It is through this purely manual means to produce, in which every step can not be wrong, and manual is precisely the easiest place to make mistakes, because people are always inferior to machines, and a power station, which involves hundreds of thousands of parts, so many parts, as long as there is a mistake, it may lead to the entire project halfway, and even a huge crisis, so the new pressure on Dürr is very great, if it succeeds this time, then everything is easy to say, but if it fails, even if it is Shuhan, It will also be difficult to raise so much money for Duerxin to build another power station in a short period of time.

In order to build such a power station, Shu Han used up almost all his savings, and at the same time invested about half of the funds in Huajin City, in addition, there are a large number of human debts, in order to borrow iron, copper, carbon and other metals, Shu Han almost negotiated with most of the families to obtain the fast passage of these resources, if he came again, Shu Han would never be able to do this.

In the entire power station, in addition to Shu Han's 40% shares, Du Erxin and his team accounted for about 20% of the shares with technology, and the remaining 40% was given to the Skywalkers who were willing to follow Shu Han to relocate, Lin Bida, Zhang Ruoming, Yang Yi, Liu Yangkai, Zhao Liangsan, etc., so for the power station, it is not just Shu Han's business, 20 involves the face of the entire Huajin City superstructure, strength and so on.

It is precisely because of this that Du Erxin's pressure will be so great, since the start of the project, he has almost lived on the construction site and never left, Zhao Qingtian gave him several physical examinations, warning him not to work so hard, to start resting appropriately, in this regard, Du Erxin made a look of obedience on the surface, but in fact, it is still his own way, this is not that he ignores Zhao Qingtian, but the work of things, there is no way to let him rest.

Although there are many departments responsible for the whole project, the most critical and core technologies and precautions need to be personally guided by Du Erxin, which makes him inseparable from the power station at all, Shu Han has no choice but to send two doctors to keep an eye on Du Erxin 24 hours a day to ensure that his body will not collapse and can receive treatment in time.

After all, in today's Black Iron City, there is only one person who can really be regarded as an electric power expert, and as for his apprentices, it still takes time to grow, because of this, Du Erxin must not have an accident, otherwise Black Iron City's power plan will be cut in half halfway, and the development of electricity is the best way for Black Iron City to fight against the Holy Alliance.

Today's Holy Alliance is in the era of the first industrial revolution, and the same is true of Black Iron City, the difference in strength between the two sides is not obvious, although Black Iron City has mastered more advanced artillery, but this kind of cannon is very difficult to handle, and it is also inconvenient, not to mention modern artillery, that is, there is still a big gap in World War II, so the gap between the two sides in strength is not obvious.

If you want to defeat the opponent in the case of no superiority in numbers and territorial area, historical experience tells Shu Han that there are only two things to rely on, one is that the enemy changes within itself, just like the Soviet Union, under the circumstances that no one expected, it collapsed and destroyed itself, and the second is to turn the enemy into a lamb to the slaughter through scientific and technological suppression, these are the only two methods, the first of which is now Liu Sanyi is doing, and the second is more suitable for Shu Han to complete.

And if you want to improve your scientific and technological capabilities, so as to improve your industrial production capacity, and replace the steam engine with electricity, this is an inevitable thing, which is why Shu Han is so urgent, according to what you learned from Yangcheng, the Holy Alliance is a huge alliance federation that has risen in the last two years, and at the beginning of the development stage, it is naturally focused on the expansion of territory, but soon, the other party will integrate internal resources, and with the other party's population of more than two million, more than 40,000 square kilometers of land, There will inevitably be industrial elements such as carbon, iron and copper, and when the time comes, it will inevitably enter the era of the second industrial revolution by virtue of the other party's population advantage and resource advantage.

At this point, Shu Han is very oppressive, the other party cannot always rely on weapons to plunder and conquer, and even so, they also need more advanced weapons and equipment, and in this piece of enemy land, it must be like the Black Iron City, there are a large number of relics from modern society, these things are put together, it is possible to have the prototype of a power station, and when the time comes, with those thousands of engineers and technicians, it is very possible to build a power station, and it is precisely because of this, Shu Han would also be so eager to ask Dur Xin to speed up the process, because the drawings he gave were actually not too advantageous in the face of the powerful strength of the Holy Alliance, at most they had some foresight.

Shu Han knows very well that the key to the second industrial revolution is electricity, so he doesn't need to think, when he has the ability to develop and build, he will build a power station as soon as possible, and the people of the Holy Alliance, because of the disconnection of science and technology, do not know what kind of impact electricity has on the whole world, they may also argue, electricity or steam engine which is better, this is also Shu Han's opportunity, although the other party's scientific research strength is stronger than that of Black Iron City, But for the future development of science and technology is confused, and Shu Han can put all the resources into the right field, which is clearly aware of the role of history, but this lead is uncertain, because Shu Han is not sure, the other party will always be obsessed with the improvement of the steam engine, and do not make other breakthroughs, there is an element of gambling, and Shu Han has never believed in these, he believes that the other party is very likely to understand in the process of research, so as to study the power station, as long as the enemy notices this, then the catastrophe of the Black Iron City will inevitably come, because no matter how dangerous the terrain is, when the technology is ahead of an era, it will form a crush, and this is what Shu Han is worried about, for this reason, although he is worried about the new failure of Dür, but also hopes that he can complete the construction of this scientific tower faster.

