The next day, Chen Nian attended the regular working meeting of the Spark team on time.

At the meeting, the representatives of each project reported the latest progress of the project, most of which are in stable operation, and also made it clear that no new technical support is needed for the time being.

Of course, it's not because they don't want it, but because they really can't afford it.

There is a limit to the progress of the project, and most of the projects currently underway have reached the upper limit, and blind feeding technology will only bring the opposite effect, which is well known to the front-line personnel in the project.

Therefore, even if Chen Nian really hopes that a major project like Deep Blue 16 can make a breakthrough quickly, he still must respect the opinions of front-line personnel and give them more time.

On the whole, the problems we are currently facing are still mainly the problems of insufficient resources and insufficient foundation."

"After the high-speed rail project has brought us a lot of budget and resources, due to the acceleration of the recent project progress and the expansion of the project scale, the available resources of our Spark team have once again come to the warning line."

"Subsequently, we asked each project team to re-report the use of resources and the budget for the next year, so that we could make more detailed planning."

"In addition, part of the budget for the island-building project has to come from us - don't look at me like that, it's not a job I took on my own initiative, because there is really no money on it."

"We are the fattest sheep now, and we can get a little bit of it."

"Of course, we also got what we deserved."

"In the future, after the island resource development process is launched, the Spark team will give priority to enjoying the benefits it brings, such as oil and gas, wind power, tourism, and the hidden benefits brought by military advantages."

"These things will be converted into budgets and allocated to us. It's just that it can be a bit long. ”

Hearing Chen Guo's speech, no one in the conference room did not roll their eyes.

There is no other reason, this pie is too far drawn!

Now that the island building has just started, you will come and talk to me about the development of oil and gas resources?

Can't wait twenty years?

Sure enough, even at the national level, it can't get rid of the law of eating big households

However, jokes aside, the entire Spark project team did not hesitate to suspend many other key projects at the most difficult time to provide funds for the Spark team.

Now that the Panel's budget is generous, it is understandable to take back a little and use it where it is most urgent.

If you are really short of money, you should find a way to make money.

In the conference room, someone asked:

"So what's our current overall plan? Do you want to keep your project the same for the time being? Or is it like the last high-speed rail project, to seek a breakthrough? ”

"At present, the progress of the high-speed rail project is very good, and the first test run is about to start, which is a successful practice, can we apply it?"

Hearing this question, Chen Guo's eyes moved to the representative of the high-speed rail project, Zhang Shuguang.

Zhang Shuguang coughed and replied:

"In my personal opinion, the idea of the high-speed rail project can be replicated."

"Let me sum up, from the entire high-speed rail project, we have not only saved a lot of originally planned procurement costs, technology research and development and application costs, but more importantly, according to our current plan, we will soon be able to focus on customers in this field."

"After the first high-speed rail line is completed and opened to traffic, we will quickly carry out technical precipitation and summary, and promote it to the whole country."

"At the same time, we will also start to think about the export of technology."

"At present, we are already in contact with India, South Africa and other countries, and have reached a preliminary intention."

"If it goes well, we are likely to be able to replace several traditional large factories and become suppliers of each other's high-speed rail projects."

"This will bring us a lot of benefits and feed back the development of the country."

Hearing his words, everyone present nodded one after another.

It's a great path indeed.

With the help of the technical assistance of the Spark Group, we will first break the monopoly of foreign capital and form our own technology, and then export technology to foreign countries, and feed back the technology application process through export proceeds.

It can be said that this path is both mature and stable, and it can achieve good results no matter what field it is applied in.

As a result, everyone expressed their positions.

"It's a good idea, and I think we can replicate it in other areas."

"I agree that the path of the Sky Whale is basically similar to the high-speed rail path, and we have also started to contact some European countries."

"That's a good idea, but the question is, what field do we choose?"

