Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry

The Academy of Sciences was just one aspect of Ren Zhong's future planning. In terms of operational mechanisms, the highest management level of the Academy adopted a professional committee management model.

These eleven individuals were basically well-known professors or vice-chancellors from the top 100 universities in the country, publicly elected by the professors of these top 100 universities every five years.

Their role was to decide on the candidates for the president and vice-president of the Academy, as well as the Academy's total budget, and to determine the ten most important basic research projects of the Academy.

Then, under this committee, the president was responsible for the daily operation and management, and all the funding for the Academy's projects came from the national special scientific research budget.

Because these were all basic theoretical research, many of the results could not be converted into economic benefits. Can you imagine how much money you would make from researching the violation of parity conservation? This is not a product or service that can be immediately monetized.

Rather, it is a small step in exploring the mysteries of the universe.

Theoretical research cannot focus on economic benefits, let alone be driven by economic benefits.

The professional committee management system is currently used by the Dawn Research Institute. Although Ren Zhong still has the final say for now, in the past ten years, in addition to still providing new product ideas and a large amount of reference materials, the daily management and project operation of the Dawn Research Institute have been operating normally under the management of this committee.

According to this model, if it also runs successfully at the Academy of Sciences, Ren Zhong will be very relieved about the future development of the Dawn Research Institute.

As a domestic independent scientific research institution, the management of the professional committee can ensure that it will not lose its direction or decline rapidly due to the short-sightedness of an individual.

On the contrary, the constantly changing committees are basically composed of the most visionary scientists of the time, maintaining the highest level of scientific management at that time.

Such a mechanism is more reliable than sending someone from a higher authority. Even if a few less capable members are selected to fill the ranks, the overall result will still ensure that most of the suitable people are placed in decision-making positions.

In the two internal automatic elections in the past ten years, Ren Zhong did not interfere with the election process at all. The results showed that all eleven members of the Dawn Research Institute's management committee were very competent, and even all eleven were re-elected, which showed that this group of people on the committee had received a high degree of recognition from within the Dawn Research Institute.

In recent years, Ren Zhong has been constantly reducing the number of directly designated projects, allowing the research groups of the Dawn Research Institute to decide on the research projects and budgets themselves. As long as they pass the first review from the research center and the project hearing organized by the management committee, the project will be approved and given a budget.

Next, there is naturally a complete project tracking management and evaluation mechanism to ensure project execution.

When a project encounters major unpredictable progress, the research center management and the management committee have the right to call a halt or revise the project plan and budget.

According to the confidentiality level and importance of the project, the Dawn Research Institute has implemented a 5-level project classification management system.

Class 1 and Class 2 projects are ordinary market-oriented product research or general process technology research, generally investing less than 1 million yuan. The decision-making power for these projects is directly decided within the research center, and the management committee only needs to make a confirmation.

Class 3 and Class 4 science and technology projects will be subject to project hearings by the management committee, because these types of projects are basically major technological breakthroughs, with investments of tens of millions, but the technical route is relatively mature, such as iterative upgrades of passenger aircraft turbofan engines, which are low-risk, high-investment projects, and the management committee needs to balance the budgets between different projects.

As for Class 5 science and technology projects, these are generally strategic products, such as the RB211 new turbofan engine research, CAC-200 new passenger aircraft research, and 90nm lithography machine research. These types of projects not only require large investments, but also have many new things in terms of technical routes, with a lot of uncertainty.

However, breakthroughs in this type of project have a technologically revolutionary leading advantage, and are the key areas that the research institute needs to guarantee and invest in. They are also the highest-level confidential strategic projects. These projects generally have multiple rounds of technical demonstrations, with multiple optional solutions and technical routes. In the early stages, they were decided by Ren Zhong alone, but in the past ten years, they have basically been organized by the management committee for demonstration, and finally Ren Zhong makes the decision. Ren Zhong usually does not intervene too much, only vetoing some particularly budget-consuming schemes that he thinks are obviously unworkable, and letting the management committee truly take responsibility.

