255 Electricity
The construction of two micro power stations is a key project in the second half of this year.
Due to the relatively wide riverbed of Xiliu River and Blue Green River, the amount of work required for the flood dam is actually very large, because of the large gap between production capacity and demand, which often leads to cement and bricks in short supply at any time.
In addition, due to labor constraints, the work could not be spread out at both ends, so the hydropower project was stopped and stopped until early December.
However, it is precisely because of this that it seems that everyone's physical strength is gradually recovering.
The chief commander of the dam construction site is Kang Wang, two professionals, although they are engineering commanders, but like Hou Xianglin, the two of them also have to work at the Hexi Power Station site, and they also have to do technical guidance and lead a demonstration operation, the work is the same work as everyone, but obviously more busy than everyone.
But because King Kang and Wang still have shifts to take care of the power distribution room of the Red House and Yimi Power Station, it can be regarded as a disguised rest, and the two of them are actually the least tired people in this group.
However, there are pros and cons in the world, and the two of them are often frightened by all kinds of frightens when they are on duty, especially at the Yimi Hydropower Station, because snakes and insects often get into the simple power distribution room, so the two are always scared before entering the room, and often have to use this stick to tinker before they dare to enter.
That's fine, in fact, snakes are also afraid of people, otherwise there would be no such thing as scaring snakes.
However, there are also animals that are not afraid of people, such as crocodiles, and the Imi River basin is still basically primitive, and there are many crocodiles.
One of the most frightening things was that once when Wang Zhanwu left the power distribution room to get off work, he stepped on the tail of a crocodile when he opened the door and went out, and the crocodile turned around with a mouth, but fortunately Wang Zhanwu reacted quickly and quickly hid in the door of the power distribution room, so people and crocodiles faced each other through a bamboo door.
In the end, Wang Zhanwu used the walkie-talkie to recruit the sailing students who were practicing hard in the nearby brick and tile factory to "catch the milk dragon claw hand", and soon, a group of young people rushed over, yes, it was Xingchong, because they were busy and tired recently, and they did not reclaim the wasteland, so everyone had not eaten crocodile meat for a long time......
In short, during this period, everyone is taking on their share of manual labor, regardless of age.
Of course, this refers to all men, including relatively older ones like Mr. Zhao and Boss Luo, who often also play a role as basic labor.
The difference is that a few people like Mr. Zhao's boss Luo do not participate in sailing training, so they have two more days of chores than others, which is relatively easy, but it is still very tiring to work on the construction site, in the field and in the farm for more than half a year, and the body of Boss Luo in his thirties can barely withstand it, but Mr. Zhao and Lao Ba are both in their forties, and in the end, the two of them are finally the first to get tired.
When everyone found that the two people who suddenly fainted to the ground during lunch dinner, they immediately carried the two people on a nearby train and sent them back to the Red Mansion.
After such a thing, everyone was really frightened, and the two old people were tired like this, and everyone also felt a little guilty, and finally the two were arranged to go to the kitchen to help Sun Lao cook, and even the farm Lao Zhu didn't let them do it.
But one way or another, there is still no one to be idle.
By the middle of December 1656, after working hard for more than half a year, we had made good progress in all respects.
First of all, another flood dam with a width of 110 meters and a height of 6.6 meters was completed in the lower reaches of the Xiliu River.
Due to the special topography of this area, after the dam was completed, a small artificial lake with a length of 800 meters and an average width of 300 meters was formed near the mouth of the Xiliu River.
According to Cao Limei's hydrological calculations, the water stored in the dry season alone is enough to supply the downstream sugar and glass factories for industrial production, so the power supply during the wet season is even larger. To this end, Kangda and Wang Zhanwu devised an innovative scheme of twin diversion canals, in which two 65-watt river vortex generating units at the north and south ends of the dam can take turns to generate electricity during the dry season, and in the rainy season, the two turbines can generate electricity at the same time.
Of course, no matter how large the power supply is, it does not include the Lianjiao Chemical and Iron and Steel Consortium in the follow-up plan, and if these projects are to be counted, the Moon River Hydropower Station must be added.
Today, two micro vortex generators have been installed, and the power generation will be ready to begin when the power lines are completed.
Soon after, an 80-meter-long, five-meter-high flood dam near the mouth of the river was also built, downstream of the Blue-Green Creek on the east side of the Red Wharf, and only one 50-kilowatt vortex generator was installed on the diversion canal due to the water constraints of the entire basin. Although the Blue Green Creek Dam is small and produces slightly less electricity than the original Imi hydropower plant, the project is more important in the minds of the people.
Because this will be the location of Wang Xue's shipyard, and the hydropower station is also dedicated to supplying power to the shipyard and the loading and unloading machinery of the Red Wharf, all the supporting facilities of the power station have also been installed as a priority, including a cement road and transmission line to the Red Wharf.
So far, with the addition of the Manshui Dam Micro Power Station on the Imi River, a total of four generating units have been installed, with a total installed capacity of 230 kWh.
Obviously, decisive results have been achieved in the construction of electric power, and for this reason, Kangda and Wang Zhanwu announced at a dinner discussion on 20 December that on the whole, with these Hexi power stations, including the power provided by the brick and tile factories, the cement factory, and the sugar and glass factories that are about to be built with their own fuel engines, there is no big gap in energy at present.
Of course, this is only in the initial stage of only brick and tile factories, cement factories, sugar factories and glass factories, with the subsequent increasing industrial construction projects, these micro power stations are not enough, especially if the joint chemical and steel bases are built, without the power support of the Moon River hydropower station, it is obviously not possible.
As a result, many industrial professionals, including Cao Limei, suggested that these miniature river generator sets that have been installed in place are only a small part of the dozens of river vortex generators in the cave, and that the island has ten rivers and its development conditions are similar to those of Xiliu River and Bluegreen River.
They believe that if we put in some more labor, build a few more flood dams on these rivers, and even carry out cascade development, and one day put all the micro-power generation equipment in the caves into use, we will basically be able to meet the energy problems needed for industrial development in the future.
Coupled with the Moon River Hydropower Station and the planned port and pit mouth thermal power station construction projects, then for a long time to come, the bottleneck problem of electric energy, which restricts our development, will be fundamentally solved.
Of course, the prerequisite is that a lot of labor is put in.
In the face of everyone's enthusiasm and confidence in the construction of micro river and river power stations, Kang and Wang believe that under the existing labor conditions, the efficiency of developing river and river water elevators is not high. Kang and Wang explained that although we have experience in building flood dams, the power generation is too limited.
How many micro run-of-the-river generating units can be generated by a Moon River power station? But we spent no less man-hours than the Moon River Hydropower Station.
Therefore, Kang and Wang strongly suggested on the spot that the Moon River Hydropower Station should start construction in the first half of next year at the latest---- the reason is that it is better to spend labor to build the Hexi Micro Power Station, and it is better to complete the work and directly launch the Moon River Hydropower Station, after all, the combined power generation of so many micro runoff hydropower stations is only a small head of the Moon River Hydropower Station.
However, everyone said that about this big project, because of the long construction period and the stakes are very high, it is still brewing to discuss and discuss, so the start time of this major project has been delayed until the end of December, and everyone has not yet made a final decision.
