Lin Yuan hurriedly said: "I'm too anxious, I didn't make it clear, I mean, use the engine of the aircraft to generate electricity, and the engine of the aircraft is a gas turbine!" ”

Qiu Xian echoed: "That's right, in our time, many thermal power plants use gas turbines, which are modified from aircraft engines. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Yes, on the plane, the high-temperature gas pushes the turbine to rotate and then sprays out the plane, so as to propel the plane forward, if the engine of the aircraft is converted into a generator, add a free turbine after the turbine, let the gas drive the free turbine to rotate, and the free turbine drives the generator to rotate, and it can generate electricity." ”

Qiu Xian said: "This kind of modification technology is not the scope of our research, let's still design the generator." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Don't worry, I will find relevant experts for engine modification." ”

Lin Yuan then contacted the Beijing ship, and Liao Ming, an aero engine expert on the ship, soon came to the industrial zone.

The engine used by the J-25 carrier-based aircraft on the Beijing ship is China's latest turbofan-30 engine, aero engine, which has always been known as the pearl in the crown of industry, is a concentrated embodiment of a country's comprehensive national strength and industrial strength, and an excellent aero engine is not so much designed as to be changed, so the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (formerly the Commission of Science, Technology and Industry for National Defense) specially assigned aero engine experts to follow the ship and record the problems of this engine at any time.

Academician Liao Ming can be regarded as a wonderful flower in the field of aero engine, aero engine is a kind of fluid machinery, its development work is divided into two main lines: one is the gas line, the study of the aero engine and gas-related parts, such as the compressor gas flow field design, combustion chamber temperature field design, etc.; The other is the line of force, which studies the structure, strength, and so on of an aero engine.

These two lines, it is already very good to be proficient in one, but Academician Liao Ming is proficient in both, so the relevant leaders assigned him to the ship, like many aero engine experts, no characteristics is the biggest characteristic of Academician Liao Ming, he is the kind of old man who can't be found in the pile.

After listening to Lin Yuan's request, Academician Liao Ming did not hesitate at all, and said with a smile: "We have done this kind of thing many times, the three major components of high-pressure compressor, combustion chamber and high-pressure turbine are collectively called the core engine of the aero engine, and the core engine of the turbofan-30 has superior performance and has a very powerful modification ability, which can be called the transformer in the aero engine!" It can't just be converted into a generator. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What else can be converted into?" ”

Liao Ming said: "It can also be converted into an engine used by warships, in our time, the turbofan-30 modified ship engine, the performance of the American LM2500 is fully surpassed, after our destroyers are installed with this engine, the maneuverability directly exceeds the king of destroyers - the American Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, if you want to build a warship in the future, we can also use it to modify, and the maneuverability is guaranteed to throw off the warships of this era three streets!" ”

Lin Yuan said: "We have to hurry up and build a warship, and the current warship really can't meet the requirements." ”

Liao Ming asked: "Although I am not an expert in related fields, I also know that a lot of equipment is needed to build warships, and it may not be too easy to get these equipment." ”

Lin Yuan said: "It's okay, I've thought about it, the matter on our side is almost handled, I'll go to the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau and get their shipyard." ”

Speaking of this, the two looked at each other and smiled, it turned out that they had unconsciously digressed, Lin Yuan asked: "How much power can be achieved with a generator converted from a turbofan-30?" ”

"According to our experience of improvement, the power can reach 4 megawatts. ”

Lin Yuan asked: "I know that the use time of the aero engine is on the order of ten to the third degree, this time is obviously not enough, is there any way to greatly extend this time?" ”

Liao Ming said: "In the process of generating electricity on the ground, there is no need for gas to have a very high temperature, so we can lower the temperature, according to our experience, reduce it by 1,000 Kelvin, and the use time can be extended to the fifth order of magnitude of ten." ”

Lin Yuan said: "We took out two engines, which are almost enough, is there any difficulty in the modification process?" ”

Liao Ming said: "There is basically no difficulty, when modifying, we need to remove the fan and outer duct, so we need to redesign the low-pressure compressor casing, intermediary casing and other components, but you can rest assured that because the improved aero engine does not need to go to the sky, so we don't need to consider the weight, we use carbon steel, or even cast iron; And the design of the power turbine, we can't build a power turbine now, but we can use the turbine of another engine instead. ”

Lin Yuan said: "We will definitely use gasoline or diesel as fuel in the future, so should the combustion chamber and nozzles also be redesigned?" ”

Liao Ming replied: "That's right, you can rest assured, we all have relevant experience, and the materials and equipment are completely sufficient!" ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "In this way, the problem of power generation is basically solved, but another problem is highlighted, that is, the problem of oil!" ”

Improved generators can use jet fuel for a short time, but later they will have to use gasoline or diesel, both of which are products of the petroleum industry, and diesel or gasoline can be obtained by heating and fractionating petroleum.

Thinking of oil, Lin Yuan's heart was excited, if you look at the history of human development from the perspective of energy, coal undoubtedly triggered the first industrial revolution, and the large-scale exploitation and utilization of oil triggered the second industrial revolution, gasoline and diesel distilled from oil, giving the internal combustion engine unprecedented power; Lubricating oil allows the various parts to run efficiently.

Petroleum is also an important source of organic chemical raw materials, and rubber made from petroleum raw materials makes it possible for automobiles to move forward rapidly; Synthetic fibers and plastics have fundamentally changed the way we eat, drink, and live...... After Lin Yuan finished arranging the affairs of the industrial zone, he returned to the governor's yamen, and when he was conceiving the oil industry, a master ran in in a panic and said, "Lord Qiyu, the big thing is not good, there is a group of British missionaries in the countryside near Mukden. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "They're right there, what are you doing in a panic?" ”

The master said, "Don't you remember the lesson plan? ”

Lin Yuan said: "The Chinese people are not murderous demons, what happened to the British in the countryside? Do the Chinese have to kill them! ”

The master said cautiously: "These foreign devils are all masters of touching porcelain, if there is something wrong, it will not be good to be ripped off by them." ”

Lin Yuan heard this and thought, "This group of people are all scared by foreign devils!" So Lin Yuan smiled nonchalantly: "What's the panic!" Isn't it a foreign devil! Do they dare to knock on the bamboo pole of the governor? ”

The master hurriedly smiled and said, "What my lord said is that you defeated the Japanese and the Russians...... my lord."

Lin Yuan knew that he was going to be flattering, and he didn't want to hear it, so he waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and meet those missionaries together." ”

When he got to the place, Lin Yuan almost laughed out loud.
