Eleven, leave no stone unturned

After five days, Yang Tiehui's experiment first yielded results. The results were not very satisfactory. It could produce a certain amount of energy, but the amount of energy was not large, and the cost of investment was too large.

So far, it is completely uneconomical and this plan is considered scrapped.

Yang Tiehui apologized to Han Wenzheng a little uneasily, and Han Wenzheng said with a smile: "Tiehui, if every plan can succeed, wouldn't it be easy for us to succeed? Don't take the temporary failure to heart, don't have any thoughts.

Don't worry, I will come up with a better way." "Father, don't worry, I will definitely do it." "Okay, go to work." "Father, I'm leaving, you

Don't work too hard." Yang Tiehui said goodbye and left.

On the contrary, Jiang Tieying's proposal was successful. Although the energy from the wind blown by each engine was only 20 kilowatts, with two thousand engines, there was 40,000 kilowatts of energy per hour, which is not a small amount.

, it is a small supplement, although it is not much, but it is finally a little gain. At least, the two thousand engines made by Qian Tiexin will not become scrap metal.

With the investment of many excavators, the excavation speed of the Datong Canal has accelerated a lot. After all, these machines can dig much faster than manpower or machines digging with hands, which is also a good thing.

The focus of the development of Yanhuang City is energy. Other resources are not a problem. With the advancement of steel-making technology, the daily output of steel-making and other smelting metals has now reached about ten tons. This output is at this stage

It is no longer a problem at all. As for other resources, it is not a problem. Only energy has left everyone at a loss. It is really impossible to find a better, more convenient, and longer-lasting energy source. This makes everyone want to

No matter how hard I try, I can't find any good solution.

Over the past few days, everyone has come up with a way, but after many tests, they found that it doesn't work, and every method failed. This also made everyone slowly become discouraged, and they were too lazy to think about it. They just hoped

After the construction of the Datong Canal is completed, coal transportation should be the fastest option.

Han Wen was sitting on the chair without saying a word. Qiu Shui said: "Husband, forget it. Now, we have thought of all the ways we can think of and tried them all, but it still doesn't work." "I know,

But now, the issue of energy is stuck here, Shui'er, I'm not worried about getting to the first level now, I'm worried about the future. Now, it has been proven that we can't use electricity as an energy source before the thirteenth level.

, in this way, can the coal from Datong Coal Mine really allow us to advance to level 13? Also, I believe that in the future, it will not only require energy to create tribesmen, but also many other aspects that will require energy. If we can't find a feasible

If we have a different source of energy, the problem of energy will always bother us. Therefore, no matter how difficult it is, I will continue to think about it until I figure out a way. I don't believe that there is really no one in this universe.

A better way to solve energy problems.”

Qiu Shui said: "But, sir, we have tried all the methods we can use. Wind energy has too little energy. Solar energy has too low power per unit. There is also geothermal energy, which we don't have here. As for other methods,

It has been proven to be ineffective, what else can we think of?" "You have to think about it if you don't know. I firmly believe that the solution is found." "Husband, sometimes, people can't get into trouble.

Manpower is sometimes scarce."

Han Wenzheng also knew that what Qiu Shui said was reasonable, but he was always unwilling to accept it.

One day, Han Wenzheng suddenly thought of something and called Yang Tiehui. After listening to Han Wenzheng's idea, Yang Tiehui said: "Father, it's not impossible to make hydrogen, but we don't have so much equipment. Besides, using this kind of

The amount of hydrogen produced by this method is also limited, and there is no way to put it to use." "Then think about it, is there any way to produce hydrogen in large quantities?"

Yes, Han Wenzheng's idea is to produce hydrogen. As we all know, water is composed of hydrogen and oxygen. After passing direct current, hydrogen and oxygen can be decomposed. The mass ratio is one to eight, that is to say, decomposition

After one cubic meter of water, you can get about 110 kilograms of hydrogen, and the combustion value of hydrogen is 143 million joules per kilogram, which is equivalent to 38.9 kilowatt hours of electricity, which is the highest among all gases, and the electrolysis of water

The purity of the obtained hydrogen is as high as 99%, which can be regarded as an ideal energy source. If hydrogen can be produced in large quantities, then Yanhuang City's energy source will not be a problem. As for electricity, there is plenty of it, so

, the key point is if the electricity can be converted into direct current, and then used to produce hydrogen.

After three days of research, Yang Tiehui came to Han Wenzheng in frustration: "Father, if hydrogen is produced in a small amount, it is definitely not a problem. I can make a small DC transformer, but if a large amount of hydrogen is produced,

If we can obtain hydrogen and convert the hydrogen into a large amount of energy, it is definitely not a problem that I can solve now."

Han Wenzheng patted him on the shoulder and said: "Xiaohui, don't be depressed. Maybe it's because of your father's appearance. This itself is already beyond the difficulty of what you can solve, so it doesn't matter if you don't succeed.

