On Beidaihe West Beach, a small machine played by Tang Hua and Liu Nai became the most eye-catching thing on the beach.

A small walking tractor.

"Old Liu, what is the best product of your Fourth Machinery Industry Bureau? It's not a tank or a big truck, but it!"

Tang Hua learned how to manipulate this guy after 5 minutes of learning, and ran back and forth twice in the sand by the sea.

The two wheels of the walk-behind tractor have been replaced with steering wheel wheels suitable for driving in muddy water. The blades are inserted into the mud and will never slip in paddy fields, and there is no problem on wet sandy beaches.

An 8-horsepower diesel engine with an iron plow behind it—this is not a multifunctional agricultural machine. In the field, it has a single purpose: plowing the land.

So its correct name is Micro Tiller, nicknamed "Angry Cow".

Because rice planting, transplanting and harvesting are difficult to achieve with agricultural machinery.Until the 21st century, the rice transplanter was still something that made southern farmers shake their heads. The rate of missed and replanted rice seedlings inserted into the paddy fields was too high.

With the use of "gas-dead cows", farming can be mechanized, which can be regarded as reaching the level of "semi-mechanized agriculture".

There is another reason for prioritizing the mechanization of farming: cattle have a long growing season and are prone to disease and death, especially in poorly managed communes after cooperatives.

If you buy adult cattle, even in the 50s, the price is not a small figure.Even calves aren't cheap.Cows eat grass in theory, but in fact, when the farming is busy in spring, they have to eat grain and beans to speed up their recovery. Sometimes they even have to crack a few eggs in them, otherwise the cows will be tired soon Nested.

After the founding of New China, in 1951, the first batch of insurance types opened by the Chinese insurance industry included farm cattle insurance...

The chief accountant and Deng Zifei walked over to watch the excitement.

"Industrial departments always have surprises," Deng Zifei said. "Although this tractor is not as big as the Soviet ones, it can hold up to several cows."

"The speed is fast, the plow is wide, and you can work day and night without rest when the farming is busy," Liu Nai said. "The key is that it is suitable for the scattered small plots of cultivated land in the south. no problem."

Chief accountant: "I always feel that this thing is not quite right..."

Tang Hua: "Vice Premier Chen, you feel really good. If you want to promote this kind of small agricultural machinery, it is best to give a certain amount of financial subsidies, at least to subsidize the cost of diesel fuel. People who grow crops are not concerned about paying out money. They are all very concerned.”

The chief accountant sighed, kicked off his slippers and walked away.

……

"Although Vice Premier Chen always heaves a long sigh when he encounters problems, he knows that this matter is very important, and he will definitely work hard to solve it. In the end, he will definitely be able to get financial subsidies." Deng Zifei said.

Tang Hua: "I know. So the production plan of Changsha Tractor Factory has been finalized."

Liu Nai: "Next year, it will be officially put into operation in March-April of 56."

The Planning Commission, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Ministry of Mechanical Engineering had another small meeting on the matter of small-scale agricultural machinery, and a few things were confirmed:

The first is that cooperatives can purchase agricultural machinery by installment payment, and it is an interest-free loan.The second is the issue of diesel oil. For communes that have purchased agricultural machinery, they will be rewarded with fuel coupons when the unified purchase of grain reaches a certain amount. The more grain they sell, the more rewards they will get.

Fuel stamps are not proof of purchase, but diesel fuel exchange coupons that can be redeemed for cash. If more grain is sold to the country, two-thirds or even three-quarters of the fuel consumed by tractors will be free.

Of course, if the commune uses tractors and trailers for transport, it will burn more diesel, and then it will have to buy extra oil at market prices.

"From next year, fuel oil will no longer be a scarce commodity in our country," Tang Hua said. "Of course there is still a price. After all, mining and refining will cost costs, but it should gradually be imported without spending foreign exchange."

Liu Nai: "That's right, the news of the discovery of a large oil field in Shandong is not a secret internally now, and it should be published in the newspapers later."

Tang Hua looked around and pointed to the beach: "Old Liu, I found that Director Li of the big oil field is there."

A few tens of meters away, Li Siguang was wearing big underpants and toad glasses, lying half-lying under a parasol to enjoy the sea breeze.

……

In the first Beidaihe summer vacation last year, Lao Li did not come, and Villa 65 was always vacant.At that time, he was surveying and geologically supervising drilling at the mouth of the Yellow River. In December, the oil field was confirmed. When I returned to Beijing, I didn't need Lao Li to do the detailed survey of the oil field in the first half of 12. I just left it to the drilling team of the Petroleum Industry Bureau.

