Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 202 Development Inventory and Brainwave Helmet
The Lunar New Year of 1984 was on February 2nd according to the Gregorian calendar. Wang Jiankun had a very comfortable Spring Festival. He did not have to worry too much about the development of his hometown. Now the Wangjia Production Team and even the entire Fengshan Commune have made leaps and bounds in development.

For example, every family in the team has bought a TV now, and about half of them have bought 19-inch color TVs. After Xingyao Electronics began to license color TV technology to others and sell key color cathode ray tubes, domestic TV manufacturers began to compete inward.

Television companies in many southern provinces, which are the most well-informed and quickest to respond, have turned to Xingyao Electronics for cooperation, and bought the latest production lines and color cathode ray tubes from there. They also sourced various control chips for circuit boards from Xingyao Electronics. Then, with the help of many new human engineers sent by Xingyao Electronics, they quickly completed the layout and debugging of the production lines, and completed the project from signing to having basic production capabilities in just three or four months.

Xingyao Electronics is committed to providing support for the development of the domestic electronics industry. These technologies and products can be purchased with RMB, so many companies in China have already launched domestically produced color TVs, which are much cheaper than imported ones.

In addition, starting from the second half of 83, the price of new lighters dropped by about 30% due to greatly improved efficiency, which led to a surge in sales of this type of plastic-shell lighters at home and abroad. The Wangjia Production Team and the Fengshan Commune's spring factory had an income of tens of millions. In addition to paying workers' wages, most of the money was used for infrastructure construction.

For example, Fengshan Commune invested in the construction of Lingjiao Reservoir. The reservoir is currently under intensive construction. The dam will be completed in about half a year, and by the end of 84, it should be able to store water and generate electricity. Once the reservoir is completed, all production teams in the entire Fengshan Commune will be able to have access to electricity, instead of only the commune headquarters and a few production teams on both sides of the road to Wangjia Production Team having electricity available as it is now.

In addition to investing in the construction of a reservoir, Secretary Cheng also plans to widen and harden the roads between all the teams in the commune. According to my father, the commune has held two rounds of discussions and it has basically been decided to start after the spring plowing.

Tsinghua's cement plant is constantly expanding its production. With the Fengshan Commune project, they can invest money with confidence. Wang Jiankun provides the cement plant with the latest production equipment through covert channels, which can greatly increase the production efficiency of the cement plant and greatly reduce production costs.

Cement is a product that is large in size, heavy in weight and of low unit value, so it is better to produce it nearby. Otherwise, with the current domestic transportation conditions, it is very troublesome to purchase cement from far away. Moreover, the economy of the whole country is developing rapidly, there are construction sites everywhere, and the demand for cement is also very large. In addition to the transportation difficulties, buying cement from afar also requires gifts, etc.

As the roads were built, the team had more and more bicycles and motorcycles. Now that the county could produce motorcycles, it was easier to buy one. As long as you had money, you could go to the county and ride back a brand new motorcycle on the same day.

The motorcycle assembly plant jointly built by Xingyao Group and the county has put into operation three production lines, two of which are for heavy-duty motorcycles that can carry 3 kilograms and travel at a maximum speed of 200 kilometers per hour, and the other is for medium-sized motorcycles that can carry 80 kilograms and travel at a speed of 140 kilometers per hour. If riding alone, the maximum speed can reach 79 kilometers per hour, but this speed is almost useless at present because there are no very flat roads for these two motorcycles to perform.

In addition to the three production lines that have been put into production, the second phase of the motorcycle production has also begun construction. Because the sales are so hot, the demand for motorcycles in several coastal provinces in the south seems to be a bottomless pit. Often a truckload of motorcycles is sold out within two days of being delivered. Based on the information collected from direct stores in various places, Chen Xingdong judged that the sales of motorcycles will continue to rise, and the demand may double every year in the future.

In 83, the Jialing Factory and several motorcycle factories transformed from military factories in China produced a total of more than 80 motorcycles, and all of them were sold out. Including the 8 produced by Xingyao's own joint venture factory, the number is very close to 100 million.

