Chapter 810

In Jianning's train factory, Chen Xinzheng held a meeting with the 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 railway passenger transport that the country plans to gradually restore at present, Chen Xin and his colleagues mainly discussed the preparation of train sets after the connection of Asia Europe railway line.

"At present, the most important demand for the Asia Europe railway line is the demand for freight logistics. Therefore, the most needed freight cars are general container trucks, gondolas for bulk goods, refrigerated trucks for frozen food, hopper cars for transporting coal and grain, tank cars for transporting gasoline and other liquids." a staff member is holding a report, Explain to the participants: "among them, the demand for container trucks is the largest, hopper trucks are also in great demand, others..."

The content of the staff is quite lengthy, and involves many professional related issues. Others attending the meeting may listen very attentively, but for Chen Xin, he just listens to these contents, most of which are not directly related to him.

This undoubtedly led him to listen a little distracted and think about the situation in Europe.

Chen Xin undoubtedly knows more about the situation in Europe. After all, most of the goods that Europe can provide to China are the output obtained under his own operation.

At present, Europe mainly imports various ores, crude oil and other industrial raw materials, while domestic exports to Europe are mainly foreign trade ordnance, some grain and living materials.

In the past, land cargo ships went from China to Europe. When loading, they mainly used freight containers, but when they came back from Europe, it was difficult to load the goods in containers.

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

Therefore, the practice at that time was to preliminarily smelt the ore, refine it into ingots of raw ore, and then load them into containers.

But even so, it is still very inconvenient. Chen Xin had to design a universal container to solve the problem.

As for the oil products produced after the Beihai oil field resumed work, it was also faced with the same problem. Fortunately, at that time, the output was not high, most of them were still supplied to the logistics needs of the European defense line, and only some of them were transported back to China after being loaded in barrels.

However, barrel loading transportation undoubtedly greatly increased the transportation cost and reduced the transportation volume. If the transportation volume was not really small at that time, Chen Xin wanted to be two land ships for oil transportation and specially transported oil products home.

But now... Listening to the introduction of the staff, it seems that it is going to be transported by oil tanker.

Chen Xin feels that he can't deny it.

In terms of transportation, of course, tank cars can be used to transport oil products, but it is best to transport refined oil, because the transportation volume of tank cars is too low when used to transport crude oil.

Generally, the load of a common tank car is about 50-70 tons, and the volume is about 50-70 cubic meters. Even if a train is divided into 100 cans, a train can pull thousands of tons of refined oil.

Although it sounds a lot, it's not much. Even if the largest 120 cubic meter long tank car is used, it can pull more than 10000 tons.

And obviously, it's impossible for a train with more than 100 cars to hang all tank cars.

Therefore, relatively speaking, it is still the ship, a means of transportation with a large volume, which has a larger capacity and is more cost-effective.

This is also why in the past, oil pipelines were used more than trains in the transportation of crude oil and refined oil, in addition to oil tankers.

Thinking of this, Chen Xin suddenly felt that he might be able to reuse those oil tankers. Anyway, they are now like other ships. Most of them are frozen in the port. If no one cares, they may not be cared for for for hundreds of years, or they may simply be disassembled into waste steel.

However, when Chen Xin was thinking about these problems, the staff suddenly talked about a topic that interested him.

"According to the requirements of Europe, they hope to open passenger trains with China. Although the state has not promised this, the Ministry of Railways asked us to come up with a feasible design scheme." the staff introduced it to the participants.

Hearing this, Chen Xin asked, "do Europe want to open passenger trains? Do they want to escape?"

"We don't know. The Ministry of Railways just asked us to come up with a design scheme for passenger trains." the staff was curious about this question, but obviously he couldn't answer it.

Chen Xin himself can answer this question, but he just asks with his mouth. Since no one answers after asking, he doesn't care, so he asks another question: "Passenger train is really a problem worthy of attention. Not only the trains in Europe, but also the domestic countries have the intention to restore the passenger transport trains. Do you have a mature passenger train design now?"

After asking this question, Chen xinlue looked expectantly at the staff of the train factory.

Chen Xin had visited the nuclear powered train under test before, including passenger cars, but that was a few years ago. What the train manufacturer took out was only a conceptual design scheme.

Moreover, at that time, limited by the number of nuclear powered locomotives, these nuclear powered locomotives were used closely for the transportation of important materials, that is, they used the mobile shelter composed of nuclear powered locomotives when they were used for disaster relief in the southwest, transferring victims and relocating people around Dongting Lake.

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

The staff did not live up to Chen Xin's expectations. They soon came up with a design scheme for passenger trains.

"At present, the passenger cars we have that can be grouped with the nuclear power locomotive are mainly divided into short-distance hard seat cars and long-distance hard sleeper cars, as well as supporting functional cars. In terms of the current technical reserves, it is not a problem to come up with a feasible scheme." the staff explained to Chen Xin, In addition, various functional carriages are also displayed one by one: "these functional carriages are the results of the efforts of our researchers and designers in recent years. Considering that the requirements are for a long-distance passenger journey to Europe, more consideration should be given to the content of logistics support in train formation. After all, there is no supply for thousands of kilometers, the car can stand it, and people can't stand it.

In addition, we need to consider the problem of snow removal. Thousands of kilometers of railway is also a very troublesome thing in case of snow sections that are difficult to pass... "
