Chapter 1020 The Five-Year Plan and the Internal Combustion Engine
In the government work report in Liu Shu, there are the most detailed data about 1913, one by one, one by one, one by one project, from steel, railway, electricity, and coal. Only the 20,000 representatives attending the meeting truly understood how powerful the Northwest they rely on was, especially when the Northwest obtained data about European and American powers through multi-party surveys, intuition, we know that it is now strong.
It turns out that the former great powers, Ziya, the powerful industry in the northwest, have been far surpassed, and the satisfaction that emerges from the deepest participants excited any delegate. Of course, the strength of the country is not only a comparison of data, but also a fierce war is needed to resolve the situation where the contradictions are irreconcilable. However, with China's current position, once the domestic unification is completed, China will have enough confidence to fight against any foreign enemy.
Amid the warm applause, the 1913 government work report ended. Next, when hundreds of collective votes were completed one by one, the Northwest once again launched a new 15th plan.
He was still immersed in the achievements of 1913 and hundreds of different votes, and now he has launched the First Five Plan. If the 1913 government work report is a review of the past, then the five-year plan is to look forward to the future and let them see how strong the Northwest and China will be if they develop according to the five-year plan.
After careful calculations and relying on thousands of large-scale projects, it has a huge promoting effect on the entire industry. The most obvious thing is to be reflected in the data, according to the estimates and calculations of the Northwest. Once five years later, that is, in 1918, the first five-year plan is completely completed, the manufacturing level in the Northwest will increase by 6 times, the industrial output value will increase by 3 times, and the GDP will also increase in the same period. By then, it will basically reach about 30 times of the United States, and reach a relatively high level in terms of per capita GDP.
Just like China in later generations, many things in China can be counted as total, but not per capita. Even in 1911, the total industrial value was the world's largest, but the per capita was only one-some of that of the United States. The reason was that the total population in the northwest was more than several times that of the United States. That is, after two large-scale developments in 1912 and 1913, the per capita rose, with the United States' industrial share of about 10 times. The per capita was only twice the population. The reason was the population.
China has a huge population, far exceeding other countries in the world. Even Russia, which is a European road roller, has a population of more than 100 million. It is already the largest in the entire Europe, but China has more than 400 million people. There are more than 300 million people in the Northwest control area. To a certain extent, the population is an important advantage of China. As long as there is enough food to support so many people, the Northwest will not deliberately control the population, and will even promote radical population measures to a certain extent. As long as a certain degree of peace is maintained, the population of the Northwest will definitely grow rapidly, and may enter 1 billion or even more thresholds faster than in previous lives.
There is no problem of pressure and development. While the Northwest has laid an advantage, it will only preserve this advantage and allow the dividend to continue to develop. The huge population will put a huge test on the national strategy. Yang Yuanzhao will also build enough living space for these populations so that the land obtained can exist for a long time.
In the five-year plan, there are exciting projects on water conservancy, such as the comprehensive management project of the Yangtze River main line, which builds large-scale water conservancy projects in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, focusing on flood control and waterways, raising the water volume of the Yangtze River in the upper reaches, and striving to make 5,000 tons or even higher tonnage ships can directly pass on the Yangtze River waterway to the west of Wuhan, exerting the comprehensive efficiency of the Yangtze River, and connecting Hubei and Sichuan.
Large-scale projects to manage the Yangtze River, some Yellow River governance and comprehensive governance projects in the north are also suddenly listed. These are feedbacks from the northwest after changing the environment. Once completed, the northwest's horizon will become more orchid, the water will become clearer, and the environment will be better.
In addition to these environmentally-renovated projects, a large number of basic projects are also listed, including container system projects that link highways, railways, and ships along the 10 major ports on the Yellow Sea coast, small town construction and various regional central cities.
Next, there are more than 700 large-scale projects, led by steel, machine manufacturing, and electrical manufacturing. These projects are evenly distributed in various fields of heavy industry and light industry. Once completed, the Northwest will complete the first industrial restructuring, transforming from a population-oriented enterprise to a capital- and technological advantageous enterprise. The technological content will further increase, and economic efficiency will also be improved significantly on the original basis.
