Chapter 282: Exploration Meeting 1
readx;???“ The executive committee presiding over the meeting is here, please take a seat, and the meeting will begin soon. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" Xiao Jing saw that Sun Wenbin was coming, and hurriedly reminded the elders of the industrial department who were still in tandem outside the door.
Several patriarchs outside the door hurriedly followed into the room with the sign of "Industrial Council Club". These rooms are empty and not overly furnished. The Great Hall of the Senate is a huge conference hall that can accommodate about 500 people, and it was originally used as a place to hold a general meeting of the senators. However, after the establishment of the vast majority of the time was idle, so the Senate authorized the various departments to form clubs in the name of the department, divide the districts, cut them by wooden walls, and manage them freely, and then temporarily take them back for use when it was necessary to hold a general meeting.
Since there were many departments in the Senate and the number of people in different departments was different, the allocated areas were also of varying sizes. So in the beginning, several departments were connected together to form a large joint club. However, a contradiction soon arose, because at this stage there was not enough housing, and even fewer departments could have meeting rooms, so many departments chose to have meetings directly in the club. But if you hold a meeting, I don't have a meeting, and the elders who make the meeting and the entertainment overlap several times, and everyone is unhappy. Therefore, in the end, the departments still chose to separate, and set up their own independent clubs, at least their own departments went to the club for leisure, and they didn't have to worry about other departments meeting or something.
Seeing that everyone was already seated, Sun Wenbin coughed lightly and said, "Hello everyone, we are presiding over the meeting here today, and the key is to decide whether to send a long-range exploration team south into the Nanban territory, and whether to carry out a vote on whether to establish overseas colonies in the future. ”
"I need to report on the exploitation of oil first." Shi Li was the first to stand up and said, "Since we confirmed the discovery of oil in Guangrong Ridge, we have extracted some of the oil during this time, but our transportation efficiency is very low, the amount of extracted oil transported to the new refinery is also very low, and there have been several accidents of overturning on the road. And the equipment in our refinery is produced in this time and space, although there is no problem in design, but there are no sophisticated enough machines to produce these equipment, some of the accuracy is not up to the mark, and some of the materials are not up to par. Although we have produced 700 kilograms of gasoline and 1,400 kilograms of diesel since extraction, we have consumed more than six tons of crude oil, which is far below the crude oil refining efficiency of the old time and space. ”
"You're not going to be as productive as you were on the old plane, are you?" Zhang Yuan was a little dissatisfied, "If you want to say, the waste of crude oil refining in the early days of the old time and space is even higher, right?" We are just starting out now, although there are blueprints for the oil refining equipment of the old space, you also know that our production is not up to par, and the production efficiency will definitely be lower than that of the old space. ”
"That's what I mean," Shi Li hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I mean, it is not easy for us to directly refine crude oil, but there is already crude oil at this time, because the quality of the oil shale that can be extracted here is not high, so our oil shale refining equipment is vacant, which is a great waste of the tonnage occupied by us in order to carry this batch of oil shale refining equipment when we cross." I don't think it's very suitable for these devices to be damaged in long-term idle conditions, so it is urgent to send a long-range exploration team to explore the oil shale distribution area on the Nanban territory, and it must be carried out immediately. I therefore strongly support this initiative. ”
"This matter is indeed necessary," Zhang Yuan also stood up and made a clear statement, "At this stage, the production projects of our industrial sector are mainly concentrated in heavy industry and petrochemical industry in metallurgy and hardware," he said and looked at Shi Li, who nodded several times in a hurry, "The petrochemical industry has developed slowly because of the lack of heavy industry at the beginning, and it has not even started at all in many aspects." ”
Zhang Yuan said and turned to look at the members of the industrial group, "Light and heavy industry is the two legs of a country's industry, both legs must be strong, and the steps cannot be different, otherwise the possibility of pulling the egg is very great, and the consequences of only attaching importance to heavy industry and ignoring light industry are obvious, we have learned from the past, the Soviet Union after World War II in order to shorten the gap between heavy industry and the United States, formulated a plan for the development of heavy industry by the Soviet Union, and the development of light industry and agriculture by other Warsaw Pact countries. As a result, when the Soviet Warsaw Pact system collapsed, the Soviet Union's heavy industry was suddenly in surplus, and light industry was extremely scarce, which created the ridiculous phenomenon that Chinese gentlemen who were all the rage back then could replace a new refrigerator with a few pairs of plastic sandals. ”