Let me think of a solution later." Yang Tiehui said: "Father, sometimes don't be too persistent. At this stage, we may really have no way to find a better solution. We can only wait for the completion of the Datong Canal to transport coal. My father also

Don’t think too much.”

Han Wenzheng sent Yang Tiehui away, sighing and saying: "Well, it seems we still have no solution." Qiu Shui said at the side: "Husband, I have an idea, but the chance of success is not great.

"What do you think?" "It's the water pump plan you proposed. Although this plan can not generate much energy, I believe that if the number of water pumps is large enough, it should not be less than that of 'Wangfei Bridge'."

capable of generating energy."

Han Wenzheng smiled bitterly and said: "If you want to go around and around, you still have to go back to the water pump. But, Shui'er, can you explain your thoughts in more detail?" "My design is based on the water pump.

The water pumping height is designed. According to Qian Tiexin's calculations that day, the water pump should be able to send water to a height of 100 meters. We don't need to use multi-stage water pumping. Just one level of water pumping is enough. It should also be at a height of 100 meters.

Not much difference. If we just pump water from the river, the distance is too far and the number of water pipes required is really too much, which is not cost-effective. Therefore, my plan is to dig from the river to the energy pool.

A section of the canal leads all the way to the energy pool, so the distance for pumping water is greatly shortened."

Han Wenzheng became interested and said: "Shui'er, continue." "Our Yanhuang City is 20 meters above the water surface, so we can dig the canal in four levels. The first level is the deepest and is the river channel.

The second level is five meters above the water surface, the third level is seven meters above the water surface, and the fourth level is nine meters above the water surface. This can be used to place pumps, so that the largest number of pumps can be accommodated in the smallest space, while digging

The soil from the canal can be used to build a large pool to hold the pumped water, and then use a large water pipe to send the water to the energy pool, and that's basically it."

Han Wenzheng took the paper and pen, drew a sketch based on what Qiu Shui said, and said, "Shui'er, is your plan generally like this?" "Yes." "How much energy can it produce specifically?"

"The engine power of Iron Core is 100 kilowatts, and we don't use a generator. We just change the generator into a water pump. It is directly driven by a wind wheel. In this way, the number of revolutions of the water pump should be very high and the power should be able to

Reaching about 60 kilowatts, in this way, 20 cubic meters of water can be sent to a height of 100 meters every hour. If we have 9,000 water pumps, it should be equivalent to the energy generated by the 'Wangfei Bridge'

." Qiu Shui also reported the calculation results.

Han Wenzheng smiled bitterly and said: "9,000, my good wife, 9,000 engines plus 9,000 water pumps, plus a large number of water pipes, these are huge consumption. Besides, with our current production energy, just

It will take more than three years to complete this work, do you think it is worth it?"

Qiu Shui was speechless. Yes, it is not worthwhile to spend three years doing this work, and the damage rate of these facilities is also relatively high. Therefore, although this plan has certain feasibility,

However, it was not very practical, and even she herself did not think this project was worth doing.

Qiu Shui said: "Husband, there is no need to think too much. We have already thought of all the ways we can think of. There should be no other way to think of. It is most practical to find ways to speed up the construction of the Datong Canal.

Otherwise, our energy accumulation speed cannot be increased quickly. You are a smart person and should understand." "Yes, I'd better not think too much. It's useless to think too much."

After Han Wenzheng spent five days inspecting the construction site of the Datong Canal, he felt very satisfied that both Zhao Tieyun and Sun Tiejian could complete the task alone. In other words, Han Wenzheng's presence or absence had nothing to do with it.

Han Wenzheng and Qiu Shui spent another five days walking around all the construction sites, including the grain growing area, quarry area, steelmaking area, coal area and other places. They felt that there was no problem. Everything was very good and the children were happy.

They have done a very good job, and they don't need to worry about it. For this, Han Wenzheng greatly praised everyone, which made everyone very happy.

Qiu Shui also praised them, but the way she praised them was to make a delicious meal and let everyone go back to Yanhuang City to have a big meal. This was also a big dinner, and sometimes, everyone needed to

Qiu Shui did a very good job of walking together, having a meal, drinking some wine, and keeping in touch with each other. After the meal, everyone was a little drunk, and one by one they pulled Han Wenzheng and asked Han Wenzheng

Singing, poor Han Wenzheng, has learned everything, but he has not learned to sing. He was forced by a group of children to sing only two songs. His singing was so ugly that all the children were disappointed.

They all booed, and everyone laughed until their stomachs hurt.

The night ended with laughter. Han Wenzheng hugged his wife and said with a smile: "Shui'er, you are so smart, you really know my thoughts." "Who asked me to be your wife?" Qiu Shui smiled sweetly.
