Chapter 1405 United Island Locomotive Works Production Plan
At noon on June 1st, the 14th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao hurriedly finished his lunch at the restaurant on the first floor of the lord's hut after finishing the special meeting to support the Marquis of Shaliu held on the third floor of the lord's hut in the morning, and then rushed to the Union without stopping. island.
After the naval warship docked at the North Port of Liandao, Qu Mao found a war horse after landing, and rushed towards the direction of Liandao Locomotive Factory. For Liandao, the places Qu Mao often hangs around are except for the third-level courtyard on the outskirts of Liancheng. It was the Liandao Machine Tool Factory, but this time Qu Mao did not go to the Liandao Machine Tool Factory, but to the Liandao Locomotive Factory, although the two factories were located together.
Ever since he inspected the independent territories of the Eastern Continent, Qu Mao has been thinking about when to issue a policy in the name of the Kingdom of Shaliu: to attract and encourage mine owners and entrepreneurs from the territory of Emperor Yi to spontaneously go to the desert of the Kingdom of Shaliu Regional development of metal mines.
However, even if Qu Mao is keen on the results brought about by mine owners and entrepreneurs spontaneously developing metal mines in the desert area of Shaliuhou State, Qu Mao still has to consider the consequences of this behavior.
Even though there are a large number of surrendered soldiers among the residents of Emperor Yi's territory, after all, slavery has never been practiced in Yidi's territory, so all residents of Yidi's territory enjoy the same treatment.
If mine owners and entrepreneurs rashly organize residents to develop the metal mines in the desert area of Shaliuhou State and cause a large number of residents to die, as the lord of the Yidi territory, Qu Mao believes that he needs to take responsibility for the deaths of the residents.
After thinking about it, Qu Mao thought that at the very least, the number of steam trains from the Holy Land of Emperor Yi's territory to Xirong City should be increased to three times a day, so that it would be possible for mine owners and entrepreneurs to spontaneously organize residents to develop, so that the logistics supply In order to keep up with the fresh water supply, mine owners and entrepreneurs need to bear the problems of production time and production efficiency, and do not need to worry about the death of residents.
The special meeting held in the lord's hut in the morning to support the Marquis of Shaliu strengthened Qu Mao's cognition, and the departure frequency of steam trains was mainly limited by the number of steam train locomotives, which is why Qu Mao chose to The reason for going to Lian Dao Locomotive Works immediately after the meeting.
In fact, there is not much time left for Qu Mao. On the morning of June 2, the 14th year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao will board the steam train to Xirong City, spend three days and three nights to arrive at Xirong City, and leave it to Qu Mao. In fact, it only takes half a day if the time is full.
Qu Mao believes that in order to issue policies to attract mine owners and entrepreneurs to go to Shaliuhou State to develop metal mines by themselves, the prerequisite must be that the steam train from the Holy Land of Yidi Territory to Xirong City can run three times a day. To achieve this goal , then at least 4 more steam train locomotives must be equipped on that railway.
When he came to Liandao Locomotive Factory, Qu Mao went directly to the director of Liandao Locomotive Factory.
The director of Liandao Locomotive Factory heard Qu Mao's visit, hurried out to meet Qu Mao, and asked in panic, "My lord, why did you come here in person?"
Qu Mao said with a smile: "You don't have to panic, I'm here to learn about the production capacity and production plan of steam locomotives."
The director of Liandao Locomotive Works hurriedly said: "My lord, since the reinforced concrete buildings of Liandao Locomotive Works collapsed last time, all the workshops of the reinforced concrete buildings have entered the self-inspection mode.
In addition to the Liandao Locomotive Factory, there is also a Tassel Empire Locomotive Factory in the southeast coastal industrial cluster of the Eastern Continent Tassel Empire. The current capacity of the Liandao Locomotive Factory is to produce 7 steam locomotives a month, and the Tassel Empire Locomotive Factory a month. Production of 3 steam locomotives, the total production capacity has reached 10 steam locomotives per month.
Qu Mao nodded and said, "Well, the production capacity is not too small, and we may need to continue to equip steam locomotives for the railway leading to Xirong City..." Before Qu Mao finished speaking, the director of Liandao Locomotive Factory With a bitter face, he hesitated to speak. After Qu Mao discovered this, he asked in surprise, "Why? Is it difficult?
Tell me yourself that the current production capacity of the locomotive factory can produce 10 steam locomotives a month. I need to equip more steam locomotives for the railway to Xirong City. I don’t want you to replenish them tomorrow, but two locomotives a month. Or all three. "
The director of Liandao Locomotive Factory said with a bitter face: "My lord, the Ministry of Iron and Fire is building the third locomotive factory in the Mughal Empire. At the same time, it is also preparing for the fourth locomotive factory and the fifth locomotive factory in the Dali Kingdom and Hongye Kingdom. factory.
It is said that this plan will continue to increase the production capacity of steam locomotives, but the speed of railway construction under the responsibility of the Ministry of Railways and Fire is much faster than the production speed of locomotives.
The various railways on the main continent of the Eastern Continent have not yet been networked. Each independent railway needs to be equipped with at least one steam train locomotive. The underground railway network of the Holy Land is basically connected, but the underground railways leading to the five continents are not only extremely long , and it cannot be connected with other underground railways in the Holy Land.
The independent territories of the Eastern Continent have planning and construction of branch railways. If they are not equipped with steam locomotives, then the railways will be wasted if they are repaired.
To be honest, the output of the Liandao Locomotive Factory has been scheduled to the middle of the 15th year of Tianxuan, and the output of the Tassel Empire Locomotive Factory has been scheduled to the end of the 16th year of Tianxuan. Even the Mughal Empire Locomotive Factory that is still under construction The output has been scheduled to the end of the sixteenth year of Tianxuan. "
Qu Mao looked at the director of Liandao Locomotive Factory in astonishment. After thinking about it for a while, what the director of Liandao Locomotive Factory said was probably true. After all, Qu Mao had just spent more than three months inspecting the independent territories of the Eastern Continent. , Most of the means of transportation are steam trains. Qu Mao has personally experienced the development of railways on the main continent of the Eastern Continent.
Frowning and thinking for a long time, Qu Mao sighed, and said: "You and the Ministry of Iron and Fire should discuss countermeasures as soon as possible, the development of the Shaliuhou Kingdom is currently the top priority of Emperor Yi's territory.
No matter what method you adopt, I hope that before the end of June, the steam train to Xirong City in the Western Continent can be operated at least twice a day; before the end of July, it can be operated three times a day.
This must be guaranteed first. If you can’t do it, you can postpone the deployment of steam locomotives on other railways. The Kingdom of Shaliu can’t continue to involve the energy of the Holy Land.
Although this order is very rough, you should overcome difficulties and complete it. "
After assigning the task to the director of Liandao Locomotive Factory, Qu Mao didn’t bother to visit the production of Liandao Locomotive Factory, and went directly to the entrance of the underground world to prepare supplies for the departure of the steam train the next day.
