Chapter 575 Changes, Memories
The Electronics Research Institute headed by Wu Lei is now secretly working on miniaturizing large computers, which is the prototype of computers.
It can be said that the reason why domestic science and technology began to explode all of a sudden is closely related to the research institute. With efforts made in eight or nine fields at the same time, coupled with the cheats Zhou Tian gave them, it is difficult for science and technology not to explode.
Although the changes in the country are not that great due to the short time, as long as it continues to settle for a period of time, he believes that the current domestic development speed will be no less than that of the 1980s and 1990s in his previous life.
Now the entire institute seems to be a simple research unit. With the dissemination of countless technologies, various domestic products have shown a trend of flourishing.
Even earning foreign exchange is no longer the exclusive responsibility of the research institute. For example, the Heihe Sugar Factory exports syrup mainly to its big brother, and the Beibingyang Beverage Factory in Shanghai. In the five or six years, the country began to expand it. In addition, with the popularization of biological sugar-making methods in several major sugar factories in China, candy is no longer a luxury in China.
A large amount of white sugar and brown sugar also entered the supply and marketing cooperatives and became daily necessities for the people. Beverages were also made according to the formula provided by the research institute. In the past few years, the development of the Arctic Ocean Beverage Factory's cola drinks has already been sold all over the socialist countries.
It earned huge amounts of foreign exchange for the country, and various technologies and delicious foods also became hot-selling export products in the coastal areas and Liaodong area.
It can be said that the speed at which the country earns foreign exchange in the past two years alone is more than ten times that of previous years. This has prompted the country to adjust the Second Five-Year Plan and begin organizing personnel to carry out infrastructure and road construction across the country.
This has mobilized countless farmers to participate in it. A large number of water conservancy projects and road construction have been rapidly built in the past two years, and the whole country has entered into a period of intense labor.
Gradually, countless people discovered that the roads leading to the county town had changed from dirt roads to cement roads, and the provincial roads had become asphalt roads. Not only had the roads become much easier to travel, but there were also more and more things in the supply and marketing cooperatives.
The county town is changing day by day, with buildings becoming taller and more prosperous.
Even the rural areas began to transform from small collectives to large collectives. Cultivating the land no longer required manpower. Many tractors were distributed in various production brigades. The emergence of various agricultural machinery such as harvesters, seeders, threshers, and irrigation machines made farmers' physical labor less and less.
With the emergence of various high-yield grain varieties promoted by the country, everyone seems to have discovered that they have achieved the goal of eating enough without realizing it, and can even eat well.
The team that had money began to build brick houses, and everyone felt that life should be better and better.
The biggest changes have occurred in the suburbs of Changping. The suburbs of Changping were the first place to build high-rise buildings. As the various branches of the research institute developed better and better, many factories related to the branches of the research institute also began to gradually move into the suburbs of Changping and build branches. With the gathering of more and more branches, it can be said that the suburbs of Changping have long become a prosperous place.
In addition, these branches rely on the branch of the research institute to make money and are not short of money. A large number of high-rise buildings are being built, and urban planning is getting better and better with Zhou Tian's deliberate intervention.
If you don't look at the age, you wouldn't believe this is China just by looking at this place. It's not an exaggeration to say that this is the most developed area in the whole of China.
Even the higher-ups came here to inspect several times and personally decided on the name of the city, "Zhongyuan".
At the beginning of 1958, the administrative center of Changping District was moved here from Changping, which brought Zhongyuan's development to a new level.
Recalling the changes in the country over the years, even if these were all unconscious results at the beginning, Zhou Tian felt like he was dreaming. After all, the changes in China over the years were really too fast, so fast that even he himself was sometimes unable to adapt.
However, this also made him more convinced that it was the right thing for him to open the binding space to others. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to reach the current level by himself.
Especially since last year, the institute seems to have begun to replace the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Countless scientific research tasks have been assigned to the institute, and with the participation of many big names in various fields, the scale of the institute has begun to grow.
There are now no less than 10,000 scientific researchers alone, all of whom are masters in various fields. This makes Zhou Tian sometimes even feel that it is unreal.
You have to know that in his previous life he was just a college graduate, but now he is managing such a large research institute. Sometimes he feels like he is dreaming.
And this was the result of his streamlining a lot. He did not want any scientific researchers who promoted Western ideas, nor did he want any scientific researchers who had no national stance. What he needed were pure and firm patriots. For this reason, he had a lot of conflicts with the Chinese Academy of Sciences and offended many senior officials.
Many scientific researchers even gave him the nickname of a narrow-minded nationalist, but he always just smiled indifferently and never compromised in his actions.
After all, he will always remember all the filth that China experienced in its previous life, and he doesn't want China to experience it again.
Of course, he would not forget to organize a patriotism education in the institute every month. It was not that he wanted to make it unnecessary, but he was very clear that with the development of the country, many scientific researchers would forget their basics as time went by.
Just like many experts, scholars, and professors in previous lives, they were all respected but ended up being on the opposite side of the people.
This kind of patriotism education is not limited to the institute, but also includes various branches. He organizes one every month in all places under the jurisdiction of the institute. Although it seems unnecessary to outsiders, Zhou Tian is consistent.
Influenced by Zhou Tian, some factories in the suburbs of Changping also followed suit, which made patriotism prevail among schools, workers, farmers, and even government officials.
Zhou Tian is naturally optimistic about this.
"Dean, are you looking for me?"
Just when Zhou Tian was still immersed in his memories, Zhang Mingzhi pushed the door and walked in.
"Lao Zhang, you are here. The higher-ups are discussing supporting the workers and farmers. In the past few years, because our domestic economic development was in its early stages, didn't we implement the policy of supporting the workers with agriculture? Now that the country's industry has basically developed, the country has decided to start supporting the workers and farmers. Therefore, I would like to ask you, look at the rural areas around our factories, which ones should we choose to support?"
