Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

"Hiss, I was a bit hasty in saying that." After hearing what Staff Officer Ye said, Ren Zhong suddenly realized that he had been thinking too simply.

In the current world of Bright Sword, the distribution of forces is very different from that of the main world. The biggest change is that Europe and North America are not completely together.

Because John Bull received strong economic support from the East, he now has the colonies in Black Africa firmly under his control and has gained a lot of benefits and markets from the development of the colonies.

Ding Wei's grain-growing team turned the barren land of Heifei into a granary. More than 100 million mu of hybrid grain fields have been producing high yields, with an annual yield of 700 to 800 kilograms per mu, enough to feed the Heifei now under John Bull's control.

More importantly, Ding Wei's grain-growing team did not consider raising grain prices to destroy the local small tribal agriculture, but helped them to start teaching modern farming techniques based on the plantation demonstration, and repaired water conservancy projects for them to help the tribes near the plantations get rid of poverty and have enough food. In this way, the black African land under John Bull's control was quite stable.

Even though there were many rogue eagles that were trying to gain freedom and autonomy, the local natives had just gotten out and were now focused on reclaiming more fertile land to make a fortune. There were still a lot of undeveloped land in Heifei, and Ding Wei had mechanical equipment to help them build basic infrastructure such as simple roads, ditches and wells.

The lazy tribes can be left to fend for themselves, but the hardworking tribes can now take off with the help of grain-growing teams like Ding Wei.

In addition to the huge profits from mining, the Colonial Bureau has also invested a lot in local infrastructure. At least in terms of road construction, the construction of railways and highways in Heifei is now in full swing, which has really found a place for the infrastructure army of Dongda.

With roads, food and mines, John Bull's overall economy was suddenly pulled upward and became an absolute locomotive in Europe.

Coupled with the take-off of the local aviation industry, and the giants driving the home appliance and electronics industries, John Bull overall not only has the will to lead Europe, but also has considerable strength to speak for itself!

Naturally, he was unwilling to become a subordinate of North America. After all, the total economic output of Europe was not much weaker than that of North America. On the contrary, due to the rapid economic recovery in the world of Bright Sword, the loose former colonial federation led by John Bull was somewhat unworthy of its name in the main world, but in the world of Bright Sword, it actually formed a confederation with a close economic connection and a seamless market, allowing the industrial product market developed in John Bull's world to be at the same level as North America and the East.

Because of this, even though the Rogue Eagles were very unhappy with John Bull's cooperation with Dongda, they had no way to stop it.

Because now the joint cooperation between Eastern Europe and even far exceeds that of North America alone.

Dongda and Oulu even had a tacit understanding to transport light industrial products to Daxiong, one from the east and the other from the west, and occupied most of Daxiong's market.

The entire world of Bright Sword has formed a pattern in which the East and Europe are closely connected economically, the Asian and African markets are penetrated by the big bear, and North America runs through the South and North American markets.

The economic size of the three parties is almost the same. Rogue Eagle still has the largest military force in the world, but in terms of quality, Dongda has emerged as a dark horse and has already gained a huge advantage in the air and a cliff-like lead in strategic peace.

In terms of conventional army, the current synthetic forces also have obvious advantages. Not to mention the high-quality repressive forces such as the Q-9, armed helicopters and the new Type 60 tank, the demonstration forces are also unique in terms of rocket forces. In local areas such as the Asian server, which are right at the doorstep, they can completely form a crushing advantage.

Under such a structure, everyone finally lives in harmony.

If you rashly provoke a dispute, it will be unpleasant for everyone.

Ren Zhong is clear about this situation, but it seems a little too early to choose to break it at this stage.

Long thought.

"Colonel Ye, you are right. The current restrictions do cause many inconveniences, but I still think that this has to be done sooner or later, and we should plan for it now," said Ren Zhong.

"Before the regulation is implemented, our enterprises can limit the export of advanced technologies and products through self-discipline, especially our unique products and technologies. Now we will raise the threshold and reduce the supply. If the production capacity is limited and the market demand cannot be met, we will focus on the internal market and our own products. For example, for high-end chips, we will only export finished products in the future, and the number of chips will be greatly reduced, which will completely raise the price of high-end products."

"Our parallel computers with more than 8 channels must start at US$100 million, and the top configurations cost tens of millions of dollars. We also require that they must be used for civilian purposes and not for military purposes. This requirement can be made clear. Our products will occupy their high-end computer markets such as finance and meteorology."

