Chapter 219 Comrade Liu Hai is a farmer (5000nd update [-])

After digging an acre of land, the experts looked relaxed because there were a lot of potatoes.

"Boss, it's 2358 catties in total." The person in charge of the experimental field here couldn't believe his eyes. He thought the potatoes were not good this year, but he didn't expect them to be okay.

"Go and have a look inside the village." There are still many test fields, but it's not necessary. You can tell whether the chosen land is good or bad by looking at the potato seedlings.

In the village, the township chief and the village chief were all waiting. Everyone looked a little worried. The harvest on the Loess Plateau this year was dismal, except in some river valleys.

There are not many plants in the village, which are divided into three places: the river valley, the mountainside, and the top of the mountain.

When we got to the top of the mountain, the potato seedlings were about the size of a palm, and they looked like wasteland.

"Report to the leader, a total of 941 kilograms." Unexpectedly, even though the potato seedlings are not big, there are at least two potatoes under one.

Potato seeds are made by cutting whole potatoes into several pieces, each with two buds and eyes, and then wrapped in plant ash for planting.

The yield per mu in the northwest is already low. In most places, the yield per mu is only [-] kilograms. Except for some places with water sources, the test place is Huining, which can be said to be the place with the most difficult conditions.

Then another acre of land on the mountainside was dug, weighing more than 200 kilograms.

There are actually more than 300 kilograms in the river valley area, which is similar to the yield of the medium-sized land in the experimental field.

Then I went back to the experimental field to select the best ones and test the worst ones.

Of course, it’s not just this one place, there are several pilot areas.

In the end, it was brought to the Ministry of Agriculture. The Ministry of Agriculture has no good news this year. At this time, the water conservancy facilities are weak, so don’t think too much about lifting irrigation stations. Many reservoirs have not yet been built. The construction of reservoirs is basically carried out on the shoulders of one generation.

This is relatively good news. The Ministry of Agriculture is preparing to plant spring potatoes on a large scale in the south. When they are harvested next spring, they will be sent to the northwest to be used as seeds. Regardless of whether they are handed over or not, they have to eat first. In addition, data from other places They have also summarized that the yield of potatoes in the north is good, and in some areas with good rainfall, the yield can reach [-] kilograms.

The situation was reported to the superiors. After all, such a big plan requires a meeting to discuss.

"Hey, why did this little comrade Liu Hai appear again?" The superior leader first looked at the reported data, the data from various places, and finally saw the process of discovering Tudou, and then saw Liu Hai's name.

Of course, the secretary understood what was going on, and explained in a low voice that Comrade Liu Hai used the idle land in the factory to plant the plants. He found that part of the plant was growing particularly well, so he asked someone to take a look at it.

"My little comrade is still a farmer at heart. Others would never think of growing crops in open space." After listening, the superior leader said.

"That's the truth." The secretary nodded. Who among the factory workers would clear up wasteland and plant crops in the factory? Whose crops will be counted?
Liu Hai spent more than 20 days to build a well-drilling equipment, but the drill bit was a little more troublesome. The rest were all ready-made parts. The chassis was made of a different type, which was just a flat plate. The well-drilling equipment was a hydraulic motor. It's the kind on an excavator. It is erected when drilling a well and placed on the platform of the truck when not drilling. The drill pipe for drilling the well is made by the steel rolling mill, one is six meters long, and the other is the well pipe.

But in the area around Kyoto, it is estimated that there will be water no matter how deep the bangs are, and it is another matter in mountainous areas.

There are two types of drill bits, one for breaking stones, and one like a rotary excavator.

Basically, 20 meters is enough in Zhongyuan. At this time, the groundwater has not been over-exploited, so it should not be that much. You can also use cement pipes as the well walls.

Sun Aiguo hasn't come to see Liu Hai recently. One reason is because he is busy, and the other one also knows that Liu Hai will not get results so quickly.

"This is?" Looking at the equipment in front of him, Sun Aiguo felt that he had little knowledge.

"This is well-drilling equipment. Last time I went back to the village, I found that this year's food was not good and there was not enough rain. I'm going to go back to the village to test this." Liu Hai said.

"Well drilling equipment?" Sun Aiguo was a little confused. Can his own factory produce this?
"It just so happens that our factory is going to dig a well. Let's give it a try?" Sun Aiguo asked.

