"Then let's start with the energy aspect." Xiao Zishan turned to the energy team, "Energy is the key to everything. As long as we have electricity, we can use any tools from modern machines to computers - these are all advantages that surpass the ancients.
What does the Equipment and Energy Group think about our power supply issues?”
The person in the energy group who stood up to speak was Chang Kaishen. As a temporary worker, he has worked for a subsidiary of a power group for five years. He is the type of person who does the most work, gets the least money, gets no credit, and takes the blame for you.
“Based on the situation we are facing, it is more appropriate to adopt a power strategy that mainly uses hydropower, supplemented by thermal power and wind power.
"Hydropower has many benefits. I won't go into details here. The biggest benefit for our team is that we don't need to replenish fuel. It can be built once and can be used almost indefinitely.
"At present, small hydropower equipment in rural areas is quite simple, with low installation difficulty and low engineering investment. Aqueducts are used to generate electricity, and they can operate with a water head of 5-6 meters. The technology of this type of equipment is already very mature, and small and micro units
Domestically, serialized and standardized manufacturing has been realized, maintenance is easy, and the price is very low.
"At the same time, we also need thermal power. The prime mover of thermal power can be used in various ways. Diesel generators are easy to use, do not need to be set up, and are not subject to environmental restrictions. They will be the main power generation method in the early stages of our landing."
At this time, someone raised their hand: "The diesel will eventually run out. What will we do then?"
"It's easier to find substitutes for diesel engines. I remember you can also use peanut oil," someone from the energy team said.
"Haha, I don't know if peanut oil is used, but the diesel engine can be changed to a gas engine." Chang Kaishen thought for a moment, "When I was in the countryside, I saw many small power stations using gas engines, so it shouldn't be difficult.
"
"I think we can make diesel in the future." Xiao Zishan said, "Go on."
"Okay," he continued, "based on the attitude of not putting all your eggs in one basket, small and medium-power diesel generators, small hydropower and small wind turbines are all needed. In addition, we need to bring some medium-power hydropower
The unit will have enough engineering capabilities to expand the unit capacity in the future. As for the wind turbine, although the power is too small and the power generation is unstable, it is simple to set up and is more suitable as a backup power supply for living areas, independent bases and systems."
He smiled: "Of course electricity is not that simple. It also involves a series of issues such as power transmission, distribution, and voltage transformation. This is more professional, so I won't explain it. It will take a long time to come up with the specific plan.
"
The next topic is still the answer of the energy group, that is, the replacement of petroleum products. Transmission does not only need generators, they also need to use motorcycles, cars and small boats. Neither gasoline nor diesel can be stored for a long time. If it cannot
Since you are self-sufficient in fuel, there is no need to bring too much of these things.
"Haha, I don't agree with what the host of the meeting said." The next person from the energy group stood up to speak. Luo Duo, who had posted a lot of lengthy posts about energy during online discussions, "But it is said that the host is
Liberal arts students can understand."
Xiao Zishan's face turned red. His biggest resentment was that "liberal arts student" became a contemptuous comment. He suppressed his grief and anger and pretended to be calm.
"Actually, what we are going to talk about is a prime mover issue." Luo Duo obviously did not feel the host's resentment. "Boats, cars, and motorcycles can all be driven by non-petroleum fuels.
Therefore, the problem of petroleum substitutes is not an urgent problem for us to solve.
"Basically, any prime mover that uses petroleum fuel can be transformed into a gas engine for driving. Of course, there will be a certain loss in power. However, at the end of World War II, the Germans experimentally installed gas engines on armored personnel carriers and tanks.
Generator, so the power is acceptable. The technology of gas generator is very simple and practical, and the difficulty of implementation is very low.
"Then let's not forget the steam engine. How many years have the gasoline engine, the diesel engine been around? The steam engine was the engine of the industrial revolution."
"Is there any place to buy a steam engine now? Don't tell us that you plan to ask us to build it." Someone in the mechanical group spoke.
"You are engaged in mechanics, it is not easy to make a steam engine? That is a product of the 19th century!" Luo Duo asked back, "Our prime mover cannot always run on reserves. It will be used up one day."
"We have never built a steam engine before." After the mechanical group whispered for a while, Ma Qianzhu stood up. "Everyone knows the principle of a steam engine, and there are a lot of ready-made design materials. We are confident that we can build it. The boiler is the main difficulty.
, to see how good our materials can be, it depends on the level of the metallurgical department."
"Currently, the metallurgical department is also included in the industrial group." Xiao Zishan explained, "I remember there are professionals in this field."
