"I think this matter should be slowed down a little longer?" Wu De said after reading his report...
"Why should you wait a little longer?" Zhan Wuya said eagerly, "This is a big breakthrough-"
Wu De shook his head repeatedly: "We can't even talk about a big breakthrough. You also have an industrial background. Can you concentrate manpower, especially veteran technicians, and pile up things regardless of cost to ensure stable production with a certain rate of qualified products? And this permanent magnet manufacturing.
――Although in the 19th century, someone used Fe3O4 as a permanent magnet to build a practical generator, I'm afraid we are not so optimistic about building one. I won't say whether these things can be highly productive. In case you*
*Halfway through the project, what should you do if the manufacturing of generators and transformers suddenly fails due to problems with permanent magnets and silicon steel sheets? Wouldn’t your electrolytic copper workshop become a waste?”
Based on the existing power generation capacity of Lingao, if we really want to build this electrolytic copper workshop, all the electricity in Lingao will have to be used to ensure continuous production. Temporarily reducing the power consumption of the entire county can only be done for a short period of time.
Long-term use requires additional power supply.
"Electrolytic copper and non-ferrous metals are what we need most," Zhan Wuya said. "There is also a financial outlet that needs to mint coins - electrolytic silver must also be used to mint coins. This gap will be even bigger. Without electrolysis technology, there will be no need."
Solution. And caustic soda..."
"My personal opinion is that electricity still needs to be developed. But if we start from the simple step by step, first using things from the 19th century, and then from the 20th century, I'm afraid there will be problems." Wu De frowned and said, "
I remember that in the 19th century, generators of hundreds of kilowatts could be made using mild steel and iron cores. If we reluctantly use these things that are not even considered defective to build equipment, I am afraid that there will be frequent equipment explosions and sudden power outages."
"Then wouldn't all of this we have done in vain?"
"It's not in vain. At least we have accumulated production experience and trained our team. We have also verified the possibilities of the production process. At least we can produce qualified ferrosilicon, and at least we can make less qualified silicon steel."
What Wu De said was not his own idea, but the result of the input of many veteran technicians. Although "Guacaidai" has developed a lot of indigenous industrial technology, the leap forward in launching this "indigenous method" is too big
, quite a few people are afraid of walking too fast and breaking their balls.
"Is this the opinion of the Planning Institute?"
"Yes." Wu De said, "I don't disagree with your plan, but after a comprehensive evaluation, the Planning Institute believes that this plan is too aggressive. I hope you can come up with a more appropriate plan that can ensure stable production -
We can’t afford it.”
"Where's the electrolytic copper workshop?"
"As long as you can come up with a more reliable power supply solution - based on existing mature technology - we can discuss it again."
"Okay, I agree." Zhan Wuya shrugged helplessly, "I hope to use the silicon steel sheets that have been produced."
"There is no problem, experimental applications can be carried out. And I hope that the trial production of silicon steel sheets can continue until the industrial port can stably produce qualified silicon steel sheets. As for the electrolytic copper workshop, as long as it can solve the problem of electricity, I will approve it.
."
In the following days, the Manufacturing Directorate held another electric power work meeting. After a day of closed-door consultation, a new plan was finally come up with. In the new plan, the electrolytic copper workshop was launched as planned. At the same time, the electrolytic copper workshop and chemical electrolysis
Each workshop manufactures a power station that is not connected to the grid. The plan of the power station is roughly based on the power station built by the London Electric Company in Tedford in 1887. This power station was designed and built by Ferranti.
The old Tedford Power Station was equipped with two Ferranti alternators, with an operating voltage of 5 kV, driven by a 1,250-horsepower steam engine. There were also four Ferranti alternators, with an operating voltage of 10
Kilovolts, each generator is driven by a 10,000-horsepower steam engine. The power of this power station can meet the electricity demand of most areas of London at that time-but the electricity demand at that time was mainly for electric lights.
The power generation capacity of this power station is relatively small according to modern standards, and it is typical of being big and black. However, the advantage is that the material cost requirements are extremely low: all the equipment in the Ferranti Power Station has nothing to do with difficult electric power technologies such as silicon steel:
Not only does the generator itself not use silicon steel, the transformer does not use silicon steel, and even the winding of the rotor is not electrolytic copper. Moreover, its original design can also carry out high-voltage power transmission of 10,000 volts. It is very suitable for Lingao's current industrial capabilities.
Lingao's industrial capacity is not yet able to manufacture a 10,000-horsepower steam engine, but a 1,000-horsepower steam engine is not a problem. Faraday and others decided to install four generators in each power station, leaving no room for expansion of six. As for the manufacture of generators,
The result of the discussion between the power department and the industrial department was 50-50. The two generators in each power station used low carbon steel, and the two generators used the low-grade silicon steel that was smelted this time and passed the magnetic test. In this case, any company
If there is any problem with any of these plans, the entire army will not be wiped out.
