Secondly, I was disappointed to think that the navigation ability of Nandu River was so miserable. [Read the latest chapter] What kind of boat is there in this water depth?
Just using the Ming Dynasty water transport ships to transport coal also required some renovation of the waterway. As for the river-sea intermodal transport of large ships, it is even more necessary to carry out comprehensive channel dredging and regulation of the entire downstream. Even if the entire Hainan is now in the hands of Chuan Chuan Group, and Wuzi's manpower is open to supply, the scale of this project and the huge investment will probably have to occupy a place in the five-year plan.
"So let's think of a solution based on the boat."
"Install a motor for the traffic boat. The faster the traffic boat is, the more times the traffic boat will be able to run. The more times the traffic boat is run, the more tons of transportation capacity will be increased!"
Xiaoan has a small steam engine. The steam engine used in this kind of small boat is now easy to manufacture. "Jiang Ye said, "And you can use Li Di's small steam engine as a replica.
Of course, part of the payload will be sacrificed after installing a steam engine, but the total transport capacity will be increased by running a few more times, which is worth the cost.
"Check whether the load of the traffic boat is pure. If you install a steam engine, you must also load burning coal. The load loss is too big. I think it is better to build a tugboat." Wang Luobin said, "The power of the steam engine can be made larger, and then the power of the steam engine can be increased. A dozen small barges are carried on each other. The old-fashioned small flat-bottomed barges found in British canals are very suitable. The shape and size of this thing are similar to a rectangular open box. The structure is as simple as possible, and the draft is very shallow. "
The final result of the discussion was to immediately start replicating small steam engines and build small barges. In addition, a mineral processing plant will be built in Jiazi Coal Mine.
This is Luo Feng's suggestion. Since the current transportation capacity is tight. Why not do some reverse thinking?
"Tang Menglong's report to the Industrial Energy Commission clearly stated that the content of lignite only accounts for 10% of the total. And some of it is not suitable for coking. Coal lithium and other low calorific value media account for the majority of the production capacity. It is better to select first and then transport, only Transport out the lignite suitable for coking, and leave the rest in the Jiazi Coal Mine for the time being. Anyway, there is a lot of wasteland in this time and space.
"Actually, coal and stone have many uses. At least they can burn cement."
"Compared with cement, coking is more important." Luo Zhong said, "Besides, after occupying Qiongshan, we can use it locally. There is no need to go all the way to Lingao to pollute the environment.
"Why don't you just go to Jiazi Mine's coking shop? I've seen the open-type coke oven over there. It's very simple in structure and doesn't have much technical content."
"Ji Tuisi won't kill you yet." Wang Luobin said, "Wouldn't the coal-coking joint production equipment he worked so hard to get from Yinshiji become useless? The power of this thing is the comprehensive utilization of coking. It directly processes the tar produced during coking. and waste gas, producing various by-products. If you bring the coke oven to Jiazi Mine, what else will he do?"
In the past, the use of foaming furnaces was mainly due to the unstable supply of coking coal, and once the combined equipment was ignited and could not be started and stopped, it was never put into formal operation. Now that there are stable supply channels, the highly polluting and wasteful polyester furnaces have become the first batch of backward technologies included in the elimination list by the Planning Commission.
Ma Qianzhu happily approved the Jiazi Coal Mine upgrade plan proposed by the Industrial and Energy Commission, and allocated the necessary raw materials and various equipment to establish a stable coal supply system. Now it is a top priority.
Xiao Gui and others, who were in charge of the steam engine imitation work, first placed Li forced on the American-made small steam engine in the shipyard workshop. requisition. .
Under Li Po's distressed gaze, the small steam engine was dismantled into eight pieces and marked and mapped one by one. Prepare to do reverse engineering.
"Laomei's industrial design is really good!" Xiao Gui was full of praise as he looked at the parts all over the floor. "The structure is really clever
"Can it be imitated?" Ran Yao asked.
"We can't do it exactly the same. Its processing technology and materials are beyond our reach. But our requirements are also low. We can enlarge the size of the parts a little, so that they are almost the same.
While Xiao Gui and Zhou Bili started imitating the Mu steam turbine, the Jiazi Coal Mine Concentrator started construction. Lin Yiguang felt the pressure was heavy. In his original imagination, the Jiazi Coal Mine was just like a small coal mine. A few hundred people secretly dig some coal, then take it to Haijia Pier for loading and that's it. I didn’t expect this stall to be unexpectedly big.
"Let's keep going like this. Isn't this Jiazi Coal Mine clearly labeled as the Australian name "Sanjie"?" Lin Yiguang complained. The coal washing plant is located near the yard of Jiazi Wharf. There is sufficient water here for coal washing. Coal washing is a high-water-consuming industry, and each ton of coal requires pure water. Of course it is also very convenient to discharge sewage by the river. There is no advanced technology in coal washing, and the technical content of the equipment is not high. It is nothing more than crushers, jigs, dewatering screens and other equipment, which are not difficult to manufacture. The main coal washing facility is the chute.
