Yang Yuanzhao said so, Zhan Tianyou couldn't help but hold back, no matter what, the guest followed the host, sat in the carriage together, several luxury carriages rushed out, at this time it was already more than 6 o'clock in the evening, on the side of the street, the street lights had been lit up, so that the dark night became as famous as day, Zhan Tianyou saw it in his eyes, and did not say much, for him, Baotou seems to be a miracle place, there are miracles everywhere, take this street lamp as an example, I am afraid in his memory, That is, on the banks of the Huangpu River in Shanghai, where the concession is dense.

The carriage rode the horse, not too high, just calmly moved forward, and came to a Cantonese restaurant. Cantonese hotel, although Zhan Tianyou is a native of Huizhou, but born in Guangzhou, after the gradual development of industry and commerce in Baotou, especially hundreds of thousands of workers gathered here, the tertiary industry is very developed, hotels are everywhere, especially some characteristics, luxury hotels, catering culture and dinner table meetings, has always been the characteristics of the Chinese, specifically inquired about Zhan Tianyou's origin, it was introduced into the most famous Cantonese hotel in Baotou.

After the reception and dinner, Zhan Tianyou was introduced to the Shanxi Hall, at this time the Shanxi Hall, after several rounds of expansion, is already the most luxurious hotel in Baotou, covering an area of more than 1,000 acres, mainly based on garden landscape, a large number of small houses similar to villas, the highest is the three buildings in front, 11 floors high, it can be said to be unique in Baotou, it is a standard landmark building, but it has not been completely completed, it is under intense construction, once completed, it is definitely a landmark building, It will make the reception capacity of Shanxi Hall to a higher level.

Baotou, with more than a year, almost two years ago, has been significantly different, industrial and mining, especially the development of various light industries, almost every moment, there are a large number of products come out, every day to Baotou, the purchase of all kinds of goods of merchants, almost like the carp across the river, incomparable, but also led to the development of Baotou's hotel industry and catering industry.

In the Shanxi Guild Hall, Zhan Tianyou was introduced into a building full of European style, he has always received a Western-style education, and later studied in the United States, and finally returned to China, Yang Yuanzhao thought twice before introducing him into it, Zhan Tianyou didn't look at these buildings at all, and asked straight to the point: "Mr. Yang, what about the steel rails you said?" ”

"Rails!" Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help but laugh dumbly, he didn't expect that after Zhan Tianyou came, the first thing was not to ask anything else, but to ask the rails, no wonder, Zhan Tianyou was not so focused on work and the railway, he could not have achieved such huge achievements in later generations, fortunately, it was already ready, not much to say, Zhan Tianyou was introduced into a small room next to him, turned on the electric light, 4 identical rails, neatly placed here, the standard rail is 12 meters, of course there will not be 12 meters in it, that is too long, And it's also very inconvenient to take it in, only a neat 2 meters, cut off from a whole steel rail.

Zhan Tianyou is a technical official, the most concerned is technology, especially the rail, which is related to the overall situation of the entire railway construction, the rail can not be solved, nothing needs to be said, three steps into two steps forward, want to pick it up, one hand force, actually can't pick it up, Zhan Tianyou was stunned, you know, although nearly fifty years old, but Zhan Tianyou's body, no worse than some young people, about 50 pounds of things, one hand should be able to pick up, the rail is really heavy enough, it should be a heavy rail, and another hand, Unfortunately, it feels extremely heavy, obviously, this is definitely not a 12 kg light rail, or even more than a 25 kg ordinary heavy rail.

Seeing Zhan Tianyou's attempts again and again, Yang Yuanzhao couldn't help but smile and said: "Mr. Zhan, don't try, this is a heavy rail, a heavy rail of 37 kilograms per meter!" ”

37 kilograms of one meter, two meters is 78 kilograms, more than 150 kilograms of things, not ordinary people can move up, it has long been estimated that this is a heavy rail, but the number of 37 kilograms, or Zhan Tianyou was slightly surprised, you know, the current mainstream heavy rail, but it has reached 30 kilograms up and down, to be exact, more than 25 kilograms can barely be called heavy rail, twice as heavy as the light rail, 37 kilograms, almost twice as heavy as the light rail, if his indicators are not low to a certain extent, The annual mileage and transportation capacity can definitely be said to be amazing, and even the introduction of foreign advanced locomotives can run at a speed of more than 60 kilometers per hour, or even 70 or 80 kilometers, it is absolutely no problem.

Speed represents efficiency, speed represents money, which is also recognized by countries around the world, China, even if it is half a step slower, but gradually recognized, especially in the developed areas of the southeast coast, the reason why the railway will be valued, is that he can run 24 hours a day, and do not need to change horses and others, whether it is travel, transportation, almost faster than the traditional caravan, the load is also very huge.