All R&D and production of electric motor projects have been cut off - electric motors are not an urgently needed project at present, and all resources will be put into generator manufacturing first.
The development of permanent magnet materials continues. Although permanent magnet generators are not a trend, permanent magnets are widely used and can be used as a technical reserve.
As for the production of silicon steel, this research and development project will be retained. Veteran engineers will be responsible for regular trial production of silicon steel. Extensively search for technical information and process manuals, and conduct more production tests to see if they can find a method that can maintain a high yield and magnetic properties.
The production process of the surname.
Another thing is to upgrade the equipment of the steel rolling mill and intensify the training of workers. At present, the equipment of the steel rolling mill is incomplete and there are too few rolling workers. In the past, it was limited by the small available population and it was difficult to allocate enough manpower. Now the industry
The port is preparing to recruit a large number of workers, increase the operating rate of the steel rolling mill, and try to strive for full load operation of various equipment. This is first of all to meet the supply of various low-level profiles that currently have a large gap, and secondly, it can also be produced to promote the improvement of workers' standards.
"Now you have to give people something again." Wu De looked at the plan, "You actually specified that hundreds of young women should be employed as wire winders. Hum, don't think I don't know what you are thinking." He said.
Thinking of this, the quota for industrial exports will be increased again. The supporting upgrade of the steel rolling mill is another bottomless pit. Even if the equipment of the steel rolling mill is equipped with local production support, not to mention the technical difficulties, the consumption of steel and cement alone
Quantity means huge investment.
"We have to add rice to the water, and water to the rice." He sighed and thought, heavy industry is a bottomless pit, with only input and almost no output, but the industrial system cannot operate at all without it.
"Wang Jiaoyu, Chief of the Mountain, this Australian school is indeed teaching without distinction, and it has a lot to offer us -"
On this day, Huang Bingkun once again persuaded Liu Dalin and Wang Ci at Moli Xuan to discuss matters with Hu Qingbai and others who were in charge of education in Kuntai, so that the gentry in the county could visit the Fangcaodi School - "Heshan Mountain".
Stone, can you attack jade?"
Huang Bingkun so actively invited Liu Dalin and Wang Ci to negotiate with the Kun thieves. Naturally, he was not "loving the Song Dynasty", nor was he in a hurry to catch the Australians' ship as some people had guessed - now
The situation in Qiongzhou Prefecture is about to change. Everyone knows that things are going to change in Qiongzhou Prefecture. If things go wrong, it will be hard to say that Chairman Wen will be called a loner in a few years. Although Australians never say such words as "he can replace him", but in this
In the "old revolutionary area" of Lingao County, there are quite a few people who are striving to become ministers of Conglong.
In the past, Huang Bingkun was most afraid of others misunderstanding that he was a thief. He often expressed his spirit intentionally or unintentionally, "I am a scholar of the Ming Dynasty and will never collude with overseas barbarians." However, recently, he no longer tries his best to express himself in public.
political tendency.
In the past, his "clear-cut" attitude was appreciated and recognized by many people, either explicitly or covertly. However, as the situation changed, those who originally praised him, agreed with him, and echoed him began to remain silent, and were even unwilling to cooperate with him.
When he was together, some people even started to "advise" him to be careful in his words.
The reason why such a change has occurred is not that the Australians are engaged in literary inquisition and suppression of politics, but that the Australians are now prosperous in Lingao, with flowers blooming and brocades burning, and the county rising to the top.
From the wealthy gentry to the common people, as long as they did not collude with bandits and pirates and became "objects of dictatorship", they would benefit more or less from the prosperous market and social stability. And the future of this Australian is immeasurable.
In contrast, Huang Bingkun's "integrity" has become an annoying "ignorance of current affairs". It is not surprising that he is gradually being ignored. Until now, except for a few friends in the county school,
Except for Wang Jiaoyu and Liu Jinshi, few people care about the second young master of the Huang family. In the past, Huangjiazhai, the "backbone" of the county, has become dispensable. Now it is recognized that the earliest and Australian people
After marrying and joining the Tiandihui, the owner of Liujiazhai became the No. 1 Jin gentry in Lingao.
Huang Bingkun wanted to go to Fangcaodi not because of the A Fu Kun bandits, nor simply to see how Australians run schools. He had another purpose: ever since he saw the piles of armor and flags left by the defeated soldiers that day, he
He knew that the Kun thief would not be driven away within a few years, so he thought of a way to let the Huang family's children enter Fangcaodi to study.
In his opinion, what the Australians rely on is their "skills" - he does not admit that the Australians have any "learning". The Australians have "strong ships and powerful guns" and "skillful military skills", including the management of Lingao
All their actions are nothing but "techniques" - these people are not familiar with the learning of saints, and no matter how brilliant their skills are, they are no different from the way of animals and birds. (To be continued.)
