What greeted everyone's eyes was a huge building, which looked like a large industrial base, with a large number of steel tanks and various buildings, but there was no smoke in the chimney, and there was no sign of people outside.

Noticed the eyes of the Nanyang people in the carriage, responsible for receiving them in Tianjin staff suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride, here is the treasure of Baotou, when Yang Yuanzhao opened the industry in Baotou, the first is located here Baotou cement plant, and then it took a few years, with the help of the planning of the planners, has formed a large functional area, only relying on Baotou is the light industry industrial belt, there are printing and dyeing and textile, two high energy consumption, high pollution enterprises, did not choose on the bank of the Yellow River, Baotou of the year, For the two major factories, a small tributary of the Yellow River was specially diverted, which was specially used for the industrial water of the factory, pollution deposition and treatment, so the entire Baotou industrial belt appeared to be clean and abnormal, and there were no usual European and American industrial areas, full of chimneys and smoke and dust.

But now, this industrial zone has become more and more unsuitable for the development of Baotou, from the beginning of the occupation of the northwest, the scope of Baotou control zhì is expanding more and more, more and more places can be used as an industrial zone, Baotou is also from the original economic and industrial core city, and gradually towards the central city and super city 8 ∮ development, so the surrounding industrial and mining enterprises have been relocated, originally this piece, there are many people staring, the land resources around Baotou are relatively scarce, as long as the land is taken and the house is built, there is no shortage of people to buy, However, after weighing the pros and cons, Yang Yuanzhao decided to keep this industrial zone. Of course, all the factories had to be relocated. What remains is the land and buildings of the factory.

Yang Yuanzhao's idea was based on the model of later industrial museums and industrial theme parks. These buildings have a strong individual character, have an industrial aesthetic, except for the cleared empty field, the construction of a huge industrial exhibition hall of 300,000 square kilometers, the rest of the changes have not been made, still remain the same.

When the northwest reception, after speaking with pride, the carriage was indifferent. In this most important carriage, the people sitting are all rich people in Nanyang, there is Chen Kah Kee this system, there are also some huge families rooted in Nanyang, more than 300 years, after many years, they can save zài, it proves their strength and vision, one by one. Each building represents a huge wealth and industrial production capacity, something that they have not had in Nanyang for many years. Baotou has been used as a backward production capacity or cleared out of the scope of Baotou, such a northwest, such a Baotou. How strong is the strength.

The wealthy businessmen were excited, especially a few of them. Want to go straight down to visit, because according to the reception words. The exhibition hall here is the exhibition of all the export machines in Baotou, and there are even some small-scale displays.

Coming to the Northwest, on the one hand, is to see the strength of the Northwest, to help them make decisions, hearing is false, seeing is believing, now really come to the Northwest, feel the vigorous power of the Northwest, in fact, the heart has made a decision, and now have the opportunity to see the most comprehensive machinery and equipment exhibition hall in Baotou, such an opportunity, no one wants to miss.

The Nanyang delegation's mention made the reception a little difficult, so I asked for instructions, especially through the guò telegram to ask about Baotou, and finally replied that it was possible to change the itinerary to visit.

This train is a special train, because a train can only accommodate more than 1,000 people, almost all of them are raced to this car, after stopping at the nearest small station here, waiting a little, about half an hour later, a row of buses rushed from Baotou.

Yang Yuanzhao is an engine engineer, in the field of automobiles, has a natural advantage, a variety of gasoline vehicles based on the car has been developed, gradually adjusted and matured, this bus is one of them, a can accommodate 36 people, in order to pick up these people, a total of nearly 50 buses.

Under the guidance of the reception, these people got into the car with curiosity and sat down, when the car was turned on, they suddenly felt different, they had not seen a car, but most of the cars were small, even if there was such a car that could sit with a lot of people, that is, within ten people, similar to thirty or forty people at once, comfortable seats and interior arrangement, smooth on the road, and look at the speed, not slow, some wealthy families even began to consider, whether to get one back.

However, their idea is destined to be unrealizable, the bus is too advanced compared to this world, and the engine he uses is an engine of more than 300 horsepower, which belongs to the type that cannot be flowed out, and it is more strictly controlled than the northwest.

The convoy moved forward quickly, they stopped at the small station, not far from the exhibition center, here set up this small station, but also for this expo center, a lot of people who buy northwest equipment, come here, do not stay in Baotou, come directly to the expo center, see all kinds of equipment, after deciding, will buy.

