Chapter 464 Black Technology (Second update, please subscribe)
“A person with a solid warehouse knows etiquette, and with enough food and clothing, he knows honor and disgrace.”
For a culture to develop, it must first have a solid storehouse and sufficient food and clothing. If the people don't even have enough to eat, how can we talk about building a country through culture?
The "Five-Year Plan for Cultural Revitalization" only outlines a context, but what is the real core?
It’s industry!
It is to increase people's income.
Not only must people be fed, but they must also be well fed. Only when people eat well will they think about other things.
Just like Hoover's beautiful promise that "every American has a chicken in the pot and a car." The first goal to be achieved is to eat chicken. That is to solve the problem of eating.
It can be seen that eating has always been an extremely important issue for politicians all over the world.
The ancestors saw this very clearly - "Only when you are full and warm can you think about lust." If you can't even eat enough, everything is empty talk.
In fact, the problem of eating in Nanyang is not serious. As a tropical country, although the land in Borneo is barren due to rainforest leaching, thanks to the developed fertilizer industry in Nanyang, the barrenness of the land has not affected Nanyang's agriculture. Production.
At that time, Nanyang not only dismantled several fertilizer plants from Germany, but also brought back some fertilizer plant equipment from Japan, thus establishing Nanyang's fertilizer industry. Later, through the import of large-scale fertilizer equipment from countries such as the United States and the United States, Nanyang's fertilizers were not only suitable for self-use, but also exported to various parts of Southeast Asia on a large scale.
“...Now our company has completed the basic design of a 200,000-ton ammonia plant. Because Sarawak is rich in natural gas, we chose to use natural gas as raw material. Compared with coal, its output is higher. High..."
Although the factory area of Tianfeng Chemical Company was filled with a choking smell of rotten eggs, Li Yian still listened to Harsch's report with great interest.
“After completion, it will be the largest ammonia plant in the world,”
Harsch specifically emphasized "the world's largest". There is no other reason, because everyone likes the best in the world, which can inspire people's pride.
Yangfeng Chemical Industry is the largest fertilizer company in Nanyang. Most of its management and technical personnel are from Germany. Before the war, Germany had the most developed fertilizer industry in the world. By recruiting technical personnel in related fields, Nanyang's fertilizer industry technology level has always been at the forefront of the world.
“The current use of natural gas is limited to residential life. There is a surplus of natural gas in the oil fields, so it is perfect to use it to produce synthetic ammonia.”
Li Yian pointed to the synthesis tower in the distance. , asked.
“What is the company’s annual output now? How much of it is old equipment?”
"The annual output is 1.2 million tons, of which 450,000 tons are used in old equipment. They all use coal as raw material, have low production efficiency and high cost. We plan to completely eliminate them in three to five years."
Listening to Harsch's answer, Li Yian thought for a moment and said.
“Although the 200,000-ton equipment is very large, in terms of production, the larger the scale, the lower the cost. The company should increase its technological development efforts and strive to solve the problem of 300,000-ton production. The design of process and equipment, as for the old factory..."
Looking at the factories dismantled from Germany and Japan, Li Yian naturally thought of Tangshan. Compared with Nanyang, Tangshan is not rich in natural gas. Production equipment using coal as raw material is undoubtedly more suitable for local realities, and agricultural production there also requires fertilizer production equipment.
“You can set up a company in Hong Kong and sell those sets of old equipment to Tangshan. After the war is over, there will definitely enter post-war reconstruction. It is better to export the old equipment to them than to directly eliminate it. Well! ”
After thinking about it, Li Yian added.
“As for the payment method, it can be more flexible. It doesn’t have to be cash or gold. You can use barter. Rare metal ores and agricultural products are all needed by Nanyang. After talking to them, I believe this market should still be It's very vast. "Even antiques are fine. In short, there are many goods that Nanyang needs.
