Chapter 370 Engine
Habi was busy with this year's plan, everything in Baotou was stable. From mid-May to early June, cotton had already ended. From the hot July to August, Yang Yue and his agriculturalists were spread all over China. Even if they were responsible for a province independently, they also visited most cities in the province. With the help of a large number of assistants and students, they successfully completed their tasks and returned to Baotou one after another.
From March to September, it was equivalent to half a year of busyness outside, and finally came back to take a break. In September, the wind was calm, and this was the most stable month in Baotou and even the whole of China. Things collected from all over the country were finally gathered in Yang Yue's hands. It can be said that this national planting work was very successful. 1 billion mu of land planted cotton was a huge project. In the end, 97% was completed, not 100%, but it was beyond everyone's expectations. Because the land signed was too large, especially in the large area of the northwest, there was basically no tradition of planting. Even if large-scale mechanized farming was carried out since March, most people were unsure.
The successful operation of various agricultural machinery such as tractors, especially the reorganized Baoken Company, changed from the original company model to the production corps model, and introduced militarized management and strict system. In 1910, these burst out with brilliant power and strict management, avoiding scattered and large-scale mechanized operations as much as possible, and scientifically coordinated the operation to the reclaimed wasteland. A production and construction corps based on the unit had a total of 70,000 people and 4 corpses, jointly responsible. A part of Gansu, Qinghai, Xinjiang and Mongolia successfully reclaimed farmland that occupied one-fifth of the total area. These are lands known for their huge area, and the number of new farmlands is amazing.
It is this achievement that laid the foundation for national success. Compared with other cooperation, these are the land directly controlled by Baotou and the things produced are crucial to Baotou's future cotton safety.
The major actions spread across the country inevitably affected the development of agricultural science and technology, especially the cultivation plan for good seeds. This time, the new Baotou cotton seeds are not much different from those before, but have been seeds that have undergone several improvements and adaptations. For most parts of China, they are well adaptable and have very little possibility of problems.
After seedling cultivation and seedling growth, now, most of the cotton fields in China are in the growth stage. Fertilizer and scientific management have made these cotton grow gratifyingly. Especially recently, the price of cotton has risen to 50% internationally. China has also risen by 40%, which makes the landlords who follow the trend of planting cotton extremely happy. Although according to the contract, they cannot rise to the sales price. A few cents are more than a pound, and a few dollars are more than acre of land. This is definitely not a small amount. Most of the landlords who join the plan are in units of tens of thousands of acres and tens of thousands of yuan. For any company, it is a considerable income.
At this time, Baotou's development was in a very stable stage. The emergence of railways further made Baotou more closely connected with the surrounding areas, especially as Baotou's industrial land gradually shrinks and the increasing cities have put huge pressure on Baotou. The construction plans of the 10 emerging cities have become a growth point in Baotou.
With two coal industrial cities in Shanxi, the steel factory in Baiyun Obo, and a new machine city was also established between Baiyun Obo and Baotou. Yang Yuanzhao transferred all the things related to machinery manufacturing in Baotou. Relying on the steel from Baiyun Obo, the machine city quickly became a real industrial city. Large factories for railway support are the focus of this emerging city.
It is impossible for Yang Yuanzhao to produce all the things of trains. He put down some things that are not very important and do not have much technological content to minimize the use of all-in-one machines. Finally, with the help of a large number of technicians and engineers introduced from abroad, he determined the assembly plant for train cars and locomotives. With the support of Baiyun Obo, this assembly plant completed about 90% of its own production and about 7% of its imports. A train or carriage needs all-in-one machines to produce things, which only accounts for about 3%. In this way, even if Yang Yuanzhao puts about 30% of the production of all-in-one machines on the train cars, the materials completed by the integrated machine every month are enough to produce about 300 cars and about 70 locomotives.
Don’t underestimate this number. If full-load production can be achieved, the total annual volume will reach 3,600 cars and 840 locomotives. This is also an amazing number in the world's train production field. It is estimated that even if the railway construction in Baotou is accelerating, it will be enough to support the rapid expansion of the entire China railway.