"Okay." Liu Hai nodded. As for why the factory dug its own well, Liu Hai didn't ask.

Liu Hai drove the well-drilling car to the place where the well was being dug. A factory building was being built here, and many workers looked at this strange thing.

Liu Hai asked people to weave a cage out of bamboo and cover it with a layer of oil paper. This was done by digging a well, lowering the cage, and pouring concrete between the cage and the well wall. This was a simple method.

Liu Hai stopped the car and put stones under the tires to prevent the car from sliding.

Let the workers prepare other things, start erecting the machine themselves, and then select the rotary excavator drill bit.

The diesel engine roared, Liu Hai operated the hydraulic control equipment, and the rotary excavator descended rapidly. Several workers nearby cleaned up. Rotary excavation requires shaking out the soil. Liu Hai directly operated the hydraulic equipment and shook it aside for the workers to clean up.

"There is water." After 10 minutes, when the rotary excavator was lifted up again, mud could be seen.

Bangs looked at it, it was less than ten meters?

We continued digging, but there was really nothing we could do about the last 18 meters, because there was no soil left when the rotary excavator came up, and there was too much water below.

The workers are still weaving the bamboo cages.

Sun Aiguo looked at the time and was very surprised. You must know that digging a well is not that easy. He didn't expect that it would take less than half an hour.

"Good stuff."

"This can also lay the foundation for the building." Liu Hai said casually.

The workers weaved the cage and covered it with tarpaulin. After the cage was put down, the water was pumped out.

It's not about draining, but about pumping out the mud. Otherwise, if the concrete is not good, the well wall may collapse if it is drained. This is also a technical job.

After the water is clear, pour in some dry-mixed concrete until it is almost ready, and then it is ready.

Just wait until the concrete is parallel to the ground, or even higher.

"Just be careful not to let anyone fall in."

"You can also make concrete pipes of the right size first." Liu Hai was bored waiting. It took half an hour to dig the well and an hour to pour the cement.

"Tsk, tsk, this is good, this is good." Sun Aiguo heard what Liu Hai said and felt that he would dig a well in half an hour.

Sun Aiguo asked again: "What is that?"

"This is a drill bit for hitting rocks." Liu Hai saw Sun Aiguo pointing at the steel pipe and asked, so he replied.

"You also need to report this. This will make a great contribution to agriculture."

"Okay, director, have you seen it now?"

"..."

Sun Aiguo rushed to report. After receiving the report, the leaders of the First Machinery Department in Kyoto came out to take a look. This time they came to the east of Liangma River and randomly found a local village.

Of course, the motorcycle factory brought its own cement, river sand, stones, and a few workers.

First wait for the workers to weave the bamboo cages, and then finish drilling the well in 30 minutes. The rotary excavator is still used. The depth of the well is 20 meters. First, the muddy water is pumped. Of course, if it is a finished concrete pipe, this is not a big problem.

"Awesome, tsk tsk, Xiao Liu." The leader of the First Machinery Department in Kyoto looked at this well-drilling equipment. In just a short time, it had drilled 20 meters deep.

At this time, the groundwater has not been over-exploited, so it is relatively easy to dig a well, but of course it is difficult to dig 20 meters manually.

"Uh-huh."

“Should we let people from the Agriculture Bureau come and take a look at this?”

"Should we also have a water pump?"

"It's best to use the concrete pipes that Xiao Liu said. It's convenient and quick."

"It's best to build a small house after digging a well. This is still a bit dangerous."

So under the advice of the leaders, Liu Hai waited for a week before he had the opportunity to go back to the village to dig a well. Moreover, he did not have a car of his own, but there were people from the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Machinery, and Pingchang District.

There are eight trucks in all four types, and they all pull concrete pipes. Nowadays, there are concrete pipes with different specifications. The bangs are [-] centimeters in diameter and were made first.

The group of people arrived in the countryside in a mighty manner. Mayor Hou and others joined them together, and then went to the village.

This experiment will first test the plain areas, and then also test the rocky areas in the mountainous areas.The captain was very happy when he heard that he was going to dig a well. Looking at the equipment, he knew that this man must be doing it for free.

Now that the grain has been harvested, Liu Hai, the well-drilling equipment, went directly to the field and started drilling the well. There were a sea of ​​people watching the excitement, and the villagers were also curious.

