Chapter 208 The dispute between internal combustion engines and electric locomotives
The other side.
Director Jia of the passenger transport workshop made three or four phone calls.
Promising various benefits, the other party initially agreed.
But a moment later, when he called back, the other party rejected Director Jia without hesitation.
And it was also mentioned in a very subtle way that this time the Lufeng Office sent deputy director Liu Guozhang down.
Director Jia has never dealt with Liu Guozhang.
I have also heard that this person is an old man who does not eat old-fashioned food and does not eat oil and salt.
I instantly gave up the idea of rescuing the old turtle.
Instead, he began to distance himself from responsibility and avoid implicating himself.
Fortunately, this guy, Lao Turtle, is very smart.
In the past, whether sending things or money, it was done secretly, without leaving any finishing touches.
After all, he is a middle-level cadre of the locomotive depot. As long as he firmly refuses to admit it, there is nothing the Lufeng Office can do against him.
Director Jia was already weathered and gradually calmed down.
He returned to his desk, pulled out a piece of manuscript paper, and began to write a thought report.
Wait until evening.
The inspector from the Lufeng Office came to the door, took out his ID and waved it in front of him.
"Are you Jia Zhengyi? Now I suspect that you are related to a temporary worker named Wang Erzhangzi. Please come with us."
It is time to get off work.
People coming and going in front of the office building.
Director Jia was taken away by the uniformed inspector from the Lufeng Office.
Li Aiguo happened to get off work and bumped into Director Jia face to face.
The two looked at each other silently, Director Jia lowered his head.
He clenched his fists tightly and said to himself: Damn little driver, when labor and management get through this crisis this time, you will be able to look after you in the future.
Li Aiguo suddenly stopped and stopped in front of the inspector, pretending to be angry: "Two comrade inspectors, why did you take away Director Jia from our workshop?
Director Jia has always He is strict with himself and has a high level of thinking. He is a role model in our passenger transport workshop. How could he make mistakes? "
Li Aiguo's voice was loud and soon attracted the attention of many employees, who gathered around him. Come over.
Pointing at Director Jia.
“Isn’t this the old man from the passenger transport workshop? How could he be taken away by the inspector?”
“What else could be the reason? He must have made a mistake!”
"I really can't tell. Lao Jia is usually quite positive."
"What do you know? This is called talking about benevolence, justice and morality, but in fact it is full of bad things."
"The leader's He's a liar, don't listen to what he says, watch what he does!"
Under the scorching sun.
The discussion among the employees made Director Jia breathless. His white shirt was soaked with sweat, and there were dense beads of sweat on his forehead.
Now that I am finished, even if I can withstand the pressure and survive the inspection by the Road and Wind Office, my bad reputation has been lost.
If it were possible, he would have rushed forward now and tore Li Aiguo into pieces.
What's even more annoying is that he can't accuse Li Aiguo of wrongdoing.
After all, people are also caring about him.
In the locomotive depot, few people had the courage to stop Lu Feng for inspection.
The two inspectors were also stunned for a moment.
After recognizing Li Aiguo as the young driver on the train, he nodded slightly and explained: "We are not in a position to explain the details, but don't worry, we will never wrongly accuse a good person."
"Then I'm sorry to bother you. My Director Jia is an honest leader. He will never accept gifts from others, nor will he deliberately embarrass employees in the workshop, let alone suppress employees."
Since I’ve broken my heart, I don’t need to save my face for you.
Li Aiguo told all the bad things Director Jia had done.
If it were in future generations, once Director Jia didn't go in this time, he would definitely be in the shoes of others in the future.
However, in this era when workers are the largest.
As long as they are aboveboard and achieve production goals with quality and quantity, few people will be afraid of their leaders.
If you dare to do something secretly, I will rush into the office.
First I'll give you a good punch, and then I'll carry you outside so that all the employees in the maintenance department can see how ugly you are.
A leader who was retained before liberation still had an old-school style and used his status as a leader to bully the workers.
It has been rectified in this way.
Not only were the employees who caused the trouble not criticized, they were later rated as advanced.
The leader was demoted to the bottom and sent to the maintenance station to knock rocks.
The onlookers were now even more angry.
A few young people have already linked their arms and want to go up and teach Director Jia a lesson.
Director Jia was so frightened that he was sweating profusely and trembling all over.
