Chapter 171: High-Horsepower Generator
The 1000-horsepower steam engine is not the strongest steam engine in this era, the special marine steam engine, and even a single steam engine can reach 6000 or even higher horsepower, but this kind of steam engine is generally military, marine, unless it is used on top cruise ships, or ocean-going cargo ships, the rest, even if it is a train engine, will not exceed 1000, most mechanical researchers, a steam engine with hundreds of horsepower, it is already difficult to get it, and 1000 is even more unobtainable.
Truss looked at Yang Yuanzhao suspiciously, in the conversation, he knew very well that this Yang Yuanzhao didn't know anything, but he could get an engine with more than 1000 horsepower, this is China, not the United States, you know, Truss is in Edison's company, making a steam engine, which is also civilian, and often has problems, he worked hard to complete the modification, and it is this experience that makes him study the dynamics very well.
"Come and see this!" Yang Yuanzhao introduced Truss into a closed warehouse, where there is a reciprocating steam engine, which looks so big, the prototype is still the engine on the Haiqi, the single unit itself is 4500 horsepower, but after Yang Yuanzhao's modification of such a factory time, it has reached more than 6000 horsepower, Truss is an all-rounder, in the field of electricity, has a deep attainment, and is also quite powerful in the field of power, at a glance, he already understands the power of this steam engine, he said in slight surprise:" 5000 horsepower, no, it should be 6000 horsepower! ”
"Yes, the peak is 6537, and the stable dìng time is above 6000!" Yang Yuanzhao nodded and said. This steam engine went through a week-long practice. The number jù is extremely precise.
Next to it, watch the lively crowd. Suddenly stopped talking, this engine, at first glance is a marine engine, the design is exquisite, and even many of the standards in it are definitely not something that can be achieved in the civilian field, and the idea of military use flashed in everyone's hearts, and then turned to other places.
Truss nodded slightly. There is another point he didn't say, the whole steam engine is beautifully designed, and the cutting technology is also extremely advanced, at a glance, you can know that it is the best reciprocating steam engine, a single 6000 horsepower or more, if it is reasonably arranged, it can be used on battleships, even if it is not possible. Heavy cruisers can also be, so that the engine, even in the military, is an absolute boutique. Why is it in Baotou, China, such a relatively barren place.
I'm about to be 60 years old, and after decades of ups and downs. Truss's character is no longer what it used to be. I have suffered so many losses and suffered so much. I also know that there are some things that can't be said casually, with Edison in the United States, such a big family business, not to mention billionaires, multimillionaires always have them, and they can't get military steam engines, this German-American foreign company, as well as this so-called person in charge of Baotou, must not be simple.
"What am I going to do, use this steam engine as a base, to make a generator, a marine engine, it is too explosive, it will cause the voltage of the current to be extremely unstable!"
"This is up to you to solve!" Yang Yuanzhao said: "Of course, I will have some stabilized power supply here, of course, it is relatively small, and it cannot withstand the voltage difference between the peak and the trough of the 6000 horsepower steam engine, you can see if you can make the voltage stable, if not, then reduce the power, I can do only one-fifth of the power of this one, but let its stability reach a very high range."
Yang Yuanzhao is confident, after all, the power of the spinning machine, is solved with the help of this steam engine, although the limit of power has reached 1000 horsepower below, but can drive the spinning of the cotton thread constantly, the fluctuation between this voltage, is absolutely very small, used as a generator, is enough, in how to say, reduced to about 2 percent, its power is still above 1000 horsepower.
Truss hesitated, but there was a hint of essence in his eyes, as a scientist, the inventor of alternating current, has a profound impact on electricity, researchers, before, just did not have the opportunity to contact large steam engines, and even in private, he was also thinking about how to stabilize the power when the power of the steam engine is too large and the peak gap is too large, besides, there is a voltage regulator.
Yang Yuanzhao did not notice Truss's gaze, after Truss did not object to doing research with this steam engine, he breathed a sigh of relief, 1000 horsepower, can reach 5000 kilowatts of electricity per day, 6000 horsepower Although it may not be 6 times, but it also reaches tens of thousands of kilowatts, the capacity of a single unit is enough to become a relatively large generator in this era, in his mind, when Baotou enters the electric age, the scale of power generation, at least to 100 million degrees for the www.biquge.info.