Water was found within 10 minutes. I dug for another 10 minutes. Then I removed the machine and started to lower cement pipes. Sections of cement pipes sank. 21 cement pipes per meter sank, and 22 cement pipes were left. cut.

Then the pump comes up, these don’t require bangs, the bangs are just on the side.

The water pump pumped for half an hour, but the amount of water was still very large. The leaders were very satisfied and asked the villagers to keep an eye on this place so that others would not fall into it.

Then I started taking the second and third bites, and everything went very smoothly.

Finally, we came to a place close to Mangshan Mountain. This was also the last place where the tractor could climb up. Fortunately, the trucks used to cut trees and other things in the mountain could come here.

Just choose a rocky place and start working directly.

The sound was harsh. The hydraulic motor drove the drill bit, causing white stone powder to fly.

The leaders watched from the side. When they reached 50 meters, there was mud. After another dozen meters, the water spurted out. This meant that the underground water layer was hit.

"Ouch." People in the village exclaimed as they looked at the water they sprayed out. This was halfway up a hillside.

Of course, the leaders knew the structure of groundwater, so they were not surprised. What was surprising was that this equipment could reach a depth of nearly 70 meters, which was extraordinary.

The captain watched with eyes, wondering how to make good use of the water. Turn the surrounding dry land into irrigated land, dig a large pond underneath, and turn the surrounding area into rice fields.

Before Liu Hai's work was over, he drilled more than [-] wells in the surrounding villages in two days, basically using rotary excavators.

What leaders want to look at is efficiency, that is, how many wells can be drilled in a day, so that they can make follow-up arrangements easily.

It is time to dig a well in winter to prepare for next spring plowing. With the integrated design of bangs, the leaders can be separated and a rotary excavator can be used in plain areas.

Of course, there will be no bangs in the follow-up. The superiors need to count how many wells need to be drilled and how much equipment is needed, and then estimate the cost of each well, whether it is a motor or a diesel engine water pump, etc.

In the era of planned economy, superiors were required to coordinate. This time, the superiors knew about the matter again. A few days ago, they were still saying that Liu Hai was a farmer, but now it was even more confirmed.

Why didn’t other researchers study well drilling equipment?
"Comrade Xiao Liu, I heard that their factory was going to build cars, but I didn't expect to build well-drilling equipment. This is good. It's better than cars. One piece of equipment can dig more than a dozen wells a day. This is a drought." , It can save lives." The superior leaders knew that the motorcycle factory was going to build cars, but they didn't expect to turn around and build a well-drilling equipment.

The secretary nodded on the side. It is indeed the case. This kind of integrated well-drilling equipment, as long as the preliminary work is done well, the well-drilling speed is very fast, and if there are enough manpower, people can stop the machine without stopping. Sometimes the crops will be There are only a few days left, just get over them.

"I need to praise you this time." The superior leader said.

"Boss, why don't we wait until the motorcycle factory starts mass production of trucks?" the secretary said. The main reason is that senior leaders need to plan in advance when traveling.

"Okay." The superior leader nodded.

In a game of chess across the country, resources began to be tilted toward well-drilling equipment. The motorcycle factory gave priority to manufacturing well-drilling equipment. Other factories capable of producing it also started production. It was important to come up with as much well-drilling equipment as possible before next spring plowing.

The artesian well that Liu Hai dug on the hillside of his hometown attracted many people to see it, so the team leader arranged for people to dig canals and so on.

"Ugh!"

"Alas!" Sun Aiguo sighed in front of Liu Hai.

Liu Hai is also helpless. The factory does not have enough manpower. The main reason is that the factory has expanded too fast. In two and a half years, the factory has grown from a factory with a few hundred people to more than 3000 people. This is not enough. If the workshop arranges It’s full, at least 2 people.

There are not many factories with more than 1 people in the country right now.

"Is there no one else elsewhere?" Liu Hai asked.

"There is a shortage of people everywhere. When excavators enter mining companies, upstream production efficiency increases, and metallurgical companies need to increase workshops and manpower."

"Steel production has increased, and downstream factories have also increased. Not to mention anything else, do you know how many people there are in the motorcycle parts factory in Guangzhou? More than 4000 people, this is not enough for Boss Huo to sell."

