Chapter 617: New Projects
Of course, Li Zhao is going to engage in the generator now, the step is already very big, and now the equipment installed in the power plant is a generator with a power of 100,000 kilowatts of a single unit, according to the ideas of ordinary people, it must be imitated first, but Li Zhao feels that there is a good pressure-resistant alloy, there is no need to be so careful, after all, such a generator set, the core thing is to boil water, as long as the water is boiled, other problems are not big.
It is in this situation that the final design of the generator set began, and it is progressing quite smoothly, after all, the principle is clear at a glance, and there is a good alloy base, plus Li Zhao has research on the impeller, so the overall speed progress is quite good, and it is estimated that it will be basically completed next month. As long as the drawings come out, with the production capacity of the 998 factory, I dare not say that it is still possible to produce three or five sets a year.
In this case, it can greatly alleviate the current electricity problem, and even if the factory continues to expand production, it will not be a big problem, after all, at present, the factory has not yet met the national demand for alloy steel. At present, the gap is basically one million tons, but as development continues, this gap will widen.
It can be said that the current generator set research has made great progress, for the factory, it is the right time, with such results, Li Zhao also explained with Su's father, and today, November 18th, Monday, Li Zhao and Su's father went to the Ministry of Machinery to discuss the development of the power plant with the leaders of the Ministry of Machinery.
After all, the research has reached the point where it is basically clear, if you want to know the status of the equipment produced at the first time, then the most important thing is of course to carry out the construction of the power plant in advance, and now it is the end of November, and it may snow at any time, just take advantage of this winter to complete the design, and then the spring can start construction, and at the end of next year at the earliest, the construction of a facility will be almost, and the end of next year will be the result.
If it is delayed any longer, then it is unlikely that there will be any major progress next year, after all, the construction of supporting facilities for this kind of large-scale equipment is very time-consuming, especially the kind of large chimney of the power plant, the very huge chimney is actually a cooling tower, mainly for cooling water vapor, for large boilers, it is necessary to use distilled water as a medium, and ordinary water cannot be used for boilers at all.
One is that ordinary water will produce scale, which is very dangerous for this kind of boiler that produces high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor, and it will explode if it is not very good. The second point is that the minerals in ordinary water can also corrode boilers, turbines, etc., which will also reduce the service life of equipment, while distilled water will be much better.
So for large power stations, it is necessary to have such large cooling towers to produce distilled water. This kind of cooling tower is generally nearly 100 meters high, and the diameter is about this level, so the difficulty of construction is very high.
This year, because the construction is a 100-meter-high building, it brings a lot of troubles, the most important of which is slow, which also makes the factory not divided this year, and it can only be possible until next year. And what is the progress of the completion now? This is the end of the year, and the fastest is only six or seven percent, that is to say, basically the cap will be until the middle of next year, and the new subdivision can only wait until the end of next year.
So the current situation is that after the design of the generator has an eyebrow, the first time to find the superior leaders, let them hurry up to prepare, and then find a way to complete the construction of the facility next year, so as to provide conditions for the installation of equipment, otherwise you can only wait until the next year to install the equipment, in this case, the delay is too much. You must know that the reason why the previous construction is so fast is mainly because most of the facilities were built in the past.
After meeting with the leader, Li Zhao reported the progress of the generator to the leader, and finally said: "We will probably complete the design of the generator set next month, and we should be able to come up with the first unit in the middle of next year.
At this time, the leader still looked like a ghost, and said, "You mean that during the period of time when you got the drawings, you have studied the equipment thoroughly, and then upgraded it on the basis of the drawings, and then prepared to design a three
The 100,000-kilowatt unit already has a clear design plan?"
Li Zhao saw that the leader looked disbelieving, and replied affirmatively: "Yes, in fact, this is not difficult for our current research institute, I think I should have said it in other places now, there is no problem with the materials, right?" I guess the biggest obstacle is the lack of processing capacity, right? There's no way to produce such a large device, right?"
