Chapter 660: Chance or Conspiracy
Once completed, Li Zhao will organize some relevant tests to test the performance of each part, if the performance is up to standard, then you can wait for installation. Of course, one of the most important is to test the condition of the boiler, to be honest, the most important equipment that determines the final performance of the generator set is the boiler, if the boiler is not up to standard, everything is in vain.
The most important research project of the power plant using coal for power generation is how to boil water, how to increase the temperature and pressure of steam, and then under this pressure and temperature, if the supply of heat is guaranteed, these need to be well studied.
However, at this time, the leaders have a kind of blind confidence in Li Zhao, listening to Li Zhao said that the test can start in late June, the leader of the mechanical system asked: "Is it possible to complete the construction of the power plant in July, and then conduct the test at the end of July, now the domestic demand for alloy steel is also very much, once we reduce the domestic supply, it will affect the development of the country, and the current good situation is not easy to come by."
However, for this situation, Su's father has more say in this situation, and before the director of the power plant can speak, Su's father first said: "Leader, I'm afraid this won't work, we have such a big construction place there, and we can't send more construction personnel, under normal circumstances, the construction of such power generation facilities will take at least more than a year, and now it is the progress of working overtime to the maximum, and if you stuff people into it, it will only lead to chaos on the site."
Now the construction of the factory is like this, basically the equipment is sufficient, and then as long as the personnel do not affect the construction, as much as possible, but the number of personnel is obviously impossible to be unlimited, after all, the construction space of each project is so large, send enough people to do it, too much will affect the construction. In such a situation, how could Father Su agree to add more people, after all, it is difficult to improve efficiency by adding more people.
Besides, the construction of supporting facilities for 300,000 kilowatt generator sets like a power plant is really difficult, under normal circumstances, the construction period of one year is definitely not long, and now the construction period has reached the level of six or seven months, and it is easy to reduce the construction time, so Su's father will resolutely refuse.
After thinking about it, Li Zhao said, "Can't the leader discuss it with that side and postpone it for three months? You can say that we have only started to produce alloy production equipment now, and the raw material factory also needs to be expanded to supply raw materials and so on, and then there is the need to train workers, etc., and the current situation is considered to be at the limit, and our factory is still carrying out a number of major projects together, and we are under a lot of pressure, for fear that something will happen."
Li Zhao's words are really not alarmist, this is the actual situation at this time, the projects now are forging machine project, turbofan engine project, generator set project, power plant expansion project, farm project, new blast furnace design project, self-propelled artillery project, Li Zhao is still designing aircraft, and the various research institutes in the factory still have hundreds of projects in progress, and some production plants in the factory itself are also expanding and expanding production, so it is really very busy.
In such a situation, the already very tight construction time of the project is still being compressed, and Li Zhao is really afraid of accidents. After all, if you count the construction personnel in the factory and the personnel in the farm, there are at least 780,000 people in the factory now, and it is really not easy to manage so many people well, which is already the population of a city.
And there are only a few managers in the factory, which cannot be compared with a city at all, and they all rely on military patrols to ensure that nothing happens, so Li Zhao is very reluctant to let the leaders further squeeze the factory like this.
Seeing Li Zhao say this, the superiors had no choice but to give up, and could only urge all parts to try their best to do a good job in their own affairs, such as the manufacturers of element accessories, they tried their best to speed up the construction progress, and they also wanted to speed up the breakthrough in technology.
However, as far as the expansion of production is concerned, Li Zhao estimates that by August and September, it will be able to reach an annual output of 7.5 million tons, and the superiors should be very satisfied, and Li Zhao estimates that Da Mao will not chase too hard, after all, with their own reference, who would have thought that our technological progress could be so fast? It's just that next year there may be a request for a supply of four million tons, and of course there may be a question
Question, don't do it directly, then it will be the most uncomfortable time.
