Chapter 151: Baotou No. 1

A technology, or a machine, to increase its effect, requires a lot of effort, details, various sub-projects, and even excellent workers, are all important aspects of it, but overall, in terms of machine qì, the biggest, and also the strongest improvement, is undoubtedly the progress in terms of power.

In the past few hundred years, the biggest change in the field of machine and industry is the industry, which has swept the whole world, about science, about the industry, from the earliest industry, is based on the improvement of power, from the steam engine to the first industry, to the second industry with electricity as the main energy mode, I am afraid that only when the third industry is reached, the main energy has not been improved, but in microelectronics and materials science and technology, of course, In essence, it is a fundamental transformation and improvement of productive forces.

What is the era now, in 1908, the 20th century has just taken a step, the second industrial ** in many industrial countries are only the prototype of the basis, the power has been greatly improved, from the mainstream 120-150 horsepower or so steam engine, suddenly increased to 1020 horsepower, the power, a full increase of 7 times, the overall effect of the improvement, and even the improvement of the spinning machine is amazing.

Strong power, can drive more spindles, faster speed, this is undoubtedly a huge improvement in the efficiency of this machine, when this general trend is improved to a certain extent, other aspects, are the end, the overall improvement will be extremely obvious.

With the help of the all-in-one machine, Yang Yuanzhao can easily complete the adjustment work of a machine, from the basic structure to the materials used, any possible problems will be solved in practice, this is not, only one night's work, Yang Yuanzhao designed a new spinning machine, the speed has reached more than 5 times the previous one, which is the best effect after stable operation, but the format, at least 4 times that of the previous one, the work efficiency of a machine is definitely more than 20 times that of the previous one, But how much improvement can be made, but also depends on the actual use of the effect, a machine qì, how many skilled workers can take care of, these need to be gradually proficient, the output of a single spindle, there is no doubt, will reach an amazing value of 2 packs per year.

In the all-in-one machine, Yang Yuanzhao, who had been busy all night, showed a smile, a slightly weird-looking machine, and it was formed, Yang Yuanzhao was only at the mechanical level, and the machine was manufactured, considering more about the operation and efficiency of the machine itself, without considering the practicality, let alone aesthetics, fortunately, this machine can already run smoothly, and after connecting to the steam engine, it will also make the power of the steam engine transfer here more smoothly.

Looking at the roaring, non-stop cotton ingot, Yang Yuanzhao's mouth showed a hint of a smile, and said: "You are the real yàn No. 1, let's call you Baotou No. 1 first!" ”

In this way, the prototype of the famous Baotou series machine, quietly born in the all-in-one machine, which opened the beginning of the era of China's machine, countless years later, there are countless scholars, when studying the miracle of Baotou, will put Baotou No. 1, listed as the most important, but also the most iconic machine qì, although it was completed to withdraw, only 2 months, and then was replaced by the subsequent model, but the meaning he represents, is irreplaceable by any other machine.

His mind was full of the improvement plan of Baotou No. 1, but he didn't finally start, Yang Yuanzhao didn't know when, so he fell asleep in exhaustion, and the sky in Baotou slowly brightened.

The next day, a large number of things were transported out of the warehouse, which Yang Yuanzhao put in the warehouse last night, and had been decomposed, not to restore the overall image, and organized more than a dozen fitters, these people were also regarded as reserves in the previous months, they joined the Baoken company, there was no suitable job, temporarily helping in the cement factory, or responsible for the maintenance of equipment in other factories, the latter is almost difficult, these equipment that Yang Yuanzhao has improved and produced in many ways, and there are few problems.

This time, the work of the assembly machine Q� used them again, and the fitters, with the help of the young workers, packed the test machine QÌ one by one, and loaded it into the car in order, and in a group of people, there was one more blonde guy.

The person who came was none other than York, Yang Yuanzhao had high hopes for York, not to mention anything else, the York experience made Yang Yuanzhao feel that it was worth the money to spend a lot of money to take York away from Germany, York is not a scientist, it is impossible to engage in research in a certain aspect, but York has a rich experience.

Flipping through York's resume, one by one, 40-year-old York, has worked as a carpenter, a mechanic, an engine worker, a train driver, and even a ship, although he is only a marine mechanic, but this rich experience is amazing, Yang Yuanzhao after cooperating with Li Mingsheng, clearly see a point, many of his views, his later experience, may not need researchers and scientists, they have their own persistence and philosophy, it may take a relatively long time to change them.

On the contrary, people like Li Mingsheng, who have strong practical experience, are easy to combine experience from subtle changes to produce the final effect, which is more conducive to the improvement and promotion of technology.

Engineers are not scientists, they don't have such a deep theoretical foundation, maybe they only know so they don't know, this can be said to be the biggest weakness in scientific research, but for Yang Yuanzhao, this is exactly the most suitable for him, he knows the development of a qiē, he even knows the development direction of the next 100 years, as long as there is his guidance, in terms of science and technology, there is no bottleneck at all, not to mention, there is also an all-in-one machine such an anti-heaven artifact, which can be barrier-free, above the atomic level, Combined into a variety of machines qì.

In this case, drawing inferences from one another, people who will ask questions, adhere to their ideals and even ideas, it is better to follow his requirements, do not discount the completion of the person, such a person among scientists, it is almost impossible, unless it is mediocre, rather than this, it is better to choose some senior, have more experience and practical experience of engineers, in this way, may not be conducive to the development of science, but China's current situation, is it possible to talk about the development of science, the foundation is weak, there are not even a few real scientists, it is better to do this, Increase the scientific and technological heritage of Baotou and lay a good foundation for future talents.

