Section 713 It is indeed the north
Why is the north so concerning, because Li Sidi said that the Yang Zi Group would solve this matter in its own way, and at the same time announced that he would go to the north to participate in the oil and gas pipeline ventilation ceremony between Soviet Russia and China, which can't help but remind people of the time when Yang Chao used his own way to confront the entire Soviet Russia.

On the contrary, it is the oil and gas pipeline itself, and there are far fewer people who care.
This oil and gas pipeline was started when Yang Chao returned to China to preside over the overall economic situation, and basically started construction at the same time as the Bohai Tunnel and the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
Of course, it is not without difficulties, at least Soviet Russia is a big difficulty, Yang Chao can build this section of the pipeline in China after returning to China, but there is no movement on the Soviet side of Russia, because in the case of the Chinese garrison in Tyuming, Stalin resolutely does not agree to start construction, no matter how promising the Chinese government describes this siege, how much oil can be imported every year, and how much foreign exchange can be brought to Soviet Russia, Stalin also resolutely disagrees.
The evaluation of outside public opinion is that Stalin could not let go of his personal grudge with Yang Chao, and it was not until Yang Chao visited Soviet Russia before the Berlin Olympics and reached an agreement on the withdrawal of troops that Soviet Russia began to decide to build the pipeline at the other end.
Therefore, Yang Chao did not withdraw his troops in vain, but in exchange for the construction of oil and gas pipelines by Soviet Russia to transport oil and gas to China.
As for the construction technology of oil and gas pipelines, it is not too difficult, the oil pipeline Rockefeller built the oil pipeline 60 years ago, the technology has long been mature, Yang Zi Laboratory after years of research and technical reserves, but also solved the construction and protection technology under the condition of groundbreaking, the design has long been completed, if it were not for the previous Russian Empire exclusion of China, and the subsequent invasion of Soviet Russia, this line would have been built a long time ago.
As early as 7 years ago in 31 years, the Americans repaired the gas pipeline from Texas to Chicago, with a total length of 1,600 kilometers, and the first long-distance transcontinental gas pipeline in the United States was repaired from Indiana to Chicago in 1891, so it can be said that the technology of the gas pipeline is also very mature.
The only difficulty was on the side of the Soviet Russians, when the Chinese garrison retreated, Stalin immediately started the oil and gas pipeline project, originally according to the plan of the Chinese engineers, it would take them at least five years or so to be able to build this pipeline, but Stalin sent 300,000 prisoners to repair the pipeline, and it took two and a half years to build the pipeline.
Of course, Chinese technicians, and even American technicians, were also heavily involved, and the Americans welded at least half and half of the welds in the Siberian section, and supplied a lot of pipes for the section.
Chinese engineers and technicians are responsible for the general construction and the provision of anti-freezing technology and groundbreaking construction technology, and of course, the general construction plan is also provided by Chinese technicians, because they have already started to design before the economic crisis and have the most experience.
According to China's construction plan, civil work can only be carried out in summer and autumn every year, with a maximum construction time of seven or eight months per year, and a winter break of at least four months, but under the executive order of the Soviet Russian bureaucracy, Soviet Russian workers not only do not stop in winter and summer, but also work in two or three shifts day and night, roasting and breaking ground with fire in winter, and lighting construction with generators at night. As a result, the construction in the second half of 36 years was completed before the end of 39.
This oil pipeline is very important, the diameter of the pipe exceeds the 600 mm that is common in the Americans, reaching 1000 mm, and the number of oil transported per year can reach 500 million barrels, and because of the first use of large-diameter pipelines, the design margin is very large, and after the technology matures, increase the pressure of the oil pump, and there is a lot of possibility of improvement.
But natural gas pipelines, Yang Chao placed greater hopes, the reason is that Siemens is not very important to the gas turbine generator set technology, Yang Chao asked Siemens to develop this technology, planning to develop distributed energy system, the so-called distributed energy system, is a very hot concept in later generations, that is, not through long-distance transmission, but directly in the local power generation.
The reason why there is long-distance transmission is because the early power plants are nothing more than thermal power and hydropower, hydropower is determined according to the river, so it must be transmitted by high voltage to send to other places, and although thermal power is more flexible, if it is dispersed, the cost of transporting coal is too high, and long-distance transmission is more cost-effective.
However, with the popularization of natural gas pipelines, the transportation cost of natural gas is even less than the consumption of power transmission, and European countries, especially Germany, are the most developed, using natural gas power plants to generate electricity locally in various places, which greatly saves transmission losses and makes the power supply more stable.
Yang Chao did this for another reason, to provide energy to the Mongolian Plateau, obviously on the sparsely populated Mongolian Plateau, it is impossible to pull a high-voltage electricity past, so the loss is too large, and the loss on the road may be more than the consumption of sparsely populated Mongolian cities, so it can only build factories on the spot, so natural gas has more advantages than coal.
