The Boss of the Yan Family in Siheyuan

Chapter 284 Chief Engineer Yan proposes a ten-year railway reconstruction plan

The next day, as soon as I get off work.

Yan Jiecheng honestly rushed to Mao Laochu.Even though Mao Lao is old, he still has a hot temper.

As for Mr. Mao, Yan Jiecheng didn't dare to really offend him. After all, he was already over eighty this year, so it would be good if he got angry.

When Yan Jiecheng arrived at Mao's hometown.The old man was sitting on the sofa with a journal and was reading it carefully.

Yan Jiecheng hurried over and said, "Teacher, please take a rest."

After hearing Yan Jiecheng's promise, Mr. Mao put down his reading glasses and the journal in his hand.

Said: "I also want to rest, but you kid won't stop.

You have the nerve to publish hundreds of papers on your bridge project.

If not, it seems that your prefabricated box beams are not bad and can be replicated in batches on a large scale.

I'm too lazy to read your paper.

This beautiful bridge is obviously a work of art.But your kid turned it all into something on an industrial assembly line, lifeless and full of craftsmanship. "

Yan Jiecheng also smiled after hearing this and was ready to refute.

I know my own business, and the artistry and design of the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Line Viaduct really have no artistry at all.

But it is practical and can be seen by everyone.

Seeing that Yan Jiecheng was still a little unconvinced, Mr. Mao said, "Your boy's engineering philosophy is very similar to that of Yingjiang's engineers.

They just think about doing nothing, and think about designing bridges on a large scale and programmatically.

However, you kid must know that their facilities are well-equipped and we cannot compare.We can only save a lot of money and human and financial resources through ingenious design. . "

After Teacher Mao finished speaking, Yan Jiecheng also smiled and nodded.

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Mao Lao, but still insisted on his own point of view.

Said: "Teacher, you also know that the future development direction of engineering will definitely rely on the development of large-scale construction equipment.

Our country's infrastructure is weak, and we will definitely vigorously develop it in the future.

We don’t have time to train architects, we can only train a group of engineers. "

Besides, if there are geniuses like you, they are in the minority after all.

Most of them are just like students, ordinary people.

Therefore, only through replicable projects can we vigorously develop our infrastructure industry.

After hearing what Yan Jiecheng said, Mr. Mao thought about it carefully and murmured, "Am I really wrong?"

Suddenly the old man seemed to have thought of something, turned around and stared at Yan Jiecheng and said: "You kid is here, trying to change the concept for me.

When did I say that I would not develop this standard and replicable box beam?

I just ask that you, kid, don’t indulge in this kind of repetitive construction.You must learn to challenge yourself, improve your design capabilities, and increase the artistry of your design works.

I didn't expect that you dare to trick an old man like me. You have no conscience at all. "

Yan Jiecheng really didn't know why Mr. Mao came to him this time.

The two of them talked for a long time. They were just chatting about family matters or talking about some technology, and did not say anything else.

Seeing that Yan Jie was restless, Mr. Mao asked him to come to the study angrily.

Pointing to a bridge model on the table, he said: "I am really an impatient boy. I made this bridge model myself.

This is given to you. Congratulations on the success of the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line project.To be honest, you really impressed me, an old man, this time.

I have to say that the launch of the China High-Speed ​​Railway is a great relief to humanity. "

Yan Jiecheng said modestly: "It's not because you teach well, teacher.".

Mr. Mao was quite happy at first, but when he heard that Yan Jie was like this, he also scolded the viaduct of the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Line as an example.He said that if you lift the track and do something, you have to hit it
Then he quickly said: "Next time, please don't say that I taught you well. I really didn't expect that someone could design such an ugly bridge."

Yan Jiecheng felt very embarrassed when he heard this, and he felt helpless when he mentioned this again.

It is not easy to meet such a teacher who has obsessive-compulsive disorder about aesthetics.

This time Mao Lao called Yan Jiecheng over, and it was indeed okay. He just wanted to give Yan Jiecheng a model of the bridge.

As a teacher, he is still very proud of Yan Jiecheng's achievements.So during this time, I personally made a bridge model.

Yan Jiecheng held the bridge model in his hands and felt very grateful to Mr. Mao when he went out.

Even though Mr. Mao was always the worst to him, the old man noticed Yan Jiecheng's performance over the years.

As for whether he took it to heart, Yan Jiecheng didn't know.