But you can't stop it with words.
After all, Li Aiguo was interceding for him.
To stop Li Aiguo at this time, wouldn't it be a guilty conscience, and he would be convicted of those crimes.
I can only curse over and over again in my heart: This kid is so cruel.
This feeling is so frustrating.
Finally, the two inspectors figured out the clues.
For fear of the employees rushing up, he quickly left the scene with Director Jia.
After they leave.
Zhang Yazhi's eyes widened in excitement: "It's better now. Director Jia must have been taken away because of Lao Turtle's matter. Maybe he will be sentenced to a few years, so we don't have to be bullied by him. "
"You think too simply. How can an old fox like this be brought down so easily?" Li Aiguo was also in a good mood.
Even if Director Jia escapes this time, his future is over.
Zhang Yazhi also knows that railway leaders like Director Jia who have climbed up from the grassroots have always been rigorous in doing things.
He has deep connections with all parties. Without real evidence and relying only on Lao Turtle’s confession, it would be difficult to crucify him.
Zhang Yazhi sighed with some regret: "It's such a pity. How can a person like Jia Zhengyi, who has no ideological consciousness and a small belly, be a leader!"
"It's okay. As the saying goes, if you do evil, you will die. There will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”
I returned to the dormitory, took a shower, and put on my big pants.
Li Aiguo originally planned to ride his bicycle back to the courtyard.
Just walked into the corridor.
I was pulled into the dormitory next door by a white and slender hand.
“Patriotic brother, please don’t leave yet. I’m asking you to do me a favor.” There was a blush all over Zhang Yazhi’s beautiful dimples.
The so-called help turned out to be asking Li Aiguo to help her.
In the next half hour, Li Aiguo and Zhang Yazhi pulled out the radishes planted on the balcony.
Let her see what it means.
On a single bed in a hot dormitory.
After a long time, he finally recovered.
Li Aiguo stood up and wiped off his sweat with a towel, frowned and said, "Sister Yazhi, this Tongzilou is hot in summer and cold in winter, so there is no time to feel comfortable. You should rent a private house and move out as soon as possible."
"I think so too, but renting a house now costs 1 yuan and 50 cents more per month, and the house is not very good."
Zhang Yazhi sat up and held a cattail leaf fan. Fan Li Aiguo.
"When I save some money, I might as well buy a house."
Zhang Yazhi came up and said in a consultative tone: "I have inquired about the houses near our locomotive depot. It only costs about 150 yuan for a two-room apartment.”
“You can indeed buy a house, but you have to make sure that the house is a private house. Don’t buy a public house from someone else’s unit. It will be unclear when the time comes. "
"Don't worry, it's an uncle of mine who pulls the hair."
Seeing Li Aiguo's approval, Zhang Yazhi made up her mind to buy a house.
Her monthly salary plus subsidy is more than fifty yuan.
In addition to transporting goods with Li Aiguo, I can get seventy or eighty yuan a month.
As long as you save for three months, you can buy a house.
A house for three months is still within the third ring road of Beijing. This is simply unimaginable in later generations.
Li Aiguo sighed for a while, got dressed and left the dormitory.
He had made an appointment with teacher Liu Guozhang before and was going to visit Liu's house in the evening.
Li Aiguo is full of admiration for Teacher Liu Guozhang.
After all, in that era, one dared to give up a high-paying job without hesitation, risk one's life, and bravely plunge into the tide of the times.
If you are not determined, there is no way to do it.
Riding on a tandem bicycle, while it was still dark at the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Aiguo bought two bottles of Laofen wine, and then went to a pastry shop to weigh a box of bad wine.
Liu Guozhang's home is located in Wudaoying Hutong.
Many buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties have been preserved here, with narrow and simple streets and a dazzling array of shops.
The Liu family is an exclusive courtyard. Judging from the style of the house, it should be an ancestral home.
Knock on the door.
The person who opened the door was a middle-aged lesbian wearing a gray tunic suit.
Lesbians have crisp, ear-length hair.
She has a plump head, frowning eyebrows, and a high nose. Although she is over thirty, she can still vaguely look like she was young. She must be a great beauty.
Li Aiguo never fights an unprepared battle and understood the situation of the Liu family before coming.
This woman is called Fang Shilan.
