Now there is no good way to quickly improve the standard of living, after all, the foundation of the country is there, and it will take a very long time to quickly change the face of the country, which is poor and white, just say that the railway is built, the railway mileage in this era is 37,000 kilometers, and how much will it be in 60 years? 150,000 km, yes 150,000 km.

How much does it cost to reach this mileage? Measured by the value of this era, two-way railways, from 37,000 kilometers to 150,000 kilometers, need to be repaired 113,000 kilometers, if according to the electrified railway to repair, the cost of one kilometer is not less than 1 million, note that this is only a railway, excluding tunnels, bridges, etc., just this railway, it will be no less than 100 billion, if you count bridges, tunnels, etc., it is absolutely astronomical.

And how much money does the state invest in railway construction every year? Li Zhao believes that the time to reach 150,000 kilometers can certainly be reduced a lot, but it is obviously impossible to build a railway to 150,000 kilometers in the less than 21 st century.

It takes too long in the middle, without decades of persistent investment, it is impossible to reach the level of 60 years later, even if the farm is developed, if you want to reach the living standard after 60 years, it will take at least 20 or 30 years, first of all, food, without so many years of development, it is difficult to achieve such a rich degree, and secondly, medical and health care and electrical appliances, etc., all need a lot of time.

Just like the amount of electricity generated, the current national power generation is less than 70 billion kWh per year, how much will it be in 60 years? More than 8 trillion kWh, which is more than 100 times the current power generation, it takes about 900 million kilowatts to install another 900 million kilowatts to achieve this power generation, in terms of the generators produced in the factory, more than 3,000 units need to be installed, and how many generators can the factory produce every year? There are really very few, and these are things that need to be developed slowly in the future.

However, there is a big gap with the future at the same time, now the country is also developing rapidly, such as building railways, if there is no extra hundreds of billions of financial revenue, now the railway can only be repaired at most 1,000 kilometers per year, no way, too expensive, after all, thousands of kilometers, but also a billion, of course, this era is not an electrified railway, it will be cheaper, but it is impossible to repair more, and now, at least two or three thousand kilometers.

Talking about the completion of the site, Li Zhao's life has returned to normal, and he is busy experimenting every day, but in April, Deputy Director An convened a meeting of personnel, yes, the steel plant he is now in charge of has made significant progress, and he is ready to convene a meeting of personnel, and then discuss it, so as to determine the construction plan of the steel plant.

Soon the personnel arrived at the conference room of the rolling mill, which is where Deputy Director An usually works, that is, where Li Zhao first went to work, although he is the supervisor here, but he did not move into Director Yang's office, but left the office over there, and Li Zhao's office has not been occupied, and it is still the same as it was, but the main information in it has been transferred.

There are just a few unimportant things left here, as well as a little daily necessities, but there is a safe in this office, but Deputy Director An will lock some very important documents in it, which is considered to be his use.

Soon, everyone came to the conference room, there are not many people who came today, first of all, the people who are not from the factory, the leader of the mechanical system came over, the construction of a large steel plant, of course he needs to be present, followed by the people of the design institute, they will design the plant according to the exploration results, and the rest is the people in the factory, and the leadership is Su Fu, Li Zhao and several leaders of the steel side, they know more about the actual operation.

Then there is the institute, all the people related to the project, a total of thirty or forty people, first of all, of course, the leader spoke, mainly about the significance of the project and the current situation and future of the steel industry, after speaking, the right to speak at the meeting was handed over to the deputy director of An, whether Su Father or Li Zhao did not care about the opportunity to speak, after all, their prestige in the factory is very high, basically no one is unconvinced.

This is very normal, you must know that the entire factory is under the leadership of Su's father, from a factory that started with the production of metal materials, to now such a behemoth, managing millions of people, this is no longer as simple as a factory, such a situation

Next, there is really no one who disagrees with Father Su.

Not to mention Li Zhao, how many projects does he have on the surface now? Among these projects, taking out three or two things is enough for a person to eat for a lifetime, not to mention that Li Zhao still has many projects that people don't know, if all of them are exposed, Li Zhao will definitely be called a demon, which is not something that people can achieve at all.

