Chapter 315: Designing a Locomotive

Zhan Tianyou finally went with some doubts, to the construction of the railway, to do the final surveying and mapping, when he went out, Yang Yuanzhao even sent a tractor, with a tractor to help Zhan Tianyou, quickly on the 1500 kilometers or so of the route, walk around, look at the general environment, as for more detailed and comprehensive exploration, but also wait for some foreign experts and some personnel invited by Zhan Tianyou to arrive, before it can be rolled out on a large scale.

This kind of professionalism and dedication shows the rigor of such an engineer as Zhan Tianyou, and the road map and preliminary measurement results given by Yang Yuanzhao are professional and accurate enough, but as the leader of the railway, he must go through it in person, so that he can rest assured that the construction, any slightest problem, need to be thought of in advance, and make a certain plan.

After seeing Zhan Tianyou leave, Yang Yuanzhao first went to Zhangjiakou, for the construction of the railway, he already had a certain idea in his heart, a train locomotive is indispensable, at the very least, the front of the locomotive and the transmission below, the back can be dragged along, or multiple cars connected together, to leave a place for the machine.

In this era, perhaps the transformation of such a steam locomotive is technically very difficult, some in front of the all-in-one machine, it is not a problem at all, Yang Yuanzhao did not stay in Zhangjiakou for a long time, and copied the train traction locomotive in Zhangjiakou, these are the old train locomotives imported from Belgium, the speed is not fast, and the horsepower is not enough.

The engine is Yang Yuanzhao's strong point, and the same is true for the train locomotive, such a steam engine. As early as when the power plant was built, it had been thoroughly studied, and the old locomotive in Belgium used the technology of 20 years ago, and these technologies had no problem at all in front of Yang Yuanzhao. With a slight change, the core of the steam locomotive was replaced with a steam engine carefully prepared by him, which increased the horsepower of the locomotive by 3 times, which is an improvement for the overall locomotive. It's terrible, the power of the locomotive is all on the traction and speed, maybe there will be a problem immediately, the speed is not increased by a certain order of magnitude, the impact on the overall material will be increased by an order of magnitude.

Any one of the machines. Improving one aspect alone will not have an effect, but will lead to disaster, higher speeds, for mechanical parts and wheels, and even the structure of the car body, will bring a huge impact force, which requires constant research and adjustment. With the help of an all-in-one machine, the process will be quick, but it won't take months. Absolutely not.

Yang Yuanzhao didn't plan to get a locomotive out now, in the future, when Baotou has a real railway, the introduction and development of locomotives is also one of the important aspects, a certain way. He would even push for the production of locomotives, which are also a fairly important aspect of railway operations. And it's expensive, and now I'm just trying to get a road construction machine. Therefore, the horsepower provided by the locomotive is only about the same as before, which is provided to the power for the locomotive to drive, and the rest is almost placed on the driving force, which is used to push the transmission and traction device separately.

After producing a lot of advanced steam engine traction machines, Baotou has not hit the world's strongest Cheng dù in terms of steam engine power conversion, but it is not bad, at least with the help of many engineers and researchers, most of the horsepower will be converted into normal power, what Yang Yuanzhao needs to do is to release a certain power shaft interface.

A railway road construction machine with 42 kilograms per meter of steel rails and heavy cement prefabricated sleepers as the main construction direction, the power required is very huge, in terms of a 12-meter-long steel rail, more than 500 kilograms of weight, this weight, in later generations, China even has a 4000-ton crane under the premise, is nothing, but for this era, even the crane is only a prototype, the crane and gantry crane these things have not been thoroughly applied, even as the bottom of the crane, In an era when trucks did not appear, such a weight is definitely a bit heavy.

Ordinary workers can only use simple tools, in most cases, or use manpower, so the efficiency is not high, the cost is also huge, taking the most famous Pacific Railroad in the United States as an example, the bones of countless Chinese, created this railway that has a huge influence on the United States, a long, even harsh conditions of the railway, do not use suitable mechanical tools, just with simple lifting equipment and workers shoulder carry, the construction is extremely difficult, the mortality rate is also high, Unless ruthlessly heaped with human life.

Yang Yuanzhao, who crossed from later generations, has been in control of Baotou for so long, in terms of mentality, different from the past, a few people died, and he could not be moved, but he wanted to lay the railway with human life, he would rather not, Baotou's development is inseparable from countless manpower, Baoken company is easy to establish a reputation, and it cannot be thrown away lightly, and the double measurement of speed and safety, the railway machine is indispensable.

