After being attacked by Veronica for a round, Manturov began to enter the counter-attack phase. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He also took out a bunch of documents proving that the Novosibirsk region will not have these problems in the future, as Veronica said. He quickly swept through the notes he had just written, cleared his mind, and then gave a reason for his rebuttal.

"Comrades, this is a survey report on demographic trends in our state. As can be seen from the chart, in recent years, with the improvement of the living environment and the treatment of workers in our region, the population of our Novosibirsk region has increased by 50,000 to 100,000 per year, and most of them are working people. Mainly from the western regions of Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and the Far East.

Of course, there are also a large number of young people in our state who have completed their studies and reached working age, or some graduates who have studied at our state's colleges and universities and are doing internships in companies, or who have volunteered to stay and work.

We assess our workforce before we embark on any construction project. And this year, a number of large-scale construction projects in our state have been completed one after another, such as some enterprises of the military-industrial complex project, as well as the construction/expansion projects of various large factories have been completed or are close to completion.

Under such circumstances, the supply of future jobs in our state will be reduced, but experts do not expect much room for downward growth in the number of foreign workers in the next two to three years. Therefore, we need to build more industrial facilities, such as oil refining facilities, to increase the supply of jobs and cope with the increase in the working population. ”

After Manturov finished speaking, the two People's Commissars present nodded their heads in approval.

Veronica still retains her confident, strong woman look. Although she no longer has room to attack the other side on the point of the surplus working population, this does not mean that she will not launch a new offensive. "Comrade Manturov, you may be right in what you say, and I also believe in you, as well as in the judgment of the experts in your mouth.

However, it is important to understand that if an oil pipeline along the Ob River takes place, it will cause great damage to the environment and ecology. This was affirmed by the Deputy People's Commissar for Construction, Comrade Pavel Aleksandrovich Eukin, an environmental engineer. I think everyone should believe in the judgment of Comrade Eugene as a professional and deputy people's commissar for construction. ”

"Comrade Ustnova, please read the plan of the People's Commissariat of Oil." Manturov glanced at Kaganovich, and then said to Veronica: "The plan clearly states that the pipeline and the Ob River will be kept at a certain distance.

Moreover, as mentioned in the Ob River project, these pipelines will be constructed of corrosion-resistant steel produced at our Mantulovsky steelworks in the Novosibirsk region, which is highly resistant to corrosion and can avoid leakage due to corrosion of the pipes.

At the same time, an anti-corrosion coating will be added to the repair buckle of the pipe, and a sacrificial anode layer will be added to the periphery of the stainless steel pipe. In this way, when galvanic corrosion occurs, it is the sacrificial metal on the outer layer of the pipe that is more likely to be corroded, rather than the stainless steel pipe, so as to achieve the purpose of protecting the pipeline.

When we use the double protection method, there is almost no surprise. ”

When Manturov finished speaking, the two People's Commissars present also nodded their heads to express their affirmation of Manturov. But in fact, those who know the inside story also know that the oil pipelines in both schemes use the same anti-corrosion technology, and the same high-quality stainless steel produced by the Manturov steel plant in Novosibirsk will be used as the main material, and the anti-corrosion method of sacrificial anode will be used.

Of course, this was not discovered by Veronica, who knew nothing about engineering, and she was speechless. If, as Manturov said, the Novosibirsk plan uses double protection to ensure that there are no surprises, then Veronica's concerns about leaks are no longer valid.

In fact, no matter how good the protection technology is, no matter how multiple protections there are, there is no guarantee that there will be 100% no accidents. In the event of an accident, the leaked crude oil could indeed cause great damage to the environment of the Ob River.

But that's no excuse for abandoning the plan, otherwise how would we have so many undersea pipelines in the world today? The corrosion rate of building oil pipelines on the seabed is higher than that of building on land along the river, and the ecological damage can be greater, and the maintenance cost and repair difficulty are higher than that of building on land.

After a heated debate, and after the final climax, the two sides had become exhausted, the scene had returned to its original calm, and the two People's Commissars had basically decided on the plan they had in mind.

In terms of on-the-spot performance, both sides ended up in a draw. Although Manturov was attacked by Veronica at first, he showed his strength at the last moment, and he finally saved face when he launched a Jedi counterattack, and did not disappoint Anna, Igor, and Professor Ginsburg, who praised him from the beginning and graduated from the same school as him.

Veronica also won the attention of people, including Manturov, with her offensive at the beginning of the period, which was impressive. Her level of preparation, her ability to gather information, and her ability to gather the required information from the Novosibirsk region were also eye-opening.

"After listening to the opinions of the two comrades, I have a better understanding of the situation in the two places, and I have already made a decision in my heart." The words of the People's Commissar of Oil Kaganovich brought the debate to an end.

Kaganovic concluded: "In my opinion, both options have their advantages. There is no doubt that the construction of the Novosibirsk region is less difficult, and the training of personnel in the Novosibirsk region is better, and the industrial and technical bases have absolute advantages.

Although the Omsk region does not have an advantage on an industrial basis, it has a relatively large development potential and a relatively large surplus labor force. Moreover, it is nearly 1,000 kilometers away from the western region, where the demand for oil products is greater. In addition, as Comrade Ustinova said, it would still be safer to build an oil pipeline on the tundra, but the cost of construction would be higher.

But in the future, these additional costs can be compensated for by reduced transportation costs, as well as savings from lower wages in Tyumen City.

In terms of development potential, geographical location and long-term costs, I think that the proposal of building a large-scale oil refinery facility in Tyumen City and connecting the oil-producing areas with pipelines is more desirable and cost-effective. ”

Ginsburg took his glasses and agreed: "I also think that the scheme of connecting the city of Tyumen is preferable. In line with the plan of the People's Commissariat of Petroleum Workers, the Ministry of Construction will build large-scale oil refining facilities and high-corrosion and high-safety oil pipelines to connect the oil-producing areas. ”

Having heard the decision of the two People's Commissars, Veronica was overjoyed and at the same time proud of the "defeat" of the hero of socialist labor, the "Siberian Tiger" Manturov.

Manturov did not react in particular to this failure, because the development of Novosibirsk has indeed been done very well, the existing refinery facilities are small, the input costs are low, and the lack of pipelines will not cause much to lose.

On the contrary, the metallurgical enterprise that bears its name received a large order for the supply of raw materials for the construction of oil pipelines and refining facilities, which was beneficial for the development of the Novosibirsk region.

Of course, it would be even better if we chose to vigorously develop the oil refining industry in Novosibirsk.

"Comrade Manturov, I have something I want to tell you, I wonder if it is inconvenient for you to stay?" After the meeting, the Minister of Construction of the USSR Ginsburg said such words to Manturov.

Manturov did not have a very good premonition, perhaps the professor's reprimand for himself. But as a courteous person and a local cadre, he could not help but agree to the request of the Minister of Construction.

"Of course it's convenient."

"I know you may not be in a good mood right now, but I have good news for you right now."
