And the really difficult things, but the essence of things, such as from critical to supercritical, and even to ultra-supercritical, these are the most difficult, and the development of 350,000 or even 400,000 kilowatts, just continue to amplify, such equipment is actually essentially no different, there will be no essential difference in energy saving, for Li Zhao wants to greatly reduce the price of electricity, it does not play a role at all.

In fact, in this era, one of the major reasons for restricting the use of electrical appliances is the price of electricity, many people can afford to buy electrical appliances, but really use them, they may not be able to afford to use them at all, just like electric fans, the most common in this era is the ceiling fan, the price is 120 yuan, after ordering the motor from the 998 factory, the price has been reduced, down to about 100 yuan, and a lot can be bought, but the electricity bill has dissuaded many people.

A ceiling fan power of 100 watts, two kilowatts of electricity a day and a night in summer, four cents, a month is 12 yuan, up to a lot of people half a month's salary, in this case, a few more electrical appliances, the monthly electricity bill will be dozens of yuan, there are really few households, but if the electricity bill drops to the current three percent, every month is only three yuan six, then there will be a lot of people who can use it, after all, the original electricity price is really too high.

You must know that if ultra-supercritical can be realized, then due to the reduction of coal consumption, the cost of electricity will be directly reduced by more than 60%, and only in this way will it bring vitality to the electrical market. Only ultra-supercritical is really advanced equipment, and what is being produced now is just the foundation, after all, for Li Zhao, such equipment is just piled up with high-quality metal.

Listening to Li Zhao's words, the leader of the Ministry of Machinery said: "Then we will wait for your good news, we estimate that the negotiations will continue for a period of time, and at the same time try to delay the increase in delivery for a period of time, and you will also speed up the production capacity reserves, this is a big business after all, although the income is relatively small, but increase the order of more than one million tons, we can bring more than one or two billion dollars of financial revenue to the country every year."

One or two tens of billions is a huge amount of money, which is really a lot of money for this era, you must know that all the third-line construction has been carried out for 15 years, and the total investment is only 210 billion, and the 998 factory is now able to bring six or seven billion financial revenue to the country every year, that is, as long as this business can be done for three years, the money for the third-line construction will be earned, but Li Zhao does not know how long this export can last.

Now the relationship between the two sides is cooperation, but the differences are slowly getting bigger after entering this year, which is why Li Zhao suspects that this procurement is a trap. After all, the current situation has forced the 998 factory to expand its production capacity to more than 8 million tons, and if the business with Da Mao cannot continue, then the demand will plummet to a little more than 5 million tons, and with the reduction of fiscal revenue, then the state investment will also be greatly reduced, from the current annual more than 100 billion yuan, directly reduced to 450 billion yuan, a reduction of more than half.

In this case, the impact will be very huge, may further reduce the demand for alloy steel, in this case, the demand for alloy steel may drop directly to only about four million tons, in that case, half of the alloy steel production capacity in the factory will have to be shut down, so the impact is too great. ….

Thinking that Li Zhao also told his leaders about his thoughts, these ideas are not alarmist, but very likely to appear, after all, Li Zhao is just a factory here, but he can't influence the thoughts of his superiors. In the end, Li Zhao said: "So we have to prepare accordingly, it will have a huge impact on our construction in the future, and we don't want to come up with a good way to deal with it, once they really cancel all orders, it will be difficult for us to do it."

The leaders were also a little worried at this time, but the initiative in this matter was not in their hands, so they could only sigh, and then said: "We also understand this situation, but we don't have any good ways now, and with our current situation, it is difficult to open up new markets, and the most important thing is that even if we open up the market now, we have no production capacity to provide it anymore."

When Li Zhao heard this, he suddenly thought that if he wanted to break the situation, he would have to rely on Lou Dong, and he couldn't just export to Da Mao, he had to find new customers, and he could export less at the beginning, such as

Guo Damao canceled the cooperation, then it is best to find someone to take over, otherwise this matter is really difficult to do, thinking of this, Li Zhao said: "It is estimated that we really need to open up the market outward, and we can't have only one customer, otherwise it is really difficult to do."

