Yang Yuanzhao looked back at Zhang Zhaozhong, Zhang Zhaozhong's report continued, one by one, the number of jù was reported in Zhang Zhaozhong's mouth, the results were very good, and it was also very gratifying, Zhang Zhaozhong inevitably said that there was a problem, there were too many rails in Baotou, and some of them exceeded the Cheng dù that Baotou could bear.

From more than 2 months ago, to now, almost more than 70 days, a total of 150,000 tons of steel have been produced, more than half, in accordance with Yang Yuanzhao's requirements, all the production of heavy rail from the United States, of course, this is just Yang Yuanzhao's statement, in fact, this heavy rail, is based on the most advanced heavy rail in the United States, and added some mature things in later generations, such as additives, such as quenching treatment, the final rail is obtained, the weight per meter is as high as 37 kilograms, which is more than in this world, The rails of most mainline railways are much heavier, and the heavy rails and excellent performance allow for the passage of heavier loads.

150,000 tons of steel, the rail occupies about 75,000 tons, converted into more than 2.02 million meters of rail, even if converted into kilometers, there are about 2,020 kilometers, with double-track laying, a total of more than 1,000 kilometers of railway lines can be laid. Before all by the Chinese design and manufacturing, all use the light rail Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, the total length is only more than 200 kilometers, the weight of the rails used is only a fraction of the heavy rail, unconsciously, Baotou has produced more than 1,000 kilometers of rails, almost five times the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, which is a heavy burden for the steel mill.

Rebar, steel plates, steel bars, and special construction steel, which are in short supply for the booming construction industry in Baotou, are produced as soon as they are produced. was pulled away and sold, and the steel mill also created a lot of benefits, according to Yang Yuanzhao, without considering the order, to ensure about 30% of the gross profit. Such a net profit can reach a relatively lucrative Cheng dù, the steel mill, has never been the kind of light industry, can create a relatively large gross profit margin, the net profit margin is also good, the steel mill is a capital and industry intensive enterprise. The sales of itself are not in small batches, take a railway as an example, 1,000 kilometers of railway, will use about 75,000 tons of steel. If you add the ancillary facilities and locomotives, you need more, which in a sense, as long as you sell it, the total profit is very amazing.

The investment in steel mills is huge, and the benefits are not small, especially structural steel and rebar, steel bar. The steel used in this kind of building is large in size, and the consumption is huge. 75,000 tons of steel, almost just produced, was pulled away, a series of key construction in Baotou, steelmaking blast furnaces and steel mills are under construction, the cost of steel is extremely amazing. Many of them did not even come out of the factory area, and they were directly applied to the construction site.

On the one hand, demand outstrips supply. On the one hand, it is piled up, so. Except for a small part, with the help of the construction team, five small rigid tracks of 12 kilometers were built from the mining area to the steel mill, and the rest were basically stacked where, more than 1,000 kilometers of railroad tracks, only used less than 15 of them, and occupied a considerable storage space, and could not create zào benefits, in the future, with the gradual completion of the construction of blast furnaces, the production speed of these rail steel will rise, which is more or less, is a problem.

"Zhang Zhaozhong, I know what you think, but in any steelmaking plant, the rail is a project with high technical content and relatively stable price and profit margin, and we can't give up!" Yang Yuanzhao listened to Zhang Zhaozhong's words and asked calmly.

"But, boss, for the time being, there are no railway plans in China, otherwise, let's move it first, you know, it's about to end the year, and the workers are also counting on this to increase wages!" Zhang Zhaozhong saw that Yang Yuanzhao was still very firm, and tried to say.

Yang Yuanzhao looked at Zhang Zhaozhong with a solemn face, and couldn't help laughing, he came to the steel mill, on the one hand, to see the steel mill, what else can he help, 16 blast furnaces, will be completed gradually in the next half a year, when the time comes, the design of the limit, each blast furnace per day, can complete 18,000 tons of steel, the limit of the annual output will reach 10 million tons, the production of any steel plant, it is impossible to fully achieve the designed annual output, generally seven or eight achievements are relatively high, As long as enough personnel can be guaranteed to complete 7 million tons, there are still not many problems, this is the first stage of the task of the steel plant, 15 points, can be reduced by 15 weeks, this is not a small amount.

To achieve this goal, this requires the continuous efforts of all parties in Baotou, especially the workers, now, for the steelmaking plant, workers have become one of the most important problems restricting the increase in the output of the steelmaking plant, on the current 5 blast furnaces, all play an effect, at least 12,000 people are needed, 1,200 people are two teams, really to improve the operation, 24 hours without stopping, at least 4 groups, four groups of three shifts, equal to each time period, there will be a group of people to rest, In this way, the personnel can be more stable and play a normal role.

