Chapter 184 Hydroelectric Power Huang Zhi surrendered

When Huang Taiji heard the news of Azig's defeat, he was so shocked that he almost didn't come up in one breath. He couldn't believe that the first warrior of Manchuria they sent, with more than 100,000 Manchurian and Mongolian troops, or tens of thousands of Chahars, could be defeated by tens of thousands of Han and Tumuts? More than 70,000 soldiers were lost, which was really unacceptable.

Military Fan Wencheng said: "King Khan! Through this defeat of Azig, we should get to know the Yaogang people well. Last time, Abatai was defeated, and we thought that there was a reason for his carelessness, but this time we can't completely say that it was careless. I think the firearms advantage of the kiln people is far stronger than we think, and we also have to study their tactics. Otherwise, we will suffer if we meet them again. However, the defeat of Azig this time also alerted us, otherwise, if we rashly launched an attack on the Ming Dynasty and encountered such an opponent, we would lose more than just these 70,000 people. ”

Huang Taiji breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I have fought too many battles, and I don't care too much about the loss of some soldiers and horses, what I care about is that our strategy of threatening the Ming Dynasty from the northwest has failed." When we marched into the Ming Dynasty, I don't know when we will wait. ”

"King Khan! If we attack the Ming Dynasty and encounter the Yaogang people, and we are not prepared, there will be even greater losses. Fan Wencheng said: "According to intelligence, Wu Sangui of Shanhaiguan has obtained more than 1,000 muskets from the kiln gangs. We also need to make some preparations for firearms. ”

"Is there any news about the person you sent to the kiln?" Huang Taiji asked.

"There's news, but he can't get in touch with the core of the kiln people. He's just a petty official. ”

"Alas! I don't know if I still have a chance to enter the Ming Dynasty? Huang Taiji looked up to the sky and sighed.

"King Khan! There is no need to be so pessimistic. We'll wait for Azig to come back and take a hard look at where he was defeated. Fan Wencheng comforted him, but he knew in his heart that looking at the current posture, God would bless him if he didn't call the Yaogang people.

Zhang Xianzhong had "Yaogang Weekly" on his desk, and after reading the introduction of the battle of the Yaogang people, he was shocked a lot. He, like Li Zicheng, would not care about the details of the war like those who watched the excitement. This profile is enough to tell the strong combat power of the kiln gang people. There were tens of thousands of them in total, including 20,000 immigrants, and it didn't take long to wipe out 70,000 Manchu and Mongolian troops. More than 100,000 people were chased and beaten by the kiln gangsters, which was simply terrifying.

Now the hateful Li Zicheng couldn't beat the Yaogang people, so he went south again and began to occupy his own place. Doesn't this idiot know that the biggest threat right now is the Kiln Gang people? We should join forces to deal with the kiln talents, right? Zhang Xianzhong also knew that the knot between him and Li Zicheng was too heavy and difficult to untie. But is it the head or the anger in the heart that is important. There's no way, let's try to have a good relationship with the kiln people. However, Zhang Xianzhong understood that one day when the kiln people began to deal with him, he had no power to fight back. The day is slowly approaching.

Zuo Liangyu was even more shocked when he heard that the Yaogang people had won a big victory outside the gate. Because he knew that those Manchu and Mongol iron horsemen were not comparable to Li Zicheng's rabble. The fact that the Yaogang people were able to defeat them easily showed that the combat power of the Yaogang people was really good, and there was no large-scale conflict with the Yaogang people. If his own people meet the Yaogang people, it is likely that even those Manchu and Mongolian cavalry will not be able to compare. Fortunately, they have a good relationship with the people of Yaogang, and the people of Yaogang sell weapons to themselves and do business with themselves, and they also open a branch in Jiujiang, which shows that they still haven't seen each other, or they don't take themselves seriously at all. In any case, it is good to have a good relationship with the kiln people in the future, no matter what happens to them in the future, we have room for communication. It seems that there is no account for going toe-to-toe with others.

