Expedition to Europe
Chapter 539 Growth
At present, Lan Fang is in a period of social transformation.
With the basic stability of the top level, a group of vested interest groups have emerged. These vested interests can be roughly divided into three categories. One is the locals represented by Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng, one is the military represented by Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhisheng, and the last is the Chinese from the Republic of China and other parts of Southeast Asia.
As time goes by, the focus of each group is different.
The locals represented by Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng gradually gave up the plantations and began to transform towards light industry. Daily necessities, clothing factories, flour mills, and various canning factories have sprung up like mushrooms after rain, gradually enriching the variety of light industry in Lan Fang.
The development of the country is inseparable from heavy industry, and it is also inseparable from light industry.
All of Lan Fang's heavy industry is controlled by the state. This cannot be shaken and no one can interfere.
Light industry is different. In order to allow the funds of Huang Bohan and Huang Jinsheng to enter the circulation scope, Qin Zhiyuan is open to light industry. As long as they want to do it, anyone can join in.
Huang Bohan does have vision. Huang Bohan and the chemical research laboratory on Penglai Island are carrying out cooperative projects to break the American monopoly on the plastics industry. In time, the former "sugar king" may become the "plastic king".
After the establishment of Lan Fang, while Lan Fang increased its immigration efforts from the Republic of China, many entrepreneurs from the Republic of China also poured into Lan Fang. Among these people, there are naturally many knowledgeable people. They have intricate relationships in the Republic of China and understand the needs of the Republic of China. Because Huang Bohan and others have begun to withdraw from the plantation industry, agriculture has become a hot spot for entrepreneurs from the Republic of China.
What does the Republic of China need now?
Not weapons, not money, but food.
Although the Republic of China is waging a war all over the country and Lan Fang is continuing to immigrate from the Republic of China, the population of the Republic of China is still too small compared to the land output of the Republic of China, and even some troops have problems with military rations.
Under this premise, it has become the only choice for many businessmen to trade food from Lan Fang to the Republic of China.
Almost every day, there are cargo ships full of rice departing from Palembang and Coconut City to the Republic of China. When they return, the rice on board will become the population that Lan Fang urgently needs.
Compared with light industry and agriculture, the military representatives headed by Qin Zhiyuan and Qin Zhisheng pay more attention to basic industries, such as shipping, railways, the emerging aviation industry, and mining involving overseas industries. The military is more interested in these industries.
With the return of Yingzhou, Goryeo and other places, although the transport aircraft has not been fundamentally improved in technology, because of the establishment of the airport, Lan Fang already has an air route connecting Jinzhou from the northern border area, which has greatly promoted the development of the aviation industry and increased Lan Fang's demand for transport aircraft with larger load capacity and longer range.
This task still falls on the Institute of Aeronautical Engines, so Qin Zhiyuan has been looking for Long Chengyuan a bit more recently.
"Our current aircraft engines still follow the air-cooled structure of the Renault factory. The institute has optimized the engines provided by the Renault factory to a certain extent, but the functional indicators have not been fundamentally improved. If we want to make fundamental improvements, we have to wait until the engines designed by ourselves are put into production." Long Chengyuan's report did not involve specific parameters, and Qin Zhiyuan could not understand it.
Qin Zhiyuan could provide some help to Long Chengyuan, but it was limited to the aerodynamic principles and development trends of the aircraft itself. When it came to actual technology, Qin Zhiyuan could not provide much help. Long Chengyuan still needed to lead the researchers to explore in order to achieve a real breakthrough.
These directional guidances are enough. The most feared thing in scientific research is not some technical difficulties. Even the biggest "roadblocks" can be removed with the advancement of science and technology. The most feared thing in scientific research is directional errors. Once a directional error occurs, it is often impossible to make up for it.
Just like France's understanding of the use of artillery before the start of the World War, there was a directional error. If France had not had a strong foundation, I am afraid that France would have collapsed under the crushing firepower of the Germans.
After the Allied forces began to counterattack in the late World War, in many cases it was precisely because of the participation of large-caliber heavy artillery that the Allied forces were able to sail smoothly.
"When will our engine factory be able to go into production?" Qin Zhiyuan only grasped the overall situation and left the specific details to the experts.
"It won't work this year. It is estimated that it will take until the second half of next year. The problem with the factory is a small matter. The main thing is the material. If the new engine wants to truly exert its full design power, it mainly depends on the degree of improvement of the material. The existing material strength is not enough. If it is applied to the new engine, it is estimated that it can exert two-thirds of its capacity, which is good, and the life span will be greatly shortened, estimated to be less than half of the existing engine." Long Chengyuan's words were not without resentment.
