Chapter 312 One after another
The overseas expansion of companies such as Hailufeng Group has not affected domestic development.

On the contrary, with the expansion of a large number of enterprises overseas, not only has the domestic employment rate increased, but the previous overcapacity situation in the country has also been rapidly improved.

Huge production capacity has been released.

At the same time, the government also began to fully promote changes in wages and working hours.

For example, Hailufeng Company began to change its working hours, from eight hours a day and five days a week to six hours a day and five days a week; or to eight hours a day and four days a week.

Especially for those industries with a very high level of mechanization, this working model should be generally adopted in the future. It is better to recruit more employees or retain positions rather than reduce the number of employees by overtime.

In fact, with the promotion of the large-scale development of the Northwest and the sudden changes in the global climate in recent years, the importance of the Northwest region has skyrocketed. In 28 years, the population that migrated to the Northwest from North China, Bashu, and the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River plain reached 377 million.

Combined with the accumulated migrant population, the Northwest and southern regions have seen a total increase of 894 million people in three years.

But the biggest gain this year.

It must be the great changes in Mobei.

Due to climatic reasons and overgrazing, the desertification progress of the Mobei Plateau can almost be described as advancing by leaps and bounds.

After the local economy completely collapsed, the herders, miners, and ordinary people in the city who could no longer bear it wiped out the managers of Mobei, and the remaining small group fled to Europe and the United States by plane.

After several months of chaos, the locals finally made up their minds and asked Seris for help.

In order to help Mobei, dozens of large enterprises, including Hailufeng Company, quickly extended a helping hand and recruited more than 180 million employees locally.

That’s right.

That is, it recruited 180 million employees locally, accounting for about 51% of the local population.

Among them, agricultural and construction enterprises such as Hailufeng Company, COFCO Group, Beidahuang Group, New Hope Group, Mo'nan Agricultural Group, Capital Agribusiness Group, China Railway Group, and China Construction Group are the main ones.

After all, agriculture and engineering construction are indeed the main industries that absorb surplus labor in a short period of time.

Among them, Hailufeng Company recruited about 8.5 people in Mobei, mainly to develop the local desert.

The Hailufeng Company has locally enclosed approximately 8 square kilometers of desert area, concentrated in the East Gobi Province in the northern part of the desert.

However, since it is already December of the 28th year and the Mobei Plateau has entered the cold season, the planting work will have to wait until March or April next year. Now we are doing training while mobilizing engineering equipment from Jirim City.

In addition to local employees, Hailufeng Company also transferred about 1.2 old employees from the mainland to join the Mobei Branch.

The reason why Mobei is said to be the biggest gain.

The main reason is that this place is too large, covering an area of ​​156 million square kilometers. Although most of it is desert, Gobi, semi-desert grassland, and the northern area with more water resources has a colder climate, but these unfavorable factors are nothing to Seris at this time.

The acquisition of these 156 million square kilometers of land has effectively made up for some of the country's shortcomings.

You should know that the longitude and latitude of the Mobei Plateau are similar to those of the Northeast region. Although its temperature is significantly lower than that of the Northeast region due to the altitude of the plateau, it is at least better than Siberia.

According to the conclusion of a research team of experts from the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the region has at least 18 billion mu of usable agricultural land. Although most of it can only be used for one season a year, the vast plains in the east have relatively abundant water resources. If the magic beans are used to improve the soil, the local area can quickly obtain tens of millions of mu of artificial black soil.

If all of these 18 billion mu of agricultural land were planted with Soybeans, even if only one harvest was made each year, the annual output of soybeans would be 5.4 million tons.

5.4 million tons of various types of soybeans can feed at least 10 billion people.

After all, today's various types of soybeans are not only used for industrial purposes, food processing, plastics, and fuel, but also as staple food, making them almost all-purpose crops.

Of course, considering that the Xiansi soybeans are of strategic value, they can only be grown in closed areas in the country, so the planting of Xiansi beans No. 1 to 4 can only be promoted in the Mobei region.

In fact, with the potential of the Senzu Bean series, if its cultivation can be promoted all over the world, solving the food crisis will be easy.

Unfortunately, Seres needs to reshape the global structure and will naturally not allow Senzu beans to flow into uncontrolled areas.

For example, in Central Asia, which Lucia has always regarded as her backyard, although the locals have repeatedly requested to import Senzu soybeans, the country has always been perfunctory in their response.

The fundamental reason is that there are many uncontrollable factors in Central Asia.

After all, America can abandon Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia thousands of miles away, but that is due to the geographical limitations of North America.