Now there are only a few workers in Baotou, less than 6,000, less than half of the total number, and the one who can really be put to use, that is, more than 4,000 people, in this sense, the worker training in Baotou has lagged behind the overall construction, but the steel mill should also be built, which is the unanimous opinion of Yang Yuanzhao and Zhang Zhaozhong.

"The matter of the railway, don't worry, I have basically arranged it, and it is estimated that there will be news soon!" Yang Yuanzhao's expression was a little calm, in fact, before the task appeared on the all-in-one machine, he considered how to lay out the railway, China's biggest problem is traffic, and the best way to solve the traffic is not to build a road, but to build a railway, in the tonnage and running speed of the car, without rising to a certain degree of the premise, the railway can not be replaced, the speed of the railway and the speed of consignment, absolutely huge, is the first choice to solve the traffic problem.

Baotou, along with the operation of various light industry and heavy industry, coupled with hundreds of thousands of huge urban population, the resources needed every day, can definitely be called a massive, several highways through, from a certain Cheng dù above, to solve the traffic bottleneck of the whole Baotou, but with the gradual development of industry, the traffic bottleneck problem, in a certain Cheng dù above, and protruded, at this time, the road and the carriage can no longer solve the problem, two roads, One is to develop large-tonnage trucks suitable for transportation on roads, and the other is to develop railways.

From the heart, Yang Yuanzhao is an internal combustion engine engineer, has been engaged in this profession for a long time, and is familiar with most of the internal combustion engines, at least with the help of the guò all-in-one machine, to study the same truck as later generations, which is not easy, but according to the drawings of the liberation car, it is possible to get it out, and the liberation car at the time of liberation can be regarded as possible. Yang Yuanzhao hesitated in his heart, the car is the strong point, in this case, rashly push the car to the later generations in the forties and fifties, what kind of impact this will cause, this is very difficult to say, maybe it will strengthen the power of the powers, if China wants to rise, it must face the resistance of the powers, in some aspects, they are enemies.

The road is not an option, at least until you have sufficient control power. On the contrary, the railway, as long as the problem of the rail is solved, the train head is imported, this problem can also be solved, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, which is in the case of tight funds and technical conditions, can be built, not to mention that now, the biggest problem of the rail, has been solved, from a certain situation, there is no problem in technology, that is, a chief engineer is needed.

Generally speaking, China's railways are built by foreign engineers, but the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway has created a miracle, Zhan Tianyou, a boy who studied in the United States, with a strong force, in the many difficulties that foreign engineers dare not pack tickets, with excellent creativity and solid foundation, handed in a satisfactory answer, it can be said that it is one of the few railways in China, with leading technology and fast speed, is a light rail, filling the gap in China.

On the way here, Yang Yuanzhao passed the channel of Guò Jin Merchants and contacted Zhan Tianyou, after the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was repaired, Zhan Tianyou was put in an idle position in the Ministry of Communications, Yang Yuanzhao believes that the rich remuneration and the temptation of building a railway can definitely be called a temptation that is difficult to refuse for Zhan Tianyou, a technical talent.

Zhang Zhaozhong's mind was very bright, almost when Yang Yuanzhao said that he had other ideas to make the rails not stop, his eyes lit up, and he asked almost in surprise: "Boss, are you going to build the railway?" ”

Yang Yuanzhao nodded and said, "That's right, it's to build a railway!" ”

"Where?" Zhang Zhaozhong's eyes lit up and asked.

"There will be no shortage of Baiyun Obo, but the first one to penetrate will be from Baotou to Zhangjiakou!"

Zhang Zhaozhong's face was slightly lost, but he didn't say much, as far as the connection between Baotou and all directions is concerned, Zhangjiakou is definitely the key, when the highway was built before, it directly penetrated Taiyuan, the reason is not that Taiyuan is more important, but that Taiyuan is there, there are hundreds of thousands of tons of various machines ordered from abroad, those who rely on ordinary pack horse caravans, to complete the transportation, to the year of the monkey and the month of the horse, in order to transport these things urgently, Baotou to Taiyuan first. Really compared, to Zhangjiakou is much more important, not to mention, Zhangjiakou is the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, Taiyuan is the Zhengtai line, the speed and carrying weight of the two, there are obvious differences, even if it is light rail, the carrying capacity and annual transportation capacity of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, but also on the Zhengtai line, which is also the fundamental reason for choosing this.

"Rest assured, we either don't build, we want to build a big build, Baiyun Obo as the future heavy industry base of Baotou, the railway is definitely a priority, and there is more than one!"

"Really?"

"Really!" Yang Yuanzhao nodded solemnly, he didn't mean to Zhang Zhaozhong alone, but also to himself, I don't know whether the railway expert he had high hopes for in the capital thousands of miles away, the famous Zhan Tianyou in later generations, is willing to continue to work in the railway industry.
