#295 - Industrial expansion plan begins
The development of radios made Ren Zhong see the opportunity for broadcasting. In fact, in the main world, there was a time when broadcasting was the true media overlord.
The current popularity of radio sales has also made Ren Zhong see this opportunity and start planning to enter this industry, combining it with the radio business for promotion.
According to the requirement of nationwide radio coverage, Dawn Research Institute will develop a set of shortwave radio transmitting equipment for radio stations, which can effectively cover an area within a 3,000-kilometer range for listening to the radio. At the same time, it will also develop a set of medium-wave radio transmitting equipment for small-scale regional broadcasting within a 300-kilometer range.
In terms of shortwave long-distance transmission, it is enough for radios in most parts of Asia to receive the signal. Combined with the shortwave transistor radios developed by Ren Zhong, a wide range of broadcasting services can be achieved.
And medium-wave broadcasting will be carried out as a city broadcasting business.
For Ren Zhong, this is a new field, but he doesn't take it too seriously. After making a plan, he throws it to his subordinates to start research.
Now that his ideas have formed a research and promotion plan, there are naturally suitable candidates to implement it.
In the process of implementation, Ren Zhong only needs to pay attention to the progress.
At present, the technical difficulty of implementing this plan is not high. For the radio research team of Dawn Research Institute, this is a piece of cake.
Although making money from broadcasting is very good and can support Ren Zhong's huge research plan, the radio product is estimated to last for another 10 years. After all, the core technology of transistors is currently in the hands of Dawn Research Institute. Even if others want to copy it, they have no way to do so.
The reported patent technology does not have particularly detailed process instructions, so naturally no one can crack it so quickly. Therefore, from now on, Dawn Research Institute can be considered the first to get a taste of the transistor radio field.
When other companies develop transistors, on the one hand, they can be restricted by patent technology fees, and on the other hand, they can use price advantages to crush latecomers in price wars.
Don't look down on the fact that a radio currently costs dozens of silver dollars. Once the scale increases and the transistor technology matures, it will not be too difficult to reduce the price of a radio to below 20 silver dollars.
In fact, within a few years of launching transistor radios, the price of Rogue Eagle's transistor radios also dropped significantly from $49.95 to below $30, which triggered the popularization of radios.
The current development path is also similar.
It's just that the current production price of transistors is not yet so cheap. The immaturity of the transistor production line and process leads to relatively high production costs.
However, with continuous error correction and maturation during the mass production process, the cost of transistors will drop significantly before long.
Compared to radios, Ren Zhong is actually more concerned about the progress of transistors in radar and computers.
For him, business is certainly important. Only by walking on two legs, scientific research and business, can he be more stable in the future.
But surpassing the current strongest air combat technology level is what Ren Zhong pursues.
Without hard goods in hand, no matter how much money radios make, they will eventually end up working for others.
The two most core components of the new generation of fighter jets, jet engines and airborne radar, have not yet been broken through, which makes Ren Zhong somewhat uneasy.
A hundred-year navy. In terms of the navy, Ren Zhong can only do his best to improve the foundation now, but the navy really can't be rushed. Many things require precipitation.
Being able to thoroughly understand steam turbines, solve the core power system of ships, and then make breakthroughs in radar to achieve maritime early warning radar and fire control radar, and put missiles on warships, that would be the navy's greatest achievement.
However, even if Ren Zhong provides very detailed drawings and functional descriptions, it will take at least 5 years to start and 10 years as a cycle in reality.
At present, the choice of first-generation fighter jets is still relatively large, and many aircraft materials can be bought from the main world.
Ren Zhong also bought several sets of design data for second-generation and third-generation fighter jets, but after looking at the data, although he is not a professional, he also feels that he should not be too ambitious at this stage.
Fighter jets exceeding Mach 2 are still a bit far from now. For the time being, he will still work on first-generation fighter jets and complete the challenge of breaking the sound barrier first.
Even if the first generation of supersonic fighter jets is to be built, it is not an easy task.
After all, starting from the first generation of supersonic fighter jets, fighter jets gradually began to use a large number of titanium alloy components.
This problem is also very troublesome for Ren Zhong. He knows that the largest vanadium-titanium magnetite mine is in the Panxi area, which is now in the rear of the Guofu.
Fortunately, Chengde has now been occupied, and there are also several hundred million tons of vanadium-titanium magnetite reserves here. In the short term, it is basically enough, but there are still many problems from mining to smelting. The extraction of titanium requires much higher technology than iron smelting.
This is just a problem with raw materials. The real thorny issue is the processing of titanium alloys, which is a world-class problem. Even in the twenty-first century of the main world, this problem is still very cutting-edge.
The mainstream process for processing titanium alloys in the main world mainly relies on casting and forging.