In the first half of the year, in addition to his daily work, Lao Li wrote a book for half a year, as well as some preparatory work for the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering.And academic debates with colleagues in the geology community.

"The area and reserves of the Zhanggai and Dongying oil areas are basically clear," Li Siguang said. "The recoverable reserves in Zhanggai Village are 1.71 million tons, and Dongying Village is 1.9 million tons. Dongying Village There are still some parts of the oil area that have not been fully clarified and are being investigated in detail. The detailed survey of the third oil area also started last month."

Tang Hua: "How much oil recovery capacity has been built?"

"The wells drilled are enough to produce millions of tons per year. The oil refinery in Zibo only consumes 40 tons a year. Now I feel that the petrochemical department is under greater pressure to build a plant."

In 1954, the oil import volume was over one million tons, which means that in theory there is no need to import oil.

But in fact, there may be a transition period of 2 to 3 years.First of all, the refining capacity is lagging behind, and it is frantically making up.Secondly, domestic oil consumption is also rising rapidly, and air-packed buses are dreaming of changing back to fuel tanks.

Finally, some oil products with high smelting technology, such as aviation fuel and high-grade lubricating oil, let alone 2 to 3 years, Tang Hua is basically satisfied if they can be localized within five years.

"By the way, the 8th team of the Geological Department also found signs of uranium deposits in Hunan, and the scale seems to be quite small."

When Li Siguang said this, Tang Hua suddenly became energetic: "Where is it in Hunan?"

"Hunan...near Chen County."

Chapter 97, there is still a picture of the chairman

The first large-scale uranium mine discovered in China, the Chenzhou 711 uranium mine, is located in Jinyinzhai, about 30 kilometers north of Chenzhou.

In the early days of China's nuclear industry, the first few found were small or even micro uranium deposits. For example, a small vein found in Guangxi in 55 disappeared after digging out 300 tons of uranium deposits. In 1960, when the 711 uranium mine was settled, China's nuclear industry finally breathed a sigh of relief: it has a large mine in its hands, and there is no need to panic anymore.

It's just now... There is a 1960-ton uranium mine in Xiangshan, and another [-]-ton uranium mine in Chenzhou. It looks like they could sell yellow cakes to survive (earn foreign exchange) before [-]?

"The discovery and survey of the Xiangshan uranium deposit gave the Ministry of Geology a new understanding of the theory of the formation of uranium deposits and the distribution of uranium deposits in southern China. With new theories and the help of computers, the geological survey in Chenzhou this time The Ministry’s 8th Exploration Team is mainly composed of young people, so I won’t interfere with their work.”

In Li Siguang's words, he was very satisfied with the construction of the exploration echelon of the Ministry of Geology.

"Old Li, has the China Geological Museum been confirmed to start construction?"

Speaking of the Geological Museum, Li Siguang came alive: "The architectural design plan was released in 53. After several revisions, it has been finalized. Construction will start in January next year. It is expected to open on the 1th anniversary of the National Day."

The Geological Museum is a popular science garden for teenagers...

Li Siguang's most important thing is of course the China Geological Data Library, which is located on the second, third, and fourth floors of the Geological Museum under planning.

Of course, the exhibition halls of the Geological Museum are also excellent, with a total area of ​​11000 square meters, including the Hall of Geophysics, the Hall of Geology of China, the Hall of Mineral Rocks, and the Hall of Prehistoric Biology.The Hall of Prehistoric Biology now has a good product: a complete dinosaur skeleton fossil unearthed in Jingangkou Village, Laiyang, Shandong Province, has just been named "Spine-nosed Qingdao Dragon".

Tang Hua: "Then it seems that the geological museum is finished, and it's almost time to take the baby to learn geological knowledge."

Li Siguang said with a chuckle: "It just so happens that I think so too, my granddaughter will be six years old by then."

……

"In the second half of the year, heavy industry production will be slightly adjusted to give the finances a breath of relief. This is my plan:"

At the meeting between the Financial and Economic Committee and the industrial sector, Tang Hua talked about the fine-tuning plan for the second half of the year.

"In terms of iron and steel, this year's production plan has definitely exceeded the standard, so we have time to make technical adjustments. Anshan Iron and Steel and Benxi Iron and Steel each stopped a blast furnace-open hearth furnace steel production line for technical transformation. The upgrade will take 100 to 120 yuan. Today, the steelmaking open hearth furnace will be upgraded to the most advanced oxygen top-blown basic furnace today."

"Stop the furnace for cooling in mid-September, prepare for technical transformation, and complete the transformation project from the end of December to early January next year. In this way, two blast furnaces will be shut down for nearly four months in the second half of the year, and steel production in the second half of the year will be adjusted back... 9 to 12 1 tons."
