Huaxia Huache Group, the entire R&D department has been very excited these days because their technology has once again achieved a major breakthrough.
The root cause of this breakthrough comes from new materials. When the Zhang Group sent dozens of parts processed from new materials, the researchers found that the problems that had troubled them before were solved.
"It's incredible. Director Zhang, the new parts provided by Zhang Group have greatly improved the performance of our car. At the same time, the service life of these parts has been greatly increased. These parts are core parts. In this way, we
The maintenance cost of new cars will be reduced to one-third or even lower than the original..."
The person in charge of the research department said seriously that just by replacing some core components, the performance of the new train has been greatly improved, the life of the core components has been greatly increased, and the maintenance costs have been further reduced.
Materials, materials are king. For the same component, different materials have different lifespans. For example, the lifespan of a fighter jet engine. With the same design concept, the lifespan of American engines can reach tens of thousands of hours.
However, due to the influence of materials, the engines of China's fighter jets can only be used for a few thousand hours. This is why materials are king.
Now, this is also happening on high-speed trains. The parts and components provided by Zhang Group show magical results.
"How much performance improvement?"
Director Zhang asked quickly.
"If we just replace our ordinary high-speed trains with new parts, our speed can reach 450 kilometers per hour. If we optimize the design, the operating speed can reach 500 kilometers per hour..."
This answer made Director Zhang take a breath of cold air. You must know that the current speed of China's high-speed rail is 350 kilometers per hour.
If it is increased to 450 kilometers per hour, the distance between the two places will be further reduced. The most important thing is that the maintenance cost will also be reduced.
"What about high-speed maglev?"
Director Zhang quickly asked another one. The high-speed maglev train has been rolled out. And it has its first customer. In the private sector, the first high-speed maglev railway is already being laid.
"Director Zhang, we have tested the performance of new materials. If Zhang Group is willing to provide us with these new materials in large quantities, we can fully optimize the technology and the operating speed will reach 1,000 kilometers per hour from the current 600 kilometers per hour.
If we just use these parts, we can reach 800 kilometers per hour..."
This answer made Director Zhang swallow his saliva. 1,000 kilometers per hour, this speed is too fast. It is faster than a civil airliner.
If you can really reach this speed, why fly? Airplanes are not as safe as trains, and they cannot compare with trains in terms of comfort or carrying capacity.
"Safe operating speed?"
Director Zhang couldn't help but ask, and the R&D staff nodded.
"How did the Zhang Group respond?"
Director Zhang asked with concern.
"They have already responded. They are willing to cooperate with us and provide us with new materials. At the same time, they are also willing to invest in developing new cars with us."
The R&D staff said with a smile.
"Let's just do research and development together. We are state-owned enterprises. Since the Zhang Group is willing to provide new materials, let's cooperate. However, our materials department is also working hard to achieve domestic production of these materials as soon as possible."
Director Zhang said seriously. Director Zhang naturally knows about the relationship between Zhang Group and Huaxia. So cooperation is absolutely no problem.
Use materials from the Zhang Group first, and then replace them with domestic ones when you are able to make them yourself. This is the most normal operation.
Huache started taking action, and Zhang Fan also took action. Zhang Fan went to Yanjing in person to meet with people from the Huaxia Railway.
Huaxia Railway also welcomed Zhang Fan's arrival. Especially after learning about Zhang Fan's purpose, they became even more interested.
It is a joint venture to build a railway, and it is not an ordinary railway, but a super-high-speed maglev railway. Not one line of this thing has been put into use yet.
Not to mention the ultra-high-speed maglev railway, even ordinary high-speed railways have very few mileage in operation in other countries except China.
In the conference room, Zhang Fan's team fully explained their plans in this regard. The ultra-high-speed maglev railway will operate at a speed of 800 to 1,000 kilometers per hour.
The entire railway network is built underground and operates in a fully enclosed environment. As a supplement to the high-speed rail, the entire line mainly connects major cities.
For example, the connection between provincial capitals is also part of the national security strategy. Because the railways are built underground, they are safer than ordinary railways.
And the speed is very fast. If a country needs it, a lot of things can be transported in the shortest time. Although the maglev is a high-speed railway, it does not mean that it cannot carry heavy loads.
The carrying capacity of maglev trains even has advantages over ordinary heavy-haul trains. Even if the speed is slow, it is much faster than ordinary trains.
Now that the Zhang Group has money and construction technology, it is completely suitable for a joint venture. Of course, Zhang Fan is not greedy and wants a controlling stake, because a controlling stake is impossible.
Zhang Fan just wants a part of the dividends, so he can make more money from this project. Because the construction of this project is inseparable from the earth-burrowing dragon.
"If it is really built successfully, this railway line will play a major role in promoting the economic development of our country, especially in the western region..."
The person in charge of the railway looked at the line on the map. Others could not help but look forward to it.
With a railway speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour, it only takes two and a half hours from Urumqi in the west to Yanjing.
This kind of drive is so convenient. With this kind of transportation, more mainlanders will be willing to go to the west to develop.
The west is vast, sparsely populated and rich in resources. At the same time, because of its unique climate, many fruits are much more delicious than those in the interior.
Needless to say, resources are very abundant. The successful construction of this line is a major achievement for China.
"In this case, let's cooperate. Our railway also serves the country and the people. Let's build the Yanlan Line first. From Yanjing to Lanhai City..."
The first line, from Yanjing to Lanhai City, passes through Hebei Province, Yu Province, Husheng, Hunan Province and Guizhou Province.
The line is very long, but there are not too many stops. They all stop in provincial capital cities. Even in Gui Province, there are only two stops in Nancheng and Lanhai City.
The speed is too fast, and the distance is too short. It is only meaningful to set up stations if the distance is at least 300 kilometers. If it is too short, there is no need to set up stations. Ordinary high-speed trains can suffice, not to mention the speed of ordinary high-speed trains will increase soon.
After the speed is increased, it will only take 40 minutes to reach within a range of 300 kilometers. What kind of maglev train is it? It is expensive and not cost-effective.