"Yes, we have a college student majoring in metallurgy." After saying this, several people laughed, and a young boy smiled sheepishly.
"Please coordinate within your group to come up with a plan. Please continue."
"That's all I can think of for the moment." Luo Duo looked very excited and a little tired.
"Why not consider biodiesel?" someone asked, "There have been quite a few reports on this recently, and many countries have entered the practical stage."
"Yes, I remember there is a kerosene tree in Hainan. The oil that flows out from the bark can be used to light lamps."
"It can only be used to light lamps, it is not real kerosene." Ma Qianzhu said there, "Biodiesel is not a simple technology. Although there are many kinds of oil crops that can be used as raw materials, including Camellia oleifera
, tung oil tree, Pistacia chinensis, bamboo tung tree, etc., but the oil produced cannot be directly used as diesel, and must undergo a series of modification treatments. In addition, no matter what kind of kerosene tree or other oil plant you have, just have
A few trees or a small forest are useless. Generally, such planting bases must be more than a hundred acres to form an effective supply."
"By the way, I would like to point out that Phoebe niger can only produce oil when its diameter at breast height reaches 40-50 centimeters. Judging from the current discoveries, Hainan only produces oil in Sanya, Ledong, Dongfang, Changjiang, and Baisha, where the water temperature is relatively high.
, a better area in Danzhou." Someone from the agriculture group spoke.
"We can boil pine root oil. The Japanese did this during World War II. They did not need any special equipment to refine aviation gasoline."
"Yes, but the cost-effectiveness ratio is too pitiful. The Japanese almost had to mobilize the whole people to refine tens of thousands of barrels, and there are not so many pine roots in Hainan for us to dig."
"Where's the alcohol?" the Biofuels Party pressed on.
"It can be used as a substitute, but the calorific value of alcohol is too low, and it has problems with engine carbon deposits, so it is not an ideal substitute."
"I still have some opinions on the substitution of petroleum products." Another person stood up, "My name is Zhong Lishi, and I am engaged in the design of oil shale retort distillation equipment. I once worked for Danzhou City in Hainan
One of the refineries has designed oil refining equipment for kerogen shale.
"The city has abundant kerogen shale reserves, and the products from the oil shale carbonization can be further refined into various petroleum products. From this point of view, making gasoline and diesel is not a problem."
"Where is Danzhou?" someone below whispered.
"It's just to the west of Lingao. Very close."
"Then this resource is really good."
"Let me briefly introduce that the Changpo kerogen shale has an oil content of 5.1% and is associated with lignite. The Changpo mine has two main layers of ore bodies. The thicknesses are 6 meters and 44.5 meters respectively. The mining method is mainly open-pit mining.
"We can use Maoming-type furnaces for processing, with a processing capacity of 50 tons of ore per furnace per day, and an oil recovery rate of 60%. Combined with the 5.1% oil content of Changpo kerogen shale, each furnace can produce 1.5 tons of crude oil per day, and this does not include
Gasoline, ammonia and other by-products.
"This kind of furnace can be built without too many resources and manpower. A small plant with a daily processing capacity of 1,600 tons is put into operation, which is... 32 furnaces. In addition, 2 gas heating furnaces, 1 ventilation room, and 2 scrubbers are needed.
1, 2 cooling towers, 2 chimneys - these are all ready-made design drawings, and the equipment is not difficult to manufacture. Such a plant can obtain 48 tons of crude oil a day, and can also obtain gasoline, ammonia, gas, phenol, etc.
The by-products are all very useful.
"The quality of crude oil from kerogen shale is very good and can be used to refine high-quality diesel, so I think both diesel and gasoline engines can operate normally and there is no need for a gas engine."
"The daily processing capacity is 1,600 tons!" Luo Duo jumped up, "It's not enough even if we all carry rocks!"
"For an oil shale refinery, this is already a very small scale," Zhong Lizhi said with an inscrutable smile of a senior intellectual. "In reality, it is transported by trains and belt conveyors. The oil refinery above
The designed output is not as much as one unit of a certain shale oil plant in reality. The oil plant I provide services has several refining units with greater capacity than this, and the processing capacity of one of their furnaces is 200 tons.
"If you think Changpo's oil production rate is too low, the kerogen shale produced in Penglai, Huang County, Shandong Province is of the best quality, with an oil content of 22%. If we don't have the ability to produce oil in one or two decades, we can consider first
Take it from Shandong."
The crowd below was whispering to each other again. Several people in the sports team were looking at maps of China.
"Let the energy team include this in the long-term plan to see what level our manufacturing industry can reach." Wen Desi said, "Let's continue." He looked at Xiao Zishan, who nodded.