The power of the coal washing plant is a steam engine, and the Industrial Energy Commission shipped a second boiler and two Tianmai Mozi II steam engines to the Jiazidi Mine. Quan Yuyun is not at Jiazi Pier. One drives a water pump. One drives coal washing equipment. The washed drying stone is used as fuel, and the factory is designed to process tens of millions of tons of raw coal per year.
"Since the Jiazi Pier is equipped with a steam engine, we might as well transport a steam crane there. The loading and unloading speed at the terminal will be much faster. Otherwise, the steam from the boiler will be wasted," Ma Qianxu said.
Zhan Wuya said: "We also need to add a complete set of equipment at Haijia Pier. Otherwise, it will be blocked while it is open"!
"The problem at Haijia Wharf is not big. We can use the local indigenous labor force to engage in human wave tactics. The labor force is not valuable anyway." Ma Qianxu thought for a moment. "It's not that I don't want to part with a few pieces of equipment. After all, this is the core area of Ming Dynasty's rule. It's too blatant to use steam engines and boilers." Soon a steel monster with iron arms and continuous spitting out white steam was erected on the bank of Nandu River. The nearby pumping station uses the power of steam engines to pump river water and supply a large amount of water to the entire coal washing plant. A three-story building with long wooden troughs was built behind it. This was the coal washing plant. The original butterfly is lifted to the media warehouse on the third floor with a winch driven by a steam engine. From the third floor, it goes through a process of screening, washing, and jigging, and finally the clean coal is discharged at the bottom. The media annihilation stone and inferior media are discharged in the chute midway. The black water from coal washing is discharged into the wastewater pool for sedimentation and then discharged into the Nandu River sedimentation tank, where a large amount of coal dust can be recovered. This final media contains a lot of water. It takes a long time to dry. Wang Luobin took advantage of its high water content to set up a briquette workshop here, using a steam engine to drive a briquette machine to make honeycomb media.
Although the dark lignite shipped regularly from Jiazi Coal Mine is relatively small due to transportation capacity, it has finally solved the instability of Guangdong's media supply.
Ji Tuisi from the Ministry of Chemical Industry can finally safely put into use the complete set of coal coking equipment that has not been officially put into operation since its construction and run it at full capacity for continuous production.
The formal production of complete sets of media and coking equipment has brought great development to Hengqixue Industry. The simplest change is the shutdown of the local sulfuric acid workshop. The pollution was serious, and the quality of sulfuric acid fluctuated. The indigenous sulfuric acid was replaced by industrially produced sulfuric acid. Other by-products such as gasoline, diesel, asphalt, phenol, toluene, crude benzene, various solvent oils, lubricants and paraffin also began to be produced one by one. Especially lubricating oils and paraffins. It is a blessing for the machinery industry. The lubrication performance of coconut oil scraps is limited after all. In addition to its industrial use, paraffin wax also gave the Ministry of Light Industry an opportunity to manufacture brand-new civilian products - modern candles. Candles made with paraffin as the main raw material are not only lower in cost than traditional grease candles, but also not comparable to old candles in terms of brightness. The treated cotton candle wick can also be burned gradually as the candle burns, and will not produce candle flowers, which will affect the burning of black smoke and odor. As for gasoline and diesel, although the production is extremely limited, it also brings some hope to the internal combustion engines whose fuel reserves are gradually depleting. At least some vehicles will not become the weird appearance of carrying a gas bag.
"Now that we have firewood for steelmaking, we are just waiting for rice for cooking. At a five-year plan implementation work meeting at the beginning of the state, Ji Wusheng from the Ministry of Steel Industry said, "The third phase of the steel plant expansion project will be completed next year. unfolded in April. "
The second phase of the steel plant is already under construction. All completed by month. The second phase is mainly to improve the smelting facilities of the steel plant, install steel rolling equipment and increase the production capacity of converter steelmaking. Steel plant production still mainly uses imported pig iron to make steel. No pig iron industry of its own was established. The third phase of the project will build two new blast furnaces, two open-hearth furnaces, and a new iron ore dressing plant. The ore in Tiandu is of high grade and can be directly used to make steel. The Ministry of Steel Industry plans to sort the ores and use the best-grade ores to make steel directly, while the lower-grade ores will be used to make pig iron.
The blast furnace under design has a capacity of 10,000 cubic meters and can produce pig iron up to Rentun in a day and night. In terms of technical level, it has reached the level of the old century. If the two blast furnaces are started at the same time, the annual pig iron output will be 10,000 tons. This number makes everyone feel bright. The witch workers are setting up pig iron! You must know that during the Industrial Revolution, Britain's annual pig iron output was no more than 1,000 tons.
"This is simply a mountain of steel and an ocean of steel." Wang Luobin was very excited. With such a huge pig iron production capacity, steel is no longer the bottleneck restricting Lingao's industrialization. Railways, iron-hulled ships, large factories with all-steel frame structures, reinforced concrete buildings, and complete sets of industrial equipment are all not to mention.
With a massive supply of steel, the industrial production of Chuanchuan Group can get rid of the current small-scale processing plant-like scale. On the road to real large-scale industrial production. . If you want to know what happened next. Please log in to 6 Zhu for more chapters, support the author, and support genuine reading! ! ~!
