"As for that laboratory in Zhongguancun..."
"Lord Liao, that's our future..."
"Most of the money I made from silver futures in Hong Kong, as well as the profits from Viagra, were secretly invested there. I invited Professor Ni Guangnan, as well as a large number of mathematicians and physicists who returned from overseas."
"We are working on two things: one is chips, and the other is the Internet."
"chip?"
Liao Gong didn't understand these high-tech things, paused for a moment, and asked, "You mean that transistor in a radio?"
"Ten thousand times more complicated than that."
As Lin Huowang spoke, he gestured to a size the size of a fingernail and said, "It's about engraving millions or tens of millions of circuits on this little thing."
In the future, our cars will use it to control their engines, our missiles will use it to locate targets, and even ordinary people will use it to watch TV and make phone calls in their homes.
"Western countries have now set up a 'COCOM' (Committee on Coordination of Member States of America) and are preparing to impose a strict blockade on us."
"Then let's do it ourselves! While the gap isn't too big yet, I have the money and the manpower, let's just go for it! Let's forge a Chinese chip!"
"As for the Internet... that's too complicated. Just think of it as... a huge network that connects all the computers in the world. In the future, we won't need to send telegrams anymore. On that network, we can send a message to the United States in a second."
"We are developing standards and working on Chinese agreements. This time, we can't just follow the foreigners anymore; we have to set our own rules!"
Although Liao Gong had heard Lin Huowang talk about chips and networks for more than a year, he still only vaguely understood them, but he did understand their importance.
Lin Huowang is playing a grand game! A game that could determine the fate of the nation!
"Good! Good lad!"
Liao Gong patted Lin Huowang's shoulder heavily as he spoke, "Although I don't understand what you're saying, as long as it's good for the country, just do it! If the sky falls, we old bones will hold it up for you!"
...
The two had just finished their conversation when a louder burst of firecrackers and cheers suddenly erupted downstairs.
"The auspicious time has arrived! The offline ceremony begins!"
Lin Huowang and Liao Gong exchanged a glance and then quickly went downstairs.
The entrance to the final assembly workshop was already packed with people.
Beneath this expanse of red silk, two brand-new cars stood quietly, radiating an aura of imposing power.
With a loud shout from the old factory director, Huo Qingyun, "Unveil the curtain!"
The red silk slipped down.
boom!
The entire venue erupted in cheers!
The car on the left is entirely black, with remarkably smooth and long lines.
It retains the dignified front face of the previous Hongqi sedan, while incorporating the British elegance of Rover sedans in its design. On the front of the car, there are two silver Chinese characters - "Zhonghua" (中华) logo, which shines brightly in the sunlight.
The one on the right is an even more imposing military green off-road vehicle.
Looking at its tall body and rugged lines, it can be said to have inherited the pure Land Rover Defender lineage, but it has also undergone Lin Huowang's careful improvements, making the chassis higher and more suitable for the bad roads in most parts of China.
Its logo is "Dragon Guardian"!
"This is the car we built ourselves!"
"It's so beautiful! It's even more impressive than those imported Toyota Crowns!"
Many of the older workers were moved when they saw the two vehicles, and some even secretly wiped away tears.
Lin Huowang stepped forward without hesitation, opened the door of the "Zhonghua" sedan, got in, and started the engine in one smooth motion.
"Buzz!"
When that deep and powerful engine roared out, one could immediately tell that it was the unique roar of a large-displacement engine.
"What a nice car!"
Liao Gong sat down in the passenger seat with a big smile, patting the leather seat and praising it repeatedly, saying, "This is much more comfortable and stable than my old Hongqi!"
...
The entire factory was filled with jubilation as everyone celebrated this historic moment.
At the main gate of the FAW factory, a slightly discordant incident was taking place.
"Go away! Go somewhere else if you want food! We have a big celebration at our factory today, don't get in the way! You're bad luck!"
A security officer was rudely shoving a middle-aged man who looked like a beggar.
The man was in his thirties, wearing a faded, patched old Zhongshan suit and a pair of mud-covered liberation shoes.
He was carrying a dirty snakeskin bag on his back, and his hair was a mess. He really did look like a beggar fleeing famine.
"Comrade! I'm really not a beggar!"
The "beggar" clutched the snakeskin bag tightly to his chest, then, speaking in a difficult-to-understand southern dialect, shouted anxiously, his forehead covered in sweat:
"I'm from Xiaoshan, Zhejiang! My name is Lu Guanqiu! I'm here to deliver samples to FAW!"
"These are universal joints made in my own factory! The quality is exceptional! I'm sure they're better than the ones you're using now! I just want to meet your factory manager and let him take a look! Just one look is enough!"
"What Lu Guanqiu? What universal joint?"
The security officer wouldn't listen to him. He stepped forward and grabbed him, saying, "You're just a small township enterprise, and you think you're qualified to deliver goods to FAW? We use parts from state-owned factories! Get out of here! If you don't leave, I'll have you arrested!"
