Descartes, mathematician, scientist, and philosopher who died in 1650.
Mathematician Cavalieri who died in 1647, etc.
I won’t mention here Galileo, Kepler, who just died a few years ago, Newton, Leibniz, who were just born, etc.
In short, although the 17th century was still shrouded in the ignorant rule of the Holy See, the Renaissance that lasted for more than two hundred years allowed Western science and technology to take off.
In short, no technical information or experimental prototype should be allowed to fall into the hands of outsiders. This is a resolution unanimously passed by the Senate. No matter who discovers it, even a senator, it will be a crime of treason.
Of course, compared to naturalized citizens, if a senator commits this crime, he will not be sentenced to death, but at least he will be imprisoned to death, and even his descendants will be affected in the Senate.
Since the No. 1 generator prototype is the most common fuel generator with a simple principle, the fuel engine and everything else were directly disassembled from the backup generator, mainly to test the power generation effect of the generator.
The experiment can be said to be relatively successful.
The generator stably outputs 50 Hz alternating current.
This proves that there is no problem with the stator, rotor, etc. made by Fang Xiaoyue.
Then the next step is to expand the generator in all directions, produce several experimental models, and conduct experiments on hydroelectric power generation and coal power generation.
Of course, it is basically impossible to generate hydroelectric power at this time.
Since there were large generators to support electricity in the past, coupled with the needs of industrial development such as weapons, hydropower generation was not on the agenda for the first time. So far, Xinghai Kingdom has not built a dam.
Of course, one of the reasons is that there is no larger river where the pier crosses.
If you want to build a dam or hydropower station, Changjiang River is a good place. Due to the narrow terrain of Changjiang River and the relatively high drop, after the dam is built, the power generation capacity of the hydropower station is still considerable.
The only problem is that the Xinghai Kingdom currently has insufficient construction machinery, insufficient fuel storage, and insufficient labor. You can imagine the difficulty in building a dam on the Changjiang River.
The most important thing is that Changjiang has not yet been taken over by the Xinghai Kingdom. If you want to carry out such a large project, there is no guarantee of safety.
Therefore, in the subsequent research process, Fang Xiaoyue focused on coal power.
After all, sufficient supply of coal can be guaranteed.
Besides, once a large-scale coal generator is developed and with this foundation, it will be much easier to study large-scale hydroelectric generators in the future. After all, the technological gap between the two is actually not that big.
With the joint efforts of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Construction, two months later, a thermal power plant with an output of 5MW, or 5000KW, was built in the chemical industry zone.
There are two reasons why this thermal power plant was built in the chemical industry zone.
One is to prevent excessive pollution of Xinghai City, and the other is to use energy more rationally.
For example, part of the water vapor that has done work can be taken away to heat chemical equipment. In this case, chemical equipment does not need to set up separate heating equipment.
In this way, the establishment of thermal power plants alone can save a large amount of energy in the expanding chemical industry zone and make it more environmentally friendly.
Of course, in future generations, the 5MW thermal power plant will be a little brother. It can only be regarded as the smallest thermal power plant, and it is also the kind of obsolete power plant that is not allowed to be built.
But in 1647, such a thermal power plant was undoubtedly a symbol of the highest technology of this era.
At the same time, after its establishment, Xinghai Kingdom will also save a lot of fuel, and the power supply will be more sufficient, allowing it to build more factories.
Therefore, when the thermal power plant began its first trial operation, Chief Administrative Officer Zheng Xiangdong, Chief Elder Qian Lihong and other senior officials from the Xinghai Kingdom all arrived.
Due to the arrival of these high-level officials, the number of troops surrounding the entire chemical industry zone increased by two battalions.
Although it is not as exaggerated as one post at every five steps or one sentry at ten steps, the officers at all levels became nervous and checked their posts every half hour and personally led patrols to prevent any accidents.
No way, at this time, not only the senior executives were present, but also the technical backbone of the Ministry of Industry.
It can be said that if an accident occurs here and all these people are wiped out, then the newly established Xinghai Kingdom will be almost completely destroyed.
"This is simply an industrial miracle."
Chief Executive Zheng Xiangdong had a cheerful smile on his face, which had many wrinkles due to his busy government affairs.
"This is indeed an industrial miracle. No one can do it better than us."
Sister Qian Lihong, the chief elder, is in high spirits and speaks with strong confidence.
It seemed that the experience of chairing a meeting in the Senate had made her look much younger.
The other elders who came here for the first time were also amazed.
Indeed, due to the use of cement, steel bars and even paint, the thermal power plant in front of us does not look much different from that of later generations.
The tall fence, various hard work slogans painted on the fence, the neat factory buildings inside the fence, the tall chimneys, the big red banner outside the power generation workshop, etc., all show the style of future generations to this era.
After a brief ribbon-cutting ceremony, a naturalized operator who had undergone arduous training closed the working gate with slightly trembling arms.
Some people talked about getting an electric button before, which would make it look more advanced and stylish.
However, considering the limitations of current industrial technology and various possible accidents, the technicians responsible for this aspect ultimately adopted an old-fashioned gate that is simpler and less prone to problems.
As the gate closed, a conveyor belt started running. The pulverized coal on the conveyor belt was continuously thrown into the combustion chamber, turning into a blazing flame, evaporating the water in the huge boiler into high-temperature water vapor, and the high-temperature water vapor continued to drive the generator.
The rotor converts kinetic energy into electrical energy.
Seeing the street lights and other equipment used for testing come on, Military Affairs Commissioner Sun Xuebin, who was standing next to Fang Xiaoyue, couldn't help but ask: "How much coal does this thermal generator burn per day?"
"We are burning clean coal shipped from Cochin. It takes about 380 grams to generate one kilowatt hour of electricity. 1MW is 1000KW, 5MW is 5000KW. It takes about 1.9 tons of coal to generate electricity for one hour and 45.6 tons for one day. Of course, if we use local production in the future
Coal, lignite, and peat. If you don’t want the power generation to drop, then burn 2.5 times the amount of coal, lignite, and peat.”
Hearing Fang Xiaoyue say this, Sun Xuebin breathed a sigh of relief.