In Yang Yuanzhao's impression, the train is laid as the carrier of the rails, and the rails need to be raised from the back carriage to the front, and the stable dìng can be fixed, and the mechanical parts required in the middle are very simple, and even with the research and development capabilities of the current research institute in Baotou, when the task was promulgated in the institute, in just one and a half days, a large number of mechanical transmission devices were completed.

Among the five-level all-in-one machine, there are still many deficiencies, the length of about 8 meters, enough to verify the modification of some machinery, with drawings, as well as the advantages of hydraulics, there is no electric drive, you can choose to use mechanical control zhì transmission shaft to drive, so that you can barely make the rail installation machine mentioned by Zhan Tianyou, even if it is only a preliminary design, this machine has far exceeded ordinary manpower in various functions.

A corner of Baotou Industrial Zone, there is a huge workshop here, which is different from the warehouse where Qian Hu and others were before, here is a part of the machine factory, which is the core factory of Yang Yuanzhao to promote automobiles and internal combustion engines in the future, perhaps in a few years, after Baotou has enough strength, it will promote the development of internal combustion engines and automobiles, but because of various concerns, it has not been opened, as the future, after the steel plant and the machine factory, Baotou's main promotion project, the future may even be China's world-leading project, Yang Yuanzhao built a factory for it in advance, and even enough land for No. 6.

Now there is no trace of the internal combustion engine and the automobile factory, and here we first ushered in a road construction machine, a machine specially designed for road construction.

The huge factory building, using the standards of later generations, up to 24 meters of the plant, with three 8-meter-long synthetic steel joints, with steel structure zuò structure, light and strong, provides a huge space for the factory, and at this time, in the empty factory, only Yang Yuanzhao alone, others, has long been used by him under the pretext of studying things, sent aside, this is his habit, since last year when he took out the tractor, that's it, the people around have long been accustomed to it, strange and strange, but will not find the reason, Yang Yuanzhao was also happy to be free and did not explain.

The all-in-one machine can synthesize 8 meters in length, width and height, a train locomotive, especially the steam locomotive, has already exceeded eight meters, and behind, there is a carriage specially placed for the rails, this carriage is more than 13 meters, just enough to put down 12 meters of rails, because of the current bearing capacity of the heavy rails, the whole carriage, the number of heavy rails that can be accommodated is not much, only 50, these heavy rails plus other transmission machinery and the carriage itself, the overall weight of more than 40 tons.

The 40-ton carriage, in this era, can definitely be called a heavyweight, of course, with the later generations, the total weight of more than 100 tons of trains can not be compared at all, the technical gap is definitely not a year or two, can be smoothed.

Direct synthesis is impossible, there are countless previous synthesis and assembly experience, Yang Yuanzhao can synthesize in the synthesis room, and then take it to the hall to assemble, barely complete the whole, in the all-in-one machine, you can use the mysterious role of the all-in-one machine, install each component in the right position, otherwise, a full of hundreds of tons of three carriages, relying on Yang Yuanzhao's body, even if it is much stronger than the body of the later generations, it is impossible to install it in a few days.

On the empty factory building, under the control of Yang Yuanzhao's all-in-one machine, about 100 meters of railroad tracks were laid, and sleepers were placed in the specified position, because it was just a simulated process, and a large number of roadbeds were not laid like the real railway, but on the surface of the cement, it was very stable.

After arranging all of these all the way, Yang Yuanzhao was silently communicating with Ding Dong, and with a loud bang, a huge locomotive first appeared on the railroad tracks of the factory dozens of meters, and then the second and third sections, Yang Yuanzhao looked at the threads, and didn't know how in his heart, thinking that this was also a big killer, really in danger, leaving a locomotive or something heavy in the hall, and smashing whoever died.

sighed and thought too far, now Yang Yuanzhao can be regarded as having a certain status and net worth, it is really time for him to do it himself, it is estimated that the family business will be almost defeated, if it is really at that time, it is better to run away in advance, relying on the strength of the all-in-one machine and the resources all over the world, it is still possible to mix a big rich.

Looking at the arranged things, Yang Yuanzhao turned around and went out, this thing is not destined to be a real thing that one person can complete, fortunately, Baotou is now different from the beginning of the year, but also different from last year, huge economic strength and spare no effort to absorb, Baotou is like a sponge, absorbing talents from all over the country, including not only a lot of machinery, processing workers and technicians, but also train-related personnel.
