Chapter 800 Big Investment
Liu Hai was busy again. The internal system of the 001 teaching building had entered the final stage. Of course, these were all simulation systems.
Sometimes when Liu Hai walked in the 001 teaching building, he could not tell whether he was in the aircraft carrier space.
Of course, the internal facilities were still very different, but the entire structure was almost exactly the same.
The only difference was that one was made of pure steel and the other was made of reinforced concrete. There was a little difference.
Designing a system was not a very complicated thing. The key was the installation and testing of the system.
A fire protection system was tested back and forth several times.
Sometimes I didn't know what went wrong at all. Sometimes it was just a problem with a smoke alarm (invented as early as 1940, and the photoelectric smoke alarm was patented in 1972), which resulted in a large-scale investigation of various lines, etc.
The weak current part was really a headache for the people who worked on it.
The same was true for the strong current. After all, there were so many lines in the entire 001 teaching building and how many devices had to be provided. Sometimes just a socket problem would keep a group of electricians busy for a long time.
There were also ventilation systems, temperature systems, and so on.
Liu Hai could copy when designing, but there was no place to copy when it came to installing and debugging the system.
The current system is all powered by external power, and as for the power compartment, it is now empty.
"Xiao Liu, your power compartment doesn't seem to be traditional power, right?" Sun Aiguo looked at the layout of the power compartment.
"My idea is nuclear power, but I don't have much research in this area." Liu Hai said.
So far, the greatest and most outstanding invention of mankind is boiling water.
Nuclear power generation is actually boiling water, transferring the heat of the nuclear reaction to the coolant, usually water, and then using high-temperature and high-pressure steam to drive mechanical equipment or power generation equipment.
"What about the catapult?" Sun Aiguo certainly knew that this teaching building used a catapult, because the entire design plywood was flat, not a ski-jump deck.
"This is also a very high technical difficulty. I personally prefer electromagnetic catapults, but I am learning about this aspect." Liu Hai said that learning was learning on an aircraft carrier in the aircraft carrier space.
"Electromagnetic catapult!" Sun Aiguo repeated the four words, but didn't know how to say it, because he didn't know much about this aspect.
"Strictly speaking, this teaching building is still a semi-finished product. First of all, there is no power system, and then there is no catapult system." Liu Hai and Sun Aiguo walked in the teaching building and saw various signs everywhere.
The internal signs are also a kind of knowledge, which can make people quickly distinguish the direction of where they want to go.
"Having a semi-finished product is enough."
"But I heard that the technical difficulty of aircraft carriers is too high. First of all, it is the steel of the aircraft carrier itself, and then there are arresting cables?"
"The most important thing is that the aircraft carrier itself does not have too high defense, so a matching fleet is still needed."
"We have always been short in the navy. Although we have caught up a lot in recent years, there is still a big gap with advanced countries." Sun Aiguo certainly knows how difficult it is to make an aircraft carrier fleet successful.
"Yes, there are too many problems to be solved." Liu Hai nodded.
But now it is much better than in history. At least there are relevant technologies. After all, our shipbuilding industry is much better than the small book. Of course, the small book is mainly the shipbuilding industry transferred by the bald eagle.
However, Xiaobenzi only makes two hard-earned money, because Niuniu controls the pricing power of upstream materials, especially the metal ore industry.
The iron ore in places like Australia and Brazil is basically monopolized by Niuniu.
However, Xiaobenzi imports a lot of iron ore from Feixiong, mainly for trade exchanges between the two sides.
Feixiong has a large reserve of iron ore, accounting for 1/3 of the world, but the mining cost there is too high.
It’s not that his iron ore is buried very deep, most of it is open-pit mines, but it is frozen most of the year.
In such a place, not to mention mining ore or building infrastructure, it is too difficult. In winter, you may run on the road casually, but in summer, it will become a muddy land.
So although Feixiong exports a lot of iron ore, the price he pays is also very high, basically losing money to make a profit.
Especially the gas turbine technology that Niuniu transferred to us in the early days.
Now the navy has equipped a certain number of 053 and is launching 054. Of course, the current modernization level is not as high as that of the historical 054.
After all, the time gap between construction and service is too large.
As for 055, Liu Hai thinks it is probably already in the design stage, because this is also the route we have always taken.
"I don't know how long it will take us to build our own aircraft carrier!" Sun Aiguo let out a long breath and said.
