"The ministry said that it is a personal favor for us." Liang Haiping opened his mouth and shocked Liang Yuan.

What is this? Is it a hooligan? The Ministry of Railways is cheating, so how can I throw a shell straight over? It's sugar-coated, Liang Yuan shouted in his heart, breaking the rules.

Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan's stunned look with satisfaction. It is rare for his nephew to show such an expression. I don't look at it a few more times now, and I don't know how long it will take to see it next time.

No, the Ministry of Railways' advantage in this matter has definitely not reached the point of crushing. The Northeast Locomotive Factory is not a pure little white rabbit. If you force yourself to tear down the investment agreement signed with Democratic Germany, the matter will be very big. At that time, it was not something that the Ministry of Railways could handle alone. Things beyond their control will never take risks.

Looking at Liang Haiping looking at him with a smile, Liang Yuan knew that he had been deceived by his uncle. Liang Yuan rolled his eyes and supported his forehead with his hands. He could only sigh helplessly. He has fooled his uncle countless times in the past six months, so he must not let others take revenge.

Liang Haiping looked at Liang Yuan and rolled his eyes, then showed a helpless smile, and knew that Liang Yuan had reminiscent and said with a smile: "Let you experience it too, how did you survive the past six months."

"But it is true that I owe my personal favor. The nose chosen by Xiaoyuan is indeed reliable. The 243 nose also passed the loop test at one time." Liang Haiping said with a smile.

The 243 electric locomotive is worthy of being one of the best stable locomotives in the world. The Ministry of Railways used local materials and directly hung three 25S undercarriages that were still in the ring line test site. After a day, the entire inspection was completed. There were examples of the 25S undercarriage. The Ministry of Railways used a rotating crew to stop people and stop cars. The entire inspection was completed in one go, and more than 2,000 kilometers were run in one go. When the ring line inspection was over, the 243 electric head only accumulated a 9 C-type faults similar to the heat dissipation grille screws were loosened, and some instruments still needed to be accurately checked.

After listening to Liang Haiping's discussion on the loop inspection, Liang Yuan smiled. In the half century of existence of the socialist camp, he produced only more than ten essential industrial products, all of which were tested in the sand of the waves in later generations over thirty years. Of course, it is very reliable.

"I owe a favor." Liang Yuan smacked his lips and continued: "This thing may be priceless, and more likely to be cheap. It is really exhausting to deal with these middle-aged and elderly people. There is no accurate word. What is the use of favors owed by the Ministry? It is not private. This is simply the euphemism that I thank you on behalf of the people of the whole country."

"But it's rare for the ministry to put his posture so low." Liang Yuan said with some confusion.

What Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping didn't know was that after passing the test, the Ministry of Railways was calm on the surface and there was not even a news message. In fact, among the people who were qualified to know about this, there had been undercurrents.

In the 1980s, the first speed of China's railways that was truly put into operation on paper was the Oriental Red 1 internal combustion locomotive produced during the Great Leap Period. The maximum speed was 140 km/h and the maximum power of a single unit was 910 horsepower. The maximum power of a single unit was increased to 1050 horsepower in the later modified single unit and the maximum speed was reduced to 120 km/h.

In addition to the 74 Dongfanghong 1 locomotives produced during the Great Leap Period, marked with a speed of 140 kilometers per hour, China Railway no longer has a nose with a traction speed higher than 120 kilometers. The 243 electric locomotive easily broke through the 140 kilometers per hour speed mark when it towed three simulated full loads of 25s undercarriages.

On the day the 243-head ring experiment ended, Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory, which developed the SS series electric locomotives, called the Equipment Department of the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Railways, and proposed to move the domestic production project of the 243-power locomotive to Zhuzhou, and use the experience accumulated by Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory in the development of electric locomotives for many years to complete the domestic production work as soon as possible.

The Equipment Department of the Development Planning Department was very supportive of the opinions of Zhuzhou Factory. Before drafting the official document, the Equipment Department called the Northeast Locomotive Factory and was accidentally told when learning about the situation of the 243-type head that the 243 electric locomotive was not under the management of the Northeast Locomotive Factory, but was managed by the third-multi-plural business office of the Benxi Vehicle Service Section. The more handling agencies were responsible for paying for money. The Northeast Locomotive Factory was only responsible for localization according to the drawings, and there was no other knowledge.