For this reason, not to mention that Du Erxin is under a lot of pressure, even Shu Han himself is also under great pressure, and he is afraid that after this failure, he will not be able to explain, and the Black Iron City may also be crushed by the Holy Alliance in all directions, so after the city establishes a foundation, Shu Han will put a lot of manpower, workers, and resources into the power plant Now half a year has passed, and the entire factory has almost completed the construction, and the power plant made in strict accordance with the drawings is almost exactly the same as the power plant seen by modern Shu Han, with a high chimney, The outer closed water vapor pipe holding box, the whole facility gives Shuhan a sense of security. I love eBooks

Because his shape is almost the same as a modern thermal power station, which is also the reason why Shu Han is at ease, if Dürr's new building is completely different from the thermal power station in his impression, then Shu Han has no confidence in his heart, when the construction is completed, Shu Han asked Dürrxin to do several all-round inspections to ensure that the entire building will not have any problems.

At the same time, it takes time to connect the thermal power station and the coal mine along the road, if the thermal power station is really started, then the coal can only not be stopped, otherwise there will be no energy to burn, which is not only a waste of energy for the thermal power station, but also will greatly reduce the service life of the thermal power station, so it is necessary to ensure the supply of coal, for this reason, it is necessary to build a special road to transport coal to the power plant, because there is no car, Shuhan can only rely on cattle and horses to complete this step, It's definitely very difficult.

Originally, Shu Han wanted to simply build a railway, compared to a car, the train is simpler, after all, his size is big enough, even if it is no problem to stuff a steam engine, but unfortunately, the manpower on his hand is limited, and more importantly, the steel production is too low, if you want to build train tracks, the steel required will be an astronomical amount, and now that the war is imminent, all resources, especially steel and ammunition resources, are prioritized to supply the front line, Shu Han wants to build a railway, which is obviously impossible.

For this reason, Shu Han can only mobilize cattle and horses to complete the transportation of coal, so Shu Han has set up a coal mine transportation force of 800 people, with a total of more than 1,400 cattle and horses to be responsible for transportation, which can ensure that the power plant can get about five tons of coal every day, which is not much, but it can barely make the entire Huajin City use electricity.

After all, there are no large-scale household appliances in this era, most people only have a light bulb at home, so this little electricity can still be supplied, and the power plant can also supply some factories for electrification transformation to change the production speed of Iliron City, which is more important for Shuhan.

The reason why electricity can replace steam power, one of the very important reasons is convenient control, in modern society, the processing of machine tools is often very precise, often a millimeter error can not happen, and because of this, it is necessary to ensure that there is a stable supply of pushing force, and compared to the roughness of steam power, electricity is undoubtedly easier to control, and it is precisely because of this that after human beings enter the age of electricity, the level of control of the machine will be improved to a level, This makes it easier for them to operate complex machines and produce better products.

Shuhan built a thermal power station for this advanced productivity, not just for residents to use light bulbs, which is not meaningful to Shuhan, the use of electricity, far more diverse than others imagine, for this reason, Shuhan is willing to invest so many resources.

And after two months of inspection, Du Erxin finally reported to Shu Han that it could be turned on for experiments, Shu Han chose to believe Du Erxin, under Du Erxin's suggestion, the firing ceremony of the power station was selected three days later, on this day, the ordinary people of the entire Huajin City did not know what this day meant for Huajin City, but for Shu Han, as well as the senior management of Huajin City, they all knew very well that the thermal power station would be started today, While some people may be able to understand what the skillful use of electricity means to humans, even so, it's still a big deal, and at least they can increase the number of light bulbs in their homes from one to five, or ten, or a hundred.

Shu Han, on the other hand, stayed in his office, anxiously awaiting a new call from Dür. As time passed, Shu Han couldn't do it in his position, he quickly got up and walked to the window, standing here, he could not see the chimney that was more than thirty meters long not far away, here, except that the height of the wall was level with the chimney, the buildings around the entire building were not as tall as him, it was simply a landmark building, but in the city, people could not see the chimney, because the wall blocked the entire power station from the outside, but as long as he smoked, the people in the city could see, Shu Han stared at the sky, praying in his heart for the white smoke.

At this time, he was incomparably looking forward to the polluted white smoke, and in Shu Han's prayer, the white smoke floated up layer by layer, from a little to a large piece, and a huge smoke gushed out from the chimney, Shu Han knew that Duerxin had become a new one, and at this time, the phone bell finally rang, Shu Han was very excited to walk to the phone and pick it up, only to hear Duerxin say in a loud voice: "Report to you, Huajin City Thermal Power Station Project is a complete success." ”

"Okay, you've worked hard, you've worked hard." Shu Han said three good words in succession, looking at the chimney in the distance, the smile on Shu Han's face couldn't stop revealing, he immediately wrote to Liu Sanyi on the front line and Yang Wangdi in the Black Iron City, telling them that this exciting major breakthrough, the use of thermal power stations, will completely change the energy pattern of the Black Iron City, directly affect the production capacity of the Black Iron City, and the world has finally been pushed forward by itself.

With such a mood, Shu Han was very excited to send the letter out, and then took a few people to the thermal power station outside the suburbs, at this time Du Erxin had also rushed over from his headquarters, everyone gathered here, it has become a sea of joy, Shu Han also celebrated with them, this night, Shu Han was rarely drunk, when he returned home, he was already lying on the bed, he didn't know, Fu Erlan complained about it, but Shu Han was happy, and woke up the next day, He immediately summoned a few engineers he had recruited to prepare for a new machine tool production transformation for the gunpowder production line in the Black Iron City.
