Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 294 New Developments at Dawn Research Institute
A strong navy is a must. This is what Ren Zhong had already planned when he was exchanging technology with Rogue Eagle.

At that time, he forced Rogue Eagle to give a complete set of steam turbine technology, including materials and manufacturing process design, as well as key manufacturing equipment. Now these things have been traded to Jin Province, and preliminary technical research and digestion and absorption have begun. Among them, research on materials has been listed as the top priority by Ren Zhong, and divided into various material research teams, all of which are going all out to absorb the better technology brought by Ren Zhong from the main world as a replacement.

You should know that this steam turbine is the 12 horsepower Parsons steam turbine used on the Enterprise aircraft carrier. Once this steam turbine is fully understood, the technology of thermal power generation will advance by leaps and bounds.

Of course, such a huge steam turbine may not be needed now. The first destroyer to be built was the Charles F. Adams class destroyer in Ren Zhong's mind. This is a type of guided missile destroyer built by the Rogue Eagle Navy between 1958 and 1967. It is also the last destroyer of the Rogue Eagle Navy that uses steam turbines as power.

The standard displacement is 3370 tons, and the full load displacement is 4500 tons; the ship is 133.2 meters long, 14.3 meters wide, and has a draft of 7.3 meters; 4 boilers, 2 steam turbines, and dual-shaft propulsion; the maximum speed is 35 knots, and the endurance is 8000 nautical miles/20 knots; the crew is 354 people.

If placed in the 054st century of the main world, this configuration is certainly not enough, and A can easily beat it!

But if it had been developed before the 50s, it would have been a real killer weapon!
Apart from anything else, the anti-ship missiles could instantly kill the warships that were mainly equipped with cannons at that time.

Although the missile technology is not that advanced now, after the second generation of Dongfeng Express, the propulsion and guidance technology have become increasingly perfect. Once the breakthroughs in infrared guidance, radar guidance and other technologies are achieved, Ren Zhong's new warship will be a new weapon that can have huge destructive power against aircraft carrier formations and battleships of this period.

The aircraft carrier system is too powerful, and Ren Zhong has no confidence in being able to produce it in the short term.

However, destroyers have a large number of early-stage technologies to back them up, such as transistor technology, radar technology, and the transistor computer technology that is being developed in full swing. With these technological breakthroughs, combined with the increasing maturity of Dongfeng Express, missiles will be the real killer in Ren Zhong's hands in the future!

Whether it is in the sky, on the ground, or on the sea, Ren Zhong's missile propulsion plan will undoubtedly realize his plan of making a small investment for a big gain.

However, it is too early to tell Staff Officer Ye about these things. We should wait until we get back Dallion and Lushunkou.

In terms of technical reserves, we can now focus on what we should do. Now that we have brought the technology back to North China, the talents from Beijing and Tianjin have given the Liming Institute a whole new opportunity for development.

The Dawn Research Institute in Peking and the Dawn Research Institute in Tianjin were established shortly after the North China Autonomous Committee and became important first-order institutions. They began to recruit large numbers of people to build new research teams.

Although the scale has expanded and the quality of the people recruited is mixed, and some sand has also infiltrated, Ren Zhong also has a way to isolate each project horizontally to ensure that the tasks of each team are relatively simple and minimize the leakage of secret technologies.

Hu Zi's security team has now expanded to the brigade level. After working with Ren Zhong for so many years, Hu Zi has grown into a real senior security cadre without showing off. Compared with Li Yunlong and his men's life-and-death battles, Hu Zi's work is more about analyzing things.

But they also experienced many thrilling moments, especially several ambushes against Ren Zhong, in which several of Ren Zhong's personal guards were sacrificed!
This was even though Ren Zhong had prepared bulletproof vests for them, they were still killed when they were hit in the head, neck and other important parts of their bodies.

The Japanese, the preserved fruits and the unknown forces now have a better understanding of Ren Zhong.

Even though Ren Zhong rarely shows up in public.

But just as the helmsman of the Dawn Research Institute, Ren Zhong has strong strategic value.

Hu Zi had also been seriously injured twice. After all, at critical moments, these guards really had to act as Ren Zhong’s human shields!
The most dangerous time was when he was under machine gun fire arranged by the enemy. The guards one after another pressed Ren Zhong to the bottom, and only by wrapping Ren Zhong tightly underneath with the guards' bulletproof vests did he escape.

The Dawn Institute is the most intense place in the country for counter-espionage and anti-murder operations.

