Chapter 348: Rise Up, Juye, Village
The excavation took several months, and a lot of things happened during these months.
One is that after the missile crisis ended, the United States sent an aircraft carrier battle group to Asia, and its purpose is self-evident.
After India received support from the United States, its attitude immediately changed.
Originally, when they were negotiating territorial issues with Burma, they had already planned to withdraw their troops, because Nehru only wanted to use this incident to enhance his own prestige and reduce the impact of the defeat in the war on the mainland, and did not really expect to occupy territory in Burma.
However, when the United States intervened and provided support, Nehru immediately changed his position, saying that the occupied land should have belonged to India.
In addition, the Nehru government's attitude towards the mainland has gradually become tougher, demanding that mainland China withdraw from the southern Tibet region.
However, the mainland completely ignored this and pointed out that the so-called "McMahon Line" was a unilateral boundary drawn during the British colonial rule, and the mainland has never recognized this line.
Against this backdrop, the conflict between mainland China and India further escalated, and the two sides engaged in a fierce war of words.
The Indian side insists that according to the "McMahon Line", the southern Tibet region should belong to India, and this view is also recognized internationally.
However, the mainland firmly opposes this statement, emphasizing that the "McMahon Line" is the product of British imperialist aggression and expansion and is illegal and invalid.
Throughout history, the defense line between the mainland and India has always been based on the administrative jurisdiction of both sides, which has become a long-standing traditional border line.
The mainland has not joined the United Nations today, so the pressure exerted by the United States on the mainland at the UN conference has been ignored by the mainland.
Even facing the threat of the coalition forces of the great powers, the mainland has nothing to fear, because they have occupied the land and built simple fortifications on the front line, so it is absolutely impossible to evacuate easily.
Thanks to the existence of airships, the poor traffic conditions in southern Tibet are no longer a problem.
As long as the soldiers on the front line clear a piece of open space, they can deliver supplies by airship.
This advantage is unmatched by other aircraft.
The mainland's love for airships is evident, and it has even issued scientific research tasks, but the finished products developed are far inferior to the capabilities of the Nanhua airship.
For safety reasons, the mainland can only choose helium as the fuel for airships. However, the buoyancy of helium is 10% smaller than that of hydrogen. In order to achieve the same carrying capacity, a larger volume must be added to increase buoyancy.
However, as the size of the airship increases, the proportion of internal supports required will also increase accordingly.
This means that the improvements brought by further increasing the size of the airship will become extremely limited.
In contrast, Nanhua's airship uses light steel as its internal support structure, and only a small amount of light steel is needed to firmly support the entire airship.
In addition, Nanhua's unique special rubber airbag is not only durable, lightweight and fireproof, but also can more safely use hydrogen as a buoyancy source.
These factors work together to enable Nanhua's airships to carry such large amounts of cargo.
Reports submitted by scientific research institutions across the mainland clearly pointed out that it is not recommended to continue the development of airships without the support of light steel technology.
The leaders of the Mechanical Department were very disappointed with the result.
In the industrial zone of Juye, the production of airships has come to a standstill since the Wang family left.
Although the hundreds of airships currently available in the country seem to be a large number, they are far from meeting the demand in actual applications.
The leaders of the Machinery Department were well aware of the high price of Nanhua light steel in the international market, so they did not consider purchasing light steel to manufacture airships.
The price was too high and beyond their affordability.
At present, light steel purchased in small batches is used for key components, and settlement is made in RMB after negotiation, but there are certain quantity limits each year.
If you want to buy in bulk, Nanhua will not sell at all.
Mainland China's main exports to South China include various fruits, medicinal materials and minerals.
In the absence of adding more export items, Nanhua firmly disagrees to increase the RMB to purchase its products.
However, the mainland was unwilling to exchange things that could be exchanged for large amounts of money. Nanhua proposed to purchase large bronzes, precious porcelains, and famous paintings and calligraphy. These things are also national treasures for the mainland. Although the mainland also sells a large number of antiques to earn foreign exchange, what it sells are ordinary things. The mainland can protect the unique treasures very well.
Today, the Juye area has become the largest industrial zone in the country, covering a wide range of fields from automobile manufacturing to armored vehicle and tank production, from steelmaking to machinery and equipment manufacturing.
This region has become the core of the country's industry, providing strong support for industrial construction in various regions.
According to the central plan, the Juye area will be brought under the direct jurisdiction of the central government. Such an important place can no longer be controlled by the local government.
Juye's population now exceeds two million, and elites from all over the country gather here.
Especially after the naval headquarters was established here, many naval scientific research institutions also moved to the Juye area.
The industrial development and gathering of talents here have led to a significant improvement in the navy's equipment.
Now the construction of the Navy's warships has begun, which is an important milestone.
Although the 3200-ton warship is not large in size, it is the first warship built independently by the mainland and is of great significance.
The ability to manufacture it so quickly is closely related to the excellent industrial foundation of Juye area.
The Type 051 missile destroyer is currently under intensive construction at the Dalian Shipyard. The hull has been built and it is expected that in two years, the mainland navy will have its own powerful warship.
Eight years earlier than the first ship in history, this is the change brought by Wang Ze.
The missile battleship that the Navy just sent back has been docked at the Dalian Shipyard and occasionally goes out to sea for sea trials.
The main purpose of doing this is to allow the warship designers to conduct in-depth research on the design concept and technical features of the Nanhua ship, and provide more inspiration for the design of the next Type 051 missile destroyer.
I believe that in the process of continuous learning and improvement, the future Type 051 missile destroyer will be even more outstanding.
Every naval commander was full of confidence in the future, because they believed that if even small South China could achieve such achievements, there was no reason why the mainland with its vast territory, abundant resources and abundant talents could not achieve it.
Today, Wangjiatun has been completely transformed and is completely different from its past.
The original village no longer exists. Brand new houses have been built in a new area a few kilometers away. These were built by the state and allocated to the villagers.
The houses here are all traditional brick and tile structures, and each household has a small courtyard, which makes it very warm.
Although the current living conditions are difficult, the villagers can basically fill their stomachs thanks to the occasional food support from Nanhua.
Especially those tribesmen who followed Wang Jixin outside would send back hundreds of Singapore dollars every month, making many families envious of them.
But it was too late to regret now, because they could not establish direct contact with Nanhua, let alone send the young people in their families there to work.
But in comparison, the Wang family felt that they were still lucky, after all, they still had the supplies sent by Nanhua.
Some minor incidents occurred during the demolition of the old Wangjiatun.
When military engineers began to demolish the building, they found that Wang Ze's yard was very solid and difficult to demolish.
No matter whether you use a hammer or other tools, you can't leave any marks on the wall.
In the end, they had to use the method of drilling holes one by one and injecting large amounts of "substances" to slowly demolish this seemingly ordinary house.
The materials removed here were not thrown away, but carefully collected and sent to various scientific research institutions.
The military really wants to know how this thing was built. If it was used to build military facilities, they have no idea how to break it.
