Although the power revolution in the Far East is coming, there is still a long way to go to truly popularize power machinery on a large scale in various parts of the company. First of all, the Vladivostok Automobile Factory has just been expanded, and the installation and commissioning of various equipment takes time, and a large number of qualified industrial workers are also needed.

In order to support the Vladivostok Automobile Factory, the company has transferred a large number of industrial workers and grassroots management cadres from various enterprises of the company to ensure that the Vladivostok Automobile Factory is established as soon as possible.

In addition, several large enterprises in the Vladivostok Industrial Zone, including the largest machinery factory, military factory, Bac Ninh Iron and Steel Complex, Bac Ninh Foundry and other enterprises, will also provide strong support to the automobile factory. According to the company's slogan, it is to ensure the smooth operation of the Vladivostok automobile factory at all costs.

But even if the factory is successfully established, the personnel are all allocated, and it has received strong support from all parties. But if you want to mass produce in a short time, it also needs a long way to go, that is, production capacity, production capacity, or special production capacity.

It is so easy to develop power machinery, and how can a technology-intensive and capital-intensive industry be achieved overnight. This requires the support of the entire industrial system of the Far Eastern Company.

From the design of products, the determination of processes, the construction of equipment, the construction of factories, to the development of parts and components and the production of supporting capabilities, all need the support of the entire industrial system of Far East Company. But now the industrial foundation of the Far East is not strong. Even vehicles powered by steam engines are still difficult.

In order to popularize power machinery in the Far East company as soon as possible, many experts and technicians of the Vladivostok Power Research Institute have made unimaginable efforts and spent several years working hard to finally launch a series of steam-powered and diesel-powered vehicles, tractors, as well as agricultural machinery and construction machinery and equipment.

A series of vehicles and machines developed by the Far East Vladivostok Power Research Institute. All of them passed the acceptance of the company's science and technology committee, and the Vladivostok Automobile Factory immediately carried out small batch production, and sent various products to several farms around Xingkai Lake and several mines and construction sites near the Vladivostok Industrial Zone for practical use, and the response in all aspects was very good.

Of course, in the actual use of various units, problems of one kind or another have also arisen. However, it is gratifying that the problems that arise in the process of use can be quickly improved in the future production process. All vehicles and equipment do not have fatal design flaws.

Among them, the first steam truck produced by the Far Eastern Company, the performance was very satisfactory. This steam truck weighs 12. 5 tons, the maximum full load is 5 tons of cargo. The car is equipped with a small steam power unit, which can output 108 hp at 1350 rpm, and can reach speeds of up to 45 kilometers per hour on smooth roads.

The car can be loaded with 0.6 tons of coal. As well as a 450-liter water tank, the maximum range can reach 180 km. In the absence of coal, wood can also be added as fuel, but the figures will be reduced in all aspects.

This steam truck has always been very stable in the actual use of various units, has been running well, and the reliability is quite good. Even when driving on bumpy dirt roads in the wilderness, the reliability of the vehicle is stable.

Of course. This steam truck has basically no high-tech, and its appearance is silly and dark. The workpiece is rough, what electronics, power assist,

Air conditioning, ABS, airbags are all absent. There were no pneumatic tires, just four cast-iron wheels covered with a layer of carbon black rubber.

The shock absorption of the vehicle is also made of leaf springs, and the hydraulic shock absorption is not considered at all, so the comfort of the vehicle is impossible to talk about. Although hydraulic technology has already been developed. But reliability is always bad. Including loaders, excavators and other engineering equipment, there is no hydraulic system, all of which are primitive mechanical structures.

The company's various vehicles and equipment are basically operating in extremely complex environments, and everything must be reliable, durable and stable.

Each steam truck requires three people to drive. The braking system is also mechanical, with a handle pulling. The steering, suspension, clutch, travel and transmission systems are also primitive mechanical structures. This also makes driving this steam truck very hard, and trying to drive it away anyway is definitely a draining job.

And this steam-powered truck also has a lot of disadvantages, including the huge weight of the boiler, the driver has to always observe the amount of water in the furnace, and what is even more unbearable is that the steam truck needs to preheat the water in the furnace for 1 hour before starting the vehicle.

In order to ensure the reliability and stability of vehicles and equipment, the Vladivostok Power Research Institute and the automobile factory used the original mechanical structure as much as possible, sacrificing the comfort of many vehicles and equipment. The people who operate the vehicles and equipment are not an easy task.

Many experts and technicians from the Vladivostok Power Research Institute and the automobile manufacturing plant also consulted a large number of various materials on automobiles in modern society when designing these vehicles and equipment, learned a lot of lessons and learned a lot of detours.

Under the circumstance that the company's industrial base is very limited, they brainstormed, worked together, adapted measures to local conditions, fought day and night, and finally handed in a satisfactory answer for the company in a few years.

At present, all kinds of vehicles designed and produced in Vladivostok have been actively improved in the actual use process of more than a year, and the problems that arise in actual use have been basically solved, and all models have been designed and finalized, and have entered the active preparation stage for mass production.

The historical significance of the steam engine is often exaggerated, consciously or unconsciously. It provides the means to harness and harness heat energy and provide impetus to machinery. Thus, it put an end to humanity's age-old dependence on animal, wind, and water power.

The revolution in steam technology acted on the production of society and affected all aspects of society. The application of the steam engine is a huge leap forward in the productive forces of society, and then brings about a major change in the social industrial structure. It has even been said that Europe's domination of the world in the 19th century was based on technological revolutions such as the steam engine.

As early as a few years ago, the Far East entered the steam age, and a large number of steam locomotives, steam generators, pumps, steam machine tools, marine steam power units and other steam equipment are now and all over the control areas of the Far East, making great contributions to the development of Far East companies.

Nowadays, Far Eastern Company has taken a step further and developed a series of automobiles, tractors, construction machinery and agricultural machinery based on steam power and supplemented by internal combustion engine power, which is absolutely of great significance to the future development of Far Eastern Company.
