Chapter 934 Train Production Plan
The train whistled as it sped through Yize County, and the people along the way lined the streets to welcome it. However, in order to test the fastest speed, the train did not stop at the station in Yize County.
In the following journey, the traces of people on both sides of the railway began to gradually increase, and neat rice fields were lined up on the roadside, but it was impossible to see houses. All the houses were built in the city, and there were no houses outside.
In the final analysis, it was because the population of the Han tribe was too small.
The Han tribe was essentially a city-state tribe. The main population settlements in various places were the county towns and county towns of each county. There were no villages outside the county towns and county towns.
In this regard, only the oldest Hanyang County and Ruyang County had some villages outside the city, because these two counties developed the earliest, and the scale of the cities built in the early days was not large. After these years of reproduction, the population increased and naturally migrated to the surrounding areas.
Qiongzhou Island, which was just taken over by the Han tribe, is a counterexample. The population of about 100,000 is distributed in hundreds of villages of different sizes. There is not even a big town, let alone any city walls.
If a railway is to be laid there, it is indeed possible to build it close to the residents' houses, because there is not even a city wall there.
The train continued to rumble forward, and Luo Chong called several county governors in the same carriage.
"You county governors, as well as Tang Yao, You Fu, and Lin Fei, come here, let's discuss how many trains and rails we need now. Now the functions and benefits of trains, you should have seen and experienced them, and you also know the use and importance of this thing. In the future, we will definitely popularize them in large quantities, so let's discuss first, how many we need in the short term." Luo Chong suggested to several people.
Several people nodded after listening, and then found a seat close to Luo Chong or sat opposite Luo Chong.
Lin Fei spoke first, "Chief, let me report on the production situation first. According to our current production level, there will definitely be no shortage of rails. The rails produced every day, at the current rate, they are not laid as fast as we produce.
In addition, as for locomotives, we can only say that we have just started the production of locomotives. It is equivalent to semi-mechanical and semi-manual production, so it takes a long time.
The good thing is that we have accumulated a group of professional workers, especially those who participated in the manufacture of trains before. They are the backbone of our future expansion of production.
However, in a short period of time, it is still a bit difficult for us to expand production. Next, I estimate that it will take about one and a half months to produce another locomotive, and it will be very rushed. If it is set at one locomotive every two months, it can be completed more easily."
Luo Chong nodded after listening, then shook his head and said.
"The production speed is too slow. Let me first conservatively say how many trains we need. First of all, on the Xinwei Line we are on now, at least two trains must be guaranteed to be in operation.
Then there are Xingang County, Dongxin County, and the Babaoshan Copper Mine in Liuyang County. These three places together require at least five trains, all of which are used for mining.
In addition, there is the route from Takuhai County to the capital in the south. This line requires at least two trains, and the capital itself needs at least one train for internal construction.
The Tang tribe also needs at least one train at present, and the main route is from Panshi County to Tangcheng County.
Qiongzhou can't use it now, but after the bridge is completed, the railway will be built sooner or later, and it will be an ultra-long line that runs through the entire Qiongzhou Island and connects the grassland and the capital from the cross-sea bridge. However, this can be built in the future when the technology of heavy-duty trains is available.
The above I mentioned, the total number is eleven, we can produce them in batches first, first of all, the other car of the Xinwei Line we are taking now, get this out first, and then the five cars in the three mining areas, this is our basic base, we must get this part done first, and then the ones in the south. "
Luo Chong first summarized the number of trains needed with everyone, and then talked about the problem of train manufacturing.
"Lin Fei, your institute is responsible for sending people to the locomotive manufacturing plant to train workers. Based on the No. 2 car of this road, when building the No. 2 car of the Xinwei Line, each workstation must bring at least one apprentice and be responsible for teaching them.
When you produce the five cars for the mine, you must have the ability to produce two locomotives at a time for at least one and a half months, and you must maintain this number of people in the future. Even if the production of trains stops, you must keep these and maintain them. If you don't build new cars, you must be responsible for maintaining the existing ones. In short, this group of people must not be lost, and in the future you must recruit students from schools to join and gradually replace the older workers. "
Lin Fei nodded after listening to this. The Han tribe only needs these at present. If there are more, there will be no place to use them after production. This is a general order. But if they need to manufacture more in the future, they cannot do without people, so they must support a group of people.
Lin Fei has even thought about it. When the new people of the new religion mature, he will send the old people to the stations in various places to be responsible for maintaining the trains in various places at any time. This kind of work is not so busy, but the income is definitely not low. After all, there are still only a few people who know about trains.
However, he still raised a question to Luo Chong.
"Chief, it is no problem to take apprentices as you said. We can do it, but the key is that no one lets us take them. Generally, those who don't understand these things will find it very difficult to learn even if we teach them. It is impossible for them to work alone so quickly.
In this regard, even if you transfer a group of students with the best grades in the school to me, it will not work. They must understand mechanics and preferably have done related work. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that these people will be able to become apprentices within two months." Lin Fei said with some embarrassment.
"This is easy. Find people with relevant work experience. Don't you have plenty of such people? You can negotiate with Dali and directly transfer internal positions, pick some skilled, young and energetic people, and let them learn.
As for the positions vacated by these people, you will not worry about no one to use them soon, but you should make plans for how to place them. "Luo Chong directly suggested.
"What? What does the leader mean by this?" Dali asked puzzled.
"What? What do you mean? Now that our train is repaired, many transportation personnel who used to run on this line will lose their jobs to eat.
As for the carriage team that set off with us in the morning, do you think these drivers are still necessary? One train trip is equivalent to their pulling for a month.
These people will not pull carriages in the future, what do you want them to do? Go home and farm? This is not impossible, but it should be okay to pick out some people to work in your factory? So you don't need to worry about the problem of lack of people at all." Luo Chong explained to them directly.