Deputy Director An quickly said that the first thing is the location of the factory, which at the beginning most people wanted to choose the north of Jinmen, which is close to the iron ore mining area, which can save a certain amount of transportation costs, but this was directly rejected by Li Zhao, they don't know, Li Zhao still doesn't know, how close it should be to the earthquake area in ten years.

Of course, the reason given by Li Zhao is also reasonable, the first is that it is relatively close to Jinmen and Beijing, and the development of two large cities in the future is bound to be more obstructive, of course, there are also selected in the northeast corner, Li Zhao gave the reason that it is best not to pass through the urban area of Jinmen, and finally placed it in the south of Jinmen under Li Zhao's suggestion, and it is to try to go south, of course, the place chosen, not far from the seaside, to facilitate the construction of the wharf in the future.

Of course, Li Zhaoxuan has objections here, after all, you don't let coal pass through the city, and this iron ore doesn't pass through, right? For this reason, Li Zhao also came up with a reason, that is, iron ore will reach the steel mill by sea, so as to avoid the traffic congestion of big cities, and leave enough space for the development of big cities.

As for how far it is, hehe, the place painted by Li Zhao almost went out of the boundary of Jinmen, and then there was a field trip by Deputy Director An, and now the investigation is over, and the geology has also completed the exploration, and now it is time to prepare to come up with a construction plan, but for this place, Li Zhao is still not satisfied, the reason is very simple, it is too close to the earthquake area, only one hundred and twenty kilometers, and the other is that it is relatively close to the sea, Li Zhao is afraid of a tsunami.

If there is nothing to obstruct, the breakwater will be repaired, which is also easier to operate, and the reason is very simple, that is, the steel mill needs to build its own wharf when the time comes, but the breakwater will be repaired farther away, and no one should say anything.

After introducing the address, Deputy Director An began to talk about the area of the factory, good guy, the area given is much larger than Li Zhao imagined, Li Zhao originally thought that it would be very big to give one or twenty square kilometers, but he didn't expect that Jinmen directly gave an area of more than fifty square kilometers, which is no longer smaller than the total area of the 998 factory.

For this area, Li Zhao doesn't know what to say, this is almost seventy or eighty thousand acres of land, and now only a blast furnace is going to be built, given such a large area, it can't be wasted, right? After all, it is foreseeable that in the next ten years, there may not be any big opportunities for development, and it would be good to ensure the normal start of construction, but it will only depend on the situation at that time.

And this construction time will be relatively long, after all, this is 5,000 square meters, when building, the difficulty is completely different from 3,000 square meters, 1,000 square meters in this era, basically fight a little, it can be completed in one year, and 3,000 square meters can also be completed in about two years, but this 5,000 square meters, Li Zhao estimates that it will take three to five years.

Yes, it will take three to five years, and this is still a relatively normal situation, if the construction is stopped next year because of messy reasons, it is very possible, in that case, ten or eight years may not be completed, for this situation, Li Zhao also dare not guarantee, after all, in history, in six or six years, the output of steel was 15.32 million tons, and in six or seven years, it was directly reduced by one-third, and in six or eight years, it was reduced to nine million tons.

It was not restored until the 70s, and then it went all the way up, if there is an accident, then it is very likely that the construction will be directly dismounted every year after tomorrow, and then after the 70s, the construction can be resumed, and then it is estimated that it will take at least three to five years to complete, that is, it is very likely that the project will be delayed until 76 years.

Thinking about it, I feel that this project is really bumpy, but even if it is bumpy, it must be built, after all, in case, if the superior attaches great importance to this project, and then does not stop work, then it is very likely to be completed in 70 years, after all, if it is completed early, it can test the performance of the blast furnace as soon as possible, and give it over

To come to the construction is fully prepared.

The next is to introduce the design of the plant, but also fully consider the future development, according to the design, the plant has set aside at least six blast furnace locations, but also can build the corresponding converter, rolling, alloy steel production and other projects, after all, the plant is really large, more than 50 square kilometers of place, how to toss is enough, even if so many blast furnaces are built, the rest of the place, can continue to build large machinery factories.
