Chapter 360: Radio Dispatch
A few hours, in a peaceful atmosphere, in a flash, Mihai is a very knowledgeable American old man, in addition to the railway, in many aspects, has a very deep understanding, but he met Yang Yuanzhao such a freak, the 21st century and the 20th century, is not a century difference, but a really huge difference, even if Yang Yuanzhao in the 21st century, not the top of the class, but by the whole world consulting era developed, knowledge bombardment, know many fields, In some areas of understanding is more than the 20th century, the more Mihai talks, the more frightened he becomes, Yang Yuanzhao is definitely a super genius, I don't know who cultivated it, if it is coupled with the help of a good family and a large group like the German and American companies, it is no problem to create a miracle in China.
Originally, he was only ready to complete the two-year contract period, but now, under the possibility of creating an era, Mihai has a hope in his heart, as for the national interests, he is now an American, but his native is Russia, coupled with the oppression of the capitalists on him, as long as the government does not explicitly prohibit it, he will let it die.
In the more and more relaxed topic, the journey became much easier, but when he reached the periphery of Baotou, Mihai suddenly stopped talking, in fact, not only him, even his attachés, were standing next to the window, dumbfounded as this huge city that was getting closer and closer in the rapid movement of the train.
That's right, in the traditional sense of Baotou, only the original 50,000 people lived, is a small place of less than a few square kilometers, from 1908, after Yang Yuanzhao arrived in Baotou, Baotou began to surpass the conventional development, steel and cement, bricks, these three have an important impact on the completion of building materials, the establishment of various factories in Baotou, from the original town of tens of thousands of people, suddenly came to millions of people, in just a few years, although not as beautiful and shocking as the super city of later generations, However, it is already a large-scale urban agglomeration, especially with the entry of some architectural concepts and design methods in later generations, Baotou has become more and more beautiful, and it is completely different from China in this era.
From 30 kilometers away, it entered the urban belt, a special building on both sides of the railway, especially into the Baotou Industrial Zone, a huge, obviously industrial creation of things, so that they are used to seeing the American big factories they were shocked, it turned out that Baotou not only established a huge railway network, but also built such a large city.
In the end, the train slowly stopped at Baotou North Station, which is a newly built station, which was designed by Yang Yuanzhao as a large marshalling station, and the freight yard is also an attached equipment.
After the conversation on the train, Mihai didn't say anything more, just looked with his eyes, Mihai went deeper, it took almost 1 week, with the attaché to walk all over Baotou, only to find out the strength of Baotou, a large steel mill of more than 7 million tons, although it seems that the blast furnace is not so big, so dense, but he personally looked at the time of each furnace steel, and even personally looked at the foundry workshop, a little calculation, you can calculate the total output, the design output will only exceed 10.8 million tons, not less.
With such a huge steel plant, half of the annual output is used on the rails, and the powerful rails are produced here, which alone will save a lot of money for the railway company, because it is an internal supply, under the premise of ensuring a certain profit, with Baotou's higher production efficiency and lower wages, the price of Baotou's rails is cheap so that Mihai can't believe it.
The most important thing is that the steel mill signed an agreement with the railway company, the rail is not bought, it is converted into the shares of the railway company according to a certain share, which is not even enjoyed by the Pacific Railroad Company, the rail as a share, converted into the company's shares, although, for investors, will give away a part of the benefits, but faster to get dividends, expand the scale of the railway, is the best way, but the steel plant will be because of this, carrying a heavy burden, even the United States, There wouldn't be a steel mill doing that.
Now the two enterprises are invested by Yang Yuanzhao, the left hand into the right hand, it doesn't matter, I have seen so much, I really understand the strength of Baotou, Baotou has the ability to build a huge, even all over the whole of China, such a huge territory, bigger than the United States, and there are no more powerful competitors, this is an absolute monopoly.
However, in the actual observation, what made Mihai a little speechless was that Baotou actually built three railways at the same time, that is, on the same route, completed three, which in Mihai's view, was a bit wasteful, but after knowing the strength and speed of Baotou's road construction machinery, he didn't say anything, Yang Yuanzhao is really rich and capricious, after having enough funds and rails to support the construction of three railways, building three at the same time is definitely the lowest construction cost and the fastest, It is enough to use the manpower advantages of Baotou, but it is really difficult to decide whether it will be like this in the future.
