The Immortal Warrior: From Reverse Engineering to Forging Swords for the Country

Chapter 219 Creating the era of self-media [please support us]

The whole country also attaches great importance to this electromagnetic catapult aircraft carrier, the first in the country and the first in the world.

Important figures from the military rushed to Dalian in an endless stream to observe the aircraft carrier being outfitted.

Even one day in early December, Guo Zaijie accompanied his leaders to the outfitting dock of Dalian.

Zhang Zhipeng naturally had to accompany him.

Zhang Zhipeng introduced various advanced technologies of this new aircraft carrier to the leaders.

Although this aircraft carrier still uses conventional power and does not have nuclear power, its power has been greatly improved.

It no longer uses steam turbines, but high-power domestic gas turbines.

The reason why steam turbines are abandoned is that this power device is a boiler.

The water must be boiled before the aircraft carrier can be driven at full speed.

In addition, the steam turbine equipment is huge and takes up a relatively large space, which is not conducive to the reasonable arrangement of the aircraft carrier's space utilization.

Zhang Zhipeng introduced it to the leader, who listened with great interest. He asked enthusiastically: "How does our aircraft carrier compare with Lao Miao's nuclear-powered aircraft carrier?"

"But nuclear-powered aircraft carriers take a long time to maintain, have high maintenance costs, and high scrapping costs. The overall cost of use is more than 50 percent higher than that of conventional aircraft carriers."

"How far can it hit a target?"

"Of course, this will have to be tested after the electric bomb device is installed on the aircraft carrier."

"Our war potential can be said to be unique in the world!"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "It can be said that each has its own merits."

"So, this makes our military manufacturing capabilities unique in the world."

"I think it won't be possible within 50 years at least, because we are facing a big bottleneck that we have been unable to break through."

Therefore, the steam turbine aircraft carrier in combat readiness will not shut down. Even if it is docked at the dock, it will continue to burn heavy fuel and be ready to attack at any time.

"In short, our weapons and equipment have gradually caught up from lagging behind, and have even taken the lead in some aspects."

"Comrade Zhipeng, are you sure the electromagnetic catapult can hit a large early warning aircraft?"

The equipment also occupies a small space, so that the saved space can be used to install a large generator set specifically to supply energy to the electromagnetic catapult and also to supply energy to the electromagnetic rail gun.

"I hope that after a few iterations, we can achieve the freedom of anti-missile strikes of the electromagnetic rail gun."

"It should be easy to eject a large early warning aircraft."

"I never dreamed that we could have such an advanced aircraft carrier."

"However, ship-based nuclear reactors still need to be developed."

"With conventional power, if you fill it up with fuel, it can only travel 1 to nautical miles at most."

The leader said: "Don't worry, take your time!"

The leader pondered for a moment and said: "If we can eject the early warning aircraft, then the safety of our aircraft carrier will be better guaranteed when it goes on a long voyage."

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Yes, we have tested it on land at least three thousand times in a row. Our electromagnetic ejection device can eject objects weighing up to 45 tons."

"Currently, we are also working hard to develop a ship-based nuclear reactor that is safer, has better energy efficiency, and has lower maintenance costs. If it succeeds, we can also use it immediately on the aircraft carrier we will build next."

Now, a domestic large-scale gas turbine can output more than 40 megawatts of power and more than 5 horsepower. Only two of them can drive an 8-ton aircraft carrier forward at high speed.

"I have watched the test firing of the ship-based electromagnetic rail gun. It is really powerful!"

"In this way, we can strike at a wider range than our opponents and have more powerful lethality."

"The most deadly thing is that if a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is destroyed in a war, it is likely to have fatal consequences."

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "As far as the limits of our current shipboard power generation devices and supercapacitor devices are concerned, there is no problem in attacking targets within a range of 300 kilometers."

"The most important point is that we are still a super industrial power, and our current industrial capacity is already the first in the world!"

"Nuclear fusion is also very difficult to do."

"We are missing the power plant."

The preparation time is quite long, and it may take more than half a day to get started.

Therefore, the new aircraft carrier uses a combination of high-power gas turbines and high-power diesel engines.

"Of course, the current technology of our electromagnetic railgun still needs to be improved."

The leader nodded and said: "I think conventionally powered aircraft carriers are almost enough now."

"We don't need a global deployment, as long as we can maintain surrounding security, that's enough."

"If we take the lead in building a nuclear fusion power station, then we don't have to worry, haha!"

