Rebirth 2008: I Can Make Money Reading - Vol 2 Chapter 483
The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: []https://The fastest update! No ads!
The 500km/h high-speed rail that Muyang wants to build does not refer to the maximum speed, but refers to the normal operating speed, that is, the design speed.
The maximum speed may have reached more than 600 kilometers per hour, which can be called “advanced high-speed rail”.
The design speed of the Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed rail train is 350 kilometers per hour, and the maximum speed of the train is 380 kilometers per hour. In actual operation, the average speed can reach less than 350 kilometers per hour, and it is not bad to reach 300 kilometers per hour.
Mu Yang’s design requirements are 42% higher than the design speed of 350 kilometers per hour, which is not outrageous. This technology is available in his achievement point store. There are many types of train technology with a design speed of more than 500 kilometers. It is just that it is not suitable. Hua country’s current national conditions are just that.
Even the vacuum maglev train technology with a speed of more than 4,000 kilometers per hour has reached a terrifying speed of 20,000 kilometers per hour.
Mu Yang wanted to build a high-end high-speed rail because of a whim.
In his previous life, he often took the bullet train back to his hometown. It took eleven hours to travel from H City to Gui City. In addition to the toss and turns on the road, one day passed, and it took two days to go back and forth.
If it is an ordinary train, it will take more than 30 hours. During the Spring Festival, it is too tossing. It is estimated that many young people have never experienced the scene of taking a green train to go home during the Spring Festival. They cannot buy tickets. Crowded with passengers, there is no seat to stand, and it is not convenient to walk around. , not to mention eating, I can’t bear to pay for eating in the carriage, it’s expensive.
In the past few years, the economic level of the masses has improved, and they are willing to spend money on high-speed trains.
If the high-speed rail that Mu Yang imagined can be realized, from H City to Guicheng, the 11-hour train time can be shortened to five or six hours, leaving at noon and arriving in the afternoon, and you can still have dinner with your family. It is more convenient than flying, and there is no need to toss like flying.
If you fly by plane, you have to take a car from the city to the airport, and the security check and waiting time are too long.
Of course, Mu Yang’s desire to develop high-speed rail is not just a whim, he really wants to do something to benefit the people.
Speeding up the high-speed rail will benefit hundreds of millions of people, but it’s not just doing charity, it can only help some people.
Muyang’s high-speed rail dream has many advantages.
One of the most important advantages is compatibility. It can be compatible with the existing railway network, that is, the existing high-speed rail tracks do not need to be added.
Of course, if a wide track is used, it is more stable and faster.
But if it is compatible, that would be great.
If it is not compatible, Muyang might as well build a maglev train. Although the Shanghai Pudong high-speed maglev train that has been opened to traffic runs at 430khh (the designed maximum speed is 505khh), this speed is not faster than the high-speed rail, and the investment cost is high. It is not worth it. In addition, it is compatible Sexual problems and technical weakness caused Huaguo to eliminate the maglev train from the market.
But it is undeniable that maglev trains have some advantages that high-speed trains do not have, such as energy saving, easy maintenance, and low noise.
In Muyang’s Achievement Store, there is technology for maglev trains running at a speed of 700 kilometers per hour. If the country had such technology before 2004 before the country decided to use high-speed rail, then there must be no later 350 kilometers per hour. Popularization of high-speed rail.
Muyang’s advanced high-speed rail also faces many problems.
For example, the issue of stopping at stops, whether workshops in small cities can stop, if such small stops can be stopped, can drive the local economic development and benefit more people; but if stopping at small stops, the speed of the car must be reduced.
Therefore, Mu Yang thinks that this is not only a problem of the power system, but also a problem of the distribution of the high-speed rail operation system. If all passengers go directly to BJ station in Guicheng, there is no need to stop halfway, and the speed is faster.
There is also the most important issue for the public, that is, ticket pricing, which is also the most critical issue.
The maglev train is not popular, and the ticket price is the biggest reason.
For ordinary people, the car ride has been shortened from ten hours to five hours. If the price of the car is too high, they will not choose to take it. A few more hours can save two or three hundred yuan. Most people are willing to work I can’t make this money in a day.
certainly,
The speed of the trains has been increased, and tickets for ordinary trains are not so tense. Even if it is Chinese New Year, you can still grab tickets for ordinary trains.
For the people, it is a matter of money, and for the railway system, it is also a very big test.
Even if Muyang’s advanced high-speed rail is developed, it will take a long time to verify the safety of the test run.
When new things come out, it always takes a long time to verify and accept them, and there are various obstacles, but innovation cannot be given up because of this.
Mu Yang told his wife what she thought, and after Song Xuelu listened to it, she didn’t comment immediately, but after thinking for a while, she said as an ordinary person: “Husband, your idea is very good, it benefits the country and the people.