"Then go get the materials. What is your brother doing recently?" Qin Zhiyuan expressed dissatisfaction with Long Chengxuan's work.
"He has been staying in the laboratory and doing experiments every day. He is busy enough, but he is not lazy. I can prove it." Can't write two "Long" with one stroke?
"There was an accident in the materials laboratory last night. A researcher accidentally caused an explosion while preparing materials. The researcher died on the spot and a senior researcher's eardrum was damaged. He will probably become deaf in the future." Misha testified nearby.
The Long brothers and Misha have a very good relationship. Because of the relationship between Michelle and Sandy, Misha treats the Long brothers like his younger brothers. Similarly, the Long brothers treat Misha like their older sister.
Well, because of Misha, the Long brothers are not very respectful to Qin Zhiyuan. It is not because they are spoiled, but because of Misha's insistence and Qin Zhiyuan's negligence.
"What's going on?" Qin Zhiyuan was suddenly nervous.
Lan Fang's laboratory, because of Qin Zhiyuan's attention and various talents collected from Germany, can be regarded as the best in the world in terms of technical capabilities.
Qin Zhiyuan understands the role of science and technology and attaches great importance to researchers. Even the lowest-level researchers can receive the same salary as school-level officers in Lan Fang, and enjoy various benefits that school-level officers can have.
In order to enhance the importance of scientific research and protect the welfare of researchers, Lan Fang established the Ministry of Science and Technology, which, together with the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, has become the six major departments of Lan Fang.
"Working too long and being overly tired." Misha said succinctly.
"Let the Prime Minister handle it. Also, tell Guo Shenglong to strictly implement the work system and not to change it without permission. Also, start the accountability mechanism immediately. No matter who is involved, they must be held accountable." Since the accident has already happened, Qin Zhiyuan can only do prevention.
"If the accountability mechanism is to be started, Tom will definitely be to blame." Misha named him directly.
"Tom" is Long Chengxuan's English name. Since Long Chengxuan's research institute has a problem, Tom will definitely be involved.
The original text is in Liu # 9 @Shu/Bar!
Lan Fang established an accountability mechanism since the founding of the country. No matter what the matter is, as long as there is a problem, someone must be held accountable. If the person responsible cannot be found, the department head will be held accountable.
This responsibility is not just a general talk, but a real price to pay. Don't even think about writing a self-criticism and getting away with it.
"If Tom is responsible, then let Tom take responsibility." Qin Zhiyuan's words were a bit serious.
Strictly speaking, Long Chengxuan is a technician. Even if he is responsible, he is not too responsible. The research institute is different from other industries. In order to avoid laymen leading experts and to make scientific research more pure and not mixed with other interests, the director of the research institute is generally concurrently served by the academic leader. For example, Long Chengyuan and the Aero Engine Research Institute. Long Chengyuan himself is the first researcher of the Aero Engine Research Institute and the director of the Aero Engine Research Institute.
In Lan Fang's accountability mechanism, if an accident occurs in the research process of the research institute, the director of the institute has the right to be exempted from liability to a certain extent. After all, scientific research work is different from other work. The cause of many accidents is not a mechanism problem, but some unknown reactions.
"If you want to hold someone responsible, I am also responsible. I have been pushing him too hard recently, so Tom is getting anxious. But I have a reason to push him. If the new aircraft engine is put into production, our transport plane will be able to transport 30 people at a time, or nearly a ton of supplies. When fully loaded, the aircraft's range will exceed 2,000 kilometers, which is a huge improvement compared to our current transport planes, equivalent to a quarter increase in all data." Long Chengyuan was more like showing off than admitting his mistakes.
"Humph... So, am I also responsible? If I hadn't pushed him too hard, this wouldn't have happened." Qin Zhiyuan was not happy.
"That's about it..." Long Chengyuan didn't shy away from it at all.
"Okay, it's not too late to hold someone responsible for this matter after the investigation results come out. The current task is to deal with the aftermath. The Prime Minister went to the institute last night. Your Majesty, are you going?" Misha took a small notebook and prepared to record Qin Zhiyuan's itinerary.
"Go!" Qin Zhiyuan affirmed.
There was a sudden knock at the door, and then Geraldine and Heyman pushed the door open.
"Father, I am already over 1.6 meters tall. Can I go to work?" Haiman, who has passed the voice change period, looked expectant.
"Dad, I want to work too. I want to be your secretary like Misha." The 12-year-old Girard is about 1.5 meters tall, which is an absolute "big guy" in this era.
Is he already this big?
Qin Zhiyuan felt a little dazed.
