The country is currently researching nuclear weapons in the middle of the desert, which is a top state secret. Leader Xiao didn't dare to answer immediately.
Leader Jing patted Lin Sanqi's shoulder affectionately and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, Comrade Lin Sanqi is one of us, and some information is completely open to him."
When Lin Sanqi heard this, his legs went weak. This was a great honor, the kind that would make his ancestors' graves smoke green smoke.
Although Lin Sanqi knew that this was a means to win people's hearts, he was still very moved and became more determined to transport advanced technology from another time and space for the country.
Seeing no objection, Leader Xiao smiled and explained:
"As early as 1954, with the help of the Soviet Union, my country first assembled and manufactured a new generation of Type 03 submarines at the Jiangnan Shipyard in Shanghai, although we claimed to the outside world that we had the ability to independently produce submarines.
But, ahem, in fact, we simply took the Soviet parts and assembled them, so it is embarrassing to say it. Now we have fallen out with the Soviet Union, and they don't provide parts, so we have stopped producing submarines.
"But Comrade Sanqi, don't worry. Just because we can't produce it doesn't mean we've given up. We've been researching submarines and have even secretly started developing nuclear submarines. We're just waiting for our nuclear technology to be fully developed before we can start producing them."
Lin Sanqi smiled and said:
"Leader Xiao, you have all the parts for the submarine, and the blueprints too, right?"
Leader Xiao's face suddenly turned red at this time:
"Yes, the Soviets gave us all the blueprints. But before they left, Soviet engineers said that my country lacked the metal materials and processing technology. If we want to build our own domestically produced submarines, we will have to wait at least 100 years!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone in the warehouse became furious and started shouting:
"Bullshit!"
"Exactly, a bunch of bastards, they just want to suck our blood all day long, and they won't even give us the core technology!"
"We were able to defeat the United States back then, and we can still defeat the Soviet Union. What are they?"
At this time, Lin Sanqi said to Leader Jing who was frowning beside him:
"I heard that the Americans have very advanced sonar technology. Every time a Soviet submarine goes underwater, the loud noise made by the propellers is clearly detected by the Americans. Nothing can escape their detection. So the Soviet submarine technology is actually just that good."
When Navy leader Xiao heard this, he gloated and said:
"Comrade Xiaolin is right. The role of a submarine is like a lurking wolf, quietly hiding on the side and biting you at the critical moment, making you unable to defend yourself.
"Soviet submarines, for example, are completely exposed to the American public, completely defeating their purpose of concealment. If a war were to break out, these submarines would become sitting ducks."
This is actually a bit sour.
After all, at this time, China cannot even build submarines independently, which is completely a case of the pot calling the kettle black.
Lin Sanqi pointed to the five-axis machining center in the center of the warehouse and said with a smile:
"But this machine is amazing. We've done experiments and found that the propellers produced by the five-axis machine tool are very quiet. For example, the noise level of the Soviet Union's first-generation nuclear submarines, the N-class and Victor-class submarines, was 160 to 172 decibels.
The noise level of the US Navy's first-generation nuclear submarines, the Nautilus, the Ray, and the Leaping Fish, was 150 to 170 decibels, and by the Virginia-class and Seawolf-class submarines, it had dropped to 95 decibels.
The noise mainly comes from the rotating propeller and the power shaft that drives the propeller blades to rotate. The US approach is to convert the four-blade propeller into a seven-blade propeller and change the installation angle to a large inclination design to reduce the generation of air cannons, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing noise.
Furthermore, all US submarines are built using four-axis machine tools, but the machine tools you see here are five-axis, more advanced than those used by the US. "Leader Xiao could definitely take a five-axis machine tool back home and give it a try."
When Leader Xiao heard this, his eyebrows trembled with joy:
"Okay, okay, Comrade Kobayashi's words give me the confidence to reduce the decibel level of our submarine to the minimum and absolutely prevent it from being detected by the enemy's sonar."
At this time, a professor in the crowd raised another difficulty:
"We now have the tools to make submarine parts, but we still lack metal materials. Special steels and titanium alloys used in submarines cannot be produced domestically, and foreign countries have embargoed their imports to us. How can we solve this problem?"
There was a buzz of discussion in the warehouse again.
A good horse needs a good saddle, and a good knife needs good steel. This is a truth that everyone understands.
For iron vessels like submarines that need to lurk on the seabed and withstand enormous pressure, ordinary metals cannot be used at all.
