"The ministry said that it owes us a personal favor" Liang Haiping opened his mouth and turned Liang Yuanzhen over.

What is this, playing hooligan, the Ministry of Railways is hanging, how can anyone throw a cannonball straight upright, what about sugarcoating, Liang Yuan shouted in his heart, breaking the rules.

Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan's stunned appearance with satisfaction, it is rare for his nephew to show such an expression, now I don't want to look at it a few times, I don't know how long it will take next time I want to see it.

No, the advantage of the Ministry of Railways in this matter has definitely not reached the point of crushing, the Northeast Locomotive Factory is not a pure white rabbit, forced to tear up the investment agreement signed with the GDR, the matter is big, at that time it is not the Ministry of Railways can do it alone, beyond their own control, the bigwigs will never take risks.

Looking at Liang Haiping looking at himself with a smile, Liang Yuan knew that he had been deceived by his uncle, Liang Yuan rolled his eyes, supported his forehead with his hand, and could only sigh helplessly, he had bluffed his uncle countless times in the past half a year, and he couldn't help but let his family retaliate.

Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan and rolled his eyes, and then showed a helpless smile, knowing that Liang Yuan had come back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Let you also experience the experience, how did Uncle survive in the past half a year." ”

"But it's true that I owe a personal favor, the head chosen by Xiaoyuan is really reliable, and the 243 head is also a one-time loop test. Liang Haiping said with a smile.

The 243 electric locomotive is worthy of being one of the locomotives with the best stability in the world, and the Ministry of Railways took local materials and directly hung 3 25S cars at the ring line test site, and it took one day to complete the entire inspection project. There is an example of the bottom of the 25S car, the Ministry of Railways adopts the way of rotating the crew, resting people without stopping the train, the whole detection is done in one go, running more than 2,000 kilometers in one breath, and waiting for the end of the ring line detection 243 type electric locomotive only accumulates 9 Class C faults similar to the loosening of the screws of the heat dissipation grille, and some instruments need to be accurately calibrated.

Listening to Liang Haiping finish talking about the situation of the ring line detection, Liang Yuan smiled. In the half century of the existence of the socialist camp, there were only more than 10 kinds of elite industrial products, all of which were produced by later generations after more than 30 years. Tested in the big waves and sand, of course, it is reliable.

"I owe you a favor. Liang Yuan smacked his lips and continued: "This thing may be priceless, and more likely it is cheap. Dealing with these middle-aged and elderly people is really tiring, there is not a word of accuracy, what is the use of the favor owed by the ministry, and it is not private, this is simply a euphemism that I thank you on behalf of the people of the whole country. ”

"But it's rare for the ministry to put its posture so low. Liang Yuan said with some confusion.

What Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping didn't know was that after the 243 electric locomotive was tested, the Ministry of Railways was calm on the surface, and there was not even a short news message, which was actually among the people who were qualified to know about it. There is already an undercurrent.

In the 80s, the first speed of China's railways that was really put into operation on paper was the Dongfanghong 1 diesel locomotive produced during the Great Leap Forward, with a maximum speed of 140 kilometers per hour and a maximum power of 910 horsepower. The maximum power of the later modification was increased to 1050 horsepower, and the maximum speed was reduced to 120 km/h.

In addition to the 74 Dongfanghong 1 locomotives produced during the Great Leap Forward, marked with a speed of 140 kilometers per hour, there is no locomotive with a traction speed higher than 120 kilometers in China's railways, and the 243 electric locomotive easily broke through the speed barrier of 140 kilometers per hour when it pulled three simulated fully loaded 25S undercarriages.

The 243 type nose loop line ended on the day. Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory, which has developed the SS series electric locomotive, called the Equipment Department of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Railways, proposing to relocate the localization project of Type 243 electric locomotive to Zhuzhou, and use the experience accumulated by Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory in the research and development of electric locomotives for many years to complete the localization work as soon as possible.

Before drafting the official document, the Equipment Department called the Northeast Locomotive Factory to learn about the situation of the 243 type locomotive, but was unexpectedly told that the 243 type electric locomotive was not under the management of the Northeast Locomotive Factory at all, but under the management of the third variety of operations of the Benxi Train Depot, and the multi-manager was responsible for paying the money, and the Northeast Locomotive Factory was only responsible for the localization work according to the drawings, and the rest was unknown.