"That's right," Xiao Jing said as he sat in his seat, holding a mark teacup in his hand, "Our industries in clothing and textiles are still developing benignly, but in terms of petrochemical industry, there is basically zero, and the production equipment of the chemical plant is still being installed and commissioned," his words were quickly interrupted by Shi Li, "The installation has not been installed yet, and we don't have enough cement and manpower to carry out the handling and installation of machinery and equipment." ”
Xiao Jing had no choice but to nod, "chemical industry has a great impact on our lives, such as PVC pipes that we often use in our daily life and production, these things are very important, we mainly use bamboo pipes at this stage, we all know that bamboo pipes are difficult to process, especially after soaking in water, they are particularly easy to break, and bamboo pipes are almost never the same thickness, and it is very difficult to dock these jobs." In contrast, it is much better if you use PVC. ”
Settle the scientific examination, the love department, seal the enemy, and test the independence
"PVC, do we have it?" Now it was Sun Wenbin's turn to be in a daze, "Can we produce PVC?" ”
"Polyvinyl chloride is not particularly troublesome, as long as there is calcium carbide, it can be produced." Shi Li took a leisurely sip of tea and said, "It's a bit polluting, if you use petroleum to refine ethylene to make polyvinyl chloride, the quality is higher, but the calcium carbide method is not affected by oil production, as long as there is calcium oxide, it can be produced, it is quicklime." He said and stood up, "Quicklime and coke are calcined together in an electric furnace at 2,200 degrees Celsius to produce calcium carbide." As he spoke, he became interested, "Calcium carbide is a very useful thing in our current production, for example, when mining ore, it can be placed in an iron tank and used as a calcium carbide lamp; Acetylene can also be used as a welding torch and cutting torch when it is mixed with oxygen, and it can also be used to weld metal materials when we do not have qualified electrodes at this stage; In addition, calcium carbide itself can also be used as a desulfurizer in the steel industry. All in all, the production of calcium carbide is imperative. ”
"What about investment?" Sun Wenbin didn't know how useful these things Shi Li was talking about, so he asked money directly.
"Money is not a problem, our chemical department has pulled an investment of three thousand taels of silver, and at the same time there is an appropriation from the Senate, so production is not a problem. Now with the grease separated from the oil, power generation is not a particularly big problem, as long as the electric furnace is manufactured, the production of calcium carbide can be realized immediately. ”
Sun Qiuqiu's distant skills are not good, and he is not observant
"But the free wheel is still in the plan, existing on the design drawings, and began to survey and build according to this size?" Isn't it early? ”
"Electric furnaces are not easy to make," Zhang Yuan said directly, "Electric furnaces have high requirements for materials, and I suspect that if we make electric furnaces with existing materials, we may melt the furnace first...... So is there any other production method for calcium carbide production? ”
"There is an aerobic heat method, which is very inefficient and not suitable for use. Let's take this step by step, anyway, the chemical plant is still in the initial construction, take your time, by the way, aren't we talking about remote exploration? Shi Li suddenly remembered the main topic of the meeting.
After not far too cool, far stars are not unavoidable
"Yes," Sun Wenbin was a little speechless, this digression put himself in his pocket. "Let's talk about remote exploration first."
"In this case, we need the survey team to send people," Zhou Lihang, who was in charge of the exploration team, immediately said, Shi Li and Zhang Yuan were so good at the off-topic just now that even he went to the top. "Our exploration team first needs to explore the areas with high production, and then the survey team will draw up a map of the area and select the area where the colony will live."
"Choosing a settlement is not an easy task," Xie Mingfang's voice was thin but clear, "first of all, there must be enough drinking water sources that will not be cut off from the outside, and there must be areas suitable for farming, at least to ensure that food is self-sufficient." We are thousands of miles away from there, and even if the Dongfeng runs it, it will take several days, and if the supplies can't keep up, it will be troublesome. In addition, settlements must have the conditions for the establishment of ports to ensure that they can be put into operation in the short term. ”
"Yes, it is necessary to survey the depth of the water according to the size of the freewheel, and clean the waterway, otherwise the freewheel will not be able to dock at all."