My background is somewhat special. Before liberation, I was the daughter of a big capitalist. Because of my pursuit of advancement, I also entered the trend of the times.
During the battle, he formed a deep friendship with Liu Guozhang.
After liberation.
Because Fang Shilan's father had problems, an old leader once persuaded Liu Guozhang to find another woman with an innocent background.
Liu Guozhang, however, insisted on going his own way and insisted on marrying Fang Shilan. While they became a couple of gods and gods, his career was also affected.
Otherwise.
With the work Liu Guozhang did before liberation, he will not be trapped in the Railway Bureau now.
“Comrade, what are you?” Fang Shilan was surprised.
Li Aiguo smiled: "Ms. Fang, I am Teacher Liu's student, and I have made an appointment with Teacher Liu."
"You are the train driver student, come in quickly, Old Liu just now Still talking about you."
Hearing this, Fang Shilan suddenly became enthusiastic and invited Li Aiguo into the yard.
The yard is simple and elegant, with blue bricks on the floor, a walnut tree in the corner, and several flower pots under the eaves, with bright flowers blooming inside.
Fang Shilan shouted into the main room: "Old Liu, the patriotic comrade is here."
At this time Liu Guozhang walked out of the main room.
He wore a brown coat and old-fashioned pajamas. He was a little less dignified and a little more elegant than when he was in the maintenance section.
Li Aiguo smiled and called teacher.
"Come into the room and talk." Liu Guozhang nodded, glanced at the gift in Li Aiguo's hand, and said nothing.
The furnishings in the house are much better than those in the homes of residents in the courtyard.
Wooden upholstered sofa, smooth terrazzo on the floor, and three or four picture frames hung on the wall.
There is a radio on the eight-drawer cabinet, and there is a sewing machine in the corner, covered with white cloth embroidered with lace. Liu Guozhang did not stay, but pushed open the next room.
The room is filled with books and a desk, and it looks like it should be a study.
Li Aiguo changed into slippers and followed in.
I sat down generously on the chair with sofa cushions.
This thing is really soft, just like the latex cushions of later generations. If you have a chance, you have to make one at home.
Liu Guozhang sat at his desk, exchanged greetings with Li Aiguo and asked about his current situation.
After learning that he had only entered the locomotive depot this year and had obtained the status of advanced railway workers, he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
“I understand the situation in the locomotive depot. To be able to stand out from dozens of train drivers is worthy of being my student, Lao Liu.”
“You taught me back then that you must do a job of love. Yi Xing, since I have become a train driver, I will become the best train driver."
Liu Guozhang raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo: "You have ambitions, but"
Fang Shilan came in. Pouring tea for the two of them interrupted the conversation for two days.
She was making dinner and asked Li Aiguo if he had any taboo foods.
After getting the answer, he looked at Liu Guozhang with a smile: "Old Liu, we have agreed that we cannot talk about work at home. If I hear this, you will violate discipline."
Liu Guozhang couldn't laugh or cry: "Why are you bringing this up in front of your children?
Besides, hasn't your matter been finalized?! You and your father have long had nothing to do with each other."
Fang Shilan still wanted to say a few words, but when he saw Li Aiguo also raised his head, he smiled awkwardly, turned around and left.
The content of the two chatters was very vague, and Li Aiguo also made a guess.
It must be because of Fang Shilan’s identity.
"Your wife is like this. She is in her thirties, but she still looks like a child."
Liu Guozhang explained with a smile, took a sip of tea, and then said: "You As a driver of a steam engine locomotive, I have done a good job, but the times are developing. Now foreign countries are popularizing new locomotives, and the country will soon follow, and you must keep up."
Sure enough. It was the teacher. After a few words, the class started.
Li Aiguo straightened his chest and nodded: "Our locomotive depot also distributed information on internal combustion engines and electric locomotives for us train drivers to learn."
When it came to work, Liu Guozhang suddenly became energetic and curious. asked: "Which do you think is more suitable for us, the internal combustion engine or the electric locomotive?"
Li Aiguo was stunned for a moment.
Why should the deputy director of the Railway Bureau’s Road Traffic Management Office care about this?
Looking around, he noticed that Liu Guozhang's desk and bookshelf were filled with various locomotive-related books, many of which were in Russian.
