Chapter 348 Red Star Tractor Prototype! (add 13 to Muruixue)

Base area, steel, [-] tons of annual output, under normal circumstances, it is really difficult for Li Qiang to connect these three words together. China, which is an industrial desert, has such a steel factory in northern Shaanxi in northern China.

What is the concept of 3.5 steel production?
Last year, the national government's steel output was about 70 tons, which means that the output of this steel plant has reached [-]% of the total steel output in China.

How is this done?
If the iron and steel plants in this statistical document were only on paper, Li Qiang would not have acted like this. It was entirely because of the total output and single-day output data marked on the back of Yulin Iron and Steel Plant.

The appearance of production data means that this steel plant has entered production, not on paper!

calm.

keep cool.

Li Qiang endured the horror in his heart. Although the content described in the statistical document was beyond his imagination, he could not lose his mind because of this. He took a few deep breaths in a row to force his mind to regain consciousness, and then asked Lu Yuan: "Comrade Lu, can I I want to know the situation of Yulin Iron and Steel Works."

"Comrade Chief, the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant is under the top secret of the Military Industry Bureau, and I have no right to tell you for the time being." Lu Yuan shook his head and responded.

"Okay, I know."

Li Qiang was startled when he heard the words, and immediately understood the meaning. The temporary meaning is simple and clear. If you want to know all the information about Yulin Iron and Steel Plant, you must wait for him to officially take over the Military Industry Bureau: "What about the Supreme Science and Technology Group?"

"Same, the highest science and technology group belongs to the top secret military industry bureau." Lu Yuan continued shaking his head.

"I understand." Seeing this, Li Qiang nodded, already having some guesses in his mind, he gently closed the statistics file, looked out the window, and fell into deep thought.

If nothing else, Yulin Iron and Steel Works is a work created by the highest technology team.

[Annual production of 500 yuan, to reach this scale, at least nearly [-] million yuan must be invested, and important equipment such as open hearth furnaces of more than [-] tons must be purchased from outside, but this core equipment is strictly controlled by various industrial countries. It is basically impossible to obtain it. In addition, steel formula and metallurgical engineering technology are also necessary. Industrial steelmaking and local blast furnace steelmaking are completely two concepts... How are these things realized?Unimaginable, really unimaginable. 】

[In terms of military industry, a light weapon system and a heavy weapon system are planned to improve the combat effectiveness of the troops. In terms of industry, some heavy industries with steel as the core are planned to produce raw materials for the military industry, and road projects are added to improve the efficiency of material and raw material transportation. The problem, however, is that the transportation of materials and raw materials is a big problem, and the problems of power supply and skilled labor cannot be ignored. 】

[For bases that rely mainly on animal power and have never been exposed to industrialization, it is extremely difficult to meet the transportation gap for industrial development, while northern Shaanxi has always been in a backward state of a near-feudal economy, and the construction of electric power infrastructure is completely zero. To engage in industry, it is necessary to build power stations and lay power grids to fundamentally solve the problems of power generation and transmission. Skilled workers can solve them through production competitions and emergency training under the Soviet model, and then establish a sound and comprehensive education system to continuously deliver fresh energy for industrial development. blood. 】

[Transportation, electricity, workers, for now, these are the three things I will do after taking over the Military Industry Bureau. There is no need to change the military industry production and industrial development, and Xiao Guicao can follow suit. 】

[Supreme Science and Technology Team... Thank you. 】

Li Qiang, who already had a basic understanding of the Military Industry Bureau, was full of thoughts in his mind, waiting for preliminary solutions and countermeasures to various problems, and then gathered his mind, silently waiting for the moment when he arrived at the base.

Before arriving at the base area, he encountered an unprecedented surprise. Now Li Qiang is really looking forward to what he will see after arriving in Yancheng.

Time passed quietly.

Two hours later, the Buick, which was driving smoothly on the road, slowed down slowly, and finally stopped firmly on the east bank of Matouguan.

When Li Qiang got out of the car, the lively scene that belonged exclusively to Matouguan came into view. A group of middle-aged men in white turbans were carrying heavy baskets filled with black magnetite powder. High-quality concentrates with a grade of more than 50% after careful selection.

Some middle-aged men came to the pier with baskets of concentrated ore, and boarded the cargo ship that went back and forth between the east and west coasts in an orderly manner. The small fishing boat, loaded with about three or four hundred catties of magnetite powder, picked up the bamboo pole and started to punting, heading towards the more prosperous west bank downstream.

Big ships are slow and many, small ships are fast and few.

bustling.

Yes, the once remote and barren Matouguan has now evolved into the most prosperous place at the junction of Shanshan and Shanxi provinces. This is the largest iron ore trading market on the border between the two provinces.

People from the east bank need to cross the river with their own iron ore. After reaching the east bank, they sell it to Taihang Industrial Company, which specializes in buying iron ore.