"It's hard to say." Liu Hai really can't say it. As for the aircraft carrier, because in a few years, Fat Bear will be gone, and there will be too many idle aircraft carriers in the world.
Let's not talk about how many aircraft carriers Fat Bear can build. Niu Niu had 4 aircraft carrier fleets before Fat Bear was gone, and Gaul Chicken still had 4, which is much more than in history.
Once Fat Bear is gone, Niu Niu and Gaul Chicken's aircraft carriers will definitely be sold off.
So at that time, there will probably be several aircraft carriers on the market for sale.
Of course, they may also be sealed, so Liu Hai has to wait and see the situation before speaking.
The 001 teaching building is very large, and construction workers can be seen everywhere inside. The construction workers wear different clothes and different hats, which represent the systems under construction.
Some clothes have fire and weak current written on them.
Some have ventilation written on them.
Some clothes have water supply written on them.
The entire 001 teaching building is equivalent to an independent environment for thousands of people to live in, and all kinds of supporting facilities inside must be perfect.
Eating, drinking, defecating, various combat readiness duty, combat missions, maintenance and so on.
With this teaching building, officers and soldiers can get familiar with life here in advance.
"What do you think of disarmament?" Sun Aiguo asked again.
"I have no opinion on this. Future wars will be high-tech, and the role that people can play will be reduced. Besides, we can easily settle the current 1 million people." Liu Hai said.
"The superiors plan to carry out large-scale agricultural reclamation and water conservancy in the northwest. We have too few people there." Sun Aiguo said.
"This is a good thing." Liu Hai knew that when he traveled through time, we were still migrating people to the northwest.
Many people have some misunderstandings about the Northwest. The Northwest is full of deserts and Gobi, but there are also many fertile lands. After all, there are snow-capped mountains all around, and the water from the melted snow-capped mountains is enough to feed many people.
The main reason is that the area of the Northwest is too large. One province is equivalent to the area of the entire Jiangnan region.
It is equivalent to 1/6 of the country's land area, with a border line of nearly 6,000 kilometers, bordering many countries. It will become a strategic core location in the future.
Now my country's industrialization level is not low, and it will be much more convenient to repair water conservancy facilities with various engineering machinery.
"Do you want me to invest in the construction of water conservancy facilities?" Liu Hai decided to push it.
This does not mean that the national level does not have the money, but the national level must weigh which places to give money first and which places to give money later. It cannot be said that all the money will be given to the Northwest, after all, it is just starting to build there.
The whole country is a chess game. It is not possible to focus on supporting one place alone, and other places do not need construction or funds?
Liu Hai's own money is different. He can go wherever he wants.
"This is a good thing." Sun Aiguo certainly knows that Liu Hai is rich now.
Although the investment in Panda Mobile Phone and Panda Computer is huge, the funds are now flowing back, and a lot of patent fees have been collected.
The DC10 aircraft produced by Heshun Airlines is still banned from flying by bald eagles for safety reasons, but it is still allowed to fly in Europe and other places.
So there are many orders for aircraft. Although the price of DC10 aircraft is the same as that of foreign aircraft on the surface, there are many preferential terms, such as free maintenance for two engines when the engine life is over.
Two engines are so much, and there are also discounts on parts.
The price of the whole aircraft is about the same, but the subsequent maintenance is 1/3 lower than that of DC10.
The key is that DC10 is very popular internationally as a cargo aircraft.
DC10 aircraft are called mad dogs in the cargo industry because they can carry more and run faster.
So Heshun Airlines has also started to make a profit.
But the bulk of Liu Hai's income is still overseas entertainment, film and television novels.
In the past two years, Liu Hai's income has visibly expanded.
"Then I will temporarily invest 1 billion US dollars!"
"So much money?"
"Do you want to consider the construction of the Three Gorges Dam?"
"Is it going to be built?"
"The higher authorities have already made this plan. On the one hand, there is funding, and on the other hand, there are many places that need to be relocated, which will cost a lot of money, and on the other hand, there are construction costs."
"After the Three Gorges Dam is built, 10,000-ton cargo ships can go directly to the southwest."
"In fact, some water conservancy experts have an idea that I think is crazy, which is the Red Flag Canal plan, which is to bring the water of the Yarlung Zangbo River into the northwest."