The equipment department of the Ministry of Railways called Duozhuan again, and the focus of Duozhuan business was Suifenhe. The work in Benxi area was basically logistics support work. For his own convenience, Liang Haiping merged the Duozhuan and Locomotive Logistics supply department to one office, and handed over some of the miscellaneous tasks to Zhou Heng's fiancée Fu Juan for management.

Occasionally, when Liang Haiping invited the staff around him to dinner, someone asked about the purpose of the 243 locomotive and whether the factory will produce it in the future. The locomotive factory has not worked for many years, so the employees are very concerned about production matters.

Liang Haiping has never figured out what Liang Yuan wanted to use this locomotive, but he knew that Liang Yuan planned to use the 243 nose as a platform. Liang Haiping has always told the truth about the employees' problems and directly informed him that the introduction of the 243 locomotive was mainly to learn from the technology of democratic Germany. In the future, the locomotive factory will not produce in batches, and at most it will produce a few for experiments.

Therefore, Fu Juan knew that the car factory had no intention of producing a 243-type head on a large scale. When Fu Juan received a call, she heard that the Equipment Department of the Ministry of Railways wanted to mass-produce the 243-type locomotive. When she asked that it was not an order from Liang Haiping, Fu Juan directly refused and told the Equipment Department that this thing was used for scientific research and that it was not a plan to mass production and go online.

With such an unexpected result, the equipment department was a little stunned. The Northeast Locomotive Factory had been out for many years. In recent years, the department had never paid attention to this company. It can be said that it had no influence at all. In addition, the station section was greatly enhanced after the contract was full. If the car manufacturer did not apply for online operation, the equipment department could not control the car manufacturer and could only stare at it.

The cannon fodder that was wading through landmines was frustrated, so the Development Planning Department naturally could not sit idly by. After checking the relationship, it was found that the 243 locomotive and the railway system really had nothing to do with. Although the more handling was called a railway company, it had very close contact with the troops. The main business was to engage in foreign trade in Suifenhe.

Isn't this enough? A foreign trade company joined forces with a locomotive factory that almost went bankrupt to study electric locomotives, and has not planned to go online yet. Is this a normal person doing it?

After finding a copy of the package of motorcycle transfer agreement signed by the Ministry of Foreign Trade and Trade, the Development Planning Department of the Ministry of Railways was no longer possible. It invested 400 million yuan a year to open a series of shopping centers in Democratic Germany, and also allowed Democratic Germany to shop in its own currency. Regardless of whether the company is seeking death or not, this level cannot be handled by a department.

Finally, the request from Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory, together with a series of materials found by the Development Planning Department, was sent to Deputy Minister Liu Zhigao.

In the eyes of high-level officials, the degree to which things violate common sense is absolutely proportional to the size of power. At the level of Liu Zhigao, many things are well known. A few days ago, the troops set up several special trains and brought production equipment worth hundreds of millions of yuan to the Northeast Locomotive Factory. I don’t know how deep the water here is. In 1987, the troops allowed business.

If you can't be hard, you can only be soft. Liu Zhigao himself is very optimistic about the 243 locomotive. The speed of 140 kilometers per hour has reached the threshold of the high-speed railway. Who can lead the lead in making breakthroughs on the high-speed railway? It can be said that the Minister of Railways got two-thirds of the hands. 286 has been said on many occasions that Japan's Shinkansen is "as fast as the wind, we can have this."

In the end, Liu Zhigao found Zhao Tiemin, the chief engineer who was also interested in the 243 machine head. The two sent a test signal to the Northeast Locomotive Factory through Liu Changhe. Unexpectedly, the Northeast Locomotive Factory was in a flash of trouble and mixed up with the Shengjing Road Bureau. Using a 25s car rental plan, the Shengjing Road Bureau turned the Shengjing Road Bureau into a comrade-in-arms in a trench.

The original locomotive factory was enough to fight. This time he got hooked up with Shengjing Road Bureau again. Liu Zhigao and Zhao Tiemin had no choice but to come forward in person and strive to reach a consensus with the Northeast locomotive factory in front of other forces in the ministry.

Liang Haiping and Liang Yuan didn’t know about the series of twists and turns behind them. Liang Haiping heard Liang Yuan complain and said with a smile: “The Ministry has not given any benefits. Didn’t I mention to Liu Changhe that the technical strength is insufficient? The Ministry will give us a preference in the future allocation of college students.”

College students in 1987 were still in the era of planned allocation. Without the permission of the Ministry of Railways, it was impossible for Liang Yuan to supplement high-quality employees through formal channels.

