Chapter 277 Mass production of three-cylinder steam engines
Late September.
Xu Yuan returned to modern society again and brought a large amount of supplies with him, which were stored in a giant warehouse covering an area of 200,000 square meters in the Magic City Industrial Zone - the warehouse has three floors above ground and two floors underground.
The cold snow area, fresh-keeping area, grain area, clothing area, raw material area, etc. can accommodate up to tens of millions of tons of various materials. Security and confidentiality are very high, and no unrelated personnel are allowed to enter. Therefore, most of the materials now,
Many people in Yuan Dynasty used this warehouse to carry out their operations.
And this time, many materials were brought to modern society.
There are 150 tons of Chinese sacred beef.
1 million cubic meters of high-end wood.
200,000 tons of organic rice.
50,000 tons of dried seafood.
There are also some jewelry and clothing items.
In fact, Xu Yuan conducts this large-scale transfer of materials at least once a month. However, during the peak consumption season at the end of the year, the amount of transfers will increase significantly, especially in the last three months of the year. The amount of transfers will be at least
It will account for more than 70%, which is why Xu Yuan will be busy during this period.
Fortunately, after entering the era of artificial intelligence, many tasks can be completed by intelligent robots, thus greatly reducing the use of personnel.
For example, for warehouse supervision, just let the robot be responsible for patrolling.
The transportation, packaging and logistics of materials in the warehouse can also be completed by robots, and then delivered to customers through unmanned transport trucks. The entire process requires almost no human labor and only requires the recruitment of a dozen people.
Engineers can perform remote monitoring in the monitoring room - and these engineers are ancient high-level talents brought over by Xu Yuan from the Ming Dynasty. They are completely trustworthy and will be rotated every month.
Perfect.
Xu Yuan believes that this set is very efficient and perfect, and the risk is infinitely close to zero.
It's just that this high-tech super warehouse was built by a team from Huayao Company and cost them 5 billion. It can be said that they poured all their money into it and even gave it a name, called "Magic Warehouse".
After the warehouse was officially put into use, most of Xu Yuan's worries were solved, and there was no need to bother explaining the problem of "unknown sources of goods". After all, unmanned trucks come and go, coming in and out. Who can tell?
Mao Trick - Of course, the place of origin of the goods, the production company, the certificate of conformity, etc. will also be provided, but they are all empty shells and nothing can be found. However, the certificate of conformity is genuine and the tax has been paid in full. Guaranteed
With these two points in mind, who is looking for trouble to investigate you?
all in all.
Technology can solve most of the problems people encounter, which Xu Yuan feels makes perfect sense.
That's too far.
After the supplies are transferred.
In Magic City Industrial Park, Xu Yuan came to the finished product warehouse of Magic Power Company's three-cylinder steam engine production plant, and saw a warehouse full of 100 units of the 'Super Ancient Type II' (which means beyond the classical) three-cylinder steam engines.
, I heard chief engineer Zhang Jinghao introducing next to him:
"Mr. Xu, our 'Super Ancient II' steam engine has been put into mass production last month. The current maximum production capacity is fifty units per month. This warehouse is the amount we have produced in the past two months. If
If we maintain this production capacity for a long time, we can produce five to six hundred units a year, which is a very scary quantity. I wonder how many units Mr. Xu needs?"
"At least 5,000 units! You run at full capacity and produce with confidence and boldness."
Xu Yuan said a figure that made Zhang Jinghao stunned. He confirmed it again and again, only to find that Xu Yuan was not joking. He just needed five thousand units.
Because in Daming, the Super Ancient Type II steam engine can not only be used as a marine engine, but can also play a very huge role in factory power, mine power, etc., which can greatly save the consumption of electricity and biodiesel, and even itself
It can also drive a generator to generate electricity. As for the consumption, it can be coal, wood, charcoal, etc. The fuel sources are wide and easy to obtain, and can be promoted on a large scale.
The final demand may exceed tens of thousands of units.
Later, Zhang Jinghao also introduced the performance parameters of the 'Super Ancient Type II', saying: "Mr. Xu, although this is a steam engine that has long been outdated, in terms of performance, it is really not much worse than the mainstream internal combustion engine. It is larger
Some parts are processed with high-precision CNC machine tools, and the accuracy of the parts is 10 microns. Some parts with complex structures use advanced 3D printing, and a large amount of carbon fiber is used to increase the strength of the boiler, reduce weight, and
Key parts such as the transmission shaft, crankshaft, and cylinder are polished using Hauke energy technology, which greatly extends the working life and allows continuous operation for thirty years without any problem."
"The weight is only 50.1 tons, the comprehensive thermal efficiency can reach 35%, and the rated output power has reached 10,000 horsepower, which is 43% higher than the previous generation of 'Super Ancient One'. Under extreme conditions, it can explode to a power of 12,000 horsepower, but it cannot
It lasts too long, and has the advantages of small number of parts and easy maintenance and repair. However, in terms of manufacturing cost, due to the use of high-tech materials such as super steel, carbon fiber, and nano-insulation sponge, the cost of manufacturing one unit is about 1.8 million.
, after the production capacity is increased, it should be reduced to 1.5 million, which is a bit expensive."
Zhang Jinghao said.
Xu Yuan nodded, yes, this steam engine is really good, it has reached the extreme.
