The rise of a great power: starting with military industry

Chapter 69 Anti-aircraft weapons?

Liu Tao looked thoughtful.

This was something he had not considered before.

In the past, the Panshan Machinery Factory was small. Although it was a military factory, it was highly concealed and had little target value, making it difficult to be discovered. Even if it was discovered, it had no value in bombing attacks.

After all, the value of a missile, or the money spent on a bombing, may far exceed the entire Panshan Machinery Factory.

But it’s different now. Panshan Machinery Factory has become bigger and can be easily discovered from aerial reconnaissance.

At this time, the space technology of the United States and the Soviet Union had become very advanced, and a large number of military reconnaissance satellites were deployed in space. It was estimated that it would be difficult to avoid the reconnaissance of space satellites.

Isn’t it the polar bears that are behind the southern monkeys?

有北极熊提供情报，再加上南方猴子可是有上千架飞机，其中米格-21约有120架、米格-21P侦察机2架、苏-22攻击机数十架，再加上F-5战斗机20架、A-39攻击机-19架，空中力量到现在依旧排名世界第三位。

If the monkey goes crazy, Panshan Machinery Factory will be in trouble.

Even if there are air-raid shelters, people can enter them, but there is no way to protect machines, equipment and factories.

"Director, this is not a problem. It is a problem now, but in a year at most, this problem will be solved!" Liu Tao said confidently.

With the item upgrade system, this problem will no longer be a problem if we can equip ourselves with anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft missiles.

"One year? That's not a problem?" Wang Tiezhu looked puzzled: "What solution do you have?"

Liu Tao said: "Director, you will know when the time comes!"

Liu Tao did not directly state his plan. This matter had to be kept secret and he would talk about it when it was done.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to explain himself even with ten mouths.

Missile technology is the most advanced technology in the world. There are only a handful of people in the world who can develop missiles.

He wasn't a professional in this field before, so how can this be explained?

"It's good that you know it." Wang Tiezhu nodded slightly.

Then Wang Tiezhu confessed some more things.

The next morning, around nine o'clock.

The provincial auditorium was decorated with lights, colorful ribbons, and some flowers, making it look very festive.

There were many people sitting below, including reporters.

A commendation meeting was being held at this time, and the leader personally presented a red certificate and a bonus to Liu Tao.

There was warm applause in the auditorium.

The entire ceremony lasted for an hour. The leaders highly praised Liu Tao and called on the whole province to learn from Liu Tao and contribute to the construction of the motherland.

Countless people looked at the very young Liu Tao with disbelief and shock. Liu Tao was really too young, but they were shocked by the achievements he had made.

That result is really dazzling!

Of course, many people's eyes were filled with excitement when they learned about the bonus.

That is a huge sum of money, equivalent to the total salary of many cadres for several years.

With this bonus, Liu Tao easily became a millionaire.

At the beginning of the year, the chief designer proposed the idea of ​​"letting some farmers get rich first". In February, Renren Daily reported the deeds of "Huang Xinwen" with the title "Live a prosperous life through hard work": Huang Xinwen, a member of the second production team of the second brigade of Laixi, Xiaolan Commune, relied on the collective labor income of the production team and the development of family sideline businesses mainly engaged in pig farming in 2. His total annual income reached 1978 yuan. After deducting the cost of the family sideline business, his net income was more than 1.07 yuan.

This was the first peasant "ten thousand yuan household" that appeared after the founding of the Republic. A ten thousand yuan household became a very prominent family.

You have to know that in this era, rice costs 0.14 yuan per catty, meat costs 0.95 yuan per catty, gifts to relatives cost about 2 yuan, and New Year's money costs 0.1-0.2 yuan. Ten thousand yuan can buy a lot of things. The average monthly salary for workers is about 28 yuan, and few people have 1000 yuan in savings.

And now, Liu Tao has become a "ten thousand yuan household" thanks to his skills, which is enough to make people envious.

Liu Tao was not too excited. After all, he was already a "ten thousand yuan household" last year. After the commendation meeting, Liu Tao and the leaders came to the meeting room.

When the leader took the initiative to ask if there were any difficulties that needed to be resolved by the province, Liu Tao also raised them.

When the leaders heard that Panshan Machinery Factory would use its own funds to build a large-scale hydropower station, they were very curious.

The investment for a medium-sized reservoir is tens of millions; the investment for a large reservoir is more than fifty million!

For medium and large reservoirs, decisions are often made through provincial meetings, and leaders are well aware of this.

The leaders still clearly remember that the Maojiacun Reservoir was surveyed and selected by the State Hydropower Administration and Soviet experts in the 50s, and construction began in 1958 with an army of one hundred thousand. It took ten years to complete. It has a total storage capacity of 5.53 million cubic meters, a designed power generation capacity of 16 billion kWh, an annual average of 12 billion kWh, and an irrigation area of ​​13 acres.

The total investment is as high as over 100 million yuan, and the total cost of the dam alone is nearly 80 million yuan.

"If it is funded and built by your Panshan Machinery Factory, the province will agree in principle. However, large reservoirs must be reported to the State Hydropower Administration. The province will first set up an expert group to conduct preliminary investigation and demonstration." said the leader.

Liu Tao also knew that it was not easy to build a medium to large reservoir. It was a huge project that required site surveys, demonstrations, etc. in the early stages. Only when it was suitable for construction and the cost was calculated and there were no problems would it be reported.

Yesterday, he listened to Wang Tiezhu talk about some large and medium-sized reservoirs that have been built. Each of these large and medium-sized reservoirs is the result of man's victory over nature and has been widely publicized.

Building a large or medium-sized reservoir is much more difficult than building a large factory!
After all, at that time, there was no large-scale construction machinery, and even bulldozers and excavators were relatively lacking. Many times, they had to rely on manual labor to make up for it. You can imagine how difficult it was.

It was only after listening to Wang Tiezhu's introduction yesterday that he realized that he had underestimated the difficulty of building medium-sized and large reservoirs.

Now the leadership has agreed in principle, which is already a very good result.

"Thank you, leader!" Liu Tao didn't expect that this time it would go so smoothly and the leader even agreed.

The leader smiled and said, "I hope that Panshan Machinery Factory will further develop and grow under your leadership. If there are any difficulties, you can always raise them with the province and we can discuss solutions together."

The leaders have also learned about Panshan Machinery Factory these days and know that Panshan Machinery Factory is already the largest military factory in the province.

As for the difficulties raised by Liu Tao, the leaders believed that only building a reservoir was a problem. However, if the funds were provided by Panshan Machinery Factory, then it would not be a problem.

The province lacks nothing except money.

As long as it doesn't cost the province a lot of money, it's easy.

There is no way. We are so poor that the provincial government would like to use one dollar as three dollars.

With the Third Line Construction coming to an end, it also means that Yunnan Province will find it difficult to obtain large amounts of funds.
