Chapter 975: Power surge, thermal power generation
It’s about a month before the Spring Festival.
Many people have already begun to prepare for the New Year.
Most farmers no longer work.
This is a time for them to relax.
And these days, Chang'an City is also experiencing heavy snowfall.
There is a vast expanse of white everywhere.
Above the tenement building.
Li Yun came to find Li Min with a solemn expression.
He stood in front of Li Min.
Then he said:
"Brother Six, there is something very important now!"
At this time, Li Min was preparing for the Spring Festival Gala.
Although there is still a long time to go, you need to prepare for this in advance.
Before the party begins, there are still many things that need to be sorted out.
Li Yun came suddenly.
This surprised him a little. It was almost the New Year, what else could he not let go of?
"What's important?"
He replied nonchalantly.
I am still sorting things in my hands.
"Regarding the issue of electricity. Starting from the day before yesterday, the electricity consumption in the entire Chang'an City has become extremely tight. The power switch must be turned on more than three times a day. This has caused everyone's dissatisfaction!"
Li Min put down the information in his hand.
"What? Why didn't I feel it?"
Regarding this news, Li Min was a little puzzled.
At the same time, I don’t have any special feelings.
If I had sensed it in advance, I might have known about it and come up with countermeasures.
"Brother Six, that's because the electricity supply here is given priority. Even if others turn off the power, all production in our group building will continue as usual."
It turns out that the electricity consumption of the entire Chang'an City is only incidental, and the most important Shengtang Group will not have any impact.
Therefore, those who suffered power outages complained a lot.
Li Yun said again.
"We promised at that time that we would not cut off the power. Now we have repeatedly cut off the power, which has caused people's greatest dissatisfaction! These people come to my place every day and make noise, asking us to give a reasonable solution.
Plan. Otherwise, the trouble will continue!
They also said that if they don't handle the matter properly, they will sue us and ask us to compensate for their losses! I was never free before, so I didn't tell you about it, but it's been too serious recently, so I'm here."
"Can you tell me what the specific cause is? If there are some devices that don't need power, can we cut them off?"
Li Min put down what he was doing.
Said so.
"This seems difficult. Because of the coming of winter, coupled with the recent large-scale shipment of air conditioners. The heating function of air conditioners consumes a lot of power. Also, because of the large number of street lights recently installed, these street lights will increase in number once they are turned on at night.
This has affected the intensity of electricity consumption. It’s more than that. In addition, our hot spring resort center is expanding production, and I have pulled a line there to supply electricity.
By the way, there is another point. That is because the reservoir is approaching winter and there is less rainfall. In the next few months, the reservoir may freeze.
Once the reservoir freezes, there will be less flowing water.
This has brought great disadvantages to our power generation.
That said, there are quite a few problems.
So the current solution is to increase the power supply, otherwise we have to eliminate some electrical appliances and we will buy them back.
Otherwise, if we continue like this, it will not be good for us or Chang'an as a whole."
Li Yun said this.
This was the best solution he could come up with.
Everything depends on what Li Min does.
"Power outage? It is impossible to cut off the power, and it is even more impossible to reduce production capacity. Now is a critical period for research. There is also a lot of research in the hot spring resort. If the power is cut off again or production is reduced, the research process will be slowed down.
! And the development of our Shengtang Group is bound to become slower."
This is not allowed by Li Min, so the only way to go is to increase the power supply.
Li Min suddenly thought of something.
"By the way, how is the thermal generator I asked you to make last time?"
"That one? It was completed a month ago. It just hasn't been used. Do you want to enable it?"
"Yes, some time ago, Zhu Shan came back and reported that a large coal mine was discovered near Chang'an. I have already asked him to go through the formalities and hire more people to dig there. And I want to
People are building another power plant next to the reservoir."
What he is talking about is thermal power plants.
It is driven by water vapor driven by coal combustion to complete power generation.
In this way, the power generation crisis is solved, and even if the river freezes in winter, there is no need to worry!
"You understand what I said."
Li Min's general Li Yun said without saying anything.
"Yes! Brother Six! I understand. In this way, the electricity shortage can indeed be solved. But the cost will be higher. After all, it requires artificial reconstruction of a power plant and a large amount of capital investment. It doesn't stop there.
, there are also some professional equipment and production. I’m afraid it won’t be completed in a short time!”
"Now that Shengtang Group has experienced so many sudden increases in production, it has to be completed even if it works overtime!"
"Then I understand. I'll let someone do it!"
"As for the coal matter, I will ask Zhu Shan to find you later."
"Yes! Sixth Brother!"
Li Yun then left the Tanglou to deal with the matters assigned by Li Min.
When Li Yun left, Li Min never thought of this.
Unexpectedly, in less than a year, the power of a reservoir was completely insufficient for the use of Chang'an City.
In the future, investment will still be made in televisions, and more electrical appliances will appear.
It is really just a Chang'an power plant, which is far from enough.
It seems that a large number of power plants will be added.
He must set his sights on a larger reservoir.
In this way, larger power plants can be built.
In fact, the entire Chang'an and the entire Yangtze River basin is feasible.
It depends on his future plans.
With the increase in power plants, I feel that the Shengtang Group's tentacles are extending to all parts of Chang'an.
From now on, wherever there is electricity, the Shengtang Group will be there, and there will be ways for them to make money.
When the time comes, you will really be able to reach a country with incredible wealth.
This country is the Tang Dynasty!
"Time flies so fast. In a few months, the Japanese country will be destroyed by us. By then, who will be stationed there?"
Li Min murmured.
Suddenly Li Yun came back with some news.
About Li Yun’s sudden return.
This made Li Min feel a little puzzled.
"Why are you back again? Is there anything else you haven't said?"
he asked strangely.
Li Yun's expression seemed very excited.
"Yes, Brother Six, I have something else to say."
"What's the matter?"
"Something about the movie projector."
After the projector was produced, Li Min asked them to redesign it some time ago and integrate vinyl records into it.
It was Li Min who gave them some directions for improvement.
Judging from the situation, that thing must be built.
But Li Min waited for a long time, but the projector was not delivered.
Some time ago, Li Min also asked about movies.
But Li Yun just said that the matter was still being processed.