"It must be civilian, and it is too difficult and too sensitive to export the military industry"

Listening to everyone's discussion, Chen Nian took a deep breath and said:

"How's the EPB?"

His words sounded, and everyone subconsciously fell silent.

He looked around and continued:

"At the moment, our disadvantages in the field of shield machines are obvious."

"Our demand for shield machines is increasing year by year, but the localization rate has always stagnated."

"According to the latest data, among the 603 recorded shield machines in use in China, the share of domestic brands is only 12%, which is far lower than the localization rate of other industries."

"The interests are divided by foreign capital, and we must invest a lot of foreign exchange resources every year to meet our own needs."

"If we can achieve localization in a short period of time, then this amount of money can also be saved."

"According to the preliminary estimates of relevant experts, this figure is about 40 billion yuan per year."

"Therefore, I suggest that at this stage, the shield machine should be built first."

After finishing speaking, Chen Nian sat back in his seat, waiting for everyone's answers.

And the discussion rang out again.

"The shield machine is a good idea, the prospects for this large, heavy machinery are very clear, and we do face a rather embarrassing situation."

"Yes, but is it enough to build a shield machine?"

"It's not enough, construction machinery, we are weak as a whole."

"In addition to the shield machine, there are also bridge erectors, heavy-duty excavators, large road cranes, high-power bulldozers, road rollers, and all kinds of flat trucks and trucks."

"All questions? Why? ”

"There is no reason, at present, the self-production rate of our construction machinery is not even 5%, and the market is basically monopolized by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Komatsu, Volvo and Caterpillar."

"We have also tried to break the monopoly in the past, but only XCMG has made progress, and other domestic companies can be said to be stagnant until now."

"So it's all about it? Will the stall be too big? ”

"There is not much difference in the core technology, mainly the diesel engine, motor and hydraulics, and most of the problems will be solved by solving these problems."

"More than that, how to solve the thyristor problem in the comprehensive electrical system? Will Lao Mei give it to us? ”

"Then add one more."

Listening to everyone's discussion, Chen Nian's brows gradually furrowed.

This stall is a bit big.

He never thought that the equipment gap in infrastructure in China is not only reflected in the big killer of the shield machine, but even the excavator that he thinks is the most basic has such a big problem!

In the past, I listened to advertisements every day about "which excavator technology is stronger", but over time, it really formed a misunderstanding, thinking that Lanxiang is really the strongest excavator technology.

But if you think about it carefully, even if you are strong, it is the excavator operation that is strong, not the excavator manufacturing!

Obviously, China is still in an early stage where it will be used or not

We really have to solve this problem.

Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and said:

"If we decide to start with construction machinery, then we must circle out a few key equipment, through the development of key equipment to drive the development of the entire industry, in this area, do you have any suggestions?"

There was silence again in the conference room, and then someone raised his hand and said:

"The shield machine is definitely going to be done, there is no doubt about it."

"Secondly, I think excavators and large road cranes should also be done, and these two pieces of equipment are the most urgent problems to be solved at present."

Chen Nian nodded and asked:

"Anything else?"

"Bridge erecting machine, gantry crane!"

"Okay, anything else?"

"If the other technologies are compatible and shared, there will be no other for the time being, right? Does anyone else have anything to add? ”

Everyone shook their heads, Chen Nian recorded the terms of these equipment in his notebook, and at the same time secretly designed the entries in the system, and began to check and analyze the source points required for all the equipment.

According to a rough estimate, these equipment will consume at least 19 of his source points, and even the source points he has on hand now are not enough!

However, this is a prediction made under the premise of using the clumsiest and most arbitrary method to parse it.

In fact, if the key technologies can be sorted out and the duplicate technologies can be removed, the source point consumption should be greatly reduced.

16 source points are definitely enough.

It's just that after it's done, there's not much left.

Chen Nian breathed a sigh of relief, and then spoke:

"Then let's set our direction for the time being."

"In the future, I will gather relevant staff to start the project."