To say that when you hear the news of the victory of the Yaogang people, the only joy is Emperor Chongzhen. This is equivalent to the Yaogang people easily breaking the Manchu Qing Dynasty's conspiracy to threaten the Guannai through the northwest, and the threat to the entire north has been reduced a lot at once. In particular, Zhang Zhimu of Yaogang also used a secret letter to report the situation to himself, which made Emperor Chongzhen feel a lot more at ease. In fact, Emperor Chongzhen also knows how much more he can do as an emperor, depending on how much strength Zhang Zhimu of Yaogang can support himself.

Zhang Zhimu, Lu Bingyi, and Li Yunhe all attended the grid-connected power generation ceremony of the Xishan Paozi Hydropower Station. This is a percussion turbine, and it is also the simplest one, although his efficiency is not too high, but for Li Di, who is engaged in hydropower for the first time, this is already good. Before grid connection, they have already done a stand-alone power generation test. This time, I want to connect directly to the grid. Due to the experience of the last thermal power grid, the grid connection this time is also very smooth.

After the successful grid connection, Zhang Zhimu said a few words of congratulations.

However, Zhang Zhimu said to Li Di: "The success of our water turbine shows that we have improved all the industries involved in our entire power station, and this is our biggest gain." But we need to realize that our turbines are not very efficient yet, and there is a lot of room for improvement. Now, Director Tang Jingyao, they have selected a few places on the Hutuo River where dams can be built and larger power stations can be built. This is another opportunity for us. We must conscientiously maintain the operation of this power station and sum up experience. At the same time, it is necessary to study how our water turbines can be improved next time. I think that in the future, we will build a funnel turbine as well. We must continue to work hard. ”

The hydropower plant can generate two megawatts of electricity. But he doesn't need to burn coal. If the rainy season arrives and a little more water can be stored, it can generate three megawatts of electricity. With this small hydropower station, everyone has an intuitive impression of the hydropower station, and the last time everyone knows that no matter how big the water is in the rainy season, it can't affect the water transportation of the Xiaoling River. Because there is this hydropower station that regulates the flow rate.

Returning to Yaogang from Xishan Baozi, Yang Qinglian said: "Yangchang, please come over." ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that Yangchang must have something new again. Zhang Zhimu came directly to Yangchang's office.

Seeing Zhang Zhimu coming, Yang Chang hurriedly put down the pen in his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang, our shortwave radio station has been able to have a voice call with the radio station in Zhenjiang. Let's try it in the past? ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Okay! You've taken another big step. However, in the future, your shortwave radio stations will still have to engage in single sidebands. It may not matter now, because the number of radio stations is very small, but in the future, if we have more ships and all walks of life have to use radios, the frequency bands of radio stations will not be enough. We can make some allocations in the wavelength range of two trillion to thirty megabytes. Some frequency bands are allocated for use on board. After allocating to the ship, the frequency band resources should be properly and rationally utilized. In fact, half of the power we transmit from our communications is wasted. In the future, I will give you a lesson on signals and systems, and after I finish the frequency domain analysis of signals, you will know why half of the power we transmit now is wasted, and half of the bandwidth is also wasted. Let's go! Now look at your voice communications! ”

Yang Chang very much wanted to hear Zhang Zhimu talk about new content, and he knew that Zhang Zhimu would further improve their understanding of the electronics industry every time he finished the lecture. Just like what Zhang Zhimu said, it must be a new field, a new field that can allow everyone to go further.

Following Yangchang to the radio laboratory, Zhang Zhimu saw two radio stations on the workbench. Yangchang asked people to turn on the radio station to warm up for a while, and then picked up the microphone and shouted: "Yangtze River **!" Yangtze**! When you hear it, please answer, Mr. Zhang wants to talk to you! ”

After a while, a voice sounded from the loudspeaker, "Main station! Main station! This is the Yangtze River**! This is the Yangtze River**! ”

The sound Zhang Zhimu heard was somewhat distorted, but the interference from the radio was very small. Because there was very little radio interference in this era, the inside of the channel was very clean.

