Chapter 2735

The Golden Year of Building 9 Departments

Chapter 2735 The Golden Decade of Building the Nine Departments
in the office.

Yang Xiaotao leaned back leisurely in his chair, rubbing his eyes from time to time, and then comfortably stretched his back to make himself even more comfortable.

If there were a bed in this office, he would definitely choose to lie down on it instead of sitting here.

Across from him, Li Hongfeng looked at the white paper in his hand. It wasn't thick, only about ten pages, but his expression was extremely solemn.

This is the final draft, the white paper, produced by Yang Xiaotao.

However, it is only a framework white paper. There are other supplementary documents to explain how to operate specific projects.

But that's a matter for the future.

Even so, this white paper also represents the development direction of their Ninth Ministry of Machine Building in the new era.

It can be said that this is a lighthouse, a lighthouse that guides the nine forward.

Its importance cannot be overstated.

Open the first page, and you'll see a table of contents written in pen.

If you only look at the characters, you'll think they're very beautiful. At the very least, no one in the nine departments can surpass Yang Xiaotao's handwriting.

After looking at the table of contents, Li Hongfeng felt a headache coming on.

The purpose of the table of contents is, of course, to clearly explain the content structure of the book.

And on the table of contents in front of us, apart from an introduction at the top, there were actually ten items listed below.

From one to ten in capital letters, a full ten.

This means that there are ten items in this white paper.

Their nine departments will have ten research projects and ten development directions going forward.

After understanding the meaning of the catalog, Li Hongfeng immediately lowered his head and rubbed his eyes.

His opinion was similar to that of the outside world; they all felt that in this new era, with the strength of the Ninth Department, there would definitely be more key projects.

However, he only thought there would be three or four. But when he was chatting with Liu Huaimin, Chen Gong, and Lao Hong, Wang Guodong, who was the most imaginative, shouted out six, which left them speechless.

After all, this is not a simple addition problem.

Each additional one poses a greater challenge to the Nine Departments.

This also means a significant increase in risk.

You must understand that if you go in the wrong direction, it can be fatal.

The Nine Departments will also fall because of this.

But who would have thought that after this came out, there was something even more speechless.

He was so speechless he wanted to slam his fist on the table.

Ten.

This is not one against ten.

Behind each of these are hundreds or even thousands of factories and workers.

this.
Li Hongfeng slowly raised his head and looked at Yang Xiaotao.

Seeing the exhaustion on Yang Xiaotao's face, he swallowed back what he was saying and continued flipping through the white paper.

The first project is the machine tool industry.

Upon closer inspection, it was found that the person in charge was Chang Mingjie, the main personnel were still from the machine tool research institute, and the production was carried out by the machine tool manufacturing plant.

Research focus: CNC machine tools.

The research period is three years, and mass production of CNC machine tools will be achieved within that timeframe.

It's nothing, just like before.

Li Hongfeng nodded; this was considered composed.

The second project is computer research.

Seeing this, Li Hongfeng felt more relaxed. It seemed that Yang Xiaotao hadn't changed the previous project, which was good.

The personnel were still the computer research institute led by Han Sanfeng, with the assistance of calculators, high-purity silicon workshops, etc.

This is the same as expected.

Li Hongfeng scratched his head after just one glance at the research direction.

He's a complete novice when it comes to computers. He's learned a little over the years, but he only knows the name "computer" and what it's used for.

He was completely stumped if he picked any one of the terms in there.

Just like the research directions Yang Xiaotao gave, such as desktop computers and '8-bit microcontrollers', followed by a bunch of explanations, he only glanced at the five thousand transistors and his head was already spinning.

The research period is also specified, with a target completion time of three years.

Three years! This task is very demanding.

However, he didn't know what it was; perhaps Yang Xiaotao and Han Sanfeng had made an agreement about it beforehand.

He didn't want to say anything, so he simply turned the page.

The third project is the research of new drugs.

Sure enough, it really is true.

This can be considered chemical engineering.

The personnel remained the same, still Zhu Ziqing's group. The supporting units were the chemical plant and the pharmaceutical factory, and now the Ninth People's Hospital was added.

No objection.

As for the research direction, Li Hongfeng took a serious look and decided on azithromycin.

A macrolide antibiotic?

What is this?
Why hasn't he heard of it?

Well, maybe I'm just ignorant.

Li Hongfeng has become more Zen-like now, since he doesn't really know much and doesn't need to know everything.

But is Yang Xiaotao's decision reliable?
This is a new drug.

Is it possible to research it?
The research lasted ten years!
Holy crap, this is truly an era.

Well, he can't make that decision.

And if it can actually be made, then it will be like cephalosporins, a treasure trove, a goose that lays golden eggs.