Therefore, this second phase factory is a super huge factory with a total of 25 production lines planned. If all of them are put into production, including the three production lines in the first phase, then this joint venture motorcycle company will be able to produce 3 motorcycles per month, and the annual output will reach 30 million. Based on the current average ex-factory price of 350 yuan, the output value will reach 1800 billion yuan, which will help the county's GDP surpass the core area where the provincial capital Hongdu is located.

It was precisely because of Secretary Wu's political achievements and the rich family fortune that he was promoted to mayor of Raozhou before the end of his term, and he is very likely to make further progress in the future.

In addition to investing heavily in Wuyuan County, Xingyao Group has also invested a large amount of funds and technology in Raozhou. For example, it has reached a technical transformation agreement with the steel mills in Raozhou area. Xingyao Group has provided several medium-sized electric furnaces and purchased several hot rolling lines and cold rolling lines for steel of different specifications, which has helped Raozhou Steel Plant to continuously improve the quality of its steel products and greatly expand its product range.

In addition to cooperating with this state-owned steel plant, it has also invested in a number of small county-level steel plants. Although the production capacity of these small plants is not large, the Xingyao Group needs them to produce several special steel products. In addition to being used in motorcycles, these steel products are also exported to Hong Kong.

Because the Xingyao Group not only provided money but also technology and engineers, the transformation of these steel mills was very fast. The steel products they currently produce are no longer the low-end products such as pig iron and ordinary carbon steel, but special alloy steels that Wang Jiankun discovered using his superpowers.

Although the demand for these special alloy steels is small, they are indispensable for many products. With parts made of these special alloy steels, the quality of motorcycles in the Xingyao Group market far exceeds that of several other companies, and their service life is also much longer than that of several other companies.

Xingyao Group does not cheat these partners. The prices of these alloy steels are based on similar foreign products, so the partners are very satisfied and the wages received by the workers are generally higher than those of other types of work. Therefore, the current cooperation is very stable and the product quality is also well controlled.

The cooperation with these steel mills will continue. In the next two years, Xingyao Group will continue to invest large sums of money and provide a large number of new human engineers to help these factories upgrade their industries, so that their production capacity and quality can be taken to a higher level, laying a solid foundation for the next step of the automotive industry.

Wang Jiankun received a piece of news that in January this year, the first joint venture for complete vehicle manufacturing, Beijing Jeep Company, was established, jointly invested by BJ Automobile Industry Corporation and Chrysler of the United States.

This marks the beginning of China's automobile industry's opening up to the outside world. Xingyao Group can follow the path taken by its predecessors and invest in automobile production.

In addition, SAIC Group has been established for several years, and the cooperation negotiations with Volkswagen of Germany have lasted for a long time. According to business intelligence, the negotiations have entered the second half. If nothing unexpected happens, a cooperation agreement may be reached by the end of this year or early next year.

With these two joint ventures paving the way, Wang Jiankun believes that the cooperation proposed by Xingyao Group is very likely to be approved.

However, the overall development of Jiangxi Province is still relatively backward, and there is no large-scale manufacturing industry yet. Therefore, there are very few industrial workers and supporting small-scale parts manufacturers. It is still very difficult for automobile factories to set up production here.

That is why Wang Jiankun asked Xingyao Group to invest in the motorcycle industry first, train a group of industrial workers who know how to use various machine tools and equipment, and also provide investment support to build a number of supporting factories. When the conditions are ripe, they can be established and produce products as quickly as motorcycle manufacturers.

Of course, the automobile factory in the first phase will not have too much production capacity. It will mainly carry out industrial chain integration and train industrial workers and corresponding management talents. When the time is right, Wang Jiankun will let Xingyao Group turn to the electric vehicle track and completely avoid the patent blockade of foreign automobile manufacturers.

In fact, Jiangxi Province has unique advantages in developing the electric vehicle industry. The province not only has Asia's largest copper mine, the Dexing Copper Mine, but also has a very rare lithium mineral resource in the country, the Yichun Lithium Mine.

