Chapter 157 Locomotive Factory

(Second update! Please vote for me!)

In the vast wilderness at the foot of Yuntai Mountain, technicians are surveying a huge factory area. The rumbling steam bulldozers are spitting out steam, constantly flattening the mounds of soil and filling the ravines. In the distance, there is a busy and tense construction site. , thousands of workers are working intensively like hard-working worker ants. Not far away, the frame of the factory building is lifted slowly into the air by a crane, or is rotating in the air, and is hit by the air rivet gun on the roof of the factory building. In the middle, fiery red steel flowers were splashing in all directions, and the sound of "dong, dong" air nail guns echoed in the air.

"This is the motorcycle factory?"

Almost as soon as he entered the factory area, Yuan Kewen was stunned by the scene in front of him. He had never seen such a huge modern factory and the busy scene. He was almost instantly attracted by the roaring machines and the busy construction. He was impressed by the scene, and Chen Xiangyun, who was standing next to him, was also surprised and speechless for a long time. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have been able to imagine that this construction scene would be in China.

Even in Japan, he had never seen such a grand construction scene, and the huge factory area in front of him was on Chinese soil. A locomotive spitting smoke roared into the factory area in the distance, and in the On the truck bed behind the locomotive, you can clearly see the huge mechanical equipment components.

"Yes, the factory covers an area of ​​1.8 million square meters and is the largest motorcycle manufacturing factory in Asia. After it is fully put into operation, it will have the annual production capacity of 600 locomotives of various types and the repair and transformation of 200 locomotives. It will not only be able to produce and satisfy China's Various types of locomotives are in demand, and the remaining production capacity can also be exported abroad.”

Yu Kemin introduced the motorcycle factory to Yuan Kewen. The company attached great importance to the visit of President Yuan Da's son to Lianyun and specially arranged for him to visit these factories. Of course, Yu Kemin understood the company's intention of making such an arrangement. It was just to use him to Lianyungang's achievements in the past year have reached the ears of the president, making him understand that whether it is Liuhe or Longhai, they just want to build industry.

"Exporting abroad?"

Yuan Kewen couldn't help but be stunned and looked at the manager of the motorcycle factory in surprise. This idea was too...

Chen Xiangyun looked at Yu Kemin with the same surprise. China exported motorcycles to foreign countries. Apart from anything else, this ambition alone was probably rare in China.

"That's right, we have now started trial production of motorcycles. Mr. Hanyun, please come over here."

In the No. 1 workshop of the assembly department of the motorcycle manufacturing plant, hundreds of workers are busy working in the simple factory building. The workers are wielding sledgehammers or rivet guns to install rivets. The red rivets draw a line in the air as the workers swing. There was a red light, and in the semi-enclosed compartment of the steam locomotive, the fire tubes were installed under the rotation of the workers. The sparks of electric welding illuminated the dim compartment. The wrenches on the assembly line kept working. Tightening the wrench... At this time, the first locomotive manufactured in Lianyungang is being assembled.

In this busy workshop, apart from the busy scenery in front of him, Yuan Kewen unexpectedly saw several foreigners surrounding a Chinese man by the door in the middle of the workshop, and that man seemed to be much younger than himself. The young man was looking at the drawings at this time, only looking at the age and appearance of the man. Yuan Kewen suddenly realized that this man might be...

"Mr. Hanyun, that's our Chairman Li. He himself also participated in the design of the KF-1 locomotive."

Li Zhiyuan

"...There are no technical problems, and the use of precious materials is reduced as much as possible in the design. This not only reduces the manufacturing cost, but also reduces the difficulty of manufacturing, and at the same time reduces the requirements for the technical level of workers.

…”

Henry introduced the manufacturing issues to Li Zhiyuan. As a motorcycle designer, he was shocked when he first came into contact with the design drawings of the KF-1 locomotive. This was an unprecedented design.

, at least a brand-new design understanding, and he would never doubt that it was a foreign design, because the design of this locomotive is completely based on the actual situation of the Lianyungang Locomotive Manufacturing Factory.

To a certain extent, this kind of locomotive is somewhat similar to the German BR18 steam locomotive. The two even share some parts. However, compared to the BR18 locomotive, the KF-1 locomotive has a simpler structure. Perhaps they are based on the BR18 type.

The kf-1 locomotive was designed based on the locomotive, but it saved manufacturing hours, lowered the technical level requirements for workers and reduced the use of precious metals.

"So, with the current production capacity of the locomotive manufacturing plant, how many locomotives and carriages can we produce per year?"

As soon as Li Zicheng asked about production capacity, he was most concerned about it. He had no doubts about the quality and design of the "kf-1" steam locomotive.

The drawings used by the kf-1 locomotive are those of the German "war locomotive" BR52 locomotive during World War II, and the BR52 locomotive was the German "war locomotive" during World War II, and the war locomotive was Germany's wartime characteristics and the shortage of materials.

