Due to the lack of its own large die forging machines, it is difficult for Stark Industry to make technological breakthroughs in powder metallurgy. At present, even if it wants to prevent the construction of the third-generation gas turbine developed by China, the blade materials must use Chinese technical patents, which is one of the difficult technical bottlenecks to break through.

China's Heavy Industry Group built the world's first 80,000-ton die forging machine a year ago. With this die forging machine, Chinese technicians can conduct experiments on powder metallurgy materials as they please, which has led to a blowout breakthrough in China's powder metallurgy materials research.

At present, many metal material experiments in China are done with the help of Huayang Heavy Industry's 80,000-ton die forging machine, which is a condition that many international peers cannot obtain

The difference between scientific research and metaphysics is that scientific research is actually a regular basis. As long as you do everything you should do, you will be able to achieve corresponding results.

The difference between a strong and a weak country is that its conditions are different. In the past, the experimental conditions of China's universities and research institutes were far less than those of Western countries, and the scientific research funding was pitifully small. How could scientific researchers produce excellent results just by writing and calculating in the library?

The situation is very different now. China's national strength has increased, and its investment in scientific research has been increasing. Many foreign experimental conditions have been installed in China.

Even some experimental conditions that cannot be met abroad can provide domestically with sufficient scientific research funds and pour them in, so all kinds of achievements will naturally break through the ground like spring bamboo shoots.

There are more and more foreign capitalists like Stark who want to purchase machinery and equipment in China. No matter how the governments of Western powers emphasize the importance of their own technological research and development, the nature of free trade is to pursue interests. Only the best quality and low-priced products are in line with the interests of capitalists.

Since the Age of Discovery, this idea of ​​interest supremacy has dominated everything and cannot be stopped by any government or dictator.

In order to pursue commercial interests, the ban on sales issued by the Chinese federal government will definitely arouse dissatisfaction among major domestic business groups. At this point, even Zhong Yang has no choice but to delay as much as possible.

People's hearts are the general trend, but the general trend may not be right. Many times it is just a superficial and philanthropic choice.

In Wuhan, it was in full swing because of a large industrial equipment exhibition. On the other hand, Liu Haoran, the president of Xinghua News Agency, was not idle. He had a secret meeting with senior leaders of the Hualian Navy in Kaohsiung Military Port in Taiwan. It seemed to be about a production plan.

In terms of shipbuilding, Xinghua News Agency is still a well-deserved overlord, and others are unable to shake anything.

Huayang Heavy Industry's exhibition plan at the Wuhan Equipment Exhibition has nothing to do with Liu Haoran. He is a dignified group chairman and the president of Xinghua News Agency. Naturally, he will not stay there to play the role of a contractor.

The day after the project agreement was signed, he flew from Saint Wuhan to Guangzhou by short flight, explained something, and then changed his plane there to Taiwan.

Flights from Guangzhou to Taiwan are from Hongqiao Airport

Liu Haoran has been struggling on the plane, wondering if he should go see his old friend Lu Xianghai, whom he met in the naval department, in the past, when he came to Taiwan to do business, he would usually visit Lu Xianghai if he had time, but this time the situation was different.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, he scolded senior naval officials, including Lu Xianghai. Who knows if they still remember his grudges?

This problem was solved when he walked out of the gate of Hongqiao Airport. He saw a row of naval officers in uniform standing outside the gate. The three leaders Liu Haoran knew each other, namely Duan Depu, the commander of the navy, the commander of the navy, Yu Tianfang, the commander of the fleet, and Lu Xianghai, the deputy director of the Ship Research Institute, Lu Xianghai, the deputy director of the Ship Research Institute.

There were several soldiers standing beside them, one of them holding a big sign in his hand and said "Warm welcome to the naval hero Mr. Liu Haoran". There was no doubt that the other people were holding flowers in their hands, which were prepared to offer them to him.

When he saw Liu Haoran coming out of the airport, Lu Xianghai and the other three met him together.

Due to their position, they were not convenient to salute Liu Haoran. However, Liu Haoran was caught off guard and hurriedly stopped saluting several senior military officials. Then Lu Xianghai and others returned the gift to Liu Haoran, shook hands, and the soldiers holding flowers next to him also came forward and gave the bouquet to Liu Haoran and the entourage who arrived with him.

"Commander Duan, President Lu, I'm so ashamed to let you greet me here," Liu Haoran said with an embarrassment.

Although he had a lot of dealing with senior officials such as ministers and generals on weekdays, he still felt flattered when others greeted him with such grand etiquette, especially since he had scolded the other party before.

"It should be, it should be." Duan Depp laughed, patted Liu Haoran on the shoulder, and said, "Mr. Liu, you are a hero of our navy. Minister Zhang is right. No one can talk about the San Goga Islands except you."

The San Goga Islands are a small island in the Indian Ocean, and are a small country itself. After China relied on the East, this small country began to gradually move closer to China Leagues in politics.

