The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 430: Candidate for the President of Southwest Associated University (asking for monthly votes)
Where there are many universities, there must also be many scientific research institutions.

Because universities themselves have many scientific research institutions.

In China, there are five centers of universities and research institutions.

First of all, Beijing has 91 colleges and universities, including the most famous universities in China, such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Renmin University, and Beijing Normal University. It can be said that Beijing is the center of colleges and universities in China, gathering the largest number of key universities in China. Similarly, it is also a scientific research center and the largest scientific and technological research base in China, with scientific research institutions such as the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Chinese Academy of Engineering, with a total number of more than scientific research institutions.

The second is Jiangcheng, which is one of the five cities with the most concentrated higher education resources in China. Its comprehensive scientific and educational strength ranks third in the country. It has 80 colleges and universities, second only to Beijing. Among them are Wuhan University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Zhongnan University of Economics and Law, Wuhan University of Technology, Huaxia University of Geology, Huazhong Agricultural University, and Central China Normal University. There are 98 scientific research institutions affiliated with government departments, 23 national key laboratories, 1 national laboratory, 3 national engineering laboratories, and 27 national engineering technology research centers.

Next is Guangzhou, which is the city with the highest density of universities in southern China and one of the cities with the most developed higher education. It has 80 colleges and universities, 150 state-owned research and development institutions, scientific and technological information and documentation institutions at the county level and above, 7 national engineering research centers, 11 national engineering technology centers, 11 national engineering laboratories, 246 provincial engineering technology research centers and 247 municipal engineering technology research centers.

Shancheng is the center of education in the western region. There are 63 colleges and universities that have moved to Shancheng. It has 95 key laboratories at the municipal level and above, including 8 national key laboratories and 328 engineering technology research centers.

Finally, there is Xi’an, which is one of the top five education and scientific research centers in the country. It has 49 higher education institutions and more than 3000 scientific research and technical institutions of various types!

In comparison, Kunming is much worse.

The old man smoked a cigarette with a thoughtful look on his face. Rebuilding the "Southwest Associated University" is not a trivial matter, or in other words, education has never been a trivial matter.

In the past, Yunnan Province belonged to the southwestern border province, that is, a frontier province. The frontier province was mainly concerned with geopolitical security, and its other status and influence were negligible.

However, since the rise of Panshan Machinery Factory, Yunnan Province has developed very rapidly, and its status and influence have been continuously improving.

Especially now that we are almost at the point of opening up two land routes to the Indian Ocean, as well as what is happening in Sikkim and Bhutan, the significance is even more extraordinary.

Once the two railways are completed and two ports are built, the entire Yunnan Province will become the frontier for exports from the entire western region.

Although the child is still making trouble and he is still being beaten, he cannot be beaten for too long. Four or five years at most will be enough. If he is beaten any longer, the child may die.

Nowadays, beating children is to make them submit.

"In principle, I agree with the reconstruction of 'Southwest Associated University', but we have to make it clear in advance that the country has no money to invest in the construction of 'Southwest Associated University'." The old man thought for a while and said slowly.

Liu Tao immediately smiled happily, "Please rest assured, leader, we still have the money to build 'Southwest Associated University'!"

Now that this matter has been resolved, it can be said that the purpose of this trip to the capital has been achieved.

In the following days, Liu Tao was in a good mood and spent his vacation happily.

Return to Queensland.

Liu Tao mentioned the reconstruction of "Southwest Associated University" at the provincial party committee meeting.

When everyone heard that the reconstruction of "Southwest Associated University" had been approved, they couldn't help but applaud and cheer excitedly.

Education is always a big thing.

No one will ignore it.

After the meeting, the province set up a special working group to prepare and build the "Southwest Associated University".

In addition, this working group will be responsible for the relocation of colleges and universities, and will relocate all colleges and universities in Kunming to the area along Dianchi Lake.

When all are completed, in addition to the Panshan Group headquarters, there will be only one national sanatorium, one provincial sanatorium, and one municipal sanatorium around Dianchi Lake. In addition, there will be colleges and universities, scientific research institutions, and a few cultural relics protection units. No other factories will be built here. The entire Dianchi Lake will be built with high-standard highways and subways to form a transportation network around Dianchi Lake.

Liu Tao also breathed a sigh of relief after he completed the reconstruction of "Southwest Associated University".

Then he also began to think about the candidate for the president of Southwest Associated University.

After thinking about it, Liu Tao thought of a person. Although his evaluation of him was polarized later, there was no doubt that he was a great scientist and a great person.

When it comes to the most world-renowned scientist among overseas Chinese, he is undoubtedly the one.

This person is Yang Zhenning!
Although Yang Zhenning is 63 years old now, Liu Tao knows how long he lives.

Liu Tao personally wrote a letter, which was five pages long, and then sent someone to deliver it to Yang Zhenning.

Yang Zhenning is currently a professor at Stony Brook University, State University of New York, and director of the Institute of Stony Brook University, State University of New York. It is relatively convenient to contact him. The letter can be delivered directly to Yang Zhenning by someone from the foreign affairs department.

Next, we have to wait for a reply.

The design of Southwest Associated University took at least a year, so it could not be built that quickly.

After completing the inspection of various weapons and equipment, Liu Tao went to Chengdu.

Here in Chengdu, the tank and armored vehicle production base has been carried out in full swing. The selected location is far away from the urban area of ​​Chengdu, in the suburbs, surrounded by mountains on both sides. The mountains will be hollowed out. In addition to serving as air-raid shelters, they will also reserve production lines just in case.

That is to say, in the worst case scenario, the production base was bombed, and there was still a complete production line that could produce tanks and armored vehicles.

This exists in all tank production bases in the mountain city.

Even the supporting factories from the mountain city to Chengdu will adopt the same approach.

To avoid the impossibility of producing tanks and armored vehicles in the event of a bombing.

Zhao Guoping introduced to Liu Tao the design of this tank armored vehicle and its current construction status.

Compared with the tank production base in the mountain city, the tank and armored vehicle production base in Chengdu is much larger.

Once this tank and armored vehicle production base is completed, Panshan Group's tank and armored vehicle output will achieve a major leap and will double.

By then, even if there are overseas orders, production will be easy to handle.

Unlike now, production has to work in four shifts to barely deliver the orders.

"Have all the previous orders from the troops been produced and delivered?" Liu Tao asked.

在之前，部队下达了三次订单，总计1000辆81式中型坦克、500辆81式轻型坦克、200辆81式水陆两用坦克、1000辆81式步兵战车，并要求在三到五年时间完成交付。

"There's still some time left, and we expect to complete the delivery of the three batches of orders before the Spring Festival," said Zhao Guoping.

Liu Tao nodded slightly, it would be best if the order could be delivered on time.

　There are only 3000 monthly tickets left to reach 400 monthly tickets. It’s the end of the month. Brothers and sisters who have monthly tickets, and your parents who provide you with food and clothing, please help vote for the monthly tickets!
