Chapter 90 New Motors Connected to the Grid The aluminum plant started

The operation of the 100 MW generating units in Niutoushan has been tested for a period of time and is very stable. The grid-connected technology is now a mature technology for Li Di, and Zhang Zhimu knows that he came to participate in the grid-connected ceremony to celebrate with everyone.

Li Yunhe, Li Di and Yangchang had already arrived at Niutou Mountain. They and the third child of Niutoushan all came to the station to pick up Zhang Zhimu and their party.

As soon as they got out of the car, Zhang Zhimu and the others felt that their eyes lit up. The current Niutou Mountain is not as good as it was back then, and rows of buildings have been built under the mountain. The streets are paved with stone slabs, large and small shops and restaurants are next to each other, and the streets are full of people, and it has become a prosperous town.

Zhang Zhimu said: "Third child, you are amazing! Niu Tou Sanrang did a good job! ”

"Mr. Zhang, it's not that I have the ability, it's the silver that has the ability. The brothers who stayed in Niutou Mountain to mine coal earned a lot of silver in their pockets, and merchants from all walks of life came uninvited. One by one, they are also earning a lot of money here. There are more and more people. Besides, our coking plants and power plant workers are also bulging in their pockets, can you say that it is not attractive? Hearing Zhang Zhimu praise him, the third child was also excited, "Mr. Zhang, if you come again next year, we will change here." ”

Zhang Zhimu said: "Okay! I'll come back to see you. But what I'm concerned about now is what happened to the power plant? Li Di, let's go directly to the power plant. ”

On the way to the power plant, Li Yunhe, Li Di, and Yang Chang crowded together in Zhang Zhimu's car. Li Di said: "The operation of the generator set is very stable, and grid connection is a matter of ceremony. ”

"How did you generate electricity so quickly?" Zhang Zhimu asked.

"Oops! If you ask Li Yunhe, he can't wait to urge me a hundred times a day," Li Di said, "We don't have enough electricity, and everyone is waiting to generate electricity." We're desperate too. However, power generation is power generation, and there are many external foundations that are not yet finished. ”

Li Yunhe said: "It's right that you generate electricity first, and the peripheral things can be slowly improved if they don't affect safety." ”

"Electricity has now restricted our development, don't wait for the next unit to be built directly." Zhang Zhimu knows that electricity is such a thing, and he must prepare in advance.

Li Di said: "The foundation has been done for a long time, and this time we will build the foundation of two more units at once." I also watched it, and then I got on two units at the same time, and I was still nervous at that time. The foundation of the power plant we built in Baode is also being built. It is also on two units at the same time. I'm afraid that Baotou will also have two units at the same time. However, if all the electricity is generated, the transmission capacity of our grid is not enough. Let's expand when the time comes! ”

"Don't worry, the Baode aluminum plant will be put into operation at the end of the year. At that time, we would have a lot of aluminum wires. "Although the conductivity of aluminum is only two-thirds of that of copper, we can thicken the cable to solve the problem." The specific weight of aluminum is much smaller than that of copper, and the same weight of aluminum is stronger than the same weight of copper conductive energy. At that point, we can replace all the copper cables. ”

Li Yunhe said: "This time, you should also go to Baode to have a look, where the kiln for processing ore has been put into production. The electrolytic aluminum workshop is also being commissioned. In fact, we are waiting for the 100 MW units here to be connected to the grid. There's too much power going on. ”

"Yunhe, if aluminum can be produced, we will be able to do a lot of things." Zhang Zhimu said, "First of all, we can save a lot of copper for power development. In addition, aluminum has a low melting point, and many things can be directly cast, or die-cast. It's lightweight, and a lot of what we used to be steel could be replaced with aluminum. The main thing is that aluminum ore is almost infinite and is distributed everywhere. As long as we have electricity, we can smelt. Our copper is too tight, automatic rifles are good, but too expensive. The size of our current army is still reluctant, and if it expands further, our copper gap will be much larger. ”

"We can also go buy some Yunnan copper!" Li Yunhe said.