"This is not bad." Liang Yuan nodded with a smile.

After digesting the technology of Democratic Germany, when you really start developing high-speed trains by yourself, relying on the current technical strength of the Northeast Locomotive Factory is simply a joke. At least thousands of high-quality employees must be supplemented and the leader is found to make the R&D team run. The Ministry of Railways must go through the replenishment of talents of this scale.

"Not this one, right?"

"The Ministry asked the car manufacturer what aspects to focus on in the future development plan? The Ministry will give priority to the policy."

Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping said this and realized that the Ministry of Railways had suffered a heavy bleeding this time. The decline of factories such as the original Northeast Locomotive Factory and Chengdu Locomotive Factory are related to the policy of centralized support by the Ministry of Railways.

After the large-scale preparations for war and famine construction in the 1960s, there were at least hundreds of railway vehicle factories across the country (rail vehicle factories can convert to tanks at any time). After the Ministry of Railways’ key support and optimization of the combination, only seven survived when they entered the new century. The Ministry of Railways said so, it was to support the Northeast locomotive factory and turn the railway vehicle suppliers from seven majors to eight majors.

However, this is really a trouble for Liang Yuan. Focusing on supporting the company means being penetrated by the department. For Liang Yuan, who has a ulterior motive, this will increase countless difficulties in the future poaching work. Liang Yuan is still sure to deal with the army's family in the future. If the Ministry of Railways joins in, Liang Yuan, the Northeast Locomotive Factory, will no longer have to make any decisions.

"This is really a happy trouble. Otherwise, we should not support it and hand over the machine head directly." Liang Yuan grabbed his hair and said.

A simple and crude rejection is the most brainless choice. Liu Zhigao and Zhao Tiemin promised this to bring the Northeast locomotive factory closer to their own camp. The Ministry of Railways has never been a monolithic and is full of disputes over multiple lines. Politically speaking, it is divided into reformists, conservatives, internal combustionists, and powerists. In the future, there will be more out-of-wheel rails and magnetic levitators, monopolyists, openists, centralizedists and contractors in management...

Although the Northeast Locomotive Factory has embraced the thigh of Shengjing Road Bureau, the road bureau's vehicles will always be replaced one day. The Northeast Locomotive Factory has to go out sooner or later. At this time, the support of the senior management of the ministry is more important. In particular, Liang Yuan plans to penetrate the tentacles into the field of high-speed railways. With China's national conditions, it is unimaginable without the support of the Ministry of Railways. Otherwise, a debate about concentrated traction or dispersed traction will be enough for Liang Yuan to work hard for several years.

Liang Haiping thought about it and understood what Liang Yuan meant, but didn't say anything. He just looked at Liang Yuan with a smile and thought of a solution.

Liang Yuan looked at Liang Haiping with a smile, looked at himself with great ease, and complained: "Uncle, I am not the director of the motorcycle factory. I can't think of a solution by myself."

"I don't think about moving something back to my home. Why don't Xiaoyuan go home and ask your dad and see how to deal with this?" Liang Haiping said with added fuel to the fire.

If Comrade Lao Liang found out about this news, Liang Yuan would have made a big decision. For Liang Jiangping, the Ministry of Railways directly under the jurisdiction of the Northeast Locomotive Factory, it would be equivalent to the car factory returning to its former glory. This result would be wonderful.

When Liang Yuan thought of this bad consequence, he quickly said, "Uncle, no matter what, Comrade Lao Liang cannot go to the department on behalf of the car factory. If my father knows this news, he will report tomorrow to restore the department's direct administration. Even if the troops have some doubts, my father will definitely find Uncle Ning to settle it. This is simply terrible."

"I finally got the factory on the right track. I handed it over to those bastards in the department. The factory will still be dead if it takes less than five years. At that time, you have to take out your military coat to escort. Uncle Zhou, do you think so?" Liang Yuan had not forgotten to win over Zhou Heng, who had always been a driver for Comrade Lao Liang.

The employees of the car factory have always been very resentful about the department. The older generation of employees have watched the Ministry of Railways gradually shrink its investment and support efforts, and gradually forcing the factory to the brink of bankruptcy. For ordinary employees, the industry adjustment in the general direction does nothing, and it is true that they can make a living.

Zhou Hengxin nodded with a slight nod and said, "Xiaojuan told me more than once that it would be best if Director Liang is always the director and completely eliminate the factory. Otherwise, the above will be the one who splits up again and is the one who is unlucky in the end."

