Chapter 744
While carrying out population migration and post-disaster reconstruction, Perficote is also inspecting the factories that have resumed work and production.
The snowstorm affects not only people's livelihood, but also industry.
The factory's raw material input relies heavily on railway traffic. When railway traffic is interrupted, the factory has no raw materials for production, thus falling into the dilemma of shutdown.
Not only industrial production, but also factories related to people's livelihood have been greatly affected.
As soon as the blizzard stopped, Perficote ordered the factory to resume work and production, and she is here to inspect the resumption of work and production. "Is there any difficulty in resuming work in the factory now?" Perficot inspected the factory and asked the factory manager who was following him.
Faced with Perficote's inquiry, the factory manager hurriedly said: "At present, it is mainly a problem of raw materials. Although we obtained new raw materials as soon as possible after the railway was restored, the railway is currently underway. The main transportation capacity is still the recovery of the affected areas, and there is not much transportation capacity for us.
So although the factory resumes production, it can only operate at low load now. If you want to restore to normal production, you still need to It is only possible to wait until the railways return to normal. "
Faced with the problems reported by the factory manager, Perficote just nodded to show that he knew.
No one can forcefully change this matter. Although the railway has resumed operation, it is only the main lines have been opened. Many narrow-gauge branches leading to mines and other places are still blocked.
In this case, it is obviously unrealistic to expect the railway to provide enough transportation capacity for the factory to transport industrial raw materials.
So Perficote can only let the factory endure temporarily and overcome the difficulties during this period.
——
After the inspection, the factory returned, Perficote, who was sitting in the steam carriage, said to the secretary beside him: "For a record, give priority to the restoration of steel smelting and mechanical manufacturing," The industry's production capacity will enhance the priority of the supply recovery of related industrial raw materials."
In post-disaster reconstruction, all kinds of matters have priority, and urgent matters are generally given priority and will be guaranteed first.
Generally speaking, the most priority is undoubtedly the transportation of various disaster relief materials, and everything must make way for disaster relief.
The second is roads being opened, and their priority is not lower than disaster relief supplies. In many cases, disaster relief supplies have to make way for them.
After all, the roads have not been opened and disaster relief materials cannot be transported.
But under this, the priority of various things is said.
Various production materials, coal burning, post-disaster reconstruction materials, etc., are different and have their own reasons. How to priorities is a test of the coordination ability.
Even Perficote needs the entire civil servant group in the North to cooperate with her. After all, many things need to be done by grassroots personnel themselves.
It's not that she sits in the office to make a plan, and everything will follow the plan.
Many times, the planning is very good, but various problems often arise during the implementation process. At this time, the executors need to adapt flexibly according to the actual situation, and the plan makers are also It needs to be adjusted in time according to actual conditions.
If everything is insisted on following the original plan, it may often lead to failure in the end.
This is also how Perficote works. She will constantly check the implementation of her plan and then fine-tune it according to the situation to ensure that the general direction is good and make the details more in line with the actual situation. For example, divide a plan into several projects, and then leave enough room for each project to ensure that when there is a problem, it will not affect other projects.
Or can coordinate other projects to avoid being affected when there is a problem with one project and ensure the smooth progress of the entire plan.
Rather than having one plan to go hand in hand, one project progress delays, other projects have to wait for it.
But at present, Perficote needs to adjust the original post-disaster reconstruction plan, in addition to adjusting it based on the actual situation of the factory, she also has another plan herself.
This plan is too large, and after Perficote conceived this plan, it also needed to coordinate from multiple parties to ensure the accurate implementation of the plan.
Not only that, Perficote also needs to carry out a lot of preparations, and the current adjustments are only part of the preparations.
"The steel production is not enough, if you use alchemy..." Take out a notebook, Perficote looked at the data recorded on it, and his face was not optimistic: "I want to implement the plan, now Some steel production needs to double, and steel mills can solve it, but iron ore...
The oil industry can be vigorously developed, but there are still too few application scenarios now. Now we are vigorously promoting oil and gas projects... "
Perficote has too many things to think about and plan. Now it is not just the northern border, but the burden of the entire Victorian Empire is on her shoulders, which makes her think about many problems. When it comes to consideration, what needs to be considered more comprehensively.
The oil project was something she had been developing and researching since she arrived in the North, but it has to be said that the promotion of this matter was far from as fast as she expected.
After all, the productivity improvement brought by the steam engine has not reached the extreme, so I was thinking about bringing the internal combustion engine to the dining table, which is really too urgent.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
As for petrochemicals...Perficote has been doing too much in recent years and has not been concerned about this matter. However, the oil fractionation smelting equipment built in Death Valley was still very good at working. The environment provides a continuous stream of fuel, lubricating oil and asphalt functions or oil products of different uses.
The lubricant in it was a huge supplement to the empire. After all, before the oil lubricant was discovered, humans could only use natural animal oils.
The most used amount is the so-called whale oil, which is the oil extracted from whale meat.
This is a very high-quality fuel and lubricant. It was widely used in the industry before the emergence of synthetic lubricants, which also allowed the whaling industry to flourish.
But with the arrival of the cold winter of the doomsday, whaling has become a luxury, and lubricating oil extracted from oil has become the new darling of various industries in the North.
This also promoted the development of the oil industry in another aspect, but it produced a large number of by-products of oil fractionation accordingly.
Fuel and asphalt are pretty good, at least the fuel has been put on the shelves by the North Frontier Officials. After Perficote designed a kerosene blowtorch and fuel heater, these things are still in the market.
Asphalt is also widely used in the construction industry, and this thing is a very practical building material for waterproofing.
Just other things separated from oil have become less easy to deal with.
These are all obstacles to Perficote's promotion of the oil industry, and have also made the development of the oil industry in the north relatively slow. In a few years, the only oil industry, Death Valley, is still the only one.