With an output power of 10,000 horsepower, only one unit can be installed to drive a 3,000-ton maritime cargo ship at an ideal speed. If two units are installed, a 10,000-ton cargo ship can be built, with a transport capacity of 10,000 tons.
It will be greatly improved and can greatly promote the development of maritime trade.
If there are more of these steam engines, they can be used as the core power system and power generation system. In the future, the number of power generation equipment from modern society can be greatly reduced, because the industrial park in Daming already has the manufacturing capacity of generators.
After rubber can be produced, wires and cables can also be manufactured, further reducing reliance on modern society.
If this development continues, after a few years, Xu Yuan will need to purchase and import from modern society, and it is estimated that only high-end machine tools, engineering machinery, high-end parts and materials will be left. The entire development process is very similar to the rise of China, and
Xu Yuan will not encounter problems such as sales bans and stuck necks. Perhaps it will take about thirty years to basically catch up. After all, the technological level of modern society is already quite stagnant. Although we have entered the era of artificial intelligence,
There have been no major breakthroughs in basic science. The most advanced chip manufacturing process is still 2 nanometers. I don’t know when the next wave of technology explosion will occur.
Therefore, as long as Xu Yuan has enough high-end talents, there will be no problem in catching up.
He shook his head.
Get rid of the messy thoughts in your mind.
"Cost is not an issue. What is important is to ensure product quality. It must be easy to use, stable and reliable. These cannot be sacrificed just to reduce costs." Xu Yuan said.
"Yes, Mr. Xu, we will strictly control the quality and will not produce an unqualified steam engine."
Zhang Jinghao nodded repeatedly and promised that with an order of at least 5,000 units and long-term meal tickets for the next ten years, this would be enough for him to pay off his mortgage, raise his children, pay enough pension, and live a more comfortable retirement life. Although
As a senior power engineer, his previous dream was to build turbine engines for large airplanes and rocket engines with high thrust to help the country move toward the stars and the sea and colonize the universe. He never thought about building retro-style three-wheel drive engines.
Cylinder steam engine.
But fate is unpredictable. The talent field in Huaxia is really too involved and the competition is too fierce. No matter what industry it is, it cannot accommodate millions of talents every year. Even Zhang Jinghao's ability is quite outstanding.
Yes, in the past ten years of my career, my annual salary has rarely exceeded 300,000 yuan, and I only get 20,000 yuan per month.
After joining Magic Dynamics, his annual salary increased to 300,000 yuan after tax, which was still not a lot. He still received more than 20,000 yuan per month. However, he developed a sense of belonging to this company and planned to continue working for a long time.
I will consider resigning and work as long as I can.
Because in addition to salary, in other aspects, he felt that the company valued and respected him.
For example, the accommodation is free, and he was assigned a well-decorated house with three bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. He is allowed to bring his family members to live here to avoid long-term separation between the two places. Even his wife has been assigned a clerk job by the group with a monthly salary of six
Thousand, the salary is low, but it provides up to 80 days of paid leave per year to facilitate family matters.
For example, the quality of food in the canteen is simply the best in the country and the world! I can’t overestimate it.
In addition, rice, toothpaste, toothbrushes, clothes and other free items are often distributed, which almost meets all the needs for daily items. Zhang Jinghao can spend up to three to five hundred yuan a month, and the rest can be saved, that is, from the net income
Looking at this, those with an annual salary of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan may not be able to compare with him.
satisfy.
Anyway, Zhang Jinghao is very satisfied here, and the more he works, the less he wants to leave, because nowadays there are very few companies in China that are so humane and caring. They are extremely rare. If you encounter one, you are lucky.
"By the way, you all get off work early this afternoon, so there is no need to send people to guard the warehouse. Besides, you have done a very good job during this period. All employees of the steam engine factory will be rewarded with 50 kilograms of organic rice and 1 kilogram of Chinese God.
Beef, please send someone to collect it from the big warehouse."
At the end, Xu Yuan suddenly said.
"Okay, thank you, Mr. Xu!"
Zhang Jinghao immediately felt excited and couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He had eaten organic rice a long time ago, and it was the sweetest rice in the world. As for the Chinese sacred beef, it was even more extraordinary, at least equivalent to a bonus of tens of thousands of yuan.
And when he announced the good news to the employees in the factory, the workers immediately let out thunderous cheers. Their morale was high. At the same time, they also suspended their work and took out their mobile phones to search for ways to cook top-quality beef, or discuss how to cook top-quality beef.
Take the most beautiful food photos and post them on WeChat Moments. As for those who don’t know how to cook, they decide to hand them over to the chefs in the canteen after getting the beef. At most, they will pay a small processing fee.
…
night.
Xu Yuan opened the light-traveling gate and evacuated one hundred 'Super Ancient Type II' three-cylinder steam engines to the Ming Dynasty.
But looking at these densely packed machines, I thought of its production capacity of fifty units per month.
The steam ships in Xujiazhuang are expected to reach saturation soon and may not even be able to use so many steam engines.
In this case, you can start to consider selling a few steamships to the Zheng Group in Fujian to enhance its confidence and motivation to cooperate with Xujiazhuang. It is also necessary to give some sweet dates to increase this important brother's dependence on you.
Degree and loyalty.
So Xu Yuan had someone send a telegram to the Zheng Group, conveying the information that he planned to sell three steam-powered shipping cargo ships.