"The advantage of nuclear power is that once you add nuclear fuel, you can travel millions of nautical miles, which is simply unlimited endurance."

Moreover, the gas turbine requires a short warm-up time and can start driving quickly after it is started.

"The most important thing is that we have achieved precise guidance!"

"I am very satisfied to see this aircraft carrier."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Boss, you are right."

"Of course, we still have some industries that are currently lagging behind Lizafang."

The leader pondered for a moment and asked: "What other industries are there exactly?"

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "The most backward industry is undoubtedly the remote breeding industry."

The leader was stunned: "Huh?"

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and explained: "Our dog-raising skills are not very good..."

After listening to Zhang Zhipeng's explanation, the leader suddenly nodded and said with a smile: "We should also pay attention to this."

"However, as the saying goes, evil cannot prevail against good. We still have to win the final victory in a more dignified way!"

The leader was also very emotional.

When he first came to power, the country was still quite backward.

At that time, everyone was inferior to others, and there was a feeling of depression in the country.

Who would have thought that nine years have passed and this country has created a miracle in nine years.

Not only are there things that didn’t exist before, but they are even leading the world in some aspects.

In the past, they were generally backward, but now there are fewer and fewer technological products that Lizufang regards as the crown jewel of industry.

"Comrade Zhipeng, our country is moving forward rapidly thanks to top scientists like you."

"I originally thought that it would be great to see the country enter the top five in the world's GDP rankings in my lifetime."

"But now, we are about to surpass Footbath and become second in the world!"

"Then, maybe I can still look forward to seeing when we reach the top!"

"Hahaha!"

The leader laughed very happily.

The atmosphere at the scene was also extremely good.

Under Zhang Zhipeng's leadership, the outfitting work of the second aircraft carrier progressed very smoothly.

Large pieces are being installed one after another.

When the two electromagnetic ejection devices are installed, the outfitting work has come to an end.

Of course, in addition to the electromagnetic ejection device, there are other configurations that must be installed and completed.

During this process, the research and development of Weibo, led by Penguin Group, is also proceeding rapidly.

By mid-December 1998, Weibo had been compiled and produced.

In other words, this can be regarded as the world’s first self-media platform for rapid distribution of news information.

After the development of Weibo was completed, Huateng called Zhang Zhipeng.

He informed Zhang Zhipeng that the Weibo architecture has been finalized and is currently under internal testing.

When Zhang Zhipeng heard the news, he immediately flew directly from Dalian to Shenzhen.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhang Zhipeng saw Huateng picking him up.

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said to Huateng: "Thank you for your hard work, you have created Weibo so quickly."

"This thing plays a big role in my plan! Haha!"

Huateng shook hands with Zhang Zhipeng and said respectfully: "We are following your ideas and ideas, and the goal is very clear."

"Besides, our current Internet technology is also top-notch in the world, and we have abundant talents. That's why we can build it so quickly."

"However, this product requires a lot of information content and news media to support it, right?"

"I'm afraid we won't be able to attract so many people at first."

Zhang Zhipeng waved his hand and said: "Invite large amounts of money and sign contracts with celebrities. If the news media is unwilling to join, then ask journalists to publish information in their personal capacity."

"Then we pay them based on the number of clicks."

"Once it is implemented, a large number of Internet celebrity bloggers will be cultivated, and ordinary users will also flock in. At that time, everything will be easier to handle."

"It doesn't matter, let's take our time!"

"There's no need to be in such a hurry now."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhipeng and Huateng got into the car together, and were escorted by the motorcade straight to Penguin's headquarters.

To put it bluntly, Penguin has been around for a little over a year.

Their development is also quite rapid.

Today, Penguin QQ has more than two to three billion registered users.

Of course, there are definitely not a few people who register repeatedly.

But this year, the number of Chinese netizens also ushered in a huge explosion.

With the popularity of ADSL and the proliferation of Internet cafes everywhere, young people in cities now regard the Internet as fashionable.

Even if ADSL is not installed at home, it is very convenient to go to an Internet cafe to surf the Internet.

Therefore, QQ now has more than 20 to 30 million daily active users.

At its peak, the number of simultaneous online users reached over 5 million.

The Internet is such a good thing.

It satisfies young people's dream of making friends, and many people are obsessed with QQ chat.

The surge in users has naturally also brought about a surge in Penguin's revenue.

Today, Penguin Company only relies on selling memberships and value-added accessories such as QQ shows, etc., and its monthly income can exceed more than 200 million.

