Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 1994: Great Development Leap Forward to (Part )

The success of the arms business in the Middle East has given the base a large amount of funds, and various projects have been put into operation directly. For example, Lu Shaohua ordered the production of two more nuclear submarines to protect the safe use of oil transportation. Four more frigates were also added to build an iron barrel-like defense circle around the oil tankers.

In addition, Lu Shaohua also ordered increased investment in the research and manufacture of long-range missiles. The so-called long-range missiles refer to missiles that can hit targets at long distances. By the 21st century, a long-range missile can hit a target halfway around the world.

With the technology of the 1990s, although long-range missiles are called long-range, the different times also mean different technology. It is impossible to hit half the earth, but the distance is not close either. It is still possible to hit a quarter of the earth.

The strength of military force is not for defeating the enemy, but for deterrence. Lu Shaohua now has a large family and a lot of money, but he has no power. If someone wants to touch him, it will happen in an instant.

Therefore, Lu Shaohua would not passively wait to be beaten. He wanted to develop his own power, just like in business. He wanted to develop oil, purchase oil fields, and store crude oil to increase his business influence.

The same goes for military power. When it develops to a certain point, Lu Shaohua will release information through some special channels, so that those individuals or countries who want to attack him will have to pay a price to withstand his attack.

Judging from Lu Shaohua's personality, he would never provoke anyone unless others provoked him. But once he is angered, the enemy will suffer a devastating blow just like the Falcon Mercenary Corps and the Skeleton Mercenary Corps in the past.

Lu Shaohua manufactured long-range missiles for defense and to protect the safety of the base. At the same time, he also used them to deter the enemy.

There is no way. Just as Lu Shaohua thought, now that he has a big family and a big business, it is too difficult for him to protect himself without a certain amount of power. In order to fulfill his dream, he had to do this. If he didn't do this, maybe he would face a cold blade or a bullet with Mars that day.

Lu Shaohua once thought about him and wondered if he was worrying too much, but after thinking it over, the answer he got in the end was that it is better to be prepared than to be unprepared. It is better to be safe than sorry.

Of course, long-range missiles are just missiles that can hit targets farther away, and their deterrent power is limited. Even if Lu Shaohua has thousands of long-range missiles, what can they do? The location of destruction is always limited.

If you want to have a greater deterrent effect, you have to have nuclear weapons. Nuclear weapons are a general term for weapons that use the energy released by self-sustaining nuclear fission or fusion reactions to produce explosions and have large-scale destructive effects.

In the 235s, there were two types of nuclear weapons: the atomic bomb and the hydrogen bomb. The atomic bomb was mainly made using the fission chain reaction principle of heavy atomic nuclei such as uranium 235 (u-239) or plutonium 239 (pu), and was usually called an atomic bomb.

What about hydrogen bombs? Hydrogen bombs are thermonuclear weapons or fusion weapons made mainly by the thermonuclear reaction principle of light atomic nuclei such as heavy hydrogen (d, deuterium {dāo}) or super heavy hydrogen (t, tritium {chuān}), usually called hydrogen bombs.

The energy released when coal, oil and other mineral fuels are burned comes from the chemical reaction of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. The energy released when general chemical weapons such as TNT explode comes from the decomposition reaction of compounds. In these chemical reactions, the nuclei of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other atoms have not changed, but the combination state between the atoms has changed. Nuclear reactions are different from chemical reactions. In nuclear fission or nuclear fusion reactions, the nuclei involved in the reaction are transformed into other nuclei, and the atoms have also changed. Therefore, people usually call this type of weapon atomic weapons. But in essence, it is the reaction and transformation of atomic nuclei, so it is more accurate to call it nuclear weapons.

In addition to atomic bombs and hydrogen bombs, there is another type, which is nuclear warheads. Any weapon that can be equipped with nuclear warheads is also called a nuclear weapon, such as long-range missiles. If you add a nuclear warhead to a long-range missile, then this long-range missile becomes a nuclear weapon.

If one wants to have a greater deterrent, nuclear weapons are the best choice. Lu Shaohua also thought of this. However, manufacturing nuclear weapons is too shocking. Although Lu Shaohua has the technology, he does not want to manufacture it. Seeing the difficulties that may be encountered in the future, Lu Shaohua hesitated again.

This hesitation lasted for several years. When the oil plan was officially launched and the first batch of crude oil arrived in Africa, Lu Shaohua finally made a decision, which was to produce it.

Therefore, in early 1994, Lu Shaohua officially launched a subsidiary project of the oil project, the manufacture of nuclear weapons, the purpose of which was only for self-protection and nothing else.

Lu Shaohua just wants to fulfill his dream and build an economic empire, not for anything else.

