Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Looking at the bewildered and strange-looking people, Lin Kaifeng said calmly, "Since I promised Chief Mustafa that I would let him see the company's capabilities in solar power research, I will take care of all the subsequent developments."

"I have found a batch of technical information and documents about solar power generation through the port city, and these documents will be delivered here soon."

"I will be in charge of the research work myself. Let's move on to the next question."

Lin Kaifeng did not waste too much time discussing the issue of solar power generation.

Even if we talk about it for three days and three nights, we may not be able to understand its technical value and economic benefits.

With a stable source of funds, Lin Kaifeng is able to arrange many projects that have been planned for a long time in an orderly manner.

Investment in semiconductor research will continue to increase, and the scale of automobile production lines will also expand.

This year, Northern Machinery will focus on investing in two projects.

One is solar power generation and the other is drone manufacturing.

Seeing everyone's puzzled expressions again, Lin Kaifeng said: "You can use the drone as an aviation model. This product can be used not only in the civilian field, but also in the military field."

"I will report the specific project details to the leaders of the relevant departments, and you just need to work according to my arrangements."

After the meeting, Lin Kaifeng went to the branch factory to discuss the development of the SUV.

On the third day, Lin Kaifeng took the train to Beijing without stopping.

He personally reported the results of his work trip to the desert to the leaders of the First Ministry of Machine Building.

"Aren't you kidding me?"

First Ministry of Machine Building, Minister’s Office.

After listening to Lin Kaifeng's report, Wang Changsheng felt unbelievable.

Lin Kaifeng said with a smile: "Minister, I am not fooling you. It is fooling you if you say something but cannot do it. My company can complete the solar power generation technology."

“If we want desert countries to buy our oil equipment, we must first set an example.”

"Compared with other desert oil-producing countries that are highly valued by the West, Dicheng, formerly a small fishing village, is our best entry point."

In addition to Longguo, the West also has the ability to produce various types of oil refining equipment.

If you want to get a piece of the pie from them, you must be flexible.

"You are right, but everything depends on your ability to help Di City solve the problem of electricity supply."

"Comrade Lin Kaifeng, can your Northern Machinery Company really complete the relevant technical research on solar power generation within a year?"

Wang Changsheng said half-believingly.

"Absolutely no problem."

Lin Kaifeng replied confidently: "Minister, I came here to report my work to you and also to make an application to you."

"What application?"

Wang Changsheng said.

"I hope the ministry can help our company second a group of technical experts."

This time, the technical experts are different from the previous experts in semiconductors and electronic computers. Lin Kaifeng needs technicians in the fields of model aircraft and aviation.

"A technician in the field of model aircraft and aviation? What on earth do you want to do? Why are you interested in this?"

Wang Changsheng was completely stunned.

Northern Machinery Company is able to manufacture a variety of household appliances, mechanical equipment, and even cars.

Instead of continuing to focus on these projects, Lin Kaifeng turned his attention to the aviation field.

No matter how you look at it, it's not a proper job.

"Minister, please calm down and listen to what I have to say."

Lin Kaifeng said seriously: "I seconded the model aircraft experts and aviation experts not on a whim, but because I saw unlimited business opportunities in this area."

During the days he spent in Dicheng, Lin Kaifeng deeply felt how strong the influence of Western countries is on the desert area.

Longguo wants to open up the desert area, and Northern Machinery Company wants to gain commercial benefits in the desert countries.

Clashes with Western companies are inevitable.

At this stage, neither Long Guo nor Lin Kaifeng has anything to show for it, whether it is international influence or product brand awareness.

A large number of Western developed countries, led by the United States, have long regarded desert areas as inexhaustible money bags.

Various industrial commodities and technological products are sold to the local tyrants in the desert in an endless stream.

If you want to take food from them, you have to take a completely new path.

What is a brand new road?

Develop goods that the West cannot provide.

These commodities happen to be what the desert countries need.

Drones became Lin Kaifeng’s first choice.

The desert countries have large armies, but their combat effectiveness is very low.

Even though there are dozens of countries in the desert region, only a few of them can fight tough battles.

We have all kinds of modern weapons and equipment but lack the courage to fight the enemy.

Without courage, even the best weapons will be useless.

Drones that can participate in combat will demonstrate performance that is different from other weapons and equipment.

Dispatch drones to participate in military operations through remote control.

It can not only effectively attack the enemy, but also ensure one's own safety.

Avoid the unfavorable situation of the entire army being disintegrated.

Although it is impossible to produce a military drone that is exactly the same as the ones in the future, Lin Kaifeng still has a way to produce a simplified version of the military drone with similar performance.

Several core parts: chips, processors, sensors, batteries, and body materials.

Lin Kaifeng can solve most of them.

As for the rest, they are shipped through overseas channels established by Northern Machinery Company.

The problem can be fully solved through formal import and secret introduction.

Ten minutes later, Wang Changsheng lit a cigarette and paced back and forth in the office with his hands behind his back.

Wang Changsheng could understand everything Lin Kaifeng said if he broke it down into individual sentences.

Putting all these things together, Wang Changsheng had only one feeling: incredible.

No matter how Lin Kaifeng introduced the advanced performance of the drone, to Wang Changsheng, a drone was no different from a model aircraft.

Longguo already has the concept of drones.

But it is fundamentally different from the drone described by Lin Kaifeng.

Drones are indeed military equipment, but they are not combat weapons.

Large drones will be used as targets for fighter jets.

As for being put into the battlefield and turned into recyclable military weapons, Wang Changsheng had never heard of it.

I guess the heads of other industrial departments have never heard of such technology.

"Minister, drones can be used not only in military operations, but also in geological exploration, environmental protection, forest inspections, border patrols, and other areas."

Lin Kaifeng patiently introduced: "The north has a long border, a large amount of forest vegetation, and various types of mineral resources. Once the research on drones is successful, the staff of the relevant departments can use drones to perform a series of tasks that cannot be done by manpower."

Even though Lin Kaifeng introduced it many times, Wang Changsheng still didn't quite understand.
