When Zhou Nan came to Nanhua, the first problem that needed to be solved was the dispute between the Institute of Electronic Science and Technology and Hughes Aircraft Company over the power competition.

Hughes Aircraft Company is a large industrial enterprise, especially the wind tunnel laboratory invested in the United States, which needs to consume a lot of electricity.

The basic industry of circuit boards currently carried out by the Institute of Electronic Science and Technology requires the production of a large number of insulating boards, copper plated plates, and zinc plated plates, which also require a lot of electricity.

However, the current Raya Hydropower Station has not yet been fully completed, and only two units of 450,000,000 yuan can provide power supply, and the maximum power generation capacity is only 7.9 billion kilowatt-hours per year, with an average of 21 million kilowatt-hours per day.

This electricity needs to supply less than 30% of the demand for the entire industrial area in western South China.

Therefore, in order to compete for power, major enterprises and research institutions are fighting every day, and the contradiction is getting bigger and bigger.

Pan Zhi has become a solution to this contradiction between supply and demand, and he is also noisy every day.

According to the principle of priority, the priority of the research institute is higher than that of the factory, which is also because the power demand of the research institution is lower than the factory demand.

But now that the wind tunnel laboratory has begun to install and debug, almost half of Borneo's power supply has been affected as soon as this super power-gutting king uses electricity.

Most factories are now equipped with high-power diesel engines, which they can barely tolerate, but the Institute of Electronic Science and Technology does not have the budget for this.

As soon as the wind tunnel laboratory was put into operation, they were the most affected, and the lawsuit reached Pan Zhicheng.

Pan Zhicheng also has a big head, and he is a little uncertain about the priority sequence of these two systems, so he pushes this matter onto Zhou Nan.

In Zhou Nan's view, the wind tunnel laboratory is now. The establishment of the wind tunnel laboratory means that various new models and accessories are being tested for improvement, and if you want to get your fighter into the sky as soon as possible and be able to export, this matter cannot be delayed.

However, the Institute of Electronic Science and Technology is the future, and the development of circuit boards has begun to be used during World War II, but they are all primary products.

Bauessler from Austria is an electrical engineer who studied printing technology.

When he made circuit boards, he first drew an electronic circuit diagram based on the plate-making method in the printing industry, and then etched the circuit diagram on an insulating board with a layer of copper foil, and the unwanted copper foil part was etched away, leaving only the conductive line, so that the electronic components were connected by the circuit formed by the copper foil.

Eisler's invention was taken seriously by the U.S. military, so printed circuits were first used in proximity fuses.

The proximity fuze is a kind of radio fuze invented by the American physicist Van Allen during World War II, which is installed on anti-aircraft artillery shells and emits radio waves when used, as long as the target enters the killing range, the reflected radio waves can detonate the shell.

This type of fuze requires many electronic components to be compactly installed in a very small device, so printed circuits are used. The anti-aircraft shells with proximity fuses used by the Allies dealt devastating blows to German aircraft, and the printed circuit became known to the world.

Although the current development of circuit boards is still relatively rough, Zhou Nan asked Nanhua to thoroughly grasp the leading position of circuit boards in a wide range of production and application.

The Institute of Electronic Science and Technology, led by Max Bonn and Bohr Jr., has been engaged in research in quantum mechanics. But they have recognized the tool revolution that transistors, circuit boards, can bring.

Especially after Zhou Nan established a separate computer school and appointed Turing as the dean. If they didn't know Zhou Nan's thoughts, they wouldn't be good scientists.

Max Bonn and Pol Jr. were both introduced to Zhou Nan by Pol, and Pol refused to go out of the mountain now, but Zhou Nan, the father of the European Union, opened his mouth, and he introduced Bonn, who admired Zhou Nan the most, and his son to Zhou Nan.

Born in Poland, Bonn was a German and Jewish. Therefore, I have special admiration for Zhou Nan, the father of the European Union, who also has a relationship with Germany and has full sympathy for the Jews.

Bol Jr. is the same age as Zhou Nan, and although he is not well-known now, he was also a master of physics and won the Nobel Prize.

Although he is the same age as Zhou Nan, he is only a few months younger, but he regards Zhou Nan as an idolatry. When he knew that his father was going to introduce some physics and electronics experts to Zhou Nan, he took the initiative to invite Ying and came to Nanhua.

During Pol's research on the atomic bomb, he was Pol's personal assistant.

After knowing this, Zhou Nan even paid more attention to Pol Jr. than Bonn.

However, he didn't dare to show it at all now, and he didn't even dare to discuss this topic with Pol Jr.

What Nanhua needs most now is stability, stability in life, economic stability, trade stability, and financial stability. It is only with these foundations that some research in that area can be carried out quietly.

Because they understood Zhou Nan's intentions and the role of computers in physics research, they had a strong interest in the study of microelectronics.

Although it is not far behind by Europe and the United States, the foundation of Nanhua is almost blank, and if it wants to catch up with the footsteps of foreign countries, research cannot be delayed.

Now as soon as the wind tunnel laboratory uses electricity, their side will be paralyzed, of course, they will be angry.