"There are also several walking tractor factories across the country. The walking tractor factory in the city on the edge of the Yellow River has more than 4000 people. The walking tractor factory in Shudu has more than 5000 people..."

"How many people are there in this large area around us and all the supporting factories combined?"

"The thousands of processing equipment coming out of our factory will add at least a dozen more factories."

Liu Hai thought for a while and asked: "How about setting up a technical school and just teaching skills. For example, for fitters, just teach fitter skills, and for lathes, just learn lathes. You should be able to learn it in three months. After entering the factory, you will be a little smart." Continue to train, and if you are not very smart, just be an ordinary worker."

"The rural labor force is not good either. It has been less than ten years since the end of the war. How old are the first batch of children?"

"In addition, in the first few years, everything was lacking, and many rural areas did not have enough to eat. Where would children be born?" Sun Aiguo shook his head and said.

Liu Hai thought about it for a while and said, "How about I get a harvester? In the plains, a harvester can harvest about one hundred acres a day?" Liu Hai asked.

"No, there's no one left." Sun Aiguo shook his head and said he was still running the production line, forget it.

Liu Hai nodded. Now agriculture is the foundation. Solving the problem of food first, industry can be put aside first.

"Then I will modify some equipment and use 25-horsepower machines to make some plowing machines. This can save a lot of manpower."

"This is okay, cars can still be used." Sun Aiguo still did not forget cars.

Liu Hai nodded. The spread of new technologies can certainly bring about industrial development, but it also faces the problem of manpower shortage. Agriculture is now the foundation. Of course, in a few years, when the first batch of children grow up after the war, they will face With the population booming, there is more than one family like Liu Hai's master Yang Hehua, who has several children.

There are not enough jobs in the city, so these children have to go to the countryside to find food. Even if there is still going to the countryside this time, it may not be too much. If the development continues, there may not be any going to the countryside.

Just how many jobs can be created if the current industrial products are rolled out...

"Let's satisfy Boss Huo first." Now Sun Aiguo can only satisfy Boss Huo first.

In fact, Liu Hai only recently learned that there is no harm without comparison. On the one hand, it is to help all kinds of iron, and on the other hand, it is the real export data from Boss Huo. There was no export before, and it feels like giving something.

Now that there is a comparison, everyone can see how much this batch of things is worth, and how much the next batch of things is worth. Once or twice is enough. When the number of times increases, naturally some people will object and even eat it at home. If you are not full, look at how much money you have spent in the past six months...

Of course, Liu Hai is also an afterthought to the microsecond changes at the upper level. Liu Hai himself is not interested in politics. Isn't it good to engage in mathematics, physics and chemistry?
"Yeah." Liu Hai could only agree.

“Can the prototype car come out this year?”

"Yes, but it's just the same car." Liu Hai nodded.

"As long as the prototype car comes out, whatever it looks like, the one made by FAW will be good." FAW launched a small car this year. Sun Aiguo saw it in the department and felt very good.

Liu Hai took out the renderings of the domineering car and showed it to Sun Aiguo.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about the Phantom. It feels like it’s not worthy of a 12-cylinder. This bangs is going to be equipped with a six-cylinder, 3L.

Sun Aiguo looked at the drawing and swallowed his saliva. This streamlined shape gave people a very high-end feeling, and asked, "Can this be built?"

Most of the cars at this time had square heads and square heads. In fact, even the Poussins in the 80s were the same.

"The machine is definitely not good, handwork is no problem." That's right, the bangs are going to be made by hand, otherwise the current stamping and casting equipment cannot produce this shape.

The bangs were originally planned to take the high-end route, and this thing was taken out.Do the gentlemen on Big Brother like it?

I like it, want to buy it?Then just wait?

"Handmade is handmade." Sun Aiguo feels that even if it is handmade, as long as it can be made, it is worth it. If the output is low, the output will be low.

"Okay, I want to find a refrigerator compressor so I can design an air conditioner for the car."

"Sure, I'll give it to you tomorrow." Sun Aiguo's mind was full of images of domineering cars, majesty, and superiority.

Liu Hai's next step is to enter the compressor market. Let's take our time. We will start with compressors for refrigerators and car air conditioners. When our oil comes out, we will start a large-scale chemical industry.
