Baotou in March, the cold wind is biting, the weather is not completely warm, the frozen soil has shown signs of melting, two huge highway construction projects, almost at the same time, one is the highway plan from Baotou to Zhangjiakou, when the goods from overseas come, do not have to pass Guò Shanghai, directly from Tianjin Port to get off the ship, and then pass Guò Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway to Zhangjiakou, transfer the road, with the design speed of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, the efficiency will be much higher than the Pinghan Railway to the Zhengtai line, the traffic capacity is also much higher.

The Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, under the design of Zhan Tianyou, China's most outstanding railway engineer, was built, no longer dogmatically according to the construction of the railway in the past, and even cut corners in order to save money, and made use of the existing conditions as much as possible, taking care of the science and technology of this era, and making the fastest railway.

The design speed of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, in the country, can be said to be the highest, most of the sections, the highest speed, can reach 50 kilometers per hour, the average speed can exceed 30 kilometers per hour, in this case, from the Beijing-Zhangjiakou railway, from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, than the Zhengtai line at least increased by about 50, the speed represents efficiency, directly from Beijing to Zhangjiakou, and then through Guò Zhangjiakou to Baotou here, directly through the Guò highway, than from Shanghai water transport, transfer to Pinghan Railway, and then turn to Zhengtai line, There will be a lot of time to spare.

The construction of the two highways began almost at the same time, starting from the thawing of the frozen soil, Qian Hu and others went up to the construction site, hundreds of various construction machinery, also on the road one by one, and the tense road repair movement began.

Compared with before, there are some differences, and some construction machinery has been modified to a certain extent. For Baotou, the strength of machining, far stronger than a few months ago, much stronger, from Germany and the United States, the introduction of a large number of engineers, these mechanical engineers, for the entire industry and machinery vision, will not be much stronger than Yang Yuanzhao's strength, but in the small details, especially professional, it is easy to check and fill the gaps.

Over the past few months, tractors, bulldozers, rollers and even cranes have been modernized and at least 30 percent more efficient. Machinery represents efficiency, represents faster processing speed, starting from thawing, divided into two parts, among them, the highway from Baotou to Zhangjiakou, a certain distance dù above, is the most eye-catching.

At the end of last year, the highway in Zhangjiakou was proposed to be completed before leading to Taiyuan, but unfortunately this certain distance is the most popular highway, and it has not been built, and Taiyuan has piled up tens of thousands of tons of goods, which is related to the industrial upgrading of Baotou.

Zhangjiakou, the east port, is closer to Beijing, from the Mongolian side, and Zhangjiakou between the connection, a little closer, this highway through, not only Baotou's industrial products, to Hebei, Zhili, and even the Northeast will be easier, Zhangjiakou's fur and other products, will also be easier to pass through the Guò highway and various ports, transported to the vicinity of Zhangjiakou.

The momentum of the project, from March officially kicked off, a winter of rest in Baotou, re-ushered in a vibrant, most of the population, are recruited, or in the reclamation company, or, in the highway company, the rest, basically are networked to the weaving, last year a prosperous year, so that most people are clear, as long as you work hard, follow Master Yang, follow the reclamation company, will get enough income, hard-working people, for higher income, in the struggle.

Countless machinery, began to be in Baotou to Zhangjiakou, is Baotou to Baiyun Obo busy, Zhangjiakou highway, in a certain Cheng dù above, again fell behind, although it is built at the same time, whether it is the input of machinery, or the input of manpower, are not comparable with Baotou to Baiyun Obo.

It can't be said that this highway is not important, the key is that the highway of Baiyun Obo is more important, the investment of 30 million, even in the case of increasing investment in Baotou, is also a huge investment, several shareholders have taken out 12 million funds, Yang Yuanzhao took out 15 million, others are not enough shares, and they are also mortgaged by each family, taken out by Yang Yuanzhao, 30 million funds, amazing in a month or two, it is completely in place, such a fast speed, Thanks to this time, Baotou thrived business.

Cash is king, in the era of 1908 is the same, 30 million cash, not invested in Baotou in one fell swoop, only 10 million of them directly invested, but the effect is obvious, Wei Ming directly took out hundreds of thousands of funds, expanded the brick and tile factory, in the past almost a year, Wei Ming's brick and tile factory, has expanded more than 4 times, the monthly production capacity, from the beginning of hundreds of thousands, to the current close to 3 million, long-term accumulation of funds, this opportunity, Completely burst out, more than 200,000 funds, suddenly made the number of monthly production of bricks, from 3 million, directly jumped to 12 million Cheng dù, greatly supported the Baotou factory, as well as the use of the newly built Baiyun Obo Industrial Base.