For his own convenience, Liang Haiping merged the supply section of the multi-manager office and the locomotive management logistics into one office, and handed over some miscellaneous affairs to Zhou Heng's fiancée, Fu Juan, to manage.

Occasionally, when Liang Haiping invited the staff around him to dinner, some people asked about the purpose of the 243 locomotive, whether the factory would produce it in the future, and the locomotive factory had not worked for many years, so the workers were very concerned about the production of things.

Liang Haiping has never figured out what Liang Yuan wants to do with this locomotive, but he knows that Liang Yuan plans to use the 243 locomotive as a platform, and Liang Haiping has always told the truth about the problems of the employees, and directly told him that the introduction of the 243 locomotive is mainly to learn from the technology of the GDR, and the locomotive factory will not mass produce in the future, at most it will produce a few for practical use.

Therefore, Fu Juan knew that the car factory did not mean to produce 243 noses on a large scale. When Fu Juan received a phone call, she heard that the Equipment Department of the Ministry of Railways wanted to mass-produce Type 243 locomotives, and when she asked if it was not Liang Haiping's instruction, Fu Juan directly refused, telling the Equipment Department that this thing was for us to do scientific research, and there was no plan to mass produce and operate it online.

Get such an unexpected result, the equipment department is a little dumbfounded, the Northeast Locomotive Factory has been out for many years, these years the department has not paid attention to this enterprise at all, it can be said that there is no influence at all, plus the first part of the station section after the big package has increased greatly, the head of the depot does not apply for online operation, and the equipment department can not grasp the depot, can only stare dryly.

The cannon fodder of the mine was frustrated, and the Development Planning Department naturally could not sit idly by, and only after a check of the relationship did it find that the 243 locomotive really had nothing to do with the railway system, and although the multi-manager had the name of a railway enterprise, it had very close contacts with the troops. The main business is actually engaged in foreign trade in Suifenhe.

Isn't this a good thing, a foreign trade enterprise and a locomotive factory that almost went bankrupt to study electric locomotives, and then have no intention of going online for operation, this thing is like a normal person doing?

After finding a copy of the package locomotive transfer agreement signed between the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the GDR, the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Railways had no choice but to invest 400 million yuan a year to open a series of shopping malls in the GDR, and also allowed the GDR to shop in its own currency. Regardless of whether this company is looking for death or not, it is no longer possible for a department to handle this level.

Finally, the request of Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory. Together with a series of materials found by the Development Planning Department, it was sent to Vice Minister Liu Zhi's hand.

In the eyes of high-level officials, things that go against common sense are absolutely proportional to the size of power. The level has reached Liu Zhigao's Cheng dù. Some time ago, the army made several special trains to pull production equipment worth hundreds of millions of yuan to the Northeast Locomotive Factory, and I don't know how deep the water here is, but the troops were allowed to do business in 87.

If you can't come hard, you can only come soft, Liu Zhigao himself is also very optimistic about the 243 locomotive, 140 kilometers per hour has touched the threshold of high-speed railway, who can take the lead in making a breakthrough in high-speed railway, it can be said that the Minister of Railways has reached two-thirds, 286 But on many occasions it has been said that Japan's Shinkansen is "as fast as the wind." We can have this too. ”

In the end, Liu Zhigao found Zhao Tiemin, the chief engineer who was also interested in the 243 locomotive, and the two of them sent a tentative signal to the Northeast Locomotive Factory, but what he didn't expect was that the Northeast Locomotive Factory was in collusion with the Shengjing Road Bureau in a blink of an eye, and turned the Shengjing Road Bureau into a comrade-in-arms in the trenches with a 25S car bottom leasing plan.

The original locomotive factory was enough to get hands on. This time, they hooked up with the Shengjing Road Bureau again, and the helpless Liu Zhigao and Zhao Tiemin had to come forward in person, striving to reach a consensus with the Northeast Locomotive Factory in front of other forces in the ministry.

Liang Haiping and Liang Yuan knew about this series of twists and turns behind them, Liang Haiping said with a smile after hearing Liang Yuan's complaints: "It's not that the ministry hasn't given any benefits, didn't I mention to Liu Changhe that the technical strength is insufficient, and the ministry will tilt us in the distribution of college students in the future." ”

The college students of '87 were still in the era of planned allocation. Without the permission of the Ministry of Railways, it would have been impossible for Liang Yuan to figure out the formal channels to supplement Gao Su zhì employees.

