Return to 78: Why are all the Americans panicking about doing scientific research?

Upon learning that Lin Kaifeng was planning to invite the railway department of Longguo to join the construction, Idris crossed his arms and said with a smile: "I have heard that your country's railway construction capabilities are very strong. With their participation, our Neihu country will soon have a modern large-scale railway line."

As a country in the Black Continent world, Idris is well aware of how strong Dragon Country’s foreign aid and construction capabilities are.

Not to mention far away, let’s just talk about the Kingdom of Sang, which was also bullied by Omar.

Their railway was built by the Longguo Railway Department.

Today, this railway that runs through Sangguo has become the country's most important economic hub.

Immediately afterwards, Idris took the initiative to discuss a package of project development plans with Lin Kaifeng.

It is only a matter of time before Neihu Kingdom defeats Omar.

Idris optimistically estimated that the war would definitely end within half a year.

Lin Kaifeng and Northern Machinery Group were asked to transport the construction personnel and equipment to Neihu State as soon as possible.

When the war ends, Neihu Kingdom will enter a period of vigorous industrial development.

Factories of all types will spring up like mushrooms within the territory of Neihu State.

The industrial zone promised by Lin Kaifeng will be able to create jobs for a large number of people.

A large railway running across Neihu Country will give wings to its economic development.

Everything must be completed in the shortest possible time.

Idris was anxious to make money, but Lin Kaifeng was even more anxious than him.

The series of changes that have taken place in Neihu Kingdom recently have not only changed the power structure of Neihu Kingdom.

It also affected the wishful thinking of the United States and Gaul.

Once peace is restored in Neihu Kingdom, all parties will inevitably reach unity, and Western capital will continue to flow into Neihu Kingdom.

Extract oil and dig mines.

Take away any project that can help them make a profit.

The group must complete its work of taking root in Neihu Country before Western forces enter the game.

otherwise.

Lin Kaifeng will face hostility from a large number of Western companies.

Having obtained a large amount of development rights, Lin Kaifeng did not stay for a moment.

The next day, Lin Kaifeng led his entourage back to Zhonglong Country by plane.

First report the good news to General Liu, and then contact the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.

It undertook the development work of the entire Neihu State in one go, which would have been impossible for the Northern Machinery Group alone to accomplish.

Even if it can be completed, it will take years.

Western companies will not give Lin Kaifeng so much time.

Lin Kaifeng himself was also unwilling to wait that long.

It took nearly a week for Lin Kaifeng, on behalf of the Northern Machinery Group, to reach a cooperation agreement with the railway department, the Ministry of Metallurgical Industry, and related mining companies.

Jointly develop Neihu Country.

After returning to the headquarters of Northern Machinery Group, Lin Kaifeng convened a small-scale high-level meeting.

In addition to the heads of several important departments of the group, the meeting also included a senior executive who had temporarily returned from abroad.

Yang Jianguo, deputy manager of the group's East Prussia branch and Zhou Weidong's right-hand man.

At the beginning of the meeting, Lin Kaifeng was not in a hurry to announce the content of the meeting. He looked at Yang Jianguo and said, "Jianguo, you are the cadre who has worked in Europe for the longest time among us. Please give us some knowledge about the origin and function of the shield machine."

Hearing this, several senior department executives looked at Yang Jianguo in unison.

Yang Jianguo looked a little surprised.

I didn't expect that Lin Kaifeng called me back from East Prussia just to educate everyone about tunnel boring machines.

After arranging his words, Yang Jianguo said: "A shield machine is a large-scale construction machine. As the name suggests, a shield machine is a bit like the shield in the hands of ancient soldiers. It uses a large blade to dig subway tunnels and carry out underground construction."

Afterwards, Yang Jianguo gave a detailed account of the development and application areas of tunnel boring machines.

A shield machine encompasses more than a dozen disciplines and scientific technologies including geology, mechanics, mechanics, hydraulics, and surveying.

It can be used for underground railway construction, ground roads, railways, and mountain tunnel excavation.

The shield machine was first invented in the West. More than two hundred years ago, an old-fashioned shield machine that was somewhat similar to the modern shield machine appeared in Britain.

In this century, Prussia came from behind.

A large amount of money and manpower were invested in the research of shield machines.

Influenced by Prussia, the island country gradually paid attention to the research of tunnel boring machines.

Become the third major country in tunnel boring machines.

Overall, the country with the strongest shield machine capabilities in the world is still West Prussia.

East Prussia and West Prussia were once one family. Yang Jianguo worked in East Prussia for a long time and knew very well how strong the tunnel boring machines in West Prussia were. He described them in great detail.

"General Manager, I'm done."

After a while, Yang Jianguo told everyone in detail the origin, history, and current development of the tunnel boring machine.

Lin Kaifeng smiled with satisfaction and waved to Yang Jianguo to sit down.

"Comrades, Comrade Jianguo's introduction is very detailed, but he missed one point. I will fill in the gap for him."

"In addition to being used in highway, railway and tunnel excavation projects, shield machines can also be used to dig mines, and they also have functions that cannot be replaced by other equipment."

After this sentence was spoken, everyone suddenly understood.

No wonder Lin Kaifeng is popularizing science about tunnel boring machines to everyone.

A department head who attended the meeting said: "The general manager let us know the origin and function of the shield machine, and told us that the shield machine can build roads and subways, and can also dig mines. He wanted us to know that the group's future mineral development in Heilongjiang will inevitably require shield machines, right?"

"Haha, everyone is right."

“If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools.”

"Black Africa has rich mineral resources, but many mines are too difficult to develop."

"If we want to successfully develop these minerals, we will definitely need the assistance of large-scale machinery."

"The shield machine is the best excavation assistant."

Every time Lin Kaifeng held a meeting, he would get straight to the point without any nonsense.

Northern Machinery Group obtained the development rights for the entire territory of Neihu State.

Before mining, we must first build bridges and roads in Neihu Country to improve the transportation network.

At the same time, a large railway will be built.

Building bridges, roads and railways all require tunnel boring machines.

To develop mines, shield machines are even more needed.

The theme of the meeting is about to emerge.

Northern Machinery Group will develop domestically produced tunnel boring machines.

Lin Kaifeng said seriously: "Comrades, there is one thing you may not know yet."

"For Westerners, shield machines are as important as five-axis CNC machine tools. We can buy shield machines from them, but if we want to develop shield machines, they will not only not provide any assistance, but will also strongly suppress us."

"Try every possible way to limit our research technology."

"If we want to have a sufficient number of shield machines, there is only one way, and that is independent research."

Many years ago, Northern Machinery Group became a comprehensive enterprise spanning multiple industries and has a large number of technical experts within the company.

Lin Kaifeng plans to gather some mechanical experts together, provide the drawings himself, and complete the research, development and production of domestic tunnel boring machines as soon as possible.