The train matter was solved successfully under the dual role of an all-in-one machine and a large factory. It was this that made Yang Yuanzhao think of another thing. In the laboratory, Yang Yuanzhao has focused on it for more than half a year. After thinking about the train locomotive, Yang Yuanzhao has decided to develop an internal combustion engine.
Unlike the previous concerns, Baotou is now safe. It has more than 50,000 troops. After systematic training and equipped with a large number of heavy artillery, Baotou is a solid part-time job in defense, especially after having a radio station, it can even play a role. There is absolutely no problem with inside combat. In this case, you can boldly take out some things that exceed this era.
Yang Yuanzhao's career is an engineer of internal combustion engines. He knew very well that he even made engines that were produced only after 40 years. Whether popular and advanced things must be taken out? In the end, Yang Yuanzhao chose to make the engine more advanced. It is necessary to ensure that the advantages of the axles, internal cylinder blocks, and coatings are one of the future development directions of the engine. These parts occupy the overall structure of the engine and will not exceed 5%, which is the highest part of improving performance and horsepower. Even the current powers are absolutely unable to manufacture these parts.
In a sense, this reduces the crisis caused by the leakage of things. This is how the world-class automobile groups in later generations did it. China purchased their products but was unable to produce something like them. The reason is that the materials and processing. How to maximize the impact on the engine is what Yang Yuanzhao needs to do during this period. Otherwise, those things that simply adjust the layout and design and do not improve a lot of materials will be taken out and obtained by foreigners, with the powerful processing and scientific research capabilities of the United States and the United Kingdom, not to mention patents, it endangers national security, and no patent is easy to use. Learning from the engine will quickly help them update.
I tried thousands of different materials, but these are not just one material that I just found. These are all verified by Yang Yuanzhao and are more practical in the engine. Most of them are currently unprocessable in Baotou, and even in the future for a long time.
Baotou's machine tools are definitely at the forefront of the world. At present, it is still the first generation in the world, at most the second generation of machine tools. Baotou directly separates high-speed steel and enters the blade of powder smelting. The speed is much higher than that of ordinary super-hard steel. Therefore, there is the possibility of processing special materials, especially these high-performance, in terms of hardness and high temperature resistance, which gives you the ability to give you excellent materials.
The 12 different internal combustion engines are lined up in the laboratory and look particularly neat, but there are huge differences in size. For example, the largest one can reach an astonishing horsepower of 250 horsepower. For this era, dozens of horsepower, or at most more than one hundred horsepower internal combustion engines, this is definitely a giant, and it can even be used to push tanks.
The biggest one is used to make load-load vehicles or various engineering machinery. Those are big horsepower players. These will be modified on the basis of this largest diesel engine. This part will also be the core of future special motor vehicle manufacturers. To a certain extent, the confidentiality level is very high. In the areas controlled by Baotou, different colors will be delineated. This high-power engine must be used in the areas controlled by Baotou.
Apart from this, the others are very simple. From the smallest engine with a size of 70 horsepower to the 200 horsepower engine, the sizes are different and the difficulty of making is different. Without exception, advanced materials are used. Even if the material problem is not solved, even if it is accidentally taken away by the other party, it is at most some references to designs. Exactly the same engines cannot be manufactured at all. These are the core of future motor vehicle manufacturers. Even some small and smaller horsepower will be used as the engines of cars. With the help of Baotou's strong industrial capabilities, they will produce qualified cars with the world's leading ones, and will be exported to further lay a good foundation for Baotou.
The experimental report clearly shows various numbers. Yang Yuanzhao carefully measures and registers each one. These are basically finalized. Next, a special engineer designs the production line and can be put on the market as a mature product. Baotou's future automobile city will not be with the production places of train and locomotives, but in another direction, near Suiyuan, a newly built city about 30 kilometers away from Suiyuan.