The three most important components of electric vehicles are the motor, power battery, and electronic control management system. The motor requires a large amount of copper wire. For the power battery, Wang Jiankun plans to use lithium-ion batteries in the initial stage, and then gradually launch lithium-sulfur batteries, lithium-air batteries, and finally super graphene batteries. The lithium resources needed for lithium batteries are abundant in Yichun, Jiangxi Province, which are sufficient for early use.

The electronic control system is Xingyao Group's strong point. As higher-process chip production lines continue to be put into production, the hardware used to control electric vehicles is no longer a problem.

In addition to preparing to invest in the construction of an automobile factory in Jiang Province, the heavy vehicle production plant in Guang Province is also under intensive construction.

The original plan was to build a new armored vehicle production plant in northern Myanmar. However, after a long talk with his uncle and taking into account the restrictions in northern Myanmar, the production of armored vehicles was postponed. However, the situation has changed a lot now, so Wang Jiankun asked the Southern Liberation Front to prepare to build an armored vehicle factory in the port city of Yangon immediately after the unification of Myanmar.

In addition, various domestic projects are now being started one after another, requiring a large number of construction machinery and heavy-duty transport trucks, so Wang Jiankun asked Xingyao Group to start discussing investment in a heavy-duty vehicle factory with Guangdong Province.

Previously, the report from Guangdong Province had been stuck after it reached BJ, and the top leaders had not approved it. However, with the successful development of the supercomputer, the top leaders reviewed the joint venture project report again, and after a vote, they agreed to this major joint venture project.

The other party of the joint venture is Guangzhou Automobile Factory, whose predecessor can be traced back to Guangzhou Public Automobile Repair Factory in 1954, when the first "Hua Nan" iron-wood structure bus was built by hand. However, the development of the automobile industry in Guangdong Province was not smooth afterwards, and there has been no major breakthrough.

The GAC Automobile Factory is located at the mouth of the Pearl River in Panyu District, Guangzhou City. To its right is the confluence of the Shiziyang River and the Dongjiang River, and the terrain is relatively low.

The original GAC Motors plant site was very large, covering about 6 mu. Because it was located at the mouth of the Pearl River, the land was saline and could not grow food, so the site was very large. Now the government is using the GAC Motors plant for a joint venture, and this large area will be assigned to the newly established GAC Group. In order to leave room for subsequent development, the government has also frozen 2 mu of surrounding land, not allowing other companies to build here. When needed, the mu of land can be purchased with money or used as investment capital for stock expansion.

In this joint venture, Guangdong Province introduced this car factory, which had little development, as the Chinese representative, intending to give it a try. If it succeeds, that would be the best, but if not, there won't be much loss, and maybe they can even get some new technologies.

However, Xingyao Group takes this cooperation very seriously. Chen Xingdong, the president of Xingyao Group, has already invested most of his energy into this joint venture heavy-duty vehicle factory. In addition, Wang Jiankun has also begun to devote a lot of energy to the construction and testing of the heavy-duty vehicle production line.

So on the evening of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Jiankun left his hometown and came to the base in Wuyuan. He then moved out the long-forgotten "Thunderbird" hypersonic aircraft from there. On the night of the Spring Festival, he drove it across southern China to the base in northern Myanmar.

"Jiankun, Happy New Year!"

Early in the morning, Wang Jiankun met his uncle Cen Yong at the base.

"Happy New Year, uncle. Why did you come to the base so early in the morning? The Langdao headquarters should be very busy!" Wang Jiankun talked to his uncle while washing up.

"It's okay. We are also celebrating the Lunar New Year here. We all have our own division of labor. At present, I am mainly responsible for the condolence and inspection work at the base. I came here from Langdao the day before yesterday." My uncle explained.

Now the SPLA has undergone some reorganization, and the name of the entire organization has been changed to Global United Liberation Front. The organization's goal has also been expanded from liberating the South Asian continent to liberating the world, so the abbreviation is the SPLA.

"Uncle, you came at the right time. Take this helmet and try it out. There is a brain wave converter inside that allows you to communicate wirelessly with people who have implanted brain-computer chips. It can also help you to quickly handle some tasks." After Wang Jiankun finished washing up, he took out a piece of equipment similar to a motorcycle helmet and gave it to his uncle.