Just after the National Day, Yan Jiecheng never waited for the good things the leader said.

He just waited for the leadership conversation. After the conversation, he was officially appointed as the chief engineer of the ministry, leading the chief engineer's office and responsible for national railway technical issues.

He also serves as president of the Academy of Railway Sciences, director of the National Railway Technical Committee, and deputy director of the Railway Development Strategy Committee.

Yan Jiecheng finally owned a special car openly and openly.

The first thing Yan Jiecheng did when he took office was to convene a technical committee meeting to discuss the preparation of regulations related to high-speed railways.

Everyone is very enthusiastic about discussing this issue.

After all, the hottest thing in the railway industry right now is high-speed railway.As an expert in the industry, who doesn’t want to do some research and achievements in this industry.

Members of the technical committee are all familiar with Yan Jiecheng.After all, Yan Jiecheng has been a member of the technical committee for many years.

Everyone also knows enough about him. He is young, capable, and accomplished. He is also a disciple of the old director Luo, so he is expected to be the director of the committee.

The entire discussion was centered around professional issues, and no one came to Yan Jiecheng to make a thorn in his side.

Yan Jiecheng also put forward his own views at the beginning.

“You are all old people in our railway industry and you all have rich experience.

In formulating this standard, we must implement the principle of safety first.

For the first time, we must make it clear that high-speed railways only operate high-speed rolling stock, and strengthen the design of safety guarantee functions in roadbed, bridges, tunnels, ballastless tracks, stations, passenger stations, traction power supply, communication signals and other majors.

It is necessary to highlight the design requirements for improving service quality such as people-oriented, convenient, fast, comfortable and comprehensive transportation.

It is necessary to focus on embodying the green construction concept of saving land, saving energy, saving water, saving materials and protecting the environment throughout the life cycle of high-speed rail construction.

We must pay attention to combining our national conditions, economic and social development levels, transportation needs, environmental conditions and other factors.

Reasonably optimize speed matching, equipment matching and main design parameters of each major.

To guide the design of high-speed rail operation and dispatching systems under complex road network conditions and the design of passenger transport service systems with high density and large passenger flow, the technical standards formulated must meet the requirements of systematicness, advancement, maturity and economic rationality. "

After the meeting, the technical committee organized manpower to compile relevant regulations on China's high-speed railways.

So that its future design, construction, and operation can be based on evidence.

The promulgation of regulations is not done by a group of people. Yan Jiecheng organized various forces on behalf of the technical committee.

We further focused on scientific research on key technologies and weak links in the complete set of high-speed rail technologies, and comprehensively and systematically summarized the experience in the construction of the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line.

The technical committee comprehensively sorted out the opinions and suggestions put forward by various parties in the construction of the high-speed railway standard system.

Together with research institutes, universities across the country, locomotive factories, and railway troops, we have organized expert research and demonstrations for many times to fully absorb domestic scientific research results and foreign advanced design concepts.

Finally, the National Railway Technical Committee decided to compile the first batch of two design specifications, "Interim Regulations on the Design of Railway Stations for High-Speed ​​Passenger Dedicated Lines" and "Design Specifications for High-Speed ​​Railways (Trial)".

To standardize the preparation work, at the request of Yan Jiecheng, the preparation period is ten months.

In other words, these two specifications will be released in August 81.

In order to standardize the preparation work, their technical committee set up a research group on the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line, which is permanently stationed on the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line.

This facilitates experts from various professions to conduct detailed and microscopic observations on the design concept, engineering quality, operation management and other aspects of the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line.

As these tasks continue to be arranged, Yan Jiecheng can be regarded as injecting a shot of chicken blood into the technical committee.A group of experts were yelling and working all night long drafting documents.

Next, Yan Jiecheng conducted research on the locomotive factories and locomotive research institutes affiliated to the Academy of Railway Sciences.

But having said that, Yan Jiecheng has been the vice president of the Academy of Railway Sciences for many years and has a relatively comprehensive understanding of the Academy of Railway Sciences.

The reason why he wanted to investigate was to prepare for some mergers and adjustments of the locomotive research institutions under the Academy of Railway Sciences.

In particular, the high-speed rail research institute, Zhuzhou Locomotive Research Institute, and Shaoshan Locomotive Research Institute where he worked previously have made business adjustments.

In Yan Jiecheng's vision, the High-speed Railway Research Institute will focus on researching high-speed EMU technology and high-speed rail systems in the future.