Thinking of this, Li Zhao also said: "Leader, I'm afraid of a problem now, that is, if they suddenly don't want it, what should we do, if they don't want it, nearly one-third of our production capacity will be idle, and the domestic demand is now at most more than five million tons, once we reach seven and a half million tons, they suddenly don't want it, and our losses will be great, so we should talk to them about this matter."
Now the plan is 7.5 million tons, once the expansion of production to 8.5 million tons or even higher, they don't want it, then there will be about 30% of the production capacity idle immediately, in that case, it will not be possible to find a buyer in a short period of time, after all, Li Zhao knows that with the passage of time, it is inevitable to part ways with Da Mao.
Li Zhao's words also made everyone's hearts suddenly, it is too possible for this kind of thing, if Da Mao comes to continue to increase the order, such as the order to six million tons, or even eight million tons, and then said that it can provide generator sets, and after we put it into production, they will purchase it for a period of time, and they will come directly, then the 998 factory will be numb.
After all, at least ten to twenty years, it is impossible to digest so much production capacity in China, and the superiors must pay attention to this matter, otherwise once this situation occurs, the consequences will be very serious, after all, it may make billions of investments go down the drain.
At this time, the leader of the military industrial system said: "We will report this possibility to the leaders, in this case, we are afraid that we will have to talk to them about this matter, but the amount of 7.5 million tons should be acceptable, we are now in the third line of construction, once those factories are completed, the demand should increase."
Li Zhao saw that the leader said this, and also smiled bitterly, so he said: "Leader, after the completion of the third-line construction, if we don't have such a high financial income, then the construction will definitely not be carried out on such a large scale as now, you must know that our current financial income, a large batch of order profits from Da Mao, although I don't know how to use this profit for domestic construction now, but I think it is the foreign exchange as a margin, right?"
Li Zhao pointed out the key, now how to look at this is like a trap of Da Mao, at present to meet the order and domestic demand, then it needs to reach the scale of 8.5 million tons, once the other party cancels the order, then the factory will suddenly have 3 million tons of production capacity is vacant, but also will affect the power plant and the element auxiliary material supply plant, but also will lead to a shortage of domestic construction funds, in short, it is a problem.
The meeting is here, it can't go on, the most important thing now is to find the superiors and continue to negotiate with Da Mao, this problem must be solved, and Li Zhao and the others have also left to go about their own affairs. And this matter is destined to be difficult to solve, the reason is also very simple, there is no way to protect this matter at all, the other party has a precedent of tearing up the contract, and no one can guarantee this at this time.
Although Da Mao is now very much in need of the products provided by the 998 factory, but these products are not irreplaceable, they bought so much, the samples are very sufficient, I think these metals have already been in their research projects in various local research institutes, the composition analysis must have been completed, and the atomic arrangement must have been mastered, and now it is estimated that various process tests are carried out to find a way to achieve it.
Although this work is not easy, it is only a matter of time to figure it out, Li Zhao feels that the formula and processing technology of these metals must not be able to bother them for too long, of course, maybe their cost will be higher, but for Da Mao's wasteful behavior, what is the price, people can use titanium alloy to build the existence of submarines as a whole, and they can also raise the cost of submarines to the same level of gold as a country.
However, these things are no longer something that Li Zhao can manage, he can only wait for the results of the negotiations and the final decision of the superiors, and because this matter cannot provide protection at all, it is very likely that this order will be canceled, of course, it may also be solved in other forms, after all, Da Mao is not a bad money, and they may directly bear the construction funds of the 998 factory in order to buy enough metal, so it would be the best.
Of course, this can only be Li Zhao's imagination, for the back
How to solve this matter is not something he can participate in at all, he can only return to the factory and continue to be busy with his affairs, and as time goes by, the progress of various projects in the factory is also gratifying, among which the fastest results are the die forging machine, yes, the die forging machine installation is completed.
After more than five months of installation, on June 5th, the entire installation was basically completed, and with the completion of the installation, the commissioning of the equipment also began, and this commissioning is also a big project.
