"The result?" Seeing that Xu Zhouyang's eyebrows couldn't hide his smugness, Situ Nan didn't understand him yet, so he waited for Situ Nan to ask him, and then said it proudly.

"The result, of course, is that we are one step ahead and have built the world's first 100-megawatt steam turbine."

Xu Zhouyang said proudly that for an engineer who is obsessed with power research, there is nothing more satisfying for him than to achieve such achievements in the field of steam turbines.

"It's a pity that its performance is not stable enough, and it is still a long way from commercial use, at least two or three years!" Xu Zhouyang said in a slightly regretful tone.

"It's going to be even longer." Xu Zhouyang added in his heart.

"Well, it's good news, Cummins Power has established a leading position in the power field and gained more share in the power equipment market, which is really the envy of General Electric and Westinghouse."

Situ Nan smiled, affirmed the achievements of Xu Zhouyang and Cummins Power, looked at Xu Zhouyang's somewhat regretful expression, and thought that it was a pity that this guy could not continue to be in the United States in China!

"Although the 100-megawatt steam turbine cannot catch up with the domestic thermal power projects for the time being, the 60-megawatt steam turbine is enough." Situ Nan smiled again.

Xu Zhouyang nodded, he has his own group of engineers, and he is confident that he will fully realize the localization of 60 megawatt steam turbines within 5 years.

In recent years, great progress has been made in domestic machinery manufacturing, and the localization of some large-scale equipment has been realized. Both public and private, Xu Zhouyang is the most suitable candidate for this project.

"Hehe, many backbones of the Cummins Power room were dug up by me, and it didn't take long. We can then continue our research in the United States. It is not a dream to believe that the localization of 100-megawatt steam turbines is not a dream. ”

Xu Zhouyang said confidently. He added, "Of course, if there are enough funds." ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zhouyang looked at Situ Nan expectantly.

"Now Meihua Electric has invested most of its funds in the construction of power plants, and even 60 megawatts of steam turbines have not been digested, how can there be resources for larger steam turbine research and development, and everyone is waiting for the real power plant - so don't look at me, the financial problems of China Railway Company are enough for me to bleed." Go north to develop Henan, or Shanxi coal mines. It also requires a lot of money. ”

Situ Nan reminded, "You should do your best to install the two 60-megawatt steam turbines that you bought from the United States!"

In five years, the Shanghai power plant will generate 500 million kilowatt hours, not to mention the 3 billion kilowatt hours of power generation in Shanghai.

In a few days, the factory in the Baoshan Industrial Zone will be completed, and if the Baoshan power plant has not been built, the factory's motor will not be able to start, and the loss will be quite large. At that time, you will be embarrassed to ask for more resources from within the consortium. ”

Xu Zhouyang nodded, his face became more stern, although he was very confident that the Baoshan Power Plant would build the largest power station in Asia. The design power reaches 500 megawatts, which is equivalent to half of New York's electricity consumption. That's the plan for the future.

The first thing Xu Zhouyang did was to install the first phase of two 60-megawatt steam turbines to meet the electricity demand of the Baoshan Industrial Zone, and then gradually expand to the whole of Shanghai.

This is not an easy task, but fortunately, the main construction project of the power station has been completed, and Xu Zhouyang has to command the technical team to install the steam turbine.

"The first one, within a month, is guaranteed to be installed." Xu Zhouyang assured.

Situ Nan believes that Xu Zhouyang does what he says, and the first steam turbine of Pacific Tile Power Company was successfully installed and debugged under the guidance of Xu Zhouyang.

"It's a shame that we didn't get the first fire in the power plant." Situ Nan said regretfully. He shouldn't be in Shanghai in a month, I'm afraid I'll miss this event.

"By the way, there is a question to be said, in order to realize the localization of steam turbines, in addition to manufacturing technology, the source of materials cannot be ignored.

The performance of the blades of the steam turbine requires high strength and high temperature corrosion resistance, and nickel-chromium alloy is the best material, but I looked through the company's report and found almost no domestic reports on nickel-chromium minerals. On the contrary, there are more tungsten ores. ”

Xu Zhouyang frowned and said.

Nickel?

Chromium?

Situ Nan is more familiar with tungsten, because Guangdong and Jiangxi are rich in tungsten ore, and in the cooperation between Meihua and German companies, he has mastered a certain tungsten alloy technology, and he does not know too much about other materials, after all, he is not a metallurgical engineer.

After thinking for a while, he said to Xu Zhouyang: "I remember that there are a lot of nickel mines in Nanhua, and the steel factories there produce nickel alloys, and as for chromium, it seems to be quite rare, so I don't know the specifics." Your communication with Meihua Steel should have results. ”

"That's good!" Xu Zhouyang said with a smile. As soon as Situ Nan reminded him, he knew what to do, China has a lot of land and resources, Nanhua is rich in resources, and Meihua Iron and Steel Company must have something Xu Zhouyang is looking forward to.

In the cooperation with the industrial giants of the United States and Germany, the metallurgical and mechanical technology of the United States and China Iron and Steel Company has been developed extraordinarily, and he Xu Zhouyang is the founder and core figure of Cummins Power Real Office, both in technical research and company management, he is a world-class figure.

The two walked and chatted and came to the new site of Jiangnan Shipyard.

Situ Nan pointed to the construction site in front of him and said to Xu Zhouyang: "Jiangnan Shipyard, if you have the energy, why don't you also leave it to you to clean up?" ”

After speaking, he looked at Xu Zhouyang with expectant eyes.

