The electricians came to the small dock next to the hydropower station. A small power boat with the "Lingao Electric Power" logo painted on the chimney was already on fire and ready to go.
Originally, the electric power company had a few bicycles for patrolling, but there were too many places where bicycles were needed, so everyone paid attention to bicycles. It happened that the main transmission line of Lingao Electric Power radiated along the Wenlan River, so
Several bicycles belonging to the power company were "reasonably" recycled by the Planning Institute. As compensation, a small boat was transferred to the power company for use: After the completion of the first phase of the Wenlan River comprehensive management project, the water depth in the dry season reached
1.5 meters. After clearing part of the river rocks and shoals, the small boat can go directly from the hydropower station to Bopu Port, and the speed is reasonable.
Tom Liu led people on board the boat and waved to the stoker of the small boat. The stoker opened the damper and started the steam engine, and the boat started with a sudden burst of black smoke. For the sake of balance, the steam engine and boiler of the small boat were installed on the hull.
In the middle of the ship, Tom Liu and the others went on the front deck - the view was good and there was no choking soot.
The small boat drove downstream along the river. A group of people sat on the boat, divided into two lines and looking at the transmission lines on both sides of the river. The power company initially only had one 10kv transmission line on the east bank of the river, supplying Bairen City and Bairen Industry.
With the expansion of the industrial zone, a 10kv transmission line was built on the west bank of the river, so two transmission lines can be inspected at the same time along the Wenlan River.
These two lines use tarred wooden poles, and 10kv cross-linked cables are erected on the poles - the cables, power transmission and transformation equipment and insulating porcelain bottles all come from another time and space. Although this power grid is based on the standards of the old time and space
Although the level is very low, it is something that the Senate's industrial system cannot replicate in the short term. It is even difficult to maintain based on the current level of industrial technology.
According to the regular power inspection regulations, unless there are special circumstances, this 10kv level line is usually inspected once a month and once every six months at night. However, Lingao Electric Power is inspected every day, not only during the day but also at night.
Armed patrols escorted by security personnel. On the one hand, it is to prevent sabotage. On the other hand, the probability of problems with this original power grid is much higher than in the old time and space.
Not to mention the small power generation capacity of Lingao, Liu Tom knows that the most difficult thing to do is the extremely poor peak shaving capacity of Lingao's power grid. Power generation and power consumption must be balanced. If there is more power generation and less power consumption, the voltage of the grid will decrease.
It will rise. When the grid voltage rises to a certain level, many electrical equipment will burn out. On the contrary, when there is less power generation and more electricity consumption, the grid voltage will drop. For some equipment, such as computers and TVs, it doesn't matter if it is low, so you can make do with it.
, other motor-type equipment may also be burned.
Therefore, the power grid has always been about balance and stability. That is to say, the power plant must always monitor the grid voltage. If the voltage is high, the power generation must be reduced. If the voltage is low, the power generation must be increased. A common method is to adjust the load of the power plant.
, for example, a hydropower station can close some gates and thermal power plants burn less coal.
Specifically, Lingao's power dispatch center needs to adjust the load 24 hours a day according to the load situation of the power grid - a dedicated person keeps an eye on the meter and notifies the power station at any time to increase or decrease power generation.
Moreover, the power grid in Lingao is particularly complex: some heavy industrial enterprises that must use electricity for some production equipment have a net pulse load: electricity is used in bursts, and the load is extremely heavy. Every time the equipment is turned on, all the light bulbs in Lingao will be turned on.
It flashed a few times. Every time it made Tom Liu’s little heart flutter.
As for various accidents, they are countless. Hundreds of naturalized citizens and indigenous people die every year in power accidents. Half of the electricians who follow Tom Liu on inspections now have been compensated in the past two months.
Come in. From 1630 to 1632, the average survival period of each electrician was no more than three months. The shortest one lived only 4 hours. It was the largest killer company besides chemical plants, so that it could only be the same as chemical plants.
Use indentured servants.
"Sooner or later, this kind of power grid will make people mentally ill." Liu Tom muttered, remembering that one month old Chang summoned a few of their "elite backbones" for a meeting and announced that the executive committee had passed the "1633 Electricity Regulation Record", and soon
Sufficient budget and manpower will be allocated to carry out "power **".
At that time, everyone felt that it was not reliable, and even the person who conveyed the spirit, Chang Chang, was not confident - they all had a background in electric power, and they were well aware of the complexity and difficulty of electric power system engineering. There was no other way.
He said that the electric pens they brought with them when they came out for inspection could not be manufactured in the short term, and they were so old that they would be used up sooner or later. Tom Liu did not have high expectations of being able to make electric pens in his lifetime.
No, the "technical roadmap meeting" that was originally said to be "convened soon" has become silent. It has been held for almost a month.
