Rebirth of Military Workers

Chapter 283

Regarding the problem of slow trains at the base, Xie Kai really doesn’t care much these days.

Every time he left the base, he never took a train several times. He came and went by helicopter. He had never thought about this before.

“Lao Zheng, this railway must be improved. If this continues, the development of our base will be severely restricted.” When Xie Kai was in Wang Guilin to arrange helicopter transportation of technicians and repair equipment, Bai Yanjun did not have a few people. Take this seriously.

To be rich, build roads first.

The way out of the base, except for the sky, is the road and the railway.

Going out by road to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is far more troublesome than taking the railway directly from Jiayuguan. It’s not a highway, and the road follows the inner valley of the Qilian Mountains, winding and winding, and the railway reaches thousands of kilometers on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

The supply of materials from the base simply cannot be transported here.

The transportation cost of roads is far greater than that of trains.

Therefore, the train becomes the only channel that can be selected for the base.

“It really has to be improved. With the development of the base, the dependence on this railway will become more and more serious in the future. If you want to do something in the base without repairing the road, this situation is really not good.” Qi Zhiyuan nodded and said .

“Did I say you got it wrong? The problem is the locomotive, not the railway! How much does it cost to build a railway, hundreds of kilometers?” Bai Yanjun was not happy.

A railway, that investment can make people crazy.

A unit on the base simply cannot afford it.

When it was built, the entire railway was built by the state regardless of cost. Now they are building it, and it is simply not possible to use the base.

“Even if you don’t repair it, you have to modify the line. Change it to electrification. Otherwise, our base really can’t be done.” Zheng Yucheng is now really aware of the seriousness of the matter.

When the base does not have any products, only supplies and materials need to be transported from outside, and two trains a day are enough.

Now the base is under construction. There are a total of six steam locomotives and two diesel locomotives in the base, all of which are in use.

The front of the steam locomotive should have been changed long ago.

“Either we will build a double track, or we will build roads along the railway…a distance of hundreds of kilometers, once there is a problem, we can only take the road.” Xie Kai looked at a few people, “If you want to get rich, build the road first. ”

“There are fewer children and more trees, right?” Bai Yanjun, who is usually unsmiling, amused everyone.

“Director Bai, you are suitable for family planning work.” Zheng Yucheng said with a smile, “This is a serious matter for us. Don’t do it like family planning work. It is the work of the labor union and the Women’s Federation.”

It was the first time Xie Kai saw old guys being so unserious.

This kind of working atmosphere is normal.

“Regarding the railway problem, we must now solve it. Those old cars from the sixties have to be repaired every day and must be replaced.” Zheng Yucheng said to several people, “According to the current situation, I think it is best to be the same as outside. , Began to engage in electrification. The cost will not be too high…”

“It’s not too high! The thing has to be erected next to the electric pole, and it has to have high-voltage electricity… Nothing is done in Jiayuguan.” Bai Yanjun said, “The cost is too high.”

“If it doesn’t work, just take a loan from the state.” Xie Kai said, “The railway is our main transportation force. Even if our airport is built, it is impossible to use airplanes to transport our heavy military equipment!”

Before Zheng Yucheng and others considered the development of the base, the base decided to keep part of the assembly business of the 359 tank and the 122 mm self-propelled howitzer behind it.

Now the manufacturing of military excavators has been in full swing, and the original failure has been partially resolved. The large number of orders requires that a large number of spare parts need to be shipped back, and the finished products have to be shipped out.

“Just buy a few diesel locomotives directly. Let’s use them first.” Zheng Yucheng doesn’t want to spend too much money, and the base is engaged in large projects. That’s where the money is spent.

The country can afford to engage in railways.

The 404 base simply cannot afford such an investment.

“Diesel locomotives are not good. Most of the domestic ones have been eliminated. We can’t fall behind in the initial investment, or else it won’t work after a few years, and then we will have to waste money.” Xie Kai said, shaking his head.

The railway has actually been built, and they have used it for so many years.

Zheng Yucheng’s proposal to replace the diesel locomotive is unintentionally the most suitable for the base at present.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

Not to mention the low cost, the front will be in place soon.

“We need to solve the current problem now! At that time, we will negotiate with the Ministry of Railways and mobilize a few good diesel locomotives to solve the problem.” Zheng Yucheng said, “We can’t wait to transform the railway line or something.”

Bai Yanjun and Qi Yuanzhi did not speak, but looked at Zheng Yucheng.

Xie Kai expressed his attitude and felt that the railway must be done right from the beginning. This railway can be said to determine the future development of the base.

The two sides were in a stalemate. Bai Yanjun didn’t even want to replace the locomotive. He hoped that it would be repaired and used.

Coal is cheap.

Until Wang Guilin came back after arranging additional technical personnel to be transported by helicopter, there was no conclusion.

