Chapter 178: Father and Son (Double Monthly Pass, Ask for a Monthly Pass)

"Toot ......"

The train running on the railway line, although the whistle sounded, but the front of the train was not filled with the smoke of ordinary trains, and it seemed to be a train that "did not smoke" - a train pulled by the most advanced diesel locomotives.

Diesel locomotive!

The reason why it has not been widely used is very simple, first, because the stations in the northeast do not have the ability to store and transport liquid fuel, and second, because the oil field production in the South China is still limited, and oil production is far from replacing coal. It is precisely because of these two reasons that this advanced diesel locomotive has not yet been widely used.

However, it has not been widely used, which does not mean that it still stays on the test ground, because it will not be "smokey" when it operates, and in order to show that the Governor's Office attaches great importance to "new technology", so the Governor's special train is convenient for the first time to adopt this advanced, even experimental diesel locomotive.

In fact, in the past many years, the Governor's Office has been the first to apply many new technologies, more precisely, as the Governor of Northeast China, Tang Haoran has always been supportive of new technologies, and it is thanks to Tang Haoran's support that Northeast China will show a completely different development from other countries - it first entered the "electric age", and even compared with Germany and the United States and other countries in Northeast China, it went farther and faster.

Steam turbines, hydropower stations, machine tools powered by independent motors, automobiles, internal combustion engines and other cutting-edge technologies have been used more widely than ever in Northeast China, so much so that many observers use the "extreme language" of "Northeast China equals economic control and electrification" to describe everything here.

But this may seem extreme. However, it also revealed a fact -- the Northeast has not only seized the opportunity of a new round of industrial revolution. It even faintly became one of the leaders of this industrial revolution. This seemingly inconspicuous diesel locomotive is a symbol of something, except for the diesel locomotive that pulls the train, the special train is composed of 16 blue carriages, which leave Dalian Central Station in the early hours of the morning and then travel all the way north along the railway.

Although it has just entered the early winter, the first snow has already fallen in the Tohoku region, and because the color of the carriages blends with the snow, the iron bridge and the plains, this train has become the most distinctive scenery on the snowfield.

After the train passes. It is the beginning of winter in the plains of southern Liaoning, but on the plains under the winter snow, it is the season when new greenery begins to sprout - here is the northernmost part of the winter wheat area of the three eastern provinces, and the green of the wheat seedlings emerging from the snow is very conspicuous in the snow. In the midst of the speckled green and snow, the blue special train runs in the middle of it, forming a beautiful scenery.

Along the way, the train, which uses an internal combustion engine, does not need to stop at the station to refuel with coal and water, as in the past, but it still occasionally stops at the station. Or connect a telegraph line to a train, or make a phone call. It is not like adding coal and water as in the past. This is also the convenience of diesel locomotives, in fact, it is through the operation of tens of thousands of kilometers per year that railway companies and locomotive manufacturers have collected a large number of test data for the development of a new generation of diesel locomotives.

After the train entered Anshan Station, it slowly stopped, and after stopping at a platform, the staff on the platform immediately began to get busy, and when they were busy connecting the telegraph line to the train, on the platform, several employees of the railway company immediately realized that this was a special train of Dashuai when they saw the train. Everything that followed became extremely natural, and everyone stood on the platform in a line, except for the platform staff who had work, and bowed to the special train.

And in the extremely luxuriously decorated carriage, a boy of about six years old, but blinked like jewels to look at this railway station, but the railway station in front of him made him feel extremely disappointed, for the boy who embarked on the journey for the first time, along the way, he saw one after another railway station, although for him who has never been out, all this feels very fresh, but the railway station he has seen, none of them is comparable to the central railway station of Dalian, whether it is the scale or the building, and even some railway stations seem, even more humble to the extreme, a little disappointed boy, in the end, still turned his eyes to the carriage.

Putting down the English fairy tale book in his hand, he jumped down from the soft seat of the sofa, stepped on the thick carpet with his feet on the side, and looked to the side, only to see his father lying on the desk with the lamp on, where he was flipping through the documents, and then he sat on the carpet very casually, and glanced at his father with some disappointment, as if he was very dissatisfied with this "adventure".

Originally, he was full of too much curiosity about this trip, after all, since he was a child, he almost never left Dalian, and originally he was full of expectations for this trip, but who would have thought that after being excited, he found that all this was not as good as he imagined.

"What? Feeling bored, isn't it? ā€

After dealing with the affairs at hand, Tang Haoran looked at his son who was sitting on the carpet playing with toys, and there was a slight smile on his face. It was the first time he had taken his son on a "trip".

"Well, it's boring!"

Not only is it very boring, it is simply extremely boring, Tang Yixuan even regrets why he pestered his father and had to travel with his father.

"Well, we're in ...... right now"

glanced out the car window and saw that his son was a little disappointed, so Tang Haoran temporarily decided to adjust his plan.

"Anshan, how is it, Yixuan, do you want to go to the mine to see! There are a lot of machines out there that you've never seen before! ā€

"Machine! Okay, okay, Dad, where's the machine? Let's hurry up! ā€

Obviously, almost every boy is full of curiosity about the machine, and he has no resistance, so Tang Yixuan naturally will not refuse.

In the early morning, the whole city of Anshan was shrouded in smoke, with a smell of soot unique to industrial cities, and Tang Yixuan, who was sitting in the car, opened his eyes wider, staring at the city outside the window, and watching the small train full of iron ore that rumbled by.

Everything about this city is so different from Dalian. In the distance. The tall chimneys were spewing smoke. The smoke even blocked out the sunlight, giving it a cloudy feeling.

"Dad, is this the steel city in the Northeast?"

Steel City!