The Zhuzhou Research Institute is specifically responsible for the research of large-scale railway operation vehicles.The Shaoshan Research Institute specializes in the research of electrified traction locomotives.

Nowadays, the businesses of these research institutes overlap with each other, and some scientific research projects are also developed repeatedly, which is a serious waste of resources, manpower, and funds.

Of course, the adjustment of these institutions cannot be decided by Yan Jiecheng alone.

The reason why he went to investigate was to communicate with each research institute.

Try to persuade the other party and obtain their consent and cooperation.After all, this kind of merger of research institutions involves not only personnel transfers, equipment transfers, business transfers, etc.

In short, all aspects are involved, and the interests of all parties need to be fully considered.

After all, since ancient times, nothing has ever been done through a simple file command.

This time, the merger and adjustment of the Machinery Research Institute.Yan Jiecheng is not just considering future development. The key is to make decisions based on the actual situation.

The most critical issue is that Yan Jiecheng faces the dilemma of tight transportation capacity in the current railway system.

In order to improve the traction capacity of the locomotive and increase the railway transportation capacity, we thought of integrating the locomotive mechanism.

Nowadays, the reform and opening up policy has just been implemented, and the state's funds are very limited. Except for some basic construction, other funds are invested in people's livelihood.

And because the country has just opened, people see that the aviation industry and highways in Western developed countries are relatively developed, and railways are regarded as a sunset industry.

Although there are already high-speed railways such as the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line, the domestic economic strength at this time cannot develop high-speed trains.

Therefore, a considerable number of people have begun to set off a wave of anti-high-speed rail and anti-Yan Jiecheng.

After all, in their understanding, even the two world giants, Mao Xiong and Yingjiang, have not developed high-speed rail.

What other options are there for the railway?A perfect sunset industry.

Therefore, it is still difficult for Yan Jiecheng.When the Beijing-Tianjin passenger line was being built, those people shouted, "Wait for your people."

Today, the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line has been opened.These people are shouting again, facing the world, aligning themselves with developed countries, and abandoning the old and dilapidated sunset industry - railways.

Anyway, these people can always find a reason to attack.

Nowadays, the railway transportation capacity is just in time. The locomotive power is not powerful enough and the traction force is limited, making it difficult to meet the growing transportation demand.

In addition, after the reform and opening up, more and more people went out to work, making it difficult to get a bus ticket.

Therefore, there are more attacks.

Yan Jiecheng is the technical person in charge of the department, so his focus is entirely on capacity expansion.

And this work involves the research and production of locomotives.

After Yan Jiecheng completed his research on relevant units of the Academy of Railway Sciences, Yan Jiecheng made one request to the institute and the locomotive factory: high-power locomotives.

Whether it is an internal combustion engine or an electric locomotive, we need high-power locomotives now, and we must first increase the transport capacity.

If the railway has no transportation capacity, how can it be economical?

In Yan Jiecheng, the documents for starting mass production of relatively high-power locomotives were sent to relevant units through the General Engineering Office.

At the same time, a report was submitted to the ministry on the import of some high-power diesel locomotives and electric locomotives from abroad.

As the chief engineer of the department, Yan Jiecheng has some very careful plans for the next work.

It is not realistic to build new railways nowadays. After all, all the funds across the country are invested in people's livelihood industries, and railways, a so-called sunset industry, do not get much investment.

Therefore, Yan Jiecheng feels that the main work of the ministry in the past ten years lies in technological transformation and upgrading.

The first is the upgrade of railway line equipment, such as upgrading the previous P38 and P43 rails to P60 rails.

The second is to unify the line specifications and upgrade the narrow gauge railways on the old lines to standard gauge railways.

The third is to upgrade single-track railways to double-track railways.

The fourth is to complete the elimination and replacement of main line steam locomotives within ten years.

The fifth is to vigorously develop electrified railways and complete the electrification transformation of 80.00% of the railway network within ten years.

Yan Jiecheng designated these five measures as the ten-year work plan of the General Engineering Office.

Yan Jiecheng conducted extensive opinion solicitation and discussion on these five work measures at the ministry's technical committee, and gained unanimous recognition and support from everyone.

Subsequently, Yan Jiecheng also submitted a plan for the "Railway Upgrading and Transformation Plan for 1980-1990" to the ministry in the name of the General Engineering Office and the Technical Committee.

