Chapter 60: Reclaiming Kuwu (Sakhalin) Recovering Ezo (Hokkaido)

Hearing Zhang Zhimu say that there are greater things to do, everyone suddenly calmed down, because Zhang Zhimu rarely uses words like great to say a thing.

Zhang Zhimu looked at everyone with a smile and said, "I talked to Mr. Lu about this before, that is, to do weather forecasting. Mr. Lu also has a few people doing this. But what I'm saying is that we're going to put a lot of effort into this from now on. We are about to engage in ocean-going voyages and aviation, and these have great requirements in terms of meteorology. Our industrial and agricultural production also needs us to grasp meteorological information. Meteorological problems are a global problem, and cannot be completed without a wide range of local wind direction, wind speed, air pressure, temperature, and humidity data collection. So I propose that we set up a meteorological research center. It is necessary to carry out the work as soon as possible. ”

When Zhang Zhimu said this, Lu Bingyi took over and said: "Today, Mr. Zhang made such a big determination, and I raised my hands in favor." Last time, Mr. Zhang assigned us the task of weather forecasting, and we now have two people studying and discussing with Mr. Zhang several times. I also deeply feel that this is really not an easy task. It takes a strong organizational leadership to do it. It also requires a long period of data accumulation. We have to start everything from scratch, for example, the measuring instruments used to collect data that Mr. Zhang said need to be redeveloped. In addition, after the data collection is completed, it must be transmitted back in real time. These tasks need to be done from scratch. ”

Except for Lu Bingyi, who has some understanding of weather forecasting, most people think this matter is very mysterious. Zhang Zhimu saw it, and took Lu Bingyi's words and said: "I think everyone doesn't know much about this weather forecast. However, everyone knows that wind is created by the movement of air. Rain is caused by the transpiration of water on the sea surface when the hot air reaches the air and condenses into water when it encounters cold wind, so we can judge the direction and speed of air flow according to the air pressure in each place, and then we can judge the wind direction and speed. These things, after our computers can perform large-scale numerical operations in the future, can calculate relatively accurate data based on mathematical models. However, in the initial stage, we can also refer to the change law of the accumulated data in various places, make appropriate calculations, and then make empirical judgments based on these data. In short, we have to start from scratch, and the sooner the better. As for the instruments mentioned by Mr. Lu, I think they can be implemented today and will be implemented immediately. But I think the most important thing is that we have a leader in charge of this. Let's see who is suitable? ”

After speaking, Zhang Zhimu glanced down.

Now the people below began to talk. In the end, Lu Bingyi smiled and said, "Hehe, come on!" I think this matter, Shi Tao is still responsible! ”

"How is Shi Tao?" Zhang Zhimu smiled and asked, "Now it's everyone's expectation!" ”

Shi Tao also smiled, stood up and said, "I also think it's appropriate for me to do this." But, to be honest, I've always wanted to get all this stuff done and get back on the boat, that's my job after all. Watching Commander Fan and their victories one after another, I was really anxious. But I also know that what I am doing now will be too good for us in the future, so we must keep doing it. Also, the weather forecast is a great thing. Someone had to do it, and I had to be on a boat before, so I had to pay extra attention to the weather. But at that time, with a little meteorological knowledge, I couldn't cope with complicated situations at all. But it is always better than people who have no knowledge in this area, and the nature of these things that I have been engaged in since I fell into the kiln post is also relatively close to this meteorological work. So Mr. Zhang wants to ask who is suitable for doing this, then I think it is really me who is suitable! ”

"Behold! Shi Tao, you are really duty-bound. Zhang Zhimu said, "I understand your feelings, and you haven't been fighting since you arrived in the navy." But I think you know better that what you do is far more important than a few wins. I also know that you are a person who understands the big picture and can do big things. Then it will be decided today, and you will be in charge of our meteorological research center. This department is temporarily under the jurisdiction of the trolls. ”

"Yes! I will live up to my mission! Shi Tao said immediately.