Most people are the most ordinary economic animals. After several salary adjustments, the rumors in the factory have disappeared. The two major steel companies in the same city as the car factory have basically paid 50 yuan per month for front-line employees, while those in the car factory can pay 60 yuan per month for environmental sanitation and cleaning. The real money they get, and the employees' mental outlook has been completely renewed, as if they have restored the temperament of the state-owned enterprises and large factories in the 1950s.

A while ago, Liang Jiangping also told a joke that when the employees of the car factory went to Gongnong Road to buy groceries, the stall owners would directly get the best ones, and then add a 50 cents per cent to sell them, which made the whole staff of the car service section wearing the same road clothes complain. Then someone went to Liang Jiangping to give advice, believing that the employees of the car factory were disturbing prices and hoped that the section could make a move.

Now Liang Haiping's position in the car factory is at its peak. What the most feared by the car factory employees is Duanli's untrustworthy, driving Liang Haiping off the stage, and taking the company back to Duanli's jurisdiction. At that time, he will be paid the same salary as the whole people, and he will lose a lot.

"Don't pretend to be sad." Liang Haiping said, "I don't believe that you are reluctant to let go of the 243 electric motorcycle. Tell me your idea quickly. Even I have been hiding it for so long."

Although Liang Yuan and Liang Haiping talked about this locomotive countless times, from a practical attitude, Liang Yuan really didn't care much about the 243 electric locomotive. The structure of the electric locomotive is much more complicated than that of the 25s double-decker bus. Many locomotive parts are imported from Democratic Germany.

In addition to bogie, wheelset, locomotive skeleton, shell, the first 243 electric motor head was domestically produced. The remaining electrical equipment, power systems and other parts were assembled original parts. In addition to paying attention to the air springs of the 243 electric motor head and the localization progress of the immature locomotive multi-unit microcomputer control system, Liang Yuan ignored the rest. Liang Haiping had long guessed that Liang Yuan had other plans.

"Uncle, it's not that I'm hiding it from you, but that I haven't figured out which camp to choose yet?" Liang Yuan said with a frown.

"My uncle should know that railway traction locomotives are now divided into three categories: steam, internal combustion, electricity, and steam are destined to be eliminated. We can ignore this, and the only thing left is internal combustion and electricity."

"I have long discovered that you are not concerned about the 243 nose. Xiaoyuan plans to build an internal combustion engine in the future?" Liang Haiping asked.

Liang Yuan shook his head.

"Was that introducing the West Germany 120 electric locomotive you mentioned?"

Liang Yuan shook his head, looked at Liang Haiping's puzzled expression, and sighed and said, "In fact, in addition to internal combustion and electricity, there is also a kind of power nose that has flourished."

In the 1950s and 1960s, the petrochemical industry had not invented the petroleum cracking process. At that time, cheap heavy oil was similar to the waste of refineries, and gas turbines were always known for their strong fuel adaptability. Therefore, gas turbine trains at that time flourished around the world.

In that era, the United States produced the world's largest single-machine railway locomotive, and the United Pacific Railway Gas Turbine with an output of 8,500 horsepower, which can pull a heavy-duty marshal of 12,000 tons in a single-machine. France developed the TGV001 high-speed gas wheel EMU, which uses five marshals to form the maximum speed of 318 km/h.

Although the gas turbine locomotives at that time achieved great achievements in both passenger and cargo, due to the technical level at that time, the locomotive power used a simple cycle open gas turbine unit, and the thermal efficiency of the gas turbine was below 25. It was only because of the low fuel price that it gained a foothold in locomotive power.

After the petrochemical industry invented the cracking process in the late 1960s, which allowed gasoline to be extracted from heavy oil, the fuel price of gas turbine locomotives rose year by year.

After losing the fuel cost advantage, the weaknesses of gas turbine locomotives such as high noise, high temperature exhaust emissions, and low fuel efficiency during low load operation were exposed, which quickly disappeared. After entering the 1970s, the power system of railway locomotives returned to internal combustion and the two power players.

Liang Haiping obviously worked hard on the nose. When he heard Liang Yuan mention the gas turbine motorcycle, he shook his head and said: "Datong Locomotive Factory once built two gas turbine motorcycles, Long March 1 and 2. Later, one exploded and the other burned. That thing is not suitable for powering railway motorcycles. Xiaoyuan, you are simply moving against the historical trend."!~!
