After the establishment of United Power Company, Yang Chao soon received a proposal for cooperation from the Americans. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Rockefeller hopes to cooperate with Yang Chao to jointly develop natural gas transportation, Rockefeller hopes to develop liquefied natural gas transportation, Rockefeller built a liquefied natural gas plant in 1917, but it is only experimental, in the United States, they use pipelines to transport, liquefaction is to sell natural gas to Europe, but it has never been able to achieve shipping.

The first LNG ship shipped to Europe by the Americans had to wait until the 50s after World War II, and in this era, the technology is obviously not up to scratch, but Yang Chao's natural gas ship gave Rockefeller hope, and felt that cooperation with Yang Chao might be able to realize the application as soon as possible.

Morgan's General Electric hopes that Yang Chao can cooperate with them to continue to develop gas turbines and research the next generation of technology, which will directly more than double the power to 10,000 or even higher.

GE's plan is that Yang Chao will give them a license for the technology, and they will give Yang Chao a patent fee, and in the future, Yang Chao will be given an additional patent fee for each gas turbine produced.

Gas turbine technology, this is the next generation of technology, is of strategic significance, if possible, Yang Chao hopes that the Americans will never master, but obviously this is impossible, the United States in the field of electrical technology, is still the most powerful in this era, even Siemens can not compete with them, just luckily the first to develop a practical gas turbine.

If the Americans had paid attention earlier, I am afraid that they would have developed it a long time ago, but no one paid attention to it, so in the original history, the Swiss picked up the first, but in this era, there is nothing to do with the Swiss, because of Yang Chao's intervention, all of a sudden these technologies have been pushed to the application at the fastest speed, and the use of venture capital has greatly promoted the development of this technology, and it has entered a complete set of industries of transportation, storage and power generation, and directly entered the market application stage.

And the giants such as Siemens and General Electric have been attracted to it, and the Swiss have no chance at all.

For Rockefeller's suggestion, Yang Chao agreed to cooperate with him in development, and if it can be realized, Yang Chao is willing to purchase such a ship for Yangzi Petroleum Company.

For General Electric's suggestion, Yang Chao put forward another suggestion, the formation of a joint research and development team, he should use the intellectual resources of the Americans to promote the development of this technology as soon as possible, and at the same time, the Americans also need to carry out research and development on the basis of the gas turbine of Yang Zi Laboratory, so the two sides hit it off.

The specific cooperation method is as follows, Yangzi Laboratory set up a branch in the United States, authorized General Electric to continue to develop the follow-up technology of gas turbines, Yangzi Laboratory and GE jointly funded, and the results of research and development were shared by both parties, but GE only has the right to use the patent in the United States and the right to subsequent development, just like the conditions obtained by Siemens, and Yangzi Laboratory is the owner of the patent, if the gas turbine produced by Americans is used in the United States, Yangzi Laboratory has no right to interfere, But if they want to sell abroad, they must get the authorization of Yang Zi Laboratory, and the authorization fee must not exceed three-half of the sales price.

For Yang Chao, in fact, there is no way to do it, if you don't cooperate with General Electric, this giant will definitely be able to develop its own patented technology of gas turbines, avoid the patent barriers of Yang Zi Laboratory, rather than this, it is better to cooperate with them, on the basis of Yang Zi Laboratory's technology, continue to move forward, so that latecomers want to re-do basic research and development, they have to consider that the other party has developed to the second generation, or even the third generation of technology gap, can only honestly obtain authorization, or give up this industry.

Like Xu Yuanqi's team, the Americans also want to expand the technology, they also plan to develop marine models, aircraft engines and next-generation power generation equipment, and they also plan to use it on trains to build gas turbine locomotives to achieve faster speeds.

Well, the Americans still went crazy with gas turbine trains, but they were not as crazy as the Russians, who later loaded gas turbines into trucks.

On the Chinese side, natural gas transported back from Mexico is transported to Yantai through an undersea pipeline on Yangma Island, which drives Yantai's newly built gas turbines and finally generates electricity.

After a year of construction, Yang Chao's 50,000-ton natural gas ship was launched, and the Mexican ambassador personally attended the launching ceremony of the ship, and personally smashed champagne on the hull of the ship.

At this time, the Mexican side has already built a high-pressure gas storage tank, unlike China, they are built directly on the dock, without considering safety issues at all.

It's just that their oil and gas pipelines have not yet been repaired to the west coast, which means that the second natural gas ship of Yangzi Petroleum Company still has to detour to the Gulf of Mexico, but the hull of this ship is too wide, reaching 70 meters, and it cannot pass through the Panama Canal at all, and needs to detour through the Cape of Good Hope or southern Brazil, adding at least 3,000 kilometers of travel.

During World War II, all the warships built by the Americans, in order to pass through the canal, basically did not exceed 30 meters in width, and the maximum width was 33 meters, and the Iowa-class battleships even appeared too thin and long, resulting in a salvo, the hull tilted too much, and there was no advantage compared with the Japanese battleships.

In the end, Yang Chao planned to take a detour to the Cape of Good Hope to accumulate data for this route, after all, he will have to go to the Middle East to transport natural gas in the future.

In fact, the British are already negotiating with Yang Chao, and they also want to sell the Persian natural gas that cannot be used up to sell to Yang Chao cheaply, so that they can earn a little bit during the economic crisis.

Not to mention that the British have this idea, the Americans also have this idea, and Rockefeller's three large fields, at the current rate, will not be mined even if they are mined for a hundred years, which is the most shameful waste for Rockefeller.

Unfortunately, Yang Chao still has only one ship, and it is impossible to buy other unexpected natural gas from Mexico, but he has already begun to negotiate with them about the right price for natural gas, as well as the construction of storage tanks and pumping equipment to dock with gas ships on the west coast of Persia and the United States.

However, Britain and the United States are much more savvy than Mexico, and with huge oil trade revenues in hand, they are not in a hurry to sell natural gas, and they are not in a hurry to invest heavily in infrastructure when they no longer see a future.

So maybe in two or three years, Yang Chao won't buy their gas. (To be continued.) )