In addition to watching the strength of Baotou for a week, it is a qiē problem that appeared in Baotou on the spot, 3 days after the inspection, Mihai took out a report, and the expert shot, he knew whether there was any, some things, maybe after the real point was broken, he would find out, why I didn't expect it before, a slight adjustment between them, especially in the layout and scheduling, the interval between each train, from the original 2 hours, has been reduced to about 40 minutes now, which greatly increases the capacity, It is equivalent to increasing the original capacity by more than three times, and the transportation capacity of Baotou has suddenly increased from the original millions of tons to the scale of 10 million tons, which truly exerts the power of heavy-duty rails.
The interval of 40 minutes is slightly worse than that of the United States, but it is already higher than the railway density of most countries in this era, Yang Yuanzhao is a little dissatisfied with this, so that Mihai continues to compress, Mihai is a little embarrassed, because the railway speed of Baotou is faster, so the margin is less, coupled with the run-in and lack of experience in all aspects, for the time being, it can only reach this distance, if the familiarity is higher, Baotou can reach 30 minutes or even 25 minutes, so as to reach and exceed the dense range of the United States. In terms of time, it will take at least 2-3 years.
After 2-3 years, Yang Yuanzhao couldn't afford to wait, and then asked in detail why there must be such a large interval, Yang Yuanzhao decisively put the radio into the railway dispatch, Yang Yuanzhao came from the later generations, never ate pork, and always saw pigs run, although he didn't know much about the signal, the railway schedule and a series of knowledge, but he didn't delay everything he knew, all told Sù Mihai.
Mihai heard that Baotou has a radio transceiver device that can be placed on the train, and even this device can be transmitted through the guò base station, etc., and knows the location more clearly, at least knowing a section, this section is 25 kilometers, which is enough to inspire him, the biggest problem of train scheduling, is how to determine whether he is in the appropriate section, if all the trains are stable, like a machine qì general operation, the train can be arranged one after another, In this respect, the volume of transportation on a railroad is a very staggering journey.
But in fact it is impossible, the more trains, the more events, the more impossible it is to run like this, we must ensure a stable space, to ensure that the trains are in a safe section, this needs to be judged by the dispatcher, usually, only through the guò station, the passing train is recorded, and then released, save zài a timeliness, so as far as possible to expand the safety distance, 40 minutes a shift, the same, only familiar and running, everyone squeezes out the time delayed in the middle, This is how it can be reduced.
Now, there are radios on the train to communicate with the headquarters, so in fact this time has been squeezed to a limit, as for the train to know how to know its location, this is easy to solve, in a special section, set up different signs, a tall pole, there will be different spraying, the use of reflective materials, these can be arranged every 50 meters or 100 meters, so that the driver can use the light of the train, clearly see these signs, and then the train has a telegraph operator, Send these numbers to the headquarters anytime and anywhere, and the headquarters can monitor the actual operation of these trains in real time.
In this way, with this comparison of the actual distance, the dispatching room of the headquarters finds a suitable position according to the actual situation, and then carries out the actual scheduling, so that the distance between the trains is as small as possible.
After Yang Yuanzhao heard it, isn't this the actual system of the train that later generations have seen, if you add a large computer screen and radar perception, isn't it the railway operation map of later generations, of course, compared with the real railway operation map, I don't know how much worse, after all, the railway operation map of later generations, a certain course, is the integration of various technical equipment and technical capabilities, he includes electronic computers, rockers, satellites and laser positioning and many other things, now, a qiē is not convenient, at least in this way, The number of calculations that the headquarters needs to calculate is much more than before, and even the headquarters needs to prepare a group of people to calculate the actual distance and the safe distance, which will more or less delay a certain amount of time, but Mihai also said that with this radio, he even reduced the time interval between trains from the current 40 minutes to 25 minutes under the situation that he is not very familiar with, which is a big step forward, and even surpasses the current interval between trains of the Pacific Railroad.
