Chapter 2 Five-Year Plan II
Ma Qianzhu struck while the iron was hot: "Since everyone agrees with this plan, I suggest that our overall construction plan start with the second phase of the Bairentan Hydropower Station. Read the full text. This overall plan is named the first five-year plan."
In the first five-year plan system envisioned by Ma Qianju, the Wenlan River system project had three major functions: shipping, irrigation, and power generation. The industrial and agricultural system was laid out with the river as the center, which was completely consistent with their original vision. , but this plan more specifically proposes how to utilize the Wenlan River.
The future industrial bases will all be arranged in the lower reaches of Hedong. If there is future expansion, they will extend to the Mayao Peninsula. To make use of the Ma Niao Port and Hongpai Port series of ports around Ma Niao. In the 20th century, several large-scale industrial investment projects and development zones in Lingao County were also located in this area.
Chuanchuan Group has planned two major industrial zones: the steel and chemical industrial zone centered on Bopu Port. Give full play to the advantages of large shipping volume and low price. The fleet transported anthracite coal from Vietnam, pig iron, wrought iron and bituminous coal from Guangdong, iron ore from Tiandu, timber from Fujian, and salt for chemical industry from the Masao Peninsula.
The machinery industry-light industry zone centered on Bairencheng is also arranged in Hedong.
In this way, travelers only had two industrial areas in the early days. Industrial areas are few and concentrated, so the areas they need to protect by force are smaller, and the lines for transporting electricity, coal, equipment and finished products are shorter, so transportation and energy consumption costs can be minimized.
The steel and chemical products manufactured by Bobu, as well as various raw materials transported from the sea, can be directly transported to Bairen Industrial Zone for processing and manufacturing through the water transportation channel of the Wenlan River. The finished products can also be transported to Bobu for export by waterway. .
The current power supply is mainly based on the Bairen Hydropower Station. It is planned that after being able to produce its own boilers and power generation equipment in the future, Chuanchuan Group will set up a thermal power plant in Bopu, using sea-borne Hongji anthracite to generate electricity and directly supply it to the high-energy-consuming chemical industry. powered by.
The Industry and Energy Committee's plan accomplishes the following objectives within the first five-year plan:
Complete the construction of a complete steel enterprise, including: ore dressing plant, ore sintering furnace, coke oven, blast furnace, hot blast furnace, iron melting furnace. In addition to the existing small converter, install another converter.
The mineral processing plant has 2 mineral concentrators, 5 crushers, and 2 crushers brought from another time and space.
A small special steel factory that uses the crucible method to manufacture various special steels.
A steel rolling mill with:
There are 2 preliminary forging machines, 2 hot rolling mills, 2 hot punching machines, 2 cold rolling steel mills, 2 cold drawn steel pipe machines, 2 cold drawn bar machines, and 2 cold rolled steel pipe machines. It can conveniently cold-roll and hot-roll various commonly used specifications of steel plates, strips, wire rods and various types of steel.
By the end of 1634, this steel complex had reached the level of producing 80 tons of iron per day, 50 tons of crude steel, and 100 tons of special steel per year.
Smelting non-ferrous metals: 160 tons of blister copper, producing 120 tons of electrolytic copper, 3 tons of nickel ingots, 10 tons of cobalt, 140 tons of lead, 80 tons of zinc, 12 tons of tin, and 20 tons of antimony.
These non-ferrous metals are mainly imported as ores or crude products and further refined in the metallurgical sector.
Although non-ferrous metals are not in great demand except for copper and lead, they are indispensable in many key places. Fortunately, these products were already produced on a considerable scale in the Ming Dynasty, and there was no problem in importing a certain amount of crude products from the mainland.
The metallurgical industry seems to be a huge system, but its five-year plan is actually the least difficult. The existing industrial system of the traversers can already provide necessary materials such as cement, bricks, and refractory materials without any difficulty. The most technologically advanced steel rolling mills all use equipment brought from another time and space, which can be put into use as long as it is installed in place. As for the blast furnace, there are no big technical problems for Chuangchuangzhong.
"In addition to refractory materials, mineral processing and blast furnace charging require some special equipment. I hope the machinery department can provide it. I will also need your strong support when the time comes." Ji Wusheng said.
"No problem," Zhan Wuya agreed. "The key is that the steel can be used. I have seen these equipments and they are not difficult. Some of them can also be made of wood."
The goal of the Ministry of Machinery Industry is to complete the self-upgrading system of the machinery industry within the first five-year plan, which can not only meet the production and manufacturing of various special equipment across the industrial system, but also complete self-renewal and upgrading.