Duan Depu compliments Liu Haoran so much is actually a scene, but being able to buy a harbor from the other party by relying on trade and economic means does prove the strength and means of Xinghua News Agency and Liu Haoran himself.

Liu Haoran waved his hands repeatedly: "How dare I? I am punishing my merits. I really don't dare to call myself a hero."

"I'm going to lose my sins? Where does the sin come from?" Duan Depu asked knowingly

"Two commanders, during the Spring Festival, I was also very angry and confused. I said some disrespectful words on the phone. If you can run warships in your stomach, don't worry about me," said Liu Haoran.

It turned out that it was because of some differences in the national maritime strategy that Liu Haoran cursed in a hurry, but now both sides have already explained their dislikes and finally everyone is happy.

Duan Depu smiled and said, "Where are you saying this, Mr. Liu, what you said during the Spring Festival is very good. Our navy really cannot stay in our own territorial waters all day long. Times have changed, and our country has its own overseas interests. Our navy should go out and fight for great interests for the country and the people. Your reminder to us is very pertinent."

"Don't laugh at me..." Liu Haoran pretended to be pitiful.

Of course he knew that the other party no longer cared about his anger. After all, there has always been a lot of cooperation between the two parties, which cannot be destroyed by just one or two words.

However, he always wants to make a mistake and people don’t care about it, which does not mean that he can be content with it. This is the minimum common sense of being a human being

Lu Xianghai walked up and patted Lin Zhenhua on the shoulder and said, "You Haoran, now you know you are wrong? I honestly admit that you drank too much that day and were talking nonsense when you were a little stimulating?"

"Director Lu Shengming, I did drink a little more that day." Liu Haoran responded to Lu Xianghai's words and said that he had not drunk at all at that time. The emotional fluctuations were entirely due to some troubles in his family.

Lu Xianghai also knew this. He deliberately said that Liu Haoran had drunk too much, so he naturally wanted to excuse Liu Haoran on this occasion. After he pretended to scold him for a few words, he began to introduce to Liu Haoran the officers who came to the airport to greet him today.

The lowest rank of these people is also a lieutenant colonel, all of whom are officers such as fleets and captains. From this lineup, we can also see that the courtesy given to Liu Haoran by the navy is indeed very high.

It's no wonder that the Navy is heading towards the ocean, and the supply port is a very important part

The supply port that allows naval garrisons like the San Goga Islands is actually an overseas naval base. When war comes, it will be the most reliable rear guarantee for the ocean fleet.

Liu Haoran negotiated such a base for the Navy, and it is not an exaggeration to call him a hero.

After the airport welcome ceremony, it was naturally a welcome banquet. Liu Haoran wanted to apologize to the Navy for the previous incident. He was naturally unavoidable. As a result, he was drunk and slept in the hotel until noon the next day.

"Good guy, how much wine did you drink yesterday?" Lu Xianghai accompanied Lin Zhenhua to order a few light dishes in the hotel restaurant, and asked Liu Haoran while eating.

Liu Haoran smiled bitterly and said, "Who knows, under normal circumstances, I have more than one pound of white wine. Last night, I guess it was at least twice as many."

"The officers in the army have good alcohol tolerance. In addition, with the wheel battle, it would be strange if you don't fall down," Lu Xianghai shook his head and said, "My lover is still complaining about me, saying that I shouldn't let you drink so much."

The two had a good personal relationship, and Liu Haoran also smiled and said, "It's not okay if you don't drink. After all, I'm in the wrong place. If you don't drink more, how can you show your sincerity?"

Lu Xianghai understood Liu Haoran's idea. This is the wine culture with Chinese characteristics. If you want to resolve grudges, you must get yourself drunk, otherwise nothing will be done.

He sighed and said, "Oh, this is good. After drinking this, even if the Spring Festival is over, no one will mention it again in the future. In fact, everyone has a very good impression of you, but after all, you have said some very heavy words. If you say that there is no grudge in your heart, it is impossible. If you can apologize for alcohol, everyone will have nothing to say."

Liu Haoran smiled and said, "If I had known this, I would not have had that much effort in the San Goga Islands. Look, I have negotiated the supply port for you, but I still couldn't escape this wine."

In fact, Liu Haoran himself also understands that this is a question of attitude. I am afraid that in the eyes of the military and government, Xinghua News Agency has become too popular recently, which has caused dissatisfaction among some people.

There is jealousy and greed. Since ancient times, people who hold political power and military power in China have been accustomed to using their power to seek benefits, so they naturally covet the Liu family's blessings.

However, this kind of thing can never be brought to the table, and there is a classic in ancient Chinese behind it, so Liu Haoran is not afraid of anyone trying to touch him

Lu Xianghai said: "Drinking is drinking, negotiation is negotiating. The former is a private matter, and the latter is a public matter. We cannot generalize it to escort the Indian Ocean. It is just the first step for the navy to move towards the ocean in the future. We will also go to the South Pacific, Atlantic Ocean, and Mediterranean. We still need many supply ports. The development of these supply ports may also require you, the big local industrialists, to assist you."

