The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 262 Both sons and daughters
Realize that what you are doing is dangerous.

Liu Tao did not publish any more articles, but instead kept a low profile as before and hid in the factory.

Even when someone criticized him by name in the newspaper, Liu Tao did not say a word. He remained unmoved and let them scold him.

At first, he thought that because of this incident, someone from above might dismiss him from his position and parachute in a cadre to serve as the general manager of the China Panshan Group Corporation.

But so far, nothing of this has happened.

He, as the leader, is still as stable as a rock, and no one inside is willing to stand up and oppose him at this time.

In fact, in some internal debates, more people agreed with his views.

After all, no one really wants to be poor; a prosperous country and a strong people is what everyone pursues.

Before we knew it, the last day of 1981 had passed and time had entered 1982.

At one o'clock in the morning, Zhu Lin felt a little pain in his stomach.

Liu Tao was shocked and got up quickly. Soon they arrived at the hospital nearby.

At three o'clock in the morning, Zhu Lin finally gave birth.

“Wow.”

Liu Tao heard loud cries coming from the delivery room.

"Congratulations, mother and daughter are safe!" the nurse announced the good news with a smile.

This time a daughter was born.

Now, Liu Tao now has both a son and a daughter, making up the perfect family.

Liu Tao was delighted. He did not have the idea of ​​favoring boys over girls like the older generation.

In his opinion, it doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, they are all his own children.

Liu Tao's mother took out wedding candy and invited the medical staff to eat it.

Liu Tao walked in carefully and saw another nurse holding a newborn baby in her hands.

The newborn baby is not good-looking. It is wrinkled and ugly, just like an ugly little mouse.

But Liu Tao couldn't take his eyes off that stinky thing. There seemed to be an intangible bond between them.

Liu Tao called that mysterious feeling a blood connection.

Liu Tao's throat was dry, and he carefully took the baby who had just been washed and dressed from the nurse.

He held the baby and tiptoed to the bedside, and saw that Zhu Lin was very weak and soaked in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water.

At this moment, Zhu Lin opened his eyes and looked at Liu Tao and the child in his arms somewhat weakly, "Is it a boy or a girl?"

"It's a daughter!" Liu Tao held his daughter carefully in one hand, and then held Zhu Lin's hand with the other.

Liu Tao showed the child to Zhu Lin and said, "Our daughter looks a lot like you. She will definitely be a great beauty in the future."

Zhu Lin took the child with a motherly smile on her face. She touched the child's face and said, "It doesn't matter whether he is beautiful or not. I just hope our child grows up healthy and happy."

Suddenly, he seemed to think of something: "Does the previous agreement still count?"

Then Zhu Lin looked nervous.

Liu Tao smiled and said, "It counts!"

He knew what the agreement Zhu Lin was talking about.

Zhu Lin and he had agreed that if it was a boy, Liu Tao would name the child, and if it was a girl, she would name the child.

"Yingqing, Liu Yingqing, our daughter is named 'Liu Yingqing'!" Zhu Lin had some sweat on his face and looked at the child weakly.

She had been thinking about this name for a long time. She had looked through several names and fell in love with this one.

Liu Tao held his newborn daughter in his arms and said, "Yingqing is a nice name, so let's give her that name."

Three days later, they were discharged from the hospital.

The birth of my daughter brought a lot more laughter to our family.

Even when the vacation was over, Liu Tao was reluctant to leave his wife and children.

But under Zhu Lin's urging and reluctant eyes, he set out on his journey home again.

Kun City, Haikou Town.

A huge piece of land has now turned into a huge construction site.

The infrastructure engineering corps is building.

In other words, these people can no longer be called infrastructure engineering troops, because just half a month ago, 30,000 officers and soldiers of the Yunnan Provincial Command of the Infrastructure Engineering Corps collectively took off their military uniforms and formed the Yunnan Provincial Urban Construction Group.

From then on, these people no longer belonged to the army, nor did they have the status of soldiers, but were now under the jurisdiction of the local government.

The province has provided support of 10,000 people to join the construction of the headquarters of China Panshan Group, just to complete the construction as soon as possible.

Liu Tao looked at the large construction site. Although there was a serious shortage of engineering vehicles and construction equipment, the construction here was being carried out with the help of a large number of manpower.

The headquarters building of China Panshan Group Corporation will be built into a 20-story, 70-meter-high building, and this is the first time that such a high building has been built in Yunnan Province.

The headquarters building of China Southwest Ordnance Industry Group Corporation and China Southwest Industrial Group Corporation is lower than the headquarters building of China Panshan Group Corporation. It is an 18-story building with a height of 64 meters.

Because this is a high-rise building, an elevator will also be installed.

The elevator is naturally produced by Panshan Machinery Factory itself.

Even some places need to install air conditioners, which are all produced by Panshan Machinery Factory itself.

Of course, the current manufacturer of air conditioners should be China Gree Home Appliances Group Co., Ltd., which has already invested in building a factory for production.

In addition to their own use, the refrigerators, air conditioners and hair dryers they produce are also used in various cities and exported overseas. They are currently a major taxpayer in Yunnan Province.

"Comrade Liu Tao, your cable laying route has been finalized, but is it necessary to set such a high level of confidentiality?" The provincial leaders and Liu Tao were together, a little puzzled.

Just a few months ago, Panshan Machinery Factory held a joint meeting with four southwestern provinces and military regions to build a cable, which was classified as a top military secret. The cable runs through Yunnan Province, Guangxi Province, Guizhou Province, Sichuan Province, and connects the various production bases of Panshan Machinery Factory.

"Leader, this cable is of extraordinary significance and extremely important. We are currently only conducting experiments on it." Liu Tao said with a faint smile.

This cable should actually be optical fiber. Once built, all the military factories of Panshan Machinery Factory can be connected to one another and realize the Internet.

Speaking of the Internet, it can be traced back to the 60s.

In 1969, the construction of ARPANET, the world's first experimental network based on packet switching, began under the impetus of the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. Department of Defense. In October of the same year, computers at Stanford University and the University of California, Los Angeles were connected for the first time through ARPANET, becoming the world's earliest Internet hosts.

Subsequently, more and more nodes and networks were connected to the Internet.

Of course, there are definitely not that many hosts connected to the Internet, probably only a few hundred or a thousand.

As for the commercialization of the Internet, it is still a long way off.

Liu Tao is currently only setting up a research institute at Panshan Machinery Factory, with several experts from the Computer Research Institute conducting research in this area.

As for the external announcement, it is the cable.

Because when we talk about optical fiber now, no one knows what it is.

The first goal of building this optical fiber communication line is to connect the various military factories of Panshan Machinery Factory. This is experimental in nature.

Later, it will be connected to various military regions, universities, etc., and then gradually extended.