But the problems facing the construction of the Ministry of Machinery Industry are much more complicated. Due to the tonnage of the ship, the mechanical equipment brought by the Crossing Group was quite limited. Many special equipment was not brought due to the tonnage and space. The equipment owned by the mechanical group such as Zhan Wuya were the most basic general-purpose machine tools, mainly lathes. The largest one.
Theoretically, these most basic lathes, punches, vises, planers and other so-called "industrial mother machines" or general machine tools can produce any product, but the reality is far from that simple.
Since mankind entered the era of industrialization, a clear development path for machine tools has been: higher efficiency and lower production costs. For general machine tools represented by lathes, the growth in processing efficiency is very low. Unless workers and equipment are increased indefinitely, the output cannot increase.
The simplest ones are screws commonly used in industrial equipment. This small thing is called "standard part" in industry. The so-called standard parts refer to commonly used parts, such as threaded parts, pins, washers, etc., that have been completely standardized in terms of structure, size, drawing, marking and other aspects and are produced by professional factories. These parts are used in connection and fastening of various industrial equipment.
Historically, this type of standard parts were initially processed with ordinary lathes, but the processing efficiency was very low. Workers had to cut multiple times during processing and had to carefully set the tool each time; the manufacturing cost was also uneconomical - ―Clamp a round bar on top and finally cut out a small bolt. This is a huge waste of material, and the processing requires high workers.
Therefore, in actual production operations, standard parts are manufactured with special machine tools. Even the simplest and most common hardware such as nails is produced with special machine tools in modern times.
The first task of Zhan Wuya's Machinery Industry Department is not to manufacture equipment for various industrial sectors, but to complete equipment matching within its own system and manufacture a batch of special machine tools. Build a new mold factory, a foundry, a standard parts factory, a bearing chain factory and a tool factory.
"You don't know how much this system will promote industry once it is established. The machinery industry can manufacture different special machine tools and combined automatic machine tools according to various product needs." Wang Luobin said excitedly, "Do you know what big industry is? With this system, we will have a truly big industry."
"For example," Li Yilao, who has made black guns, explained: "Everyone is now worried about the supply of bullets. In fact, it is not difficult to make bullets. I can make them in the machinery factory using existing equipment. , but if you make it this way, you won’t be able to make dozens of rounds in a day. The trigger will be gone as soon as you grab it. If we make a bullet production line, although it requires more than 30 pieces of equipment, it can make thousands of rounds of bullets an hour. , this productivity is terrifyingly high.”
"Can I make k98?" Wei Aiwen asked.
"K98 is nothing." Xiao Bailang looked disdainful, "Ak47 is nothing to mention."
"I want k98, or p44." Wei Aiwen is indeed a loyal Hader.
"After completing the self-supporting of the machinery industry sector, we will experimentally carry out the reproduction of general machine tools, or self-replication." Zhan Wuya said, "After all, there will not be only one machinery factory in the future, and the demand for general equipment will It’s huge.”
Jiang Ye said: "The machine tools we have now are not as many as one workshop of the factory where I used to work."
Ma Qianzhu agreed: "We are currently operating on Hainan Island. We will occupy Taiwan Island in the future or land on the mainland. We need to replenish firearms and ammunition and develop local industry. All equipment cannot be manufactured in Lingao. Let’s transport it there. We still need to set up a few more machining centers.”
"I don't think so." Wen Desi said, "To ensure the stability of our Chuan regime for generations to come, the core system of the machinery industry must not spread and must be firmly in the hands of the Chuan Group."
He further explained: "Suppose: If a local rich man wants to open a textile factory, we can provide the most advanced textile machinery and power equipment in this time and space at a discount, and also provide maintenance services. However, in addition to using these equipment, He can neither repair nor duplicate the equipment. Everything depends on us."
In his vision, in the future world, only the Time Travel Group has the ability to manufacture mechanical equipment. Rich people or countries in this time and space can purchase weapons, equipment, ships and vehicles manufactured by the Time Travel Group, but once these things are lost Without the maintenance guarantee provided by Chuan Chuan Group, it would become completely useless. In this way, the industrial lifeline of the entire world is completely in the hands of the Cross-Travel Group.
"Isn't this the Mechanicus in Warhammer 40k?" Xi Yazhou's associations were rich.
"Can't science be used as a religion?" Wen Desi asked rhetorically, "We have mastered science and industry beyond the level of this time and space, so it is not too much to ask to rule the earth."
"Then there must be the Scientific Gray Knights."
"You idiot, you might as well set up the Sisters of Science. Sisters are great."
"Who will be the emperor?"
"We'll talk about this later," Ma Qianzhu quickly brought the topic back, "The Ministry of Machinery Industry should talk about how much specialized equipment it can provide to each department."
