Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

The war on the peninsula, deliberately condoned by external forces, had a tortuous course that was beyond everyone's expectations. No one had expected that the University of Tokyo would miraculously become the final winner. In the battlefield filled with smoke, the University of Tokyo not only won, but also won beautifully. Every battle was fought to the fullest, showing extraordinary military wisdom and combat effectiveness.

Although this war was not what the University of Tokyo wanted and it was a catastrophe in which it was passively involved, history, in its own unique way, gave the University of Tokyo an opportunity to rewrite its destiny.

Finally, when the smoke of war gradually dissipated and the dawn of victory illuminated the entire peninsula, the University of Tokyo solemnly signed the armistice agreement as a victor.

This victory was not only far less costly than other possible options, but also had brilliant results, winning unprecedented glory and respect for the University of Tokyo.

On the battlefield, Dongda proved itself to be the true king of the land and air of the Blue Planet with its undisputed strength. The J-5A in the sky and the latest Dragon tank on the ground frightened the enemy and won dignity for its country and nation.

Outside the battlefield, the University of the East seized this rare historical opportunity and did not let victory remain at the military level. They took advantage of the changes in the international situation brought about by the war and actively sought cooperation and exchanges with the world powers on relatively equal terms, successfully opened up trade channels, and injected new vitality into the country's economic development. This move not only promoted the economic prosperity of the University of the East, but also laid a solid foundation for its future international status.

This unprecedented opportunity of international easing directly opened up space for Dongda’s foreign trade.

Thanks to Ren Zhong's purchasing and the advantages in chemical fiber industrial materials, the clothing industry, which took the lead, gained a reputation for high quality and low prices in the international clothing market after the war, and became the undisputed largest industry in domestic and foreign trade. Due to the early guidance of the industry, enough room for development was left for private capital in the early stage. Through nearly ten years of development, this industry has attracted tens of millions of workers to join the clothing industry.

The second largest export industry is the somewhat unexpected food industry. In this regard, Ren Zhong also went to the main world to purchase goods frequently. For example, the instant noodles patent layout he completed first has firmly controlled the world's instant food market and created two major product markets for the domestic food industry: instant noodles and instant vermicelli. Thanks to his strong promotion, the core patents for instant noodles were authorized to three different mixed-capital food companies, creating three food leaders of different grades and styles, and finding a path for deep-processing imported wheat products for re-export, making money in and out and forming a demonstration effect.

This was a pleasant surprise for those who had been worried that imported wheat would impact the domestic grain market.

However, the food industry is more than that. The use of fruit processing to produce fruit juices and canned products with a variety of flavors, and wafer biscuit products with diverse tastes have formed the three major industries of the food industry, which have also attracted a large number of working people. The formation of these two labor-intensive industries has not only immediately solved a large part of the domestic employment problem, but also greatly improved the balance of payments in international trade.

Since the technology is purchased from the main world, the main world's original expenditure on introducing technology, which was spent heavily in the 1980s, is now almost gone. This way, Ren Zhong can calmly plan and adjust the layout of new industries in the country.

The current domestic fertilizer production capacity has not yet been released. Faced with the major issue of food supply, even if the channels for international imports are opened up, Ren Zhong still hopes that the country can be self-sufficient and cannot pin its hopes on others.

Therefore, the import of fertilizers is a priority, followed by large-scale imports of fertilizer plant equipment. Given the pulse of the current international market, Ren Zhong does not rely on the domestic young people's fooling around, which often causes a sharp rise in price as soon as one buys, and a sharp fall in price as soon as one sells one's own products.

In addition to technical experts, there are also many business talents who are proficient in international trade. Through their international trading companies, they have formed a fairly stable market channel with smooth information flow. In this way, they have their own people to help them in purchasing and sales, and they can bargain hard against the foreigners until they are convinced!
Taking advantage of very favorable prices, we have rapidly developed our urgently needed chemical, metallurgical, mechanical and energy industrial infrastructure in a leapfrog manner, with the rate of growth doubling year by year.

