Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Power System

In Xie Tian's mind, he has always preferred these large industrial and mining enterprises, which have all kinds of machinery and materials that cannot be found in ordinary urban areas, so after hearing that most of the coal mines have their own backup power systems, Xie Tian couldn't wait to go to the coal mine not far from Li Yang's mouth to see what happened.

Early the next morning, Xie Tian took thirty or forty people and set off for a medium- and large-sized coal mine a few kilometers west of the power plant.

As soon as the convoy arrived at the gate of the coal mine, Xie Tian saw dozens of wandering zombies in the gate, these zombies found the approach of humans, one by one they looked very irritable, and even some have begun to climb the electric door, and there is no need to be polite to treat these zombies, Xie Tian gave an order, the shooting hole of the infantry chariot, and the truck carrying the soldiers behind began to shoot continuously, and the bullets put down all the zombies in front of them like cutting wheat, and then the chariot reopened the gate brutally, and went straight to the inside of the coal mine.

After several searches, I finally found the location of the generator set in a structural room next to the winch room in the coal mine!

According to what the engineer said, this is an imported generator set with a power of 500-1000 kilowatts, and the price is about hundreds of thousands, which is nothing for a coal mine with an investment of more than 100 million yuan, but the generator set and its attached air-cooling equipment have been installed in place, and the engineer does not dare to disassemble it rashly, so how to move it out has become a relatively thorny problem.

Xie Tian thought for a moment, ordered the soldiers to find a way to remove the roof, and then use a crane to lift the entire diesel generator set, loaded on the truck and transport away, although this method is a little troublesome, but for the current situation, there is no other better way, the soldiers began to use various tools to demolish the roof of the structural house little by little, in order to avoid violent demolition damage to the power generation equipment placed in the house, so the efficiency of the demolition is somewhat slow.

After more than an hour, the roof was removed, the soldier drove the crane truck to the front, the soldier tied the wire rope and repeatedly measured the data, began to lift the generator set from the roof, and then placed it on the heavy truck, after the installation, the air-cooled equipment and a large amount of diesel stored were also hoisted, these equipment are ready-made, after bringing back, they can be used on the ground.

Trucks and cranes are responsible for transporting the generator sets back and forth, Xie Tian and others continue to look for other available supplies in the coal mine, and the two small boiling water boilers in the tea furnace room are Xie Tianxiang, with this, plus the mountains of thermal coal, boiling water is much simpler, and the two small boilers can be used to boil one for drinking water and one for boiling water.

In the mechanical and electrical repair workshop on the mine, there are all kinds of equipment such as welding machines and cutting machines, with these things, the work efficiency of intercepting steel and welding can be greatly improved, and the construction of the shooting tower can be completed more quickly!

In addition, there are a large number of industrial and mining explosives in the coal mine, which naturally cannot be let go, Xie Tian also clearly remembers the great effect of those explosives when resisting the attack of Gu Siyuan's troops, and the explosives reserves here are enough for them to blow up the entire coal mine.

Work clothes, dust masks, gloves, rubber boots, cotton underwear and other labor protection supplies are also piled up, Xie Tian is also all in the bag, when others are trying their best to find food and materials to feed their stomachs, Xie Tian is more favored special equipment, the construction of safety areas, just having food is far from enough.

All the materials found in the coal mine were piled up downstairs in the general control building, and Xie Tian ordered the soldiers to tear down a row of single-story steel structure houses in the south of the power plant, and then build a new structural room behind the main control building to install the generators.

The generator set was transported to a concrete floor behind the general control building, and other soldiers began to build a steel structure house around the generator, Li Yang stood beside Xie Tian and watched the soldiers busy, and said excitedly: "Brother Xie, now my specialty is finally useful!" With electricity, I can start the monitoring system of the entire power plant, and I can also retrofit the monitoring system, so that in the main control room, I can have a full view of everything around the plant. ”

Xie Tian nodded and said, "You are studying electronic engineering, and these should not be a problem for you." After that, Xie Tian said: "By the way, Li Yang, the monitoring facilities installed in the power plant do not quite meet our needs, many monitoring equipment are monitored internally, such as parking lots, coal yards and building interiors, can some of the useless monitoring equipment be installed in useful places?" I would like to install a few of them on the cooling towers and chimneys so that we can overlook the whole industrial area. ”

"That's fine!" Li Yang said with a smile: "I have probably seen the monitoring equipment here, there are night vision monitoring, wide-angle monitoring and telephoto monitoring, these monitors are very high-end, there are electric gimbals, you can adjust the monitoring direction at will, I will remove a few telephoto monitoring in the coal yard, and install it on the cooling tower." ”

"Hmm." Xie Tian patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'll leave this matter to you." ”

Near noon, the generator set and the air cooling system are installed, the engineer checked the circuit between the general control building and the dormitory building, the lighting electricity, air conditioning electricity, monitoring equipment electricity and socket power supply lines are connected together, and then connected to the generator set, the power of the generator set can reach up to 1,000 kilowatt hours, enough to drive hundreds of household air conditioners, lighting and monitoring equipment is naturally not a problem, after the diesel engine of the generator set is running, nearly 300 people since the beginning of the end of the world, I felt modern life again.

Electric lights can be used, in response to high temperatures, air conditioning has finally played its role, computers have finally returned to people's lives, although there is no Internet, but playing stand-alone games, watching movies or something, is no problem at all.

The completion of the power system gave everyone a strong stimulant, that afternoon, no one cared about the cat enjoying the air conditioning in the room, the soldiers began to intercept the steel and weld the steel shooting tower under the leadership of Xie Xiaofei, Li Yang took a few engineers to begin to dismantle the monitoring system installed inside the power plant, and installed it in the required position, the telephoto monitoring that can adjust the distance was installed on the high cooling tower and chimney, linked to the line, you can take advantage of this to overlook the entire industrial area, although the clarity is slightly inferior, but the general situation can still be grasped clearly.

Heavy machinery such as infantry chariots, trucks, forklifts, and crane trucks consume a lot of diesel fuel itself, and now with such a set of generator sets, the consumption of diesel fuel has increased a lot at once, Xie Xiaofei said worriedly: "Brother Xie, we don't have much diesel reserves, and if we go on like this, we will run out of diesel in a few days." ”

Xie Tian waved his hand and said indifferently: "This is an industrial area, there is a coal mine next to it, the consumption of diesel fuel must be very large in normal times, there should be a large amount of diesel reserves here, we will go out to find it when we go back, in addition, there is not a railway in the coal yard?" I don't think there is a catenary on the railway line here, and the locomotive used in the railway must also be an internal combustion engine, and diesel fuel should be easy to find here. ”

Xie Xiaofei nodded and said, "There is still a locomotive parked in the coal yard, and I don't know if it can be used." ”

Xie Tian said with a smile: "It's useless for us to ask him for the locomotive, the railway network is criss-crossed, and it all depends on the turnouts to change the route, and if you don't pay attention to the route, you may fork elsewhere, and besides, no one will drive the train, but you go and see if there is any diesel in the locomotive, and get it out for me." ”