But Central Asia is too close to Lucia. If Central Asia gets out of control, Lucia’s core hinterland will be completely exposed and can easily be cut off.

In addition, due to Lucia's evil personality, the more you want to get in, the more he will resist. He will fight with you to the death, and even die together with you.

Time is now on Seris' side. The longer it drags on, the deeper Seris's progress in integrating Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia will be, and the greater the accumulated power will be.

And Lucia obviously couldn't survive Ceris.

Although global warming has increased the arable area of ​​the Siberian Plain, this is actually only theoretical data.

The rising sea levels caused by global warming will cause the coastal areas of the East European Plain to be flooded, which are precisely the core areas of Russia.

If the global sea level rises by 15 meters in the next 20 to 30 years, the Black Sea water can flow into the Caspian Sea through the Kuma-Manech Depression, because the watershed in the area is less than 30 meters above sea level, forming a natural waterway.

The southern part of the East European Plain is not only low-lying, but also the agricultural core of Russia. The flooding of these areas, coupled with the salinization of the land caused by large-scale sea intrusion, will cause terrible losses.

Therefore, the drastic changes in the global climate will not give Lucia much time.

As for Seres' Antarctic solar energy development plan, there is actually no way to completely suppress the rise in global sea levels. After all, photovoltaic airships and photovoltaic films take time to produce.

For example, Greenland, the world's second largest ice sheet, will cause the global sea level to rise by about 7 meters once it melts completely.

Combined with meltwater from other glaciers and the melting of part of the Antarctic ice sheet, global sea level rise could easily exceed 20 meters.

As for whether it can reach 30 meters, it depends on the progress of Seres's Antarctic solar energy development plan.

If the progress is fast and it is completed within ten years, the increase can most likely be controlled at around 30 meters; if it is completed within five years, it can be controlled at around 20 meters; if it is completed within fifteen years, the sea level rise will most likely exceed 40 meters.

The Chinese Academy of Sciences believes that ten years is a relatively ideal progress.

After all, this involves two million square kilometers of photovoltaic thin films and nearly 200,000 photovoltaic airships.

The allocation per year is approximately 200,000 square kilometers of photovoltaic film and 20,000 photovoltaic airships.

Blue Whale Airship can currently produce about 400 airships of various types annually.

In addition, Western Silk Group and Chang'an Aviation Group have also acquired relevant technologies. It is estimated that the production capacity of various airships will soar more than ten times next year.

In order to make up for the damage caused by industrial transfer in Qiongzhou and southern Yunnan, the government has planned to approve the two places to prepare airship production enterprises.

By 2030, the country's airship production capacity can be increased to about 4 per year.

This is almost enough to meet the needs of Antarctica's solar energy development plan.

As for the consequences of the project delay, Seris has done its best and other areas can only rely on themselves.

Therefore, there is no need to rush into Central Asia now. Wait until Lucia collapses. Then various parts of Central Asia will make the right choice themselves.

Just like Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia, America itself was on the verge of collapse. It could neither suppress nor help these regions. The various forces in these regions quickly changed sides and cut off from America at the speed of light.

The reason why Mobei would quickly fall into the arms of Seris was, on the one hand, that European and American forces were preoccupied with their own affairs; on the other hand, Lucia was constantly shrinking its influence in an effort to preserve the interests of the core area.

Of course, Northeast Asia is not without its troublemakers.

For example, in a place with three suns, the locals have always chosen to be uncooperative and are very resistant and contemptuous of Seris' so-called friend food.

Seris naturally didn't bother to care about such a place, since the people who died were not his own.

Things are different now.

In this world, there are no eternal friends, nor eternal enemies.

When South Korea and Japan take the initiative to act as dogs, it means that the situation in Northeast Asia has undergone fundamental changes.

Including the thorough cleansing of Tainan Island at the end of the year, most forces in the world appeared indifferent.

Instead, America used coercive means to force ASML and other companies to destroy the core components of these semiconductor devices by leaving backdoors in the equipment, turning them into complete waste.

Now the semiconductor factories on Tainan Island have almost all lost the equipment purchased from Europe and the United States, causing the semiconductor production capacity in the region to drop to an extreme point in an instant.

Including South Korea's Samsung Group, their semiconductor production lines also had their core equipment destroyed and are now paralyzed.

for this matter.

Seris actually noticed it, but did not stop Amelica, instead choosing to stand by and watch.

After all, if America is willing to be the villain, then let her be the villain. This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

On the one hand, it destroyed the high-end semiconductor industry in Dayuan Island and South Korea.

On the other hand, it also made the two places more hostile to America.

Finally, the domestic semiconductor industry can rise rapidly.