York stayed outside the warehouse, he was a little depressed recently, the soap factory was running well, a large number of chemical workers, plus some technicians, they perfectly solved most of the problems in the trial production, if it wasn't for the new workers, above the language communication and the actual level, there were problems, so that the output has not been able to go up, but these are basically other people's business, others are busy with their feet do not touch the ground, as a mechanical engineer, but he can't intervene.

You know, York in the previous work, can be said to be the most jack-of-all-trades role, proficient in machinery, cut can work in various states, leisure days, may be happy for others, but for York, who has been busy in various jobs since adulthood, it is torment, yes, York is a kind of person who can't live without work, which is also the fundamental reason why he has changed so many jobs for so many years, sometimes, it's not that he is incompetent for work, he is completely idle, this time he came to China, It's also for novelty and work.

Fortunately, the boss didn't let him wait long, and when he went to work today, he received a notice that the boss asked him to go to the warehouse today.

Less than a month after coming, York still knows the importance of the warehouse, any machine about Baotou, any transformation, even some basic raw materials, all come from the warehouse, on the first day of the establishment of the soap factory, York knew that this soap factory, is a second-hand equipment in Germany, is the equipment that has begun to be eliminated, Yang Yuanzhao also mentioned, will be this equipment will be transformed, this is a bit idle for a month, York is thinking about this problem, chemical synthesis and hydrolysis, he is not familiar, not many ideas, However, in terms of machinery and manufacturing, he has a lot of ideas, such as speeding up the production of soap, increasing the speed of molds, and adding three or even four of the same molds at a time to increase the speed.

There are many methods, there are almost a dozen such ideas, in York's opinion, his own may come in handy, maybe he can greatly increase the output of the chemical plant, but when he really arrived at the warehouse, he found that Yang Yuanzhao's purpose for finding him was not for the work of the chemical factory, but for another machine.

This machine has been disassembled and wrapped separately, but on the machine that is still encapsulated, York clearly sees that this is a textile machine, to be exact, a spinning machine.

Industry, from the beginning of the rise of the United Kingdom, in the countries of the great powers, has been basically completed, but the beginning of the industry, and the most important indicators, is definitely the textile industry, take Britain as an example, the first to complete the industry, with this huge productivity, the owner of the world's strongest battleship, but the most profitable, an important symbol of strength, is actually the textile industry.

It can be said that people have to wear clothes, food, clothing, shelter and transportation, it can be said that it is the basic element of human survival, Britain has a vast colony, with the idea of Britain and the world's powers, the colonies are just raw material production areas and commodity dumping places, machines, munitions, equipment, they can't afford it, but clothes always have to be worn, just take China's annual imports of cotton cloth, imported 300 million horses from Britain, you can know, the colony with a large population, how many markets, Britain can support this powerful navy, On the one hand, it is the raw materials brought by the extensive colonies, and on the other hand, it is not the contribution of the textile industry.

The world's major powers, many countries that have risen, the textile industry occupies a considerable share, Britain is so, the United States is so, and even Japan soon after, the same, without World War I, Japan's textile industry, silk industry to make money, how can Japan from a debtor country, a leap to a creditor country, the real leap to the world power, relying on the huge benefits of the textile industry, completed the process of industrialization, and gradually gained military advantages.

It is precisely because of the importance of the textile industry that countless scientists have invested in this, and under the existing conditions, this improvement has reached an extreme, and if there is no big change, there will be no big improvement.

Of course, York also knows that like those three-acid and two-alkali equipment, Baotou also imported a 120,000-spindle textile machine from Germany, which was dismantled from the Munich Cotton Textile General Factory across the wall from the machinery company where he worked, and there is a considerable distance from the first-class equipment in Germany now, but he York is not a top scientist, and he has a deep understanding of cotton textiles.

With apprehension, he saw Yang Yuanzhao, Yang Yuanzhao didn't say anything, and directly asked York to follow, and he had already loaded and packed the things and transported them to a room in the research institute.

The day before yesterday, when he received a telegram from Harpy, he knew that the ship had arrived safely in Japan, and it was estimated that it would rest in Japan for a few days, and in a few days, it would arrive in Tianjin, and then follow Tianjin and the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway that was about to be completed, and then come to Baotou together along Tianjin and the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, which was about to be completed. This is the largest introduction of talents and technology, and Yang Yuanzhao's previous efforts have been in vain, and many research institutes and factories have been built with high standards and strictness.

The institute is very large, except for the research room that has been specially left, there are still a lot of vacant seats, and where they go, there are more than a dozen female textile workers, among whom there are even two foreigners.

To be exact, they are Germans, most of the workers recruited in Germany are single, adventures in foreign lands come for money, one person is fine, there is no need to let the family follow, but there are exceptions, among them there are 12 workers with their families, most of them are housewives, but there are also workers who have been workers, these two are two of them, they are working in the Munich cotton textile factory where the equipment was removed, Yang Yuanzhao also happened to see the family information, and then he noticed.

The commissioning of the soap factory made Yang Yuanzhao see that the strict rules and regulations have brought great changes in all aspects, so no matter what the strength and level of these two people are, they will be involved in the management of the cotton textile factory, and it is the main management, assisting Liu Shu to do a good job in the formulation of rules and regulations, which is conducive to standardizing the entire cotton mill in the first time.

York is also very familiar with most of the workers, greeted the two German women, and his eyes fell on the machine that was still wrapped, this machine was huge, and it took a dozen carriages, and now only a part of it was unloaded, where were a dozen fitters busy, it seemed that according to the drawings, preparing to assemble the machine, York's heart moved, walked up, picked up a pliers, and also assembled it.
