Although compared to the future maglev speed of 600 kilometers per hour, this speed is a bit insignificant.
It’s not even comparable to the 400 kilometers of high-speed rail.
But for this era, it is already an amazing progress.
Because previously the most advanced domestic combustion locomotives, the Dongfeng series, had a maximum speed of only 160 kilometers.
Jiang Changhang excitedly called Li Wenjun after the first day of trial operation.
He was such a steady person, but his voice was trembling slightly, which made Li Wenjun's eyes sore.
"Comrade Li Wenjun, you are amazing. Do you know how many years have I dreamed of building a locomotive that is faster than foreigners? A full hundred years, four generations."
Li Wenjun smiled: "Yes, I know."
The ancestors of Jiang Changhang’s family were actually participants in the Westernization Movement of the Qing Dynasty.
After liberation, it has been involved in the R&D and manufacturing of domestic locomotives.
This is one of the reasons why Yang Shouzhuo asked him to take charge of the construction of the vehicle factory.
Jiang Changhang said: "Actually, I was a little worried about the progress of the locomotive research and development at first. It seems that I shouldn't doubt Comrade Li Wenjun's ability."
Li Wenjun said: "Don't rely entirely on the research and development of locomotives to increase train speed and transport capacity. High-speed trains need to run on more advanced rails. Otherwise, accidents will easily occur."
Today's railway tracks are built on gravel and sleepers.
The normal running speed of 200 kilometers is the limit of the railway track.
Therefore, it is futile to develop new locomotives before the railway tracks are fully upgraded.
Jiang Changhang naturally understood this, remained silent for a moment, and said: "Technology must be ahead of application. We can only do our best. Others are beyond our control."
Li Wenjun said: "Comrade Jiang Changhang can promote the development of this matter. It is better to have someone pushing than no one. Try to find ways from multiple aspects."
Jiang Changhang hesitated: "You mean..."
Li Wenjun: "Leverage. For example, Yang Shouzhuo, there are people higher than him."
Jiang Changhang: "Okay, I will work hard. Comrade Li Wenjun should not stop the pace of technology research and development."
Li Wenjun smiled: "This is what I admire most about Comrade Jiang Changhang. He is positive and upbeat, and everything is in place and everything is explained."
Jiang Changhang also laughed: "Comrade Li Wenjun is commended, and so are you. It's really a pleasure and a sense of accomplishment to work with Comrade Li Wenjun. I just don't know how to tell Comrade Yang Shouzhuo about this."
Li Wenjun: "Needless to say, you just said that a new locomotive has been built, and the speed is beyond his imagination."
------
When Yang Shouzhuo heard Jiang Changhang call and say that Li Wenjun had helped them build the most advanced locomotive, he was so excited that he wanted to come over and have a look, but was pulled away by Qu Lanxi.
Qu Lanxi scolded him for being childish and asked him what he was doing here. Was he going to drive a locomotive and race on the railway tracks?
The most he can do is watch by the railway.
Once this locomotive is mass-produced, it will be seen everywhere.
Yang Shouzhuo sneered: "This is a man's feeling, you don't understand."
Then he drove to the mining area overnight and took Tao Guangming to sit on the hillside, smoking and watching the locomotive run quickly from a distance and then go away through the mountains at the foot of the mountain.
Li Wenjun said that trains in the future can reach speeds of 600 kilometers per hour.
Because the speed is too fast, in order to reduce wind resistance, the front of the car will be made into a bullet shape.
The speed of passenger planes is only 800 to 1,000 kilometers per hour.
Think about the feeling of sitting on that train, isn't it just like flying?
So he watched it all day long.
Tao Guangming was in great pain and asked Li Wenjun to talk to Jiang Changhang about giving Yang Shouzhuo a seat on the roof or in the locomotive.
If that doesn't work, ask Tang Zhaonian to buy a large model railway for Yang Shouzhuo and play with it slowly.
Everyone comforted him: "Stay with him. Maybe he will get tired of it in a few days."
Yang Shouzhuo watched it for three days and suddenly said: "Okay, I won't watch anymore. Why don't you solicit customers and only transport goods?"
Damn it, you've finally seen enough.
Tao Guangming breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "The carriages are still being built. The productivity of the galvanized steel plate cannot keep up. Think about it, Li Wenjun's own motorcycles, cars, and some machinery all use this galvanized steel plate, but
There’s only so much galvanized steel production capacity.”
Yang Shouzhuo frowned: "Expanding production capacity, is this a problem? This is not a problem."
Tao Guangming suddenly understood the reason why everyone wanted him to accompany Yang Shouzhuo to watch the train.
If you can't let go of your child, you can't trap the wolf.
He was the abandoned child, and he wanted to lure the wolf Yang Shouzhuo to help Li Wenjun expand the production capacity of galvanized steel plates.
When Yang Shouzhuo returned to "Wenjun Industrial", he took Li Wenjun to chat: "I say Li Wenjun, you said you can't just look at the immediate interests, but take a longer-term view. For example, hot-dip galvanized steel sheets. You can't just use them for yourself, you have to think about it."
The country needs to develop technology and produce more."
Li Wenjun blinked: "What about?"
Yang Shouzhuo: "Like the carriage of a train."
Li Wenjun suddenly realized: "Oh, the train carriages are made of aluminum alloy. We are already developing and producing it. Ah, by the way, since you mentioned this matter, I would like to discuss it with you. I want to set up a materials research institute.
We need to apply for national funds, and we also need people, land and equipment.”
He has spent too much money on the chip and cannot carry all the burden on his own. He needs to find ways to find more support.
Yang Shouzhuo choked up: No, why should I care whether he can make carriages or not?
Isn't this something Jiang Changhang should worry about?
Ah, yes, speaking of which, Jiang Changhang told me a few days ago that we must find ways to promote the upgrading of railways, otherwise the high-speed trains will not be usable.
I was so happy watching the front of the car that I forgot that this bastard never performs in vain.
Li Wenjun said thoughtfully: "In the future, titanium alloys and magnesium alloys used in aviation, high-pressure transparent polymer materials used in deep diving, carbon fiber used in sports cars, and various nano-level materials will all require laboratories."
Yang Shouzhuo had never heard of several of the materials Li Wenjun mentioned. They were like fantasy, but he knew the importance of the materials.
Without advanced material manufacturing technology, all advanced manufacturing is empty talk.
Li Wenjun continued: "Ah, by the way, that drone. Let's not talk about drive, remote control and stability, let's talk about materials. Nowadays, materials are not good enough. Those that are hard enough are too heavy, and those that are light enough are not strong enough."
Damn it, you throw bait again, and you throw bait again!
The key is that you are the bait. Fortunately, I can't control myself from biting it.
Yang Shouzhuo said with difficulty: "How much capital do you need?"
Li Wenjun said: "Let's get 20 to 30 million first."
To put it lightly, 20 to 30 million. Do you think everyone like you can make as much money?
There are too many places where the country needs to spend money.
Yang Shouzhuo almost overturned the table, took a deep breath to suppress the impulse, and said, "I'll try it."
-----
It was only half a month into the trial run that something went wrong.
