Chapter 440: The First Barrage Dam of the Ming Dynasty

After reading the design drawings of Jenny's machine, Hang Min looked solemn.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhu Jianji was puzzled, "What, is there a problem?" ”

Hang Min coughed, "No, no problem." ”

Will I tell Your Majesty what is the difference between this spinning machine designed by the Empress and the traditional spinning machine, and what are the advantages of improvement, which I, the Ministry of Labor, can't see at all?

Hang Min is a scholar from a scholar family.

How do you know these things.

Zhu Jianji didn't think about it so much, he had actually only seen a hand-spinning machine in a movie, it seemed that in a TV called "Meritorious", Jiang Xin's character used a hand-spinning machine.

I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

As a man, when watching "Meritorious", I still prefer Lei Jiayin's unit about hydrogen bombs as Yu Min, and Huang Xiaoming's unit about submarines as Huang Xuhua.

And the Jenny machine is nothing more than dumping the hand-spinning machine on the ground.

Some functions were also modified to achieve the purpose of mass production.

So it's not that hard.

A lot of things are like this, from one stage to another, just a simple little improvement.

Zhang Rang, who had gone to the Qianqing Palace, Kunning Palace, and Shoukang Palace, came back and whispered at the door: "Your Highness, Lu Chunjing, who is in charge of the Royal Power Company, asked to see him and said that there was good news. ”

Zhu Jianji hummed and asked Hang Min, "Is there anything else going on with the Ministry of Industry?" ”

Hang Min pondered for a moment.

Asked: "Your Majesty, now the Ministry of Engineering's Institute of Engineering is a bit big, and various projects are being prepared or operated, and a large range of sites are needed. ”

Zhu Jianji said: "The Emperor Taishang stayed in the middle because this matter involves the royal fertile fields around Gyeonggi, as well as the ancestral properties of some princes and magnates, which is not easy to operate. ”

After thinking about it, "In this case, the Ministry of Industry will send someone to find a place with flat terrain and a sparsely populated place with a river fifty miles outside Gyeonggi City, and then allocate a special area for the Ministry of Industry, well, it will be called Beijing High-tech Industrial Zone." ”

Hang Min asked, "What high-tech industrial zone?" ”

I don't understand.

Zhu Jianji said: "The meaning of the high-tech zone is the country's advanced new technology development, research and development, production area, is a key project for the development of Daming. ”

Hang Min said: "Weichen understands, but I'm afraid this land is not easy to find, and there is no deserted place around Gyeonggi." ”

Zhu Jianji said: "It's okay, someone will demolish it." ”

Hang Min hesitated slightly, "How can the people who can be relocated survive without land?" ”

Zhu Jianji said: "Moving together to form a market, and the high-tech industrial zone will provide them with a lot of jobs, so why do they need any land to make a living." ”

Hang Min suddenly, "Then with Your Majesty's intentions, after Weichen goes back, he will re-write the chapter and send it to the Qianqing Palace." ”

Zhu Jianji said: "Don't be so troublesome, I will make an order to the Ministry of Industry now." ”

Glancing at Dai Yi, "Intended purpose." ”

He also said to Zhang Rang at the door: "Send someone to the Qianqing Palace to inform the Emperor Taishang, and the ruling on this matter will let the Emperor Taishang also have an understanding, so as not to make the matter serious." ”

wrote the holy decree, stamped it with a seal, and handed it to Hang Min, "The Ministry of Industry is busy with affairs, and Hang Shangshu should pay attention to his body." ”

Hang Min thanked him and retired.

Zhu Jianji Xuan Lu Chunjing came in.

Zhu Jianji had a good impression of this brother-in-law, Lu Chunjing originally failed in the imperial examination, and originally wanted to prepare for the imperial examination, but he was pulled to the Royal Power Company to be the spokesperson of the imperial businessman.

Lu Chunjing sought his position in his position, worked hard, and was young, easy to accept new things, and his work style was clean and neat, and he ran the Royal Power Company vigorously.

After Zhu Jianji ascended the throne, he gave him a marriage a year ago.

A lady of Wei Guogong's family.

Before the Shangyuan Festival, I heard that there was already joy.

Indeed neat!

Lu Chunjing entered and saluted, and Zhu Jianji asked with a smile, "What good news?" ”

Lu Chunjing said: "Back to Your Majesty's words, Your Majesty's previous confession, saying that the kind of bright artifact used in the imperial city to drive power generation in water using the principle of siphon is not a long-term solution, and it is necessary to build a dam along the river, and use the water level difference of the barrage dam to provide larger, more durable and more stable power to drive the generator, so that the Royal Power Company can survey the dam construction site, and design a high-power generator according to the principle of the bright artifact, and good progress has been made." ”

Zhu Jianji's eyes lit up, "Let's talk about it specifically." ”

The current Ming Dynasty relies on the river water of the Forbidden City moat and uses the tower-siphon effect to create hydro-driven equipment, so as to continue to generate stable electricity, but there are actually many problems.

Power outages are commonplace.

The siphon effect has an extremely harsh condition: the sealing of the absolute state.

However, the current industrial level of the Ming Dynasty is not enough, which makes it difficult for the siphon channel on the tower to maintain absolute sealing continuously and efficiently, and once there is a gap, air will enter the siphon pipe.

The siphon device is completely ineffective.

So there are frequent power outages for maintenance.

And relying on siphon equipment, it is impossible to make the entire city of Beijing electrified, in order to build Beijing into a city that never sleeps, the most reliable hydropower and thermal power generation.

Zhu Jianji didn't know about thermal power generation, but in Daming, it is estimated that he still burns coal to produce steam, and uses the power of steam to drive and rotate the generator, so as to generate electricity by electromagnetic induction.

But the steam engine had not yet been developed.

Hydroelectric power is simple.

Zhu Jianji's idea was to install a huge impeller in the generator room, and the water flow rolled down from a high altitude, pushing the impeller to rotate regularly and steadily, so as to generate electricity by electromagnetic induction.

In comparison, hydroelectric power is simpler.

Because the impeller needs to have less technical problems, as long as it is big enough and strong enough - the problem is that the impeller has a certain curve, so the performance requirements of steel, toughness and hard treatment.

Steel with a certain toughness has been developed by the steel mill.

If ductile steel has not yet been developed when the hydropower plant is completed, the traditional pouring method is used.

Lu Chunjing said: "Regarding the site selection of the barrage dam, Weichen personally took people to survey the Yongding River, which is more than 100 miles upstream of Beijing, and the dam can be built and form a huge reservoir. ”

Zhu Jianji was stunned, "Guanting Reservoir? ”

This reservoir he knows.

After graduating from university, I went to Beijing after graduation, and I walked around a lot, and I knew that there was such a reservoir, but I didn't expect that I could build this reservoir in Daming!

Fate.

Immediately made a decision, "Then build a barrage dam according to the trend and topography of the river at the official office, and form a reservoir to regulate the flow of the Yongding River, and also regulate the drought and flood climate of Gyeonggi!" ”

It's a no-brainer.

It must be implemented as soon as possible.
