Chapter 666 High-speed Train

Chapter 666 High-speed Train

You know, when Zhou Tiansijiu City Red Star Research Institute was first established, it trained a large number of talents, which allowed it to open several branches at one time, covering several industries.

But the TY Machinery Factory is different. Although its talent pool is only slightly better than that of the steel rolling mill, it is still far behind the original Red Star Machinery Factory.

If his superiors let him stay in this position for ten years, he might be able to lead another research institute, but he believed that his superiors would not let him stay here for so long.

"Commander Zhou, you are right. Perhaps we should think about the research direction of the machinery factory in advance. I will hold a meeting to discuss it with everyone in the next few days!"

After thinking about it, Mr. Liu finally figured it out and said directly.

"That's good. If the machinery factory has any difficulties, you can always come to me!"

Hearing that Mr. Liu agreed, Zhou Tian felt relieved for some reason and assured Mr. Liu. After all, this was his own idea and he couldn't force the machinery factory to change its research direction.

Now that he had heard what Mr. Liu had said, he naturally stopped talking.

Next, Zhou Tian visited the machinery factory for a while and even took a walk around the workshop. Seeing the workers in their work clothes working in an orderly manner, he became more satisfied with Mr. Liu.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Tian took a car back to the Civilian Science and Technology Research Institute and continued his research on coal desulfurization. After so much research, Zhou Tian had already mastered the method, but some adjustments were still needed in the details.

In March, after several confrontations between Secretary Liu and Mr. Lu, the site of the pharmaceutical factory was finally decided to be in the Xishan Industrial and Mining Area.

When the decision was made, some people were happy and some were naturally disappointed. But regardless of whether they were happy or not, a large number of engineers entered the Xishan Industrial and Mining Area the next day and began a large amount of construction.

When Zhou Tian learned about this, it was already the end of March. However, he did not express any opinion on this. As he said, as long as it was built in a sparsely populated area, it didn't matter to him where it was built.

But later, he also made a suggestion to Secretary Liu, that is, the construction of the highway cannot be delayed. After all, there were only a large number of coal mines in the Xishan Industrial and Mining Area before, so the construction of the highway was not urgent.

In the past, transportation relied more on railways, but now it is different. We cannot rely on railways for the transportation of medicines. Moreover, even if we want to use railways for transportation, the railway bureau does not have enough trains. How can we let pharmaceutical companies take advantage of this again?

At the beginning of April, the machinery factory completely passed the decision to change the research direction, and set the research direction to focus on trains and supplemented by mining machinery. As for the agricultural machinery orders received by the factory, they were all transferred to the SX Agricultural Machinery Factory.

After the decision was made, Mr. Liu asked someone to inform Zhou Tian of the machinery factory's research decision. After Zhou Tian learned that the machinery factory had made this decision, he couldn't help but feel happy.

That day, he took out the drawings of the high-speed train that he had already drawn and notified the machinery factory to send people to study it.

Next, Zhou Tian formed a high-speed train research team in the research institute to study high-speed trains. However, Zhou Tian did not participate in it this time. He increasingly found that sometimes, if he participated, it would be like forcing these researchers to take action.

It would be better to wait until they reach a bottleneck in their research, and then explain the results to everyone. This will also help cultivate a group of truly professional talents for the industrial group.

Moreover, for him, the research and development of high-speed trains is actually not complicated. It’s just that people often don’t change their thinking. In addition, due to the lack of electricity in the country before, it did not have the conditions for research.

However, after so many years of national power construction, coupled with the power units developed by research institutes, the country is no longer as short of electricity as before, so the success of high-speed trains has become possible.

After all, no matter what, high-speed trains rely on electric traction to achieve this goal. If there is not enough electricity, the development of high-speed trains will be in vain.

With the blueprints, the research on high-speed trains went smoothly. In less than a month, the first high-speed train was completed. After experiments, it could basically reach a speed of 170 kilometers per hour.

Although everyone was very satisfied with the speed, Zhou Tian knew that it was not enough. After all, as far as he knew, the high-speed train developed by the Japanese in 1964 had a speed of over kilometers.

Moreover, he had calculated that if the high-speed train was really developed according to the blueprint, the speed should be over 250 kilometers per hour. In order to strive for excellence, Zhou Tian had no choice but to personally check all the interfering data and start to get involved, looking for the cause with everyone.

Soon, Zhou Tian discovered the reasons why the speed did not reach the data. One was the track technology, and the other was that the traction motor did not meet the requirements he set.

To this end, Zhou Tian first improved the track technology by precisely designing and manufacturing the shape, contour and material of the wheels and tracks to reduce rolling friction and vibration.

The use of tapered wheels combined with tracks of specific curves enables the train to better adapt to curves and maintain stability when traveling at high speeds.

Improve the power of the traction motor, use high-power electric traction technology, provide powerful electric energy to the train through the overhead line, drive high-performance traction motors, quickly output high torque, and achieve rapid acceleration and high-speed travel of the train.

Through the efforts of Zhou Tian and a group of people, the first high-speed train in the country was finally completely assembled at the TY Machinery Factory at the end of May. On the second day after the assembly was completed, people were sent to inspect it. After the train passed the inspection of the Railway Bureau, the high-speed train was officially listed as a key production project in the country for the next few years.

At the same time, with the emergence of high-speed trains and a large number of domestic reports, the news soon spread throughout the world and even caused a great response abroad, especially in the Japanese country.

When this news from China reached Japan, Japan immediately held an emergency meeting.

"Everyone, tell me why China's economy has developed so fast in recent years. First, it exported machine tools to Big Brother, then exported home appliances, clothing, beverages, candy and cars to France. You know, these are all our plans for the future, but now China has taken the lead. If this continues, when can we stand at the top of Asia again?"

At the meeting, the latest leader of the Devil Country, Kouhara San, looked at everyone present and said in a low voice.
