Chapter 428 Destruction, we must ensure mutual destruction (second update, please subscribe)
The most expensive beard in history!
Almost overnight, all newspapers in Nanyang were reporting on that somewhat legendary sales technique.
Everyone can do business, legends don’t happen every day.
More often, newspapers are concerned about booing and legend.
The $200 million in the news... is just a boo.
What does a large order of US$200 million mean?
Some people see it as an increase in the total export value of Borneo. Some people see it as a new opportunity, so they start to enter the household appliance industry. Some people see it as a blue ocean. ——The blue ocean of export trade. We see unlimited prospects for export trade under the framework of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade.
But only a handful of people see the future, and this future is definitely not just about money.
“Two hundred million dollars!”
Leaning back on the chair, Li Yian couldn't help but exclaimed.
“This is just the beginning...”
Although it is just a small semiconductor radio, its appearance has changed the fate of many companies. The most famous one is probably Tokyo Communications Industry. In 1957, Tokyo Communications Industry released the Sony series of semiconductor radios. Later, because Sony radios were so successful at the time, Tokyo Communications Industry simply changed the company's name to Sony the next year. Sony also became the Japanese consumer electronics supplier that would dominate for 50 years, and the company also became A household name.
Compared with companies such as Sony, United Communications' TR-1 was launched at just the right time - TV sets had not yet been fully popularized at this time, and most families needed a radio, which was cheap and compact. The radio will definitely enter thousands of households.
Under such a coincidence, TR-1 is destined to become a commercial miracle. It may even be one that cannot be copied.
But this was just a radio. Compared to the radio, what Li Yian saw was the future.
“The era of transistors has arrived!”
It’s not just transistors, but also integrated circuits – a few months ago, after Li Yi’an proposed the idea of integrated circuits, experiments at Nanyang University The laboratory has begun research in this area, and I believe the research results will be available soon.
From transistors to integrated circuits to personal computers, this does require a process, and in this world, everything is accelerated and advanced.
For humans, this is indeed a good thing. Technology will change people's lives earlier.
Thinking of the amazing ways in which electronic technology will change people's lives in the coming days with his help, Li Yian raised his lips slightly and his expression was full of pride. After all, he had single-handedly brought about this change!
But while he was proud, he was also calculating two accounts in his mind.
The first account is Nanyang’s own account. By seizing the first-mover advantage in this wave, Nanyang’s companies will gain huge profits, not hundreds of millions or billions, but tens of billions. , or even a large market worth tens of trillions of dollars, as long as they can firmly seize the opportunities of the electronics industry revolution, Nanyang-related companies are destined to grow into leaders in the integrated circuit industry.
In another world, the importance of chips is well known, and the integrated circuit industry itself is a comprehensive reflection of a country's high-end manufacturing capabilities, and is the strategic high ground for global high-tech national strength competition. In the next few decades, by firmly grasping this commanding heights, the economic and technological advancement of Nanyang cannot be ignored.
There is also the advance of scientific and technological innovation. The transistors and integrated circuits that came out in advance and other subsequent inventions will further promote the scientific development of the world and thus bring human civilization to new heights. This is the second It is an account, but it is also the one with the most variables and the most uncertainty.
It even led to the third account - change. Although Li Yi'an knew how far the future technological revolution with transistors, integrated circuits, and electronic computers as its source would bring mankind, he was not sure, in the context of the Cold War, what impact this industrial revolution would have on the Cold War. What a change.
Such variables are sometimes really hard to predict!
"Will it cause the Cold War to become more intense? Or..."
Thinking of the several misfires that humans had during the Cold War, Li Yian couldn't help but feel a little nervous. Now, he seems to I understand why in the Cold War, everyone was always careful to ensure that they could destroy their opponents. To put it bluntly, it was because of uncertainty!
Not sure when the other party will destroy itself!
What is Li Yian worried about now?
This is also the future of uncertainty. He is not sure what impact the technological revolution that breaks out in advance will have on the Cold War.
After all, technology itself is combat power!
“The advancement of science and technology means the enhancement of combat effectiveness. Will the enhancement of combat effectiveness lead to any changes?”
Frowning his brows, Li Yian suddenly felt a little melancholy. Otherwise, this uncertainty is too scary!
If this increase in technological power led to a subversive gap in the technological power between the two sides in the Cold War, would the side with the absolute advantage choose to take desperate risks?
Thinking of this, even the two hundred million U.S. dollars that were originally very delicious suddenly no longer smell good.
It would be bad if a knife fell from the sky!
Just like that, after thinking for a long time, Li Yian still shook his head helplessly.
"Whatever, it's just unfounded worries. The most important thing now is to develop yourself. The more intense the Cold War is, the more opportunities there will be in Nanyang..."
Although this is the case, it is putting all this aside. At the same time in the back of his mind, Li Yian's desire for the atomic bomb became even stronger in his heart.
......
A DC4 passenger plane was flying over the rainforest, looking at the dense rainforest below. Li Yian frowned. In the past few days, despite his appearance, As in the past, nothing seems to have changed.
But thinking of the threat posed by that "uncertainty", the unknown fear in Li Yian's heart deepened. Perhaps, he had not experienced the Cold War, but it did not prevent him from fearing a hot war. After all, even thirty years after the end of the Cold War, people are still grateful that the Cold War did not turn into a hot war.
During the Cold War, mankind had too many brushes with destruction!
At its peak, tens of thousands of nuclear bombs around the world were aimed at each other, and everyone ensured this mutual destruction. During the entire Cold War, all peace was based on this mutual destruction.
If, with the help of their own technology, the United States and Russia come up with some technological trick that can break the nuclear balance, it will be the end!
Just asking if you are afraid!
Li Yian didn't know whether others were afraid, but he knew clearly that he was scared!
Really scared!
There are not many people in Nanyang, only tens of millions, and the country is so big. A few dozen nuclear bombs can bring Nanyang back to the Stone Age!
This also means that the survival of Nanyang needs to be guaranteed by nuclear bombs. After all, only by ensuring that you can destroy the other party can you ensure your own safety.
The atomic bomb...is the first step in technology and hard work!
While Li Yian was thinking about this, the plane had slowly landed at the airport. The airport was located in the middle of the dense rain forest, and here was the Atomic City of Nanyang...
