If Ma Yuan successfully builds the coking plant in Jinzhou and integrates the existing coking plant in the empire, it will alleviate the current situation in the imperial coke Jinzhou and make the empire's steel output reach a higher level. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Subsequently, Zhang Wei inspected the fertilizer plant, salinization and oil refinery respectively, and finally returned to the large conference room of the municipal government to discuss the construction and technological upgrading of Balikpapan.

The general managers of several large factories spoke in turn.

The director of the fertilizer factory proposed: "Your Majesty, the output of chemical fertilizer in the empire is not high, the market demand is huge, and it will be exported to the Yue Kingdom and the Chinese Empire, but the existing fertilizer production technology content is not high, if the scale continues to expand, and when the fertilizer factories in other cities are established in the future, the economic benefits will inevitably decline; The empire should strengthen the technological upgrading of the fertilizer industry from now on, and expand the varieties of chemical fertilizers, such as urea, potash, phosphate, compound fertilizer, etc., which have better economic benefits. “

Zhang Wei did not speak, but wrote down the question on a piece of paper and motioned for the others to continue speaking, and he was ready to speak last.

The director of the salt plant, that is, the director of the soda ash plant, put forward a suggestion similar to Ma Yuan: "Your Majesty, the price of raw salt produced by the empire is still too high, and the existing salt works of the empire are not suitable for large-scale salt drying, and there is only less than half a year of production period, and the cost is huge. ”

The director of the air separation plant said: "Your Majesty, when the plant was first built, the imperial conditions were poor, and the plant was built in Balikpapan in consideration of energy problems, but the gas transportation is large, and now it seems that there are many constraints; Now that the scale of the power plants in various places has been expanded, and the empire is no longer short of electricity, I propose to relocate the air separation plant to Surabaya City, which is more advantageous in terms of cost and safety. ”

The director of the refinery spoke: "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the refinery is now too small in scale and not very profitable, and it is necessary to expand the scale of production in order to produce better economic benefits, and I propose to add more industrial extension lines, such as cracking and synthesis, to produce products such as plastics and chemical fibers, which are several times more efficient than simple oil refining." At the same time, I propose to develop the oil field in the north of the island and expand the production of oil production plants. ”

Ma Yuan of the coking plant spoke again: "Your Majesty, the upgrading of enterprises should be accompanied by the upgrading of the whole society and technology, it is difficult to improve the technology of a single aspect, for example, the coking plant, if you want to upgrade the technology, the products of the supporting enterprises must also be upgraded, and now the conveyor belt used in the coking plant is of very low quality, which causes a lot of material waste on the one hand, and on the other hand, it also restricts the speed of coal blending and coal filling of the coking plant. ”

The director of the salt chemical plant said: "Director Ma, this is also a good thing, for example, the salt plant needs a lot of chemical reagents, which cannot be purchased in the market at all, and are forced to produce by themselves, and now they can not only meet our own needs, but also obtain great economic benefits after being introduced to the market, and also meet the needs of the society." ”

"Hehe, that's determined by the particularity of your chemical industry, and other industries may not be able to do it." Ma Yuan said: "Your Majesty, my suggestion is that the empire should not completely give some industries to national capital, their technology is not so advanced, such as the natural rubber industry, which plays a vital role in many industries in the empire, but private capital has its limitations after all, so I suggest that the empire establish a large rubber factory." The matter of transporting belts, not only coking plants encounter this situation, such as power plants, steel plants, ports, major mining plants, etc. will be used, although the product is small, but the use is wide, the product quality can not afford to be up, and many industries suffer from it. “

After everyone finished speaking, Zhang Wei said: "In response to everyone's speeches, I will talk about them one by one, the problems raised by the fertilizer plant, the construction of potash fertilizer, phosphate fertilizer and compound fertilizer, which requires relevant mineral resources, there are no production conditions here, the empire's potash fertilizer plant in Yue is under construction, and the potash and phosphate fertilizer plants in Qi and Lu have been put into operation, and the output will gradually increase; And you here, you can only go to the urea production line, but now is not the time, even ordinary ammonia fertilizer has not been popularized, it has not yet met the needs of the empire, the empire does not want to upgrade for the time being, and after each city has built a large ammonia fertilizer plant, the existing fertilizer plant will gradually be upgraded;

The proposal of the salt chemical plant is very good, but it is under construction in Jinzhou, such as large-scale salt drying plants, large-scale power stations, large-scale coal mines, etc., and when these infrastructures are built, they will use the superior resources to build large-scale triacid-two-alkali and many derivative factories;

The suggestion of the director of the air separation plant is very good, this is my mistake, at that time, only energy and supporting issues were considered, and safety and transportation issues were not considered, you can consider whether it is appropriate to relocate or build a branch plant in Surabaya? Then give me a suggestion;

For the oil industry, the empire is not ready to develop too many oil fields at present, there are currently Balikpapan oil fields and Ren'anqiang oil fields, the output of these two oil fields is enough to meet the needs of the empire, and the deep processing of petrochemical products you mentioned will be at least 10 years later, which is related to the decision-making of the empire, and it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being. Okay, what else do you have to suggest? “

After listening to Zhang Wei's words, everyone felt that his words were very reasonable, but except for the director of the coking plant and the director of the air separation plant, everyone else was a little disappointed.

The mayor asked, "Your Majesty, what are your instructions on the next step in the direction of development here?" “

Zhang Wei said: "The positioning of the chemical city can not be changed, now to maintain stability, when the time is right, it is still positioned in the petrochemical city, this is the biggest advantage of the local area, must play well, but not the current, the current does not have such a large market digestion capacity." In addition, the municipal government must put environmental protection in the first place, maintain a beautiful environment, and develop the economy at the expense of the environment. “

"Your Majesty can rest assured that since the founding of the city, since the first mayor, Balikpapan has attached great importance to environmental protection issues, and has made great efforts to control air and water pollution, which is something that the local people are proud of, and the city government will maintain this tradition." The mayor assured.

The Governor of East Kalimantan Province asked: "Your Majesty, does the Empire have a plan for the petrochemical industry, the province will make preparations in advance according to the instructions of the Empire, for example, now the province is increasing the development of Tarakan Port, building a railway from the coal mining area to Tarakan, and in the future, it will increase the amount of coal shipped from Tarakan to reduce the transportation pressure of Balikpapan Port." “

Zhang Wei thought about it for a while and said: "Within 10 years, the empire's demand for oil will increase at a rate of more than 20% per year, and you will arrange the oil extraction and refinery production plan based on this data. After 10 years, even if the empire does not invest more, you will also develop into the largest oil base of the empire, and if the empire reinvests in the chemical fiber industry, then this will become a veritable petrochemical city. “

The mayor said, "Your Majesty, it would be better to add some light industrial factories here, so that it is easier to arrange female workers, and now this place has become a singles' city." “

"You don't have to look for me for this, you can build some factories in industries such as textiles yourself, is it still difficult to arrange female workers? Your local government itself has these rights. Zhang Wei said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, we will make a good plan and add some factories in the light industry in the next step." The mayor assured.

Zhang Wei was satisfied with the work in Balikpapan, and he did not stay long, arranging for the fleet to return to Shangjing on September 26, while he flew to Sulu Province to prepare for the reclamation test.