Li Aiguo remembered what he had heard and asked curiously: "Teacher, I heard that you are going to be promoted."
Liu Guozhang took a deep look at Li Aiguo and praised you, boy. The news is quite good.
Because it was a teacher-student relationship, he did not hide it.
"Your wife's problem has been basically investigated, and my superiors decided to transfer me to work at the Railway Research Institute of the Ministry of Railways as the deputy director."
Li Aiguo's eyes suddenly widened.
The Railway Research Institute of the Ministry of Railways is a research institute established by the Ministry of Railways to develop the railway industry.
In addition to researching locomotives, it also has direct jurisdiction over local research institutes.
For example, Professor Dong of Sifang Factory is, to a certain extent, under the management of the Railway Research Institute.
The Railway Research Institute seems to have little reputation. Many people have never heard of it, but its rank is not low. The deputy director is on the same level as the director of the rolling mill.
And Liu Guozhang is now less than forty years old and his future can be imagined.
"Congratulations, teacher, for taking another step forward." Li Aiguo stood up and said.
Liu Guozhang waved his hand: "We have a teacher-student relationship, so don't do this with me. You are a front-line worker, and your knowledge of trains may, to a certain extent, far exceed those of researchers. I I’m not sure about something, and I’d like to ask for your opinion.”
Liu Guozhang was a teacher before liberation.
At that time, the teacher-student relationship was an ironclad one.
The saying that once a teacher is always a husband is not an empty talk.
Li Aiguo naturally would not refuse and listened attentively.
Original.
There are now disagreements within the Railway Research Institute about the development direction of trains.
One group suggests following the world trend and developing diesel locomotives step by step like Europe, America and Big Brother.
The other group proposed that more advanced electric locomotives should be developed.
Compared with internal combustion engines, electric locomotives have higher speed and traction, and are also more environmentally friendly. Their future prospects will far exceed those of internal combustion engines.
Just like the first car in the world was an electric car.
Electric locomotives also appeared earlier than internal combustion engines.
Just because of technical reasons, it has not been developed for a long time, and later it was surpassed by the internal combustion engine.
In fact, since liberation, China has realized the advanced nature of electric locomotives and began to study electric locomotives.
Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory, with the help of experts from Suzhou, is manufacturing my country's first electric locomotive, the 6Y1 main line electric locomotive.
"Actually, I am inclined to continue studying electric locomotives, but look at this."
Liu Guozhang sighed, picked up an internal reference material, and handed it to Li Aiguo.
On the rough paper, there are printed words.
"The trial operation of Zhuzhou Electric Locomotive Factory's 6Y1 main line electric locomotive failed, and huge amounts of money were wasted. Who is responsible? 》
The content of the article is very simple.
The 6Y1 mainline electric locomotive was returned to the factory for repairs because the ignition tube as the main rectifier did not work properly during the operation test of the locomotive on the circular railway.
The above also fiercely accused the institute of insisting on researching electric locomotives and insisting on walking on the wrong path.
At present, Big Brother and European and American countries are vigorously researching diesel locomotives.
The institute should correct its mistakes, follow the world trend, and abandon electric locomotives.
After reading it, Li Aiguo called him a good guy in his heart.
He was reading in the railway's internal newspaper a while ago and saw that the research on the 6Y1 main line electric locomotive was going smoothly and it was estimated that it would be installed soon.
Li Aiguo still felt strange at that time.
Because in his memory, several electric locomotive models studied in China in this era all ended in failure.
It turned out to be a failure.
But it was not announced to the public, but was published in the internal reference.
Liu Guozhang continued from the side: "According to the institute's plan, there will be several types of electric locomotive research projects in the future.
It's just that now someone has taken a shot at the internal reference.< br>
The department had doubts about electric locomotives and felt they were too expensive, and now there was even more hesitation within the institute
Because of the failure of the 6Y1 mainline electric locomotive project, some comrades were also shaken.
Once I take office, I will face difficult choices. "
Li Aiguo put down the newspaper and looked at Liu Guozhang: "Teacher, you should have studied locomotives. You should know that the internal combustion engine is a mature technology. Foreign countries have almost mastered this technology and have used technology patents. , a moat was built.
Even if we spend energy and time to continue to study diesel locomotives, it will be difficult to make a breakthrough. ”
Liu Guozhang looked at Li Aiguo in surprise. The average train driver can only understand electric locomotives and diesel locomotives, which is already considered qualified.
