"I think this matter should be slowed down a little longer?" Wu De said after reading his report.
"Why should you wait a moment?" 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 your 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, some people used Fe3O4 as permanent magnets to build practical generators, but we are not so optimistic about building it. I will not say whether these things can be high-yield. In case of your Great Leap Forward project In the middle of the process, 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 Lingao's existing power generation capacity, if this electrolytic copper workshop is to be built, all the electricity in Lingao will have to be used to ensure continuous production. Temporarily reducing the county's power consumption can only be done for a short period of time. To use it for a long time, new power supply is necessary.
"Electrolytic copper and non-ferrous metals are what we need most," Zhan Wuya said. "There is also a financial department that needs to mint coins, and electrolytic silver must be used to mint coins. This gap is even bigger. Without electrolysis technology, there is no solution. There are also caustic soda"
"My personal opinion is that electricity still needs to be developed. But if we start from a simple step by step, first with things from the 19th century, and then with things from the 20th century, I'm afraid there will be problems with the Great Leap Forward." Wu De frowned and said, "I I remember that in the 19th century, generators of hundreds of kilowatts could be made with 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 possibility of the production process. At least we can make 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 input from many veteran technicians. Although a lot of local industrial technology has been developed for the "Guacaidai", the "local method" this time has taken too big a leap, and some people are afraid that the step is too big and will cause trouble.
"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 mess with it." rise."
"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."
"Okay, I agree." Zhan Wuya shrugged helplessly, "I hope to use the silicon steel sheets that have been produced."
"There is no problem. It can be used experimentally. 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 Director Department held another electrical work meeting. After a day of closed-door consultations, a new plan was finally come up with. In the new plan, the electrolytic copper workshop is launched as planned. At the same time, we will build an independent power station that is not connected to the grid for each of the electrolytic copper workshop and the chemical electrolytic workshop. 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 and was driven by a 1,250-horsepower steam engine. There are also four Ferranti alternators with an operating voltage of ko kilovolts, each driven by a 1-horsepower steam engine. The power of this power station could 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 by modern standards, and it is a typical example of a big, dark and thick power plant. But the advantage is that the material cost requirements are extremely low: all the equipment in the Ferranti Power Station has nothing to do with the difficulties of electric power technology such as silicon steel: not only the generator itself does not use silicon steel, the transformer does not use silicon steel, and even the winding of the rotor is not electrolytic. copper.
And its original design was also capable of high-voltage power transmission of 1 volt. It is very suitable for Lingao's current industrial capabilities.
Lingao's industrial capacity is not yet able to manufacture a 1-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 room for expansion of six generators. As for the manufacture of generators, the power department and the industrial department have reached a 50-50 agreement. The two generators in each power station will use low-carbon steel, and the second generator will use low-grade silicon steel that has been smelted this time and has undergone magnetic testing. In this case, if any problem occurs in any plan, the entire army will not be wiped out.
All the R&D and production of electric motor projects will be cut off. Projects that are not currently urgently needed for electric motors will be axed. All resources will be put first into generator manufacturing.
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 R&D project is retained. Senior engineers are responsible for regular silicon steel trial production work. Extensive search for technical information and process manuals, and conduct more production experiments to see if you can find a production process that can maintain a high yield and magnetic properties.
Another thing is to upgrade the equipment of the rolling mill and step up worker training. At present, the equipment of the steel rolling mill is not fully equipped and there are too few steel rolling workers. In the past, the problem was that the available population was too small and it was difficult to allocate enough manpower. Now the industrial port is preparing to recruit a large number of workers, increase the operating rate of the steel rolling mill, and strive to ensure that various equipment can operate at full capacity. First of all, this is to meet the supply of various low-level profiles that currently have a large gap. Secondly, it can also be produced to promote the improvement of workers' standards. "Now we have to give people something." Wu De looked at the plan and "actually specified that Hundreds of young women work as wire winders, hum, don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking.” He thought that in this way, the quota for industrial workers would 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 methods, not to mention the technical difficulties, the consumption of steel and cement alone is a huge investment.
"We need more water to add rice, and more rice to add water." 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, Shanzhang, this Australian school is really good at teaching without distinction, and it has a lot to offer us."
On this day, Huang Bingkun once again persuaded Liu Dalin and Wang Ci in Molixuan, asking them to discuss matters with Hu Qingbai and others who were in charge of education, so that the gentry in the county could visit Fangcaodi School. , 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 rushing to catch the Australian ship as some people suspected - today's Everyone knows that the situation in Qiongzhou Mansion is about to change. If things don't go well, it's hard to say that in a few years the chairman of the board of directors will be called a loner. Although Australians never say "he can take his place", there are quite a lot of people in the "Old Revolutionary District" of Lingao County who are striving to become ministers of the dragon.
In the past, Huang Bingkun was most afraid of others misunderstanding him as a thief. He often expressed the spirit of "I am a scholar of the Ming Dynasty and will never collude with overseas barbarians" intentionally or unintentionally. However, recently, he no longer tries his best to express himself in public. The government's politics have shifted.
In the past, his "clear-cut" attitude could be openly or covertly appreciated and recognized by many people. 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 what he said.
The reason why such a change has occurred is not that the Australian people are engaged in literary inquisition to suppress public opinion, but that the Australians are now prosperous in Lingao. From the wealthy gentry to the common people, as long as they had not colluded with bandits and pirates and became "objects of dictatorship", they would all benefit from market prosperity and social stability. And looking at the future of this Australian, it is even more immeasurable. In contrast, Huang Bingkun's "integrity" has become an annoying "ignorance of current affairs". It is not surprising that he gradually fell into disfavor. Nowadays, except for a few friends from the county school, 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. Nowadays, it is generally recognized that the owner of Liujiazhai, the first to marry an Australian and join the Tiandihui, is the No. 1 Jin gentry in Lingao.
Huang Bingkun wanted to go to Fangcaodi not just for the sake of A Fu Kun, 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 knew that the Kun thieves would not be driven away within a few years, so he came up with the idea of letting the Huang family's children enter Fangcaodu to study. Method.
In his opinion, what the Australians rely on is their "skills". He does not admit that the Australians have any "learning". The Australians' "powerful boats, powerful guns," "sexy skills," and all their actions in governing Lingao are nothing but "techniques." These people do not understand the teachings of saints. No matter how brilliant the skills are, they are no different from the way of animals and birds. . (To be continued!~!
