Chapter 749: Power Cutout

readx;

After opening a secret metal research institute, Qusay went to the artillery production plant in northern Baghdad, where another world-class genius was working hard for him

Dr. Boole, a man who had no ambition in the Western world, is now working diligently in the Middle East that he never thought of, helping Iraq's artillery industry to grow from scratch, from small to large. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info≦≧

Originally, it was just an artillery repair plant, and with the support of Qusay, led by Dr. Boole, Iraq's own artillery production began here.

Qusay promised to help Dr. Boole realize his dream of a super-artillery, but before that, Dr. Boole needed to develop Iraq's own artillery industry and help Iraq realize the design of its own high-powered tank gun.

Now, a long time has passed, and Qusay is curious to see how far Dr. Boole's work has progressed.

By the time I arrived at the artillery plant, it was almost dark, and in the winter in Baghdad, the temperature had dropped to freezing.

However, Dr. Bull's enthusiasm was high, and when Qusay met Dr. Bull, he was wearing an ordinary shirt and working in the newly established building of the artillery factory. ≦≧

"Dr. Bull, you've done a great job." Qusay said.

When Kusai finished speaking, the interpreter immediately translated the words to Dr. Boole.

However, Dr. Bull ignored him and continued to work at his workstation, where he was staring at the large piece of equipment.

Seeing the cold field, the translator next to him was a little angry. Wanted to come up and pull him, but. Qusay even stopped.

You know, scientists are a little weird. And Dr. Buhl's temper is even more eccentric, otherwise, why would he have offended so many Americans in the first place, and finally got the support and funding of his own research project from the top level of the United States.

Although Qusay is president, but. As soon as Dr. Bull's temper comes up, he still doesn't pee on you, and as president, you must be generous. (Read the novel to the leaves ~ yo co)

Quite a while. Dr. Bull turned his head and said, "President Qusay, you're here?" ”

"yes, Dr. Bull, how is our project going?"

"It's bad, it's bad. ≦≧" Dr. Bull shook his head.

Knowing that Dr. Bull didn't care about himself, there must be a reason, and Cusai looked at Dr. Bull who turned his head again, and knew that this old guy was almost sixty years old. It's like a six-year-old child, and he's in a mood.

This is also easy to solve, prescribe the right medicine.

"What's going on?" Qusai said: "Dr. Bull, you are the best great scientist we have invited from Iraq, we are very supportive of your work, your work is related to the future of our Iraqi Army, it is very important, what is happening now?" ”

"Important?" Dr. Bull said, "Since I'm the most important thing here, then. Why can't I get the electricity I need on time? ”

Hearing this, Qusay was also annoyed: "What? Our important artillery factories can't even supply electricity? How can this be! Someone, call me the director of the Baghdad Electricity Authority at once, and I will ask him to explain it to Dr. Bull in person. ≦≧”

After hearing this, Dr. Bull was finally happy: "President Qusay, as long as the power problem can be solved, our production line can be put into production, and Iraq will have its own complete 155mm howitzer like South Africa, which will become the army's main fire suppression weapon." ”

Before coming to Iraq, Dr. Bull's company exported advanced military technology such as GC-45 155mm howitzers to South Africa in order to raise enough funds, and helped South Africa establish a complete production line of 155mm guns, but at this time, South Africa was a country under an arms embargo imposed by the United Nations because of the apartheid system, and in an accident, Dr. Bull's company was found to have links with South Africa, and he was imprisoned and his company went bankrupt. [w. dots]

However, South Africa has since become one of the few producers of advanced 155-mm howitzers in the world.

Now, Dr. Bull is very sure that this line can produce the same advanced artillery, as long as the problem of power shortage is solved. When he came, President Qusay had agreed to fully support his work, but now, even the basic electricity supply is insufficient, how can Dr. Boole not be angry.

Now that President Qusay agreed, Dr. Boole also changed his attitude, after all, he still has a good impression of President Qusay. ≦≧

"President Qusay, let me show you around the facilities here." Dr. Bull said.

Kusai nodded, this matter is put on himself, it must not be happy, even if he doesn't give enough electricity, the factory will not be able to produce, this is definitely not good, if the director of the power bureau does not give himself a suitable explanation, he will definitely replace him!

Qusay's position is very firm, his government must be clean, absolutely not allow any ** phenomenon to happen, do not invite guests to dinner, do not give gifts, do not give electricity, if this is the case, then, it is possible for him to send the director of electricity to prison and kill chickens to show monkeys.