Entering the industrial zone, looking at the factory area that is still brand new, and even there are traces of industrial production, imagining that there may be 500,000 workers, producing together here, creating countless wealth, even Chen Jiageng is a little emotional, the northwest is really different, he has strong strength, if the future leader of China chooses one from Beiyang, the revolutionary party and the northwest, it must be the northwest.

Baotou Expo Center, which is a large steel structure covering an area of 300,000 square meters, which is subdivided into five categories, daily necessities, steel, machine tools, road construction machinery, light industry machinery and other categories, recently, and added cars, trains, rails and other small items, these together, only occupy a quarter of the space of the entire exhibition center, the rest, is still in the rapid filling.

Light industrial products, steel, Southeast Asia has imported a lot, Tan Kah Kee as the head of the entire Southeast Asian delegation, he first paid attention to, is electricity, some time ago, the Chen family in the northwest to purchase an annual output of 100,000 kilowatt hours of units, a certain number of dù, has met the needs of the Chen family, and even to the outside power supply, Penang one-tenth of the electricity, are supplied by the Chen family, the high efficiency and value of electricity, so that the center of the Chen family, slightly deflected, it seems that electricity is a good direction.

This time, it is not only a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the northwest, but also a large-scale procurement action, you know, in the future, not only Penang, but also more than a dozen cities, the Tan family needs to build power plants, with a total production of more than 8 million kilowatt hours.

The guide who was responsible for guiding them, after listening to Chen's narration, said: "Mr. Chen, what you purchased before was a DC generator, this kind of generator, the power is small, not very suitable for long-distance transmission, I believe you also know, there is no intensive saving in dispersion, not only management personnel, but also transportation, and a series of inputs. ”

"But isn't DC only capable of transmitting very closely?"

"DC is very close, but our new generator can use AC control zhì, through guò high-voltage transmission, can transmit electricity hundreds of kilometers away, so that you can build a large-scale power plant belt in a convenient transportation place, and then, just need to ensure the transmission line."

Chen Jiageng pondered for a while, the 10 cities he chose, not far apart, if you find a core, the farthest, will not exceed 80 kilometers, in this way, really do not need every city, just set up a generator, under the explanation of the guide, he is clear with a series of problems with the generator set, now, the largest generator set used for sales in the Baotou Exhibition Hall has reached 50,000 kilowatts, such a generator set, that is, in order to expand the capacity in the future, you can also directly 2 generator setsThen the supporting transmission lines and substations, the overall investment, than the eight 10,000 kilowatts of power generation capacity, but also save a lot of money, the most important thing, the efficiency of electricity to improve.

Everyone knows that the larger the generator set, the more electricity generated per unit cost, Yang Yuanzhao adopted some concepts of later generations, under the leadership of the power master Truss, the gradual success, the transformation of alternating current, in terms of cost, will be more than direct current, at least 3 percent of the savings, plus the increase in power, the increase in efficiency, the most important thing is that 24 hours of operation, no downtime, so overall, the price of electricity, has been three-quarters of the original, not to mention the reduction and management of personnel, you know, a substationIt is just a passive acceptance and decentralization, which is different from the production of the factory, and the difficulty of such management is much lower than before, so it is more efficient.

Soon, the order of nearly 2 million was negotiated, Chen Jiageng set two 50,000 kilowatt units, the contract period is one year, and then, the northwest will go to Nanyang, install these generator sets, and the preliminary layout work, it was handed over to the Chen family to do, they need to choose a relatively flat place, but also have a relatively convenient traffic environment, preferably a port.

The order was signed so quickly, and even the delivery date was determined, which surprised everyone, the strong production capacity in the northwest can be seen, electricity is the emerging development direction of this era, not only Tan Kah Kee is optimistic about electricity, he is only responsible for the surrounding area of Penang, there are many cities in Nanyang, and even in the ancestral homes of major families, advanced electricity is also needed.

Northwest in terms of electricity, the most complete categories, the most products, both 50,000 kilowatts of large generator sets, there are 5 kilowatts of the smallest unit, can meet the electricity needs of a few households, which gives them a great choice, most of the main members of the delegation, in the power area is the longest, the final order of the total amount of 3.5 million US dollars, that is, more than 7 million Northwest Yuan, the effect is very gratifying.