Under such circumstances, a locomotive is designed that can be mass-produced and easily repaired under harsh maintenance conditions. It can be mass-produced quickly and cheaply, and the BR52 is the most successful and famous among the "war locomotives".

The locomotive is also the simplest and most efficient locomotive.

Perhaps, as a war locomotive, the BR52 sacrificed a certain amount of fuel cost, but it was far ahead of this era in technology. The so-called "sacrifice of fuel cost" is actually compared with the locomotives more than 20 years later. As for now,

, in fact, it does not consume more fuel than steam locomotives in other countries.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Yu Kemin walking towards him and the person following him. Zhang Wenzheng couldn't help but was stunned. That person should be Mr. Yuan. This was too much of a coincidence. He quickly walked up behind the chairman.

Said softly.

"Chairman, Mr. Yuan is here"

"Master Yuan? I understand."

Walking in front of Li Zhiyuan, Yuan Kewen greeted the junior respectfully.

"Nephew Kewen has met Uncle Li"

Yuan Kewen's Ju was halfway through, and Li Zicheng quickly helped him.

"Kevin, look at you, you're too polite. I'll excuse you. You and I are not much different in age, but..."

But Yuan Kewen persisted.

"Although Li Shunian is young, as one is his father's brother and the other is a great scholar today, it is only right for Ke Wen to hold him as a junior, not to mention... Uncle Li also had a life-saving grace for Ke Wen."

"Look at you...hey"

Li Zicheng let go of Yuan Kewen's arm and sighed. His "nephew" was too polite, but it suited him.

"Uncle Li, this steam locomotive..."

Before Yuan Kewen had finished asking, Li Zicheng proudly introduced kf-1 to Mr. Yuan.

"The kf-1 steam locomotive is a 2-10-0 axle freight steam locomotive independently designed by Lianyungang Locomotive Manufacturing Factory. This locomotive is designed with a low axle load, which makes it extremely high

It is versatile and can be widely used on various main lines or branch lines... The most advanced technology is used in the design. Although it draws on the strengths of British, German and American locomotives, it also has its own characteristics in design ideas and design theory.

In the design, by improving the structure of the boiler and hearth and the arrangement of large and small smoke tubes, and using e-type superheat tubes and double steam valves, the evaporation, heat transfer and superheating areas are expanded without increasing the size of the boiler.

, improve the thermal efficiency of the boiler. Use high-strength alloy steel firebox plate to increase the boiler steam pressure to 1.6 MPa, so the power of the locomotive is larger, ensuring fast starting, long-term operation and Dora fast running... guide wheel

The dual-axle bogie with the slave wheel can also ensure the safety of the locomotive and smoothly pass through small radius curves, so the locomotive can travel on China's railway lines with low construction standards... In addition, in the locomotive performance evaluation, weight distribution method

, there are also innovations and improvements in the design of the turbine valve mechanism, traction calculation and other aspects. It can be said without hesitation that the kf-1 locomotive is the most advanced locomotive in the world. The kf-1 locomotive currently manufactured is a freight transport

type, but we are preparing to develop a passenger type based on the kf-1 and eventually develop it into a passenger and cargo locomotive."

Looking at the 60-year-old steam locomotive, Yuan Keding was completely impressed by the introduction.

"Uncle Li, please tell me, how many vehicles can the company produce per year now?"

"About 90 vehicles can be manufactured this year, but..."

After a pause, Li Zicheng looked at Yuan Keding. At this time, his expression was full of...well, admiration. Maybe...KF-1 will be built soon, but if you want to make big money, you still have to do it.

This motorcycle might be sold, maybe... so he said.

"The Longhai Railway cannot use so many locomotives for the time being, and... you also know that our relationship with the Ministry of Transportation is not deep, so we can only place our hope on export sales. We are preparing to export this kind of locomotives to Russia. Among the powerful railway countries

It is the only country in China that needs to import large quantities of locomotives, so there should be some sales there. Of course, if possible, we will also export to other countries. Hanyun, in the future when kf locomotives are running on railways in foreign countries

, is enough for the world to feel the changes in China from one side, and to feel that China is becoming prosperous and strong step by step."

His narration only made Yuan Keding calm down and turn around to look at his "uncle" standing there. At this moment, Chen Xiangyun bowed deeply to Li Zicheng.

"Mr. Li, until today, Xiangyun only knows that China... "Empty talk will harm the country, but hard work will rejuvenate the country." Mr. Li's words are sincere. Those who want to learn daily and practice virtues, in fact, just come to Lianyungang and they will learn everything.

knew"

Thinking of the people he had seen over the years, Chen Xiangyun just sighed in his heart.

"Mr. Li, if you don't give up..."...
