Agriculture Maniac

Chapter 59: Rails Arrived, Locomotive Arrived (Please Read)
Behind the township compound.

Yu Yang stood on the shore of Pingdong Lake and looked at his own dock.

Since all the buildings attached to the village center require self-provided materials, this dock also uses a steel-concrete structure.

The upper and lower floors are 100 meters long and 50 meters wide. With the help of hundreds of cast-in-place piles, it lies dormant on the lake surface like a high-end sea view house.

Unfortunately, this kind of functional building is different from residential buildings, so only one can be built, otherwise we would have to sell a batch of them.

Yu Yang wrapped himself tightly in his military cotton coat and walked into the dock against the chilly north wind.

A translucent page appeared in front of me, indicating that only fishing boats could be built at present.

Choose construction and let the brothers who come deliver cement, fine aggregate, asphalt and concrete admixtures to the designated warehouse.

Then follow the prompts and lower the water truck on the side of the dock.

next second.

A 3D image of a fishing boat appears in the field of vision, with various parameters displayed on both sides.

Including specifications, performance, lifespan...

Yu Yang tried to adjust the ratio of building materials, and these parameters changed accordingly.

But water is a strong acid, a weak acid, a strong base, and a weak base.

Cement has different grades according to its strength.

Fine aggregate also has different types according to quality and material.

Concrete admixtures are even more complicated.

Some can make early-strength concrete, which is suitable for winter construction. Some can make high-flow concrete, which is easy to pump. Some can make high-durability concrete, which is used for large-span buildings...

This resulted in the family having to repeatedly replace building materials and even contact the county to ask them to send a batch of reagents that they did not have at the moment.

at last.

Yu Yang spent two days to find a set of slightly familiar ratios.

Cement: Emulsified asphalt: River sand.

1: 1.6: 2
Also.

Polycarboxylic acid high performance dispersant 1%
Defoamer dosage 1%
The amount of aluminum powder added is 0.2%.

The dosage of U-type expansion agent is 12%.

Emulsified asphalt needs to be prepared separately, that is, the asphalt is heated to 160°C, carbon powder and modifier are added, stirred for 10 minutes, and then stirred at high speed for 170 minutes in an environment of 10°C, and the emulsifier is added...

"Thanks to my experience as a general contractor and a high-speed rail project contractor, I witnessed the production process firsthand. Otherwise, I would not have had any impression of it and would not have been able to make emulsified asphalt."

After getting the mix ratio, Yu Yang thought about it and removed a few admixtures from the formula. Then, based on his experience, he added a few catalysts, which reduced the performance of the CA mortar by two-thirds.

Then the new formula was named CA-1 mortar, with a note: specially for ballastless track.

"We'll open up a Sanyuan Agricultural Confidential Archives room and put it in a safe for people to steal."

"If it was really stolen and someone copied it, we would launch the CA-1.1 model, which is 10% more powerful than before."

"Then we launched the CA-1.2 model, which has 20% better performance than before."

"In short, if anyone dares to cause trouble, we will use repeated product iterations to make it so that the other party can't sell anything."

As for patents and such...

Just write something casually and muddle through.

After Yu Yang finished these, he went to the blacksmith shop to make the mold.

The current railway tracks are built by laying the roadbed, laying gravel, laying sleepers, and then fixing the rails to the sleepers.

Ballastless track does not require gravel or sleepers. It is a bit like building a cement road, and also a bit like splicing an overpass.

In general: make a cuboid with steel clips at both ends in advance, then use countless cuboids to splice into a concrete road, then lay steel rails, and use steel components to fix the rails to the clips at both ends of the cuboid.

Since this type of track does not have a shock-absorbing structure, the cuboid must have properties such as buffering, shock absorption, and corrosion resistance, so it needs to be made of composite materials, hence CA mortar.

However, instead of making a rectangular block, a platform can be cast and the rails can be embedded on it with steel components to increase the load-bearing capacity, but the construction speed will be slower.

They transport vegetables and employees themselves, and basically do not carry heavy objects. They use prefabricated assembly, which is sufficient to meet daily needs.

This is also the reason why Yuyang only purchases standard 38kg per meter rails and does not purchase 45kg, 50kg, or 60kg per meter rails.

A little bit.

With the help of ten strong men, the blacksmith shop made 10 sets of rectangular molds.

Pour CA mortar into it. Yu Yang looked at the time. This composite material solidifies quickly and can dry in about 3 hours.

However, maintenance is required in the early stages. Water it about once every 5 hours, for a total of 3 times. After that, water it once every 7 days. If there is high temperature weather, water it twice a day.

Therefore, we will ask the crazy people in the parking lot who modified the tanks to weld a few rail tank cars.

It can sprinkle water and also put out fire.

"It's done, call it quits!"

Yu Yang walked out of the dock, asked Chang Fu to smash a hole in the ice with a spear, washed his face with water, and instantly felt refreshed.

……

Return to the township compound.

There was a buzz of activity on the provincial road in the distance.

People coming and going, some carrying wooden bars and using ropes to unload the rails.

Or use a welded cart to transport the rails.

Yu Yang came to the roadside, looked around, and found the deputy village chief who had not picked up many passengers recently and came to act as supervisor.

"Is this the railroad the county gave us?" "No, it was transported from Fengtian Prefecture by train, but more than a dozen of them were lost on the way, resulting in a loss of more than 2,000 yuan."

"If you dare to steal our Shiliying's stuff, use the loudspeaker to call for the young and old men in the village to pack their weapons and march to the Northeast!"