Zhang Zhimu took the microphone and said, "I'm Zhang Zhimu, please speak to your captain." ”

After a while, a voice came from the loudspeaker again, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang!" I am Li Zhaoxing, captain of the Yangtze River**, please instruct! ”

"Congratulations on the successful communication between you and your home, this is a major event in the construction of our naval army. We also need to build a naval army communications command center at Lingshui Wharf as soon as possible that can provide global communications. Say hello to my brethren who are fighting on the Yangtze River! ”

"Thank you Mr. Zhang for your care! On behalf of all the brothers, I would like to thank Mr. Zhang. The captain was also excited.

After the call, Zhang Zhimu said to Yangchang: "The quality of the call is good, congratulations." However, when speaking loudly, there is some clipping distortion. You still need to improve it. ”

"This clipping distortion is not easy to tune, and we all understand it in theory." Yangchang said.

"Actually, if there is an oscilloscope, it is very easy to solve this problem." Zhang Zhimu said: "It seems that if we want to further develop electronic technology, this oscilloscope must be solved. ”

Yangchang heard Zhang Zhimu say about the oscilloscope, and became interested, "What is the oscilloscope?" ”

"How so? Well, our electronic signals are our own signal waveforms, but we can't see them, and we need to find some way to show them. An instrument that can display this waveform is called an oscilloscope. Zhang Zhimu explained.

"Is this thing difficult?" Yang Chang asked.

"Let's be brief. You've got the cathode display tube. That's when electrons bombard phosphors. If we apply phosphor to a flat glass and move a beam of electrons over the phosphor coated glass, will it produce a luminous movement path on the glass? If we move this beam of electrons quickly and regularly, will we be able to produce patterns? Zhang Zhimu further explained to Yangchang.

Yang Chang nodded slowly and said, "It's a little interesting!" ”

"You quickly organize a group to study this matter. It is necessary to engage in transistors and circuits. Zhang Zhimu said: "However, this thing requires high-voltage devices, and some even reach thousands of volts or even tens of thousands of volts of high voltage." You may need to make improvements to the device as well. ”

"Good! The Yaogang Hotel will be completed soon, and I will organize people to do it immediately. Yang Chang rubbed his hands and was very excited, because there was something new, "However, after we have organized the personnel, you still have to come to give a lecture to everyone." Otherwise, we won't be able to do it. ”

"That's nature, it's new to you." Zhang Zhimu said: "I will also take time to give you a course on signals and systems. After learning this, you are really getting started with communication. There's so much math you need to add. ”

Zhang Zhimu knew that in his previous life, there were many people who were engaged in radio halfway, but they could only engage in simple circuits. It is very difficult for them to teach themselves those theoretical courses because it requires too much mathematical foundation. Learning these is actually learning mathematics, and this is the difference between amateur and professional.

Of course, Yang Chang was so happy to hear this, he always thought that they had learned enough mathematics, and it was not even less than that of Lu Bingyi's people who specialized in mathematics. When he heard that he had to add something about mathematics, he was naturally happy.

Zhang Zhimu said: "You immediately build a communication command center for Commander Fan and them at Lingshui Wharf, they need this shortwave radio station even more." ”

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Commander Fan: They already have a shortwave telegram there, so let's just send them a radio with voice communication. This time, Commander Fan and their boat can be connected to their home when they reach the horizon. Yangchang is full of confidence.

In a small courtyard in Yaogang, Huang Zhi, who returned to Yaogang with his wife from Liaodong, did not go to work because he was sick. He sat in the courtyard for a while, looking very irritable.

In order to reward Huang Zhi for the information he brought back, Li Zhi arranged a small courtyard for Huang Zhi's mother and son. Huang Zhi now also works in Li Zhi's intelligence department. At first, Huang Zhi thought it was good, but after a long time, Huang Zhi found that his work was really painless. It is impossible for him to get in touch with Li Zhi's core secrets, because the management here is extremely tight. Secrets are not accessible to unrelated people at all. But Huang Zhi knew that it would not work like this, if he couldn't get useful confidential information, his old mother who stayed in Liaodong would be in danger.