At that time, the Northwest will officially distance itself from other world powers. The advancement in science and technology, higher, faster and stronger development will further increase the threshold for entry and competition. Even in the future, with the improvement of the economy and the further welfare measures of Baotou, production costs will no longer support some industries with lower added value, and these industries must be transferred out. The current direction is the territory controlled by the Beiyang and the revolutionary party. After the unification in the future, it may be the Nanyang, or even other parts of the world.
Now it is just the First Five-Year Plan, and it is still early to talk about this. The representatives are full of longing. The Northwest is already so powerful, but he has not been lying on the credit score. He is still working hard to develop. The Northwest will be even stronger in the future.
Exciting projects were issued and voted one by one, and were passed by the representatives excitedly. Under the joint attention of 20,000 people, after 12 major and thousands of minor items, the pass rate of the first five-year plan was as high as 97%, with only a small amount of 3%. It was unable to be passed due to many reasons. The five-year plan was finally settled and became a legal document in the northwest. After the plenary meeting, it will be distributed to every area involved. With the completion of funds, construction will be started at any time.
On March 27, 1914, on the 24th day of the plenary meeting, the issue on the 15th Plan was passed unanimously with a considerable advantage. The officials of governments at all levels in the northwest and the representatives of the management committee were well aware of what they should do in the next five years. Next, they completed it one by one according to the Northwest policies. When they thought of such a great systematic project, they would participate, and their excitement and pride would arise naturally.
Of course, they also strictly follow the discipline of the Northwest, and the government work report and the First Five-Year Plan, they cannot let others know at all, and even if it is a slight possibility, they cannot take risks.
At this point, most of the topics have been completed. The rest is the most scattered part of the vote, which has not much impact on the overall situation. Even the core leaders no longer participate in the group discussion. The leaders at the bottom may not have too many problems after leaving a month. However, Yang Yuanzhao, Liu Shu and others at the upper level need to deal with part of the work every day even when the most lively and tense time of the whole meeting, otherwise it will affect the stability of the northwest operation.
After six years of development, starting from Baotou, the northwest has formed a huge organization, with a population of more than 300 million, numerous cities, industries and enterprises, tax revenue and government revenue hit new highs, and there are many things every day. Even after analysis and summary, they need to deal with a considerable number.
Yang Yuanzhao's office seized the time in the morning and finished dealing with it. Today's things, Yang Yuanzhao was preparing to go to the research institute. The research on internal combustion engines has entered a critical stage. After the reduced internal combustion engine and power system have gradually been improved, it is only one step away from getting on the train. Although internal combustion locomotives cannot make the speed of the train greatly improve on the original basis, they are higher than steam locomotives in terms of emissions and easy handling performance, and their use range is also expanding.
China's railway network is already huge enough, and they are all high-standard railways. If you replace them with internal combustion locomotives, you don't need to change the line. The floor area ratio, density, and even the speed of unit ranges are also increasing. This means that the railway's transportation capacity has been increased.
Internal combustion engines are the development direction of trains. This was written by Yang Yuanzhao after entering the railway era from the northwest. However, the power engineers of later generations did not participate in the manufacturing of internal combustion engines. Later generations have popularized electric locomotives and EMUs. They are like crossing the roads, and they can only propose directions.
Sometimes, one direction is enough. The analogy in power and its own attainments have made the internal combustion engine research institute led by Yang Yuanzhao develop rapidly in all aspects. It has been conducted for more than two years of research. Among them, 21 prototype cars were successfully produced in 7 batches, with a total investment of up to 210 million yuan in the internal combustion engine project, which has reached its end. The key internal combustion engine has been completed more than half a year ago. Now the finale is the telex system and the power push system, and the determination of the bottom of the vehicle. How to create a stable, high-speed bottom has become the most important thing at present.
Before entering the laboratory, Mi Changqing, the head of the Internal Combustion Engine Research Institute, also an expert in Northwest Power, hurried out. Yang Yuanzhao greeted him casually, but found that he had a solemn expression and looked worried. (To be continued...)
