"This can only be coordinated by the Planning Institute, and all departments have understood." Chang Kaishen interjected, "Each enterprise uses electricity at staggered peak times."
"It's easy to say, some equipment can't be shut down just because it's said to be shut down..."
Someone below started muttering.
Chang Kaishen ignored it and Qian Liushi just pretended not to hear it. In fact, this is a chicken or egg problem. The electric power industry has a huge demand for electricity itself. Now they are short of both, so they can only fight hard.
Compress the current electricity supply and shift it to the production of raw materials.
Faraday thought to himself: The Planning Academy is indeed not a place for people. No wonder Wu De lost a lot of hair after being the dean for several years.
"... Regarding power transmission and distribution. We brought a batch of 11kv/400v transformers and several tons of transformer oil from the old time and space, but they are obviously far from enough for our upcoming needs in the future - it is also difficult to just maintain the existing scale for a long time
.So we need to make our own 10kv/400v transformers, and if possible, higher voltage transformers such as 35kv, 110kv. Can we find a substitute for transformer oil? How long does it take for us to develop and test the process?
What materials are needed to create these devices?”
"I can answer your question about transformer oil," said a veteran of the Ministry of Chemical Industry with a subtle smile. "Actually, this is not difficult. The raw material of transformer oil is naphthenic crude oil. Brunei's Siniyah crude oil meets the requirements.
, as long as the Planning Institute approves the implementation of this project..."
Everyone let out a burst of suppressed laughter. Industry is like this. It relies heavily on technological reserves and many basic industries. Even if there are no technical problems in the industrial chain from beginning to end, the industrial chain must be established first to produce a product.
In the context of international large-scale production and trade in the old time and space, market procurement can be relied upon to solve the needs of each link. But in a place as completely poor as Lingao, every industrial chain must be built by the Senate itself. Click on that first
The points of the technology tree have always been the focus of debate among the elders.
The petroleum industry has always been an industrial sector that the Planning Institute has placed quite behind. For now, it does not require much crude oil. A small amount of oil for motor vehicles and ships, and the by-products extracted from coal tar can roughly meet the demand.
If you are not particular about it, you can just switch to a gas machine.
Qian Liushi waited for his laughter to stop and continued without comment: "Based on the information currently provided to us by the industrial port: we can expand our power generation capacity mainly in thermal power, and hydropower involves a lot of pre-technical technology.
The requirements are also higher. In terms of thermal power, is it necessary to build a steam turbine? Is it more suitable for us to directly use a steam engine to drive a generator? How do we control the power generation process? Should the manufacturing of generating units be standardized as much as possible or should it match specific needs as much as possible?...
"
The questions he raised were many and complex, including one, two, three, and four... involving all aspects of power generation, transmission and distribution. In order to prevent the participants from not being able to remember so many topics, they also specially mimeographed the meeting discussion minutes.
One serving.
"...These are all I can think of at the moment. We are only discussing technical issues here. If other issues need to be discussed, please raise them at the Senate meeting."
Qian Liushi's last words meant that we should not mention the future power company system for the time being. Because everyone knows that this will be an extremely huge giant in the future. The power bureau. Who doesn't want to keep this pet?
It can even fight against the country.
We have been clamoring for the New Electricity Law in the Old Time and Space for more than ten years, but we dare not put the hammer down. If you dare, I will raise the price and cut off the electricity. Therefore, although the Executive Committee has not publicly discussed this, it basically has a tacit understanding of it.
We have "weakened" power companies and allowed the spread of rhetoric such as "steam engines dominate the world" and "gas engines are omnipotent".
Judging from the situation, neither the Executive Committee nor the Planning Institute wanted such a monster to appear in their field of vision. Therefore, Qian Liushi had to make a gesture to fully show that he had "no ambition" in the power company.
At the same time, he does not and does not want the electric power company in the new time and space to turn into the original family business passed down from father to son, descendant to grandson.
However, Qian Liushi soon discovered that he had overestimated everyone's technical capabilities. The questions he raised were not as lively as everyone came forward to offer suggestions and suggestions - most people knew nothing about electrical equipment, let alone manufacturing experience.
Only a few people have proposed some solutions: for example, asphalt can be used as the insulation material of cables - this is an insulating material commonly used in early cables. Asphalt can withstand temperatures of 105C, is easy to cover and form, and has certain anti-corrosion and waterproof functions.
It is still a commonly used insulation material until the 21st century.