In addition, its advertising business is also increasing, and its monthly advertising revenue can reach more than 100 million.

This also makes Penguin Company basically no longer need blood transfusions from Zhang Zhipeng, but can be self-sufficient.

This is really an amazing achievement.

Of course, Penguin is also rapidly expanding its product line relying on QQ.

The first is that it quickly launched the penguin game business according to Zhang Zhipeng's arrangement.

It has just been launched and the response has been good.

The revenue from the game segment mainly comes from selling various game beans and game VIP memberships.

Games are becoming a rapidly growing revenue segment.

In the car, Huateng told an interesting story. He said that after QQ became popular, investors from Hong Kong Island and all over the world wanted to invest in Penguin Company.

Among them is Li Chaoren’s eldest son.

The other party hopes to invest 10 million dollars in Penguin Company, and also wants to occupy at least 40% of the shares. Huateng said: "I told him at that time that although we were a start-up company, we could already achieve a monthly revenue of 20 to 30 million soft sister coins after three months of launch."

"Moreover, our shareholders are strong and we don't need external investment at all."

"Superboy was very disappointed at the time."

Huateng regarded this as an interesting story.

But Zhang Zhipeng thought of his past life, when several major Internet giants were dominated by foreign capital and made a lot of money.

But now, this situation is definitely gone forever.

The original three giants in the previous life are now in the hands of Zhang Zhipeng.

Of course, state investment also accounts for a large proportion.

Zhang Zhipeng said with a smile: "Shenzhen Town has developed very rapidly in recent years, right?"

Huateng nodded and said, "Yes! It's really fast."

"In the past four or five years, Shenzhen Town has become visibly prosperous, and the built-up area has expanded to almost all open land."

"Of course, currently, Shenzhen Town is mainly supported by enterprises from the Huaxing and Warwick families."

"Shenzhen has also become a highland for Internet entrepreneurship."

"There are many emerging high-tech companies."

"Shenzhen is rapidly catching up with Hong Kong Island."

"Based on the current situation, I think Shenzhen Town will surpass Hong Kong Island in terms of economic scale within a few years."

"Nowadays, the superiority of Hong Kong Islanders is hard to mention, haha!"

Zhang Zhipeng said: "But now the people on Hong Kong Island must still be looking down at us, right?"

Huateng said: "Yes! Their superiority is still there."

"But it's just hard words."

While talking, we arrived at the headquarters of Penguin Company.

Penguin has bought a building and built a headquarters.

This is almost unique among Internet startups.

No way, they develop the fastest and make the most money.

Zhang Zhipeng also felt that they should be given some special treatment.

Besides, buying a 10-story building actually only costs more than million.

Zhang Zhipeng's arrival was greeted by Penguin employees.

Zhang Zhipeng responded with a smile and waved, and walked into the building with Huateng.

Among the people who welcomed him, there were many blond and blue-eyed foreigners.

However, this is not surprising, because China has provided very competitive salaries in order to snatch outstanding talents from all over the world.

Although Penguin Company has just been established, because it is backed by a strong backend, the salary offered is also very competitive, which has also attracted many outstanding talents from Da Mao.

There are also some outstanding talents from Europe and the United States who are also beginning to try to join.

The competition in this era is actually the competition of talents.

Whoever can grab the most top talents will occupy the commanding heights of technological development.

In fact, Ami still has the strongest attraction to outstanding talents from all over the world.

However, their development has gone astray.

It is sometimes difficult to rely on finance and some high-tech industries to maintain its strength.

What's more, are there really not many competitive industries left for them?
Arriving at Huateng's office, Zhang Zhipeng couldn't wait to see what the Weibo they wrote and produced looked like.

This Weibo is now in internal testing.

It is mainly used by employees from Huaxing Department and Warwick Department.

At the same time, many accounts have been established within Penguin.

This includes news, entertainment, sports, humor, anime, games, cars and more.

Zhang Zhipeng browsed Weibo with great interest, because it was built according to Zhang Zhipeng's idea, so it is still very similar to Weibo in his previous life.

All functions are complete.

There are currently more than 10,000 registered accounts posting.

Each post is very short, but the word limit is temporarily set at a maximum of 500 words. You can post pictures and video clips.

Zhang Zhipeng browsed through it and felt that this version of Weibo was very well done.

"Boss, would you like to register an account and post content regularly?"

"If you have an account with us and it will be publicly launched in the future, it will definitely attract more people to join."

Huateng said to Zhang Zhipeng.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said, "Yeah! Then I'll register one too."