The reason why Li Yian thought of the Tangshan market was not just because these sets of fertilizer production equipment were urgently needed in Tangshan and could even survive, but more importantly, , in another world, after Tangshan broke with the Soviet Union, it began to introduce urgently needed technical equipment in oil and other fields from Japan. One thing is certain, Japan's oil and other equipment manufacturing industry lagged far behind its European and American counterparts at that time, but it did not This hindered Tangshan from introducing Japanese equipment at high prices, and Japan's petrochemical and other equipment manufacturing industries have, to a certain extent, achieved their rise by relying on Tangshan's orders.
In line with the idea that instead of taking advantage of others, it is better to take advantage of yourself, follow the path of others, and leave others with no way to go. Li Yian hopes to cooperate with Tangshan before Japan enters the Tangshan market. future market space.
"What you said is true. There is a market of hundreds of millions of people, and hundreds of thousands of tons of fertilizers need to be imported every year. If we can enter the Tangshan market, we will definitely get huge returns. I believe that with the advent of peace, Tangshan will need at least Import 2 million tons of chemical fertilizers for agricultural production."
Looking at Harshi's confident look, he looked like he would definitely be able to open up the Tangshan market, Li Yi said with peace of mind.
"You guys are overthinking. Changchun and Jinling are different. It is still possible to sell production equipment to Tangshan in the future. As for selling fertilizers... don't think about it for now."
Why don't you think about it?
Because Tangshan pays more attention to the introduction of equipment for production rather than the import of finished products.
However, Li Yian did not dissipate his enthusiasm, and even gave him some encouragement. Who knows, what if the market can really be opened?
Even if the fertilizer market cannot be opened, it is still very necessary to open the market for fertilizer manufacturing equipment. Maybe, the introduction of 13 sets of large equipment in another era can be greatly advanced, and this can also promote Nanyang The development of equipment manufacturing industry.
At the same time, it can also greatly alleviate Tangshan's demand for chemical fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers, resulting in a huge increase in grain yield. This will fundamentally change the current situation of food shortage in Tangshan and enable more people to have enough to eat.
After inspecting the chemical company, Li Yian went to the company's research institute to inspect. Tianfeng Chemical Industry Company's production is not limited to chemical fertilizers. The company also produces chemical fibers, including chemical fiber. Other chemical products.
“We are currently cooperating with British Imperial Chemical to introduce polyester production technology, which is a new type of chemical fiber raw material. Currently, a polyester production plant with an annual output of 16,000 tons is under construction. Taking into account the development of the domestic garment industry For development, we are combining Imperial Chemical’s technology to research new production technologies to achieve complete technological independence.”
Polyester is the basic material for the production of polyester, the same as Germany, France and Italy, and even DuPont in the United States. Of course, Nanyang is not immune, and it also introduced technology from the British Imperial Chemical Industry.
Although companies in Nanyang have always enjoyed the dividends of Santoku, to a certain extent, Nanyang has now reached or even surpassed the British and American levels in some technical fields. This is basically due to the gift from Sandoku. However, while absorbing Sandoku's technology, it also actively introduces technologies from Britain, the United States and other countries, and polyester production technology is one of them.
After listening to Harsch’s report, Li Yian said.
“The route of technology introduction itself is to introduce, absorb and then innovate. Now in many technical fields, we are on the same starting line as the United Kingdom and the United States. By seizing the current opportunities, we will surely be able to develop independent knowledge Only then can we export Nanyang’s technical equipment to other countries!”
Once again, Li Yi’an mentioned the export of “technical equipment”. The reason why he mentioned this in this era is that The export of seemingly distant technologies and large-scale industrial equipment is because this is the inevitable result of Nanyang's industrial upgrading.
People who have no long-term worries must have short-term worries. Industrial upgrading must have long-term planning from the beginning. Only in this way can we continuously eliminate backward production capacity at the appropriate time, thereby realizing the transformation of national industrial production and science and technology.
As for the market for large industrial equipment, Tangshan must be included. Moreover, the production equipment that Nanyang can provide in the future will also be what they need.
After all. Chemical fertilizers make you full, and chemical fibers make you warm. In this era, these two are undoubtedly black technologies, and they are also black technologies related to the lives of hundreds of millions of people.
They will definitely not ignore it...
