"I understand this, but there is no way to solve it for now. We don't have technicians in the power field and can't build large generators." Chen Kang nodded helplessly.

Currently, all generators in the base are 100% imported. Some are diesel-electric generators from German MAN Company, and some are diesel-electric generators from the United States. They are all small generators below 20KW, with a total power generation capacity of only about 5 kw per hour.

"This is the drawing of the 2×10MW small thermal power station I designed." Zhuang Qianding smiled and then took out a design drawing.

"What does 2×10MW mean?" Looking at the drawings in front of him, Chen Kang was a little confused. He felt that this unit of measurement seemed very large, but he didn't know what the specific concept was.

Lin Wan reminded: "Chief, it is 20,000 kilowatts, generating 20,000 kilowatt hours per hour, and 480,000 kilowatt hours of electricity in 24 hours."

"Twenty thousand kilowatt hours of electricity per hour?!" Chen Kang was completely confused this time. He looked at the design drawings of the thermal power plant and looked straight at it.

The thermal power station given by Professor Zhuang has a power generation capacity that is forty times that of the base area!

"Don't be so surprised. The installed capacity of the Hoover Hydropower Station in the United States is 1.34 million KW, consisting of 10×130MW water turbine units. Not to mention the thermal power stations of the Chicago Power Plant, each of which starts with a 100MW steam turbine. This thermal power station is actually just a small

Guy." Zhuang Qianding gently expressed his understanding of Chen Kang's shock and introduced him calmly.

"..." Chen Kang fell into silence, feeling a little confused.

He could not understand the concept of 10×130MW hydraulic turbine unit at all.

Is the United States already so powerful?

While they were still worrying about making generators, the United States had already built 130MW turbines, and one hydropower station installed ten of these turbines!

The other people in the Military Industry Bureau looked at each other in silence.

The atmosphere is somewhat quiet.

"Professor Zhuang, how much does it cost to build this thermal power plant and how long does it take?" After a few seconds, Chen Kang came to his senses, took a deep breath, and spoke firmly and resolutely.

No matter what, don't lose confidence.

Zhuang Qianding gave the data: "The cost of electricity per kilowatt hour is 15 oceans, about 300,000 silver dollars, which can take up to five months and take up to a year."

"Professor Zhuang, you need to take the lead in the thermal power station project. The Military Industry Bureau has full cooperation with you. If you need anything, just ask." Chen Kang took a deep breath and responded.

The price is not expensive and acceptable.

Time is not a problem either.

"There is nothing needed for the time being. Technically, I will be in charge." Zhuang Qianding shook his head and said.

"..." The corners of Chen Kang's mouth twitched slightly.

"Today's meeting ends here. All departments of the Military Industry Bureau will cooperate with the highest technology group to prioritize industrial production issues, build Yulin Iron and Steel Plant, build Yushen Highway and Yanma Highway, produce Red Star tractors, and build power plants. Comrades,

The Japanese invaders are getting closer and closer, and we don't have much time left."

Chen Kang looked around the audience and said seriously: "Our Military Industry Bureau must complete the construction of industrial production as soon as possible, lay the foundation for military production, and finally produce weapons and ammunition to support the troops."

Yulin Iron and Steel Plant, two highways, Red Star Tractor, and power plant, the four are interconnected and dependent on each other. No one can survive without them.

Only by solving these four problems can the steel plant achieve stable production of steel. Only in this way can the Military Industry Bureau be qualified and confident to talk about manufacturing weapons and ammunition.

Do the basics first, and then engage in weapons production. This was the path finally decided after Zhuang Qianding explained it to the trio at the lunch reception.

The heads of various departments in the Military Industry Bureau nodded one after another, each clarifying their own tasks. For the highest technology group, Professor Zhuang, as the group leader, issued detailed tasks. Professor Zhuang is mainly responsible for machinery manufacturing and power plant projects, involving compressor rotors and 10MW steam turbines.

Manufacturing and processing of core components such as oxygen lances and 12-horsepower single-cylinder diesel engines, and training of workers.

Yu Hua has a very heavy task, responsible for steel metallurgy and tractors, including steel plant site selection, blast furnace ironmaking, 2T oxygen top-blown converter and Red Star tractor.

As for Lin Wan and Zhao Zhangcheng, Professor Zhuang handed over the rotary kiln cement and vertical earth kiln to them. They were mainly responsible for cement production and assisting the General Affairs Department in road construction.

Due to the lack of technical personnel, the top technical team owners have to wear multiple hats and be responsible for multiple projects.