This old mother brought back by Huang Zhi is fake. In fact, as soon as Huang Zhi returned to Liaodong, he was already targeted by Huang Taiji's intelligence officers. Just when he was about to take his wife back to the kiln, he was arrested. Huang Zhi, who was not afraid of death, confessed all the things he had done about his capture in Zhangjiakou for the sake of his old mother, and promised the kiln people to work for the kiln gang people.

The Qing army just didn't have a chance to break into the inside of the kiln, so they threatened Huang Zhi's old mother and asked Huang Zhi to take a fake mother, make up a lie, and return to the kiln. However, the information that he passed to Yaogang that the Qing army was going to help the Mongols fight the Yaogang people was provided by him sincerely, and it was definitely not because of the information he provided. He also hated the Manchu Qing for using his mother to coerce him.

Although Huang Zhi was a very shrewd man with both civil and military skills, his actions had long been under the supervision of Li Zhi. From the time he gave Li Zhi's house, Li Zhi could see from the flickering eyes of the fake mother that there was something wrong with it. Li Zhi couldn't help but praise Mr. Zhang in his heart.

Later, Li Zhi and the others quickly mastered the peripheral personnel sent by the Manchus to connect with Huang Zhi.

At this time, Huang Zhi already understood that with Li Zhi's shrewdness, his bottom must have been mastered by him. Therefore, Huang Zhi was nervous as soon as he arrived in his office, for fear that Li Zhi would come in and arrest him one day. So Huang Zhi simply rested at home under the pretext of illness. But in his yard, Huang Zhi also felt that he couldn't be quiet.

His false mother warned him to think about his mother. Huang Zhi was even more annoyed in his heart, he didn't know when such a day would end, and he didn't know what happened to the old mother who was thinking about him day and night.

After several days of struggle, Huang Zhi decided to surrender to Li Zhi.

Huang Zhi, who had made up his mind, relaxed, got dressed and came to Li Zhi's office, knocking on the door. The door opened, and a guard came out, and when he saw that it was Huang Zhi, he asked, "Something?" ”

"I have something important to see Director Li!" Huang Zhi said.

The guard came out after a while and said, "Director Li, please come in." ”

Huang Zhi came to Li Zhi's office, saw Li Zhi sitting at his desk, and shouted: "Report!" ”

"Here, sit down." Li Zhi greeted.

"Don't sit down, Director Li. I'm turning myself in. Huang Zhi said.

"Good! I've been waiting for you for this day. Li Zhi stretched out his hand and signaled, "Sit down!" Sit down and say. ”

Huang Zhi knew in his heart that his own affairs had long been under Li Zhi's control. Huang Zhi took a chair and sat down and said, "Director Li, I was forced to do nothing, the old woman in my family is not my mother, my mother has been detained in a Manchu prison. They told me to come back and gather information for them, or they would have killed my old mother. However, the Qing army I brought back to help the Mongols is true. ”

"I said you're confused!" Li Zhi pointed at Huang Zhi and said, "As soon as you come back, you should be honest with me." With your little tricks, you can still hide it from us. As soon as you came back, I could tell that the man was not your old mother. You and your contacts are within our grasp. ”

"I don't want to live such an immortal life, if I can't let go of my old mother, I won't be alive." Huang Zhi held back his tears and lowered his head and said.

"We've always treated you as a man, and we want you to say it yourself. That's why I didn't break you. Li Zhi said: "I think so, we must find a way to save your old mother." But this matter needs to be planned in the long run. You'd better continue to act for your group of people, and wait until we come up with a good solution before taking action. ”

Huang Zhi finished speaking, and walked away with ease. Li Zhi immediately came to Zhang Zhimu's office and reported Huang Zhi's matter to Zhang Zhimu.