Because brain waves become very weak after passing through the skull and scalp, in order to connect to these weak brain waves through external devices, a large number of sensors are needed to be combined into an array to amplify these weak brain waves, and then to transmit the information to the brain through brain waves, a large number of transmitters are also needed. Therefore, even though Wang Jiankun has solved the battery system, this external brain wave device is still very large. It took him continuous testing and personal trial for a long time before it was reduced to the current size of a motorcycle helmet.

"This is too big, and it's not very nice to wear this helmet. It will be very hot in summer!" My uncle took it with disdain.

"No, it can only be this big for now. I will optimize it later. However, by then, the large-scale brain-computer chip implantation test will be basically completed. We can all implant brain-computer chips and will not need this kind of external equipment."

"Okay, I'll try it for a while."

"Try it first. I've given you the highest authority. You can access the brain-computer chips of all new humans. In addition, the brain-computer chips of all loyal cadres can also communicate directly. All you need to do is make a request."

Taking privacy into consideration, Wang Jiankun had to classify the permissions of the brain-computer chip.

All the new humans he created were of the lowest level. The data of the new humans in non-confidential positions could be read by the brain-computer chips of the previous level, while those in confidential positions could be read by inputting the corresponding password.

The brain-computer chip of a natural person is a black box design. The chip will only monitor whether the implanted person has the intention and action of rebellion. Once there is an idea or action of betraying the organization, the chip will immediately send a message out automatically and then self-destruct and kill the implanted person. At other times, the chip will not know how to contact the outside world and the implanted person needs to issue corresponding instructions.

Other people can only contact the people they want to contact just like making a phone call. The messages sent are all confirmed by the implanted person, and there will not be a situation where all messages are open to the other party as soon as the connection is made.

My uncle followed Wang Jiankun's instructions and put on the matte black helmet. Because Wang Jiankun had my uncle's body data, the size of the helmet was just right. After putting it on, the internal sensor pins fit the head very well.

After Cen Yong put on the helmet and pressed the start switch, he felt his scalp numbing for a moment, and then it was as if he had entered an extremely empty space.

The tingling of the scalp is a deliberate step when the device is first connected. The helmet will emit full-frequency electromagnetic waves to the brain, and then capture the wearer's brain wave frequency based on the brain's electromagnetic wave feedback, thus completing the connection procedure.

After putting on the helmet, my uncle closed his eyes slightly and followed the prompts in the space step by step. This was to make some basic settings, such as language type, sound feedback, pain feedback level, etc.

After completing the basic settings, he connected to a nearby new human service staff, and then easily read the new human's recent memory.

He couldn't help but marvel at it. Although several loyal cadres had told him about their feelings after the brain-computer chip was implanted, none of them was as intuitive as experiencing it himself.

After trying it, he felt that this helmet would definitely be welcomed by the other four senior executives. With this helmet, their work efficiency would be greatly improved, and the management work of the entire organization would be greatly improved.

"Jiankun, this helmet is quite useful. Do the others have one ready?"

"Yes, it's in the box over there. You can have someone bring it to them later."

"Okay, if we weren't concerned about the one in ten thousand failure rate, we would all like to implant a brain-computer chip. Now the work of the organization is becoming more and more complicated. Those loyal cadres with brain-computer chips handle their work quickly and perfectly, which makes us look incompetent. Sometimes a document takes a long time to study, and the people waiting for their work are extremely anxious, but we dare not issue it casually. Now with this helmet, we can be considered to have kept up with the times."

"There are more than 3 cases of brain-computer chips being implanted in natural persons, right?"

"There are 4280 cases so far. There are a lot of military personnel involved this time. Last time, you created a lot of medical staff who can perform surgery, so the implantation speed of brain-computer chips is getting faster and faster."

"After we have completed 1 cases, you can decide whether to implant or wait a little longer."

"Well, we'll wait until we complete 1 cases. If there are no unexpected circumstances, we will choose to implant them then."

"Okay, take the helmet. I'm going to eat first, and then go to the aerospace engine research base. You can make your own arrangements."

"Then I'll arrange for the helmet to be delivered first. I'll go to the aerospace engine research base later to see how the engines you mentioned work."
