The 2003 China Star World Conference was widely regarded by observers as a milestone year in the development history of China Star Group. This year marked the official leaping into the ranks of Asia's largest industrial groups. A listing in Hong Kong in 1997, when several companies were shell companies, and a company with high suspicion of cheating money had grown into a world-class large company.

At the World Congress of this year, the group's three major manufacturing aces, Xingchen Manufacturing, Nebula Electronics and Xingmei Fashion announced that it would try to make major transformations. Xingchen Manufacturing and Nebula Electronics first proposed to fully embrace the Internet of Things. Xingchen Manufacturing has made significant progress in CNC machinery through continuous research and development of high-tech precision machinery. The emergence of "smart" driverless cars represents the group combining machinery and sensors and wireless communication network technologies, and has made new breakthroughs in the fields of unmanned control and industrial automation. This technology was commented by the on-site reporter as a major technological innovation in the century-old history of the automobile industry, which also marks that Xingchen Manufacturing Group will focus on autonomous driving and networked CNC platforms as the next stage of research and development.

At the same time, the luxury submarine physical and supersonic concept business passenger aircraft model launched by Xingchen Manufacturing at the exhibition once again shocked visitors at home and abroad. Many wealthy domestic and foreign tycoons who failed to participate in the Dubai luxury exhibition last time once again contributed a large order to Xingchen Manufacturing during the conference, which also marks that Xingchen Manufacturing, which used to hide behind the scenes, has gradually come to the spotlight and introduced and promoted its own luxury high-end products to ordinary consumers.

Since 2001, the China Star Conference has set up a special session on security products, attracting many powerful units such as military and police in many countries. Military personnel from many countries present showed strong interest in the manufacturing of powerful industrial automation and unmanned control technology of Star. After all, civilian driverless cars and military unmanned combat vehicles on the battlefield are separated by a piece of paper. The U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research and Projects Agency (Darpa) set up a million award not just to commend college students who play remote-controlled cars in the desert, but to serve the war that the United States is starting.

Now under the huge pressure of rugged mountains in Afghanistan and Iraq's endless roadside bombs. Frontline soldiers complained and called for the development of a driverless car as soon as possible to reduce casualties and increase load capacity. The demand from the battlefield is undoubtedly the most urgent. The trend of unmanned informatization of new wars has been recognized. Other countries that do not want to be abandoned by the new military wave will not dare to neglect this. The unmanned control technology made by Stars is undoubtedly very popular.

In people's impression, Starmei Fashion, which has occupied most of the domestic fast-moving consumer goods industry through detergents, toothpaste, cosmetics, etc., is fighting with the multinational fast-moving consumer goods giant. Although it has recently entered the luxury jewelry industry. Advertising bombardment of high-end ready-to-wear, jewelry and other advertisements, everyone is still aware of it as a feminine enterprise that mainly makes money from women and children, and seems to have nothing to do with terms such as military masculinity.

However, on the security exhibit counter of this conference, a large number of products marked with the Xingmei Fashion logo appeared, which were various bulletproof vests and special composite fabrics that were wear-resistant and fire-resistant. At the press conference of the conference, there was a man next to the usual co-president Hao Mingming and Zhou Yuxi. They introduced that this was the third new co-president of the group. When they were told that he was Ge Natural, the former general manager of the technical department of Formosa Plastics Group, the audience was in an uproar. Many reporters with keen sense of smell immediately began to publish, saying that Xingmei Fashion was going to get involved in the composite materials industry.

Everyone is familiar with Taiwan Formosa Plastics Group. Its founder Wang Yongqing once occupied the throne of Asia's richest man for a long time. In Taiwan, a small place with scarce resources, it was actually a miracle that Tai Plastics Group, which is a big company that has a place in the upstream of the petrochemical, chemical, plastic and other petroleum industries. It also shows that Wang Yongqing's business ability is good at dancing. Among them, Formosa Plastics' most proud achievement is that it has carbon fiber material manufacturing technology, which is known as the cornerstone of the modern aviation industry.

In the modern aerospace industry, the requirements for materials have reached a harsh level, which must be stronger than steel, as well as ultra-light weight and high temperature resistant body. Even titanium alloys in traditional metal materials cannot meet the requirements. When the road is over, scientists turn their attention to new materials. Since the birth of modern composite materials in the 1940s, after years of development, composite materials have become an indispensable and important product in the modern chemical industry.

Composite materials generally refer to materials with new properties, which are composed of two or more materials of different properties, and are combined by physical or chemical methods to form new properties in macroscopic materials. Strictly speaking, the ancient times of using wheat straw to build walls with clay and reinforced concrete that has been used for hundreds of years were also considered composite materials. Composite materials are divided into metal and non-metallic according to substrates, but because the scope and form of non-metallic materials are more well-known, the composite materials generally refer to non-metallic substrates.