"You don't have to worry too much about the technical aspects."

"There is only one problem we need to consider: how to put this project into practice"

After the meeting, Chen Nian came to Chen Guo's office as usual to discuss the details of the project with him.

As soon as he entered the office, Chen Guo immediately found out the report and said with ease:

"Here's a list of all the resources we can call right now."

"Among them, it includes the alternative project participants, the technical base, the main staffing, and the previous equipment research and development experience report."

"Sorted out so quickly?"

Chen Nian asked in surprise.

"It's nothing, the Spark team has a high authority now, and a lot of things are prepared, and they were also used by the expert group when they did research in the early stage."

"When we discussed it just now, I asked people to sort it out and knew that you would use it."

Hearing this, Chen Nian nodded slightly, calmed down, and began to read the report that Chen Guo gave him.

In fact, the content of the report had been greatly streamlined, and there wasn't much he really needed to see.

In just half an hour, he already had a preliminary understanding of the current situation.

"So, at present, the strongest construction machinery manufacturing company in China, or XCMG Group?"

Chen Guo nodded and replied:

"Yes. Sany is also very strong, but Sany is mainly focused on super-large equipment. ”

"In the case of railway construction, they mainly rely on them to make shield machines, but there is no way to provoke the girder in the overall situation."

"My suggestion is that if this project is to be done, it will still be based on XCMG, supplemented by Sany, and China Railway Construction will be responsible for the subdivision of the special project."

"That's what I thought too."

Chen Nian said approvingly.

But at this moment, he suddenly found that Chen Guo's expression seemed to be a little hesitant.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? ”

Chen Guo frowned and thought for a moment, then replied:

"There is a problem."

"It occurred to me that if we were to do this project, we would probably face more than just technical problems."

"More than just technology? Resource? Fund? Talent? What else? ”

Chen Nian asked suspiciously.

"Neither, it's inertia."

"Inertia?"

"The inertia of dependence on imported products."

Chen Guo said solemnly.

"You know, civilian products are not the same as military products."

"The fighter planes, missiles, and large ships we engaged in before will definitely be used as long as they are built, and they will definitely produce corresponding benefits, so this also determines that we have no worries in the entire R&D and production process."

"But civilian products are different, civilian products, we must consider its market economic effect."

"In a word, this thing has to be sellable."

"But now, the problem we face is that our various sectors of the economy are overly dependent on imported products."

"This dependence has even formed an inherent mindset."

"A lot of our departments are now non-imported, because for them, the use of imported products is the least risky and the training cost is the lowest."

"I have inspected many large factories before, and there is a typical phenomenon: they will complete the procurement tasks that are forced by the superiors."

"However, they will not really use the domestic equipment that they have purchased, but will only throw it aside and let it eat dust and scrap it."

"This situation is very helpless and sad."

"But if we want to engage in civilian use, this problem is a problem that we have to face and solve."

Hearing this, Chen Nian finally understood what Chen Guo's "inertia" was about.

In the final analysis, this is still a lack of confidence in domestic brands.

Of course, this is not to blame on the user's head, in fact, in the past few years, domestic brands are too uncompetitive.

Not to mention the far and small, just a Hanxin incident has made the domestic semiconductor chip industry stagnate for how many years?

Distrust is as it should be, after all, no one will really pay for feelings.

However, compared to Chen Guo, Chen Nian was not too worried about this problem.

He thought for a moment, then replied:

"I'll figure out how to solve this problem."

"How can you figure it out? Is there any good way to do it? ”

Chen Nian shook his head.

"There's no good way, only stupid ways."

"Isn't it enough to break the trick with strength?"

"They are not willing to use products with the same performance and contemporaries, so what if our products are more advanced than imported products?"

"Let me think about it. The lead generation may not be enough. ”

"Let's set a small goal first, so that domestic products are ahead of similar imported products. Well, 10 years. ”
