“Long-distance natural gas compressors!”

The chief engineer Zhong Zhuoyuan put a strange light in his eyes and murmured the word.

It was the night of the arrival of Wang Zhenbin and others.After Feng Xiaochen relayed the matter about the West-East Gas Compressor Project to Pan Caishan, Pan Caishan did not delay for a moment, and immediately let people inform the factory leaders and the chief engineers, technical directors, production directors, finance ministers and others to the factory department to hold an emergency meeting.

After the arrival of the people, Pan Caishan did not say anything, and directly informed the news brought by Feng Xiaochen to all the cadres attending the meeting.Some of these people have only come to the factory in recent years to work, do not know the introduction of compressor technology in the late 1970s, heard this news, some embarrassed.But others have been working for many years, experiencing the events of that year in person, and when they heard this, they suddenly moved up.

"Pan factory director, what you said is true, the state wants to engage in natural gas compressors?"With a little fear and a little excitement, Zhong Zhuoyuan confirmed the road to Pan Caishan.

Pan Caishan pointed to Feng Xiaochen with his finger and said, "This news was brought by Feng Assistant, or else, let him tell you."

Zhong Zhuoyuan turned his eyes to Feng Xiaochen, Feng Xiaochen smiled and said:

“The clock is actually clear.The idea of West-East gas transmission is not only available today, and it has been put forward in the 1970s, when we reintroduced this set of technology, which is also prepared for West-East gas transmission.Later, only because of the adjustment of the national economy, the natural gas development of the Sichuan Yu Basin was temporarily put on hold.

In recent years, the country's economic development has been rapid, and the problem of energy shortage in the east has become more and more serious.In addition, the living standards of the people have improved, many cities are promoting pipeline natural gas, and the problem of gas sources is also on the agenda.Therefore, the West-East gas transmission project will be started sooner or later.

The western gas to the east, the shortest distance is more than 1000 kilometers, the distance can even reach more than 4000 kilometers, according to every 200 kilometers to build a pressurized station, you calculate how many compressor units are needed?"

Zhong Zhuoyuan nodded slowly and said, "Assistant Feng said it was right, the compressor is something that our country will do sooner or later."Alas, unfortunately, it didn't stick to it, and now I want to pick it up again, it's too difficult."

Pan Caishan said, "Old clock, I don't know much about this matter, you should have participated in this incident, is it not for us to talk about it?"

Zhong Zhuoyuan said: “No problem.At that time, the country introduced the PCL compressor unit technology from Italy, which was undertaken by us.At that time, we were the leader of chemical equipment in the country, with strong technical strength, good quality of workers, and excellent equipment, and we did not take this technology, who dared to take it?

"Old clock, don't mention these brave years."The production director Xie Fugang half joking half seriously fork.He was also a heavy old man, originally as the workshop director, and later to the production department as the deputy director, this time Yi Yaozhong and others fell, the original production director also involved, Xie Fu was just promoted as the director.Hearing Zhong Zhuoyuan talk about the glory of the year, he was also full of emotion, can not help but Tucao said:

"At that time, the quality of our heavy workers really did not say.Italians came to us to the end, saw our equipment, shook our heads, said that we even introduced the technology, can not be manufactured, because our equipment is too backward, CNC machine tools do not have a few.As a result, we organized a group of teachers, who took old-fashioned machine tools to produce the prototype, and the accuracy of the processing made the Italians feel satisfied.”

“Now, can we still do it?”Pan Qianshan asked.

Xie Fu just shook his head and said, “I’m afraid it’s enough.”At that time, our factory had the so-called eight big Kong, and what are the eighteen rohan, are the most skilled old workers in each workshop, some teachers have been working in the factory at that time, to the 1970s, you count how many years of service, that technology is really high.But by the 1980s, these workers were retired and went home, and a new group of young people came in, and Dixco was in the line, and learning technology became a bear bag.Let these people go to the compressor, I'll see."

Pan Caishan nodded slightly and said, “I understand.Mr. Chung, tell me."

“All right.”Zhong Zhuoyuan responded, and then said just now: "We introduced PCL technology, but also produced a prototype, and later transferred to the Qingdong Province to use, I heard that the application effect is not bad."However, our manufacturing process at that time did have a problem, as Lao Xie said, it was processed by a group of senior technicians with old-fashioned ordinary machine tools, and the efficiency was too low.Later, the country did not order, we also gave up this technology, almost from 1978 to now, we have not produced a PCL compressor.

“If you pick it up now, can you still produce it?”Feng Xiaochen asked.