"President Qusay, this large-scale equipment is the electroslag redissolving equipment that we imported from Austria, and the steel used to make the barrel is the strongest of all steels, so we need to further smelt on the basis of our own alloy steel, and this equipment is used." Dr. Bull said.

In later generations, all artillery and advanced workpieces were used in electroslag relysis technology, the main purpose of which was to purify metals and obtain ingots with uniform and dense clean tissues. ≦≧ steel remelted by electroslag, high purity, low sulfur content, less non-metallic inclusions, smooth ingot surface, clean and uniform density, uniform metallographic structure and chemical composition. The as-cast mechanical properties of electroslag steel can reach or exceed the indicators of forgings of the same steel type, and it is an excellent steel.

Iraq wants to produce its own artillery, and it is absolutely impossible to do without such a thing, and when the Austrian Steyr heavy truck was introduced, it introduced a little metal production equipment, among which there was this new production process that was just becoming popular at this time.

In order to achieve the technology of producing artillery, in addition to the equipment, the process of production is also very important, Dr. Bull has mastered all the processes, from the steel ingot to the final barrel, all the processes, under the command of Dr. Bull, on the right track.

"In addition to the barrel, artillery is a key aspect of the artillery in order to exert its power, especially the powerful propellant. Therefore, on the side where we need an artillery plant, we will set up a new ammunition production plant to produce new types of ammunition such as the long-range full-bore bottom discharge ammunition that we have developed. Dr. Bull continued.

Hearing Dr. Bull's words, Qusay was very happy, he said that he was not bad at all, if you want to exert your power, the cannonball is more important! In particular, the propellant of the cannonball, the various recipes are kept secret, and Dr. Boole has a deep knowledge in this regard.

While he was speaking, the secretary reported that the director of the Electricity Bureau had arrived.

Hearing that the president had personally summoned him and went to the artillery factory, the director of the Electric Power Bureau did not dare to delay and immediately drove here overnight.

And, in his heart, very anxious, summoned him to that place, he must have known why. He shuddered at the thought that President Qusay might be angry.

Qusay did not meet him alone, but asked him in front of Dr. Bull: "I have already issued a special document to ensure the production of the artillery factory, and as the head of the Electricity Department in Baghdad, you should have received the document as well, right?" ”

Dr. Bull looked at the director of the power bureau from the sidelines, and when I went to look for him, I didn't see him with such an expression, that stinky virtue, so that Dr. Bull really wanted to quarrel with him, but the two sides couldn't quarrel, Dr. Bull didn't know Arabic, and the interpreter would never help the interpreter quarrel.

"Yes, President Qusay, but you have also issued other documents to ensure the production of tank factories, automobile factories and other factories, and you have also issued documents to ensure the power supply of the city of Baghdad, and this artillery plant, the power supply required is quite huge, therefore, we can only separate the time period, in a week, we can only ensure the sufficient power supply here for half a day, and the electricity consumption here is almost equal to one-tenth of our electricity supply in the city of Baghdad."

What the? Kusai couldn't believe it, this artillery factory, the cost of electricity is certain, but it's not so exaggerated, right?

Electroslag redissolution is a method of using the resistive heat generated when the current passes through the slag as a heat source for smelting, which is heated by electricity and heated to the extent that the steel ingot can be melted, which is quite power-consuming. In addition to electroslag redissolvation, there are other equipment, such as large hydraulic presses, which consume a lot of electricity to start. Iraq was originally only a pure oil exporter, and power generation only met civilian needs, but now, a large number of new factories have been built around Baghdad, industrial projects have increased, supporting equipment has not kept up, and the problem of power shortage has gradually become serious.

"It looks like we need a new power plant." Qusay said.

"The nuclear power plant that we imported from the Soviet Union is currently under construction, but it will be at least two years before it is completed." "So, we have a shortage of electricity right now, and this can only be the case in the short term," said the director of the Electricity Bureau. ”

Hearing the words of the translator, Dr. Bull was a little upset, there was a shortage of electricity, which he had never expected in the West.

"In the future, during the five-hour period from 12 a.m. to 5 a.m. every day, power rationing will be carried out in non-key areas of Baghdad urban area, which is the peak period of electricity consumption for most residents, and this power will be used to temporarily ensure the energy supply in our areas. In addition to the nuclear power plant, we also need to build another thermal power plant in Kazimein, and our future projects will have more and more electricity. Qusay said.

"Yes," replied the Director of Electricity.

"Dr. Bull, we here, I'm afraid we need to change to night shifts in the near future, we can only meet the electricity demand here at night for the time being, and we will change this situation as soon as possible." Qusay said.

"No problem, as long as there's electricity." Dr. Bull readily agreed.