Liu Hai was also stunned when he heard about this plan, because he seemed to have heard of this plan in his previous life, but later because the original route of the Red Flag Canal was on the earthquake zone.
In addition, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River and the Yellow River are relatively short of water, so it is a bit difficult to think about taking this route.
Because the Red Flag Canal plan is to follow the Hengduan Mountains, then take a big detour to the desert in the northwest, this route will pass through several tributaries of the Yangtze River.
Later, the water consumption in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River will be very large. If we build a dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River, the third boss will be very angry.
In fact, the third boss himself is not very honest.
Doesn't the Ganges enter the sea from Bangladesh? The third boss built a dam before the Ganges enters Bangladesh.
He diverted a lot of water to his own Bangladesh. He intercepted other people's water there and opposed us building a dam upstream. It's quite shameless.
"When can you show me the plan?" I am very interested in this bangs.
Because the third boss in this time and space is now the grandson.
When the fat bear is gone, maybe the shameless bald eagle will support him again.
So it's still worthwhile to make this plan now, at least build the dam on the Yarlung Zangbo River first.
"I'll show you the plan later."
"In addition, the water conservancy experts also have a South-to-North Water Diversion Project, mainly because our north is short of water." Sun Aiguo said again.
Liu Hai knew that this project was divided into the West Line, the Middle Line, and the East Line.
The east line is almost ready, because the Grand Canal has been opened.
The middle line needs to build a reservoir, which may not have started yet.
The west line had not started when Liu Hai crossed it. It mainly diverted the water from the Jinsha River and the Yalong River into the Yellow River, which actually involves the development of the lower reaches of the two rivers.
"Let's take a look at it together. My various investments over the years have gradually paid off."
Liu Hai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the investment of Fenghuo Technology Company is still huge, it can at least recover its losses, and it looks like the recovery is very strong.
Only Motorola's mobile phones sold more than 200,000 units, and its computers sold 40,000 units.
As for Europe, it is even more, with mobile phone sales exceeding 500,000 units and computer sales exceeding 100,000 units.
The mobile phones sold by American Communications in North America have also exceeded 200,000 units.
The sales of mobile phones by the end of this year can exceed 1 million units.
Of course, this number is not much compared to 2020.
But this was in 1985, and the price of mobile phones now is more than 2,000 US dollars.
How much is an Apple phone in 2020?
"Your income is higher than that of many countries." Sun Aiguo laughed.
"Hehe!" Liu Hai laughed.
There is no way, especially in the field of entertainment and games, it is the winner who takes all.
"I will see if there are any big projects to introduce to you later."
"No problem, the more highways, the better."
"The more reservoirs and hydropower stations, the better."
"If it doesn't work, I will set up a company to reclaim land in the northwest."
"That's what you said."
"I said it." Liu Hai set up a big company to reclaim land. He will not plant it himself, but just invest in reclamation, repair all the water conservancy facilities, and then contract it out to others.
If it doesn't work, can you plant fruit trees yourself? The fruits there taste especially good because of the long sunshine and large temperature difference between day and night.
The fruits produced will be directly exported at that time.
When Liu Hai traveled through time, he knew that the northwest was the largest tomato sauce production base.
On the one hand, a large amount of funds can be used, and on the other hand, a long-term return can be obtained.
There is not much meaning in keeping the money there, it is meaningful only when it is used.
Besides, these projects require large investments but slow results, which is just right for me.
"I didn't expect that I could solve so many problems by hanging out with you today." Sun Aiguo's eyes are no longer limited to his own factory.
"As long as I have money, I can invest it. Anyway, in a few months, this year's income will be credited to my account again." Liu Hai is eager for more such big projects.
Moreover, it is a good thing that these big projects invest more money and benefit the relocated farmers more. After all, the meat is rotten in the pot, and it is nothing more than a 10% or 20% budget increase for a project.
We men have money!
"I'm afraid it's not easy to study the electromagnetic catapult, right?"
"Everything is done by people, but now my main focus is on C101. Let's get this project done first. It doesn't feel good to always produce other people's aircraft." Liu Hai laughed. He has ready-made things, instructions, and physical objects. Besides, there are some great people in our country. Maybe I can make a rough idea, and these great people will come to make it.
So now I have to think about how to write it into a plan while studying. The main thing is that some things have answers, but I have to write them in a guessing mode, which consumes more brain cells.