Everyone hopes that the journey will be shorter and return home faster;
As for the fare, it is normal that it is more expensive than the high-speed train at the beginning, and many people will still choose it. I think the fare is within the acceptable range of ordinary people.
I remember that when the high-speed train first opened, most ordinary people could not accept the fare, but as time went by, the income of ordinary people increased, and they gradually became able to afford the second-class seat which costs 40 to 50 cents per kilometer. ”
“Well, as long as the general direction is right, other obstacles can be resolved slowly. You can’t give up good things because of some obstacles.” Mu Yang’s determination became stronger.
The biggest cost of building high-speed rail is still the cost of line construction. The cost of a 350-kilometer high-speed rail line is 100 to 200 million yuan per kilometer. If the 500-kilometer high-speed rail can use the same track, the cost of this line is quite cost-effective.
If it is magnetic levitation, it will cost more than 200 million per kilometer, or even higher.
The second largest cost of high-speed rail is vehicle depreciation and maintenance. The current standard cost of a 350-kilometer train train is about 170 million yuan for Fuxing, 380 million for Harmony CRH380B, and 300 million for CRH380A. Life expectancy is 20 years.
Of course, compared with the Harmony, the Fuxing is truly “created by Huaguo”, and the cost of independent research and development and manufacturing is much lower.
Other costs, such as labor, electricity, maintenance costs, etc., are much lower than the cost of line construction and vehicle costs.
Xinghai Group independently develops and manufactures new high-speed trains, and the cost will not be too outrageous.
Zhongche and other companies are already manufacturing high-speed trains. Mu Yang does not intend to occupy this high-speed rail market. In the future, he will cooperate with Zhongche to license the technology and earn back the research and development costs. His ultimate goal is to benefit the people.
Of course, if it is exported, the money must be earned, that is another matter.
Given Muyang’s economic situation, an investment of 10 billion yuan is enough to engage in a super high-speed rail project, and most of this investment will be used to build test tracks. Make a big toy to play with. If the experiment is successful and popularized, it will benefit the country and the people anyway.
General enterprises cannot undertake such large projects, the investment is too large, and the payback cycle is too long.
After several years of cultivation, Huaguo has indeed possessed the large-scale production and manufacturing capacity of bullet trains, but the bullet trains that are claimed to be independently produced by Huaguo enterprises still have key components imported from abroad and are only assembled in Huaguo.
However, the high-speed rail bearing, one of the key components, has been solved by Xinghai Group and does not need to be imported again.
There are only three major parts of train core technology: traction system, bogie and braking system.
Among them, the most critical is the traction system, of which the traction motor technology Xinghai Group already has the foundation, but this technical content is relatively low.
In the entire traction system, the most core and the most technologically-intensive is the software system. Ximenzi, Kawasaki, and Alstone have not transferred this technology, and it also accounts for 20%-30% of the total price of a train.
Only by mastering the train control system can we set the parameters of each component and have the real design ability, such as modifying the width and height of the train, etc.
Similarly, the high-speed rail braking system is monopolized by Knorr-Bremse, and the core technology has not been transferred.
Among the three major systems, the one that has signed the technology transfer contract is the bogie manufacturer, who only sells the installation drawings and does not talk about the design principles.
In the introduction of high-speed rail technology, Hua Guofang created and surrendered a huge
market, but it is foreign manufacturers who really earn high profits at the top of the pyramid, and they take the initiative by controlling core technologies and key spare parts.
The high-speed rail has created a miracle, but it is indeed a big pain point for Huaguo’s manufacturing industry.
Those foreigners exclaimed “Huaguo speed” on the Huaguo high-speed railway. We are still very proud. There are many reports that the country has been able to independently develop and produce, and no longer depends on imports.
This sentence is also true.
The trains are indeed not imported, and are manufactured by companies such as Zhongche. But what about the core technology?
Or buy someone else’s.
Therefore, if Muyang wants to develop high-end high-speed rail, it must solve the core technology, from import to real independent research and development.
In addition, Mu Yang didn’t want to give up the vacuum tube maglev train. He actually made it and put it into operation. Let alone the speed of 20,000 kilometers per hour, as long as the speed exceeds 1,000 kilometers per hour, air transportation can really be eliminated.
At present, some institutions are researching this technology, but no results have been produced.
There are many problems in this construction and operation, such as how to pump air, how to seal, how to connect and isolate, etc. There are not many words, but the amount of technical information is very large.
If these problems can be solved, the biggest problem in the end is the construction cost. Based on the prices in the next two years, one kilometer may cost about 400 million yuan. This budget is not a guesswork, but has a basis.
Vacuum tubes The vacuum tubes of the maglev train can be built above and below the ground. At such a high speed, even if high-strength glass is installed, the scenery outside the window cannot be seen clearly with the naked eye. Therefore, if you really plan to take this kind of train, passengers have to give up watching the scenery along the way plan.
