Chapter 464 Black Technology (Second update, please subscribe)

"The warehouse is solid and you know the etiquette; the food and clothing are enough and you know the honor and disgrace."

If a culture wants to develop, it must first have sufficient food and clothing. If the people don't even have enough to eat, how can we talk about building a country through culture?

The "Five-Year Plan for Cultural Revitalization" only outlines a context, but what is the real core?
It's industry!
It is to increase the income of ordinary people.

Not only should people be fed, but they should also be fed well. Only when people eat well will they think about other things.

Just like Hoover's beautiful promise that "every American has a chicken in the pot and a car in every family." The first goal to be achieved is to eat chicken. That is to solve the problem of eating.

It can be seen that for politicians all over the world, eating has always been an extremely important issue.

The ancestors saw this very clearly - "Only when you are full and warm can you think about lust." If you can't even eat enough, everything is empty talk.

In fact, the problem of eating in Nanyang is not serious. As a tropical country, although the land in Borneo is barren due to rainforest leaching, thanks to the developed fertilizer industry in Nanyang, the barrenness of the land has not affected Nanyang's agriculture. Production.

At that time, Nanyang not only dismantled several fertilizer plants from Germany, but also brought back some fertilizer plant equipment from Japan, thus establishing Nanyang's fertilizer industry. Later, by importing large-scale fertilizer equipment from countries such as the United States and the United States, Nanyang's fertilizers were not only sufficient for its own use, but also exported to various parts of Southeast Asia on a large scale.

After listening to Harsch's answer, Li Yian thought for a moment and said.

"...Now our company has completed the basic design of a 20-ton ammonia plant. Because Sarawak is rich in natural gas, we chose to use natural gas as raw material. Compared with coal, its output is higher..."

"Currently, the use of natural gas is limited to residential life. There is a surplus of natural gas in the oil fields, so it is perfect to use it to produce synthetic ammonia."

Yangfeng Chemical Industry is the largest fertilizer company in Nanyang. Most of its management and technical personnel are from Germany. Before the war, Germany had the most developed fertilizer industry in the world. By recruiting technical personnel in related fields, Nanyang's fertilizer industry technology level has always been at the forefront of the world.

Although the factory area of ​​Tianfeng Chemical Company was filled with a choking smell of rotten eggs, Li Yian still listened to Harsch's report with great interest.

Harsch specifically emphasized "the world's largest". There is no other reason, because everyone likes the best in the world, which can inspire people's pride.

"The annual output is 120 million tons, of which 45 tons are used in old equipment. They all use coal as raw material, have low production efficiency and high cost. We plan to completely eliminate them in three to five years."

"What is the company's annual output now? How much of it is old equipment?"

"When completed, it will be the largest ammonia plant in the world,"

"Although the 200,000-ton equipment is very large, in terms of production, the larger the scale, the lower the cost. The company should increase its efforts in technology development and strive to solve the design of the 300,000-ton production process and equipment. As for the old factory..."

Looking at the factories dismantled from Germany and Japan, Li Yian naturally thought of Tangshan. Compared with Nanyang, Tangshan is not rich in natural gas. Production equipment using coal as raw material is undoubtedly more suitable for local realities, and the agricultural production there is Fertilizer production equipment is also needed.

Li Yian asked, pointing to the synthesis tower in the distance.

"You can set up a company in Hong Kong and sell those sets of old equipment to Tangshan. After the war is over, there will definitely be a period of post-war reconstruction. Exporting the old equipment to them is better than directly phasing it out!"

After thinking about it, Li Yian added.

"As for the payment method, it can be more flexible. It doesn't have to be cash or gold. You can use barter. Rare metal ores and agricultural products are all needed by Nanyang. Talking to them, I believe this market should still be very broad." Even Even if it is antiques, there are many goods that Nanyang needs there.

