Chapter 810 Passenger Train

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the train manufacturing factory in Jianning, Chen Xinzheng was having a meeting with people from the factory.

    The content discussed at the meeting was still about the manufacturing and design of nuclear-powered locomotives. In addition to the current domestic railway passenger transportation that the country plans to gradually resume, Chen Xin and the others mainly discussed the train crew preparation after the completion of the Asia-Europe railway line.  question.

    "Currently, the main demand for Asia-Europe railway lines is freight logistics. Therefore, the most in demand are general container trucks, gondola trucks for bulk cargo, refrigerated trucks for frozen food, hopper trucks for transporting coal, grains, and cereals.  Tank trucks transporting liquids such as gasoline and other cargo carriages." A staff member was holding a report and explaining to the attendees: "Container trucks have the greatest demand here, and hopper trucks also have a great demand. Others  of¡­¡­"

    What the staff said was quite long and involved a lot of professional matters. Others at the meeting may have listened very attentively, but for Chen Xin, he could just listen to it and get over most of it.  There is no direct connection with him.

    This undoubtedly caused him to become a little distracted while listening, thinking about the situation in Europe.

    Chen Xin is undoubtedly familiar with the situation in Europe. After all, most of the goods that Europe can provide to the country are the output obtained under his single-handed operation.

    At present, Europe¡¯s imports into the country are mainly industrial raw materials such as various ores and crude oil, while domestic exports to Europe are mainly foreign trade arms, some grains, and daily necessities.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out of the country to Europe, the main use of cargo containers when loading, but when returning from Europe, it is difficult to use containers to load the goods.

    After all, most of the ore is in bulk, and it is easy to cause damage to the container when packed in a container.

    So the method at that time was to conduct preliminary smelting of the ore, refine it into raw ore ingots, and then load them into containers.

    But even so, it was still very inconvenient. Chen Xin had to design a universal cargo box to solve the problem.

    As for the oil fields in the North Sea that later resumed work, the oil products produced also faced the same problem. Fortunately, the output was not high at that time, and most of it was supplied to the logistical needs of the European defense line. Only part of it was barreled and shipped back to the country.

    But barreling transportation undoubtedly greatly increased transportation costs and reduced transportation volume. If the transportation volume hadn't been so small at that time, Chen Xin would have wanted to build two oil-carrying land cruisers specifically to transport oil products back to China.

    But now listening to the staff's introduction, it seems that they are planning to use oil tankers to transport it.

    Chen Xin felt that he could not deny this.

    From a transportation perspective, tank trucks can certainly be used to transport oil products, but they are best used to transport refined oil, because if used to transport crude oil, the transportation capacity of tank trucks is too low.

    Generally, the load capacity of common tank trucks is about 50-70 tons, and the volume is about 50-70 cubic meters. Even if one train is composed of a hundred tanks, one train can pull a finished product of about several thousand tons.  Oil.

    Although it sounds like a lot, it is not much. Even if the largest 120 cubic meter long tank truck is used, it can only pull more than 10,000 tons.

    And obviously, it is impossible for a train of more than 100 cars to be all equipped with tank cars.

    So relatively speaking, large-capacity transportation vehicles such as ships have greater capacity and are more cost-effective.

    This is also the reason why in the past, in addition to tankers, oil pipelines were used to transport crude oil and refined oil products, and trains were rarely used.

    Thinking of this, Chen Xin suddenly felt that he might be able to reuse those oil tankers. Anyway, they are like other ships now. Most of them are frozen in the port. If no one takes care of them, they may not be cared about for hundreds of years.  Or it will simply be dismantled into scrap steel.

    However, just as Chen Xin was thinking about these issues, the staff suddenly mentioned a topic that interested him.

    "According to the requirements of Europe, they hope to open passenger trains with our country. Although the country has not agreed to this matter, the Ministry of Railways requires us to come up with a feasible design plan." A staff member introduced to the participants of the meeting  With.

    Hearing this, Chen Xin asked: "The European side requires the opening of passenger trains? Are they trying to escape?"

    "We don't know about this. The Ministry of Railways just asked us to come up with a design plan for passenger trains." The staff member himself was also curious about this question, but obviously he had no way to answer it.

    Chen Xin himself can answer this question, the question was just a casual question. After asking, he didn't care since no one answered, so he asked another question: "Passenger trains are indeed an issue worthy of attention, not only the trains in Europe."  Domestically, the country also intends to resume passenger trains. Do you have a mature passenger train design now?"

    After asking this question, Chen Xin looked at the staff of the train manufacturing factory with anticipation.

    Chen Xin had previously visited a nuclear-powered train that was still under testing, including passenger carriages, but that was a few years ago, and what the train manufacturer came up with was only a conceptual design.

    Moreover, due to the limited number of nuclear-powered locomotives at that time, these nuclear-powered locomotives were used for transporting important materials. That is to say, nuclear-powered locomotives were used before when they were used for disaster relief and transfer of victims in the southwest region and the relocation of people around Dongting Lake.  A mobile shelter.

    Now that several years have passed, Chen Xin is curious whether they have come up with a new, more practical design.

    The staff did not live up to Chen Xin¡¯s expectations, and they quickly came up with a design plan for the passenger train.

    "Currently, the passenger carriages we have that can be combined with nuclear-powered engines are mainly divided into two types: hard-seat carriages for short-distance use and hard-sleeper carriages for long-distance use, as well as supporting functional carriages. Based on the current technical reserves,  It is not a problem to come up with a feasible solution." The staff explained to Chen Xin and also displayed various functional carriages one by one: "These functional carriages are the result of the efforts of our researchers and designers in the past few years.  As a result, considering that the requirement is to carry out long-distance passenger journeys to Europe, more consideration should be given to logistical supply support when arranging trains. After all, there is no supply for thousands of kilometers, and the trains can bear it, but the people cannot.

    "And we also need to consider the issue of snow removal. With thousands of kilometers of railways, it will be very troublesome if there is a snowy section that is difficult to pass"