But from the speed of about 30 kilometers per hour, to 60 kilometers per hour, the efficiency is absolutely amazing, conservatively speaking, once this rail is used, through the Beijing-Baozhou Railway, 600 kilometers of distance, can be reduced to less than 12 hours, morning and evening, this means that thousands of miles is no longer the end of the world, but the real close, for a huge empire, it is definitely a big killer.

The development of the East and the West of the United States is extremely uneven, the West is developing rapidly, and the East is extremely lagging behind except for a few cities close to the Pacific Ocean, and it is the Pacific Railway, which was built by relying on the flesh and blood of Chinese workers, when it is really connected, it connects the big killer of the east and west coasts, which makes the development of the United States balanced, and the United States has gained huge benefits because of this. Pacific Railway, what does it rely on, it is such a heavy-rail trunk railway, it has been begging for it all the time, Zhan Tianyou was very excited, and leaned down directly to see the fracture.

I don't know what it was cut, the fracture is very smooth, it has not been polished, it must be on the top, this is what Zhan Tianyou really wants, a surface treatment, quenching, and even polished rails, very durable, it seems, there is no change, if you don't use it, you can't know all aspects of his performance, only the fracture, the inside of the steel can't deceive people, just on this, you can see the quality of the rails.

Lying on the fracture, but no matter how Zhan Tianyou looks, he can't see any bubbles, using American technology, and it is a steel blast furnace built under the guidance of Williams's real room, and the formula is determined several times by the all-in-one machine, which is the final recognized thing, maybe the worker is not a skilled worker, with the first two points, it is enough to gain a foothold, the two major problems of bubbles and unevenness, all of them do not exist, and the quenching of the outer surface is also quite perfect. It can bring the performance of the rail itself to the extreme.

Looking, touching, knocking, touching, a few were done, Zhan Tianyou's face showed an extremely satisfied smile, and said: "Very good, this rail is of very good quality, I don't know how much!" ”

"How much, how much, how much!" Yang Yuanzhao said calmly, the steel plant 2 months of production, the production of about 1000 kilometers of rails, but the steel plant is constantly put into operation, although there are certain problems in the workers, can face the whole world, spare no effort to recruit workers, as well as the training of Baotou's huge technical school, the training speed of workers will be faster and faster, the steel plant is the most important place in Baotou, according to a blast furnace of 1,200 people, the future must train more than 20,000 workers, therefore, the output of the rail will gradually rise, This month it will be more than 600 km, next month, it will even reach 800 km, and eventually, it will climb to 1,600 or even 2,000 km.

How much do you want, Zhan Tianyou originally thought that this 37 kilograms of heavy rail was imported from the United States, in his opinion, in the whole world, only the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, the three countries, France on the rail, are a little worse, I didn't expect that how much to do, the heavy rail, in any country, is a resource that controls zhì, and it is possible to export in small quantities, but it is absolutely impossible to export in large quantities without a cap.

Thinking of Yang Shixun's words before, he asked tentatively: "This is produced in the northwest?" ”

"That's right, it's produced in the northwest, to be exact, these four were all produced yesterday and shipped over today." Yang Yuanzhao nodded and said.

Yesterday's production, Yang Yuanzhao's words seemed to have some kind of magic, and Zhan Tianyou couldn't believe it, but Zhan Tianyou still looked at it for a long time, and finally said: "However, I haven't seen the steel mill in Baotou!" ”

"Who said that the steel plant is in Baotou."

"The steel mill is not in Baotou?"

"That's right, not in Baotou! Baotou has no coal and no iron, how can it be possible to produce these things, besides, Baotou, which I am planning, is a super big city, and the steel plant is placed here, which is too wasteful! ”

Zhan Tianyou looked at Yang Yuanzhao with blazing eyes, and said word by word: "Where is that." ”

"Not far to the north, a hundred kilometers away!"

A few simple words, but Zhan Tianyou, who was staring at Yang Yuanzhao's eyes, did not see fluctuations in Yang Yuanzhao's eyes at all, a calm, as if talking about a steel plant, that is, a strange thing, it is such an attitude that makes Zhan Tianyou somewhat convinced, Northwest, really has the ability to build a steel plant, and this steel plant can also produce qualified steel rails.

If it weren't for the fact that it was already late at night, he would even want to go to the steel mill on the spot.

"Okay, Mr. Zhan, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it when I get to the steel mill tomorrow, it's late, you can rest first, don't bother!" After Yang Yuanzhao finished speaking, he got up and retreated, Zhan Tianyou looked at Yang Yuanzhao's back, and didn't say a word, Baotou really has steel rails, these are all produced in Baotou, and it seems that in his consciousness, the railway plan against the sky is not so difficult to implement.