Hu Zi is growing very fast. Not only has he improved his academic performance with the help of Ren Zhong, but his knowledge is now no less than that of contemporary college students. In terms of his job, Hu Zi has also received personal instruction from the brigade commander and receives very professional training on intelligence work every year.

After years of working on the covert front, Hu Zi is no longer the young man that Ren Zhong first met.

Although only four years have passed and Hu Zi is not yet 4 years old, after working with Ren Zhong, Hu Zi has already acquired the ability and authority to stand on his own.

This is the acquaintance that Ren Zhong trusts the most in this world. Every time a new institution is established at the Dawn Research Institute, Hu Zi is the first gatekeeper for Ren Zhong, followed by the project leaders personally selected by the leaders of each research center.

Under Ren Zhong's leadership, the Liming Institute has become the real Academia Sinica of the Border Region and the Eighth Route Army, and it will remain so in the future. No one can shake this. As the scale grows, Ren Zhong also began to make some changes to the Liming Institute based on the original Academia Sinica structure. Of course, he did not copy it exactly. In terms of the use of talents, he strictly selected the person in charge according to the principle of both talent and virtue.

If someone has talent but no moral integrity, Ren Zhong can be employed here, but he should be put into professional research, otherwise he will be involved in the use of materials and R&D funds.

Talent is scarce in the current situation and there are some shortcomings. Ren Zhong cannot see through the hearts of everyone, so we should nip these signs in the bud as soon as they emerge under supervision.

Use the double insurance of internal transparency mechanism and external supervision to ensure that everyone has little or no chance of making mistakes.

A research team as large as tens of thousands of people now spends billions of dollars.

With a strong population base, the conversion of important military technology to civilian use has also made great progress. Through the production and profits of dual-use military and civilian projects, huge scientific research is now supported. For now, it can still operate well.

Although transistor technology has not yet achieved important technological breakthroughs such as computers, the advent of transistor radios in the civilian field has begun to attract a large amount of funds for transistor technology.

With the help of transistors, smaller and lower-cost radios were made possible, which not only provided Ren Zhong's research team with valuable funds, but also enabled the cheap and popularization of transistor radios, which greatly expanded the front line of the public opinion war that Ren Zhong had planned for Officer Ye and his team.

You should know that in Ren Zhong's main world history, this product would not be available on a large scale until 1954. But now Ren Zhong brought it out nearly ten years ahead of schedule, on the ninth day of the 44th year, and it wiped out most of the market for vacuum tube radios in one fell swoop.

Not only did large-scale sales begin in China, but through Mr. Chen’s overseas channels, Ren Zhong applied for a patent system for transistor radios and successfully registered most of the core technology patents of transistors under the Allied system!

Now it is still the honeymoon period between the two parties and Rogue Eagle. According to Ren Zhong's plan, products related to transistor technology will be gradually launched to occupy the market. The radio is the first product, and then electronic products such as video recorders and movie projection equipment will use transistors.

The first generation of transistor radios, similar products on the market such as crystal radios cost 67 yuan, but Ren Zhong directly priced the transistor radio at 60 yuan.

For export, Ren Zhong's price is US$49.95. After all, foreigners don't have any detailed concept of price. As long as it is less than US$50, it feels like a bargain. This export price and compact body, plus sensitive listening effects and more pleasant speakers.

The Jin Red Light Radio became an instant hit.

Not only did it quickly break through 50 copies in China, it also sold over a million copies overseas!

This radio product alone not only helped Ren Zhong recover all his investment in transistors, but also made him a huge profit!

Ren Zhong, who had tasted the sweetness, created a new type of portable radio in the main world, and soon asked Red Light Radio to produce the second generation of new radio prototypes! According to the production plan, the new portable radio would be sold on a large scale in early 45.

Second generation portable transistor radio

As the new model has unparalleled portability in this era, Ren Zhong set a high domestic price of 99 Yuan and a high overseas sales price of 99 US dollars for this new product.

In order to popularize the use of radios, after the second generation of products came out, Ren Zhong decided to reduce the price of the first generation of products by 11 dollars and continue selling them at 49 dollars and 39.99 US dollars.

According to the new product strategy, when the third generation of transistor radios comes out, the price of the second generation products will be reduced to fill the price space of 59 dollars and 49.95 dollars for the first generation products, and then the price of the first generation products will be further reduced to the new low price of 29 dollars and 29.99 dollars.

Gradually expand the market space for transistor radios to the point of popularization.

Although it is not possible for every household to use it now, the fact that the number of radios in China has exceeded one million is enough for Ren Zhong to plan 24-hour broadcasting for the border area radio station.