Moreover, it will make a tremendous contribution to revolutionary construction.

There's no way to argue with that.

Li Hongfeng continued flipping down, this time moving exceptionally slowly.

The first three are all continuations of the previous ones. Although there are new development goals, the overall framework is not beyond expectations.

But what happens next is hard to say.

The fourth project is a new type of aero-engine.

Call ~
Li Hongfeng let out a soft breath, his heart calm and composed.

After all, this can be considered a kind of continuation.

This is also within the reasonable range of what everyone guessed.

After all, aircraft engine technology is their trump card.

To date, apart from nine factories in China that are capable of producing qualified turbojet engines, no other factories have been heard of making them.

The Ninth Division is also the largest engine manufacturer and supplier.

Of course, that multi-cylinder diesel engine is also unique.

For this reason, the Ninth Division was considered one of their own by the three armies.

If anyone tries to cause trouble, these three companies will probably be the first to step forward and make their presence felt.

The researchers are still from the institute led by Wu Zhe.

As for his research direction, Li Hongfeng rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Turbofan engine, also known as turbofan engine.

Li Hongfeng examined the 'fan' and 'spray' carefully.

I'm sure I'm not mistaken, this isn't a turbojet engine, it's a newly developed turbofan engine.

Can.
What is this thing again?

Okay, this is something new.

Li Hongfeng was speechless.

I glanced at the development timeline casually; it was three years.

This timeframe is short and within an acceptable range.

As for the engine's function and benefits, the report didn't mention it, and he didn't ask.

If asked, Yang Xiaotao probably wouldn't know even if he explained.

It's basically a new type of engine.

Relieved, Li Hongfeng immediately turned to the next page.

The fifth project is the research on magnesium alloys.

The person in charge is An Zhongsheng, the main contractor is the Alloy Research Institute, and the auxiliary factory is the steel plant.

As you can tell from the name, this is about researching a new type of alloy.

Magnesium alloy?
It's something new again.

However, in alloy research, the Ninth Department has indeed taken the lead, and has also cooperated with several external departments.

They might even offer assistance later on.

The emergence of magnesium alloys will add another member to the alloy family of the Ninth Division.

good thing.

The research period is one year.

It doesn't seem too difficult.

The sixth project is a study on improving photocopiers. This has actually become a project?
Does this mean that Yang Xiaotao values ​​this project that much?
Is it more important than any calculator?
Can't figure it out.

Li Hongfeng glanced at Yang Xiaotao again and found that the other man was leaning back in his chair, his eyelids drooping, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

I thought to myself, he must have stayed up a lot of nights these past three days.

Each of these projects must have been carefully considered and put into practice.

Not easy.

Little did he know, Yang Xiaotao already knew exactly what kind of project it was.

It was precisely because they were confident that they dared to act so swiftly.

As for why I'm so sleepy right now, it's all because of my wife last night.

Yang Xiaotao was not one to back down, so the two of them did another seven-star alignment.

Yang Xiaotao even suspected that his wife might want twins again.

Li Hongfeng was unaware of Yang Xiaotao's experience last night and felt a pang of sympathy for Yang Xiaotao's hardships.

Then, when I looked at the white paper, I paid extra attention.

Research areas: miniaturized copiers and color copiers.

The research period lasted three years.

Is this a bit long? After all, modern photocopiers are pretty good.

The seventh project is a communications satellite.

The person in charge is Wang Can.

The eighth item: satellite phone.

The person in charge is Shu Xingbei.

The two projects are only on one page, with limited details, perhaps because they complement each other, and both have a timeframe of three years.

Moreover, both of their research focuses on continuous research and constant improvement.

As for the later part about building a satellite network, with one or two satellites launched every year, Li Hongfeng found it somewhat daunting.

This one alone cost a fortune.

One a year, how much would that cost?

Grit your teeth and keep watching.

The main body of the research is the research institute; for other auxiliary work, they will probably have to find outside help.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Seventh Ministry of Machinery Industry are all things to be discussed later.

Li Hongfeng found it surprising, yet it also made sense.

After all, this can be considered one of the original industries of their Ninth Division.

The research period lasted ten years.

Okay, another project from the era.

Li Hongfeng casually placed it on the second to last page.

The ninth project is the lithium battery project.

Lithium batteries?
Oh, right, the research institute does have this project.

By the way, it seems that Zhu Ziqing is the person in charge of the research, but isn't Zhu Ziqing in charge of the new drug azithromycin?
Li Hongfeng quickly read on.

Sure enough, the person in charge changed; it became Wang Guangmei.

He knew this Comrade Wang Guangmei and they met frequently.

After all, they are the heroes who made the synthetic insulin. Even if they do nothing else in their lives, the insulin produced by industrialization alone is enough to support the Ninth Department.