It's Ansan's nickname, and it's so named because it produces as much steel as Incheon and Benxi combined, and soon, with the new blast furnace coming into service, it will leave Incheon far behind. In fact, now that Incheon has fulfilled its original mission as an industrial base, it is inevitable that it will be replaced by the enterprises of Northeast China.

Of course, unlike Incheon Iron and Steel to provide high-quality shipbuilding steel and Benxi to provide high-quality low-phosphorus steel for guns, Anshan is more about the production of ordinary steel because of the quality of iron ore, but these ordinary steels are the most widely used - for example, modern buildings and road and bridge buildings in Northeast China are inseparable from ordinary steel, and of course, the machinery manufacturing industry is also inseparable from a large number of ordinary steel.

"That's right, in the future, this will also be China's steel city!"

Four years ago, under the personal guidance of Tang Haoran. The School of Metallurgy of Northeastern University has made substantial breakthroughs in the beneficiation technology and sinter cluster technology of low-grade iron ore, which is why it is precisely because of this. After solving this core technical problem, Anshan Iron and Steel will officially establish the project, and Incheon Iron and Steel Company's equipment is completely dependent on imports when it was built, and Benxi Iron and Steel is different from the small domestic equipment, Anshan Iron and Steel's No. 1 blast furnace is a large blast furnace with an annual output of 300,000 tons, and the No. 3 blast furnace under construction is a large blast furnace with an annual output of 600,000 tons equivalent to the sum of No. 1 and No. 2 blast furnaces.

More importantly, the two blast furnaces are designed and manufactured by Beiyang Metallurgical Industry Company, and most of the equipment is provided by enterprises in Northeast China, in other words, after ten years of efforts, now Beiyang Metallurgy not only has the world's first-class metallurgical technology, but also can design and manufacture the world's first-class metallurgical equipment. Although in this process, Tang Haoran gave too much technical guidance, but to be able to make a breakthrough in such a short period of time, but far beyond the world's expectations, even beyond Tang Haoran's expectations, after all, in his opinion, the steel industry in the Northeast needs at least 20 years, it is possible to get rid of the foreign "crutch", and now, at most, it is just the accumulation of experience, sometimes the road is too fast, and it is not necessarily a good thing. But on the other hand, this kind of progress always makes Tang Haoran's heart faintly proud, because he has created a completely different era from history.

From a distance, the entire steel plant was shrouded in smoke and clouds, and the flames spit out from the blast furnace mouth in the smoke formed a piece of clouds, standing in the open-pit iron mine of Dagushan, looking at the steel city shrouded in smoke under the mountain, Tang Yixuan couldn't help but be stunned.

For him, it was the first time he had looked at a city at such an angle that the picture in front of him was immediately engraved in his mind, and in the child's imagination, the blast furnace was like a giant's arm, spitting fireworks, and the coking plant was like a giant's belly......

Looking at his son beside him, Tang Haoran, who squatted down, looked at Anshan under the mountain from the perspective of his son, his son's surprise made his face as a father reveal a trace of pride, everything here was created by him, it was he who created everything on this land, in another time and space, China at this time is suffering the most humiliating scene in history, and in this time and space, it is with his efforts that China is ushering in a new golden age.

"Yixuan, you see this is our steel city, a few years ago, this was still a wasteland, this iron mine, and it was just a barren mountain, but now you see ......"

Pointing around, Tang Haoran said in a triumphant tone.

"Now it's a steel city, and by the end of the year, it's going to produce more steel than the entire Russian ......"

Inadvertently, Tang Haoran mentioned Russia again, recently, he always thinks of this country and the war between him, after all, the future war is not only related to the fortunes of the country, but also to what kind of country he can leave to his son.

As a father, people are always selfish, and even Tang Haoran himself didn't realize how selfish he was now, he was just like millions of fathers, hoping to leave the best for his son, and now everything he created was the "gift" he gave to his son.

"Perhaps, in more than ten years, tens of millions of tons of steel will be produced here, not impossible!"

No one knows better than Tang Haoran that for this country with a huge population base, once its market is fully stimulated to its potential, it will not only show amazing productivity, but also show amazing market demand, and even now, the productivity and market shown in the Northeast are enough to shock the world.

"Hmmm! Sure to surpass foreigners! ā€

Although it is not clear why his father mentioned Russia, Tang Yixuan still nodded heavily to agree with his father's point of view, in fact, for him who is only six years old, he may not know the future of Russia, but he vaguely understands a truth, only surpassing foreigners is the best.

In the following hours, Tang Haoran, who took his son with him, would always explain to his son the equipment in the open-pit iron mine, and Tang Yixuan, like any boy, was full of curiosity about those industrial machines full of mechanical power.

"Dad, what's that?"

"That's an electric shovel, only China has an electric shovel in the world, and now the steam shovel used by Western countries ......"

Just as Tang Haoran was explaining to his son the electric shovel, a unique industrial machine, an attendant in civilian clothes hurriedly walked over.

"Marshal, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is in an emergency!"

Took the telegram from the hand of the attendant officer, looked at the content of the telegram Tang Haoran couldn't speak for a long time, when his father was silent, at least for a moment, Tang Yixuan felt that his father's mood seemed to be a little low, although he was young, he was sensitive to the fact that something big might have happened.

"Dad, otherwise, let's go back......"

Tang Haoran was stunned by his son's suggestion, he casually returned the telegram to the attendant officer beside him, squeezed out a smile on his face again, touched his son's head and said with a smile.

"It's okay, we've got to ...... there"

Tang Haoran, who was determined to continue to accompany his son, couldn't help but glance towards the north when he said this, but let out a long sigh in his throat...... (To be continued.) )