However, the layman does not understand the importance of circuit boards, which seem to be basic industries. Electroplating is high pollution and high energy consumption, and even many experts believe that the circuit board research institute should be arranged to the periphery of the university science and technology city, so as not to damage the environment here.

Zhou Nan did not ignore these requests, although the research and development of circuit boards is seriously polluted, but it is an important way for the application and development of the electronics and microelectronics industries.

Even if the chip developed today does not have a circuit board, the chip is useless.

Even if the factory is to be moved, it will be the time for large-scale application in the future, but there will still be a large experimental center left in the Institute of Electronic Science and Technology.

Moreover, the industry is now just starting out in the world, and there is no one who is better than whom.

If you fall behind at this time, and are closed by other countries using patents, and want to develop in the future, it will be difficult.

In addition to circuit boards, diodes and transistors have also been imitated in the laboratory, but the imitation of transistors has encountered a bottleneck.

Whether it is a wind tunnel laboratory or an electronic experiment factory, it is a large consumer of electricity.

Neither side of the government can be offended, and it will be difficult to coordinate the use of electricity between them, and it can only be in the middle and thin mud.

As a result, the lawsuit went all the way to Zhou Nan.

In fact, just in terms of electricity consumption, an electronic experimental factory, even if all kinds of electroplating machinery are fully open, more than 100,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity a day is enough.

The wind tunnel laboratory is very good, because Zhou Nan does not know much about this aspect, so when it was built, the Americans built this wind tunnel laboratory built in the Wutong Mountain into a full-function wind tunnel in order to promote their equipment.

This wind tunnel has not only low-speed wind tunnels, but also high-speed wind tunnels, which can not only test airplanes and various aircraft accessories, but also test almost all products that need to be tested, such as automobiles, buildings, missiles, etc.

This leads to the staggering power consumption of various drive equipment, in addition to the drive equipment, there are also temperature measurement equipment, electric heaters, shock wave equipment, etc., when the horsepower is fully opened, the daily power consumption can reach 960,000 kWh.

After the wind tunnel was built, it was still controlled by the Americans. But in addition to providing services for Hughes Aircraft Company, it can also provide services for various other industries in South China, such as Volkswagen, such as seismic testing of buildings.

After the construction of the wind tunnel laboratory controlled by the Americans, it became an absolute good power user, and they were affected by the American side, and they have been running at full power for testing, which consumes a lot of electricity and has also caused a very big impact on other factories and construction sites.

This is Hongguoguo's conspiracy, and Pan Zhicheng and they can't say that they can directly cut off the power supply of the wind tunnel laboratory, after all, the country needs this laboratory.

But let them continue to consume electricity like this, and the impact on the development of other industries is really huge.

After Zhou Nan learned about this situation, he drove directly to the wind tunnel laboratory. Get an up-close look at their testing work on a folding wing that Hughes Aircraft purchased from Fairchild Aircraft.

The famous Fairchild Semiconductor Company, whose boss Sherman Fairchild, made his fortune by producing aircraft cabins and wings.

Hughes Aircraft Company has received an order for a fighter jet from Nanhua and is working hard to develop a new model, so there is indeed a lot of work to be done in the wind tunnel experiment.

After visiting the laboratory, Zhou Nan proposed that in the future, it would be necessary to limit the power supply of the wind tunnel laboratory.

Brady, the director of the laboratory here, immediately raised objections: "Mr. Zhou, you have also seen today that the work of the wind tunnel laboratory is very important, not only the new models of Hughes Aircraft Company need to be continuously fatigue tested, but even the new models developed by Volkswagen that conform to the Asian terrain also need to be tested, and the power supply of the wind tunnel laboratory cannot be stopped for a moment." ”

"I understand, so the power supply in the wind tunnel has been prioritizing the power supply sequence. However, the development of Nanhua needs to be considered in an all-round way, and it cannot only focus on wind tunnel testing without ignoring the development of other industries. The power consumption of a wind tunnel laboratory is equivalent to that of hundreds of factories, and saving one hour of electricity here can alleviate the electricity consumption of hundreds of factories. ”

Brady insisted: "The wind tunnel test cannot be stopped for a moment, otherwise the time for the fighter to be installed will have to be postponed." ”

Zhou Nan still said in a harmonious voice: "Although the production of fighter jets is important, isn't the production of guns important?" Mr. Brady, I hope you can also consider the actual situation in Nanhua, and wait until next spring, when the hydropower station is completed, and then the power supply will be relieved. ”

The Raya Hydropower Station built by Switzerland has a total of eight 450,000 kilowatt generating units, with a total power generation capacity of 3.5 million kilowatts, equivalent to 1.5 times the power generation capacity of the Gezhouba Hydropower Station.

Add to that the four 670,000-kilowatt power stations that the United States is now building on the Mahakan River in the east, and South China will have almost enough power to meet its needs.

Even if South China grows faster and power is scarce, the construction of one or two more thermal power plants can meet the power supply of Borneo, and even supply power to the British occupation area.