Lu Shaohua once asked himself, is it a bit exaggerated to manufacture nuclear weapons? But the results show that it is not exaggerated at all. Although it seems that only one country has nuclear weapons, who knows whether an individual has nuclear weapons?

If someone stood up and said something, Lu Shaohua would definitely be the first to refute it. The reason was simple: for a family with a long history, how could they be passed down from generation to generation? If they had no support, they would probably have disappeared in the long river of history.

What is this reliance? Money? No, money is useless. Power, well, is somewhat useful, but it cannot guarantee that they will be passed down from generation to generation, because power sometimes disappears, so their only reliance is only one, that is military power.

Lu Shaohua wants to build an economic empire and hopes to pass it down from generation to generation, so he must have someone to rely on, and creating nuclear weapons becomes his only way to protect himself.

Fortunately, Lu Shaohua spent several years laying out the plan before the collapse of the Soviet Union, and now the time has finally come to pay off. There are no less than dozens of military weapons technologies stored in the base, including atomic bomb technology, hydrogen bomb technology, and the overlord of the sea, aircraft carriers.

However, Lu Shaohua has not yet ordered the manufacture of an aircraft carrier. The reason is very simple. The base is not close to the sea, and Lu Shaohua does not need this big guy, so he has not started manufacturing it for the time being.

The base has achieved all-round development. The arms have brought in a large amount of funds, allowing Lu Shaohua to start many projects. At the same time, he has also acquired three oil fields, two of which were obtained by paying money, and one by using a large number of arms and dispatching a thousand mercenaries to help suppress armed organizations.

With the three oil fields, Lu Shaohua felt much more relieved. However, all three oil fields were small and could not satisfy his appetite. He had to continue purchasing and exchanging oil fields, but for Lu Shaohua now, it was already a bit saturated.

Lu Shaohua would not do anything to get rich overnight. After acquiring three small oil fields, he ordered that the oil fields be abandoned and all arms were exchanged for funds to accelerate the development of the base.

Facts have shown that Lu Shaohua's decision was correct. In more than half a year, the arms created more than 30 billion US dollars in profits for the base, all of which Lu Shaohua invested in the base, and the results achieved were very significant.

The base had funds and could operate on its own, and Lu Shaohua finally felt relieved and began to turn to state investment, especially to cooperate with the state to build a base for producing civil aircraft. Preparations could be made as early as mid-1993, and it took only half a year to complete the construction and enter the stage of commissioning.

The country did not break its promise. When the base was put into use, the personnel were in place at the same time and the most advanced aircraft technology was brought out. Combined with the technology provided by Lu Shaohua, the two companies merged together, learned from each other's strengths and made up for each other's weaknesses. It took four months to finally produce an advanced civil aircraft.

As soon as the plane appeared, its advanced technology attracted many civil aviation companies, which came to purchase it. The order volume soared all of a sudden, which dealt a complete blow to the world's largest civil aircraft manufacturer - Boeing.

But Boeing had no choice. On the surface, the aircraft production base was a Chinese official company. No matter how powerful Boeing was, it could not confront the Chinese government. It could only swallow its anger and research advanced technologies, intending to use technology to take back the market that originally belonged to them.

But it is not that easy to take back the market. If they can do research, why can't we do the same? Similarly, after developing one aircraft, Lu Shaohua ordered the development of the second one. With strong technical support, it is a foregone conclusion that they will surpass Boeing. There is no suspense at all.

The civil aviation aircraft base was successful, but Lu Shaohua did not gain any benefits from it. He invested all the money in developing a new generation of aircraft without taking out any dividends. It seemed like a bottomless pit that required more money to be poured into.

Yes, it was like a bottomless pit, but Lu Shaohua was powerless at this time. The more than 420 billion US dollars he earned from Japan had been spent over the years. Now his company was penniless, with only a small amount of funds to maintain daily operations.

The reason for this situation was that Lu Shaohua established a communications company. Once the communications company was invested, the state officially started the project of building two satellites for Lu Shaohua within five years.

Building a communication satellite requires a lot of money, hundreds of billions of dollars need to be invested all at once. In addition, communication companies also need to invest a lot of money in infrastructure.

In addition, there is the development of mobile phones. This type of wireless phone is leading a trend and has become a communication tool that people carry with them. With Lu Shaohua's ability, he could have studied mobile phones, but Lu Shaohua did not do so. Instead, he skipped the mobile phones and directly targeted mobile phones.

The research started in the middle of 1993, and it has been more than a year now. The results are good, and according to the report, it is not far from successful development. As long as the mobile phone is developed, it means that Lu Shaohua's wireless communication company has officially started.

However, Lu Shaohua is not happy now, but has a headache. He is worried about the funding issue. Many projects are bottomless pits and still require him to invest money, but the problem is that he has no funds to invest now, which really gives him a headache.