In the 1940s, due to the needs of the aviation industry, glass fiber reinforced plastics (commonly known as fiberglass) were developed, and the name composite materials appeared. After the 1950s, high-strength and high-modulus fibers such as carbon fiber, graphite fiber and boron fiber were successively developed. In the 1970s, aramid fibers and silicon carbide fibers appeared. These high-strength and high-modulus fibers can be combined with synthetic resins, carbon, graphite, ceramics, rubber, or metal matrixes such as aluminum, magnesium, and titanium to form a composite material with its own characteristics.

Among composite materials, fiber reinforced materials are the most widely used and the amount is the largest. Its characteristics are small specific gravity, large specific strength and specific modulus. For example, the specific strength and specific modulus of carbon fiber and epoxy resin are several times larger than those of steel and aluminum alloys, and have excellent chemical stability, friction reduction and wear resistance, self-lubricating, heat resistance, fatigue resistance, creep resistance, sound resistant, electrical insulation and other properties. At present, the annual output of composite materials worldwide has reached more than 5.5 million tons, with an annual output value of more than 130 billion US dollars. If high-value products from Europe and the United States are included in the output value, their output value will be even more amazing. From a global perspective, the production of composite materials in the world is mainly concentrated in Europe, the United States and East Asia.

Among composite materials, carbon fiber is undoubtedly the most well-known as the revolutionary material of the aerospace industry. The composite materials used by the latest fifth-generation fighter Raptor in the United States exceeded 50%, and most of them are carbon fiber parts. Carbon fiber was successfully developed by Japan Toray in the 1970s. With this revolutionary material, Toray has become one of the world's chemical fiber giants from a small business of dozens of people and has become the world's first carbon fiber manufacturer. Its chemical products are used in tapes from tape recorders and cameras, artificial leather, shoes, luggage, furniture, clothing... In this regard, Dongray has developed into one of the few large chemical companies in the world.

Carbon fiber is a new dual-use material for military and civilians. It is now widely used in the fields of construction, chemical, industry, aerospace and supercars. It is a technology-intensive and politically sensitive key material. The Paris Coordination Committee, led by the United States, previously implemented an embargo and blockade on socialist countries. After the dissolution of the Batumi Association, the shadow of the embargo blockade was still shrouded in China for a long time, and advanced carbon fiber technology is still unable to be introduced, especially high-performance primary silk technology. Even if China enters WTO, the situation has not changed significantly.

At present, the world's carbon fiber production is mainly controlled by a few companies including Toray, Mitsubishi Rayon, Hexcel, Zoltek, Germany SGL Group, South Korea's Taiguang Industry and Zhong Formula Plastics Group. They have mastered the core technology of carbon fiber production and can produce large-scale large-scale production. Although China has its own carbon fiber technology, the progress is slow and the purchase of outsourcing is large. Carbon fiber was listed as a key new product for the national chemical fiber industry to support, and is a hot topic for the research and development of the domestic new materials industry. However, domestic manufacturers lack key technologies, and the output and quality have not improved.

Starmei Fashion proposed to learn from Japan's successful experience and enter the market of composite materials, especially fiber materials. In addition to carbon fiber, as another composite material, aramid fiber is the main force of today's soft bulletproof materials, and the United States, Russia and other countries have made great achievements in it. Japan's "entrant" microporous waterproof and breathable fabric is a cutting-edge product of waterproof and breathable materials, and shines in outdoor activities such as ski clothing and tents. At the same time, the company's high-end fabrics such as imitation wool and silk launched on textile fabrics are widely used in high-end garments in Europe and the United States.

At this time, Xingmei Fashion announced that it would be natural to improve the fabric of its products. In fact, Xingmei had already started research and development in this area. Yang Xing introduced to Wang Yunqi that the shear thickening liquid protective clothing used in the bid for martial arts was from Xingmei Fashion. At this exhibition, many tall male models wore military uniforms and bulletproof vests provided by Xingmei Fashion, and drove off-road vehicles made of carbon fiber shells whizzing outside the venue. I believe no one thought this was just Xingmei Fashion's promotional head, which greatly changed the impression of Xingmei's feminine beauty.

The emergence of Ge Nature marks a major transformation from Jiahua to a chemical giant. This is an important part of Yang Xing's strategic layout. The domestic military has always been resentful of the backwardness of composite materials technology, but was previously blocked by the Batumi. It can be seen from the Soviet secrets that the West has kept this technology confidential. The Soviets could only make some achievements in materials such as aramid fibers. Yang Xing considered using his own private procurement technology to save the country in a curve.

However, Japan, the United States, South Korea and other countries were very strict in this regard, and Yang Xing tried several times but failed. Until he heard that Formosa Plastics Group has the core technology of carbon fiber, Yang Xing became interested. However, Taiwan’s current political climate is very unfavorable to Zhongxing Group. The goals of Xingwei Resources and Star Manufacturing are too obvious. In the end, he used Xingmei Fashion’s name to develop new textile fabrics as a cover-up. After paying high compensation, he poached Ge Natural and his R&D team from Formosa Plastics Group. After several years of secret efforts, he occasionally showed his strength at this year’s World Conference.!~!
