Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Dong Baiyu was so angry he wanted to grind his teeth.

I really wanted to rush up and kill Zhao Ruilong.

As long as Zhao Ruilong dies, the development speed of China's high-tech industry will inevitably slow down.

Then Japan still has a chance to catch up in its lagging industries and expand the advantages of its leading industries.

But in the banquet hall of Huilong Hotel, in front of countless people, how could he, unarmed and already middle-aged, possibly defeat the young and strong Zhao Ruilong?

Today, many big shots are gathered here, and the banquet hall is heavily guarded. If I really want to kill Zhao Ruilong, I would have to take advantage of his inattention and launch a close-range sneak attack. But even if I kill Zhao Ruilong, I will hardly escape death myself.

Such a life-for-life exchange has a high success rate, but is it really worth it?

The reason he betrayed his country and became a spy was so that one day he could immigrate to Japan with his family and enjoy the good life of a developed country.

If I lose my life, how can I bring my family to immigrate to Japan? Even if the Special Intelligence Division rewards me for sacrificing my life for Japan and allows my family to immigrate, I won't get to enjoy the benefits!

Also.

What's the point of killing Zhao Ruilong?

As a member of a powerful family and a capital tycoon, he led the country's industrial transformation and upgrading and rapid technological progress by investing in the research and development of various high-tech products and building major infrastructure projects.

He only needs to offer suggestions and funding, and strive for relevant supporting policies. He doesn't need to be personally responsible for the specific research and development, design, production, manufacturing, construction, etc. There are plenty of people below him to do the work.

So what's the point of killing him?

Without Zhao Ruilong, who has a forward-thinking vision, a powerful background, and is also very wealthy, will China's industry not develop and its technology not progress?

Without Zhao Ruilong's precise guidance and strong impetus, the development speed will only slow down a bit at most, but the rise of Chinese manufacturing is unstoppable.

Just like the many high-speed rail projects that are under construction across the country, will they stop being built without Zhao Ruilong?

With Zhao Ruilong dead, does the domestically produced large passenger aircraft, which has already successfully completed its maiden flight, no longer need to continue flight testing and airworthiness certification, and is it not planned to be mass-produced and launched on the market?

Behind each major national-level science and technology project lies the support of the entire nation's national strength and will.

Even without Zhao Ruilong, a large number of universities, research institutions, and state-owned enterprises are still there, as are hundreds of millions of scientific and technical personnel. Continuing to implement the project would not be difficult.

A great nation with over a billion people can continue to function even without anyone!

Just like even without Zhao Ruilong, his two older sisters are still around, and Huilong Group will not go bankrupt.

Even if the entire Zhao family were to perish, would the massive Huilong Group collapse instantly?

From Handong to Yanjing, some departments and units were able to step in in time to stabilize the situation, allowing Huilong Group, a leading high-tech enterprise in China, to continue operating.

In contrast.

Only by continuing to remain undercover, stealing more valuable intelligence for the Sakura Kingdom, and controlling news and public opinion to carry out cultural infiltration and invasion, and curb its development and rise, can one better realize their own value.

Thinking of this, Dong Baiyu quickly abandoned the idea of ​​sneaking up on and killing Zhao Ruilong.

Picking up the domestically produced large aircraft model in front of me, the more I looked at it, the more I felt that it was a perfect combination of the Boeing 737 and the Airbus A320.

"Zhao Ruilong, you're really shrewd, and you're really shameless!"

"Instead of copying or imitating one model, you integrate two classic aircraft models produced and delivered by the two aviation giants, Boeing and Airbus, which have produced and delivered thousands of aircraft."

"This way, it combines the advantages of both models while also being different from both, so no one will dare to accuse you of plagiarism; at most, they can only say that you are drawing inspiration from them!"

Dong Baiyu, who knew nothing about the industry, held a model airplane in his hand and inwardly raged.

He didn't care that after decades of development in the human aviation industry, the aerodynamic layout design of jet aircraft had been basically finalized.