"This one isn't bad. Liang Yuan smiled and nodded.

After digesting the technology of the GDR, when it really started to develop high-speed trains on its own, it was a joke to rely on the current technical strength of the Tohoku Locomotive Factory. At least thousands of employees must be supplemented, and only when looking for a good leader can the R&D team be able to operate. For this scale of talent replenishment, the Ministry of Railways is a link that must go through.

"It's not going to be just this one, is it?"

"The ministry asked the depot what aspect of the future development plan should be focused on?

Liang Yuan Liang Haiping said this, realizing that the Ministry of Railways was bleeding this time, like the original Northeast Locomotive Factory, Chengdu Locomotive Factory, the decline of these factories is related to the Ministry of Railways' centralized support policy.

After the large-scale construction of war preparedness in the 60s and 70s, there were at least 100 railway rolling stock factories in the country, and after the Ministry of Railways focused on supporting and optimizing the combination, only seven survived in the end when entering the new century.

But this is really a trouble for Liang Yuan, focusing on support means being infiltrated by the ministry, for Liang Yuan, who has a ghost in his heart, this will add countless difficulties to the future work of digging corners, and Liang Yuan is still somewhat sure of the army in the future, if the Ministry of Railways is participating in the merger, Liang Yuan of the Northeast Locomotive Factory will not have to make up his mind anymore.

"This is really a happy annoyance, or we don't support it, and just hand over the nose of the machine. Liang Yuan grabbed his hair and said.

Simple and crude refusal is the most brainless choice, Liu Zhigao, Zhao Tiemin promised this, must be to pull the Northeast Locomotive Factory closer to their camp, the Ministry of Railways has never been a monolith, full of a variety of line disputes, in politics is divided into reformists, conservatives, technology is divided into internal combustion, electric power, in the future there will be more wheels and rails and maglev factions, management is divided into monopoly faction, open faction, management of centralized faction and contracting faction .......

Although the Northeast Locomotive Factory hugged the thigh of the Shengjing Road Bureau, the vehicles of the Road Bureau will always be replaced one day. The Northeast Locomotive Factory has to go out sooner or later, and the support of the senior management of the ministry is more important at this time. In particular, Liang Yuan intends to penetrate his tentacles into the field of high-speed railway, with China's national conditions, it is simply unimaginable without the support of the Ministry of Railways, otherwise a debate about centralized traction or decentralized traction will be enough for Liang Yuan to work for several years.

Liang Haiping thought about it and understood what Liang Yuan meant. didn't speak, just looked at Liang Yuan with a smile and thought of a way.

Liang Yuan looked at Liang Haiping with a smile and looked at himself with great ease. complained and said: "Uncle, I'm not the director of the locomotive factory, so I can't figure it out alone." ”

"I wasn't thinking about moving something back to my house. Why don't you go home and ask your dad and see how this matter is handled?" Liang Haiping said with added fuel to the fire.

For Liang Jiangping, the Ministry of Railways directly administered the Northeast Locomotive Factory, which is equivalent to the restoring of the former glory of the depot, and this result is wonderful.

Liang Yuan thought of this terrible consequence and hurriedly said: "Uncle, in the future, no matter what, I can't let Comrade Liang go to the ministry on behalf of the car factory, if my father knows the news, Ming'er will report to the ministry to restore it to the direct jurisdiction." Even if the army has some doubts, my dad will definitely find Uncle Ning to settle it, which is simply terrifying. ”

"It's hard to get the factory on the right track, and after handing it over to those bastards in the ministry, the factory will be half-dead in less than five years. When the time comes, uncle, you will have to turn out your military coat to do the escort, Uncle Zhou, do you say yes?" Liang Yuan did not forget to win over Zhou Heng, who had been working as a driver for Comrade Liang.

The workers of the depot have always been very dissatisfied with the ministry, and the older generation of workers have watched the Ministry of Railways gradually shrink their investment and support efforts, and push the factory to the brink of bankruptcy step by step.

