On June 2, 257 of the Republic (196 AD), Neijiang, the family area of the industrial park.

"Good evening, audience, it's the "News Network" program, I'm the host Qin Feng (Bai Xue) ......"

After Wang Qinian's family of four had dinner, they sat on the sofa and prepared to watch TV. Every day's "News Network" is a program that the whole family watches, and other programs are robbed. said to be a robbery, in fact, most of them were occupied by his wife Mantianxing, the soap opera "New Kanto" that was being broadcast on Central 2 attracted a large number of audiences, especially female audiences, Mantianxing's wife is also a loyal audience, since the premiere of May Day, not a single episode has been pulled down, and it has firmly occupied the choice of TV channels. As for his children, they are still young, his son is three years old, and his daughter is only one year old, it doesn't matter if he sees it or not, he can't understand it anyway.

As a result, Wang Qinian often had to go downstairs to the staff entertainment center to watch TV after watching "News Network". Wang Qinian is very depressed, and now there is only one wife to grab the channel, if the children are older in a few years, how can they get it? Come on, let's buy a TV next year.

This Changhong brand 48 cm color TV was bought by him during the May Day promotion and cost 400 yuan. At the same time, they also bought a tape recorder together, of course, they didn't buy a home theater, karaoke or something, although the two of them now have a monthly income of more than 60 yuan, but now they have two children, and there are old people to support (Wang Qinian's parents died early, and his parents are all there), and they are not too willing to spend too much money in this regard.

However, this also made Wang Qinian very satisfied. Of the hundreds of households in this building, only 20 have bought televisions, and there are only three like him who have bought color TVs and equipped with VCRs. Although the employees of Xingke Group can be called high-income in the domestic industry, they are still reluctant to buy this kind of luxury goods due to the inertia of their previous thinking, well, TV sets are still luxury goods in this era. Besides, there is an audio-visual center in the staff entertainment building downstairs, so if you really want to see it, you can see it there, but it's just a few more steps.

The classic program "News Network" on this plane is almost all in the same model as the program of the same name in the original time and space, and the host is also a man and a woman, and the content is also half domestic news and half foreign news.

The announcer's voice came over the TV: "...... At 9 o'clock this morning, the Secretary of State of the United States of America, Robert O. Lansing, arrived at the Hanking Airport, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Comrade Cavour, greeted him at the airport...... Secretary Lanceing will pay a three-day state visit to our country. This afternoon, President Moonson met with Secretary of State Ransing at the Presidential Palace. Reviewing the traditional friendship between the Chinese and American peoples, Secretary Ransing noted that China and the United States are close strategic partners, and that at a time when most European countries are embroiled in war, the two countries should work together to achieve world peace. President Moon expressed his appreciation for this. President Wen said that China and the United States have a deep traditional friendship and need to work together, and China has now developed a lot, has the ability to assume more international responsibilities, and can make greater contributions to the international community...... "At the same time, the screen shows the scene at that time, and there are subtitles below.

"After the incident, Secretary of State Ransing came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and had a friendly and warm exchange with Minister Cavour of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our country, and fully exchanged views on the relations between the two countries and issues of common concern......

On the screen, there are shots of Wendesi and Cavour sitting with Secretary of State Lansing, both of them smiling and laughing, and they appear to be extremely harmonious. Well, it just seems to be harmonious. Lan Xin made a special trip to discuss the distribution of spoils with China, that is, the issue of the distribution of European orders, but the differences between the two sides were relatively large. This is also something that can't be helped, and no one will be afraid of having more money. Anyway, until the news aired, the two sides were still arguing.

Soon the next piece of news began.

“...... Good news came from the field of engineering in China, by the Shanghai Jiangnan Shipbuilding Group and Guangzhou Shipbuilding Group produced by the three Fuxi-class battleships, yesterday Shun lì completed sea trials, of which the Dayu and Kuafu are about to be delivered to the Chinese Navy, the other Suleiman the Great was ordered by the Ottoman Navy, Austrian naval personnel have arrived in our country, ready to pick up the ship and return to China...... A total of B single performance tests, 13-item subsystem tests, and 75 comprehensive tests were carried out in this sea trial, and the test results all met the design requirements. ”

The screen switches to the Changxing Island shipbuilding base of Jiangnan Shipyard, where a huge battleship is moored on the outfitting dock, three huge main turrets with all front positions have been installed, and two thick gun barrels are pointed obliquely upward, revealing an unbeatable domineering. The overall shape of the ship is very beautiful, the wide hull looks extremely stable, the towering chimney and bridge are very visually impactful, and the hull lines are smooth, full of the magnificent beauty of large industry.

The picture begins with a large close-up of the battleship, which was shot on an airship. The camera then rotates around the warship, and finally there are several components of the shots, showing close-ups of the main turret, bridge, and deck.

"This is the first time that our country has completed three super dreadnoughts at the same time, and it is a milestone in our shipbuilding industry...... After the Dayu and Kuafu are put into service, our navy will have Fuxi-class super dreadnoughts. This is also the last batch of Fuxi-class battleships, and the next type of battleship in our country is the more advanced Sunwu-class. Mr. Wang Tengpeng, deputy chief engineer of Jiangnan Shipbuilding Company and the main designer of the Sunwu-class battleship, was interviewed by our reporter ......"

