Rebirth: Starting with 10 Billion Us Dollars

45: Chapter 45 Mass Production of T1100 Shocks the World: Domestically Produced Carbon Fiber Breaks the BlockadeFor half a month, Chen Mo practically lived at the Tianxing Technology Industrial Base.

In the first three days, relying on his master-level materials science foundation combined with the mature domestic T800 technology, he completely mastered the formulas and processes for T1000 and t1100 grade carbon fiber. The parameters were only higher than the international standards.

For the remaining ten-plus days, he dove headfirst into the production line overhaul, forcefully optimizing and upgrading the equipment—originally capable only of producing low-to-mid-range carbon fiber—to a level that could stably mass-produce T1100. He handled the entire process without letting outsiders interfere.

That late night, a piece of news suddenly exploded online:

The Chinese Academy of Sciences will dispatch an expert team tomorrow to enter the Tianxing Technology Industrial Base to conduct on-site acceptance testing for the mass production lines of T1000 and t1100 grade carbon fiber!

As soon as the news broke, the entire network instantly erupted.

The dragon haters and Western-worshippers who had been mocking the fact that the Dragon Country couldn’t produce high-end carbon fiber collectively fell silent.

Ordinary netizens were both nervous and expectant, staying by their phones and not sleeping well all night.

Early the next morning,

The main gate of the Tianxing Technology Industrial Base was packed with various media outlets: CCTV, People’s Daily Online, local satellite TV, tech bloggers... long lenses and short cannons were set up densely.

Not long after, a row of black official cars slowly entered the view.

Led by the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, more than a dozen of the country’s top material academicians and experts were all present.

As the car doors opened, the camera flashes instantly lit up the area like daylight.

Zhang Kai and Chen Changlin, along with the high-level executives of Tianxing, quickly stepped forward, displaying attitudes that were both respectful and full of confidence.

”President, esteemed academicians and experts, thank you for your arduous journey!”

Zhang Kai extended his hand first.

”Mr. Zhang is too polite.”

The President smiled broadly, his eyes full of anticipation.

”Where is Mr. Chen? I heard he has been guarding the laboratory and production lines for the past half month?”

”Mr. Chen is waiting for everyone at the production line and will personally lead everyone through the inspection,” Zhang Kai replied.

After a few brief pleasantries, the group walked into the heavily guarded industrial base, followed by the media cameras.

The CCTV reporter followed the entire way, the lens steadily focused on the newly renovated carbon fiber production lines.

Chen Mo stood in the center of the production line, wearing a clean work uniform, his expression calm.

Upon seeing the expert team arrive, he nodded slightly:

”President, teachers, please come this way. All equipment, finished products, and testing reports are ready.”

The expert team dared not delay and immediately split into groups to take action:

Some inspected the production process, some tested equipment stability, and some took samples on-site for core tests like mechanical tensile strength, density, and modulus.

Time passed minute by minute. Instruments whirred continuously in the base’s laboratory. The academicians’ eyes grew brighter with every test, and the surprise on their faces became harder to conceal.

At two in the afternoon, the acceptance testing officially concluded.

The expert team held a brief meeting in the small conference room. When they emerged, every one of them was beaming, their steps full of energy.

The President immediately made a decision:

”Hold a live press conference! Announce the results of this acceptance test to the entire nation and the whole world!”

The news spread instantly, and the base’s large conference room was quickly prepared.

Seated on the main platform were the President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, Zhang Kai, and Chen Changlin.

The first row held the remaining academicians and experts, the second row held Tianxing executives, and the rows behind were filled with media reporters. All live broadcast equipment was in place.

Netizens across the country flooded into the live stream room like crazy. The number of viewers broke fifty million in just one hour, with dense bullet comments filling the screen.

”They’re here! The live stream has started!”

”Is it real? Can T1100 really be mass-produced?”

”Don’t brag yet, let’s see what the Chinese Academy of Sciences says first!”

”Where are those dragon haters now? Why aren’t they talking?”

When the live stream countdown hit zero, the President picked up the microphone. His voice was steady and powerful, transmitting across the nation through the cameras:

”Friends from the media, netizens, good afternoon to you all.

After a full day of on-site, full-process, full-parameter, blind sample testing, and repeated verification by our expert team from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we now officially announce the results:

The T1000G grade carbon fiber independently developed by Tianxing Technology, utilizing its revamped production lines for mass production, has the following core parameters:

Tensile Strength: 6.37 GPa, Tensile Modulus: 294GPa, Elongation at Break: 2.1%, Density: 1.80 g/cm³, Specifications: 12K/24K small tow, Single filament diameter: 5 μm.

