Chapter 1008 Increasing Productivity
In the autumn of 1641, the various regions of the Far Eastern Company were a busy scene. Thanks to God's blessing, after two consecutive years of drought, this year's Northeast and Outer Northeast regions are also considered to be smooth, and finally ushered in a bumper harvest. Millions of peasant households are happy to welcome the autumn harvest, and every household has surplus grain in their warehouses, and there is a lively scene of joy everywhere.
The area of Lake Khinkhai, north of Vladivostok, is dotted with state farms of Far Eastern companies. A series of 25 horsepower, 75 horsepower, 110 horsepower steam-powered tractors, as well as 12 and 15 horsepower single-cylinder diesel-powered walk-behind tractors, and 20-horsepower single-cylinder diesel three-wheeled agricultural vehicles developed by the Vladivostok Automobile Factory.
and a range of supporting agricultural machinery and equipment. Farm trenchers, mouldboard ploughs, disc ploughs, rotary tillers, nail harrows, paddy harrows, cultivators, seeders, planters and seedling machinery were produced in small batches and then sent to the Far Eastern State Farms around Xingkai Lake.
After a year of use, all kinds of steam-powered tractors, diesel-powered tractors and agricultural vehicles produced by the Vladivostok Automobile Factory, as well as various supporting agricultural machinery, basically met the design requirements.
Although all kinds of machinery also have such and such problems, but on the whole show good durability, the work efficiency of various farms around Xingkai Lake, all aspects, has increased several times or even more than ten times.
This year, the newly cultivated land in several trial farms around Xingkai Lake has not only increased several times as in previous years, but also significantly improved the work in other aspects, and the results are extremely gratifying.
Especially during the busy autumn harvest period, because of the support of a large number of tractors, agricultural vehicles and various agricultural machinery and equipment, not only the efficiency of the work has been greatly improved, but also the labor cost has been greatly reduced.
In the past, a lot of work on farms was due to the lack of power machinery. It takes a lot of human resources. However, since the equipment of various vehicles and mechanical equipment, human resources have been reduced a lot in an instant, while the efficiency has been increased several times.
If these vehicles and equipment are widely used in the Far East Company, it also means that the Far East Company can develop more agricultural resources in the Outer Northeast region, and even implement a large farm program in the area around Xingkai Lake, as well as in the Outer Northeast Region.
In addition to tractors, agricultural vehicles and various agricultural equipment. Steam trucks, dump trucks, and various small construction machinery, including bulldozers, excavators, loaders, cranes, road rollers, concrete mixers, levelers, ballast cleaners, dump trucks, scrapers and other construction equipment, developed by Vladivostok Automobile Factory, are produced in small batches.
It is then sent to forest farms, construction sites, and mines near Vladivostok for practical use. Although there are many problems, but in general it is quite satisfactory, at least with these steam construction machinery and vehicles, the work efficiency of each construction site has increased geometrically.
These new vehicles and equipment, after a year of actual operation, have achieved very good results. This also made the Vladivostok Power Research Institute and the Vladivostok Automobile Factory ecstatic.
A large number of experts and technicians, including the Far Eastern Science and Technology Commission. Almost all of them are involved in this work. After a year of actual use, a lot of deficiencies were found, and many design problems were solved by many experts and technicians one by one, and immediately produced a batch of improved products, and re-sent them to farms and construction sites around the country for trial, and constantly found and solved problems.
After nearly a year of continuous improvement, finally on the trial of various vehicles and mechanical equipment. Finalization was carried out before mass production. The next step will be mass production.
However, at present, the various vehicles and equipment produced by the Vladivostok automobile factory must first be popularized on a large scale in the Vladivostok region and the Sakhalin petrochemical base. Further practical use of vehicles and equipment to verify the quality and durability of the products.
Moreover, although the Far East Automobile Factory is ready for large-scale production, it has not been able to increase its production capacity in the past two years due to the constraints of equipment and skilled industrial workers.
It will take at least more than a year of running-in and operation for the Far East Automobile Factory to gradually get on the right track and maximize its production capacity. And a large number of qualified products were produced, which were popularized on a large scale in various regions of the Far East.
However, it can be expected that in the future, if the various regions of the Far Eastern Company really popularize various vehicles and mechanical equipment, the company's work in all aspects. Efficiency will be greatly improved, labor costs will also be greatly reduced, including many industries will benefit from it.
First of all, agricultural production in the regions of the Far East will be greatly promoted and enhanced. Secondly, the progress of various projects in the Far East will also be greatly accelerated, such as the railway network, road network, mines, forestry farms, infrastructure projects, and so on.
The popularization of various vehicles and machinery and equipment, the original Northeast Railway Network Plan formulated by the company's railway department, seems to be small. In the future, the Far Eastern Company will establish a northern railway network, and the railway from Liaodong to the Hetao region, the railway from the Hetao region to Lake Baikal, and the railway from Liaodong to Xinjiang in the northwest will no longer be a dream, but will eventually be realized.
The company can not only vigorously develop the Northeast and Outer Northeast regions, but also develop the Hetao region, the Northwest region, the Siberian region, the Australian region, the Indian region, the Indochina Peninsula region, etc., which is no longer the long-term goal set by the company.
As long as the power vehicles and machinery and equipment are popularized in various regions of the Far East Company, the development of the Far East Company will enter the fast lane faster, and even usher in a blowout development.
Increased productivity also means that many aspects of the company will be transformed accordingly. Every time there is a huge increase in productivity, it means that the whole society will usher in a great change. Looking at the trajectory of scientific and technological development, every major breakthrough will cause profound economic changes and great progress in human society.
From steam engines, automobiles, airplanes, telephones, computers, optical fiber communications, genetic engineering, automation technology, microelectronics technology, biological engineering, new material technology, space technology, marine technology, and so on, all of them are proof that science and technology have greatly promoted social and economic development.
Of course, the Far Eastern Company has just taken the first step, but this step is not small, it can be said that it has directly spanned hundreds of years.
Far Eastern companies came to this era, itself standing on the shoulders of God. Even many things that are technically unattainable have a theoretical basis that is hundreds of years ahead. At least there is no bottleneck in technology, as long as we develop slowly step by step and lay a solid foundation, sooner or later it will be finally realized.