After Shi Tao sat down, Zhang Zhimu said: "Yang Chang is here today, and you will be responsible for the development of the meteorological instrument you just mentioned." I won't talk about the rest. You can use the anemometer in the three-cup type, that is, three small round bowls with handles are placed symmetrically and horizontally, and their rotational speed is different depending on the wind speed, you can use centrifugal method to measure the wind speed, and later you can also use the pulse counting method to calculate the wind speed. Some unattended weather stations also require weather recorders. In the absence of electricity, it is necessary to use the mainspring as the power and record it with paper tape. Specifically, you have to study it with Shi Tao and them. ”

Yang Chang stood up and said, "No problem! He said to Shi Tao, "After your meteorological research center is established, let's sit down and study it together to see what you need." We'll talk about that when the time comes. ”

Of course, Shi Tao said yes again and again, he and Yang Chang have cooperated many times, and the relationship is also very good.

After this matter was settled, Zhang Zhimu said to Li Di: "It's time to talk about you." ”

Li Di smiled and said, "Oops! I'm waiting. ”

"The task assigned to you today is to develop a stepper motor," Zhang Zhimu said, "When you were working on an electronic clock, the kind of stepper motor you developed was too simple." In the future, we will develop various automatic control systems, and we need simple and reliable actuators. In fact, a stepper motor is an actuator that converts electrical impulses into angular displacements. In layman's terms: when the stepper driver receives a pulse signal, it drives the stepper motor to rotate at a fixed angle (i.e., the stepping angle) in the set direction. The angular displacement can be controlled by controlling the number of pulses, so as to achieve the purpose of accurate positioning; At the same time, the speed and acceleration of the motor can be controlled by controlling the pulse frequency, so as to achieve the purpose of speed regulation. The stepper motor system not only has the stepper motor itself, but also needs a supporting drive control system. The motor part needs to be developed by Li Di, and the drive control system needs to be developed by Yang Chang. I call you all here today, so that you can organize a group after you go back to participate in the development of stepper motors. As for the principle of stepper motors, I will arrange time to tell you about it. ”

In fact, Zhang Zhimu has used stepper motors before, and the stepper motor drive for his graduation project has also been used in future projects. But if you want to explain the principle to everyone, you still need to prepare well. In particular, the drive part needs to be carefully prepared.

Li Di and Yang Chang were very willing to arrange for Zhang Zhimu to develop new things. In their eyes, Zhang Zhimu's arrangement is guaranteed not to be arranged in vain, even if it is not clear what it is used now, it will be found in the future, and it will be very useful. Of course, it is full of promises.

This meeting lasted a whole morning, and it wasn't until Yang Yulin sent someone over to ask if he needed to arrange lunch, and Zhang Zhimu realized that it was noon. Of course, this time can't make everyone go back hungry.

During lunch, we can also discuss some issues together. With these people, Zhang Zhimu is the happiest moment. The rapid progress of these people was something Zhang Zhimu did not expect. With them, Zhang Zhimu is more confident in the next step of development.

During the meal, Zhang Zhimu said to Yang Chang: "I have time to tell you about thyristors and field-effect transistors." High-power thyristors will be used a lot in industry and power in the future. MOSFETs are more convenient to use in high-power stepper motor drives. I'll tell you about these things! ”

Li Di asked incomprehensibly: "Can we also use semiconductor devices on strong electricity?" "In his impression, semiconductors are all low-power devices.

"Of course, as you will know in the future, high-power thyristors are very convenient to use in electricity. For example, when your generator is connected to the grid, you can turn off the thyristor guide angle and turn it on slowly after it is connected to the grid, and after it is fully opened, the grid will be directly connected to the grid and the thyristor can be removed. In this way, the impact on the grid is minimized and the safety is maximized. Zhang Zhimu said, "However, Yang Chang and they must first develop high-power thyristors." ”

"Oops! There's so much we have to do. Yang Chang said, "We still need people!" Next year, our electronics students will also need to expand their enrollment. ”

"I think the electronics major should also be subdivided, so I will expand the components major of two classes!" Zhang Zhimu suggested.