As Ren Zhong spoke, his thoughts became clearer.

Local control can not only alleviate the backlash from the other party, but also justify the implementation of such control measures in advance. When it is further strengthened in the future, at least the opponent will have some psychological preparation and will not explode all at once and cause mutual losses.

As for high-tech materials like carbon fiber, at this stage, we only export finished products. For aviation products including the Airbus A300L, carbon fiber parts are directly supplied from Dongda after processing!

After five years of joint research and trial production with Rolls-Royce on RB5/WS211, as well as talent training, Dongda's aero-engine has now gone through a complete advanced aero-engine development process. Having absorbed much of Rolls-Royce's engineering experience, it has accumulated tremendous experience in aero-engines of the RBB11/ws211 level.

These experiences were soon reflected in the upgrade and improvement of WS-9B. The aviation engine research team followed the research on WS11 while independently improving WS-9B, improving WS-9 by more than % in five years!

The original WS-9 had a maximum thrust of 54.5 kN, an afterburner thrust of 91.1 kN, a thrust-to-weight ratio of 5.05, a maximum military fuel consumption of 0.0684 kg/N·h, a maximum afterburner fuel consumption of 0.2 kg/N·h, and a bypass ratio of 0.62. After the improvement, the maximum thrust of the WS-9B was increased to 68 kN, and the afterburner thrust reached 110 kN. The overall mass of the engine was reduced to about 1700 kg.

The thrust-to-weight ratio has been increased to 6.45, while fuel consumption remains basically unchanged, which is a huge improvement in the performance of this engine.

It not only realizes the upgrade of J-9 and Q-9, but also provides new power for CAC-150/Airbus A310.

New materials such as carbon fiber have made great contributions in this regard. Although Rolls-Royce is very envious of these new materials and has also made numerous applications, Ren Zhong has instructed Chen Hanyuan not to give in in this regard.

Whether it is the RB211 aircraft engine or new passenger aircraft such as Airbus's A310, Dongda provides direct parts rather than raw materials.

With Airbus's huge vested interests at stake, if it were not bound by core technology, Ren Zhong could be almost certain that once the other party was able to manufacture completely independently, it would try every means to get rid of Todai's constraints and share of the profits.

You have to know that Airbus now has a 50% dividend right. Even John Bull does not have so many shares now. They had to give a share to the Gallic and Prussian aviation industries and give out some shares and production lines on the premise of opening up the European aviation market and forming a unified ESA. Only in this way could the three major European standards for the aviation industry be successfully formed.

The European aviation market was unified through such European standards.

Moreover, Airbus' main sales customers are now led by these three countries, with other countries serving as auxiliary.

It can be said that export controls did exist in fact before.

It’s just that in the past these were all corporate actions supported by Ren Zhong.

Now we need to study national standards.

Ensure that Southeast University’s overall technological leadership, which is worthy of being called the world’s best, can be more sustainable.

"Brother Ren, if that's the case, I have no objection. We can first limit it to a small area in this way, and then we can conduct a survey and comparison of all technical fields of East China University. For technologies that are obviously ahead of the world and have strong industry radiation capabilities, such technologies can be listed as sensitive technologies of our East China University. We will first conduct a large-scale industrial survey and get a list of sensitive technologies. In this regard, we would like to ask the experts from Brother Ren's Liming Research Institute to check it out." After listening to Ren Zhong's explanation and ideas, Staff Officer Ye nodded frequently. This was the mature way to go.

Staff Officer Ye is in charge of economy and technology, and has a much clearer understanding of the overall situation of Dongda's foreign trade and cooperation than Ren Zhong.

It can be said that the most valuable and profitable things of Dongda are now in very in-depth cooperation with companies in the western United States.

Dongda's upstream technology and products have been monetized through cooperation with a group of emerging leaders in the Qianlong Plan and top companies in the John Bull family such as Rolls-Royce. Now each of them is a giant enterprise that plays an important role in the world of Liangjian.

Among the top 500 companies in the world, there are only about 100 companies in Dongda in the open, which is not as good as the nearly 200 companies in Rogue Eagle and the nearly 130 to 140 companies in Europe in the world. But secretly including the companies controlled by the Qianlong Plan, the top 500 companies of Dongda in the world have exceeded 150. As a result, the actual strength of the top 500 companies controlled by Dongda has surpassed that of Europe, and is almost equal to that of Rogue Eagle.