Especially the steel industry, which is still a core industrial category in this time and space. The strength of a country depends on the total volume of the steel industry. Although we have many high-end technologies for special steels, we are still lacking in basic steel materials and processing technology.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to import large quantities of various metal mineral products domestically, several new super-large steel enterprises were built directly along the coast. The birth of these super-large steel enterprises that use imported iron ore and coal to produce steel has driven the rapid development of the steel industry.

The steel industry in Dongda, which was supposed to take off in the 50s, was brought forward and exploded in the s.

With the advanced steelmaking technology and process flow that Ren Zhong purchased from the main world, and the huge development opportunities of foreign trade after opening up the international market, we can import large quantities of ordinary steelmaking equipment to quickly form new production capacity.

After the Peninsula War, we opened up the market and entered the global market, especially the iron ore market which is far from taking off. This time, by spreading the seeds, they also blossomed everywhere in various iron ore producing areas, especially in the iron ore-producing country of Kangaroos. Our people, relying on their foresight in smelling resources, quietly controlled at least 50% of their high-quality iron ore mines.

Many mines are small mines that are of no use to the local people, so the seeds we distribute can take over the mining and profit ownership of these mines at a relatively low price.

Among these people, many often control mineral resources that are worth billions or even tens of billions of dollars with just a few million US dollars.

This is equivalent to opening up the kangaroo's iron ore supply source in advance.

Not only that, in several other mining countries with stable political situations, our scattered people are also constantly active, gradually swallowing up their best mines.

Due to the more relaxed international environment than the main world, the foreign exchange resources earned through clothing and food, after a portion was carefully transferred to those seeds to form initial capital, were circulated in various countries around the world and slowly turned into shares of high-quality mining resources.

Some minerals are being mined directly, while others are still in their original, unexplored state. But no matter which one it is, it would be a huge profit to get it now.

Ren Zhong was not worried at all that these countries would default on their debts. After more than ten years of hard work, they could now crush strong opponents like Rogue Eagle on land and in the sky.

Once the navy is formed, the entire Blue Planet will be able to navigate freely. In this case, anyone who wants to default on the debt owed to the people of Dongguo will need to consider whether he is really that stubborn.

On the other hand, the booming foreign trade has brought the domestic shipbuilding industry into its golden age ahead of schedule! Thanks to the early priority given to the development of ro-ro ships, ultra-large ro-ro ships ranging from 3000 tons to 50000 tons have now been successfully developed!
Since we took over the Dalyan Shipyard, we have successfully developed 10,000-ton Ro-Ro ships, 30,000-ton Ro-Ro ships, and 50,000-ton Ro-Ro ships. Our own one-stop maritime transportation industry has made the maritime transportation of our bulk primary goods increasingly cheaper.

The rapidly expanding transport fleet has stimulated the explosive development of our shipbuilding industry. In the past few years, a new shipbuilding system has been formed, covering the entire coastline, from Dalian Shipyard to Tianjin Shipyard, Daocheng Shipyard, Jiangnan Shipyard, Mawei Shipyard, and Wuyang Shipyard.

Through the mixed capital model, we have invested in the construction of more than 60 large slipways of 100 tons and above and more than 170 ordinary slipways. We have now developed more than two million shipbuilding workers, and more than merchant ships are launched each year, with a total tonnage of up to two million tons!
This shipbuilding scale is already the world's largest in terms of commercial ship launching in the world of Bright Sword!

From the capture of Dalian, it took less than eight years for the shipbuilding industry in Dongda to develop rapidly. It coincided with the golden age of domestic and foreign shipping, and directly snatched the limelight of the Japanese devils in the shipbuilding industry in the original time and space! In one fell swoop, it achieved the core position of the world's shipbuilding industry.

It not only meets the huge demand for domestic and foreign trade transportation, but also becomes the third largest foreign trade industry that makes money.

The Chinese forces that were supported and established earlier to develop shipping overseas now have their own shipbuilding industry. Now they basically choose 3000-5000-ton Dawn-class roll-on/roll-off transport ships and 6000-9000-ton Hope-class roll-on/roll-off transport ships for shipping within continents.