"I wonder if we can set up a special academy in terms of electricity." Li Di suggested, "From power generation, to motor manufacturing, hydraulic turbine manufacturing, steam turbine manufacturing, boiler manufacturing, to power transmission, etc., our specialties are becoming more and more detailed." It is better to be independent and specialize in the study and training of talents in electric power. ”

"Hmmm! I think that's a good suggestion. For example, if their metallurgical institute is independent, it will work very well. Zhang Zhimu said, "In the past, I wanted to let their front-line technicians return to the college to be teachers, which can not only solve the problem of teachers and teaching quality, but also allow them to return to the school for theoretical improvement, but not many can really return to the college." However, after the establishment of the Metallurgical Institute, the metallurgical field itself arranged for people to return to the college as teachers. Because the people they want to cultivate are what they want to use, of course they are willing to work hard to cultivate. ”

"Mr. Zhang, no matter what, it's a good way to let the front-line technicians go back to school to be teachers. A lot of the papers in our magazines were written by them when they returned to college. When I return to the academy, I can calm down and summarize some things. It's a process of improvement. Yang Chang said.

"In this way, Mr. Lu and I will study again and see when we will establish a school of electric power engineering." Zhang Zhimu said.

"The academy must be in the kiln!" Li Diti demanded, "It is easy to solve the problem of staying in the kiln gang teachers, and other conditions are good." ”

"This matter needs to be studied!" Zhang Zhimu couldn't decide this right away.

After lunch, Lu Bingyi and Zhang Zhimu returned to his office together. As soon as he entered the house, Yang Yulin came over and handed over a telegram, and Zhang Zhimu saw that it was Jiang Zhi who sent it back.

The telegram said: When our army arrived at Nuergan, sent troops to the surrounding areas, and after taking over the former garrison, we sent a part of the army by ship to Khu (Sakhalin Island, present-day Sakhalin, Russia), where we were given food and clothing, and they welcomed us back very much. We have taken over Nangharwei and are preparing to head south to take over the Ballo Guard.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Zhimu immediately said to Yang Yulin: "Send Jiang a telegram back immediately!" ”

Yang Yulin immediately picked up a pen and paper to record. Zhang Zhimu said: General Jiang Jian: The army congratulates you on your great achievements, and the sons and daughters of China will remember your achievements. Not only will you occupy the Bala River, but you will continue southward and establish a new guard at the southernmost tip of Khugu. From now on, our Kughul Island will never be lost in our hands. There are a lot of forests and there is an abundance of oil and gas underground, and it is our treasure island. When the time is right, I will send a large number of people to develop and build there. You have a great responsibility to preserve this treasure island for our children and grandchildren. I wish the front-line soldiers good health!

Yang Yulin went out to send a telegram, and Lu Bingyi asked: "Mr. Zhang, how did you know that there was oil and gas in Kuwu?" ”

Zhang Zhimu was the most reluctant to answer such a question, but Zhang Zhimu couldn't help but say it to an old man like Lu Bingyi who had been fighting with him as hard as he could. I had to smile and say: "The secret of heaven cannot be leaked!" Believe me, not only in Khugu there is a lot of oil and gas, but there is a lot of oil and gas in the whole of Siberia. That's a treasure that we won't be able to use up for hundreds of years to come. ”

Lu Bingyi couldn't ask anymore and said, "Yes! If our Taiyuan Automobile Factory can be put into production, many cars will go out every day. The more cars there are, the more gasoline you need. We have to prepare in advance. ”

"Yes! Mr. Lu," Zhang Zhimu said, "there are a few things we have to decide today. First, next year, we need you to send a survey team to the Songhua River and the Liaohe River to investigate and survey. The plan for the Songliao Grand Canal will be implemented as soon as possible. There is also a large amount of oil underground in Nuergan, and when the conditions are ripe, we will also develop it. Transportation is a very important thing. ”

"I'm prepared for this," Lu Bingyi said, "In fact, for this kind of work, as long as one or two people who really understand the team lead, the other personnel are not very demanding." As long as the on-site situation is measured, a lot of work can be done back. At the beginning of spring next year, they will be able to set off, and they will be divided into five teams and start moving separately. We will strive to finalize the canal plan next year. ”

"Good!" Zhang Zhimu applauded repeatedly.

"In my opinion, water conservancy engineering, geological exploration and other majors will expand enrollment next year." Lu Bingyi said.