The camera switched to the dock, and a beautiful reporter girl held the microphone and smiled at the camera: "Hello audience friends, I am the on-site reporter Pu Runing, and now I am at the outfitting dock of the Changxing Island shipbuilding base, and now the super battleship docked behind me is the first of my country's newest Sun Wu-class battleships - Sun Wu." Its sister ship, the Jiang Shang, is being outfitted at the Dalian Shipbuilding Company...... Next, we ask Chief Engineer Wang Tengpeng to introduce to us the main situation of this class of warships......"

Then Sister Pu Runing turned to the one next to her: "Chief Engineer Wang, can you introduce the Sun Wu-class battleship to our audience?"

"Absolutely, because time is limited. I will briefly introduce some information, the Sun Wu class is the second type of super-dreadnought designed by our country, its standard displacement is about 45,000 tons, its weapon system is very powerful, equipped with 12 30 mm 6 times the diameter of the main gun, these main guns are installed in three quadruple turrets, this is also the largest caliber naval gun in the world today. In addition, it is equipped with eight twin 130 mm secondary guns, four twin 3 mm high-level guns, and eight four-pack 40 mm high-level guns......"

Other numbers such as armor, fire control systems, radars, computers, range, speed, etc., involve military secrets, and Wang Tengpeng did not say anything. In fact, what he said is also aimed at laymen, and real insiders only need to glance at them to know these things, and they don't need to be introduced by him at all.

Sister Purunin also didn't ask, but turned to another question: "Chief Engineer Wang, now there is a saying that our main gun was imported from the Austro-Hungarian Škoda Company, is that so?"

Wang Tengpeng said with a stern face: "I have also heard of this statement, this is not comprehensive at the beginning, because we lack experience in the development of heavy artillery, and there was no such condition in China at that time, it is indeed a technical cooperation with Skoda Company, and the two sides have cooperated to develop a new type of 0 mm, 20 mm, -10 mm and 30 mm of these four specifications of naval guns. But please note that this is a technical cooperation, we and Austria-Hungary have made efforts, not unilaterally we have taken it, and Skoda has learned a lot from us. The 30mm main gun of the Sun Wu class is completely independently developed by us, with complete intellectual property rights, not only the main gun, but all the subsystems of the Sun Wu class are designed and manufactured by us......"

At this time, Wang Qinian happily shouted to his wife Mantianxing: "Haha, this is our product star, you see how majestic this battleship is, the steam turbine it uses is a ...... made by our factory."

"See, such a big warship, it must cost a lot of money......" Mantianxing's thinking turned in another direction.

"Our country has money now, what is it to build a few big warships, this is only a super dreadnought, okay, what is it? It has just entered the top five, and if it is calculated on a per capita basis, it will not even be in the top ten. Our China is the Celestial Empire."

The stars gave him a blank look and said, "Come on, can this warship still be counted per capita?" I don't read much, don't coax me to ......."

"Why can't it be calculated on a per capita basis? Everything in this world can be calculated on a per capita basis, this is what our secretary ......said," Wang Qinian said with a smug face. He secretly said in his heart, what is per capita? Husband, I haven't taken out the "historical per capita" yet

"Okay, okay, you are reasonable" Man Tianxing was speechless, and said instead: "No matter what it is, the money that should be spent will not be less, right?"

Wang Qinian said earnestly: "Hey, you little women are just short-sighted, and this money should be spent." You see, even our family's life is so good. Look, the upstairs and downstairs that I used to say, the electric light and telephone, we achieved it a few years ago. We used to have all the envied three turns and one ring (radio, bicycle, sewing machine and watch) last year, oh, and there were more electric fans and tape recorders, and this year we bought a TV and a refrigerator. Look at what we eat and wear now, there is meat every day, either white flour or white rice, clothes are added every season, and your clothes are filled with two cabinets. Tell me, could you have imagined a few years ago that we would be able to live like this?"

"That's right, life is getting better and better now, but what does this have to do with building warships?"

If we don't build more warships, build more weapons, and build a strong army, do you think those foreign devils will watch us live a good life? You know, these foreign devils all started as robbers, and they didn't come to China to rob them, and even the imperial palace was robbed in the former Qing Dynasty. Now that we have President Wen, the Science and Technology Socialist Party, and the People's Liberation Army, they don't dare to rob it, but many countries in Africa and Asia don't have such good luck, and they are still being robbed. Isn't India revolting here, but they have been robbed by the British for hundreds of years, why you? It's because India was very rich at that time, and the British were poor compared to the Indians at that time, so they started robbing. So, if we want to keep our good life, this army must be less, and it must be stronger and more capable of fighting than those robbers," Wang Qinian said with a righteous face.

"Okay, well, I can't talk about you. You're right......" Mantianxing smiled softly, obviously persuaded by her husband. "Husband, you can really say it now, it's all a set of words, this worker's night school is not in vain......"