At the same time, the natural gas from Siberia to China, after all, the Mongolian Plateau makes it have a convenient natural gas interface, and the conditions for power generation with natural gas are unique.
Although the power of Siemens' gas turbine is not large, two power plants are enough to meet the electricity consumption of cities and industries like Kulun.
But apart from Yang Chao, there are not many countries that are optimistic about the prospects of natural gas power generation, otherwise they would not let Switzerland be at the forefront, and the Americans must have developed it a long time ago.
Now Yang Chao has taken the lead and seized the commanding heights of technology, just waiting for this pipeline to be repaired.
Li Sidi went to Kulen in early November, visited the power plant, and expressed his admiration and beauty for the technology of the power plant.
Now the power plant can only use gas tanks to transport natural gas, so in addition to the necessary tests, it is generally not turned on, just wait for the gas pipeline to ventilate, but the gas pipeline has also completed the section test, is currently carrying out the full section of the gas test, if it can be successful, Li Sidi said, to build such a power plant in every city on the Mongolian plateau.
Siemens, which had not paid much attention to gas turbine power generation, only began to pay attention to it at this time, but they found that the entire team that developed the steam turbine had jumped ship, which made them embarrassed and passive.
Then Li Sidi visited the oil and gas pipelines.
The oil and gas pipelines started in Surgut and continued to pass through Novosibirsk in the form of elevated pipelines, and then changed to above-ground trestle bridges, leaving passages where necessary for trains and animals. It went all the way south to Altay in China, and then to the east and south across the Mongolian Plateau to North China.
Among them there are several terminals, Surgut counts one, oil and gas from the Tyumen oil and gas field area, converge here, and then pressurized transportation, after passing through two large pressurized stations in Tomsk and Novosibirsk, converge in Barnaul, this is the second terminus, enter the territory of China, Altay is the first terminus, and then along the southern foothills of the Altai Mountains all the way to Baotou, this is the second terminus, from here south to Shanxi, Shaanxi, north to Kulen, east to Beijing is the second terminus, from here to the south to Shandong, Delivered to the terminal Dongying.
Obviously, more than two-thirds of the length of pipelines in China is one of the reasons why China is slow to build, with pipelines totaling more than 6,000 kilometers and only more than 1,000 kilometers long in Siberia.
Li Sidi praised this as an engineering miracle, as great as the Bohai Tunnel.
Later, in addition to visiting the transmission test, he also had frequent contacts with Soviet and Russian officials to discuss the oil trade after the completion of the oil and gas pipeline.
However, there are obviously more interpretations from the outside world, and they believe that this move is related to Li Sidi's claim to solve the problem through the Yang Zi Consortium's own ability, and it is obvious that the Yang Zi Consortium is conspiring with Soviet Russia.
Soviet Russia, a mysterious country, has indeed given Chinese and Western newspapers enough room for reverie, and some people have even suggested that the Yang Zi consortium must want to follow Yang Chao's example and recruit mercenaries to fight all over the world, but when they can recruit enough land forces, and now they want to break through the naval blockade of the United States, can they still recruit a navy?
With this question, the time came to mid-November, and the oil and gas transmission experiments were very successful. But no one from the outside world has moved, let alone the successful grid connection of the natural gas power plant in Coulomb.
Everyone is looking forward to how the Yang Zi Consortium will deal with the US naval blockade, but what makes them puzzled and anxious is that the Yang Zi Consortium has not announced any concrete and feasible plans so far, which makes people suspect that they are just bluffing.
The Yang Zi consortium never moved, and soon the attention of world public opinion turned to other directions, because this year was extremely unpeaceful.
The Spanish Civil War continues, and there is no end in sight, the Spanish government, supported by a large number of counterfeit dollar bills, has much better material conditions than in history, and has always been holding the war through smuggling, and the war situation in Madrid and the Basque Country has always been anxious, making people unable to see the deadline for the end of the war.
At the beginning of the year, by secretly supporting the Austrian coup, he annexed Austria in the first half of the year under the appeasement of Britain and France, and in the second half of the year, he created tensions in the Sudetenland in Slovakia and put forward territorial claims to this area, and finally annexed the Sudetenland in August under the appeasement of Britain and France.
But Adolf clearly did not intend to stop, and still created public opinion, and criticized Slovakia for its unfriendly behavior towards Germany at home, which made Europe nervous, for fear that war would once again befall this land devastated by the First World War.
It was at this time that North Korea, on the edge of East Asia, announced that it would pay a friendly visit to Mexico and conduct military exchanges, which once again attracted the world's attention to the East. (To be continued.) )
