The reason why it is a big project, in fact, the reason is very simple, mainly because the pressure conduction medium used is water, and the design is also carried out on the basis of the original free forging, so in general, in the advanced degree is far from being able to compare with the future use of hydraulic equipment, the most obvious point is efficiency, Li Zhao does not know what the efficiency of the future die forging machine is, after all, I only learned some on the Internet, I don't know if it is accurate.

But the efficiency of this machine is really not high, after all, it is rumored on the Internet that when the future 80,000-ton die forging machine is repeatedly produced, it can basically complete a part in three minutes, but now, it can't be completed in ten minutes. Of course, this is also related to the low degree of automation of this equipment, the future die forging machine, all operations can be completed on the computer, now you need to press many buttons in turn, and then wait for various instruments to reach the corresponding scale.

In addition, there are a lot of people who manage this equipment, and if you want to complete the operation, you need dozens of people to cooperate, and this does not include the corresponding technical team, after all, if you want to complete the production, you must make a mold, and there are also a lot of people who need to make a mold, including the designers and production personnel of the mold, so if you want to operate such a device, there are really a lot of people needed, adding up to hundreds of people.

This is also the reason why Su's father is anxious to find a job for the die forging machine, if it is not put into production, it will cost money every day, in addition to the maintenance cost of the equipment, there are also personnel salaries, etc., it is such a large equipment, the average daily lubricating oil is a large expense, it is really not something that the average factory can afford.

However, this equipment is generally good, and the commissioning is similar to that of the 10,000-ton free forging hydraulic press, but this equipment is larger, and it takes longer to wait for the operation, and there are more people working together. After all, this kind of equipment is too huge, just say parts, in fact, the largest parts are almost 300 tons, which is also the reason why it is difficult to transfer and install in the factory, and because the degree of automation is very low, it is also very difficult to operate.

It is not that Li Zhao does not want to improve the degree of automation, but it was completely in a hurry, so even when it was designed, it was to enlarge the design on the basis of free forging as much as possible, and only in this way could it be completed faster.

Although the preparation is very sufficient, but the operation is really difficult, after two days of testing, basically all the equipment has been tested, and many forging tests have been carried out, fully meeting the design requirements.

At this time, it was also time for trial production, although Li Zhao wanted to deal with it in a low-key manner, but there were still some leaders who knew about it, so there were many leaders who came today, but there were no reporters, such a big killer, but no one dared to show it directly, with such equipment, it can be said that many parts that could not be manufactured in the past will basically no longer bother researchers, especially some equipment that has particularly high requirements for strength.

Just like the generator set that is being manufactured in the factory, one of the problems is about the strength of the parts. This is a 300,000 kilowatt generator set, the rotor is rotating is a magnet, how much force is the rotor subjected to? Ordinary trains usually only have a few thousand kilowatts, and this generator is about the power of a hundred trains, basically the steam turbine of this generator set can drag hundreds of thousands of tons of goods directly on the tracks.

It is conceivable how much force the rotor strut needs to bear, especially at the end of the shaft, the force is greater, so if the strength cannot be reached, it cannot be used at all. Of course, some people may say that the discus is directly used as the pillar of the rotor, but this is obviously inappropriate, and the reason is very simple, that is, it is too heavy, and it is not conducive to heat dissipation, and the generator will produce heat in the process of operation, because the efficiency cannot reach 100%.

The generator set designed in the factory can basically only reach 85% of the energy conversion rate, so it is inevitable to generate a large amount of heat, and the heat generated in this process is still very much, basically to reach the level of more than 50,000 kilowatts, so heat dissipation is very important. Of course, this situation cannot be avoided, and it is possible to avoid this consumption unless superconducting materials can be used.

Therefore, with such a large-scale die forging machine, many things that could not be produced will become a reality, and after the successful test today, the superior will order

After all, this project will plague a lot of project progress, especially large-scale operating equipment and aircraft, etc., will usher in a different situation.