Apart from this, no useful technical solutions were proposed. The bathroom meeting quickly fell into endless nonsense. The reason was that someone suggested that since it is difficult to manufacture power transmission and distribution equipment, it is better to set up self-contained power stations widely and directly
Utilize direct current. After being countered by Faraday's firm insistence that alternating current is the way to go, the veteran listed the support of direct current by the famous Edison and Kelvin and the application of direct current in China after 2000 AD. Later, he was righteously criticized by a certain gossip veteran.
It rhetorically points out that Edison used General Electric's financial position and personal reputation to slander and suppress the invention of alternating current by his poor clerk Truss, but in the end alternating current broke through the suppression and threats of shameless capitalists and became the king of power transmission.
Then gossip historians immediately pointed out that the success of alternating current was actually achieved by Tesla relying on the financial resources of Westinghouse’s boss. General Electric at that time was not a monopoly omnipotent.
When Tesla was proposed, Tesla's great earth-atmosphere ionosphere resonance transmission was also remembered, and immediately everyone had a vigorous discussion on its principle and possibility of implementation.
The meeting inevitably descended into lengthy theoretical debates and ensuing personal attacks.
Later, the conference room was filled with excitement:
"Burn the heretics of DC!"
"In the sky and on the earth, I am the only one transmitting the atmosphere!"
"Hang the conservative elements of the exchange! Confiscate the maids!!"
"Holy shit, last time you looked at my sister Feng, what the hell did you do for two minutes when I left the office! Why is my sister Feng's face so red!"
"It's only three seconds. It takes several rounds in two minutes."
"Hahahahaha..."
Seeing the smoky atmosphere in the meeting place, Chang Kaishen excused himself to go out for a smoke and never returned. Qian Liushi, as the temporary host of the meeting, sat there with his face turning red and white. However, it was almost time to eat, and he was waiting for the waitress in the office.
When the bell was ringing and a cart of work lunches was pushed in, this important meeting, which was recorded as a success in the history books, came to an end.
During lunch, Faraday took a paper lunch box and found Qian Liushi who was engrossed in eating in a corner. He sat opposite him and said, "Qian Fushuai, why the hell are we doing this now? We must be honest and punished."
What a sycophant."
"Okay, how did I know that this crooked building is like this? We can't let these grandsons mess around this afternoon."
"The questions you asked are too vague. It's true that the electric power industry is a complex of the mechanical industry and the chemical industry. The key is that these people have never worked in this industry - you can't treat these people as just like
We have a relatively clear understanding of the entire electric power industry - they don't even know the basic principles of the air switch with more oil and less oil, so if you expect them to come up with a plan, isn't it a fool's errand?"
"Yes, I think I made a metaphysical mistake."
"We can't continue like this this afternoon. Let's do this. I think the most important thing for everyone now is that no one has a clear understanding of the basic information. We need to popularize the science first."
"In the electric power industry, even slightly higher-level jobs in the old time and space required at least four-year secondary vocational school graduates. To be a strong electrician, you also had to attend a technical school..."
"Let's popularize science first and let them have some basic concepts." Faraday said, "otherwise this meeting will not be able to continue."
After half an hour of meal time, the meeting was reconvened. When everyone arrived, Qian Liushi cleared his throat, stood up and said: "Comrades and brothers, after a heated discussion this morning, well, although no consensus was reached,
But we all had a frank exchange of opinions. Now, I hope we won’t get into trouble this afternoon.”
Chang Kaishen finally came back from "smoking". He stood up and said sincerely with a sincere expression: "You can't do the power generation and delivery; we can't do the equipment. I leave the manufacturing of this power equipment to everyone!"
"That's right, gentlemen, let's not talk about DC and intra-ionospheric power transmission." Qian Liushi said, "If DC was possible, the British, Germans, and Soviets would have already done it. In terms of nuclear fusion power generation,
Before we get it done, let’s not talk about ionospheric power transmission. Let’s let Faraday talk to you about the power industry first, and after that we will analyze the specific issues in detail.”
Faraday held up a stack of glass pieces that he had driven out a few days ago - he had long expected such a drama, Qian Liushi had thought too well of everyone.
He walked to the projector and placed a piece on it:
"Everyone knows that the second industrial revolution was the electrical revolution, but an important difference between the electrical revolution and the steam revolution is that the development of the steam engine was based on continuous improvements in details and processes. Its basic theory is relatively simple, and at the same time
There were no major theoretical changes. From the beginning to the one hundred years after World War II, the electrical revolution developed together with practice and theory. In 1820, Oersted discovered the phenomenon of current magnetism, that is, current will produce a magnetic field. 1831
The law of electromagnetic induction was discovered by my predecessor Michael Faraday in 2001, which means that cutting a magnetic induction line will produce an electric current." (To be continued...)
