First of all, I will explain to you what is light industry and heavy industry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Light industry refers to the industry that mainly provides consumer goods, usually refers to the textile industry, or the processing industry, which is a secondary industry, the grain processing industry, the oil industry, the sugar industry, the cigarette industry, the tea industry, and the brewing industry all belong to the light industry, compared with the heavy industry, the light industry is not large, the distribution is relatively scattered, but there is a certain degree of concentration.

Heavy industry refers to the industry that provides the main means of production for all sectors of the national economy, including the iron and steel industry, metallurgical industry, machinery, energy (electricity, petroleum, coal, natural gas, etc.), chemistry, materials science and other industries, and is the basic industry that provides technical equipment, power and raw materials for all sectors of the national economy. The scale of development and the technological level of a country's heavy industry are important indicators of its national strength.

It is also crucial that the development of light industry requires a large number of machinery and equipment, which are provided by heavy industry.

Compared with light industry, the importance of heavy industry is self-evident, so Yan Xueyi allows cooperation with the private sector to establish light industry factories, but in a short period of time, he will never let the private sector participate in the construction of heavy industry.

The foundation of heavy industry is not it, only the word "steel", the development of heavy industry and even light industry are inseparable from steel, the construction of railways, the construction of factories, the casting of various machinery and equipment, all need to use a large amount of steel, especially now the whole province of the province is waiting to be revived, to vigorously develop light industry and heavy industry under the premise, steel is indispensable.

In 1884, the Yuanhe Iron and Steel Plant was fully operational, with an annual output of 200,000 tons of steel.

In the First Five-Year Plan, Yan Xueyi needs the annual steel output of Siqi Province to reach more than 1 million tons.

That is to say, in 1889, the annual steel output of the four provinces should reach more than 1 million tons, while the United States produced 3 million tons of steel, Britain produced 3.4 million tons of steel, Germany produced 2 million tons of steel, and France produced 520,000 tons of steel.

The relatively terrifying figure of making the annual steel output of Siqi Province reach 1 million tons in 1889 can be achieved for some Western countries, but if a province of the Manchu Qing Dynasty reaches this output, no one who will surely hear the news will believe it, isn't it a joke? The backward Manchu Qing was able to produce so much steel?

However, after ten years of development, Yan Xueyi has a certain degree of certainty that this plan can be realized.

Let the annual steel output of Siqi Province reach 1 million tons in 1889, not to let the Yuanhe Iron and Steel Plant reach this output by itself, that is unrealistic, the iron ore in the area near Yuanhe City is not enough to supply a steel mill with an annual output of one million tons of steel, at the beginning Yan Xueyi calculated that the steel output limit of the Yuanhe Iron and Steel Plant is 300,000 tons, beyond this limit, the iron ore near Yuanhe City will be quickly consumed.

You must know that this iron mine near Yuanhe City is only a branch of a large iron mine, with reserves of less than 10 million tons, if the iron ore here is dug up, then it can only be mined from a farther place to transport iron ore to Yuanhe City, and the cost of steelmaking has increased a lot, it is better to choose another place with rich iron ore resources, and then build a large steel plant, so as to save a lot of trouble.

In this way, a large number of skilled workers will be trained in ten years, coupled with steelmaking technology that is far more advanced than that of the West, and the goal of producing one million tons of steel per year in Siqi Province will be achievable in five years.

In fact, the development of Siqi Province will use less than one million tons of steel a year, and at most 500,000 tons of steel is enough, so why should the steel output reach one million tons?

The reason is very simple, Yan Xueyi's goal has never been to put on a small four, his ultimate goal is to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty to unify the country, the annual output of one million tons of steel is only insignificant for the huge China, and after the end of the First Five-Year Plan, it is when Yan Xueyi launches a new round of expansion, if the whole country is unified, the annual output of 10 million tons of steel is not enough.

With enough steel, more machinery and equipment can be manufactured, which will speed up the development of light industry.

Machinery and equipment are mainly made of machine tools, at present there are three machine tool factories in Yuanhe City, the first machine tool factory is responsible for manufacturing various machine tools, the second machine tool factory and the third machine tool factory are responsible for manufacturing other machinery and equipment.

In the First Five-Year Plan, the scale of the first machine tool factory will continue to be tripled to meet the needs of the four provinces for machine tools, the second machine tool factory and the third machine tool factory will also be expanded, and at the same time, three machine tool factories will be established elsewhere to produce and manufacture various machinery and equipment to meet the needs of the industrial development of the four provinces.

Only a machine tool factory of sufficient scale can produce enough machinery and equipment, all kinds of light industry factories in the province are about to bloom everywhere need machinery and equipment, the province will be in a tight supply and demand situation of machinery and equipment for a period of time in the future, perhaps until the end of the four-year plan, in order to be improved.

Machinery and equipment are important to the industry that is about to explode, and there is another thing that is also very important to the industry, and that is electricity.

The power generation industry is also a kind of heavy industry, and there are two types of power generation industry: thermal power generation and hydroelectric power, but the main power generation is thermal power generation.

Electricity is very important, not only because it can bring light to people in the dark, but also because electricity is closely related to industrial development.

The first industrial revolution of mankind was from the 60s of the 18th century to the middle of the 19th century, when mankind entered the age of steam, and industry began to explode.

The second industrial revolution was from the second half of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, when mankind entered the electric age, and industry exploded again.

Yan Xueyi did not catch up with the first industrial revolution, after all, there was no Yan Xueyi at that time, but the second industrial revolution could not be pulled down, but had to be ahead of this era.

In the First Five-Year Plan, a number of thermal power stations and hydroelectric power stations should be built in various parts of the province, and at the same time, a power network should be established throughout the province, and at least every town in the province should be connected to the power network, so as to finally meet the needs of industrial development and people's lives in the province.

In fact, after the Gan clan officially obtained the right to rule the province, they began to lay the power network, almost at the same time as the cable telegraph line, hoping to be able to lay the power network to all parts of the province in the shortest possible time, but the power network is much more troublesome than the cable telegraph network, and it cannot be completed in a short time.
