"Shating Power Plant Bidding Conforms to the Work Style of Seeking Truth from Facts"

……

Almost overnight, more than a dozen media outlets across the country published commentators' articles in prominent positions, using the failure of the 600,000-kilowatt unit of the Hezhou Power Plant to talk about how unreliable domestic equipment is and how imported equipment is necessary. On the basis of fully affirming the national policy of self-reliance, these articles emphasize the national conditions and the historical stage, and then whitewash the bidding incident of the Shating Power Plant.

Some newspapers are ambiguous because they can't guess what their superiors mean, and they throw out a few question marks from time to time, as if they have a conclusion, but in fact they don't say anything. Some newspapers were even more bold, directly using titles such as "a state-level backbone motor factory" and "a state-level equipment research authority", almost pointing to the nose of Longshan Electric Machinery Factory and Equipment Industry Company.

“…… The accident of the 600,000-kilowatt unit of the Hezhou Power Plant shows that there is still a big gap between China's industrial level and the advanced level of foreign countries, and even if foreign technology is introduced, there is still a situation of indigestion, and it takes a long time to be able to absorb all of them for our use. Under the circumstance that the technology is not up to the mark, some departments violate the laws of the economy, engage in political leadership, and blindly put forward excessively high demands for the localization rate, which ultimately leads to substandard products entering the national economic sector, causing huge economic losses to the state.

In contrast, some grass-roots departments are able to proceed from reality, and would rather offend the high-ranking ministers than choose products of more reliable quality, which is not harming the national interests, on the contrary, it is precisely to safeguard the national interests.

…… We can't help but ask, if these grassroots departments are forced to choose immature domestic equipment, who will be responsible for the same quality accident as the Hezhou power plant?"

Equipment Industry Company, in Luo Xiangfei's office, Feng Xiaochen put down the newspaper in his hand and said to Luo Xiangfei with a smile: "Hehe, Mr. Luo, have you heard, people have to be unforgiving." ”

"You're pushing people too hard. Luo Xiangfei said with a smile.

Feng Xiaochen said: "It seems that our previous strength was still not enough, we originally wanted to save face for them, but now we have found out that these people are purely remembering to eat and not remembering, and they dare to be so arrogant just when they hear a little rumor, and they are not afraid of being slapped in the face when they turn around?"

Luo Xiangfei said: "What, do you have the certainty of slapping your face in the past?"

Feng Xiaochen said: "It's hard to say now. Quan Jiancai and they are working day and night to make calculations to see if there is a problem with our manufacturing or the original design of Xiyi Company. I think the latter is more likely. ”

"There is a problem with the design of Xiyi Company, how is this possible?" Luo Xiangfei was a little skeptical.

"Why is it impossible?" Feng Xiaochen asked with a smile, "Mr. Luo, have you forgotten about the Xianhu Steel Factory?"

Luo Xiangfei smiled dumbly. To be honest, before the Xiando Steel Works, he, like many Chinese people, would never believe that there was a problem with the quality of foreign products, let alone that these well-known world-class companies still deliberately falsified. However, the Xianhu Steel Institute later transferred several low-temperature steel smelting processes to Jiangcheng Iron and Steel Plant, confirming Feng Xiaochen's words, Luo Xiangfei had no doubts, but sighed.

This time, Feng Xiaochen actually said that the matter of the steam turbine unit may have originated from the calculation error of Xiyi Company, and Luo Xiangfei didn't know whether to believe it or doubt it. With his understanding of Feng Xiaochen, he knew that this subordinate would not talk casually, since he said that there was such a possibility, then this possibility might be very big.

"Quan Jiancai, how long will it take them to come to a conclusion?" Luo Xiangfei asked.

Feng Xiaochen said: "I'm afraid it will take half a month." The force relationship of the steam turbine is very complex and the calculation is very large. The technical strength of the Yongsan Electric Plant is insufficient, and the progress is not very fast. A few people led by Quan Jiancai fought very hard. Director Yang of the Ministry of Water and Electricity did not trust their conjecture, and had been agitating for the cylinder to be opened for inspection, and Director Duan wanted to buy time, and if they could get a tangible conclusion, they could call the people of Xiyi Company to come over. At that time, even if the cylinder is to be opened, the loss will be borne by Xiyi Company. ”

Luo Xiangfei thought for a while and said: "Xiao Feng, this matter is very important, I am afraid that the technical strength of Longshan Motor Factory alone is not enough, I think we can send the technical personnel of Pujiang Motor Factory and Southwest Motor Factory over, and it is best to find some experts from Huaqing University and other universities to help and engage in a general battle." Even if it turns out that it is not Xiyi's problem, we can learn from this battle. ”

"Okay, I'll contact these units right away. Feng Xiaochen replied briskly.