This is a classic and mature design that has been finalized after a long period of extensive scientific testing, market validation, and even numerous air crashes.

In other words, regardless of the country, the design of civilian jet aircraft is fundamentally very similar under current technological and market conditions.

Even if Japan, the land of cherry blossoms, which he considers perfect, were to follow suit and develop a medium-sized civilian jet airliner, its appearance would inevitably resemble the Airbus A320 or Boeing 737.

Dong Baiyu only studied journalism and media, and not only did he not understand science and engineering at all, but he also hated his country. Naturally, he thought that if the appearance was roughly similar, it was plagiarism, without even looking at the details where they were very different.

He couldn't see things like supercritical airfoils or low-drag nose cones, so naturally he couldn't appreciate how good the detailed design was.

at the same time.

The newly appointed Director of the Civil Aviation Administration, Ma Yifeng, was also chatting with Zhao Ruilong, who was sitting next to him, while holding a model airplane.

He was originally just the Director of the Transport Department, but because the old director was holding back the approval of the international route between Xijinshan and Jingzhou, he met with Zhao Lichun, who took the initiative to come to his door to question him.

After the two became acquainted through this incident, at the beginning of the year, when the General Affairs Department carried out a new round of departmental restructuring, with Zhao Lichun's strong support, he was successfully promoted to director.

Logically speaking, it was impossible for him, who was only a director before, to suddenly become a bureau chief.

Another major reason for his meteoric rise was that during the restructuring of government departments, the Civil Aviation Administration of China was downgraded to the Civil Aviation Administration of China and became a subordinate unit of the General Administration of Transport.

The Civil Aviation Administration was downgraded from the General Administration of Civil Aviation to the Civil Aviation Administration of China, but for Ma Yifeng personally, it was a promotion, making him the head of Longmin Civil Aviation.

Ma Yifeng, who has a formal academic background and is passionate about developing the civil aviation industry, naturally knows how to reciprocate.

Having endured so many years of hardship, he knows all too well just how difficult it is to hurdle from a department-level position to a ministerial-level position.

Moreover, he didn't even take advantage of the rare opportunity presented by the strong overhaul of the civil aviation system, becoming the director directly without serving as deputy director for a transition period.

If this isn't instant success, what is it?

Therefore, after Ma Yifeng was promoted, his first task was to raise funds for the domestically produced large aircraft project, which was particularly expensive for scientific research and experimentation.

Under his leadership, COMAC received nearly 1 billion yuan in civil aviation research subsidies and 24 billion yuan in additional capital from state-owned assets and several central enterprises.

With this injection of funds, COMAC no longer needs to rely on Huilong Group for financial support, and Huilong Group can also invest its valuable funds in other projects.

His unwavering and passionate support for domestically produced large aircraft was naturally a gamble with his own political career.

If, in two or three years, the domestically produced large aircraft successfully obtains airworthiness certification and begins mass production and service, then it will not be difficult for him to advance further. Otherwise, his career will naturally come to an end.

However, having been in office for less than half a year, he has already visited COMAC in China three times for research, and today he personally witnessed the entire maiden flight process. Ma Yifeng is naturally full of confidence in the domestically produced large aircraft.

While the two were chatting, the other guests at the table took their seats one by one according to their names.

Sitting to Zhao Ruilong's right is Ren Hongguang, Director of the General Administration of Transport.

When his boss arrived, Ma Yifeng naturally stood up and greeted him with a smile.

Ren Hongguang has a background in mechanical engineering and extensive experience in local politics.

Before becoming the Director of the Transport Administration, Ren Hongguang was the Deputy Secretary of Yanjing City, which is equivalent to a local official being promoted to a ministerial-level leader.

Although his major was not directly related to the field, he was a reformist who dared to take action and was put in charge of transportation, which was to accelerate the implementation of the national strategy of building a strong transportation nation.

