Chapter 348: Alternating Current

readx; ps:ps: Thank you for the evaluation votes of the book friend 'Cloud Tears You Don't Understand', and the book friend 'I love LW' for the reward support! Thank you very much!

Since the eighteenth century, the European scientific community has begun to study 'electricity', from the very beginning of Polisteri and Coulomb laid the basic law of static electricity, to Faraday using the change of the magnetic field effect to show the generation of induced current, to Maxwell's discovery of the electromagnetic effect, the scientific community's understanding of electrical energy has become clearer and clearer. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info followed the scientific community and the debate between 'direct current' and 'alternating current' broke out.

The American scientist Edison invented direct current and electric lamps in 1882, so that the development and application of direct current has gradually become the mainstream, but Huo Shan understands that alternating current is the key to the second scientific and technological revolution, so after his rebirth, and the "Cheetah Special Forces" just became an army, he sent them to Europe, and Tesla, who was praised by the scientific community in later generations as one of the two greatest scientists of human history (the other one is Leonardo * Da * * Vinci), who is also the inventor of alternating current in history, was kidnapped to Taiwan and took control of himself.

Facts have proved that his step is extremely correct, this top scientist who is not known to the public in later generations, with the support of Huo Shan's abundant scientific research funds and equipment, his thinking and inspiration have been developed to the greatest extent, and Huo Jiajun has also benefited a lot from it, whether it is the research and development of radio, or the internal combustion engine, Generators and electric motors, as well as the most important hydro turbines, were all used by Tesla, and alternators capable of providing electricity for lighting and industry were developed in the Dragon's Lair in 1882. However, because the power at that time was too low, only 596kw, it could not be put into practical application at all. And Huo Shan doesn't look down on such a generator.

Therefore, after nearly two years of improvement and improvement by Tesla, the 5000kW two-phase alternator and three alternators manufactured by it have also reached the practical stage, and the success of the transformer is enough to transmit 20,000 volts of high-voltage electricity from Taipei to Kaohsiung across 320 kilometers. Moreover, the invention of the electric motor also means that alternating current has reached a time when it has been promoted on a large scale within Huo Jiajun.

However, in Huo Shan's opinion, the generator at this time was still too primitive and consumed a lot of resources. The amount of electricity generated was small, so he did not agree to the Ministry of Industry and Commerce's plan to build a large-scale power plant, and the proposal to build a hydropower plant was rejected altogether. Rather than build a bunch of machines that won't take long to become obsolete, he'd rather wait a bit. After all, the invention and application of alternating current is still a new thing, although it is destined to replace the steam engine as a new driving force for industrial development, but it will take some time for people to accept it.

But. Although the development of industrial electricity still needs to wait. However, large and small power plants that provide electricity for lighting in Huo Jiajun have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and even the Theater of the Americas Command, which is far away from the Pacific Ocean, has also benefited. However, the alternating current generator here was not transported from the distant South Seas, but was modified from a captured American DC generator, so the power is not large, and only the American Theater Command in the center of the city can use this thing.

Compared with the curiosity of his colleagues, Wu Guangzong is also more satisfied with the new gadgets developed by the Academy of Sciences, of course, he is not concerned about the role of the Academy of Sciences in promoting industrial development, but with the new type of alternating current and lighting. Even at night, he could clearly see the battle map posted on the wall. and the sand table placed in the center of the war room, no longer have to hold the oil lamp and endure the pain of smoke and fire.

"Okay, let's all come and sit down!" Wu Guangzong said after clapping his hands.

Hearing his words, everyone did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly walked to the chairs of the two factions neatly arranged on both sides of the sand table and sat down. Even people like Diao Fei who have a detached personality are extremely serious at this time, and they don't dare to make the slightest mistake.

After watching everyone sit down, Wu Guangzong's serious and sharp eyes slowly swept over everyone, "Maybe you should also guess why I transferred you back from the front line when the form was so tense, right?"

Thinking of the secret reconnaissance operation a few days ago, Diao Fei's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked in a loud voice: "Is the commander going to war?"

Hearing his words, the other senior officers in the American theater couldn't help but prick up their ears, for fear of missing a word.

Looking at the eager, curious, and inquiring looks on everyone's faces, Wu Guangzong couldn't help but smile faintly, and said without hesitation: "Yes, I have been authorized by the military headquarters, and we will launch an attack before the Americans." ”

"Commander, let's go, I've been watching those American devils unhappy for a long time, showing off their might and showing off their might to us all day long, I don't know how big a victory they have won!" Diao Fei, as the deputy commander of the American Theater of Operations and the commander of the Northern Front Corps of the Huo Family Army, although he adhered to the defense plan formulated by the General Staff of the Huo Family Army and could not take the initiative to attack the US troops stationed on the east bank of the Ohio River, but he had already held back the fire in his belly, so he couldn't help but stand up as soon as Wu Guangzong's words were finished.