The steel mill is only 20 blast furnaces of different sizes, but the supporting facilities, various processing workshops, cold rolling and hot rolling and the like, do not have high requirements for the plant, but on nearly 1,000 acres of land, so many factories have been built, and the number of bricks consumed can almost be calculated by tens of millions, or even tens of millions.

Not only the brick and tile factory, even if it is a cement factory, it has also been stimulated, itself, the cement plant, is the first enterprise built by Yang Yuanzhao in Baotou, the first cement plant, just focus on the quantity, increase investment, build higher lime kilns and cement kilns, with the help of not difficult technical level, produce more, more huge quantities of cement, has always been the direction of the construction of the cement plant, when the output of cement reached a daily production capacity of 10,000 barrels, that is, 3,000 tons, the annual production capacity of more than one million, This is the undisputed first in China, and in the whole world, it is also a huge cement plant.

By this time, the output of the cement plant began to stagnate, and some people may think that the cement plant naturally reached a certain limit or bottleneck, which is normal for most industries in China. For Yang Yuanzhao, this is not normal, you know, pure pile capacity, for Yang Yuanzhao, who has an all-in-one machine, for Baotou, which has a lot of labor costs, is not a very difficult thing, as long as Yang Yuanzhao thinks, when a large number of production capacity and equipment to the cement plant to expand, a certain amount of dù above, more than 10 million is unlikely, over 5 million, should be expected.

Yang Yuanzhao did not do this, but in the internal digging potential, Li Mingsheng is a good researcher, over the years, the cultivation of literacy, so that he for many cement industries, have a deeper understanding, he even under the guidance of Yang Yuanzhao, began the research of cement formula, with more new products, instead of backward products.

Cement formula, is nothing more than to look at the cement, the strength after condensation, in the special environment, for example, in the acidic and alkaline environment, the adaptation to the natural environment, as well as, the speed of coagulation, the characteristics of special operating conditions, and so on, Yang Yuanzhao of course can not directly get out of the future generations of fine cement, that even in the later generations, it is a few large enterprises, even the world's enterprises will do, he only knows, in the cement, add a certain amount of iron ore powder, There are other minerals that will have a considerable impact on cement.

When the cement production capacity broke through the million tons, under Yang Yuanzhao's construction, Li Mingsheng put most of his energy and time, are put in the development of new products, at the beginning, took a period of detours, almost continuously scrapped dozens of kilns, Li Mingsheng is absolutely terrified, you know, with the current price of cement, the cement produced by a kiln, can definitely be called extremely valuable, hundreds of yuan is to have, dozens of kilns, almost thousands, or even tens of thousands.

In Li Mingsheng's heart, from a certain Cheng dù, it is still the old thinking of China, staying in the era of the workshop, not to mention deliberately wasting dozens of kilns of the proprietor, even if it is a kiln, it is a little unbelievable.

At that time, Yang Yuanzhao was going all out on the steel project, but when he looked at the report casually, he knew that Li Mingsheng stopped to study, specially called him aside, and after inquiring about some information, he immediately allocated 50,000 funds, and came to get it casually, ten times if it was unsuccessful, and a hundred times if it was unsuccessful, in short, don't be afraid of waste, this is a necessary technical investment.

Such support, so that Li Mingsheng burst out of a passion, in a month in a row, large and small carried out 210 times of real yàn, countless waste kilns, but continuous investment, or let him find two good products, one is faster coagulation speed, can be at least twice the speed of ordinary cement coagulation speed of quick-setting cement, the other is high-strength, the strength is at least 3 times higher than ordinary cement.

From last winter to the present, Li Mingsheng has modified the existing machine with the support of Yang Yuanzhao, increased the automation of the process, and also reduced the proportion of ordinary cement from the original level to about 30, the reason why it is not reduced to the lowest is because ordinary cement is easy to produce, and easy to scale, a certain degree above the dù, is indispensable for the ordinary process, as for the quick-setting cement and high-strength cement, The price is a little higher, but the effect is better and the profit margin is higher, which will become a fist product of cement value.

Similar things happened not only in the cement and brick factories, which are very closely related to infrastructure construction, but also in many industries in Baotou, and the whole of Baotou, because of this huge investment, the whole of the excitement has become up, and new factories or shops are opening every day.
