As November enters, the cold current from Siberia completely blows away the last hint of autumn in the clouds.
"Winter is here!"
Although the wind is not biting, the northwest wind blowing on my face is not very pleasant, like brushing my face with a shoe brush.
Fortunately, the courses for the first half of the semester are basically over. Zhou Yan comes to school every day. In addition to going to the playground to exercise, he only has to go to the dormitory to "check in" every day.
But as the temperature dropped, Zhou Yan's friends got up later and later. By the middle of the month, Zhou Yan even canceled his daily check-in.
Just when Zhou Yan was bored looking at the postgraduate entrance examination questions, Xu Chongsheng lured him to the capital with a phone call: the initial survey and design of the special steel plant, as well as the 900,000-kilowatt thermal power plant supporting the steel plant, were basically completed.
.
The design of the steel plant was completed by the Metallurgical Design Institute, while the thermal power plant was also completed by the Institute of Thermal Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the Ice Pot.
All Zhou Yan needs to do is act as a human stamp, sign for review, and then make a payment...
Of course, after the initial design is completed, the following things are more troublesome, including the procurement of equipment, the construction of the steel plant, and the design, manufacture and installation of the environmental purification equipment reserved for the design.
Originally, purchasing equipment was the most troublesome, such as vacuum consumable electric arc furnaces and vacuum induction smelting furnaces, which were basically not produced in China.
As for the production technology in Zhou Yan's hands, after he took it out, industry giants such as No. 1, No. 2, and Modu Metallurgical Machinery all came to visit.
In order to get orders and secretly learn technology, giants are looking for connections. Not only Xu Chongsheng, but also Zhou Yan's old butler, Old Alfred, has received "goodwill" from the East.
Zhou Yan still had to mix in the circle, so he could only divide the equipment of the special steel plant into several parts like a cake, package it and distribute it to several giants. For the sake of smelting technology, the giants appropriately
I gave Zhou Yan a "big discount".
As for equipment installation, a group of metallurgical giants all have their own installation teams, so Zhou Yan and Xu Chongsheng don't have to worry about it at all...
When it comes to purchasing and installing the supporting equipment for the three sets of 300,000-kilowatt units, Zhou Yan has a lot of options to choose from. Whether it is boilers, steam turbines, or generators, there are many companies in China that can handle it.
With unified procurement and centralized bidding, Zhou Yan and Xu Chongsheng don’t have to worry about it at all. They can just leave it to the general contractor’s design institute...
Zhou Yan asked Xu Chongsheng to supervise the bidding, and he went to the Institute of Thermal Engineering of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and found Sun Peng, the chief engineer in charge of the design of the special steel supporting thermal power plant project.
"Mr. Zhou, the bidding for the thermal power plant has begun. Do you have any questions?"
Zhou Yan took out a concept drawing from his briefcase and handed it to Sun Peng.
"Is this a solar thermal molten salt thermal power station?" Sun Peng is indeed a master in the industry. He just took a look and said the name of the project.
Zhou Yan’s concept map comes from some pilot projects in China five or six years ago.
Solar thermal molten salt thermal storage power station, as the name suggests, is a power station that relies on the thermal effect of sunlight to drive molten salt to generate electricity.
To put it more simply, this power station is a large solar cooker that uses a large number of reflective mirrors to collect heat and heat a molten salt heat absorption system fixed at a high place. After exchanging the heat to water vapor, it drives the steam turbine to generate power.
In order to ensure that the power station can operate around the clock, when the power station is running, a part of the molten salt heated to extremely high temperatures will be sent underground and stored. At night, the circulation pump and heat exchanger will be started to exchange the heat of these molten salts.
Feed water steam to drive steam turbines and generators to generate electricity.
In addition to photovoltaics, water conservancy and wind energy, solar thermal power stations are basically the last stand of thermal power generation: they can not only continue the traditional thermal power plant equipment system, but also ensure zero emissions...
Seeing Zhou Yan nodding, Dean Sun Pengsun smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Zhou Yan to sit down: "Mr. Zhou, do you want to come to our Thermal Engineering Institute to invest and jointly develop intellectual property rights, or simply entrust us to build a power plant?"
design……"
"After a while, I may have a rare earth license, so I want to build a rare earth refinery in Jiuyuan." Zhou Yan looked at the concept map on the table, "As for the energy source, of course it is
I hope it’s more environmentally friendly…”
"I understand, I will organize personnel as soon as possible to conduct project demonstration, but..." Sun Peng nodded, "The scale of the power plant..."
"150,000 kilowatts should be enough for a pilot project..." Zhou Yan thought for a while, "The technical preparations are completed, and after the project is approved, Qingyan will inject 100 million R&D funds..."
In the afternoon, I declined Sun Peng's dinner invitation and went home to prepare dinner.
Just as I was about to turn on the TV, an elusive system popped up.
[Release professional skills trial tasks
Task 1: Develop stainless steel foil with a thickness of 0.02 to 0.015 mm;
Mission reward, the titanium alloy family of the legacy of the Red Empire.]
Are you really good at playing?
If Zhou Yan hadn't been frequently watching videos in his previous life, he wouldn't have known that the system had dug a big hole for him.
Stainless steel with a thickness of 0.02 is commonly known as hand-tearable steel. It feels like tearing paper when torn. Its main uses are naturally flexible screens, ion polymer batteries and electromagnetic shielding layers.
If you want to roll stainless steel to 0.02 mm, the most basic requirement is that the metallographic phase of the steel ingot is very uniform. Otherwise, uneven thickness or cracking may easily occur during rolling.
Seeing this task, Zhou Yan was a little lucky that he had done more than a dozen steel refinings when he was "refining steel" in the virtual space. The steel ingots refined in this way undoubtedly met the requirements for hand-shredding steel.
Of course, rolling hand-shredded steel is a bit more troublesome, as it requires relatively high precision on the rolling machine.
Compared with hand-shredded steel, Yinwa steel, which requires relatively high metal composition, is relatively less difficult.
However, this does not mean that the price of Yinwa steel is as low as that of hand-shredded steel.
Compared with hand-shredded steel that can only be used in the electronics industry, the workplace of Invar steel is relatively high. LNG ships: Because Invar steel has a low thermal expansion coefficient, it can ensure that it does not deform at low temperatures.
This is something that many other metals cannot match...
Before Qin Ruoshu returned, classmate Zhou Yan, who was continuing the legacy of the Red Empire, immediately entered the virtual space again after receiving the mission.
In fact, whether it is the smelting of Yinwa steel or the rolling of hand-shredded steel, the technical difficulty is transparent. The most troublesome part is the need for constant testing.
In the virtual space, the most indispensable thing is time...
Zhou Yan spent twenty years compiling two sets of technical information: one is for rolling hand-shredded steel, from the early smelting to the complicated rolling process in the later stage; the smelting of Yinwa steel is relatively easy
, and in the rolling process, some technical information can be used in common with hand-shredded steel...
[Mission rewards are now distributed, "Titanium Alloy Kingdom of the Red Empire"]
The former Red Empire had an unusual obsession with certain things, such as titanium alloys.
Everyone knows that titanium alloy is a good thing, with light specific gravity and high strength. However, this thing is easy to oxidize, which also makes people have a headache.
The Red Empire, which loves titanium alloys, has built a factory filled with argon gas that is thousands of square meters high in order to weld titanium alloys.
Moreover, more than fifty years ago, the Red Empire had already played with titanium alloys and created titanium alloy submarines that were unique in the world, and there were more than one model.
However, now, only the lonely Alpha-class attack nuclear submarine remains...
