"Lao Gao, doesn't the company have a development plan to develop steam-powered machinery and automobiles? Many of the company's equipment is now powered by steam engines, and we are very mature in the practical application of steam technology. The technical threshold of steam vehicles is relatively low, and with the company's current industrial base, it can form the capacity of large-scale mass production in a very short time.

The large-scale development of steaming machinery and automobiles will not put pressure on the fuel demand of the Sakhalin petrochemical base, after all, the production capacity of the petrochemical base will not be able to meet the demand for a large number of gasoline and diesel vehicles in the future. As for the fuel coal required for steam engines, there are considerable reserves in Inner and Outer Mongolia, Northeast China, Outer Northeast China and North Korea.

At present, the company is developing resources in the Northeast and the Outer Northeast on a large scale, and the development of steam-powered equipment and vehicles should be able to meet the needs. Even if we develop internal combustion engine power in the future, steam power can still be used as an important supplement to internal combustion engine power. In the future, the company's territory will become larger and larger, the population will increase, and the cultivated land area will increase year by year, and the internal combustion engine power alone will not be able to meet the needs of our machinery and vehicles. ”

Gao Jianguo listened to Li Ming's words and said in a deep voice: "Well, let's not make up our minds first, after all, we are not experts in this area. After we went back, we met with the other members of the Standing Committee of the Board of Directors, and then gathered experts and technicians from the Power Research Institute and the industrial department to sit down and study and listen to everyone's opinions. Let the company's professionals do it, this is related to the company's future strategic development direction, we must be cautious. ”

Although the two of them are aware of the problems encountered in the current development of the company, it is imperative that they first find a way to transport the logs down the mountain. There is less than a month left before the spring ploughing, and if the woodcarved flutes of the displaced people cannot be built before the spring ploughing, then the displaced people will have to live in the wild huts for the next few months.

Gao Jianguo and Li Ming summoned the grassroots leading cadres of more than a dozen surrounding detachments overnight. An emergency meeting was convened. Discuss and solve the problem of log transportation together. They had some exchanges over the radio with several members of the Standing Committee from other regions, and found that their situation here was not an isolated case, and that this problem had arisen to a greater or lesser extent in various places.

They reported the problems encountered by the resettlement sites back to the company and instructed the various departments of the Ethnic Affairs Committee to call in experts and technicians. Study a plan to solve the problem of log transportation in the resettlement sites of displaced people.

Gao Jianguo and Li Ming convened a meeting until midnight, and they thought of a lot of ways, but they still did not solve the problem of logs going down the mountain. Faced with the muddy situation in the old forest, there is really no good solution.

When everyone was at a loss, the company sent a telegram, and the experts and technicians of several departments such as the Ministry of Industry had come up with a preliminary plan after research. They will arrive at the scene by train overnight. This scheme is validated. ”

At noon the next day, experts and technicians from several departments of the company rushed to the scene by train to check the situation of the forest farm in the mountains, and then took the train to several other resettlement sites for displaced people to inspect the situation.

Two days later, a train from the direction of Vladivostok was loaded with a large number of pulleys and wire ropes, as well as other equipment components. Under the command of the company's expert technicians. Each resettlement site organized the displaced people to erect triangular scaffolds on the way down the mountain from the forest farm. Using a pulley block and a wire rope, the weight of the log is used to slide the log on the mountain to the bottom of the mountain by inertia.

After the continuous exploration and improvement of the company's expert and technical personnel, the plan was finally determined and implemented, and the results were also very satisfactory, and the transportation speed of the logs from the forest farm to the bottom of the mountain was greatly accelerated. The efficiency has been increased by at least dozens of times.

In addition, the company has also mobilized a large number of agricultural tricycles, wheeled tractors, cattle and horses from all over the country, and transported them to various resettlement sites by train and inland river barges to help them transport logs. Finally, the problem of transporting logs was solved.

The problem of log transportation has been solved, and the construction of woodcarved flutes in the resettlement sites of displaced people in various places has also been rapidly accelerated. At this rate. The woodcarved flutes in the resettlement sites of displaced people in various places can be completed before spring ploughing.

Gao Jianguo and Li Ming finished their inspection of various resettlement sites and took the train back to the company, where they first came to Wang He's office and exchanged Li Ming's ideas with Wang He.

Wang He had just returned from an inspection of the resettlement sites and had encountered many problems. The problem of labor inefficiency is also recognized. He is more supportive of Li Ming's idea, in the development of the company's internal combustion engine still needs the test of time, can be developed in advance of the technical threshold and mature steam power.

In fact, many departments of the company currently have a high and ambitious mentality, regardless of the actual situation faced by the company, blindly pursuing the high, although the company does not lack technology, but the development of basic industry needs to cooperate with each other, is a time-consuming, slow system engineering.

Even if the Far East brings a large number of materials from modern society, it is absolutely nonsense to want to build a complete basic industry with these materials. There are also issues such as technology and materials, the company has been developing in this era for ten years, and it can be regarded as the entry of Baba, and now it is impossible to climb to the sky in one step.

Many modern industrial products seem simple, but they need the support of the entire industrial chain. In modern society, even a ball on a bearing, a component of an electronic product, or even a screw may need the support of the entire industrial chain.

At present, the Far Eastern Company can only develop in a targeted manner, grasp the key points, concentrate on tackling key problems, thoroughly understand one, and then solve the other. There are no shortcuts to industrial development, every step has to be taken. Even if you get around, there will always be a day when you turn around and come back to make up for the lesson.

The three of them found several other members of the Standing Committee and sat together for a meeting. Everyone is full of confidence in the company's current development, but also has a deep understanding of the problems faced by the company, hoping to change the company's current dilemma of low productivity efficiency.

The next day, several members of the Standing Committee of the board of directors of the company convened the heads of various departments of the company to discuss this issue. also put forward the ideas put forward by Li Ming to everyone, and the results were both for and against.

But most people still have a positive attitude towards Li Ming's ideas. At least at this stage, it is obviously unrealistic to want to popularize internal combustion engine power on a large scale in a short period of time. Achieving this goal within five years is already the most optimistic estimate. (To be continued......)