"Yes! We always lag behind in the work of cultivating people. Zhang Zhimu said, "At lunch today, Li Di proposed to build a power engineering energy college in Yaogang. I'd like to ask for your opinion! ”

"Hmmm! I think Li Di's opinion was put forward in a timely manner. Whether it is our needs or the current conditions, we have established this school of electrical engineering at the right time. Lu Bingyi agreed, "Li Di's proposal to build this college in Yaogang is also reasonable, at least the people's hearts are stable." Other conditions are much better. Location, I think I will choose a place along the Xiaoling River to the west. ”

Zhang Zhimu also likes this choice, because the main colleges in Yaogang are here. The environment here is good and the transportation is convenient.

After talking about this matter, let's talk about the Zhangjiakou to Beijing railway.

Lu Bingyi did not immediately agree to the immediate construction of the Zhangjiakou-Beijing railway, because the construction of the railway really requires the guidance of technical personnel. However, now the railway construction in Yaogang is too large, and Lu Bingyi's opinion is to be stable.

In fact, Zhang Zhimu also knew that he needed this, but it would not be good if he saved the emperor's face, so he said to Lu Bingyi: "No matter what, the emperor's face must be given, and this section of the railway will be repaired sooner or later." We'll arrange for some people to start exploring, designing, and then figure out how to organize the construction when our work is done. ”

"The problem is that these exploration and design personnel can't be arranged." Lu Bingyi said, "So be it! At the beginning of next spring, I will try to transfer some people. Our technicians are very nervous right now, they haven't had a break for a long time. Mr. Zhang, you don't need to say that Xiaoliuqiu (Taiwan) also needs exploration and design people immediately. We just can't keep up with our development. ”

"What is said is that talent is the biggest thing that restricts our development." Zhang Zhimu said, "Next year, we will study which majors need more urgent people." Think about it when you enroll. ”

Just sent Mr. Lu Bingyi away, Zhang Zhimu wanted to be quiet, and said to Yang Yulin: "Don't let people disturb me!" ”

But as soon as Zhang Zhimu was lying on the sofa, Yang Yulin came in and asked, "Can you answer the emperor's call?" ”

Zhang Zhimu smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe! The emperor will also call? Take it! ”

Zhang Zhimu picked up the phone and just said, "Hey! With a bang, the emperor's voice came from the phone, "How is it, Zhang Dongjia!" This can also be called! ”

"Huh! The emperor is really, and he won't be unable to keep up with any new things. Zhang Zhimu flattered.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored Zhang Zhimu's flattery and immediately said, "I saw the telegram from you. I know that you have begun to send troops to the Kuv. I would like to remind you that you must not forget Ezo (Hokkaido), which is also the place of our Ming Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, Ezo was under the jurisdiction of the counties of Liaodong, in the Tang Dynasty, Ezo was under the jurisdiction of the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and in my dynasty, Ezo was under the jurisdiction of Nuer Gandu Si Nang Harwei. ”

After listening to Emperor Chongzhen's words, Zhang Zhimu felt that his face was hot, he had always felt that Sakhalin Island was ours before, but he didn't expect that Hokkaido was also ours, Zhang Zhimu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will immediately send a telegram to General Jiang Zhuang, asking them to immediately send troops to Ezo (Hokkaido), and we must not let Ezo Island lose from our hands again." Although our dynasty is vast, there is not an inch of land to spare. ”

Putting down Emperor Chongzhen's phone, Zhang Zhimu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, why didn't so many of us think about Ezo. Perhaps, like the leaders of the republic in our previous life, they were given such a vast amount of land at once, and they didn't care too much about how much land they had, so they were also very generous when they drew borders with others.

However, Zhang Zhimu couldn't sleep anymore, and immediately sent a telegram to Jiang Zhuang: General Jiang Zhuang, reminded by Emperor Chongzhen. Ezo Island is also our territory, and it must be guarded. Ezo Island belonged to the jurisdiction of Liaodong Prefecture in the Han Dynasty, and Ezo belonged to the jurisdiction of the Andong Prefecture in the Tang Dynasty. Let's not let our land be lost from our hands again. Although we have a vast territory, we do not have an inch of land to spare.