2028, April 12.

The Asian Semiconductor Industry Conference was held in Shanghai.

Samsung, which had just suffered a heavy blow, had its president Lee Jae-young sitting in his seat with a tired look on his face. Around him, in addition to the executives of Samsung Group itself, there were also the presidents of several semiconductor-related companies in South Korea.

Not far to the left are semiconductor-related companies from Japan, such as Renesas Electronics, Tokyo Electron, Etsin, Canon, Rapidus, Nikon, Sony, Kioxia Holdings, Eto Electric, and more than a dozen other core companies. On the right are semiconductor-related companies from Tainan Island, including TSMC, UMC, MediaTek, Uniwin Technology, ASE, Siliconware Precision Industries, and others.

In addition, there are Chartered Semiconductor and United Technologies from Sing Tao in Southeast Asia.

Domestic semiconductor companies also mobilized all their employees.

However, as Li Zairong, who has been studying Seris Enterprises frequently recently, was also surprised and astonished after taking a look at the list of participating companies.

He murmured in a low voice: "Hailufeng Company? Minqin Group?"

Obviously, the names of these two companies surprised him very much. As a member of a large family and with his son studying in Shanghai, Li Zairong’s Chinese reading and writing skills were not bad.

Then he turned to look at Huang Tianci, the liaison, and asked uncertainly, "Mr. Huang, are the Hailufeng Company and Minqin Group on the list the agricultural company and the company that produces bean threads?"

Huang Tianci looked at the list that Li Zairong pointed at, smiled and nodded: "Yes, those are the two companies."

"..." Li Zairong suddenly felt uneasy.

You know, the terribleness of Hailufeng Company is now famous all over the world.

This terrifying thing is not only reflected in the various agricultural products it produces, but also in the fact that every time it enters an industry, it often means that the company already has some kind of disruptive technological power.

Now that Hailufeng Company appears at the semiconductor industry conference, it means that the other party may have developed some disruptive semiconductor-related technology.

It’s no wonder that Li Zairong thought this way.

After all, Hailufeng Company’s achievements are well documented.

He then focused his gaze on the executives of HiSilicon Semiconductor and Yangtze Memory Technologies sitting opposite him. The reason he looked at the executives of these companies was because these companies were Seres' core semiconductor companies, while similar to SMIC, they were actually only half-way through.

This time, America's semiconductor equipment explosion also affected SMIC. Some of SMIC's mid-range equipment imported from Europe and the United States also suffered varying degrees of damage.

Li Zairong pushed his glasses and observed carefully for a few minutes. He found that the executives of HiSilicon Semiconductor and Yangtze Memory Technologies had very calm faces, which could even be described as excited.

Seeing this, he became more certain of his guess: "Has Seris already conquered the technology of lithography? Or has it adopted other technical means to avoid the semiconductor system of Europe and the United States?"

Just when Li Zairong was daydreaming.

Chen Nanxian, chairman of Yangtze Memory Technologies Co., Ltd. and one of the conveners of the conference, stood on the podium in the center with a smile.

"Dear colleagues, I am Chen Nanxian, and I welcome everyone to attend this semiconductor industry conference. Perhaps some of you have already guessed the purpose of this conference, so I will not be mysterious and will be frank with you..."

The voice just fell.

All participants had laptops connected to the conference center on their desks, and a plan popped up on the screens of these laptops.

"Asia Semiconductor Industry Restructuring Plan"

Looking at the content on the screen, Li Zairong and others had mixed expressions.

"You are all semiconductor practitioners, so I will not keep you in suspense. This plan is to rebuild a semiconductor system that belongs to Asia and realize the internal circulation of semiconductor technology in the Asian industrial complex."

No one spoke, but waited for Chen Nanxian to say next.

Because they want to see why Seres is so confident in talking about its plan to reconstruct the Asian semiconductor industry system.

Although Asia's semiconductor industry has absorbed the semiconductor industry talents from Tainan Island, Japan, and South Korea, as well as their related semiconductor patent technologies, it can indeed compete with European and American semiconductors.

But Asia's semiconductor industry is not invulnerable.

Among them, the high-end lithography machine industry is completely monopolized by ASML.

Together with America's Applied Materials, Lam Research, and KLA-Tencor, the European and American semiconductor equipment formed by these companies can still cause serious damage to Asian semiconductor companies.

Especially ASML's high-end lithography machines, which cannot be replaced by Nikon and Canon's lithography machines at all.

"Next, I will introduce to you a brand new semiconductor equipment, the nano-glue injection machine from Minqin Precision Instruments..."

An introduction to the nano glue injection machine was then displayed on everyone's laptop screens.