"Hahaha, of course, if we hadn't gone to night school, we would still be a big boss. When I first entered the factory, I only recognized one king character, oh, and one, two, three and ten, just these five words. The other words are that they recognize me, I don't recognize them," Wang Qinian said with emotion.

"I was better than you, I knew about fifty or sixty words at the time, and I could do simple arithmetic. The stars also recalled those days.

The two of them talked and laughed, and "News Network" reached the international news.

“...... At 10 o'clock this morning, Kabul time, Comrade Zhang Lizheng, premier of China's State Council, arrived at Kabul airport aboard the Feihong airship and is about to begin a five-day official goodwill visit to the Afghan People's Republic. His Excellency Mark Ji, President of the People's Republic of Afghanistan, Chairman of the Afghan Scientific Socialism Party and Spiritual Leader of Afghanistan, greeted him at the airport...... H.E. Mark Ji accompanied Premier Zhang Lizheng to review the honor guard of the Afghan People's Liberation Army......"

"Husband, this Afghanistan also has the Socialist Party and the People's Liberation Army, what does it have to do with our China?" asked Man Tianxing curiously.

Wang Qinian said disapprerovingly: "Hehe, of course you learn from us." Which of those countries around us doesn't learn from our China?"

“...... During his talks with President Makji, Premier Zhang Lizheng reviewed the traditional friendship between the Chinese and Arab peoples. During the talks, Premier Zhang said that the Afghan people are a heroic people who have thwarted the aggression of the imperialists many times in history, and this spirit of daring to fight is something that the oppressed people of the world should learn from...... Subsequently, Premier Zhang Lizheng congratulated the great victory of the Afghan people's revolutionary movement and welcomed the Afghan People's Republic to join the big socialist family. ”

“...... President Makji said that China and Afghanistan have a deep traditional friendship, and China's support and assistance to Afghanistan is selfless and a true friend of Afghanistan. China has achieved fruitful results in socialist construction, which is worth learning from Afghanistan, and the experts and advisers sent by China have played an irreplaceable role in Afghanistan's construction...... President Mark Ji said that the [Human Innovation Alliance] initiated by China has played a tremendous role in promoting human development, and this organization is glorious and great, so Afghanistan has decided to join this great organization, and the Afghan people are willing to work with the Chinese people to build a new socialist world

"Husband, husband, what is this [Human Innovation Alliance]?" Mantianxing couldn't help but ask.

Wang Qinian thought for a while and said: "Well, it's an alliance of countries, similar to the Entente and Allied countries in Europe, but I heard the secretary say that this organization only accepts socialist countries." Of course, we in China are the leading big brothers......"

The next news item begins.

“...... Our correspondent in Tehran sent the latest news, Tehran time yesterday at 6 pm, the Persian People's Revolutionary Army officially conquered Tehran, and the Qajar Dynasty Shah Ahmad remembered that his entire family was captured by the revolutionary army. At 10 o'clock this morning, the Revolutionary Army held a press conference, at which General Mufasha, Chairman of the Persian People's Party and Supreme Leader of the Persian People's Revolutionary Army, announced the official demise of the Qajar dynasty and the establishment of the Persian Socialist Republic. At 6 p.m. today, our Government announced that it had officially recognized the Socialist Republic of Persia as the legitimate government of the country and that the two countries had established diplomatic relations at the ambassadorial level......

"This Persia has also made a revolution...... "Mantianxing was a little confused.

Persia has also been oppressed by imperialism for a long time, and now that Europe is in a mess, the imperialist countries have no time to take care of this side, and it is a good opportunity for an uprising...... To say, the Khazar Dynasty really didn't fight, and knelt without resisting for a month, which was ...... than the former Qing capital" Wang Qinian pouted.

"Jingle bell...... Jingle bell ......" At this moment, the phone suddenly rang.

Wang Qinian hurriedly went over and picked up the phone: "Hey, who are you looking for?"

"Master Wang, I'm Lao Liu, please come to the workshop immediately. A few young people made a leak during the assembly, and a large military steam turbine was broken, and now there is an emergency meeting in the factory, please come over immediately and discuss how to solve it. I'm really sorry to disturb your rest......" The voice of Lao Liu, deputy director of the workshop, came from the phone.

Wang Qinian was anxious when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Lao Liu, what else is there to disturb or not, such an important matter, how can I not come." I'll be right here...... Hey, how can young people nowadays be ......?"

Lao Liu sighed: "Well, we are also responsible for this, we are in a hurry." No, there will be a leak in a hurry. Okay, I won't say any more, I have to inform the others. By the way, you don't have to do it yourself, your bike is too slow. The factory-run car has come over and will pick you up at your house in about 20 minutes. Good bye......

"Xingxing, it seems that I can't come back tonight......" Wang Qinian hung up the phone and said to his wife.

"Okay, it's important to get down to business. Go ahead, be careful on the road. By the way, you can bring something to eat, there are still a few bread ...... in the refrigerator," Mantianxing said thoughtfully.

"No need, the food group in the factory has supper, and now there are three shifts in the factory, how can there be no food?" Wang Qinian shook his head and ran to the bedroom to change clothes.

"Oh, by the way, I'll record it for me later, and I'll come back tomorrow to watch ......"