The management committee is operating more and more maturely.

Therefore, the new Academy of Sciences also adopted a similar project management mechanism, trying to remove the drawbacks of administrative outsiders directing insiders.

The biggest difference between the Academy of Sciences and the Dawn Research Institute is the source of project funding and the requirements for technology transformation.

Now Dongda's economic scale is already very large, reaching the level of one trillion US dollars as a whole. Taking out 0.5% of GDP every year is more than 15 billion, and 15 billion in this era is a very huge number.

It can build 3,000 kilometers of railway!

At this time, the salary of top scientists has just broken through to a monthly salary of 2,500 yuan, and the average monthly salary of Dongda society is more than 600.

Of course, in terms of welfare, top scientists are equipped with housing, cars, and secretaries. Salary is no longer of much significance to them.

From the current price level, the sales price of a basic configuration POLO car in China is only more than 6,000 yuan, and a dual-income family can afford it in two years of frugal living.

The monthly rent of low-rent housing for a typical family of three in a two-bedroom apartment is basically 200 yuan per month, and the selling price of affordable housing is about 400 yuan per square meter. A 70-square-meter two-bedroom apartment costs 28,000, which is also within reach for most dual-income families.

Therefore, the 15 billion yuan invested in scientific research can be called a large sum, enough to support more than 200,000 scientists to carry out scientific theoretical research.

This budget is similar to the current budget of the Dawn Research Institute. The Dawn Group's sales revenue has already exceeded 200 billion, making it a pivotal player in Dongda, accounting for more than six percent of the market share.

Diverting over 10 billion from sales revenue into research is not too strenuous for the Dawn Group.

After all, companies like Dongxin Technology are extremely profitable, with profit margins exceeding 70%. The gross profit margins on high-end chip pricing are frighteningly high, but these chips prioritize supplying domestic enterprises, with very little share sold internationally, ensuring Dongda's monopoly on high-end computer products.

With pricing power in the upstream of the industrial chain, Dongda can reap huge profits in the computer and communication industries.

Currently, Dongxin Technology reaps nearly 70% of the profits in the entire computer industry of the Bright Sword world.

This is still the result of Ren Zhong intentionally controlling the pricing of Dongda's IT industry, leaving some room for development for overseas potential dragon enterprises like Vision and GoldenStar. After all, the internal and external harvesting mechanisms are already very mature.

Economically, Ren Zhong has also completed the covert layout of internal and external lines, both overt and covert.

Externally, Situ and the Chen family of Nanyang have achieved the upgrade of their consortiums by cooperating with these covert agents of Dongda on the overt line.

By secretly taking over Dongda's huge foreign sales channels, one has become the number one consortium family in Nanyang, and the other has become one of the few new consortium giants in North America.

They have naturally become representatives of Eastern capital internationally, and now, after uniting Nanyang capital and some hidden families, they can faintly contend with North American and European capital.

On the covert line, the covert agents of the Qianlong Project have been enduring and developing silently in their respective lurking countries. With the help of Ren Zhong's early foresight and Dongda's advanced technology secretly exported, these chess pieces have become giants in their respective developing countries and regions after nearly 20 years of development. If they unite and echo each other secretly, they are also a consortium alliance not inferior to Situ and the Chen family of Nanyang.

Managing trillion-level enterprises, they are now a huge force in the international economic field, enough to stir up storms.

Therefore, whether in terms of the technological innovation system or the capital system, Ren Zhong has led the East to complete the primitive accumulation in the Bright Sword world.

Faced with the implementation of world trade integration and liberalization, Dongda is now very confident.

After patching up the regulatory loopholes in the financial market, Dongda's financial market has also been opened to the outside world.

After weathering the initial small shocks, Dongda's strong industrial production capacity has become a printing press, starting to sell various industrial products on a large scale, and the total volume of foreign trade and transportation has increased significantly.