"Copper was specially controlled by the Ming Dynasty, and even in Yunnan, it was not something that could be sold and bought casually," Zhang Zhimu said. ”

"Hey! Now the Ming Dynasty is also immortal, and they can't give Yunnan silver when they get copper. Li Yunhe said, "It's better for us to take down Sichuan in the next step, and go directly to Yunnan to buy copper through Sichuan." ”

"Then it's better to knock Yunnan down again. Isn't it more convenient for us to ship copper ourselves. Li Di interjected.

"You bastards, don't go out and talk nonsense." Zhang Zhimu said, "We are also ordered to suppress thieves when we conquer Shaanxi, and we are not allowed to talk nonsense about other things." ”

The connection of the 100 MW generator set to the grid was very smooth, and Zhang Zhimu also delivered an encouraging speech. After the generator was successfully connected to the grid, Zhang Zhimu and others also visited the construction site of the new unit. Now the foundations of the two new units have been built, and the boilers have been shipped to the site and are ready for installation.

Zhang Zhimu asked Li Di: "When will this unit be able to generate electricity?" ”

"This is soon, I just generated the coal supply system of this unit, and there are other things that can be shared, so I will bring them a share." Li Di said, "There is no accident that it will be able to generate electricity around the middle of next year, and we will have experience in the second unit." ”

"Now, we're mature with both two megawatt and one hundred megawatt units, which is just great. So that we can do electricity on a large scale. Zhang Zhimu said, "I know, you also have some strong generals who are engaged in marine steam turbines." However, you must have two teams. A set of production, in the production process to find problems and improve problems. Another team is developing a new type of generator with higher power. ”

"No matter how big it is, it's not easy, I'm worried that the pressure and temperature are high, and our materials won't work." Li Di said.

"It doesn't matter, now our molybdenum ore has been produced in Weinan, and it would be good to wait for Li Dong and them to refine molybdenum alloy steel, molybdenum alloy steel has high strength, and it will not soften with high temperature, this is his characteristic. In the future, high temperature and high pressure valves and pipelines can be switched to molybdenum steel. Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oh! It would be nice to have such steel. "Li Di.

Li Yunhe said: "This molybdenum steel can be done quickly, Qingfengzi can use molybdenum steel for many chemical equipment." ”

"You should go home with your son about this." Zhang Zhimu said.

"Oh, I haven't seen them for a long time, they've been in Baotou for a few months. There are so many things to look for them. Li Yunhe said.

"Don't blame him," Zhang Zhimu said, "the two bottlenecks of our development now, one is electricity and the other is steel. They are solving the problem of steel in Baotou. But there will soon be another bottleneck, and that is your fierce fire oil. ”

"There is no problem with the fierce fire oil, the well they drilled in Yanchang County is not deep and the oil is produced, but the amount is still too small, and it is estimated that the oil can be pumped a little deeper." Li Yunhe said, "But we got a batch of fierce fire oil back for Master Qingfengzi, and their production line for distilling fierce fire oil is already under construction." You can rest assured that when our tractors are used in large quantities, the oil will still be available. ”

"Huh! I'm not as optimistic as you are. Zhang Zhimu said, "After we go back, the two warships on the Lingshui wharf will be launched for sea trials." They are out of the dock, are we Xiurong going to be reequipped with 203 guns? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, the 203 gun has been transported to the dock, and it is in the warehouse." Li Yunhe said.

"Oh! I said that this time the paper mill opened, I stopped by the dock to take a look, I didn't see any guns, you put them in the warehouse. Zhang Zhimu said.

At the banquet in the evening, Lu Bingyi praised in his speech, saying: "Today, 100 megawatt generating units are connected to the grid for power generation, which has raised our entire power generation level by a big step. In particular, we see that this unit has not only increased its capacity tenfold, but I think it is also the most automated unit. A lot of metrics can be seen at a glance in the control room. This is the contribution made by Yangchang and them. This time they used a large number of tubes. In order to be safe and reliable, many places have made two-way backups, or even three-way backups. I think this is also a *** level of our control. Congratulations! In the future, our Hutuo River reservoir generator set can also learn from this set of control system. ”

These words were originally what Zhang Zhimu wanted to say, but when Lu Bingyi said it, Zhang Zhimu was even happier. Because in addition to seeing this himself, there are others who can see it, which makes Zhang Zhimu indescribably happy in his heart. Although these control systems are not worth mentioning in the previous life, they are a huge improvement here.