Although forging and cutting have good precision, the manufacturing of parts is seriously wasteful, and 95% of the raw materials will be cut off as waste.
Moreover, the size of forged titanium alloys is strictly limited: a 30,000-ton large hydraulic press can only forge parts no more than 0.8 square meters, and even the world's largest 80,000-ton hydraulic press, which is a die forging press, cannot forge parts larger than 4.5 square meters. Moreover, neither of these two technologies can manufacture complex titanium alloy components, and welding will encounter the terrible titanium alloy corrosion phenomenon.
For Ren Zhong, this is almost an impossible challenge.
The cutting-edge technology for titanium alloy processing now is not something that can be easily solved by throwing money at it. All the advanced technology involved is top-secret information, the kind you can't buy even if you spend money.

So Ren Zhong can only take a step back and honestly engage in the early rough forging and cutting processing technology of Rogue Eagle and Da Mao. Fortunately, this is no longer a secret to the main world, and Ren Zhong can get the relevant technology by paying money.
However, in terms of large hydraulic presses, Ren Zhong is continuing to move in two directions. One is to prepare to develop a 30,000-ton to 40,000-ton die forging press, which is to solve the most cutting-edge large structure forging processing in heavy industry. In the main world, Rogue Eagle built two of the world's largest 45,000-ton die forging hydraulic presses around 1955, which have been used until the twenty-first century, and can be called super processing equipment that is old and strong;
The other direction is that Ren Zhong is researching free forging hydraulic presses, which is too important for industrial forging processing applications. The current 10,000-ton hydraulic press has too many limitations.
There is no need for the indicators to be too high first. First, get a 10,000-ton free forging hydraulic press on the current basis, which will greatly improve work efficiency for Ren Zhong's heavy industry development plan. As for the larger one, the main world has already developed a 15,000-ton free forging hydraulic press, and Ren Zhong can refer to this and continue to work hard in this world.
With the capture of North China, Ren Zhong's thinking began to diverge. Heavy industry certainly needs to continue to be brave and enterprising, and there is no room for relaxation now, but in terms of light industry and the chemical industry, it is now time to take off.
Needless to say, the chemical industry's fertilizer sector is planned according to the scale of high-yield fields to improve crop yields and improve soil quality. In addition to the currently produced nitrogen fertilizers, it has begun to increase to various types of chemical fertilizer products such as phosphate and potash fertilizers to improve different soils in different regions. Ren Zhong will comprehensively formulate this area with the experience and lessons learned from the main world, combined with agricultural experts from this world, and will not blindly overuse it.
It should be known that improper use of chemical fertilizers can also cause soil degradation. In this regard, Ren Zhong will scientifically plan the dosage and usage from the beginning. Even if the current farmers do not understand, just strictly follow the weight ratio he provides, and there is no need for farmers to freely play.
The second aspect of the chemical industry is the large-scale production of polymer materials, which are used in the manufacture of plastics, rubber, synthetic fibers, coatings and other fields. From industrial applications to civilian products, including automobile tires, ships, industrial pipelines, buildings, automobiles, bags, furniture and other fields, it covers all aspects related to daily life. Especially now that the shortage of cotton has caused a large shortage of clothing.
Four hundred million compatriots are short of food and clothing. Now we must rely on chemical fertilizers and hybrid seeds to solve the problem of eating, and the large-scale production of polymer materials will solve the problem of lack of clothing. These are all indispensable livelihood issues.
In Ren Zhong's plan, it is second only to the importance of heavy industry weapon manufacturing.
The third aspect of the chemical industry is the petrochemical industry. This is like the blood that industrialization inevitably needs, and the compounds extracted from oil include gasoline, diesel, and lubricating oil. It is necessary for machinery such as automobiles, airplanes, and ships.
Others are not clear about our country's oil situation, but Ren Zhongmen is clear, and the layout for this area has already begun.
The occupation of North China and the launch of the Northeast strategy completely eliminated the last threat to our development of the petrochemical industry.
In Ren Zhong's plan, the extension of the Yanchang Oilfield and the victory of the Shengli Oilfield have begun on a large scale.
This set of processes has been very mature. Now that the development of the petrochemical industry has been let go, the progress is more rapid than expected. There is basically no suspense that the output of Yanchang Oilfield will double, and the capacity planning of Dawn Petrochemical has also been increased to the 300,000-ton level;
Another new oil field, the first oil well in Shengli Oilfield, has drilled out oil under the guidance of Ren Zhong's precise well location and depth!
The fully deployed development plan for more than a dozen oil wells is being carried out in an orderly manner in the import of Rogue Eagle equipment. The Shengli Chemical Industry under construction is planned according to one million tons, and the first phase of production is 100,000 tons.
A new blueprint for industrialization is being redrawn from North China to Northeast China!
