When the world's largest industrial and agricultural country enters a full-scale wartime mechanism, what level can production capacity reach?
In 2015, domestic GDP reached 154.6 trillion Chinese yuan, of which military-related expenditures were about 3%, which was about 4.6 trillion Chinese yuan.
Once it is fully transferred to wartime standards, we can actually refer to the United States during World War II as to what level its production capacity can reach.
Before the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1940, U.S. military-related expenditures only accounted for about 1.7% of GDP.
By 1943, expenditures in this area had soared to nearly 40% of GDP.
As the largest industrial country at the time, the United States, with the support of ultra-high funding, made warships and aircraft as crazy as dumplings.
The country is now much stronger than the United States in 1940. Strong here refers to comparison with other countries at the same time.
After all, China, which is in the post-industrial era, has a terrifying industrial production capacity that is slightly more than twice that of the world's second to tenth industrialized countries combined.
Comparing the data of specific industries can reveal the huge gap.
Energy field: The current annual power generation capacity is the same as that of the world. After the comprehensive transformation, it will not be a problem to explode a hundred times a year; the current annual production capacity of coal-fired oil is 530 million tons, and after the comprehensive transformation, the annual output can be increased to about 800 million tons.
Material field: The annual steel production is 550 million tons. Behind this figure is actually the domestic steel mills themselves reducing their production capacity.
Since 2014, domestic steelmaking plants have gradually shifted from converter steelmaking to electric furnace steelmaking, and the proportion of electric furnaces has skyrocketed from 11% to about 75%.
Electric furnace steelmaking is because electricity prices continue to fall. In addition, electric furnace steelmaking can use scrap steel and scrap iron. There are 10 billion tons of scrap steel and scrap iron in the country. Even if the supply of iron ore abroad is cut off, in the state of steel self-circulation, it has supported more than 10 billion tons of scrap steel and scrap iron.
There have been no problems for several years.
As for other materials and ores, they all have huge production volumes or have strategic reserves. There are also desalination plants that can extract minerals from the ocean to supplement.
The fields of machinery, semiconductors, electrical appliances, vehicles, ships, aircraft, etc. can all rapidly explode in production capacity, achieve self-sufficiency, and even surpass the total production capacity of other industries.
Although it is gradually changing now, this terrible production capacity has begun to show its fangs.

Jiangnan Shipyard.
Technicians and engineers are renovating five 200,000-ton docks. In order to enhance confidentiality and safety, the docks have been transformed from open-air docks into fully enclosed docks.
Using seawater rock-forming agent and directly installing steel frames and formwork, these five 200,000-ton shipyards were completed in less than a week.
The sealed wall hundreds of meters high is intimidating. The ceiling of the dock is covered with two layers of anti-detection fabric. Even if the remote sensing satellites scan continuously, nothing can be seen.
Sun Shangli, general manager of Jiangnan Shipyard, and Tian Jingxian, chief engineer, were discussing.
Their factory was not assigned the production task of Baiqi-class battleships. The production of Baiqi-class battleships was taken over by the Dalian Shipyard, Changlu Shipyard, and Qinhuangdao Shipyard in the north.
Jiangnan Shipyard, Zhoushan Shipyard, and Zhonghua Shipyard are responsible for building another type of ship—large aircraft carriers.
The technology of the hull purchased from Uzbekistan had long been understood by Dalian Shipyard. However, Dalian Shipyard took over the construction task of the Baiqi class midway, so the task of domestically produced aircraft carriers was gradually transferred to Jiangnan Shipyard.
"Manager Sun, now that the renovation of docks No. 12 and No. 13 has been completed, we can start the construction task." Chief Engineer Tian Jingxian said.
"Then let's get started!"
Tian Jing first sent mission plans to various departments through brain wave glasses.
The shipyard began to enter the production stage in an orderly manner. The large gantry crane lifted the alloy frame, keel, and formwork to the designated position one by one.
Engineers and technicians, wearing customized work exoskeletons, weld the alloy frame and keel together, add rivets, or install templates.
Tian Jingxian and several engineers and ship designers inspected the hull while supervising the work. The domestic aircraft carrier they built is actually different from ordinary aircraft carriers.
The aircraft carriers currently being built in China are divided into two models.
One model is the "Taishan-class amphibious assault ship", with a full load displacement of 86,000 tons, nuclear power, and carrying 60 carrier-based aircraft and 15 helicopters.
The second model is a "provincial strategic aircraft carrier" with a full load displacement of 189,000 tons, nuclear power, and can carry 100 carrier-based aircraft and 20 helicopters.
Jiangnan Shipyard is responsible for provincial-level construction tasks, and the first batch is to build 5 ships.
Now it's really like making dumplings. The major shipyards are at full capacity, and the supporting factories have also entered full production.
Relying on the seawater rock-forming agent shipbuilding method, these five provincial-level ships can enter service as early as February next year.

Shenyang Xinsong Robot is currently the second largest industrial robot manufacturer in China.
Together with Shenguang Exoskeleton, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Shenguang Instrument Group, and Luban Zaozhuo, a subsidiary of Norinco, they are also known as the world's three largest industrial robot manufacturers.
In fact, Shenyang Siasong Robot can also be said to be the largest manufacturer of civilian industrial robots, because Shenguang Exoskeleton Company makes high-end products, and the mid- to low-end products are covered by Shenyang Siasong Robot and Luban Zaozhuo Company.
Although the domestic demand for industrial robots is growing rapidly. This year, Siasong Robot Company has supplied 479,000 industrial robots of various types to the country. However, this production capacity actually only allows the production line to activate about 37% of its production capacity.
More than two hundred engineers and technicians who were just called back by the company are adjusting the production line and concentrating the production tasks of civilian industrial robots on one-third of the production line.
The remaining two-thirds of the production lines were transformed into combat robots and exoskeleton armor production lines.
Coupled with the working status of three shifts, it is expected that the Xinsong Robot Factory can produce 1.5 million combat robots and 1.5 million exoskeleton armors annually.
An engineer who was debugging data suddenly asked in surprise: "Hey, Lao Yang, why don't you see that boy Fan Jieying?"
Lao Yang, who was replacing the drill bit for the robotic arm drilling machine, replied with a sly smile: "What do you think?"
"Could it be..." The engineer made a gesture of wiping his neck.
Lao Yang put down the wrench and shook his head: "It's not that exaggerated. That boy was sent to the Taklimakan Desert in Xinjiang to play in the sand."
The engineer complained while adjusting the data: "Haha, I finally sent this birdie away. He has been blowing there all day long, looking like a spirited foreigner..."
Lao Yang said with a smile: "Why do you need to know this kind of calcium-deficient dog? I have always regarded it as a joke. It is also a kind of fun to see him jumping up and down there every day."
"Ha ha……"
Others also laughed, and many people actually thought Fan Jieying and these people were a joke, just like looking at monkeys.
None of these people knew that they had been exposed to the sun, but they did not expect that everyone would know their identities.
After entering a wartime state, these people will naturally have to be eliminated, and with the expansion of new humans to more than 500 million, these people will not be able to make any trouble.
The Ghost Secret Service can even fake the fact that these people are still in contact, so that the outside world will not notice anything unusual.
Everything is for victory, and the new humanity is rapidly transforming in silence.
