[67] Make a wedding dress

Yao Fan said to Xu Jianyin: "According to my opinion, let's go to the power workshop!" ”

"I heard from my family's business partner in the United States, Mr. Lawrence, that next year, in 1876, when the United States holds the World Exposition in Philadelphia, it is planned to use a 6oo-ton Corliss steam engine to drive the motor, which will transmit electricity to all the venues through guò cables, and then drive thousands of machines through the electric motors in each stadium! When the time comes, US President Grant and King Pedro II of Brazil will be invited to activate this master power source! ”

Xu Jianyin was envious when he heard this, and asked, "Brother Yao! The 6oo ton Corliss steam engine weighs 12o million catties? ”

"Exactly."

"What a big deal! Brother Yao, do you know how much horsepower that behemoth has? ”

"14oo horsepower!"

"Ah......" Xu Jianyin cried out.

"Brother Yao...... Our factory doesn't need that much horsepower...... Brother Yao, please see, this is the list I intend to purchase. ”

As he spoke, Xu Jianyin hurriedly opened the drawings of his planning from the table, and said to Yao Fan against the purchase list:

"Brother Yao, you see, here in the workshop, I plan to put a belt lathe, just use the universal model, after replacing the components, you can drill or bore...... I calculated that behind the lathe, a 5-horsepower steam engine could be brought here...... You see, this is the chimney, and here I plan to open a small door, and when the cinders come out, they can be pushed out of the workshop...... The plan here is to put a hand-cranked jib lathe, which can be connected to the belt, and also driven by a small steam engine......"

After being shocked by Yao Fan's inside information, Xu Jianyin has regarded Yao Fan as an expert and told his plans and plans.

Yao Fan looked at this plan, and it was exactly the same as the plan of the Shandong Machinery Bureau in history that he had seen by checking the information.

"Lao Xu." Yao Fantao is almost.

"Brother Yao said it bluntly." Xu Jianyin was flattered and agreed.

"Brother Xu, you must know that the electricity generated by using a steam engine to drive a motor can be stored in a zài voltaic battery. But since 1873, at the Austrian Wie#Na World Exposition, scientists inadvertently connected the voltaic battery to the motor by mistake, and the electricity in the battery can actually drive the motor, making the motor an electric motor, and the world has begun to move from the quagmire of steam power to the smooth road of electrification.

In the future, not to mention small steam engine-driven lathes, even large-scale steam engine-driven power workshops will become obsolete, and the world's trend will shift to the electric age.

At this time, the factory you designed did not even have a power workshop, but was directly driven by a small steam engine in the workshop, which was too far behind the world.

Have you ever thought about how bad the working environment in the workshop will be in this way? The Qing Dynasty will use machine tools to use the workers is small, the level is also poor, and then not with a good working environment and excellent equipment, how to ensure product quality? ”

Yao Fan's words made Xu Jianyin also sigh.

"Alas, Brother Yao, I can't help it, I haven't seen the motor you said!

Taking a step back, even if you were to adopt the design of a self-contained power shop, it would cost a lot of money. Although Lord Ding fully supported the construction of the Shandong Machinery Bureau, he could only allocate 94ooo taels of treasury silver, 728ooo taels of grain treasury silver, and 2oooo taels of Linqing tariff silver, totaling 1868oo taels of silver.

With this money, just to set up a coal mine and carry out civil construction of the plant, these two items will cost half, and the remaining less than 100,000 taels of silver, how can you afford to build a power workshop? I'm afraid that the price of a high-horsepower steam engine can't be taken without tens of thousands of taels of silver, right?

Besides, I don't understand the transmission design of the power shop! I've never even seen a large-scale factory building by foreigners! As for how to go on the roof of the workshop? How is the belt attached? I've never seen any of this! I used to be in the Anqing Arsenal, and I saw all the configurations of one machine and one bed. ”

The bitterness and helplessness in Xu Jianyin's heart touched Yao Fan's heart. How he hoped that this China, even the China represented by such an ignorant and backward Qing Dynasty, would be able to establish advanced factories and mines and raise its eyebrows in the world.

