Chapter 2 and Chapter 7 The Brood?!
This is an unprecedentedly gigantic project, and it has no name, because no name can describe it perfectly; It is also unprecedented, gathering one-tenth of the wealth of a country like China, and in the past few months, in the union of the whole country, more than eighty percent of the country's top engineering construction personnel have been mobilized; The related equipment and so on have gathered the vast majority of the forces that can be mobilized in the country.
It can be said that this is a super project that has blocked the power of the whole country; Even with the current strength of Huaxia, there is no spare energy to build a second such project. Because, more than half of the country's top factories, their core workers, core equipment, etc., have been demolished; After about 7 months of struggle, the "hard" resources of society are not money, but the visible materials that support the operation of society, and the consumption is extremely huge. In a short period of time, it is impossible for Huaxia to gather more materials.
This is a hidden cost that must be considered in modern engineering construction, especially in space competition, and its own cost is often beyond the cost of the apparent project; The extraction of social resources will temporarily plunge the whole society into a fragile pathology - for example, the construction of high-speed rail has to be stopped, and some factories have to be stopped because of the transfer of top workers! It will take three, five, or even ten years for these hard resources of society to accumulate again!
Competition between countries, the essence of competition is not the economy, but fists! The fist is that hard resource; And the economy can only be the garment on the surface of hard resources; A person can have a lot of clothes, but only one body.
Such a super project is actually a blood draw for the country!
Zhang Jingyuan sat in a helicopter and inspected the project with personnel from the master company, the Eastern Bloc, and the state. Of course, it's just a check, and the real inspection, or acceptance, is done by professional personnel.
The most majestic and eye-catching thing at the scene belongs to the nuclear power plant. Covering an area of up to 18 square kilometers, in order to meet the power generation capacity of 90 million kilowatt-hours per hour, there are a total of 10 nuclear islands on the site, which stretch for a distance of five kilometers in a tight package, in a remote location close to the sea. For safety reasons, the design of these nuclear islands is extremely bloated, with a height of less than 150 meters and a diameter of 200 meters.
In addition, the generator set is also extremely spectacular, through guò advanced technology, one by one series of steam turbines and generators of the unit up to 150 meters long, the plant up to 200 meters long; A factory building is lined up behind the nuclear island, in addition to a large number of high-temperature pipeline links, there are also a large number of well-designed protective walls, even if the nuclear island explodes, will try to ensure that the workers will not be directly impacted here.
For this nuclear power plant, the state directly dispatched up to 3,000 top skilled workers from all over the country, as well as 100 top experts. And now, this nuclear power plant, which can be called the world's largest factory, is under intense testing. Today, is the day of the completion of the project, all the projects have to go through strict inspection, it is expected that 25-30 days later, the whole project will be started for the first time, from then on here will be a never-sleeping industrial area in China.
The new nuclear power plant uses a large number of heat recovery units and does not have a cooling water unit; Only when the technology is really not up to the mark, the air-cooled island technology is adopted, and the entire nuclear power plant has almost zero pollution.
Farther away, there are a large number of smelters with electromagnetic technology, no traditional coke ovens, no traditional exhaust chimneys, only large and small bulges - which look a little cartoonish. Unlike other parts, the steel plant has been constantly commissioning since it was built, and in these storage tanks, all the storage is carbon dioxide, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen, water, etc. Thanks to electromagnetic technology, these gases can be converted in a closed way to smelt various metals.
For example, carbon dioxide or water is treated with electromagnetic and other effects to become carbon monoxide or hydrogen with reducing ability; Oxygen will be stored and used as an accelerant, welding material, etc.; Even some of the oxygen is purified and used as an artificial gas. Carbon monoxide or hydrogen can reduce metals from metal ores and absorb oxygen ions in them.
Today's steel mills are also zero-emission, and even smelted slag is used to pave roads, burn bricks, etc.
Farther afield, the port of Qindao has been divided into a separate area, and has been greatly expanded, with the dockyard extending up to three kilometres into the ocean, and now an iron ore ship from Australia is unloading; A sturdy belt that transports ore directly to the steel mill for smelting.
From the higher sky, this is an irregular, 100-kilometer-long steel jungle, this is a real steel continent, and it is also a product of the madness of this era. Under the sun, some places are shining, but more places give people a kind of low grandeur and heavy steel because of anti-rust paint and other reasons, which consumes almost the resources of the whole country, but also supports a piece of the sky in China.
This steel jungle seems to be a steel backbone, far exceeding the speed and scale of foreign construction of super projects - ground engineering, which has allowed Huaxia to temporarily leave its opponents behind. But everyone believes that Huaxia will not stop, the road ahead is still very long, and Huaxia will further climb to the top, and finally leave the world behind, fall to the ground, and never get up again!
As the pearl of today's China, the achievements of the master company have also attracted the attention of the world. Even in the eyes of most people, the current super project is still in the name of a master company.
An engineer in charge of this matter slowly explained next to Zhang Jingyuan:
"Mr. Zhang, this is an unprecedented project, and it is also a landmark project of human civilization!" The engineer was a little excited, "You know what, this can't be called engineering anymore, it should be called a brood!" The kind of brood that only appears in science fiction! Except for chips, which are still foreign accidents, almost everything else can be produced in this super factory.
All the factories are powered by the current nuclear power plants; All raw materials, as long as they are metallic materials, are intensively smelted in the smelter group here, and the goal of almost zero emissions has been achieved. All waste gases, wastewater, slag, etc., can be recycled.
The metal produced is transported to different factories within a hundred miles along the way, and the waste is then transported back to the smelter group via the guò conveyor belt. The processed metals, etc., are then assembled through guò smart logistics technology, and the finished products are output through each port.
Finished products include various parts, forming machine tools, production lines, construction machinery, operational/industrial machinery, agricultural machinery, energy machinery, offshore equipment, propeller aircraft with relatively simple structure, helicopters, most aerospace parts, etc., can be produced.
Even some companies on the production line can purchase some parts from outside to produce automobiles, white goods, various instruments and meters, and so on.
It can be said that the current super project should be named the brood! And once it is inspected, its production capacity is enough to meet the mid-to-high-end demand of Huaxia. ”
The rumbling sound of the helicopter can't hide people's enthusiasm, not only Zhang Jingyuan, but also engineers on every plane to explain.
Looking at the endless steel jungle under his feet, the president suddenly smiled: Huaxia has finally risen!