Just like the generator set project in the factory, today will also usher in a breakthrough, in order to manufacture these parts of the generator set, the factory has been preparing molds for several months, and this time finally came in handy. I saw that the heated part embryo was put into the mold, and then the die forging machine was slowly pressed, and when the forging hammer was lifted, the part was formed, and then a series of treatments, the part was completed, and all the personnel cheered.

At this time, everyone also understands that the design of the die forging machine meets the design requirements, and the processing of the parts is truly realized, and the next thing is to replace the mold, although it is a test today, but it is also with a task, that is, all the parts required for the generator set are processed, first the pillar, and then the shaft, these are very powerful parts, and they must be forged by such a large equipment to ensure the strength.

After all the parts processing tasks were completed today, Li Zhao and Su's father came to the office with a group of leaders, and the parts were to be taken away for the next processing and processing, and the die forging machine was just one step of processing.

When I arrived at the office, when everyone was seated and had tea, the leader of the mechanical department asked, "How long will it take to complete the processing of these parts today, and when these are completed, the generator set is almost finished, right?"

I didn't expect the leader to come up and ask this, Li Zhao thought that the leader would ask about the die forging machine, but it's normal to think about it, since the die forging machine has been successfully tested, then the next thing is the problem of the order, and the leaders have also considered it, with this big killer, it is obviously impossible to let it be idle. Relatively speaking, the most important thing now is the generator set, if it can't be completed quickly, it is easy to show its feet.

Of course, if you don't want to show your feet, it's not impossible, but that will definitely affect the domestic construction, which is certainly not what the leadership wants to see, and now the best result is to complete the expansion of the power plant as soon as possible, and achieve a big breakthrough in power generation as soon as possible, after all, this equipment is completed, then it is 300,000 kilowatts, which is equivalent to half of the current power generation, and the most important thing is that the equipment is produced by itself, and it will not be stuck in the neck.

Li Zhao also replied at this time: "At most, you can start some operation tests in a week, but it is difficult to see the specific performance now, after all, this is a 300,000 kilowatt generator, only after installation, can it pass the test and get the final performance situation, and now it is impossible to directly test it." The leader is so anxious about the generator set now, is there any new change in the matter of exporting alloys?"

The leader of the mechanical department said: "There are not many major changes, but we have had an exchange with the big Mao envoys, and also expressed our concerns about cooperation, and now the best condition they can give is that they can pay for the goods and then ship the goods, but what guarantee is not possible, and now negotiations are still underway."

Li Zhao nodded, it is true, now there is no one who can endorse this transaction, after all, the treaties are used to tear up, not to mention that it is only an alloy procurement contract now, as long as they have a ban in the country, then basically this business will be yellow, and the expanded production capacity is a decoration.

After hearing this, Father Su asked, "So the current situation is that we are responsible for ourselves? Do we still need to expand production? The current investment in capacity expansion is not small, if we build it well, they don't want it, then the investment will basically be wasted, with our current development, basically within ten years, it will be difficult for us to use this capacity."

Obviously, at this time, the leader can't give any guarantee at all, but in this case, there is really no one who can guarantee it, and the current negotiation is just to see if it can take advantage of it, and in the end it is estimated that it will still agree.

The reason is also very simple, that is, now the country needs funds for construction, and now the export of metals is obviously the most important source of funds, and it is impossible for the superiors to give up casually, as Li Zhao expected, the leader of the Ministry of Machinery said: "Although we know that there may be problems, but we now have to accept this reality, we can only hope that they can make enough money before they stop buying metal, it is not difficult to come here, right?"

At this point, the 998 factory could only accept it silently, and then Li Zhao also said: "

We estimate that the installation will start in early August, and the trial production will start in the middle of the month, and if there is no problem, we can basically provide the generator set directly. However, the follow-up improvements will not progress much faster, and the back will be more difficult to gnaw on the bones."

This answer is the same as the last time, obviously it is impossible to quickly complete the transformation of the power plant, and the subsequent development of the generator set is the work of the water mill, of course, it is not a big problem to simply enlarge it, such as 350,000 kilowatts, or even 400,000 kilowatts, it is possible.