It is written in great detail, with more than 70 pages.

The leader took it very seriously after receiving it.Later, I took it to the forum for discussion.

Everyone feels that the ten-year technology plan formulated by Yan Jiechengtan is very reasonable.

To use Yan Jiecheng's words in the report, the problem of obsolete equipment is already the main problem restricting the development of my country's railway transportation, and it is time for reconstruction and upgrading.

In the days that followed, Yan Jiecheng held repeated meetings and discussions with the department.

Of course, Yan Jiecheng was also recruited by the superiors to conduct relevant inquiries.

To be honest, there is nothing to discuss about this kind of thing. After all, Yan Jiecheng has already solicited opinions and discussed it at the ministry committee.

From a technical level and from the level of the project itself, it is completely feasible.

The remaining things that need to be argued and discussed are considered from the national level such as people's livelihood, economy, etc. Yan Jiecheng cannot decide these matters.

The ministry is very supportive of the transformation plan proposed by Yan Jiecheng and others.

Everyone knows that railway development is now stuck in a bottleneck, at least in terms of funding.

Therefore, equipment modifications can only be carried out based on existing lines to increase transport capacity.

According to the estimation of Yan Jiecheng and their technical committee.If all these transformations are completed, the current railway transportation capacity can be increased by about 2.5 times.

Do you want to say that the plan proposed by Yan Jiecheng and others will make the leaders excited?

It's definitely exciting. It saves money and is more efficient than building a new railway.

Therefore, the report submitted by Yan Jiechengtan was approved in less than a month.

The "Railway Upgrading and Transformation Plan for 1980-1990" was officially written into the relevant documents of the ministry, and it officially became the focus of the ministry's work in the past ten years.

When the leader was having lunch at lunch, he met Yan Jiecheng in Xiaozao and said with a smile: "General Manager Yan, this new official has taken office with three fires, and it is burning very brightly."

To be honest, the leader did not expect that Yan Jiecheng would start work from these three directions as soon as he took office.

He was a little surprised, but when he thought about Yan Jiecheng's previous work experience in the Motor Vehicle Administration Bureau and the Education Department, and had also reorganized the Beijing Bureau, he understood.

In the minds of leaders, Yan Jiecheng organized a technical committee to revise the high-speed railway design specifications, which is of great significance.

This not only fills the technical gap, but also establishes Yan Jiecheng's technical authority in high-speed railways.

Yan Jiecheng gave full credit to his achievements.After all, when anyone sees the high-speed railway design specifications, they will think of Yan Jiecheng and the Beijing-Tianjin Passenger Dedicated Line.

Yan Jiecheng investigated all locomotive research institutions and began to adjust these institutions, which consolidated his position in the field of locomotive research.

The railway reconstruction and upgrading plan is a direct demonstration of Yan Jie's ability.

It pointedly pointed out the biggest problem currently existing in the railway system.And proposed solutions in a planned and targeted manner.

This is Yan Jiecheng's declaration to the entire industry, the entire department, and all leaders, telling everyone that Yan Jiecheng has comprehensive skills and unique technical vision.

Thinking of this, the leader couldn't help but sigh, this young man is really powerful.

When Yan Jiecheng heard what the leader said, he smiled and said, "The leader is joking. There are no three fires. They are all needed for work."

If Yan Jiecheng knew what the leader was thinking, he would probably jump up if he was wronged. How could he think about such complicated things?

He really didn't expect such things as personal authority and personal interests.

Now that he is less than 40 years old and already in a high position, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Therefore, his actions are really purely for the Huaxia Railway.

The two of them were chatting while eating.Yan Jiecheng asked curiously: "Boss, what did you mean last time when you told me to go home and wait for good things to happen?"

After saying this, almost two months have passed. The 80 years are almost over, and Yan Jiecheng has not yet waited for this so-called good thing.

Knowing that the leader would definitely not have nothing to do and just tease him, everyone was a little puzzled and then asked.

When he heard Yan Jiecheng's words, the leader was eating and choked.

"Ahem, cough, cough...just wait a little longer, wait a little longer."

Then, the leader took a sip of water.Then he said: "Hey, I'm old and can't eat much. Mr. Yan, you young people should eat more. I'll go and rest for a while."

After saying that, he quickly stood up and left. Yan Jiecheng looked at the leader's leaving figure and felt that he had escaped.