Moreover, with the development of the IT industry in the future, there will be more companies emerging from the IT industry at Todai.

It is indeed not appropriate to act rashly.

However, if companies impose restrictions secretly, there will be no such problem.

The technological leader in the world of Bright Sword at this stage is undoubtedly the Liming system. Not to mention the military industry, it is basically the only one leading by a long way!
In the civilian sector, industries such as aviation, railway locomotives, shipbuilding, electronics, telecommunications and computers are basically all based on the technologies of the Liming Group. Although the relevant companies are not necessarily wholly owned by the Liming Group, the major shareholders are definitely controlled by the Liming Group.

In terms of steel metallurgy, chemical industry, and new materials, most of the technologies such as open-hearth furnaces, converters, and numerous alloys were also developed by the Liming Group. However, after more than 20 years of development, some people have left the Liming Research Institute to engage in independent innovation. Therefore, the Liming Group does not have a complete monopoly on technology in these areas. Related companies have flourished with all kinds of capital sources. Of course, the Liming Group also has some backbone companies, but the production capacity they occupy is not that much. In terms of steel, except for special steels, ordinary steels and even products such as ordinary rail steels have been withdrawn, and the companies here have been handed over to local state-owned enterprises.

Now the Liming Steel Group is focusing on the production of special steels for shipbuilding, artillery steel, high-end tool alloy steel, high-temperature alloy steel and other special alloy steels. Although its production capacity is only a few million tons, it occupies a large share in terms of output value.

Although home appliances such as televisions, microwave ovens, and refrigerators are technically developed by the Liming Research Institute, considering that the threshold for their production technology is not high, the Liming Group has not interfered too much in the development of this industry. Instead, it has handed it over to local or cooperative capital for production and sales. The Liming Group basically charges a certain patent licensing fee, so the development of this area is more prosperous, forming a huge supporting industrial chain and a large industry with several large home appliance companies as the main body and hundreds of small and medium-sized home appliance companies as the auxiliary. Now it has acquired the capabilities of a major home appliance producing country in the world of Sword and Fairy.

With the development of the electronics industry, the 8051 and 6502 chips designed and produced by Doxin Technology have become popular. Almost all home appliances have begun to upgrade to intelligent ones under the stimulation of these two chips.

Based on these two chips, the Liming Research Institute released a white paper on 18 typical application designs. After the 8051 and 6502 hardware design and programming application technology were made public, the home appliance industry in Dongda suddenly discovered a new world. Leading companies among them took the lead in responding and started the wave of smart home appliances. Microwave ovens and rice cookers with 99 cooking modes have just come out, and new products with 1080 modes are about to be released. The intelligent control of these two chips has brought the home appliance industry directly into the so-called smart era. All mechanical switches have been radically eliminated, and the cool era of full electronic control has begun.

This is Ren Zhong's plan to support Dongda's industry. For applied product research and development, the Liming Research Institute will handle the basic technology and core chips, and then leave the application development to major domestic manufacturers. The Liming Research Institute basically no longer intervenes in specific application development.

Instead, it directly provides chips and related basic design kits, a small single-board computer standard design of 8051 or 6502 chip, which can be customized by application manufacturers to allow downstream circuit board manufacturers to produce on demand. The Liming Research Institute has only completed a demonstration of the basic version, which is equivalent to inspiring countless applications and promoting the development of science and technology in this era. It is according to such planning steps that the driving role of the Liming Research Institute is now becoming increasingly greater.

No matter it is the original standardized design of personal computers or the current new single-chip microcomputer application design, after completing the basic chips and design kits, they can be infinitely copied to an industry for large-scale application development, promoting the development of basic technologies in Dongda and carrying out large-scale technological realization in all walks of life in Dongda. Through market behavior, we can cultivate some new industry leaders, so as to achieve full competition on the product side with low technical requirements. This new and fully market-oriented approach is more stable and powerful for the economic development of Dongda.

Therefore, after some industrial research, Dongda began to tighten its control over its leading core technologies and proactively implemented restrictive sales to the West.

As a result, even if a giant like MBI has designed a high-performance computer such as a parallel computer mainframe, it has gradually become a pot without rice. According to the current order situation, their purchasing quantity requirements are far from meeting the production needs.

Through the secret adjustment of high-end chips, companies related to the University of Tokyo were given priority access to scarce chip resources and made huge profits in the high-end, high-profit host market. (End of this chapter)