Zhong Zhuoyuan said: "The drawings of the year are still there, if it is produced as is, coupled with the ability to find a skilled worker, it should be no problem to produce a few more."However, we produced a 5 MW model, and this time West-East Gas Transmission needs 20 MW and 30 MW models, and we have to redesign it on the original basis.”

“Redesigning is not easy.”Wei Xuegen, director of the technical department, interjected, "The power is increased, but it is not simply to enlarge the parts in proportion, and various forces need to be recalculated."In addition, when we introduced the technology has been a generation behind, is the Italian 1960s technology, now are the 90s, we can not follow the original idea to develop new compressors, but to adopt some of the latest results, this is very difficult.

Zhang Yue said: "The director's concern, I understand that I have also grasped product development in the enterprise in the past, and I know the difficulty of developing a new product."Compressor this product, I have not touched, the director of the Department of Health can analyze, with our current technical strength, can not take the development and manufacturing tasks of the 20 MW unit.

"This ..." Wei Xuegen turned to see Zhong Zhuoyuan, Zhong Zhuoyuan hesitated for a moment and nodded gently.Wei Xuegen turned around and said: "If the factory can give enough support, our technical department is still confident to complete this design."As for the production, say it."

Xie Fugang said: "The same is true in terms of production, if there is a determination in the factory, we can do it."If the determination in the factory is not enough, it is not good to say."

Pan Caishan smiled, it is difficult to say that he was laughing with joy, or sneer, he said: "It seems that everyone feels that the determination in the factory is the most important."I would like to ask the Director of the Department of Health and the Director of the Department of Health, what do you mean by determination?”

“Inputs, and policies.”The science of the root.

“What kind of input, what kind of policy?”Pan Qianshan asked.

Wei Xuegen said: "Input, it is very simple, that is, the development of technology to use money."Small money will not say, to test large compressors, there is a need for a special compressor test bench.Build an experimental station, at least 5 million investment, I do not know whether the factory can afford.

“Five million!”Zhang Yue Tong said, “Chief of the Department of Defense, the support you requires is too great, right?”Pan and I smashed the pot and sold the iron can not take 5 million."

Pan Caishan said lightly: "If it is really necessary, it is okay to take 5 million dollars out of the factory, we can go to the bank to lend, which is a productive expenditure, the bank will support."In addition to the input, what do you just mean by the policy you just said?”

“I want to motivate technicians, I have to come up with visible benefits.If the compressor is successfully developed, the factory can not promise the award of the people, give them bonuses, salary increases, and divide the house."The science root.

Feng Xiaochen smiled, "Chief of the Department, how do I feel that you are fighting for your treatment."

Wei Xuegen was in a hurry, and he said with a red ear, “ assistant Feng, you have wronged me.”The conditions I just mentioned, I don’t want them myself at all.In fact, to develop a new type of compressor, I and the general staff of Zhong can only be consultants, and it is impossible to personally use them.We are old, we are not energetic, and our knowledge is aging, and we must be the young people who entered the factory a few years ago to be able to get this project.”

"Yes, neither the old man nor I can do it."Zhong Zhuoyuan also said, "The development of new models, need to have experience, but also need to have momentum, and this aspect must rely on those young people."I have learned that the young engineers who entered the factory in the past few years have a low general salary and heavy burden, and many people have just had children, which is the time when the pressure is greatest.If there is no heavy prize to attract them, it is difficult to motivate them.”

"Well, that's the question of social culture."Xie Fu just complained endlessly, "We are as young as they are, not also have a family, the burden of the family is very heavy."But who mentioned the conditions to the unit at that time?It is not the leader who does it day and night after day.”

Pan Caishan waved his hand and said, “It’s different now than it used to be.”In the past, everyone's life was similar, and no one earned more than anyone else.But now it is different, those township enterprises, as well as foreign companies, pay engineers several times as much as we do, and it is strange that our people have motivated work."

Feng Xiaochen said: "So, we should also open the income gap, the able to work more, more work."Just now, the director of the Department of Health said that if the compressor can be developed, I hope to give the participants a heavy prize, I do support.If you want the horse to run, you have to fasten a carrot in front of people.”

“Oh!”Zhang Yue smiled directly, "Feng Assistant, your metaphor is inappropriate, tied a carrot in front of you, is that donkey?"

Everyone laughed, Feng Xiaochen did not feel embarrassed, he was originally deliberately wrong, want to have fun with everyone.When everyone was laughing, he turned to look at Pan Caishan and asked, “What do you think of Pan Factory, dare to make this determination?”