It's useless to use it. As the submarine sinks, the pressure will become greater and greater, and it may be compressed into an iron ball, and then it will be doomed.
Leader Jing chuckled at this time. He had seen through everything long ago and didn't believe that Lin Sanqi would speak without purpose.
"Comrade Sanqi, please stop being so naive. You've even managed to get advanced machine tools like this, which even Americans don't have. I doubt you haven't thought of special steel. So, are you planning on giving us a surprise?"
Lin Sanqi scratched his head, looking like a harmless young man:
"Leader Jing, I can't hide it from you."
When these words came out, Leader Jing's expression did not change, and he just smiled. But the eyes of the others in the warehouse lit up, and they understood.
Leader Yu, the top leader of the Guangzhou Military Region, said with a smile:
"Good boy, Xiaolin, when we handed this over to you, we wanted you to help us buy some machine tools and a few tons of alloys, but you gave us such a big surprise. Tell us quickly, what did you bring us?"
Lin Sanqi coughed lightly under everyone's expectant gaze.
"Dear leaders and professors, this time I've really caught a big fish. Let me put it this way: I can get 15 of these advanced five-axis machine tools, and more if you want."
In addition, I have acquired over 2,000 four-axis and three-axis machine tools. These are absolutely at the forefront of the world, at least surpassing the existing technology in the United States."
After hearing this, Leader Jing finally lost his composure and grabbed Lin Sanqi's hand:
"Are you serious?"
Lin Sanqi nodded heavily: "Seriously!"
"Not only can I get machine tools, I can also get 10,000 tons of peptide alloys, 10,000 tons of aluminum alloys, and 10,000 tons of magnesium alloys. This is just the first batch, and if needed, we can get more."
In China in 2014, all kinds of alloys had already reached a complete oversupply.
When he went to the steel market to purchase, the dealers would take the initiative to lower the prices, one lower than the other, which was a completely malicious price war.
As soon as Lin Sanqi finished speaking, the professors of various subjects and the men in green military uniforms at the scene were all excited.
Leader Jing was most familiar with Lin Sanqi, so he urged:
"Comrade Sanqi, what are you thinking? Hurry up and get the machines and alloys. They are extremely important to our country. With machine tools and special steel, our industry can develop greatly, greatly."
Leader Jing looked at Lin Sanqi with a burning gaze, and suddenly came to his senses.
As expected, he was smart and immediately realized where the problem lay, which made it difficult for Lin Sanqi to agree.
So Lin Sanqi was pulled into a small room next to it. Only Leader Jing and Lin Sanqi were in the room. It was obvious that this was a secret conversation.
"Comrade Sanqi, I know you have your difficulties, but it's all about money. After all, these things are not yours personally.
Tell me, if we want to get these machine tools and special steels, what do we need to pay?
Let me tell you a secret. Currently, our country's foreign exchange reserves are only 70 million US dollars. Most of this is due to you. Otherwise, we would have even less foreign exchange.
We also have gold reserves of 3 million ounces, or about 85 tons. This is all we have, but for a country, this amount of foreign exchange and gold is far from enough.
The key point is that these gold and US dollars are the ballast of our national economy. If we give them all to you, all trade will have to stop, and even our RMB will become a piece of blank paper.
So, Comrade Sanqi, I will do my best to give you $40 million and 40 tons of gold. Can you find a way to get us some machine tools and a few tons of special steel?
When Lin Sanqi heard this, he felt a little guilty, because he was in the smuggling business and had obtained almost 100 tons of gold from the old people in the capital, which was more than the national treasury.
Although Leader Jing didn't put any pressure on him, every word he said made Lin Sanqi feel suffocated.
Even if he was a novice in economics, he knew that in this era, the issuance of banknotes was linked to gold and silver.
If Lin Sanqi took away half of the country's gold, the country's currency would collapse at the slightest sign of trouble, it would lose its credit, and the country's economy would be ruined.
Leader Jing almost said, "I have placed the economic lifeline of the entire country on you. You must get me the most and best machine tools and special steels, right?"
This is a blatant conspiracy.
Even though Lin Sanqi is a time traveler and does not have much sense of belonging to this era, he is also a generation that grew up under the red flag. How can he be heartless and ungrateful?
Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi made up his mind: "I can give him the machine tools and special steel, but he has to have a condition." (End of this chapter)