Zhang Zhimu and his party left Niutou Mountain and took the train to Baode together. In Baode, they visited the Baode aluminum plant and also visited the newly built power plant. Since the 100-megawatt generator was connected to the grid, the brothers at the Baode Aluminum Plant were overjoyed, because many of their equipment consumed too much electricity, and the previous grid did not have enough power supply capacity, so they did not dare to start commissioning the equipment. Now it's good. Zhang Zhimu: When they arrived, many people didn't rest in a row. Zhang Zhimu: They had already seen pieces of silver-white aluminum ingots. Zhang Zhimu happily said to the director of the aluminum factory: "Give the brothers a meal and celebrate!" It is necessary to reward the heroes who participated in the construction of the factory. ”

The foundation of the power plant is also being built, but it is clearly a little later than on the other side of Niutou Mountain. Li Yunhe saw Zhang Zhimu locked up here, and came over and said: "It's better for them to be here later, because the Niutou Mountain side has to be finished first, and the personnel and equipment can take care of it." It's all on schedule. ”

After leaving Baode, Zhang Zhimu and the others stopped at Hequ for a while, because Li Yunhe said that the channel of the Yellow River in Hequ has been explored, and now some people are doing preliminary preparations here. Before the end of the year, after the construction of the Fenhe Bridge is completed, Lu Qi and his team will divide some people to come over to build the Hequ Yellow River Bridge.

Lu Bingyi said to Zhang Zhimu: "The design of the bridge is still in progress, but it has not been decided, and the bridge is made of cement or steel trusses. I also have to argue that it can be done well before the start of construction next year. ”

In Hequ, Zhang Zhimu received a telegram from Chen Yufeng from Datong, which said: "They have finished talking with Wang Ye and Jiang Zongbing in Datong, and now they are rushing back." ”

Zhang Zhimu asked people to telegraph back and said: "The matter here has been completed, and we will rush back immediately." See you at the kiln. Then, they didn't stop at Hequ, Zhang Zhimu and they went back to Yaogang directly.

Zhang Zhimu still wanted to know how Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He talked to Wang Ye and Jiang Zongbing this time, although he also wanted to know about the situation on the Hetao side. But he knew that there was no longer much of a problem here. Because it not only has its own army, but also hundreds of thousands of immigrants who will use force to protect their homeland. That's an organized emigrant, not a mass of scattered sand to be slaughtered by the weak.

returned to the kiln to rest overnight, and the next morning, Zhang Zhimu came to the command center. Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He were already here, and everyone said hello when they saw Zhang Zhimu. Ouyang He picked up a telegram and handed it to Zhang Zhimu.

Zhang Zhimu took it and took a look, the original Liu Yun sent it. What is said is that Shi Tao and they crossed the Qinling Mountains, and when they were surveying in the area of Huixian, they were surrounded by more than 100 Shun troops, and as a result, the survey team and a platoon of soldiers in charge of their guards killed more than 100 people, and only a few of them were slightly injured.

After reading the telegram, Zhang Zhimu said: "If our people go on like this, they will suffer a great loss. They dare to measure under their noses. It's too careless, this time it's lucky, and it's hard to say next time. ”

"I have already sent a telegram to Liu Yun, and if there is such a thing in the future, I must send more people to protect it. If Shi Tao and they make any mistakes, the loss will be great. Their survey team is not only Shi Tao's people, but also Mr. Lu's elite, but they can't be careless. Ouyang He said.

Chen Yufeng said: "We all have a tendency to be proud and underestimate the enemy, and this time we have to review it carefully. Then inform the whole army. ”

"Let's talk about you this time!" Zhang Zhimu said.

Ouyang He told him what happened after they followed Zhou Yuji and his wife to Baotou this time.

When Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He arrived in Baotou, they gathered all the officers of the army above the regimental level and announced the appointment of Zhou Yuji, appointing him as the commander-in-chief of the northern defense line and the commander of the northern border region. Ningde's new position is the commander of the Western Border Region.

Many of the original officers of Yaogang did not expect to appoint Zhou Yuji to this position. Because Zhou Yuji's time to Yaogang was too short, it was really unexpected for him to get such an important role just by participating in such a task to solve Ordos.