Zhang Zhipeng also casually registered an account and immediately posted a Weibo post.

As soon as his Weibo post was posted, it was immediately distributed to every internal beta user.

Soon, his number of fans increased from zero to more than a hundred.

After refreshing again, someone immediately left a message below.

The first message was sent by Ren Zhengfei: Ha! Comrade Zhipeng finally registered an account and must be one.

The second post was sent by Zhao Min: I know this person. I just came up here to check the situation and I saw it. Husband, I love you.

……

This is the significance of Weibo. Information scrolls very quickly. As long as it becomes popular, everyone online will see it immediately, and then it will quickly gain a lot of views and interactions. Then more people will interact, and it will It will become a big hit and be on the hot list.

"Boss, are you satisfied?" Huateng asked with a smile.

Zhang Zhipeng nodded and said: "It met my expectations."

"It is already a very mature product."

"It is recommended to expand the scope of internal testing and enrich the content. Then it will be released publicly across the country."

Huateng said: "Then we will start contacting celebrities and major media and invite them to move in."

Zhang Zhipeng said: “Let’s pop up a pop-up window on QQ to remind you.”

"Invite netizens to actively join the internal beta and fill out the application. Those who successfully apply will be given a one-month membership as a gift."

"This is aimed at individual journalists from the news media and invites them to join in and publish news information."

Huateng naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

The Penguin crew sprang into action.

However, when they invited the media to participate in the internal beta and register accounts, they were met with a cold reception.

The media doesn’t seem to be too interested in joining Weibo.

Because this doesn't bring them much benefit.

On the contrary, due to the development of the Internet, traditional media are now experiencing some crises.

After all, newspapers and television are all information media.

If everyone is reading information online, who is still reading newspapers and watching TV?
Therefore, the media generally does not cooperate.

But this is also a normal thing.

Invitations to celebrities were not smooth either.

Especially not many celebrities are interested.

They looked down on the little money Penguin gave them.

I think that if Penguin takes the initiative to invite them to join Weibo, it should pay according to the endorsement price. That is only reasonable.

You give me several thousand dollars a month to post information and share my life on your platform?

Why?

Again, although the Internet has just emerged, the number of Internet users has increased dramatically.

However, traditional media is still very powerful.

Celebrities are generally short-sighted. They have not yet smelled the advent of the Internet era and its dominance of the world.

Although inviting influential celebrities was not very successful, we did invite more than a dozen cultural celebrities and famous professors.

The QQ pop-up window still played a certain role, and many reporters from all over the country joined in.

For individual journalists, the extra 1000 yuan in monthly income after joining the closed beta is not a small amount.

A few days later, Huateng came to report to Zhang Zhipeng.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said: "The invitation plan did not go well. We did not invite many influential celebrities."

Zhang Zhipeng smiled and said: "Nothing!"

“If they don’t join now, they will join automatically in the future, and, at that time, there won’t be any money given to them.”

"I have been checking Weibo every day in the past few days, and I have seen that many news and information sharing bloggers are already posting about various news events."

"That's a good sign."

"After a week of internal testing, I feel that there are no major problems, so I can go online."

Huateng asked: "Then why don't you ask major newspapers and TV stations to publish some soft articles and press releases to promote it?"

Zhang Zhipeng shook his head and said, "It's not necessary at all."

"Don't we control the largest Internet media in China?"

"Just set up a Weibo entrance on QQ and put in a pop-up advertisement."

"There will be a lot of people coming in to watch the fun soon."

“As long as they come in and play for a while, they will be attracted by this fresh self-media platform.”

“I believe the popularity will rise immediately, and the number of registered users will increase rapidly in a short period of time.”

Zhang Zhipeng is quite confident that Weibo will become a hit.

However, Weibo’s success in China is just a prelude.

Zhang Zhipeng still hopes that after its success in China, it can quickly spread abroad and create a climate around the world.

His goal is to replace Twitter's place in the world in his previous life.

A week later, Weibo was officially launched online.

QQ has set up a special entrance for it on the panel.

We also made an advertisement above the chat dialog box. The theme of the advertisement is: Weibo - creating an era of self-media and giving the right to speak to ordinary people. Each of us is a media.

This slogan is quite attractive.

Because the traditional media is now very powerful and controls the absolute right to speak, and ordinary people have no channel to speak out.

If you can speak for yourself and get a lot of attention, it will be quite attractive to ordinary people.

At the very least, when everyone sees it, they want to click in and take a look.