"Brother Xu, how much silver can you take out to purchase the machine?" Yao Fan asked.

"One hundred thousand...... No! 110,000 taels! Xu Jianyin gritted his teeth and said.

"Good! I will purchase it for you according to 110,000 taels, and you only need to pay a deposit of 50,000 taels first, and the rest will be wrapped up in me. ”

In Yao Fan's future plan, he put the Shandong Jiqì Bureau in the position of a wedding dress, but is it Yao Fan who made a wedding dress for the Qing Kingdom, or did the Qing Kingdom marry Yao Fan?

"Brother Xu, let me tell you about my plan." As he spoke, Yao Fan took out a pen, pulled over a piece of white paper on the table and drew it.

"You see, here, a thermal power plant will be built next to the coal mine...... Install a boiler...... Drive a steam engine...... Drive a DC motor...... Because the steam engine drives the motor, there will be unstable current, and there will be ups and downs of about a dozen amperes...... Here a rectifier and voltage regulator circuit are added...... Of course, I can also equip you with a motor with an excitation system to directly regulate the voltage...... Well, forget it, this is too advanced...... Plug in the cable and lead over...... After entering the plant, the machine drive machine ......"

"Brother Yao! Can you really buy so much equipment for 110,000 taels of silver? According to your plan, all the machine tools in the factory are electric? Xu Jianyin was surprised.

Yao Fan is willing to say that he is completely operating this Shandong Machinery Bureau project as a power station, and once he gets into trouble in the future, as long as he wins this power station, it will be like a tiger with wings.

Historically, in 1882, there was a power plant in Shanghai, which was a British enterprise called Dianguang Company. When the company started, it was just a horizontal tube boiler, plus a 16-horsepower steam engine, followed by a DC motor with 8oo revolutions per minute, which could light up 4o arc lamps.

"Well, I can't guarantee that the machine tools in the factory are all electric, and some are manual, but I guarantee that the quality is excellent.

For example, a foot-operated punch, which is used to press the iron cap behind the bullet, for you, the foot pedal will do...... I'll equip you with a manual desktop lever press, with a mold, use human power to press the lever, and roll the copper bullet casing should be fine...... A hand-cranked drilling machine is added to drill teeth, tap holes, and handle the barrel...... The quality of the steel in the Great Qing Kingdom is poor, and although it is easy to drill, you have to be careful not to ......crack the steel bar," Yao Fan muttered.

"Brother Yao! Brother Yao! You are all hand-cranked and pedaling, so what's the use of building a power plant? Xu Jianyin listened stupidly.

"Uh...... I will equip you with an electrically driven manual grinder, an electrically driven manual turret milling machine, and an electrically driven manual boring machine, which are electric, and the manual operation only needs to control the degree of goodness. Of course, it is inevitable that low-level workers will have wavy patterns in processing, but it should be better if you spray cold water to cool down...... You can figure out the heat treatment process of the workpiece before processing, and without this step, the processing will be difficult...... Heat treatment...... This is a trade secret, so let's not mention it...... Copper-plated ...... on the inner wall of the barrel This is too advanced, and the powers have not adopted it at present, so don't think about it yet...... Selection of rifling...... You still continue to copy Henri Martini's inner seven corners, it's actually not difficult to process, a total of less than half a circle of broken things, just control the process and time of the knife......"

Xu Jianyin heard it in a fog, but from the words in Yao Fan's words, he could deeply perceive that this person was simply a professional in machining!

"Brother Yao! Are these really only 110,000 taels of silver? Xu Jianyin asked in astonishment.

"If it's not enough, I'll post it! As long as you can help Lord Ding set up the factory, silver is a bird! Yao Fan swore that he was authentic.

In fact, the price of the manpower machine tool that Yao Fan just quoted is only a few thousand yuan, and the electric one is only a little over 10,000 yuan, even if you add other steam engines, motors, and boiler equipment, where is the 110,000 silver used! Ya's heart is too dark.