Moreover, the injection equipment they developed directly doubled the export sales of insulin.

This is the second most profitable pharmaceutical product.

More than oral liquid and disinfectant.

Second only to Imperial Jade Liquor.

After all, this medicinal wine with strong side effects is meant for men.

Especially for those accomplished older men, there is an even greater need to prove that they are still as sharp as ever.

Therefore, even though the price of this medicinal wine remains high, there are still people who are enthusiastic about it.

Last year, he heard Li Rong say that the revenue from medicinal wine alone exceeded the domestic budget for the Air Force.

This is why the French have always wanted to uncover the secret recipe.

This also explains why pharmaceutical companies have increased the number of Chinese medicinal herbs they use for adulteration from more than ten to dozens.

That's getting off-topic, but right now, Wang Guangmei and the others want to find something to do, which is a good thing for the Ninth Division.

As for lithium batteries...
Li Hongfeng glanced at Yang Xiaotao again and suddenly realized that this might be a temporary arrangement for Wang Guangmei and the others.

After all, it's not a big deal if this thing is made well, or if it can't be made.

Based on the money they earned for the Nine Departments, it wouldn't be enough to support research, let alone support it for a lifetime.

Look at the time, three years.

Not too long, not too short, just right.

Li Hongfeng breathed a sigh of relief. At least so far, the projects in this white paper were convincing to him, and although there were some risks, they were not uncontrollable.

As for the last project, the pager project, Li Hongfeng felt it was probably similar to the lithium battery project—just a way to appease people.
Before he could even think it through, his hand had already flipped to the last page, and then his brain went blank.

Because he saw a name.

Yang Xiaotao!
I go! ! !

The tenth project is the development of pagers.

The person in charge is Yang Xiaotao.

The main research unit is the Satellite Telephone Research Institute, and some of its members.

Auxiliary units, related radio stations.

Research focus: Research and development in the field of pagers.

The research period lasted two years.

woohoo~~
Li Hongfeng calmed himself down, then looked at the last page with only a few words of information, his mind filled with questions.

What is this pager?
He'd never heard of it.

The key point is that Yang Xiaotao actually took charge of the research and development work himself.

This is absolutely rare.

Moreover, isn't Yang Xiaotao in charge of machine tool design?

Why did I jump here again?
Li Hongfeng was somewhat confused.

Just then, Yang Xiaotao stretched and looked at Li Hongfeng.

Seeing that Li Hongfeng's gaze was fixed on the last page, since it was the page he was personally in charge of, he didn't write much more.

Anyway, all the production methods are in my head.

Even the most needed core component of a pager, an 8-bit microprocessor, can be made by Yang Xiaotao.

At the very least, they're not bad at technical skills.

The reason for handing it over to the computer research institute is to allow them to accumulate more experience.

This is also the source of his confidence to give a year to complete the task.

Of course, in this white paper, it seems that only the first and tenth projects are related to Yang Xiaotao, but in reality, except for the photocopier, he is involved in all the other projects. It's just that others are unaware of this relationship.

For example, the turbofan engine project has ready-made blueprints in the space, and even the design drawings of the F-15 are there. Once the engine is made, Yang Xiaotao will start the subsequent aircraft manufacturing.

Of course, if they actually manage to build the engine, I bet Mr. Peng and his team will come looking for them.

For other azithromycins, there are readily available instructions, including molecular formula, molecular weight, and even molecular structure.

If this were to be made, it would be an epoch-making drug.

The earlier it is completed, the greater its significance.

Yang Xiaotao has also been involved in satellites, satellite phones, and other related projects, and he is able to grasp the major development directions.

Overall, Yang Xiaotao's white paper cannot be said to be entirely reliable.

But Yang Xiaotao is absolutely confident about half of these projects.

As the saying goes, I may not be able to win for a while, but I won't lose either.

Of these ten projects, as long as one project succeeds each year, the nine departments will continue to develop.

This will leave other departments behind.

Over time, those who come later, in order to catch up with the nine groups, will take to these ten roads and start running.

That will be the time when the status of the Nine Departments is confirmed.

Ten years is not a long time, but it is a crucial period for current development.

Just like the Japanese islands across the way, didn't they also develop thanks to the golden age of the 1960s?

Why can they do it?
A small island with a small population is fine.

Then why couldn't the 1970s have been the golden age of China?

Even if this is only the golden age of the nine parts, it is enough!

This is the purpose of Yang Xiaotao's white paper.

He wants to use this white paper to explore ten paths and find shortcuts to development.

This is also Yang Xiaotao's ambition.

My greatest ambition after being transported to this world.

This is also the greatest significance of his existence, having traveled through time and emerged from the courtyard house.

After ten years of dedicated work, I look up again and see all the mountains below me!