On the ground, elevated pipelines can be used for construction. In addition to other factors, it is more expensive than building viaducts. Based on the prices in the next two years, the cost will be more than 200 million yuan. If the underground is the way of laying pipelines, according to the current subway tunnel cost estimate, if it is built in a city, its cost should be about 400 million yuan per kilometer.
The cost here and the cost of the high-speed rail both refer to the two-way dual-lane.
The track laying of the vacuum tube maglev train does not need to be separated like the highway or high-speed rail, because it is a closed tube, which will not affect the surrounding environment. The same base can be used, and the construction cost will be much lower. However, Mu Yang estimates that two-way two-lane The comprehensive cost is about 400 million yuan.
Even if vacuum tube maglev trains can be popularized in large numbers, the ticket price will definitely be more expensive than the second-class high-speed rail. How many.
By the end of 2014, the operating mileage of the Huaguo high-speed railway reached 15,000 kilometers, and it is increasing at a rate of several thousand kilometers every year.
A few years later, the national high-speed railway is a foregone conclusion. Even if Muyang develops a vacuum tube maglev train, it will be more difficult to popularize it, and it is impossible to replace the high-speed railway in a short time.
But if it is done early, the country may give up on continuing to vigorously build high-speed rail and focus on vacuum tube maglev trains.
On the second day, Mu Yang bought the technology of hyperloop and vacuum tube maglev train. The hyperloop cost 150 achievement points, and the vacuum tube maglev train cost 500 achievement points, which is considered the most expensive technology.
Mu Yang’s total achievement points suddenly shrank to 950 points, and he felt that his wealth was greatly reduced. It took about half an hour for Mu Yang to absorb the two techniques.
After an in-depth understanding of these two technologies, I found that the technical complexity of the hyperloop is not as good as that of the five-axis CNC machining center, and far inferior to his EBL lithography machine technology.
Achievability is not difficult, mainly to solve the problem of the power system, it is necessary to redesign the train instead of imitating the previous Harmony train, for example, the chassis is lower, with track recognition centering function and lane keeping function, as well as a balance and stability system , appear to be more intelligent, and just like this, can the train be faster, as well as safe and stable.
In terms of materials and manufacturing technology, Xinghai Group already has this condition. As long as the blueprint is out, it can try to build a prototype car.
The technical difficulty of the vacuum tube maglev train is indeed much more difficult than that of the EBL lithography machine. The main difficulty is how to maintain the distance between the train chassis and the track at ultra-high speed.
The stability of the gap between them ensures that the train does not collide with the pipeline.
There are still many technical difficulties, but after Mu Yang thought about it, he felt that it was still achievable. If it were another company, even if the technology was handed over, it would still not be able to manufacture it.
At the same time relying on powerful software systems and computing power, fortunately Xinghai Group solved the problem of top chips.
He has two skills on the horse, and there is no conflict.
He predicts that the high-level high-speed rail can realize the prototype within one year, and the vacuum tube maglev train, it is difficult to successfully test it within three years.
Even if it succeeds, due to the high cost of the vacuum tube maglev train, the ticket price will be relatively high. It is mainly used between developed cities. It may take ten or twenty years before it can be popularized throughout the country like the high-speed train. Replace the high-speed rail. After Mu Yang figured out the two technologies, he was very excited and wished to manufacture the two trains immediately.
That night, Mu Yang told his wife his thoughts, and he rarely communicated with his wife about the projects he planned to develop.
Song Xuelu was very surprised: “My husband, if the vacuum tube maglev train can really be realized, the straight-line distance from H City to Guicheng is more than 1,000 kilometers. If the speed can reach 4,000 kilometers per hour, you can return to your hometown in about 20 minutes. , It’s too exaggerated, this is completely a portal.”
“Portal? Well, that’s a good name, so let’s name this project ‘Portal’!”
“Husband~www.mtlnovel.com~ If this happens, people in the air transport industry will lose their jobs, so what’s the point of Xinghai Group’s aero-engines?”
“The air transportation industry will not be eliminated in a short period of time, and it will take a long time for the portal to become popular. However, the air transportation industry will be severely hit when the advanced high-speed rail is launched.” Mu Yang replied seriously, this is not a joke.
Every time the Xinghai Group produces an innovative technology, it will deal a huge blow to the industry.
With the advent of the EBL lithography machine, ASLM executives wanted to eat Mu Yang, wishing that Mu Yang would die early.
Therefore, the significance of the vacuum tube magnetic levitation technology is similar to that when the steam engine replaced the horsepower, it will bring about an epoch-making change. Civil aviation and railway transportation will be largely replaced, and human beings will enter a cleaner and more efficient travel era.
If these two technologies are approved, there is no way to hide them because they need to build tracks and infrastructure for experiments.
At that time, the outside world will know about the Xinghai Group’s project, and it is estimated that the whole world will become lively.
I don’t know what kind of obstacles Mu Yang and Xinghai Group will face.
