Chapter 234: Fighting against each other
After discussing with the three Mr. Qians, it was decided to set up institutes code-named 101, 102, and 103 respectively.
Qian Sanqiang, director of the 101 Institute, was responsible for researching nuclear bombs and nuclear energy applications. Deng Jiaxian and Yu Min studied and worked at the 101 Institute.
Qian Xuesen, director of the 102 Institute, was responsible for missile research.
Qian Weichang, director of the 103rd Institute, is responsible for researching jet fighters.
Li Yunlong and Wang Meng equipped the three research institutes with the strongest security forces, and also assigned special guards to important scientific researchers, with the aim of ensuring that no problems arise in the three research institutes.
Lin Shubing recruited politically reliable and academically capable students for the three research institutes at Pingshun University to ensure a continuous supply of talent for various research projects.
After arranging the three research institutes, Wang Meng immediately transferred the automobile production line and electronic component production line to the Vehicle Research Institute and the Electronic Research Institute respectively.
The research institute that got the production line was overjoyed and gave Wang Meng a military order to create productivity within three months.
Then, Wang Meng distributed the instruments and equipment that each research institute needed to purchase to each research institute one by one.
In addition, some of the goods purchased by the special forces were handed over to the factories belonging to the independent column, requiring them to imitate them as much as possible and then innovate independently.
In short, Pingshun must speed up to catch up with Western countries.
"Friends from the Academy of Sciences, Pingshun University, and the business community, you should feel that the burden on your shoulders is heavy when you receive these equipment and products. We soldiers are responsible for defending our country and driving away the Japanese invaders. You are responsible for improving China's scientific and technological strength and enriching our product structure. Let's work hard on our own!"
Wang Meng then made a promise that no matter whether it was the business community or the Academy of Sciences, whether they needed equipment or samples, he, Wang Meng, would definitely get them!
With the support of the Independence Column, people from all walks of life in Pingshun were ready to do a great job, whether for national rejuvenation or for their own wallets. In short, Pingshun seemed to have been equipped with an accelerator and rushed forward.
Wang Meng and Zhao Gang then went to the Institute of Biology and the Institute of Mechanical Engineering to replicate as many production lines as possible to ensure that they would completely occupy the global penicillin market in a short period of time.
Because he didn't have much time left. Once Country M developed a method to mass produce penicillin, his "money-making tool" would lose its value.
Therefore, he must use penicillin to accumulate more wealth before that.
"Director Tang Feifan, this is part of the profit from the sale of penicillin. I will give you $200,000. You can share what you deserve and upgrade your equipment. In short, the more you work, the more you get!"
Tang Feifan rubbed his hands. This was the first time he saw the rewards brought by technological output.
"Chief of Staff Wang, rest assured, we will continue to work hard to increase the production of penicillin and create more profits for Pingshun!"
Wang Meng turned his attention to Gu Yuchen, director of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering.
"Director Gu, don't be jealous. When you work with Director Tang to replicate the production line, you will get 10% of the profits! The same goes for the production lines of other research institutes. You will earn as much as you replicate!"
Wang Meng is full of confidence. How can you resist the sense of accomplishment brought by new research breakthroughs and the money brought by scientific and technological progress?
Zhao Gang looked at the stacks of US dollars and chatted with Tang Feifan and Gu Yuchen again.
"Two directors, your penicillin factory is now the most profitable production line, and of course there is also Professor Zhou Ren's gun production line. However, some research institutes are not profitable at the moment, and they require a lot of investment, so please understand!"
Tang Feifan immediately expressed his opinion.
"Political Commissar Zhao, we all understand. In Chongqing, not to mention bonuses, even basic living standards are not guaranteed. Everyone is already very satisfied!"
Gu Yuzhen also expressed his full support for the smooth progress of this era's carriage.
"By the way, Director Tang and Director Gu, the production line must be kept confidential. Only the two of you know the process and procedures of the entire production line! Once this batch of penicillin is on the market, it will definitely attract the attention of the international community, and then you will be targeted!"
Tang Feifan nodded. The game between the big powers was far more intense and dirty than imagined.
Zhao Gang specially transferred an infantry company from the garrison regiment of the military industrial base to strengthen the guard of the penicillin factory.
After finishing his work, Wang Meng finally had time to lie down on his bed, close his eyes and prepare to rest.
At this moment, the handheld terminal flashed and another message popped up.
[Congratulations on establishing the Nuclear Bomb Research Institute. Reward: Unlock the C-54 Skymaster transport aircraft, 100 points per aircraft.]
Wang Meng was delighted. He was exhausted from running around for the past few months. If he had a transport plane, he could quickly deploy troops and increase the efficiency of cargo transportation.
With the C-54 transport aircraft's maximum speed of 400 kilometers per hour, it is possible to get from Kunming to Pingshun in one day!
The C-54 transport plane has a crew of four: a captain, a co-pilot, a navigator and a cargo captain.
The maximum speed is 441 kilometers per hour, and it can fly 6276 kilometers with a full tank of fuel.
It can carry 50 soldiers or 15 tons of cargo.
Transport aircraft with this performance can currently fully meet the needs of the independent column.
Early the next morning, Wang Meng immediately arrived at Pingshun Military Airport.
"Captain Lu, how are the pilots training in Qingyang flying their trainer planes?"
"I flew to Qingyang a few days ago, and it's basically done. Now they are going to continue to expand the bomber fleet or the fighter fleet?"
Wang Meng took stock of the aviation division's planes.
There are currently two fighter squadrons, with a total of sixty F6F Hellcat fighters.
A bomber group, a total of thirty B-17 Flying Fortress bombers.
The sixty or so pilots who are currently undergoing training on trainer aircraft can form a new C-54 transport aircraft squadron.
"Neither the bomber squadron nor the fighter squadron!"
Lu Tianlong was a little confused. Wasn't the independent column short of pilots? Why didn't they use the trained pilots? Could it be that the current number of aircraft was insufficient?
"Chief of Staff, are we facing any difficulties? If not, let them continue to practice with the trainer aircraft, and the students behind them can put more pressure on them!"
Wang Meng waved his hands hurriedly. What does this have to do with anything?
"Captain Lu, the speed of pilot training needs to be accelerated! Of course, it must be accelerated under the premise of ensuring safety!"
"Aren't there enough planes? Are you planning to let the pilots serve as navigators or gunners?"
"Oh my god, Commander Lu, your idea is absurd. Letting pilots be navigators and gunners? This is ridiculous!"