How could Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He not know everyone's thoughts, which is one of the reasons why they came to accompany Zhou Yuji to take office. Ouyang He said: "You may be a little strange, how could Commander Zhou, who has always been an official of the imperial court, suddenly reach such a high position in our kiln gang. Let me tell you, Commander Zhou has been a member of our kiln gang for a long time. There is another important reason, that is, Commander Zhou has the ability to take on this heavy responsibility. He is very familiar with the situation at the border gates, and with him here, Mr. Zhang and we are all relieved. I hope that everyone will support Commander Zhou's work in the future. ”

Everyone is still convinced by Zhou Yuji, and besides, the appointment issued by Mr. Zhang himself, as well as Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He personally came to announce the appointment, how can there be any reason for disobedience. The officers stood up together and saluted Zhou Yuji.

Zhou Yuji also hurriedly got up and saluted everyone. At this time, Zhou Yuji was really excited, they knew that these officers who saluted him were the elite of the kiln gang, and he was inferior to them in terms of tactics, he had been at the border for a long time, and he had more experience than them. It is a great honor for them to be able to obey their own command now. They will all look at themselves in the future, and they will also feel a sense of pressure in their hearts.

Of course, Zhou Yuji also talked to the officers about some heart-wrenching words.

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He personally sat in charge and began to help Zhou Yuji with the reorganization of the army. After determining the main officers, Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He didn't care about more detailed things, and Qin Peng took the staff officers to cooperate with Zhou Yuji to do it.

Chen Yufeng and Ouyang He took time out to inspect the reclamation work in the Hetao area.

Now there are hundreds of thousands of people here, and it is completely different from the beginning. Speaking of this, Ouyang He said: "Mr. Zhang, the matter of the tractor, I have to urge Li Yunhe to hurry up." We saw that the thing was just playing in the wasteland. In particular, they use tractors over there to be amazing. Li Dong: They are over there, helping them try to make a big plow. Dragged by two tractors with wire ropes, the water diversion ditch can be ploughed directly in the field. ”

"How can you plow out a ditch over and over again?" Zhang Zhimu was a little surprised.

"Not once, the first time you plough out a three-meter-wide ditch, and the second time you change it to a small plow, and plow another deep ditch in that wide ditch. Then the rollers are dragged by a tractor and crushed, and finally they are rested by hand. It's just too fast to dig out the usual branch canals. Ouyang He explained.

"Not to mention the branch canal, it is a dry canal, and it is much faster to push it with a tractor." Chen added, "It's that they have too few tractors. Let Yunhe and them hurry up. ”

"Huh! I didn't expect the tractor to make you two anxious. Zhang Zhimu said, "It's almost time, their new factory is desperately rushing to work." Yunhe promised me that it would be put into production by the end of the year. There are too many places where we are going to use tractors. ”

"Huh! Did we just see that! Chen Yufeng said, "The matter of adaptation in the north, Qin Peng and they stayed there, and they should get it done before the end of the year." In the winter, we told them to have a cavalry division on duty at all times. Because once the Yellow River froze, I was afraid that the Mongols in the west would cross the Yellow River and cause trouble. They haven't suffered our losses directly, and they will definitely try their luck. ”

"Also, the road leading to Baiyun is now being repaired, Li Dong and their meaning, there can be a convenient road before the railway is built, and it will be more convenient to build the railway. But I stopped working when they were frozen, otherwise it would be dangerous outside. They've been able to come back recently. Ouyang He added, "I have a suggestion to build a bridge over the Yellow River in Baotou." That would connect Ordos and Baotou. Qinzhidao can also go straight to Baotou, and it can also go straight to the Baiyun mining area in the future. ”

"That bridge has to be built. However, I still hope that the Hequ Yellow River Bridge will be built and then built there, because if the bridge is opened, our car can go directly to Ordos, and at that time, many materials for building bridges can be transported directly by water or land. With the experience of building bridges in the meanders of the river, it is possible to build the Baotou Bridge again. After all, the river meanders here are closer to us, and it is easy to solve any needs. ”

"It's still Mr. Zhang's thoughtfulness," Ouyang He said, "Then let's talk about this trip to Datong." ”

"Yes! The acting prince and Jiang Zongbing called us several times to ask us to come over, and they must have something in mind. Zhang Zhimu said.