Zhou Hengxin nodded and said, "Xiaojuan told me more than once. It is best that Director Liang has been the director of the factory and completely goes out of the factory, otherwise the whim will break up again or something, and in the end it is us ordinary workers who are unlucky. ”

Most people are the most ordinary economic animals, after several salary adjustments, the rumors of the factory have long disappeared, and the two major steel enterprises in the same city as the car factory, the salary of front-line workers is basically 50 yuan a month, and the car factory can do sanitation and cleaning can be opened to 60 yuan a month, counting the tickets in hand, the mental outlook of the workers is completely new, as if it has restored the grandeur of the central enterprises in the fifties.

Some time ago, Liang Jiangping also said a joke that the workers of the depot went to Gongnong Road to buy vegetables, and the stall owners directly took the best, and then sold it for a penny, which made the whole staff of the depot wearing the same road uniform complain, and then some people went to Liang Jiangping to give advice, thinking that the depot workers disturbed the price and hoped that the section could come out to deal with it.

Now Liang Haiping's position in the depot is in full swing, and what the depot workers are most afraid of is that Duan Li will not keep his promises, oust Liang Haiping, and bring the enterprise back under the jurisdiction of Duanli.

"Don't put on a sad face. Liang Haiping said

"Uncle doesn't believe that you are reluctant to give up the 243 electric locomotive, hurry up and tell me your ghost idea, even Uncle has been hiding it for so long. ”

Although Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping have said countless times that this locomotive is the future or something, from a practical point of view, Liang Yuan really didn't pay much attention to the 243 electric locomotive, the structure of the electric locomotive is far more complex than the 25S double-decker passenger car, and many locomotive parts are imported from the GDR.

In addition to the localization of the first 243 type electric locomotive head, such as bogies, wheelsets, locomotive skeletons, and shells, the rest of the electrical equipment, power systems and other parts are assembled original parts, Liang Yuan in addition to paying attention to the air spring of the 243 type head, and the localization progress of the less mature locomotive multi-unit microcomputer control system, he simply ignored the rest of the parts, and Liang Haiping had already guessed that Liang Yuan had other plans.

"Uncle, it's not that I'm hiding it from you, it's that I haven't figured out which camp to choose?" Liang Yuan said with a sad face.

"Uncle should know that railway traction locomotives are now divided into three categories, steam, internal combustion, electricity, steam is destined to be eliminated, we can ignore this, and the rest is only internal combustion and electricity"

"I have long found out that you are not interested in the nose of the 243, Xiaoyuan plans to engage in diesel locomotives in the future?" Liang Haiping asked.

Liang Yuan shook his head.

"That's the Type 120 electric locomotive from West Germany that you mentioned?"

Liang Yuan still shook his head, looked at Liang Haiping's puzzled expression, sighed and said: "In fact, in addition to internal combustion and electricity, there is also a kind of power nose that has also flourished. ”

In the fifties and sixties, before the petrochemical industry invented the petroleum cracking process, cheap heavy oil resembled refinery waste, and gas turbines were known for their fuel adaptability, so gas turbines flourished around the world.

At that time, the United States produced the world's largest single-engine output railway locomotive, the 8,500-horsepower Union Pacific Railway gas turbine locomotive, which could tow 12,000-ton heavy-duty marshalling with a single engine. France has developed the TGV001 high-speed gas turbine EMU, which can reach a maximum speed of 318 km/h when using a five-car train.

Although the gas turbine locomotive at that time had made great achievements in both passenger and cargo aspects, limited to the technical level at that time, the locomotive power was a simple cycle of open gas turbine units, and the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine was below 25%.

By the late sixties, after the petrochemical industry invented the cracking process, which allowed gasoline to be extracted from heavy oil, the price of fuel for gas turbine locomotives increased year by year.

After losing the fuel cost advantage, the weak points of gas turbine locomotives, such as high noise, high exhaust emissions, and low fuel efficiency during low-load operation, were exposed, making gas turbine locomotives disappear quickly. After entering the 70s, the power system of railway locomotives has regained its internal combustion and electric power.

Liang Haiping obviously worked the nose, and when he heard Liang Yuan mention the gas turbine locomotive, he shook his head again and again and said: "Datong Locomotive Factory once engaged in two gas turbine locomotives, Long March 1 and No. 2, and then one exploded and the other burned down, that thing is not suitable for railway locomotive power at all, Xiaoyuan, you are simply moving against the trend of history."