Ren Hongguang, who was decisive and efficient, had barely sat down when he spoke directly to Zhao Ruilong:

"Dean Wen was busy with official duties and has already returned to Yanjing. Before that, I discussed the draft regulations on rural road management with him."

"He believes that as we accelerate the implementation of the strategy of building a strong transportation nation, the construction of roads in rural areas is related to rural revitalization, and it is very necessary for you to formulate special regulations."

"However, he expressed a different opinion on the technical standards, believing that rural roads could adopt the standards of Class IV or higher highways, but village roads should be built according to the standards of Class IV highways."

“Especially in remote mountainous areas, where traffic flow is already low and the terrain is limited, building a Class IV highway would be very costly. He believes that a width of 3.5 meters is sufficient.”

“Anyway, the main means of transportation in rural areas are bicycles, motorcycles, tricycles and tractors. A 3.5-meter vehicle is sufficient to meet the needs of two small farm vehicles driving side by side, and the cost is relatively low.”

After hearing this, Zhao Ruilong quickly shook his head.

"No, Director Ren. As far as the traffic conditions in rural areas are concerned, a 3.5-meter-wide cement road can indeed meet the travel needs of the people, but what about in the future?"

"With rapid economic development, more and more rural residents are buying cars, which will inevitably affect traffic flow. Moreover, future expansion and construction will not only be very costly, but also very troublesome due to the need for secondary land acquisition..."

As a time traveler, Zhao Ruilong was well aware that the construction of rural roads required a forward-thinking approach.

If we only consider the present and focus on cost savings, it will be like a rural area in another world.

The construction of cement roads connecting every village initially greatly facilitated people's travel, but as the number of vehicles increased, so did the number of troublesome issues.

For example, during holidays, many people who work or do business in towns drive back to the countryside, and due to the narrow roads and the low quality of some drivers, traffic jams become severe.

Zhao Ruilong will never forget the time he drove with a friend to his rural hometown for a holiday, only to be stuck in traffic from day to night. The village roads were lined with cars, and it was impossible to move an inch without a car.

Furthermore, in order to save costs, guardrails are not installed on rural roads along water or cliffs, resulting in a large number of car accidents involving cars falling off cliffs and into water every year across the country, causing many injuries and deaths.

Originally intended to benefit rural residents, the road has instead drawn increasing criticism, especially during holidays when complaints are rampant. After relevant departments took notice and attempted large-scale upgrades, they have encountered numerous challenges.

Compared to the high cost of renovation and construction, the biggest problem is land acquisition, especially since many rural houses are built right next to rural roads. To widen the roads, the houses have to be demolished, making it impossible to carry out projects with already limited budgets.

and so……

Having transmigrated to this world, Zhao Ruilong certainly didn't want the Dragon Kingdom to implement the "Village-to-Village Connectivity Project," and due to his conservative thinking, he was even more reluctant to repeat the mistakes of the past.

When his father, Zhao Lichun, was in charge of Handong Province, Zhao Ruilong strongly suggested that rural roads should either not be built at all, or be completed in one go.

Don't think that just because there isn't much traffic right now and the construction budget is limited, you can just build a 3.5-meter-wide cement road and make do with it.

Rural roads that are not wide enough and lack guardrails and warning signs are destined to cause serious harm.

Zhao Ruilong also offered many suggestions regarding the construction of higher-level highways, including urban planning, to avoid repeating past mistakes.

For example, on highways like the one from Jingzhou to Tianhai, where traffic volume will inevitably be huge as the economy develops, if expansion is to be carried out, instead of being "stingy and conservative" by increasing the length from four to six, we should directly increase it from four to eight, or even increase it from four to ten in some sections.

The planning and construction of roads in large cities should also take into full account the future population surge. Various main urban roads should be as wide and faster as possible. When building bridges and tunnels, we should not only consider the rapid passage of motor vehicles, but also provide passages for non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians to avoid mixed traffic in the future, which would result in low efficiency and great hidden dangers.