"It's a boil, and it's going to come out. It's good if he says it. Zhang Zhimu said: "Tell me your specific thoughts." ”

"In this matter, I have been waiting for Huang Zhi to say it himself, just to make good use of him." Li Zhi's eyes flashed and he said, "We can send a team to Liaodong." Because a lot of things in the Manchu Qing were smuggled by our merchants. There are also a lot of shops from Shanxi in Liaodong. Let's plan it and send someone to build a shop over there, so our people can come with the radio. ”

"It's still risky to use this Huang Zhi." Zhang Zhimu said.

"I thought about it, as long as Huang Zhi's mother is still alive and not young, the people who take care of him will not be too strict, we will send someone to rescue him first, and if it is rescued, we will send the old man back to Yaogang. Huang Zhi was relieved to work for us. If Huang Zhi's mother is gone, he will be even more hateful to the Manchu Qing, and we have no problem using him. "Li Zhi thought very thoughtfully.

"Alright! You can arrange to do this. Zhang Zhimu knew that the intelligence work on the Manchu side was very weak, and it was time to start now. However, the target now is Shaanxi, and he said: "What I am most concerned about now is the intelligence of Shaanxi." ”

"I've already arranged for people to go to Liaodong." Li Zhi said: "The people we sent to Xi'an have taken root, and they are waiting to contact **." However, they didn't wait, and sent people everywhere to reconnoiter the deployment of the Dashun army. I'll get back soon. ”

"You must cooperate with General Ningde to make the situation in Shaanxi as detailed as possible." Zhang Zhimu instructed.

As soon as Li Zhi left, Yang Qinglian said: "Mr. Zhang, call Li Yunhe!" ”

"Hurry up and give me the phone to get through!" After Zhang Zhimu finished speaking, he picked up the cup and took a big sip.

Zhang Zhimu took the phone, and Li Yunhe's voice came, "Mr. Zhang, the coking plant over Niutoushan has been produced, and I have already asked people to transport coal tar to the smelting field in oil drums, and we still store all kinds of oil in oil drums." However, I don't know what to do with the remaining asphalt slag. ”

"Asphalt is a good thing, don't waste it." Zhang Zhimu said: "You still need to build some special oil storage tanks, and you can use all the oil drums to fill as much oil. In addition, you have to build a few train oil tanks that are specially used to transport oil, and you use oil drums to transport it, and it is difficult to load and unload. You have to study this matter with Master Qingfengzi. ”

"What do you say about asphalt?" Li Yunhe said.

"You dig a trough and put it there, I'm going to use them right away." Zhang Zhimu said.

Putting down Li Yunhe's phone, Zhang Zhimu immediately called Duan Jingzhong on the construction site and asked him to come back. Zhang Zhimu wants to discuss the construction of asphalt roads with him.

Duan Jingzhong received a call from Zhang Zhimu personally, how dare he slack off, and hurriedly rushed back by car.

Duan Jingzhong arrived, and Zhang Zhimu called Li Yunhe over again.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Today, Li Yunhe said that we already have a lot of asphalt now, and there will be a lot of asphalt in the future. I've asked you here to discuss with you about building asphalt roads. ”

"That sticky thing can build roads?" Li Yunhe didn't understand.

"That's right, in the future all our high-grade roads will be built with asphalt. Such a road surface is smooth and impact-resistant, not afraid of rain and watering. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Mr. Zhang, what should you say?" Duan Jingzhong knew that Zhang Zhimu would not say this for no reason.

Zhang Zhimu said: "We can do this, first we have to excavate on the road surface, lay large stones on the ground, pave gravel on top of them, flatten them with a road rolling machine and then pave them with gravel, heat the asphalt to a liquid state, spray it on the gravel with a sprinkler head, and then pave the gravel with a rolling machine, press it again with a rolling machine, sprinkle a layer of asphalt and then pave it with gravel and press it again." Finally, a thin layer of asphalt is sprayed on top of a large layer of sand. When the asphalt is solidified, it can be opened to traffic. Such pavements are durable. ”