After listening to the arguments of Xie Kai and others, Wang Guilin, who was engaged in logistics, was stared at by everyone. His opinions are very important.

“Lao Wang, what do you think?” Zheng Yucheng threw the question to Wang Guilin.

Wang Guilin looked at Xie Kai and stared at him, instead of speaking directly, he asked Xie Kai what he thought.

They have now given Xie Kai the same position as them. Although Xie Kai has not yet formally joined the company, the base has also paid him a salary.

“The biggest problem with diesel locomotives is oil. We don’t have a big oil storage here, and there is no sufficient oil supply at Jiayuguan. Even the cost is much higher than other places in the country.” Xie Kai said , “Electrification, the country is vigorously improving and constructing.”

Electrified railways are the future.

Whether it’s EMUs or China’s high-speed rail, which has created Chinese standards, this thing is a piece of fat.

For the fat meat 20 years later, if you don’t make layout now, 404 definitely won’t have a chance to lick it, let alone pounce it hard.

When he didn’t encounter this problem, he didn’t think about it either.

It is now in front of us, and the layout is ready. It is completely possible to turn the more than 100-kilometer-long hidden railway from the base to Jiayuguan into the cradle of China’s high-speed rail.

National projects, when the country has money, can it be done without investment?

“What’s the problem at hand?” Zheng Yucheng asked Xie Kai, “What about the money? Even if there is a ready-made railway, we still have to renovate it. The cost of rebuilding a kilometer can cost two or three million.”

Hundreds of kilometers, this is a project worth hundreds of millions.

It’s not that Zheng Yucheng doesn’t want to get it. How big is the base?

“We don’t have much money in our base, but we have already undertaken several projects with a budget of more than 100 million yuan…” Bai Yanjun was a little bit grumbling.

That’s not what he likes.

“Loans. We can’t do it if we have money. Anyway, the railway is repaired and it belongs to the country. Our money has to be spent on the blade!” Xie Kai said without hesitation.

They are also state units, and other units take loans to pay wages. They have money, but the road is not easy.

“Didn’t Chief Long Yaohua come here too? I will complain to them at that time.” Long Yaohua will definitely help with this matter.

The cost of railway construction is much lower than the cost of base relocation.

The time of the two is even longer.

Naturally, Xie Kai would not say that he wants the 404 base to get involved in the most profitable domestic project in 30 years.

“In the current situation, we can only get the locomotive head first, and we can start to prepare for the transformation of the railway, and even we can study the transformation of the faster and more traction locomotive in the base.” Xie Kai said calmly. “Otherwise, the infrastructure facilities can’t keep up, and we can only wait for the situation in front of our base.”

“I also think so. The highway is no way, it is too far, and our heavy equipment can not be transported by car. Or can it drive thousands of kilometers?” Wang Guilin is most supportive of Xie Kai’s proposal.

He hoped that the railway at the base would have greater transportation capacity.

This is his essential job. If the materials are not transported in, the production of the base will come to a standstill, and even food will become a problem.

If the equipment can’t be shipped out, 404 won’t get the money.

It is estimated that it will be difficult to get money by relying on Xie Kai’s bragging and deceiving people as it is now.

“What about you?” Zheng Yucheng asked Bai Yanjun and Qi Yuanzhi.

Qi Yuanzhi said it didn’t matter.

Bai Yanjun wants to oppose it, considering that the base transportation problem restricts the development of the base, he can only sigh silently.

“In this case, let’s discuss a plan first. When Long Yaohua comes, ask him to have a good drink…” Zheng Yucheng said, “But who will get this loan?”

Going to the bank for loans, especially hundreds of millions.

“Pharaoh is responsible for this matter…” Qi Zhiyuan hurriedly tossed the pot.

Bai Yanjun also nodded hurriedly.

Before Wang Guilin had spoken, this matter fell on him, “You are too much. At the beginning, the base didn’t have the money to pay, so I paid my smile…”

Xie Kai thinks these guys have problems with their ideas.

Now that people with 404 go to get a loan, the bank will take the initiative to ingratiate themselves. How much money are they holding?

People are not afraid that 404 can’t afford it.

I think back then, 404 was an abandoned unit. There was no appropriation and no planned tasks. Bankers would take loans unless they were stupid.

Now lending to the base, a project of several hundred million, how high is the interest rate?

“That’s it. Lao Wang still contact a few diesel locomotives first. When there is nothing wrong with the locomotive repairing side, we can modify these to make the speed faster…” Zheng Yucheng was very satisfied.

Asking for a loan is not something that a base director should do.

“Oh!” Wang Guilin sighed.

“Director Wang, can the Iranians come in smoothly tonight?” Xie Kai changed the subject, “They are sending us money.”