"But the freewheel is still in the plan, existing in the design drawings, and began to survey and build according to this size? Isn't it early? ”
"But the freeship will be put into use sooner or later, and after the modification of the four Victory ships is completed, we will be able to assemble the freewheels in the dockyard, and this time will be until the spring and summer of next year at the latest, and if the expected speed is followed, the first freewheel will be launched and outfitted in about half a year."
"That's right, and the building committee's plan is to build six dry docks in batches, and by next spring or summer -- if cement production can keep up, then all six dry docks will be operational." Xie Mingfang's words were interrupted by Cheng Jun as soon as he finished speaking, "I'm afraid it's a little difficult, Portland cement production may not be able to meet the construction needs of so many factories and residences at the same time in the short term, and the Planning Commission has always been stretched thin in regulating the distribution of cement, especially during this period when the amount of cement needed by chemical plants is huge, and even the soil cement has been transferred, which is not enough." ”
Shi Li said helplessly, "You still think we use a lot, why don't you say that the area we want to build is large?" Loading docks, truck stations in chemical plants, what don't you need cement? At the beginning, they didn't give us enough resources and manpower to build, and now our people are rushing to work every day. As a result, Yusha always stuck my neck in the manpower arrangement, and the construction period has been delayed a lot, if this speed continues, just to put the chemical equipment in place, it will be at least tossed until around October this year. ”
"Who, Executive Committee Member Sun, doesn't your father-in-law have a Zhuangzi there? I heard that they have also invested in chemical companies, so why don't they directly help build chemical plants? You can also take over their land and show your hand in front of your father-in-law! ”
"Huh?" Sun Wenbin was stunned, "Why did you toss to the chemical plant again, don't always go off topic, okay?" I also want to contract the land of Liujiazhai, but Lao Liu won't let me. ”
"Okay!" There was a burst of laughter below, "We heard it, you call your father-in-law Lao Liu, hahaha......"
Sun Wenbin's face suddenly darkened, just a figure of eight is enough to annoy him, if Lao Liu's name spreads out, how tortuous will this wife's experience be?
"Don't worry, this joke will be told among our patriarchs, and it won't spread to the natives." Xie Mingfang said with a smile, "Let's continue the meeting, I said before that for the demand for deep-water ports, as a settlement for the members of the Senate, there must be a deep-water port next to it, first of all, to ensure that warships can approach and protect the settlement in case of emergency, and secondly, if it really can't be defeated, it can be quickly evacuated through the artificial dock." In addition, if you want to increase or withdraw troops, you can quickly disembark and disembark through the dock, which can improve efficiency. ”
"That's right," Cheng Jun added, "If we can really find such a place in the land of Nanban, where there is enough oil shale to provide production, I think it is better to directly relocate the entire oil shale production line, so as not to ship back and forth, not only to occupy the terminal throughput of Dongfang Port, but also to occupy a large amount of our maritime capacity." ”
"Relocation of all the oil shale production lines?" Everyone was taken aback, "What if the Southern Barbarian army is approaching and directly incinerates and dismantles the factory equipment?" ”
"This is what the military department needs to solve, and we are afraid that we will have to station troops overseas for a long time." "To protect an oil shale production line, we need to know how many people are needed to run the production line," Cheng said. ”
"The number of people needed for this production line will be relatively large, it should be between 300 and 500 people." Liu Yeqiang nodded lightly with his right index finger on the table and said, "Originally, we didn't need so many people, but because our machinery and equipment are not perfect, before the mining is mechanized and the transportation is tracked, I am afraid that the scale of at least five hundred people will be needed to ensure the operation." ”
"Five hundred?" The person next to him began to sit still, "The food that 500 people need to consume in a month is about 7.5 tons, and a large number of building materials must be transported, can our existing transportation capacity meet the needs?" ”
"We don't have to worry about building materials, the oil shale slag left behind can be used to make cement clinker, ceramic fibers, ceramsite and many other building materials, we can build factories to produce cement and bricks from slag in situ, and only need to transport steel bars to sustain subsequent construction work. In addition, oil shale can produce many by-products, ammonium sulfate can be used as fertilizer; Phenols and pyridines can be used to produce synthetic fibers, plastics, fuels, and chemical raw materials for drugs; The exhaust gas can be burned like liquefied gas. These could all be produced in small factories near settlements, provided that the production of oil shale was carried out first, and then it was largely self-sufficient. ”(.html)