"Okay!" Xu Zhouyang said happily, thinking: Although the name of Jiangnan Shipyard is loud, it has long been dilapidated, and it has long been surpassed by Guangzhou Longxue Shipyard and Wuhan Shipyard.

Situ Nan had the intention of revitalizing Shanghai's shipbuilding industry, moved the Jiangnan Shipyard from Gaochang Temple to Baoshan Xingang Industrial Zone, and carved a huge piece of land by the sea, but he didn't have time to keep an eye on Shanghai, so he needed a strong and trustworthy person to sit in Shanghai.

Xu Zhouyang can manage Cummins Power Company, a subsidiary of Cummins Electric, which is the largest power equipment supplier in the United States, and many engines of Cummins aircraft, Bethlehem shipbuilding, and Chrysler automobiles come from Cummins Power. Situ Nan trusted Xu Zhouyang's ability to manage the Jiangnan Shipyard.

"Shipbuilding is a hassle, almost all industries are involved, and my focus is on power plant construction projects. So don't expect too much. The lack of skilled workers alone is enough for a headache! ”

Xu Zhouyang complained.

That's a problem. Situ Nan didn't have a good way. Talent is not paper money, the motive qì is printed and brushed out, the entire Meihua consortium and even the whole of China and South China are short of technical talents, Chinese civilization thousands of years of splendid culture has taught a large number of scholars but has not trained a few craftsmen, so the Zhi Gong Party government and the Meihua consortium have to be as inclined to science and engineering as possible in the direction of education, even so, without the accumulation of ten years and eight years, it is impossible to train a group of solid skilled workers.

In China and South China, industrialization has taken less than ten years, so it is not yet the harvest season in terms of talent training......

"Looks like it's the Germans and the Chinese middle school students behind their butts again!" Xu Zhouyang sighed lightly. Throughout the twenties, there was no other part of the world that brought in as many cheap and practical German engineers as China and South China – and fortunately, the Germans had lost all their pants in the last world gamble!

"I didn't count on you. The main work of the revival of Jiangnan Shipyard still depends on Wuhan Industrial Group, and I hope that Meihua Electric and Wuhan Industrial Group will cooperate happily. “

Situ Nan said with a smile.

"I won't talk about Meihua Electric (including Meihua Motor), Meihua Chemical (including Meihua Pharmaceutical), Meihua Iron and Steel (including Wuhan Industrial Group), Meihua Mining (including Pingxiang Coal Mine), Meihua Rubber, Meihua Trading, Meihua Real Estate, and Meihua Petroleum and Meihua Bank, I think you will have to give a good explanation to Ms. Laura when you return to the United States, right?"

Xu Zhouyang made fun of Situ Nandao, his movements were exaggerated, imitating Laura's tone, "Oh my God, billions of dollars of assets have been transferred to the East by you." Handed over to China's Song (Song M Ling), Nanhua's Wu (Wu Manli), He (He Xiangu)? “

"Confess? What is there to explain! My will has long been written and placed in the safe of William Financial Holdings on William Avenue in Manhattan, and the largest beneficiary is the William Foundation. One is the U.S.-China Foundation. “

Situ Nan shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression.

The most powerful man in the world, he thinks, was Stalin, and a few years later the mustachioed Hitler, (and a certain facet appeared Mao).

And the richest people were himself and Rockefeller. Morgan is half of it, because his personal stake in Morgan Bank is not high, but his appeal on Wall Street is amazing, and he can raise a hundred dollars for his own use with one dollar, which is terrifying.

"Today's Romance of the Three Kingdoms on Wall Street, the Morgan family, the Rockefeller family, me and the Mellon family, are generally on the same footing, and the fight is very fierce.

The William-Mellon camp of the Rockefeller camp, consisting of Citigroup and Chase Bank, challenged Morgan Bank, Robles Securities, Wells Fargo, and Mellon Bank, and claimed to be one in the financial industry, resisting the westward expansion of the financial forces in New York, and Pittsburgh, Chicago, and Los Angeles were the territory of the Mellon family and me. Robles Securities, though based in New York, does not have as much strained ties with other banks as Rockefeller and Morgan.

It's different in the oil industry, and although I have a good relationship with Rockefeller, the competition between Chevron and Occidental Petroleum and Mobil and Exxon is much fiercer. I have to thank the Anti-Monopoly Law, Rockefeller is old, and he is not as ruthless as before, otherwise there will be such a bloody storm. In this oil industry, Morgan is supporting the Western system against the standard system.

At the same time, in the electrical and automotive industries, William's Cummins Electric and Chrysler Motors are fighting with General Motors and General Motors, and the shadow of the struggle between Bethlehem Steel and the American National Steel is naturally indispensable behind this. I shifted my investment to Asia, reduced my investment in the United States, and reduced my stakes, but I couldn't stand up to the competition of my companies, and when I returned to the United States, I had the confidence to stand in front of Rockefeller and Morgan.

The only thing that makes me feel weak is facing Laura. Situ Nan sighed, he was too far away from home.

"Hmm. You're not as good as Rockefeller or Morgan's playboy in this regard. Xu Zhouyang shook his head and smiled. Of course, he is also familiar with Situ Nan, so he is qualified to talk about the internal affairs of the family with Situ Nan.

ended the conversation with Xu Zhouyang, and another news caught Situ Nan off guard.

Because--Song Mling is pregnant!

After receiving the telegram, Situ Nan was stunned all of a sudden, this is not scientific! (To be continued......)