The main transport ships for crossing continents are 10000-30000 ton long-distance roll-on/roll-off ships.

The 50000-ton Neptune-class roll-on/roll-off ship is specially customized for the transportation of ore, coal, etc., and is equipped with convenient ore-specific conveyor belts and crane devices.

Since these three series use similar power structure and ship structure design, large-scale modular production is achieved, which greatly reduces product costs and risks. There are almost no competitors for similar products in the international shipbuilding industry.

In addition, the design of container ships has been patented in several major countries. In the future, in the field of container transportation, these three series of products will basically be the main ones.

In this way, the Dawn-class, Hope-class and Far-reaching-class ships not only supported the needs of Dongda's newly developed trade, but also provided a successful demonstration for new shipping merchants who saw the huge potential in the shipping market, and created a de facto standard for these shipping merchants to choose roll-on/roll-off transportation.

It has greatly enhanced the international status and market competitiveness of Dongda's shipbuilding industry.

After all, the use of standardized ro-ro vessels and containers pioneered by Dalyan has made a huge contribution to saving freight transit time for international bulk cargo.

You have to know that timeliness in sea transportation is money. With this kind of container, bulk cargo can be sorted into the container in advance, so that when transporting, the container can be directly placed on the trailer by car or train.

Then it is transported to the port and quickly lifted onto the ship by the port's lifting facilities. This can greatly reduce the loading time that may have taken more than ten days or even a month to just one or two days!

For time-sensitive goods, this is undoubtedly a huge time-saver.

Even for products that are not time-sensitive, this mode of transportation saves a lot of transshipment and cargo turnover costs.

With the help of the booming shipbuilding industry technology accumulation, our shipbuilding industry has not only trained millions of shipbuilding workers, but also thousands of shipbuilding engineers.

Relatively speaking, the maturity of this group of shipbuilding workers has also had a very positive impact on our warship production. The original annual production capacity of Jianghai-class destroyers was planned to be 4 ships. After the rapid development of the shipbuilding industry, the shipbuilding plan was suddenly expanded to 12 ships a year!
With so many shipbuilding slipways now, after the task of building 12 Jianghai-class destroyers is assigned, two ships a year will be no pressure at all for the six major shipyards in China!
Therefore, the construction of the first 6000-ton Luhai-class destroyer began in Dalyan. As of today, the main hull and power subsystems have been completed, and preparations for sea trials have begun!
The Luhai-class destroyer is basically based on the Type 052C missile destroyer as its prototype and target. It has a full load displacement of 6800 tons, a total length of 155.5 meters, a total width of 17.2 meters, and a draft of 6 meters. These indicators have not changed much.

However, in terms of the power subsystem, the old steam turbine system is still used. The prototype technology comes from the 12 horsepower Parsons steam turbine used on the Enterprise aircraft carrier.

After several years of research, the marine power research and technical team of the Liming Research Institute not only restored a 12-horsepower Parsons steam turbine sample on a one-to-one basis, but also fully verified that the technology they purchased was genuine and effective.

However, this prototype has not yet been used at sea, so the offshore power research team converted it into a land-based steam generator unit.

Having thoroughly understood the steam turbine technology, the team reduced the power and developed two series of small and medium-sized steam turbine products, 3 horsepower and 5 horsepower respectively.

The Luhai-class destroyer is driven by two 7-horsepower steam turbines. Its main feature is its powerful flying ability, with a maximum speed of over 35 knots!
By the standards of the 50s, this power and tonnage were very good for a destroyer.

Moreover, this destroyer will be equipped with a 351-type three-coordinate marine radar search system, a 32-unit air defense Haihongqi-1 and 8-unit Yingji-1 anti-ship missiles, which will be completed soon, and have strong air defense and anti-ship capabilities. Once it appears in this era with full blood, it will be a bug-like existence, allowing the Navy of Dongda to truly have the ability to fight in the ocean.

Shipbuilding and navy are about to take off!
