Chapter 593 The bus is offline
Changchun in August
The weather is hot and humid, with green trees and blooming flowers, showing a vibrant scene everywhere. The rice fields on the outskirts of the city are green, and the fields are full of hope for a good harvest.
Changchun Bus Factory,
Sparks flew everywhere in the workshop, and the machines roared one after another. The workers' hands were covered with oil, but their faces were filled with expectant smiles.
There are ten buses lined up on the production line!
Factory manager Xu Tengfei stood beside the production line, his eyes fixed on the last process, his hands trembling nervously, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.
As the last screw was tightened, the bus slowly rolled off the production line. The bus body glowed with a cold metallic luster in the morning light, with strong and powerful lines. The dark gray paintwork looked solemn and steady, and the word "Changchun" on the front of the bus was particularly eye-catching.
The workers burst into warm applause and cheers, and some even shouted: "Our bus is finally off the production line!" Xu Tengfei's eyes were moist, and he gently stroked the door as if he was touching a precious work of art.
This bus can carry 75 people, uses a six-cylinder gasoline engine, has a horsepower of 100, and can reach a maximum speed of 80 kilometers per hour! It can fully meet the needs of urban public transportation and intercity long and short distance transportation!
Its interior is simple and practical. The seats are made of solid wood, which is a bit rough but exudes a sense of simplicity. The instrument panel is equipped with a barometer, tachometer and odometer, which are simple but clear. A low humming sound came from the engine compartment, as if telling its power and reliability.
Then, the bus was tested for the first time. Xu Tengfei sat in the driver's seat, holding the steering wheel tightly with both hands, feeling the vibration of the engine. The bus slowly drove out of the factory area, and the spring suspension system made a slight sound on the bumpy road. Although the comfort was limited, the stable power output made Xu Tengfei feel relieved.
After a test drive, Xu Tengfei immediately reported to his superiors. Just half an hour later, Mayor Mei Ping called him personally and reminded him of one thing: to go all out in production and strive to provide 9 buses to Beijing in batches before September 15!
He didn't know why it was so urgent, but fortunately, the production of buses this year adopted a division of labor and cooperation system, with 100 buses a month. For him, the head office was only responsible for the production of body and assembly. As long as the parts provided by each factory were timely, the quantity would not be a big problem!
Xu Tengfei then called several manufacturers of engines, transmissions, and chassis, and later arranged for someone to notify several outsourcing companies in Mulan Special District. It turned out that the production capacity of several of them could reach at least 200 sets per month.
Xu Tengfei hurriedly called several workshop directors over and held an emergency meeting, limiting the monthly production to 200 vehicles! Strive to exceed the task targets assigned by superiors!
Bin County,
General Machinery Factory,
Accompanied by the factory director Lou Jun,
Yin Xinjun came to the power generation equipment workshop No. 1,
Staring at a thermal power generator on the production line,
Lou Jun reported:
"Among the four major workshops in the factory, the power generation equipment has always been the busiest, especially at the beginning of this year, many cities in the interior have placed orders. So far, 68 thermal power generating units have been shipped this year, with an installed power of 305 million kilowatts!"
Yin Xinjun asked with concern,
"How is it going? How is the production speed? Are there any difficulties?"
Director Chen called me today. The National Economic Commission has drawn up a three-year plan. All major cities across the country will have electricity before October 10 this year, all small and medium-sized cities will have electricity before October 1 next year, and all county towns will have electricity before October 10, 1!
Lou Jun replied,
"This year, the factory has received more than 2000 interns from the interior. Currently, there is no problem with the staff, but these workers will start to return to the interior one after another next month!
You just mentioned the three-year plan, but the factory is still facing a shortage of workers!"
This group of intern workers were selected from the four major cities assisted by the Special Administrative Region, with a total of more than 9 people, covering various industries. Now almost all state-owned factories in Mulan Special Administrative Region have accepted interns, but with the completion of the first batch of factories in September, these workers will also have to return to their original places in batches starting from September.
"You don't have to worry about that. After the Jinan Power Generation Equipment Factory starts operation, they will also share part of the production tasks. This time, our aid to the interior is to replicate all the factories in the Mulan Special Zone!"
If we want to industrialize, we must first have electricity. This task still has a long way to go. Only the Mulan Special District has achieved an installed power generation capacity of 410 million kilowatts, covering all towns and villages, but it is estimated that it will take at least three years to connect every village!
According to Director Chen’s statistics, the total installed capacity within the Great Wall is only 87 kilowatts, less than a fraction of the total installed capacity of 690 million kilowatts in the entire Northeast!
However, this number will take a leap next month. In September, power plants in Beijing, Zhengzhou, Shijiazhuang, Xuzhou and Jinan will all install new equipment to generate electricity!
After visiting the power generation equipment workshop, the two came to the steelmaking equipment workshop. All the steelmaking equipment manufactured here will be shipped to Shijiazhuang. Hebei has rich iron ore reserves, and the Shijiazhuang Iron and Steel Plant is expected to be put into operation in May next year!
Yin Xinjun estimates that at least ten more steel mills need to be built across the country, with an annual output of at least 5000 million tons, to meet the needs of industrialization!
Then we came to the synthetic ammonia equipment workshop, which is the most important equipment for increasing national grain production.
Lou Jun reported:
"There are currently two sets of synthetic ammonia equipment orders waiting to be installed in the factory, one is reserved by Jinzhou Fertilizer Plant, and the other is reserved by Shenyang Fertilizer Plant. However, the construction speed of these two factories is relatively slow, and delivery by the end of this year is somewhat uncertain.
At present, Beijing, Nanjing, Changsha, Wuhan, Suzhou, Shanghai and other places in the interior have placed orders for 15 sets of equipment, requiring delivery from June to September next year! The key is that except for our Mulan Special Zone and the four cities we assisted in the construction, the construction speed of factories in other places is really too slow! "
Yin Xinjun smiled. If you want to speed up infrastructure construction, you have to spend money. He relies on this routine. With crazy resources, the infrastructure construction speed of Mulan Special Zone will also be very fast. Other places can't afford it! So the progress is naturally slow!
The two visited the last workshop, the cement equipment workshop, which is also the key to ensuring the country's major infrastructure.
Lou Jun said,
"Orders for cement equipment are growing rapidly. At present, cement plants in Beijing, Nanjing, Shanghai and other places have ordered some equipment for maintenance and update. Zhengzhou and Xuzhou, which we assisted in the construction, have each arranged a set of equipment. Other places such as Xi'an, Yinchuan, Anqing, Wuhan, Changsha, Fuzhou, Guangzhou and other places have ordered 10 sets of complete equipment, so this workshop is also very busy! The delivery date has been scheduled for two years later!"
Yin Xinjun nodded.
"We still need to find ways to increase subcontracting efforts and divide the workload among private enterprises! This year, many private enterprises have developed rapidly. Next month, I will lead a team to conduct research at a number of large private enterprises. I hope that some large-scale leading enterprises will emerge next year!"