The inspection went smoothly, and the small boat arrived at Bobu. A dam had been erected at the mouth of the Wenlan River at Bobu. Ships entering and exiting between the harbor and the Wenlan River needed to pass through the ship lock.
The scale of the dams and locks is not worth mentioning according to the standards of the old time and space. Even according to the standards of the locks on the Grand Canal in this time and space, the locks and dams of Bobu are not considered "grand" buildings, but at the level of mechanization
But it is unique. The opening and closing of the sluice, water injection and pumping all use steam power.
There were not many ships going between Bopu and the bay. The small boat quickly entered the ship room. The pump driven by the steam engine began to pump water from the ship market. Soon the water level was the same as the sea level in the harbor. The winch driven by the steam engine
There was a low roar, the sluice gate gradually opened, and the small boat burst into Bobu Bay with black smoke.
The place Tom Liu went to was the "Holy Ship", to be precise, it was the Bopu Fengcheng Power Station. This power station was actually the marine generator set on the Fengcheng Ship.
Fengchenglun's marine generator set is not large and uses heavy oil to generate electricity. The output power is 100kw. Although it is not as powerful as the 600kw power generation of the three turbines of Bairen Hydropower Station, it is also a main power station under Lingao Electric Power. Energy
The Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of Machinery Industry converted it to gas power, and for this purpose a gasifier was installed on the deck of the Fengcheng ship.
"Chief, the semaphore is starting to sound on the ship." The crew member on the small boat reported.
"Semaphore: x**90." Liu Tom looked at his notebook carefully and said.
This is the access code notified to him by the Bopu Port Authority yesterday. It is only valid once for the day. Close to the Fengcheng Ship - whether on land or sea, a strict security system must be followed - any ship only needs to enter the port 200 meters away from the Fengcheng Ship.
The cordon must use semaphores or light signals to announce the pass code, otherwise the "Sacred Ship Protection Plan" will be triggered.
Once the guards on the ship think that the incoming ship is suspicious and has "bad intentions", the typewriters and Hotchkiss machine guns on the deck of the holy ship will fire violently. Out of curiosity or to watch the fun, the final incident of the indigenous ship being destroyed has already occurred.
It has happened more than once. Tom Liu does not intend to be the first veteran to win the bid.
"Passage granted." The flag bearer on the deck of the holy ship sent back the signal.
The small power boat of Lingao Electric Power first sailed around the holy ship, and then checked the floating rafts used to erect transmission cables. Liu Tom checked the twisted pair cables - the cables were thickly wrapped with a layer of deerskin, and
It is coated with tar to resist the humid air with high salt content in the bay. This has a strong corrosive effect on the core of the cable. You must pay more attention to it and repair it if there is corrosion and peeling.
After looking around, the small boat came to the bridge, and Tom Liu and his party boarded the "holy ship". The only people who could board the ship were himself and a few electricians who had lived for more than a year.
According to the resolution of the Senate, there must always be more than one senator stationed on the holy ship, responsible for inspecting and taking care of the holy ship. In the past, many senators actively signed up for this position. As Lingao's infrastructure is getting better and better, it was originally regarded as a "high-end hotel"
The "Fengcheng Hotel" gradually became desolate. It was not a pleasant thing for a man to lead a group of naturalized people in a big iron shell that was cool in winter and hot in summer.
Mond greeted them on the deck of the gangway. The only elder on the ship now is him, the "harbour director" who had to stay here. Of course, he can also be regarded as his professional counterpart. After all, Mond is also a college student majoring in navigation.
People are more familiar with the equipment on the ship than he is.
Since it was rare for a senator to come to the ship here in Mondstadt, he was very enthusiastic about Tom Liu, who visited regularly. He was introduced to the cockpit.
The boat was empty and dark. It seemed like a world away from the bustling scene where it used to be the "Fengcheng Hotel".
Freighters, as a microcosm of the industrial society of the 20th century, had a lot of equipment available on them. Therefore, soon after D-Day, various materials and equipment began to be dismantled from the ship and put into use in Anshan. Now not only the machine shop on the ship, but also the health clinic
Important equipment has already been dismantled, and even common living facilities, ranging from air conditioners and refrigerators to chandeliers, faucets and light bulbs, have also been dismantled. In the previous stage, even the winches and wire ropes on the booms were also partially removed.
For safety reasons, most of the unused cabins on the ship have been completely enclosed, except for the various cargo holds on the ship that continue to be used as bulk cargo warehouses.
The cockpit and the sailor's living area behind it belong to the cabin that is still in use. Mond, his life secretary, and several servants currently live here. They are also equipped with a small team of soldiers and workers from the Lingao Guard Battalion. The workers
The task of the ship is to perform simple maintenance tasks such as regular rust removal and tar application. Every month, the veterans of the machinery factory will come to perform a "major maintenance" to ensure that the electronic and mechanical equipment on the ship are in good condition.