Li Qiang stood on the outskirts of Matouguan, overlooking the cement pier and market built below. The reason why it is called the market is because there are not only shops and various stalls here, but also several fishing boat workshops in full swing.

Because of the need to carry iron ore across the river, ships on the Yellow River were expensive for a while, and most of the fishing boats and cargo ships in the Linfen area gathered here.

"Sir, this is the Linfen raw material supply system we established. Linfen has very high-quality magnetite, but it is not convenient for us to mine it on a large scale, so we used this method of purchasing iron ore."

Lu Yuan came to Li Qiang's side, looked at the Matouguan Bazaar that had sprung up relying on the purchase of iron ore, and introduced: "Iron ore is purchased at a price ranging from three yuan to ten yuan per ton, and the grade of iron ore is used as the basis for judgment. The higher the purchase price, the higher the purchase price, which is welcomed by farmers and merchants in Linfen area. The purchase location is placed on the west bank, so that they can be transported across the Yellow River by themselves. First, it is convenient for transportation, and second, it is conducive to protection. Over time, it has formed its current shape. , we will build cement piers on both sides of the strait.”

Three to ten yuan per ton. Normally, a fishing boat pulls three to five hundred catties of iron ore. Calculated at five yuan per ton, you can earn one and twenty-five cents. If it is high-quality iron with a grade of 60% or more Mine, calculated at ten yuan per ton, directly doubled the income.

Since ancient times, money has touched people's hearts. For the people in Linfen area, it takes only two or three days to earn one or two oceans of income.

"This is a very good way to do big things with a small amount of money, and it suits our situation according to local conditions. How much is the daily purchase volume?" Li Qiang looked at it, nodded, and affirmed it in his heart.

Don't worry about spending money, it's worth the money.

Li Qiang, who has been in the Soviet Union for six years, has a deep understanding of the field of iron and steel metallurgy. There is a huge gap between 30% iron ore and 50% iron ore. Whether it is smelting costs or unit output, 50% iron ore The ores are far ahead.

For iron and steel plants, the higher the grade of ore, the lower the smelting cost, the lower the content of iron and steel impurities, and the higher the quality and performance.

High-grade raw ore is most suitable for the smelting of special steel products.

"Relying on mobilizing the masses and honest transactions, our daily purchase volume is currently stable at about [-] tons. According to the forecast, it may reach more than [-] tons by the end of the year." Lu Yuan replied.

Li Qiang was thoughtful, and asked again: "How many can be shipped to the steel factory?"

"Due to the shortage of transportation capacity, these high-quality iron ores have not been allocated transportation capacity for the time being. They are all stored in the open-air warehouse on the West Bank, and [-] tons of iron ore have been piled up." Hearing this question, Lu Yuan showed a slightly embarrassed expression and said helplessly.

The ore is good, but it cannot be transported, this is the reality.

Hearing this expected answer, Li Qiang smiled, nodded slightly, without making any comments, and said softly, "Let's cross the river first."

Say something?
No need.

Although the purchase of Matouguan iron ore has the problem that it cannot be transported, it is better than nothing.

Objectively speaking, the development of the base area to the present level has greatly exceeded Li Qiang's expectations.

The group waited for a while, and then, after the coordination of the staff on the east bank, they crossed the gentle and gentle Yellow River in a fishing boat and came to the west bank. From the moment Li Qiang got off the boat and stood at the pier on the west bank, he was officially standing on the land of the base superior.

After crossing the Yellow River and having a simple lunch at the purchase point on the west bank, Li Qiang and his party took a special Dodge car and drove on the new Yanma Highway with a gravel roadbed of double lane width. Due to the lack of cement production, most of the new Yanma Highway The road section is not paved with cement, but is temporarily open to traffic on a gravel roadbed.

However, it is much better than the old dirt road.

Going around for an afternoon, when the sun was setting, Li Qiang, who was staying in the cargo box of the Dodge car, suddenly felt that the road surface became smoother, and the body no longer shook. When he looked around, he saw a familiar and straight gray cement road spreading forward. Going away, in the distance, a scene embedded in the land of northern Shaanxi appeared, shining like shining stars in the night sky, as if sending out an inexplicable guidance.

The terminal ahead, Yancheng.

……

The warm red glow fell on the girl gently, as if she had been covered with a layer of plain red clothes. Lin Wan stood quietly in the static test area planned by the open space of the machinery manufacturing plant, holding a pen in one hand and an experiment notebook in the other, following the instructions given by Yu Hua. The detected information is processed.

"The final inspection of the engine is normal and ready."

"The tire pressure is normal, and the tread is free of cracks and defects."

"The final inspection of the steel plate is normal."

"Clutches, brakes, accelerators are finalized and ready to go..."

"Okay, I'm announcing that the prototype of the Red Star tractor has started a dynamic test."

After completing the final inspection of the dynamic test of the prototype car, Yu Hua stood up, faced the crowd with a solemn face, and said solemnly: "Now, add diesel and put an egg on the water tank."