“…In summary, the nano-glue injection machine has completely replaced the function of high-end photolithography machines. It can not only achieve high-yield colloidal film printing, but also shorten the production time and reduce energy consumption in the production process.”

"this…"

“There is actually such a technical direction?”

“In theory, it is possible, but I don’t know how the product actually works.”

"It looks like it's almost ready for use, otherwise they wouldn't be holding this industry conference."

“The semiconductor industry is about to change.”

"Haha, it's better if Asmay dies."

Chen Nanxian let everyone digest it for a while before continuing, "You don't need to worry about technical issues, because our company's semiconductor base in Chang'an can already produce 10-nanometer chips. The first batch of Kirin A100 chips, which are currently manufactured for HiSilicon Semiconductor, was mass-produced last month."

"Depend on!"

"So fast?"

Soon everyone saw the relevant parameters of the Kirin A100 chip. After reading it, mobile phone chip manufacturers including Li Zairong looked very solemn.

Of course, memory chip manufacturers also have serious expressions, and Samsung has also been affected.

In this situation, everyone suddenly woke up.

They had no choice.

Europe and the United States have destroyed Asia's mid-to-high-end semiconductor production equipment. Now if we don't use Seres' semiconductor production equipment, we will most likely be doomed.

Since we can't beat them, we can only choose to join.

Foreign semiconductor companies, recognizing the reality, quickly changed their attitudes.

The Asian Semiconductor Industry Association was officially established. The Asian Semiconductor Alliance, with Seres as its core, plans to completely kick all semiconductor-related equipment and materials from Europe and the United States out of the supply chain and industrial chain through technical exchanges and patent exchanges in the new year.

If there was only one Seris before, it might have been difficult to break the semiconductor patent system in Europe and the United States.

However, with the accumulation of semiconductor technology in Tainan Island, South Korea, and Japan, the difficulty of bypassing the semiconductor patent moat of Europe and the United States has been reduced by several orders of magnitude.

Once the comprehensive integration is completed, Asian Semiconductor will become the world's most powerful semiconductor industry alliance.

After losing the technical support from Tainan Island, Japan, and South Korea, the European and American semiconductor industry chain collapsed instantly and many gaps appeared. Even if new companies could be supported to replace them, it would take at least ten years.

As one thing grows stronger while the other shrinks, the divisions in the world become more and more obvious.

Various European and American forces have been in frequent secret contacts, and they intend to achieve further unification on the basis of the North Atlantic system.

Losing Asia, South Africa, and even Oceania is acceptable, but if we lose South America and North Africa, Europe and the United States will really be powerless to fight back.

Even Europe and the United States are already planning to win over Lucia.

The prototypes of the two major systems are beginning to take shape.

The separation between the Eastern and Western worlds has become an irreversible trend.

Although he knew that America and the European Union were conducting PY transactions in private, Seris didn't really care.

If Europe and the United States do not change fundamentally, it will be difficult for them to truly integrate, and as the global climate crisis intensifies, their internal differences may even grow.

Especially after the collapse of America's economy, the centrifugal force between the internal states has become increasingly stronger, and the European Union also feels that this is a good opportunity to completely get rid of America's influence.

When these forces with their own ulterior motives are put together, they are basically a mob.

For an alliance to be successful, there must be a core that can suppress the general trend.

Now that America cannot suppress the EU, why should the EU listen to America? Even if the North Atlantic Union can be established, all parties will continue to argue and waste their energy.

Even now, America nominally has 11 aircraft carrier battle groups, but in reality only 4 aircraft carrier battle groups can be deployed.

This situation is mainly due to the complete collapse of the European and American shipbuilding industries, coupled with the fact that many ships in the aircraft carrier battle groups are approaching the end of their service life, various failures are increasing, and the need for factory maintenance is becoming greater and greater.

However, America's local shipbuilding companies can only perform maintenance on one aircraft carrier at a time, which causes problems for many aircraft carriers and they can only wait in line.

Even with the four deployable aircraft carrier battle groups, problems frequently occur.

For example, in October this year, an aircraft carrier battle group of America was on a routine cruise mission when a nuclear submarine almost sank in the Persian Gulf due to a pipeline failure.

Although the ship was rescued later, a destroyer that came to rescue it ran aground on a reef nearby.

It can only be said that the image of Amelie as a paper tiger has become more and more popular among the people.

Now America is ready to fully transfer its military forces from Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia to South America, North Africa, Central America and other regions to stabilize its control over core areas.

If America does not shrink its sphere of influence, it is obvious that it will not be able to sustain its previous status.