But this guy can think of the subsequent development and its pattern. And the vision has surpassed those of the leaders in the institute.
"You continue. ”
“Although electric locomotives are developing slowly, once the technology matures, they will inevitably replace fuel locomotives. We should develop electric locomotives in advance to achieve overtaking on corners! "Li Aiguo looked serious.
"Overtaking in corners. This is a good concept! ”
Liu Guozhang praised repeatedly.
He stood up and took out a pack of white cigarettes from the drawer and took out two cigarettes.
Pass one to Li Aiguo and light one himself.
Take a deep breath, and gradually relax his frown, "We are surrounded by enemies, and imperialism is selfless. If we don't find a new path, we can only follow others and eat leftovers. .
This may not matter to some smaller ones.
But we have a population of one hundred million. Imperialism will not allow us to grow.
We will never allow our lifeline to be pinched by others.
It’s just”
Liu Guozhang hesitated for a moment, raised his head and looked at Li Aiguo: “As for the waste of internal reference, what do you think? What do you think?”
Li Aiguo smoked happily and smiled:
"Teacher, no technology can be achieved overnight. If you want to do something unprecedented, you have to spend more effort than others.
Don't newspapers often advocate that predecessors plant trees for future generations to enjoy the shade?"
In the memory of Li Aiguo.
It was the domestic railway research institute that persisted in researching electric locomotives and achieved the final victory.
From the 6Y1 electric locomotive, to the SS1 electric locomotive, and then to the SS2 electric locomotive.
In the end, the SS3 electric locomotive, the first mainline electric locomotive for both passenger and cargo use, was developed.
Later, the SS electric locomotive continued to develop and developed into the SS9G electric locomotive.
The country finally had a complete set of research and manufacturing technologies to produce the Harmony electric locomotive.
If you give up now.
In the future, domestic electric locomotives will have to rely on foreign imports.
Think about chips
A chill ran down Li Aiguo's back.
It was from the overall situation that Liu Guozhang realized this and advocated vigorous development of electric locomotives.
After listening to Li Aiguo's words, this idea became even stronger.
He was smoking a cigarette, his eyes slightly narrowed, and he was lost in thought in the light smoke.
Perhaps we should write an article on Internal Reference with the title of ‘Overtaking on a Corner’ to eliminate those negative effects.
Sometimes.
A loud slogan may completely change the situation.
Years of training have also taught this old teacher who only does reckless things for the sake of his faith to use flexible strategies at work.
We talked about things, had dinner, and did some household chores.
Seeing that it was almost nine o'clock in the evening, Li Aiguo stood up and left.
"Patriot, you must come to my house often in the future."
"Don't worry, teacher, I will always bother you."
Liu Guozhang sent him to the road outside. , then turned around and returned to the small courtyard.
Fang Shilan was squatting by the pool, washing the dishes. When she saw him coming back, she raised her head and said with a smile: "Old Liu, I didn't expect you to have such a promising student.
He was awarded the title of Advanced Railway Worker at a young age, and he might be able to become the leader of the locomotive depot in the future. "
"You still underestimated him. He just talked about train technical issues casually. , He speaks eloquently and is more professional than some researchers with a professional background.
Also, this guy is very knowledgeable about the world and is very flexible. He is a talent that can be created. , it’s a pity to stay in the locomotive depot as a train driver.
I guess it won’t be long before I have to find a way to transfer him to the research institute.”
Thinking of Li Aiguo's "curvy overtaking" just now, Liu Guozhang was filled with admiration from the bottom of his heart.
This slogan is concise and concise, yet loud enough, and has philosophical truth, which is comparable to the slogans in newspapers.
Li Aiguo can pick it up easily. It’s incredible!
Fang Shilan pursed her lips and smiled: "The train driver is a worker. Although the salary is lower, it is stable and not affected by wind and waves. Do you need your kindness?"
Being His wife was insulted, but Liu Guozhang couldn't refute it. After all, Fang Shilan had indeed suffered a lot of grievances a while ago.
"Daughter-in-law, come here, I will help you wash your clothes."
"Go, go, go, you should study your motorcycle."
The small courtyard is full of people A cheerful atmosphere.
