156: Chapter 156 A bustling construction site! Director Zhang takes office, with a job assignment full of interesting twists!

Most people probably don't have a concept of what 300,000 mu is.

For example, the total area within the Third Ring Road of the capital, when added up, is only about 220,000 mu!

This large-scale research center of Lin Mo, plus the shipbuilding center for the Penglai Project near Bohai, is estimated to have a total area of about 400,000 mu.

At the beginning, the authorities decided to first approve a plot of land of about 30,000 mu for Lin Mo.

Even if this large-scale research center was huge, 30,000 mu would be more than enough.

You have to know, most universities in China don't even have that much space.

But when Lin Mo brought out the design drawings and construction plans for the research center, they fell silent.

Is this what you call a large-scale comprehensive research center plan?

This is completely planning the research center like an urbanized cluster!

According to Lin Mo's plan, the first phase of this large-scale research center would establish separate sub-centers based on different technological development branches.

These include: the Genetic Engineering Research Sub-center, the Land Combat Equipment Research Sub-center, the Aerospace Equipment Research Sub-center, the Naval Equipment Research Sub-center, the Civil Technology Research Sub-center, and so on, totaling 8 sub-centers (with future expansions planned).

In addition, each sub-center would establish separate R&D bases based on components, supporting systems, and other aspects, coupled with production lines and related industrial chain clusters.

Taking the Land Combat Equipment Research Sub-center as an example, its current main tasks include developing Kunlun Generation II Exoskeleton Armor technology and subsequent iterations, civil conversion of multi-purpose armor, transformation and application of supporting armor sub-technologies, integrated mass production, and so on.

Based on these core tasks, 20 interconnected R&D bases (No. 1 to No. 20) will be initially established to conduct modular, distributed, and integrated R&D on supporting systems and related components for the Exoskeleton Armor, such as power energy, artificial intelligence, and life support.

At the end of the results output, 3 to 5 mass production and assembly lines will also be built (with future expansions), achieving a one-stop process of self-learning, self-research, and self-production, with the sub-center as the brain, the R&D base as the link, and the organizational production line as the terminal.

After receiving this plan, Chief Designer Bai Yannian didn't say a word and immediately called a meeting.

"Increase the project area by another 10 times!"

"Our China has vast territory and abundant resources; land is the last thing we lack. What's the big deal?"

After a brief discussion, everyone quickly made a decision.

"According to Comrade Lin Mo's plan, it will take at least half a year to complete the overall construction, which is still too slow!"

"This concerns the national destiny of China; not even half a day can be delayed!"

"Dispatch the First, Second, and Fifth Bureaus of China Construction to participate in the construction of the research center!"

"The Third and Eighth Bureaus will focus on the construction of the three most critical sub-centers currently!"

"Complete the construction of the Genetic Engineering Research Sub-center within one month!"

"Provide a research venue for China's Yanhuang Project!"

"Complete the construction of the Land Combat Equipment and Aerospace Equipment Research Sub-centers within two months!"

"Provide research venues for the follow-up R&D of the four major projects including the Nantianmen Project!"

"..."

"In addition, the national treasury will provide full support!"

"We have plenty of money now!"

Speaking of this, Chief Designer Bai Yannian smiled and looked at Lin Mo with a smile.

"Comrade Lin Mo, all the payments earned from this China military equipment exhibition will be earmarked for specific purposes!"

"We will fully guarantee all the research projects you are currently in charge of!"

"China's entire annual fiscal revenue should be enough for you to spend, right?"

Lin Mo hesitated to speak. His 3.3 billion was small money, and even if the full 50 billion for the year were included, it wouldn't be enough to fill the gaps of this research center cluster.

In fact, regarding the construction of his own large-scale research center, Lin Mo never thought of achieving it in one step.

With his own earning speed, it would always be completed in five or ten years.

The most urgent thing now is to ensure that the research base for the Yanhuang Project is implemented as soon as possible.

For the Nantianmen Project and the Penglai Project, he had already made plans to just travel back and forth between Gansu Province and Liaoning Province more often.

For a behemoth like the "Luan Bird" aerospace carrier, the deck length alone is over a thousand meters, so it can only be developed in a distributed manner according to component composition, and then assembled at the end.

By that time, the research base here would surely be almost built, and he could just move then.

But what he didn't expect was that China would still give him such face, directly supporting it with the national treasury and demanding completion at the fastest speed!

You have to know, this is a super-large building cluster covering 300,000 mu of land!

Regarding this, Lin Mo was very moved, but problems followed.

With the national treasury paying for it, does this large-scale research center belong to him or to the country?

Seeing Lin Mo not saying anything, the shrewd Chief Designer Bai Yannian naturally understood in a second and chuckled.

"Comrade Lin Mo, I know what you are thinking."

"This research center still belongs to you personally!"

"You also need to understand one thing."

"You are now deeply bound to the national destiny of China."

"Whether China rises or falls, rises or not, is closely connected to you. Is there any need to distinguish between you and me at this time?"

"Relax, if you really feel bad about it, just treat it as an interest-free loan from the country, and pay it back slowly in the future."

General Yun Feijie of the Air Force also spoke up with a smile.

"Don't underestimate your earning speed either; with your ability to create wealth for China, you'll earn it back in a few years!"

"By then, the country will have to borrow money from you, hahaha!..."

Amidst the laughter, Lin Mo put down the stone in his heart.

...

Construction site. Under the scorching sun, thousands of excavators were working hard, and tens of thousands of dump trucks were entering and exiting the construction site; the scene was exceptionally hot.

On a high ground, in front of the temporary office container serving as the command center, a group of project leaders were looking into the distance.

Among these leaders, a large portion of the middle and high-level management from the Third and Eighth Bureaus of China Construction were wearing white hard hats.

As supervisors on the construction site, they were generally the leaders of the workers.

And some others were wearing red hard hats.

Red has been a symbol of high status since ancient times, and it is the same on construction sites.

As the actual leaders grasping the construction progress of the project, Chief Designer Bai Yannian, who was on-site, including the team leaders of the Third and Eighth Bureaus, all wore red hard hats.

However, among these people, one person's attire was different.

"I say, Comrade Lin Mo, can you not be such an attention-seeker?"

Chief Designer Bai Yannian looked up at Lin Mo, who was wearing the Exoskeleton Armor, with a look of helplessness.

"With you like this, everyone is coming to look at you, which really affects the efficiency of the workers!"

Lin Mo chuckled.

"What is single-person auxiliary equipment? It's naturally for assisting in work!"

"Look, I can hold two-ton stone piers, one in each hand. Could I do that without this armor?"

Chief Designer Bai Yannian was speechless.

Just then, a group of people in military uniforms walked over quickly from behind.

"Comrade Lin Mo!"

"Zhang Zhaozhong, Chief of the General Armament Department of the Supreme Military Region of China, Two-Star General!"

"Reporting to you!"

Looking at the newly appointed Chief of the General Armament Department who was saluting in front of him, who was also the newly appointed Director of the Strategic Intimidation Bureau, Lin Mo smiled.

(Please support with love!)