After talking about the technical matters, Luo Xiangfei raised the question of the newspaper again and asked: "Xiao Feng, what do you think about these reports in the newspaper? Do you want me to contact the propaganda department and ask them to control the propaganda caliber?"

Feng Xiaochen shook his head again and again, and said: "Don't be like this, Mr. Luo, my idea is just the opposite, I should let the propaganda department open up to discuss this matter, well, it's called 'Localization Strategy Discussion', no matter what unit has any opinions, you can say it." Dingnan can use the matter of the Hezhou Power Plant as evidence, and we can also use the matter of the bidding of the Shating Power Plant to speak. ”

"Are you going to fish?" Luo Xiangfei said, "You are doing this on the basis that Quan Jiancai and they can come up with evidence of Xiyi Company's mistakes, if it is finally proved that there is no problem with Xiyi Company, it is Longshan Electric Machinery Factory that has made a mistake, this matter is difficult to say." You have made public opinion so big, how will it end up then?"

Feng Xiaochen said seriously: "Mr. Luo, my idea is this, no matter whether the problem is in Longdian or Xiyi, the goal of localization of major equipment will not change." If it can be proved to be Xiyi's problem, of course, it is the best, and it can give a wake-up call to many people who are superstitious about foreign technology. Even if the problem lies with Longdian, this incident cannot be a reason for the Shating Power Plant to deliberately reject domestic equipment. It is precisely because we still have such and such defects that we need to unswervingly support domestic equipment and give domestic equipment more opportunities. If you completely reject domestic equipment because of a failure, isn't this a waste of food because of choking?"

There is some truth to that. Luo Xiangfei nodded, and then said: "If this is the case, then I will talk to the comrades in the propaganda department, and ask them to find a few high-level commentators to participate in this big discussion." Let's turn bad things into good things, and use this incident to promote the concept of independent innovation. ”

Feng Xiaochen didn't tell Luo Xiangfei the truth, in fact, after working with Quan Jiancai at Hezhou Power Plant for two days, he was already seventy or eighty percent sure that the problem was on the side of Xiyi Company. The 600,000 kilowatt unit of Hezhou Power Plant is not completely based on the mature design of Xiyi Company, but is designed on the basis of its original model. The traditional unit of Xiyi Company is 60 Hz, 3600 revolutions per minute, while the Chinese standard is 50 Hz, 3000 revolutions per minute.

The problem lies precisely in this computational model. The calculation method of Xiyi is based on the traditional one-dimensional thermal calculation, and there are some shortcomings, for example, the parameter at the middle diameter of the steam turbine blade is used to replace the average parameter of the blade in the model, ignoring the difference of different position parameters of the blade. In this era, binary and ternary calculation methods have appeared, and the calculation results are more accurate. It can be said that the technology of Xiyi Company is actually a little backward.

There are several college students who graduated from the previous few years in the Yongsan Electric Factory, and the knowledge system is very new, and they are able to use new methods to carry out theoretical calculations. Quan Jiancai believes that there may be problems with Xiyi's design, which is also the result of calculations based on these new methods, but it is not yet certain. After all, everyone has some oceanophobia, and it doesn't matter if they find their mistakes, but it always feels a little unreliable to find out the mistakes of foreigners. Because of this, Quan Jian requires his subordinates to perform repeated calculations to ensure that the results of the calculations are foolproof.

Feng Xiaochen does not have such a psychological burden, and his knowledge system has even exceeded the limitations of the current era, and he can see more things. He doesn't know much about technical concepts such as blade streamline curvature and slope, but he can feel that there is a problem with Xiyi's calculation method from the comparison of several calculation models.

Under the skillful promotion of well-intentioned people, the criticism of the steam turbine failure of the Hezhou power plant quietly evolved into a big discussion on the strategy of equipment localization. The so-called stage theory and immature theory concocted by someone in Dingnan Province have been strongly questioned in this big discussion. Many people of insight have written articles one after another, pointing out that even if there are still some deficiencies in China's technology, the localization strategy must not be shaken. Only by constantly discovering and solving problems can China have its own localized equipment system, and if we retreat when we encounter difficulties, then how can we master advanced technology?

Equipment industry companies also participated in this discussion in their own name, they did not talk about those big truths, but put forward all kinds of facts, showing the achievements of digesting and absorbing the imported technology in the past ten years, through a large number of data comparison, people really feel the progress of China's equipment industry, showing that one or two setbacks can not hinder the process of China's equipment localization.

The direction of public opinion is developing more and more in a direction that Dingnan Province does not want to see and cannot control.
