[89] Dual-use

Ding Baozhen saw that Yao Fan did not refute, a little surprised, and seemed a little disappointed. He ordered his subordinates to bring a horse to Yao Fan, and the group rushed to the mouth of the Yellow River in the north of the city.

On the way to Luokou, under the blue sky and white clouds is a piece of farmland one after another, surrounded by mulberry willows on both sides of the road, if you walk this road alone, you will probably be very quiet.

"Yao Fan, do you know why I chose Luokou Construction Machinery Bureau?" Ding Baozhen sat on his bamboo mat roof and asked with a fan in his hand.

"There is a coal mine in Luokou, and the terrain is also high, so it is probably not easy to be flooded; 8o miles to the east is Zhangqiu County, where there are many small coal mines that have been exploited for a long time; 12o miles in the southwest, there is Changshan Coal Mine in Pingyin County; These two regions have always been large coal producers, supplying Jinan and Shandong to all parts of the country. Yao Fan replied.

"It was Xu Jianyin who sued you, right?" Ding Baozhen guessed.

Yao Fan acquiesced, he thought to himself, "Lao Ding, you are not stupid, but why can't you predict the future of the machine?" As soon as you leave Shandong, there will be people who immediately make up their minds to stop the office or compressor the bureau, so how long do you think those officials will maintain such a silver-burning industry? ”

"At present, the Japanese are rampant in attacking, extending their black hands to the Ryukyus, Taiwan, and North Korea, and the Qing Dynasty blindly tolerates compromises, and the younger generations are embarrassed to see it, and only hope that they can hurry up and build this machine to produce domestic rifles and bullets for the big people, so that the Great Qing Dynasty can straighten their waists." Yao Fan was loyal to Ding Baozhen.

"Okay, good, you have such enthusiasm and want to serve the court, this is good, Yao Fan, you can do it well, you have a great future in the future." Ding Baozhen said hello twice, but he was reluctant to mention the current predicament of the Qing Kingdom.

When he arrived at Luokou, Ding Baozhen walked like a fly after getting off the sedan car, and took Yao Fan into the machine.

Yao Fan explained the role of each machine to Ding Baozhen in the factory, whether it was the principle, structure, production and processing methods, and even answered some questions about how to make such a machine.

Yao Fan operated a manual lever press and said: "My lord, you see, this is a manpower machine tool produced by my overseas factory, such a manpower machine tool is very convenient, as long as the copper sheet that fits the size is placed in the mold below, just one press, the copper skin will be rolled up, you see, this interface is matched on both sides, not bad at all." ”

Ding Baozhen held the rolled copper skin in his hand and said with a smile: "This machine tool is good!" Without the power of fire and water, it is very convenient! Yao Fan, your factory is very crafty. ”

Yao Fan said: "This kind of machine tool has never been sold to foreigners, are made by their own families for their own various branches of the use, but also ask the adults to promise, do not flow these machine tools out of the hands of foreigners, if they are dismantled and opened, my family will suffer a great loss." ”

Ding Baozhen nodded, and instructed Xue Fuchen, the conference office on the side: "The machine is an important place in the country, and it must not be snooped on by outsiders, let alone let people come in to see!" If there are unprovoked people waiting to inquire outside the machine, they will all be arrested and tortured! ”

"Yes!" Xue Fuchen said.

Ding Baozhen asked a technician from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau on the side: "Gan Mingdian, you are an old technician from the Jiangnan Bureau, can you see it?" ”

The middle-aged technician named Gan Mingdian hurriedly said: "Little one, look at it, this press is indeed convenient, and it doesn't need to be driven by a steam engine, and it can roll the copper skin only by levers, which is really ingenious." ”

Ding Baozhen stroked his long hair and nodded with a smug smile.

After following Yao Fan to see all the machines, after listening to the introduction, Ding Baozhen was already happy.

"Yao Fan, you will help me install and debug the machine tool here, the sooner the better, and when the Ma Shi Ni fast gun is made, I have such a sharp weapon in the Qing Dynasty, do you still worry about the infestation of Japanese slaves?"

Yao Fan said: "Yes, I will do my best to assist President Xu's office." ”

After shopping all morning, Ding Baozhen finally left with satisfaction.

Yao Fan also began to implement his own plan.

According to Yao Fan's plan, the most important thing is to install the small turbine motor, once the electricity is started, all the machine tools are connected to the cables, and the rest is the work of the technicians to learn the operation of the machine tools.

"Brother Xu, look at this drawing, you have to dig a pipe groove here, wrap the pipe with refractory insulation material and put it in, and then fill it with cement...... There is an iron platform on top of it, which is wrapped in cement, and the internal support structure is like this...... After the masonry is built, the motor is hoisted up, and the front, middle and back are bolted to fix, and this step is completed...... The boiler side is also as simple, first dig a pit, pour cement, then drill a deep hole, erect the boiler and fix the feet with bolts, and then cement to protect the feet...... The laying of water supply pipes and steam pipes is as follows......"

"Brother Yao, give me this drawing, I guess there is basically no problem in the future, I have sent someone to make a large hanger, and when the time comes, it will be supported behind Brother Yao's two trailers, and after the machine is hoisted, the trailer will be pushed horizontally, and no matter how heavy the equipment is, it can be moved and hoisted."

