Chapter 76 Astronomical Instruments Exhibition 1
Zhang Yi surrounded the assembled astronomical telescope and couldn't come up with any good ideas for a while. After all, such a large telescope would definitely not be transported to Hangzhou by road.
However, due to time constraints, it would be too late to transport the telescope by sea. After all, cargo ships are not trucks, they are very slow, and loading and unloading is also very troublesome, not to mention that even if he transported the telescope to
There is absolutely no way to transport the telescope from the port in Hangzhou to the exhibition site.
After thinking about it, Zhang Yi could only ask the workers to disassemble the telescope again. Fortunately, the transportation issue had been considered during the design.
Therefore, the base and barrel of the telescope can be broken down into several parts. For example, the base of this telescope was originally more than seven meters wide, but after it was disassembled, the maximum width of each component would not exceed 2.5 meters.
, and the weight will not exceed 1 ton, so after being disassembled, other components can be easily transported by large trucks.
However, even after it is disassembled, there is still one major component of the telescope that is very difficult to transport, and that is the main lens of the telescope.
You must know that the diameter of the main lens of this telescope is six meters, while the average truck carriage is only 2.5 meters.
Even if it is standing, this one will not work. You must know that the average height of the bridge along the way is only about five meters. It is impossible to pass at such a height, which makes Zhang Yi very unhappy.
"Is there really no other way? Or can we only ship this lens by sea? There are only two days left before the exhibition starts.
Even if we take sea transport, we can't reach Hangzhou in two days." Zhang Yi knew very well that at this time, even if we take sea transport, it would be too late, because Xian County is a mountainous area, there are no big rivers here, and ships cannot come in at all. But if we arrive in San
If Linxian is ten kilometers away, there is a river. If we have a little more time, shipping by sea is not impossible.
In desperation, Zhang Yi could only call the county traffic police brigade to inquire about the feasibility of road transportation.
After all, even if it is to be transported by road, something with a width of more than six meters is considered to be transported as an extra-wide object, so it must be applied for.
After asking the traffic police department, Zhang Yi quickly got the answer he wanted. Since the width of his telescope lens reached six meters, it already belonged to the transportation of Category III ultra-wide objects.
The conditions for transporting large objects on three types of roads given by the traffic police department must meet the following points:
1. Vehicle equipment: A vehicle set with the actual ability to load large objects as a whole, including a tractor and a trailer, and with corresponding accessories. The vehicle set is in good technical condition and can successfully pass an 8% road gradient under heavy load conditions.
2. Technical staff: There shall be a deputy manager in charge of technology; there shall be no less than one professional technical staff in automobile operation with the title of senior engineer. The team leader in charge of technology must have more than six years of practical experience in the transportation of large objects.
3. Skilled workers: Super-heavy vehicle drivers, super-heavy vehicle trailers, and road transport crane workers who meet the "Technical Level Standards for Workers in the Transportation Industry", including no less than 1 senior worker of each type of work.
After learning the details, Zhang Yi immediately asked the workers in the factory to dismantle the telescope first, and he immediately drove a car to the county traffic police brigade, and described in detail to the county traffic police brigade the appearance of the lenses to be transported, and also told the county traffic police brigade
The traffic police brigade submitted a transportation application.
Zhang Yi soon got the answer he wanted. However, because his lenses were ultra-wide items, he could only take the national highway. Fortunately, even if he took the national highway, there were still more than two days left today. Arrive in Hangzhou.
The city is still within reach.
So Zhang Yi immediately called a large semi-trailer, and after a lot of hardships, it finally arrived at the exhibition site at around 12 o'clock in the evening before the exhibition.
And immediately assembled the telescope. At the same time, Zhang Yi also saw that in addition to their Colorful Stone, many manufacturers were also installing instruments. However, the only manufacturer installing large astronomical telescopes was Zhang Yi's Colorful Stone Machinery.
One factory.
Installing a large astronomical telescope is still very troublesome. Even during the day, Zhang Yi's telescope takes two to three hours to complete, and it takes even longer at night, until 6 o'clock in the morning.
This astronomical telescope with a diameter of six meters was installed and debugged by Zhang Yi and others and they were waiting for the exhibition to begin.
.....
At 8 a.m. on September 30, with the anticipation of many astronomy enthusiasts and professionals, the Hangzhou Astronomical Instrument Exhibition finally started at the Observatory.
As time passed, after the door of the venue opened, the venue soon became crowded with people. However, after these people arrived, many of them first went to the booths of large foreign companies to see their products, such as Mutian,
Galilee, Xingte and other well-known brands in the field of astronomy.
For domestic manufacturers like Zhang Yi, few people came to watch. Although this kind of thing made Zhang Yi a little angry, it also made Zhang Yi feel helpless and sad for the domestic manufacturers.
But if you look at the products exhibited by these domestic manufacturers and the products of these foreign manufacturers, you will know why.
The exhibiting products carried by these well-known foreign manufacturers are not to mention other astronomical instruments, such as planetary instruments, sidereal instruments, encoders and a series of products.
On the other hand, domestic manufacturers only have a few products, and there is nothing else. Take telescopes for example.
Although the telescopes carried by foreign manufacturers this time do not have a diameter exceeding two meters, their diameters are much larger than those of domestic manufacturers.
Except for Zhang Yi and others, none of the telescopes brought to the exhibition by domestic manufacturers had a telescope with an aperture of more than one meter.
The largest astronomical telescope Zhang Yi saw at the scene was the astronomical telescope of Modu Instruments. Its diameter was only about 20 inches, or less than one meter, and it was a joint venture.
Although Zhang Yi knows that some domestic manufacturers have some strength and can produce astronomical telescopes with a diameter of about one meter.
But at this time, no manufacturer was exhibiting. On the other hand, among these foreign manufacturers, many of their astronomical telescopes had a diameter of more than one meter.
There is even an astronomical telescope carried by one manufacturer that reaches 2 meters, and there are more than one. From this, we can see the gap between domestic manufacturers and foreign manufacturers.
At this time, some visitors also came to Zhang Yi's booth. After all, their colorful stone telescope was also famous in the industry during this period. Of course, this was only within the scope of Jiangnan Province. If once they go out of Jiangnan
Chapter completed!
