Industry, the reason why it is called **, is because it represents a great progress in productivity, which is a kind of progress that crushes the old era.

Starting from the British industry, the development of the whole world began to grow, and industrial production was far from being comparable to the development of the small peasant economy and handicraft workshops in the past.

The first industry, in just a few decades, has surpassed the development of the past 100 years and millennia, and Europe has begun to surpass the traditional civilization of Asia, and science and technology have increasingly become the driving force of productivity, and from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, electricity ** is a change, it has become the second industry.

The second industry is even more terrible, although there is no improvement compared to the first industry, it is based on the height of the first industry, and the depth and breadth of the second industry are far from being comparable to the first industry.

If it is said that the first industrial ** created the two traditional powers of Britain and France, they used the fruits of industry to occupy land and set up colonies around the world, so to speak, with the resources of the whole world, to support the two of them, then the second industrial ** is to create two countries that have far-reaching influence on the whole world, one is the United States and the other is Germany.

The United States and Germany have always been one of the great powers in the past, but the first industrial ** did not let them surpass the United Kingdom, but the second industrial **, along with the use of electricity and various new machinery and energy, backward production capacity and equipment, began to have problems, and Britain was pulled down from the first position in the world, although at this time, Britain still has a strong military, and even against the entire world's naval warships, but from the total industrial volume and gross domestic product, first surpassed by the United States, and then, It was caught up and surpassed by Germany, especially Germany, which has the world's largest army, and challenged Britain's eyes on the navy, which is Britain's absolute strength, which eventually caused an arms race and became one of the antecedents of World War I.

Now, the second industrial ** has been in the ascendant, now, all countries in the world are studying the application of electricity in industry, all kinds of equipment based on electricity, began to appear more and more, in the past history, China's similar use is still relatively few, but also missed the first and second industrial **, until a few decades later, China has not completed a basic industrialization, just look at a war related to China's fate, fought for more than 10 years, It can be seen that China even needs to import all its bullets outside.

Now, it's different, Yang Yuanzhao has traveled to this era, and has missed the first industrial **, so you can't miss the second industrial **, although the second industrial ** from 1870 is far from the peak at this time, but the sudden increase in the growth rate of the United States and Germany proves that the two great powers have absorbed countless nutrients from it.

Whether it is history, or past experience, Yang Yuanzhao from later generations is very clear about the excellent use of electricity, and the power represented by the steam engine, the power is more stable, less consumption, greater effect, and even when the long-distance transmission is solved, the power plant can be centralized or even giant, some water conservancy and wind power and other power generation methods that are limited by seasonality or all aspects can also be applied, there are more sources, the price is reduced, and the performance is improved, this series of advantages, Let electricity become a driving force and engine for economic and industrial growth.

Britain just missed the opportunity for this transformation, of course, it is also related to the first industrial ** Britain is too deep, any new **, are from the end, the original stronger, or the development of more in-depth, often suffered from greater resistance, many British factories, but also use decades ago machine, for no other reason, unwilling or replacement costs are higher, but for a new factory, a poor and white enterprise, if you want to paint a new chapter, relatively speaking, It's relatively easy.

Truss's plan is a bigger step than what Yang Yuanzhao saw before, the previous plan, the annual power generation capacity, the generator set of about 4 million kilowatt hours, has been modified by Truss, especially the parallel connection of 6 generator sets, among them, there are more than 100 technical breakthroughs alone, under the leadership of Truss, engineers and scientists work closely together to make the power generation of stable dìng reach 40,000 horsepower, if this is a warship, he is enough to drive any strong ship, including battleships.

Of course, in the case of not using a steam turbine, just a reciprocating steam engine, such a linkage generator set cannot be installed on the battleship at all, it is too heavy and too big, which does not meet the thrust-to-weight ratio of the battleship, but on the power plant, this is no problem at all, a unit can even reach a width of 40 meters by 40 meters, it is this constantly increasing volume, regardless of the use of the ship, Truss has made drastic improvements to the generator set, and some special components have been strengthened in some wayand, eventually, this huge unit.

With a total power of 40,000 horsepower, the daily power generation capacity will reach about 70,000 kWh after the conversion of the Guò generator, and on this basis, he designed an amazing plan that includes 50 power plants, and even a series of high-voltage transmission and substation facilities for it, the daily power generation capacity will reach an astonishing 3.5 million kWh, and the annual power generation capacity will exceed 1 billion kWh.

This is a huge number, this number, even in the current China, or even in a few decades from now, may not be able to reach, Yang Yuanzhao seems to remember a number, I don't know whether it was during the Anti-Japanese War or before the liberation, China's total power generation capacity, will not exceed 1.44 million kWh, there is no industry driven by electricity, at most with some light bulbs and the like.

But for Europe and the United States, it is already yesterday's yellow flower, from the second industrial horn sounded, the installed power capacity of kilowatts gradually climbed, and even a new high, electricity has become after steel, another important indicator on behalf of the country's strength, represented by 100 million, from 10 billion, to 100 billion, and even to trillions, one by one, rapid growth.

For Yang Yuanzhao, temporarily 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity is enough, most of Baotou's industry is driven by steam engines, and most of them belong to light industry, therefore, even if he is electrified, it can't consume so much electricity, the reason why so much construction is to take precautions, the convenience of electricity, a certain amount of dù, for the city, for the industry, are a very good choice.

The daily power generation capacity of 70,000 kWh units, in later generations, is equivalent to a maximum of 3,000 kilowatts of generating units, even if 50 are connected in parallel, it is only equivalent to 150,000 kilowatts of installed capacity, compared with the power generation of millions in the future, it is simply too bad, but in this era, in this China, it is the first time in the world.

Large-scale power plants with an installed capacity of 3,000 kilowatts and an annual power generation of more than 20 million kilowatts are in the process of construction, and a large number of earthworks and infrastructure are slowly filled into it. But that was in the case of destructive development, Yang Yuanzhao recalled some things in later generations, for large-scale power plants to carry out a lot of design, and strive to reduce its pollution to the minimum, large-scale, intensive, collective, this is the solution, when a unit, with 10, or even 100 units, concentrated together, to deal with the pollution of a single input, will reduce a range of acceptable,

China's sky is still green mountains and green waters, there is no black river, there is no so-called sandstorm, for the sake of this piece of blue sky, Yang Yuanzhao must be able to hug him. The construction of large-scale power plants, and is a group of power plants, in a not too big direction, densely distributed about 50 large-scale power plants, the scale of each power plant is not too large, 3000 kilowatts, in later generations, I am afraid that all of these add up, may not have a large power plant to the big, but what era is this, is the beginning of the 20th century, a stage when electricity has just started, in this stage, the total installed capacity of 150,000 kilowatts of power plants, is already the world's relatively large power plant, In China, it is second to none, and his construction will change the electricity environment of the entire western region, laying a good opportunity for the next power generation and application.

When the results were put in front of Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao reacted almost without hesitation, this is the guarantee of future energy, and even in the case that others do not see the good or bad, he will not hesitate to invest, the initial capital of 2 million US dollars, including the follow-up support of up to 12 million US dollars in the future, which can be said to be another unprecedented construction after the plan of the steel plant, and even the supporting various production transformers, electrical components and even wires and cables, The factories for circuit switches are also within the scope of the plan.

Once this plan is finally established, Baotou will not only have a power generation capacity of more than 1 billion kWh, but also have the design and manufacturing capacity of 500 kW to 3,000 kWh generating units, which can be said to be extremely advanced units in China and even in the world. R1152