After years of marketing, Dongda's products, with their many styles, reliable performance, and moderate prices, have become trusted products in the minds of people around the world. After trade liberalization, they began to flood the markets of all countries participating in the World Trade Organization like mercury!

By 1972, Dongda officially became the number one trading nation in the world. Its three major export engines—automobiles, aviation, and electronics—led the world. The total import and export trade volume exceeded 400 billion US dollars, with exports of 250 billion US dollars. Both the total import and export volume and the total export volume were the highest in the world, and significantly exceeded the 210 billion US dollars of the second-ranked rogue eagle.

Because in this year, Dongda's computer products began large-scale dumping!

Due to the advent of the 786, the 486 and 586 were released for mass sales, especially the 586. Equipped with a new generation of graphics cards, it had multimedia capabilities. Coupled with the large-scale popularization of CD-ROM drives and CDs, personal computers officially entered the era of network connection and multimedia on a large scale.

After the fiber optic backbone network was introduced to Europe and North America, it successively connected the Pacific and Atlantic undersea fiber optics, successfully connecting the Asia, Europe, and North America servers together.

BBS, Weibo, BLOG, and online games exploded almost this year, complementing the popularization of the new generation of high-performance personal computers. The global sales volume of the mainstream 586 computer, priced at nearly 2,000 US dollars, exceeded 30 million!

The computer network era has officially arrived!

In such a new information age, many people were caught off guard. They had not imagined that the world of the Internet would be so rich and colorful, with various websites springing up like mushrooms after rain, almost every day conveying the myth of wealth creation on the Internet.

And Dongda's servers and network products, which built this world of the Internet, almost monopolized this era!

On the vast Pacific Ocean, the Modu aircraft carrier battle group sailed majestically towards the Panama Canal, beginning a three-month visit to the Caribbean coastal countries.

Facing its North American counterparts, the Modu politely passed through Pearl Harbor and carried out friendly bilateral exchanges, inviting the rogue eagle's counterparts to board the ship for close-range communication and exchange. However, after these rogue eagle naval counterparts came down from the Modu, the smiles on their faces were somewhat unnatural.

There was no way, they felt that the technological gap was getting bigger and bigger.

Dongda's naval aircraft carriers have fully realized digitization, and have also achieved the ability of coordinated air defense with the accompanying destroyers. Through wireless data exchange, the combat power and detection methods of the entire aircraft carrier battle group can be concentrated together for use!

The consequences of this are not just a doubling of combat power, it is simply a ruthless crushing game for any country's navy!

Especially now that Dongda's Luyang-class destroyers and Yuyang-class destroyers have been fully refitted into vertically launched universal missile wells, realizing the launch of attacks as soon as enemies are discovered in missile launches. The combat power of a Modu aircraft carrier battle group alone can surpass the comprehensive combat power of most countries in the Bright Sword world!

After all, not many countries have a navy with a displacement of nearly 200,000 tons, nor do they have dozens of the latest fourth-generation jet fighters!

Not to mention that on the sea around the Modu aircraft carrier battle group, there are also looming Big Black Fish!

Some of these Big Black Fish are attack nuclear submarines that move with the aircraft carrier, and some are stealth assassins that cruise in the ocean all year round!

These real forces support Dongda's free navigation in all corners of the Bright Sword world!

In addition, according to the average lifespan, Ren Zhong has at least another twenty or thirty years to live, and can continue to protect Dongda and continue to move forward in the Bright Sword world.

It's just that now he doesn't need to do too much himself, it's good to be an observer and referee most of the time.

The current Dongda is already leading, and is increasing the distance of the lead, continuing to move towards the peak of the Bright Sword world!

PS1: Thank you to the book friends who have been with me until now, thank you! It is you who encouraged me to stay up late and write, although it is not satisfactory, and many places are immature.

PS2: The main line after the Anti-Japanese War is chaotic, and there are unspeakable factors.

PS3: There are many regrets, let's see if the extra chapters can make up for one or two. (End of this chapter)