"Commander, our Central Front Corps is willing to be the vanguard of the theater and undertake the main offensive mission!" The various units of the American Theater that have been holding back for almost two years, especially after adding a large amount of new equipment, can't wait to have a good competition with the Americans, so before Diao Fei finished speaking, Pang Wanchun, who is the deputy chief of staff of the American Theater and is in charge of commanding the Central Corps, couldn't help but stand up and say.

"Crazy Pang, this combat mission was the first to be opened by our Northern Front Corps, so don't fight!"

"Nonsense, I'll give it to you when you open your mouth first! If you want me to say that it is still distributed according to the strength of the corps, our middle-line corps has the largest number of troops, the best weapons and equipment, and the most powerful strength, so it is natural that our middle-line corps should undertake the main offensive task!"

Listening to their quarrel and looking at the commanders of the various divisions sitting around, Wu Guangzong, as the commander, also felt a little headache, whether it was Diao Fei or Pang Wanchun, they were the kind of rectums with outstanding military talent and a hot temper!

"Okay, don't make any noise, this battle plan has already been drawn up, and you don't have it!" Wu Guangzong slapped the table and said loudly.

Hearing this, the originally noisy voices in the war room suddenly quieted down, and the faces of Diao Fei and Pang Wanchun were full of stunned!

"How could the commander ......?"

Clapping his hands, Wen Wen stood up, "Okay, let's talk about it!" After a pause, "According to the Military Intelligence Bureau and the reconnaissance intelligence of various theaters, there has been no change in the troop configuration and weapons and equipment of the two corps of the American North Front and the Central Line, and there is nothing unusual about it, while the Southern Front Corps has increased its strength by 50,000 in the past week. According to the opinion of the army headquarters, the purpose of this war is not for us to launch an all-out attack on the Americans, but to choose a direction to bring out the hidden forces of the Americans, instead of continuing to leave such a hidden danger and threaten our two-river defense line!"

"Considering that it is already the middle of December, the weather in the north is cold, the freezing period is advanced, the defensive pressure of the Central Corps and the Northern Front Corps is too great, and in the cold winter, it is very easy for the attacking side to cause non-combat attrition, and in addition, without naval support, the US Army has outnumbered us by too many troops, therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the General Headquarters has decided to hand over this combat mission to the Southern Front Corps! The task of the two corps in the north and the center is to do a good job in war defense in accordance with the previous campaign plan. Speaking of this, the expression on Wenming's face gradually became serious, "Comrades, war is about to break out soon! And this war is also a big test for all the troops in our American theater, whether we can smash the American offensive, keep all the land on the west bank of the Mississippi River, and complete the tasks assigned by the military headquarters depends on what kind of war we can fight in this war!"

After Wenming's words were finished, he sat down slowly, but there was an indescribable solemnity flowing in the war room. At this moment, all the senior officers of the Huo Family Army American Theater felt the unspeakable pressure on their shoulders. And this pressure is not simply to ask them to defeat the Americans, but to show a weakness while blocking the attack of the Americans, a kind of appearance that in the eyes of the outside world, the Chinese People's Army is in a weak position in the war with the Americans!

It can be said that this kind of undefeated situation is more difficult than a simple victory or defeat, and this will also test the command ability of the young Huo Jiajun commanders! At this time, everyone's fists were already clenched tightly, and the fighting spirit in their hearts clearly flowed from their young faces.

Noticing the look on their faces, Wu Guangzong nodded without a trace, feeling satisfied with the military force in his hands!

"I'm sure you've noticed that the chief of staff and Political Commissar Wu (Wu Min, deputy political commissar of the American Theater Command) didn't come to the meeting today, because they had already organized troops in the Southern Front Theater to prepare for the offensive, and the reason why I called you back was to give you the final mobilization for the war! Three days later, that is, on December 20, we will leave for the battlefield, and we must strictly implement it whether it is offensive or defensive!" Wu Guangzong said with a majestic look in his eyes and an awe-inspiring tone.

"Understood, Commander!" Inside the spacious war room, nearly 100 senior officers at the division and regimental level of the Huo Family Army responded with a bang.

"Okay, let's re-explain the battle plan for this operation, strive for perfection, and never make ......mistakes!" (To be continued.) )