The reason why Li Yian thought of the Tangshan market was not just because these sets of fertilizer production equipment were urgently needed in Tangshan and could even survive. More importantly, in another world, after Tangshan broke up with Soviet Russia , began to introduce urgently needed technical equipment in petroleum and other aspects from Japan. One thing is certain, Japan's petroleum and other equipment manufacturing industry lagged far behind its European and American counterparts at that time, but this did not prevent Tangshan from introducing Japanese equipment at a high price, and Japan's petroleum To a certain extent, the equipment manufacturing industry such as chemical industry has achieved its rise by relying on orders from Tangshan.

In line with the idea that instead of taking advantage of others, it is better to take advantage of yourself, follow other people's paths, and leave others with nowhere to go. Li Yian hopes to cooperate with Tangshan first to gain future market space before Japan enters the Tangshan market.

"What you said is true. There is a market of hundreds of millions of people, and hundreds of thousands of tons of fertilizers need to be imported every year. If we can enter the Tangshan market, we will definitely get huge returns. I believe that with the advent of peace, Tangshan will need at least Import 200 million tons of chemical fertilizers for agricultural production."

Seeing Harshi's confident expression, looking like he would definitely be able to open up the Tangshan market, Li Yi said with peace of mind.

"You guys are overthinking. Changchun is different from Jinling. You can still sell production equipment to Tangshan in the future. As for selling fertilizers... don't think about it for now."

Why don't you think about it?

Because Tangshan places more emphasis on the introduction of equipment for production rather than the import of finished products.

However, Li Yian did not dissipate his enthusiasm, and even gave him some encouragement. Who knows, what if the market can really be opened?
Even if the fertilizer market cannot be opened, it is still very necessary to open the market for fertilizer manufacturing equipment. Perhaps, the introduction of 13 sets of large equipment in another era can be greatly advanced, and this can also promote the development of Nanyang's equipment manufacturing industry.

At the same time, it can also greatly alleviate Tangshan's demand for chemical fertilizers, especially nitrogen fertilizers, resulting in a huge increase in grain yield. This will fundamentally change the current situation of food shortage in Tangshan and enable more people to have enough to eat.

After inspecting the chemical company, Li Yian went to the company's research institute to inspect. Tianfeng Chemical Industry Company's production is not limited to fertilizers. The company also produces other chemical products including chemical fibers.

"We are currently cooperating with British Imperial Chemical to introduce polyester production technology, which is a new type of chemical fiber raw material. Currently, a polyester production plant with an annual output of 16000 tons is under construction. Considering the development of the domestic garment industry, we are combining Imperial Chemical technology, researching new production technologies to achieve complete technological autonomy.”

Polyester is the basic material for the production of polyester, the same as Germany, France and Italy, and even DuPont in the United States. Of course, Nanyang is not immune, and it also introduced technology from the British Imperial Chemical Industry.

Although companies in Nanyang have always enjoyed the dividends of Santoku, to a certain extent, Nanyang has now reached or even surpassed the British and American levels in some technical fields. This is basically due to the gift from Sandoku. However, while absorbing Sandoku's technology, it also actively introduces technologies from Britain, the United States and other countries, and polyester production technology is one of them.

After listening to Harsch's report, Li Yian said.

"The route of technology introduction itself is to introduce, absorb and then innovate. Now in many technical fields, we are on the same starting line as the United Kingdom and the United States. By seizing the current opportunities, we will definitely be able to develop technologies with independent intellectual property rights. Then, Only then can we export Nanyang’s technical equipment to other countries!”

Once again, Li Yi'an mentioned the export of "technical equipment". The reason why he mentioned the export of this seemingly distant technology and large industrial equipment in this era is because it is the necessity of Nanyang's industrial upgrading.

People who have no long-term worries must have short-term worries. Industrial upgrading must have long-term planning from the beginning. Only in this way can we continuously eliminate backward production capacity at the appropriate time, thereby realizing the transformation of national industrial production and science and technology.

As for the market for large industrial equipment, Tangshan must be included. Moreover, the production equipment that Nanyang can provide in the future will also be what they need.

after all. Chemical fertilizers make you full, and chemical fibers make you warm. In this era, these two are undoubtedly black technologies, and they are also black technologies related to the lives of hundreds of millions of people.

It will definitely not be ignored over there...