Father Su also nodded at this time and said: "Yes, it just so happens that Lou Dong is going out to find customers recently, let him find relevant customers to see, the advance order can be less, as long as the market is opened, this can be regarded as a way out, but it is estimated that there will be no effect in the short term, and I don't know if I can eat Da Mao's share."

The leader of the mechanical department also said at this time: "That's the only way, I also said hello to the export management department, except for the steel for Da Mao's submarine, everything else can be added, let them try."

Li Zhao nodded in agreement, and then the leader continued: "This matter can only be like this for the time being, let's see if we can make money for a few years, the most important thing now is the order of the die forging machine, we have also looked at the production situation, with the current production speed, it is estimated that it can produce fifty or sixty parts per day, right?"

Li Zhao replied at this time: "Fifty or sixty parts are a lot, if it is a large part, it will be less, if you need to change the mold from time to time, it will be less, after all, this equipment is not developed for the production of general parts, such as the accessories of the generator set produced today, which are not qualified for general equipment processing."

At this time, the leader said: "I was going to find more work for you, but looking at this production speed, plus the share of heavy equipment production in your own factory, you can only complete some orders such as aircraft factories and important equipment, after all, the processing speed is only so fast."

At this time, Father Su and the others all looked at Li Zhao, waiting for Li Zhao's decision, and Li Zhao understood this matter, and Li Zhao also said: "Yes, this equipment itself exists for the processing of important parts, and the general parts are estimated to be sold at a price of not enough for processing costs, only the most important handful of parts have the value of using die forging machines to process, after all, every time this equipment moves, it is burning money, and processing that is too low in value will only lose money." ….

What needs to be processed in the factory, in addition to the equipment, in fact, there is one thing, that is, artillery, Li Zhao is going to try it with a die forging machine to see how much impact it has on the quality of artillery, Li Zhao has no research on weapon production at all, but the performance of the die forging machine is here, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of improvement in the use of the die forging machine to process the gun embryo, but these need to be known through future tests, and Li Zhao cannot jump to conclusions.

After all, with the processing here, the performance of many parts can obviously be greatly improved, but it is true that as Li Zhao said, the value is low and there is no need, and the most important thing is that the processing capacity is only so large, and it is good to arrange it.

After chatting for a while, the leader left, and Li Zhao also said to Su's father: "Don't care about anything else, let's see what needs to be used in our factory, first of all, it is heavy equipment processing, some are not good at free forging, you can consider putting it here, and at the same time, at the military factory, their gun embryos can be processed here first to see if there will be any progress in performance, if there is a heavy artillery or the like, it can be processed here."

Li Zhao's idea is very simple, that is, to see if the pressure resistance of the gun has been improved after a die forging machine, and if it is improved, then obviously the service life and the performance of the gun can be improved. Just like a 125 mm gun with a tail stabilized shell armor-piercing projectile, the penetration depth is only 800 mm, but if the chamber pressure can continue to be increased, then it is obvious that the gun will be able to eject the chamber faster, and the armor-piercing ability will be stronger.

Now this penetration is a bit stretched, after all, there is no shadow of depleted uranium armor-piercing shells now, and this kind of shell is radioactive, who knows whether it is safe or not, in the case of not being able to clarify the toxicity, Li Zhao still prefers conventional warheads. In this case, for the possibility of trying to improve the performance of the artillery, of course, he wants to let the military factory try it, if it can be improved, then the benefits will be great.

You must know that the military expenditure in this era is very limited, if the service life of the artillery can be improved, it will also save military spending to a large extent, just like tank guns, if they are used frequently, then in tanks

During the time of service, it is clear that the barrel needs to be replaced. And the service life of the gun has increased, so it is obvious that the frequency of barrel replacement can be reduced, thereby reducing the cost of use, you must know that this high-performance gun is very expensive.

Father Su also nodded at this time, expressed understanding, and said: "I will mention this matter when I go to the military factory for a meeting next, I think they are also looking forward to this matter, if the service life of the 155mm howitzer can be increased to more than 2,000 rounds, it is estimated that the cost of use can be reduced by half, which will save a lot of money."