Liu Haoran said: "Why, you have tasted the sweetness. Are you planning to rely on our private enterprises to stand for you?"

Lu Xianghaidao: "Practice shows that this is a very good model, which is much better than when we negotiate directly in the name of the military."

Liu Haoran said proudly: "This is the time is different. Today, in this world, the economic power has passed through military power. We finally impressed the Saint-Goga Islands government, and also created income and employment opportunities for them. You see, one day, I can rent a port in New York to serve as a supply port for our navy."

"This is probably a bit difficult," Lu Xianghai laughed, and in his heart he regarded this sentence as just a joke by Liu Haoran.

Given the current tension between China and the United States, the China Alliance Navy wants to rent a military port in the United States, which is a huge joke

After lunch, Lu Xianghai called a car and went to Kaohsiung's shipbuilding base to inspect the naval ships being built there.

Hongxing Island is an island located outside Kaohsiung. It is 39 kilometers long from east to west and 7 kilometers wide from north to south, with a total area of ​​210 square kilometers. It has a deep water coastline of nearly 20 kilometers. The deepest part of the water depth can reach more than 100 meters, which is very suitable for building docks and shipbuilding berths.

With the booming development of China's shipbuilding industry, the original space of the two major shipyards in Jiangnan and Hudong is far from meeting the needs. Now, these two shipyards are moved to Taiwan at the same time to build a factory area, making Hongxing Island the largest shipbuilding industrial base in southern China and even the country overnight.

As a shipbuilding base, Hongxing Island has another special benefit, which is that it is far away from the city and is lonely in the ocean, with few idle people, making it easy to keep it confidential.

Currently, the 100,000-ton nuclear-powered aircraft carrier designed and built by Lu Xianghai himself is hidden in a super-large workshop at the Hongxing Island shipbuilding base. There is a cordon around it. Not far away, there is even an air defense missile battalion on standby at any time, ready to face the enemy.

The small transport ship Lu Xianghai and Liu Haoran were riding through the waves and came to Hongxing Island. After passing several checkpoints, they finally entered the military port area. Lu Xianghai pulled Liu Haoran out of the car and introduced to Liu Haoran as if he were familiar to him:

"Haoran, look, what is being built there are two air-defense destroyers with full load displacement of more than 9,000 tons. Now military fans outside say that they are powered by the Chinese ASCHS ship or are your gas turbines built by Huayang Heavy Industry's gas turbines used before. The navy has reported that the performance is excellent and the maintenance is not very difficult. Everyone says thank you very much."

Liu Haoran smiled and said, "We are the company, you are the customers. In theory, we are thanking you."

Lu Xianghai also smiled: "Haoran, others don't know, but I know that you have invested a lot in order to overcome the technology of gas turbines, which is far beyond the price we ordered from you for other companies. I'm afraid it's difficult to choose to lose money to develop equipment for the navy in this way."

Liu Haoran was solemn: "Old Lu, I remember telling you many years ago that everyone has a dream of a strong country in their hearts. Although we are enterprises, we are not profit-oriented. It is also our glory to be able to contribute some efforts to the country."

"Besides, we have invested heavily in the development of gas turbines, and the returns are also very large. In addition to marine machines, we also developed electric gas turbines and chemical process gas turbines based on this model. These are all high-profit products."

"The civilianization of military technology will bring rewards from the civilian market, and then feedback it to military industry scientific research to form a virtuous cycle. This is the idea that Haoran told me more than ten years ago. Now it seems that you have practiced very well." Lu Xianghai said to Liu Haoran with a smile and said, "

Liu Haoran also nodded and said: "Technology must be transformed into productivity. If scientific and technological achievements are limited to laboratories or only to the military industry, it will definitely be difficult to succeed in military industry. No matter how powerful military technology is, if it is not converted into practical wealth, it will only have a way to collapse."

"Good saying it," Lu Xianghai said, "When I was still fighting, I admired your business mind to be honest. At that time, I was a little sorry for you. I felt that people who are capable as much as you should concentrate on scientific research and run around and make money all day long, which is a waste of talents."

Liu Haoran also sighed: "Actually, I was forced to go to Liangshan. I am not a person who is good at business. My ideal is like your old Lu. I am also sitting in the laboratory for some research. Who knows that by chance, I became an entrepreneur."

The original life trajectory was to enter a foreign business and learn some skills, but I met Zhong Yang and a group of young people with dreams. In essence, Liu Haoran also likes research work very much. He is not just a businessman

In the current social context, what China needs most is not only scientists, but also entrepreneur Liu Haoran, who has adapted to the times, stood out and created the huge Xinghua Society.

There is a lack of an outstanding engineer in the world, but there are more than a thousand engineers called out because of the rise of Xinghua Community?

Generations of domestic technology elites have a broad stage due to Liu Haoran's existence and are able to display their skills.

In this sense, Liu Haoran's actions have promoted technology far more than he did to be an engineer himself

"Let's go, I'll take you to see our aircraft carrier." Lu Xianghai said to Liu Haoran with great enthusiasm to be continued)