"Forget it." The deputy township head knew he was joking, so he pretended to persuade her and changed the subject. "Someone from the county came yesterday and asked when you were free to go to Shitou City in Bashu to attract investment."

"I'm so busy, how can I have time to travel so far?"

"The entire flight will be reimbursed."

"Oh?"

"I heard that more than a dozen investment promotion groups from nearby cities and prefectures gathered in Tai City, and then were arrested by the boss and locked up in Dongyue Hotel. The doors and windows were welded shut, and only two meals were delivered every day. The city was worried that you would slip through the net and be recruited away, so they urged the county to take you away as soon as possible."

"As expected of the boss, he is really ruthless."

"Are you going to attract investment?"

"Don't go."

"What?"

"Too busy. The rails have arrived, and the electric locomotives will probably be here soon. After the railway is laid, the cables are connected, and the water pipes are installed, we will build plastic greenhouses, purchase natural fertilizers, make a sowing plan, make a harvesting plan, and assign employees to areas. After all the work, it's time to pay salaries. Then it's almost the New Year, and we need to increase production capacity and make a lot of money... I haven't finished my own work, so how can I have the energy to help the county."

The deputy township head curled his lips, tilted his head, and his glasses slipped down a little. "These are all excuses. I suspect that since you've been hanging out with Mr. Dong, you no longer care about the county town."

"Am I such a snob? If I were, how could I stand here and say so much to you?"

"That's right, let's go, let's go drink."

"I've quit... By the way, the chairman of the No. 1 Construction Company has been hanging around me recently, send someone to keep an eye on him."

"know."

……

Yu Yang returned to the township compound and made another 10 sets of molds at the DIY blacksmith shop.

But the blacksmith shop needs 10 people to keep it running, and if you want to speed up production, you need to add more people.

"What a coincidence! So many people came to the village all at once, causing chaos..."

Yu Yang immediately formulated a "blast troop" plan.

First, the 100 laborers with good performance in Shiliying will go through the formalization procedures and be recruited as formal workers of Sanyuan Agriculture.

Monthly salary is 680, accommodation allowance is 300, five insurances and one housing fund are paid, salary is paid before the 15th of the next month, there are red envelopes for festivals, and benefits at the end of the year.

At the same time, farmers were arranged to renovate the kangs for regular workers and charge a technical support fee of 1500 yuan per month.

Correspondingly, the number of farmers increased to 256, the area of ​​improved farmland increased to 25.6 acres, and the number of real plastic greenhouses increased to 11.

Among them, 200 people are responsible for the plastic greenhouse and 30 people are responsible for the blacksmith shop.

The remaining 26 people roamed around farmers' homes, providing "technical support" according to the three-day maturity period, and earned 38.4 yuan a month.

In addition, these 26 people are also responsible for regularizing more laborers.

There are 5 to 10 vacancies every day. After becoming a regular employee, the kang will be renovated, houses will be occupied, and the number of farmers will be increased.

In this way, there will be more and more strong men in the family without attracting attention.

Yu Yang called his eldest brother and asked him to be responsible for implementing the plan.

Subsequently, 20 people were selected to supplement the blacksmith shop.

Almost instantly, mold production speed increased threefold.

30 sets in ten minutes, 180 sets in an hour.

1800 sets in ten hours...

Fortunately, the steel rails purchased by the family would never be used up. Whenever the blacksmith shop was short of metal materials, they would just throw in a rail.

When Yu Yang woke up, the blacksmith shop had collected 2000 sets.

At the same time, the materials ordered from the city also arrived.

2000 sets of molds were placed by the lake, and the village laborers were responsible for supporting the steel bars and setting up the molds, including fixing the metal components at both ends.

The mixer then prepares the CA mortar, which is then loaded into several bucket trucks converted from tractors and used to pour into the molds in turn.

Three hours later, the first batch of rectangles came out, totaling 3 pieces, which can be used to lay 2000 meters.

7 hours later, the second batch of cuboids came out of the oven...

11 hours later, the electric locomotive that Fengtian Prefecture had sold half of it to itself finally arrived.

They all look a bit shabby. 15 of them are passenger trams, which look a bit like the rail trams in old movies. They have only 1600 kW of power, but can reach a speed of up to 160 km/h.

The other five were electric locomotives that were driven directly from Fengtian Prefecture to Pingdong County, where they were dismantled into pieces and transported over by semi-trailers.

The models are all 'Shaoshan SS1', with a power of 3900kw, produced in Nanhu, manufactured in 1978, with a speed of 100km/h. They have been pulling goods in the Northeast for 20 years and are close to being scrapped.

But even if it is close to being scrapped, it is the big brother from Northeast China who takes care of its own family, because an electric locomotive costs at least 500 million yuan, and its family really cannot afford it unless it is scrapped.

If you buy it now, you can spray it with full blue or full red paint later, and then paint the word "harmony" in white, and it will immediately look classy.

"He who controls the track controls the future!"

Yu Yang picked up his pen and wrote down the words of caution, then went to the boss to apply for the 'Enterprise-owned Truck Cross-Track Transport Permit' and the 'Factory Electric Locomotive Self-Operation Permit'.

You know what, it really works to find Mr. Dong, who doesn't follow the rules.

For example, for an innovative project that belongs to a private enterprise, if it were another leader, even if he was willing to approve it, you would have to wait for batches of people to come and inspect it, and then submit it for review layer by layer. After going through all the processes, the leader might have been transferred, and you would have to apply again, and it would take at least three to five years.

On the other hand, Mr.

"I'll write a document for you. You can use it first. I'll come back to fill in the documents when all the formalities are completed."