Listening to Li Zhao's words, the leader of the mechanical department suddenly thought of something and said: "I really forgot your situation, it is true, the biggest obstacle to imitation at present is the production equipment, some parts need a large die forging machine to produce, and the die forging machine that is being built now is your factory, how can your die forging machine be installed, if you want to complete the manufacturing in the middle of next year, then your die forging machine will be completed before then."
At this time, Su's father said with a smile: "Yes leader, our die forging machine can basically be organized and installed after the year, although most of our parts are heated to relieve stress, but we are still ready to stand for a few months, otherwise we have already started to partially assemble now, and the effect can be better after standing for a few months."
The order of production parts in the factory is produced in accordance with the installation order, the earliest parts, so far has been standing for more than half a year, and to the last installation of parts next year, it is estimated that the shortest standing time, has been more than half a year, at present, after a year of manufacturing, most of the parts have actually been made.
The reason why the manufacture of these parts can be completed so quickly is also because Li Zhao specially designed the corresponding processing equipment, just like when the pillars are carved, there are special production equipment, so the time required can be directly reduced by more than half, and without special equipment, then just turning these columns, it is a big project.
In fact, the factory that can play like this is the 998 factory, after all, the factory is really rich, for this project, it is directly a billion capital investment, you must know how big this investment is? That is at least equivalent to the existence of 40 billion to 50 billion in 60 years, and how many things can be accomplished with such a large sum of money, you can imagine.
After listening to this, the leader finally became happy and said, "Okay, this is really good news, you don't know what we have been worried about for a while, looking for people everywhere to buy power generation equipment, but they are not willing to sell it to us. Even if it is a big hair, we want to buy, there are additional conditions, one of which is to provide a full set of machine tool drawings, such a request, how can we agree? Other countries are asking more and more excessively."
Hearing this, Li Zhao said: "Then what they think is quite beautiful, as long as our current machine tool is not compared with CNC machine tools, there is no problem with leading it for ten years." How big should they be if they want to use this set of drawings as an additional condition for buying their generators? This set of drawings is worth at least dozens of generators."
Li Zhao's statement is not an exaggeration at all, just like the generator set installed in the previous power plant, 100,000 kilowatts, in fact, it is only a set of 100,000 yuan, of course, converted to 60 years later, it is about equivalent to 30 or 40 million, but Li Zhao's current set of drawings must be worth hundreds of millions, right? In exchange for dozens of his generators, it is really cheap for them, after all, there is a real thing, and it will take several years for them to imitate the same accuracy.
At that time, this set of machine tools in the face of CNC machine tools, can already say that nothing is it, the most obvious is the 998 factory, Li Zhao estimates that now regardless of the cost of the investment in the computer, five years, the five-axis five-linkage machine tool will at least have the ability to program at will, at that time, basically completed.
In this case, what is the current ordinary machine tool? That's a completely different landscape, and if Da Mao still needs drawings at that time, why not send them, but now it's too much to ask.
At this time, the leader said, "Now that you have accurate news here, we don't have any need to talk to them, you wait a minute, I'll make a phone call to report it first." After the leader of the mechanical department picked up the phone and called the superior, after the matter was reported clearly, the superior also gave instructions to start forming a project team as soon as possible, and strive to complete the construction of infrastructure as soon as possible to facilitate industrial development.
After the call, the leader said, "You have also heard, the superior instructed to start as soon as possible, tell us what you think, look at us
How to unfold the project, after all, you are still designing the equipment."
Li Zhao said at this time: "Leader, our factory is strong in machinery, so for the infrastructure, we need to lead you to come forward to form, and then form a joint design team with our design team, according to the parameters we provide, design the facilities, as for the rest, it is necessary to explore the hydrology and geology, and then it is to mobilize various materials, how about you take charge of this team yourself?" There's only so much we can accomplish."