"Mr. Yang!" A lecturer who was not very proficient in Chinese, called Yang Yuanzhao's name and asked in English: "Can we also accept the task?" ”
"Yes, Mr. Yang, can we also get funding like Mr. Truss!" You know, in the United States in this era, the average worker's salary is only between 10 yuan and 20 yuan, even if these engineers and lecturers, most of their salaries are about 50 US dollars, and one of the biggest means for Germany and the United States to recruit them to work in China is to increase their wages, so that they can get double or even higher wages, as well as advance payments.
Yang Yuanzhao smiled slightly, pointed in the direction of the door and said, "Before you visit the real room, have you noticed that there is a room at the door!" ”
Most shook their heads and said, "I didn't see it!" ”
But there are still a few people who are careful and have good memory, and after a little recollection, try to say: "There seems to be a room there, which seems to be very spacious, and there is also a large table in it!" ”
"That's right, that's it, right next to the entrance of the real yàn building, that room of almost 300 square meters, is a planning room, which has the problems that Baotou currently needs to solve, you can discuss it, you can accept the task alone, or you can be several people together, there is a time limit and investment ratio on it, as long as it is completed, you will get a lot of rewards!"
"What about the standard, is it the same as Mr. Truss's?" The lecturer continued, but the greed in his eyes revealed his thoughts, 250,000 US dollars is a huge temptation for everyone, knowing Truss's ability, as well as this alternating current project, no one will think of replacing him, because those they can't do, but how much money they will get, is the key, all of a sudden, everyone's eyes are projected.
Yang Yuanzhao smiled slightly, what he was afraid of was that they were not greedy, the storage of the all-in-one machine, the decomposition of tungsten and some precious metals, enough to support the huge investment in scientific research, as long as the money became the real strength of Baotou, it didn't matter if it was wasted, even if there was only the value of the reserve calculation, and there was no actual mining value of the minerals, he could also use the decomposition of the all-in-one machine, and when the time came, a large number of precious metals could be obtained, and in this era, it could be exchanged for money.
Yang Yuanzhao waved his hand and focused everyone's attention together, and then said: "The study of alternating current is to establish a power station, by the way, to verify Mr. Truss's alternating current theory, which is used to support the construction of the entire industrial zone, the power and electromagnetic real room, is the focus of our stage, our real room, is designed according to everyone's contribution and vision, the major key real room, their level is the same, but the current research direction is also different, but you must know, 200,000, Just the beginning. ”
Everyone's eyes lit up, some clever ones, and even immediately went to the planning room below to see what projects there were, what kind of money would be invested, and whether it was in line with their major, but it was empty here, and Truss had come from the side of the steam engine and said approvingly: "This steam engine is good!" ”
"I hope that Mr. Truss can complete the manufacturing of the generator as soon as possible, what is needed, just say it!"
"This!" Truss was stunned for a moment, seemed to think about it carefully, and then listed a series of lists with a pen, including a lot of materials for alternating current, the generator of this era is relatively simple, but with the help of the power of the steam engine, drive the rotation of the coil, and then generate electricity, these Yang Yuanzhao have prepared, after a simple look, tell Sù Truss that everything will be ready tomorrow.
With Truss, I came to the planning room, which was a little messy, every plan, there were a few people gathered there, Yang Yuanzhao did not hesitate to invest in scientific research, but it does not mean that he does not ask for results, in every plan, there are requirements for people's abilities, and how long it takes to produce the introduction of results, not anyone can engage in such a work.
Fortunately, after some weighing, most people have found a research direction, Yang Yuanzhao's planning room is not a casual pat, he carefully studied the strengths of everyone, and listed the tasks on the most likely combinations and research methods.
Completed the initial classification, 200 people, if it is a ranger scattered and brave to do their own thing, there is no great progress in scientific research at all, Yang Yuanzhao's vision advantage can not be brought into play, only according to the interest, combined into a group, there will be a good table.
After everyone was basically determined, they also elected a temporary person in charge under the assignment of Yang Yuanzhao, and they saw the situation of the real building, especially these real plans, and knew that Baotou was really unseemly, it looked like a poor and backward place, there was such a large real building, and the equipment in it was millions of dollars, these plans, 8 different categories, they next, combined their respective tasks, not to mention AC electricity, The total investment will also exceed 1.5 million US dollars, is it really so rich here?