T1100G grade carbon fiber:

Tensile Strength: 7.00 GPa, Tensile Modulus: 324GPa, Elongation at Break: 2.2%, Density: 1.79 g/cm³, Specifications are also 12K/24K small tow.

I can responsibly state:

The T1000 and t1100 grade carbon fibers produced by Tianxing Technology completely meet the international top-tier standards for the same models in all performance indicators!”

As his voice fell, the conference room was quiet for a moment, followed by—

Boom!

Thunderous applause erupted. Reporters excitedly stood up, their cameras frantically aimed at the main platform.

The live stream comments exploded instantly:

”Holy crap! They did it, they actually did it!!”

”They even mass-produced T1100?! That’s top-tier stuff that only exists in foreign labs on a small scale!”

”The President personally vouched for it, it can’t be fake! Don’t academicians value their reputation?”

The President raised his hand slightly, waiting for the applause to subside, and continued to announce even more momentous news:

”Second, the production lines have passed acceptance testing and possess stable mass production capability. According to Tianxing Technology’s plan, the annual output of T1000 and T1100 will reach 100 tons, with continuous expansion planned for the future!”

The entire venue boiled over again.

The President took a deep breath and threw out the sentence that most excited the Chinese people:

”Most importantly—Tianxing Technology’s pricing: T1000 grade and T1100 grade will have a unified domestic selling price of 3000 Yuan/kilogram!

This price is less than half of the lowest floor price of similar products from Japan’s Toray!”

The live stream instantly went silent for half a second, followed by a tsunami of bullet comments:

”3000?! Less than half?!”

”This is a crusher of developed nations!!”

”The West blockaded us for decades, and Mr. Chen just drove the price down to vegetable level!”

It was Zhang Kai’s turn to take the stage. He held the microphone, his tone firm, every word clearly transmitted across the entire network:

”On behalf of Tianxing Technology, I officially declare here:

First, this price is exclusively supplied to domestic enterprises, scientific research institutes, military aerospace, and other units. There will be no price hikes and no supply cuts!

Second, at this stage, T1000 and t1100 grade carbon fiber will not accept any overseas orders and will not be exported!

Third, Tianxing Technology is currently the first enterprise in the world to achieve stable mass production of t1100 grade carbon fiber!”

”Boom—!!!”

The applause in the conference room nearly lifted the roof. Reporters’ shutters worked until they were hot, and the CCTV live stream lens remained steadily focused on Zhang Kai’s face.

At the same time, the entire network went completely wild.

Netizens who had been suppressed and scolded by dragon haters earlier now held their heads high, flooding the screen with comments:

”Western-worshippers, come out and take a walk! Didn’t you say the Dragon Country was 20 years behind?”

”T1100 is mass-produced and costs half of Toray’s price! This is the technology of the Dragon Country!”

”The hope for humanity’s journey to the stars lies in the East! In the Dragon Country!”

”Mr. Zhang Mingshuan, you can rest assured now! We no longer have to risk our lives to buy carbon fiber!”

The hashtag #MassProductionOfT1000AndT1100GradeCarbonFiber# soared at a visible rate, directly hitting fourth on the Weibo hot search list, with readership exceeding 500 million in half an hour.

Meanwhile, in the domestic materials science, aerospace, and military industry circles, this event was no less than a magnitude nine earthquake.

Countless old professors and engineers watched the live stream, their eyes turning red.

Everyone knew that shortly after the T800 breakthrough, Tianxing had leaped straight to T1100 mass production and simultaneously crashed the price.

This meant that the high-end carbon fiber blockade maintained by the West for decades had finally been torn open with a massive gap.

”If it weren’t for the endorsement of more than a dozen academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, I would never believe a private enterprise could achieve this!”

”What kind of monster is Chen Mo? It’s one thing to handle mobile phones, computers, and the internet, but now he’s directly reached the pinnacle of materials science?”

”In the future, aerospace, missiles, large aircraft, and high-end equipment will no longer have to look at the West’s expressions!”

In the base’s conference room, the President looked towards Chen Mo, who was standing calmly in the back row of the crowd, and sighed sincerely:

”Mr. Chen, with this move, you have solved a major problem that has bottlenecked the entire nation for decades.”

Chen Mo smiled faintly, his tone calm:

”It is what should be done. When it comes to science and technology, if you cannot rely on others, you can only rely on ourselves.”

The Western blockade, the ridicule from public opinion, the technical barriers...

In the face of absolute strength, they were all vulnerable.

Well, who told them they didn’t have a cheat code!