"Brother Xu, you are really a genius, this thing you designed is a gantry crane!" Yao Fan was amazed.

"Where is it, Brother Yao praised it, I saw that Mawei Shipmaster has such equipment, so I came up with it, but the door crane in Mawei is equipped with iron wheels under the iron frame, and the one I designed is all dependent on the trailer brought by Brother Yao." Xu Jianyin is very modest.

In the face of a smart person like Xu Jianyin, Yao Fan doesn't need to say too much, on the way to Jinan Mansion, he felt that Xu Jianyin had reached the average level of equipment engineers in European factories in recent years.

It is no wonder that in history, he alone helped Ding Baozhen build the Shandong Machinery Bureau, and finally assembled all the imported equipment and parts, and successfully debugged them, and put them into production.

Yao Fan began to fight his own ghost idea.

"Once this steam turbine starts working, according to his output power of 5o-6oo kilowatts, the power of the machine will not be exhausted, Brother Xu, I plan to electrify Jinan City and install electric lights in the rich households in the city, what do you think?"

"Brother Yao, do you mean the kind of arc lamp used on a big foreigner ship?"

"It's about the same, but it's much more advanced than arc light, the cost is also low, and the power consumption is also saving.

Brother Xu, you think, Lord Ding has been in power in Shandong for so long, according to the practice of the imperial court, a local official cannot live in one place for a long time to be an official, and he always has to be transferred. Will the later governors continue to supplement the treasury silver? Yao Fan is kind and seductive.

When Xu Jianyin heard this, his face was also worried.

"Brother Xu, as long as the yamen and rich families in Jinan City can be equipped with electric lights, the nature of the machine will change, and it will become a dual-use institution, and no one will be able to do without him at that time, how can he be locked up?

When the time comes, Brother Xu will make a break and ask Lord Ding to change the name of the Machine and Light Bureau to the Machine and Light Bureau, and tie the civilian and military together, and no one can do it! In addition, the electric light fee can also subsidize the investment in the manufacture of the machine, and if there are more people installing the electric light, the machine can still make a profit! ”

Listening to Yao Fan's words, Xu Jianyin's heart was moved.

"Brother Yao, what kind of electric light are you talking about? How much does it cost? Is this business really profitable? ”

"Listen to me, make money." Yao Fan patted his chest and took Xu Jianyin to see the dozen boxes of light bulbs loaded on his truck.

"Can this light up?" Although Xu Jianyin asked, when he saw these glass bulbs with uniform specifications, smooth and smooth, and bright and dazzling, he had no doubt that this unprecedented industrial product would shock him.

"This is my family's secret bright electric lamp, I am afraid that the patent will be stolen by foreigners, so it has been hidden, and this time it was used in the Qing Dynasty, in order to benefit my Chinese people first." Yao Fan stared at Xu Jianyin's eyes, feeling that he was already moved.

Sure enough, Xu Jianyin followed Yao Fan and asked: "It's ten miles away from Jinan City, how can Brother Yao send electricity?" ”

Yao Fan said: "First use the transmission transformer to raise the voltage to 33oo volts, this voltage is more suitable for short-distance power transmission within 1o kilometers, and then we bury the cable all the way over, and the cable and wire I brought this time are enough." After the power is sent to Jinan City, the voltage is lowered by a transformer, and the wire is pulled into the home for installation. ”

"It's that simple?" Xu Jianyin was a little worried.

"It's as simple as that, but let's install the equipment as much as possible." Yao Fan swore that he was authentic.

The factory building of the machine has long been built, and a large number of machines enter the factory, as long as they find land and place it. In less than five days, the boiler has been installed, and on the eighth day, the installation position of the turbine motor in the power workshop has also been completed, and the pipeline laying has also been in place, so Yao Fan and Xu Jianyin Zhang Luo started the equipment hoisting work. Three days later, the equipment hoisting and foundation installation were also completed, and after another five days, the follow-up construction was over.

As for the Luokou Coal Mine on the edge of the machine, the installation of the elevator is simpler, as long as the steel components with good holes are put down, the bolts and nuts are fixed and installed, and then reinforced with cement.

The steam from the coal-fired boiler began to drive a back-pressure steam turbine, and the power was sent through a transformer to drive the electrical equipment in the production plant.

The first thing that caught people's attention was not the electric elevator in the coal mine, but the incandescent lamps installed by Yao Fan in the workshop and office of the machine bureau.

"Oh my god! It's so bright! If you don't know this, you will think that there is a fire in the house when you look outside! Xue Fuchen stood under the electric light, eager to put his face on the light bulb.

The workers of the machine bureau became a group of excited animals, one after another around the light bulbs in the factory, staring at them and refusing to leave. It wasn't until someone showed up that looking at the light bulb for a long time would wrap their eyes around the flowers, and then they turned their faces.

"Hey! This foreigner's thing is really strange, it doesn't burn oil, it doesn't burn wax, it only uses a wire to pull out the coal fire in the furnace and pour it into this glass ball! One technician guessed.

"You know what, it's called an electric light! It's electricity-burning! The steam engine of our machine is the world's first-class foreign goods, swallowing the hot steam burned by the boiler, it can make electricity in the stomach, so Yao Dongjia and Xu Zongban used their magic powers, connected the wires, and led out the electric light! The other technician, though still speaking absurdly, was clearly closer to the truth.
