On November 11, 2751 (191o), Neijiang, Tuodong Group.

The full name of "Tuodong" is "Tuojiang Power Equipment Group Co., Ltd.", which belongs to China Xingke Industrial Group, which was established as a branch of Xingke Machinery Qì Factory at the earliest, responsible for manufacturing pot camel machines and hot ball machines. After more than 4 years of flying exhibition, Tuodong has become a large enterprise with 4 research institutes, 15 companies and manufacturing plants, and is the world's largest and most technologically advanced motor manufacturing enterprise.

Its products range from the most primitive steam engines, hot ball engines, and automobile engines to the most high-tech steam turbines and aviation engines for warships. The hot ball machine occupies 98% of the Asian market, 9o% of the market in Australia, Africa and South America, and 85% of the market even in Europe and the United States, which can be said to be a monopoly.

There is no way, China's gas-type hot ball machine has the advantage of generation difference compared with other similar types now. With the same power, China's machine is lighter and smaller, with higher thermal efficiency, less fuel, and the price is only 7o% of similar products.

The same is true for the pot camel machine, although this kind of thing does not have any technical problems for the major industrial countries, but the Chinese design is more advanced, the man-machine effect is better, and the operation is simpler. The rotation reaches 3oo rpm, which is twice as high as similar products. A condenser is added to save more water. In addition, the welding technology is used, the weight and volume are much lighter, and there are even movable models with wheels. This advantage of generation difference and lower price, in the past four years, it has occupied more than 9o% of the global market, and the Asian market has become the world of "Tuodong", so that foreign pot camel machine manufacturers have closed down a batch, and a batch of production has been converted, leaving only a very small number of them are still alive and well.

In the past few years, more than 200,000 units of pot camel machines and hot ball machines have been sold, and more than 100,000 units of supporting gas generators have been sold.

In fact, the export strength is the automobile motor, which is also a fist product with a generation difference advantage with similar products. Due to the increasing popularity of automobiles in the world in recent years, automobile factories have sprung up, and the demand for motivation has also increased exponentially.

Xingke Automobile Factory entered the European and American markets in 1908, with beautiful and unique appearance design, and far from the same kind of good man-machine efficiency, Hongqi (luxury and special car series), BMW (high-end car series), Mercedes-Benz (mid-range car system), Volkswagen (low-end car system), Hummer (off-road vehicle series), King Long (bus series), Jiefang and Dongfeng (truck series) these systems of vehicles quickly occupied most of the market share with a terrifying degree, now New York, Paris, Six or seven out of ten cars on the streets of Berlin are Chinese. In neighboring Japan, it occupies ninety percent of the market, and the Japanese royal family's current special car is a Hongqi bulletproof limousine bought from China.

But it is impossible to eat such a thing as a car alone, after all, the great powers also want to face, and although the performance of Chinese cars is good, the production capacity is still not enough to meet the needs, so foreign automobile factories can still live. Of course, in order not to make their products too bad, they have to buy Chinese car motives.

So Tuodong relied on this shareholder's motivation to sell well, and bought a lot of diesel engines and gasoline engines, and the total export volume of O8 and O9 in the past two years was more than 80,000 units. (In 19o7, Xingke spent 8oo million marks to buy a patent license for diesel engines from Diesel.) ）

The last is the aviation motive, although the foreign powers have obtained a full set of airship drawings, but they go back to the present, their own motivation is not as good as the samples bought from China, although the powers are very confident in themselves, that they will be able to achieve or even exceed the performance of Chinese products, but for a while and a half will definitely not, as for the current use of the only way to buy from China.

Wen Desi also generously let Tuowdong take over all the flight orders, and then add more than ten or twenty times the cost to sell it. These lists are not small, the United Kingdom alone has ordered 5ooo units of various types of airship motives in one go, plus other countries, the number of orders is more than 2ooo. Then there is the aircraft engine, which is mainly bought by the United States and Germany, and more than 6oo units have also been sold.

Well, these sold airlines and cars are all monkey versions, and their performance is lower than that of their own models, especially the airlines are an order of magnitude lower, but even this is much better than their own.

The products with very small export quantities are large reciprocating steam engines and steam turbines, both of which are insufficient in production and cannot even meet domestic needs, so they naturally cannot provide too many export services.

..................................................................

Now, a new product is being assembled in the 10th workshop of the Tuodong Steam Turbine Factory.

"Master Wang, it's all ......," the squad leader ran over and said.

"Okay, I'll take a look......" Wang Qinian walked over with the drawings and checked each part repeatedly.

This steam turbine is smaller than the marine steam turbines and industrial steam turbines they built before, with a diameter of just over three meters and less than four meters, and the structure appears to be very compact.

Wang Qinian was still illiterate before entering Xingke, and even his own name only recognized the simplest word "Wang". After entering Xingke, after the company's centralized literacy education, he became literate in less than a year. In the following years, he actively participated in factory classes and entered workers' night schools.

At the beginning of last year, Wang Qinian, who has become an advanced producer for two consecutive years, was selected by Tuodong Factory to enter the production backbone refresher class, and conducted a half-year full-time study at Southwest University of Technology. As mentioned earlier, Southwest University of Technology is equipped with a set of "dream learning machines", and half a year's study should be at least the progress of normal learning for ten years. And Wang Qinian himself has worked hard enough, and his progress is higher than this average.

After graduating from the advanced course, Wang Qinian is already a qualified intermediate technician, and with his own practical experience, he passed the technician exam at the end of last year and became a technician majoring in thermodynamic machinery. At the beginning of this year, he was transferred by the company from the hot ball engine factory to the steam turbine factory as the section leader of the final assembly workshop.

Wang Qinian climbed up and down on the machine, checked it carefully, and then nodded and said, "Good job, I don't have a problem...... Okay, go and ask the designer and quality inspector to do the final inspection, and you can test the car without any problem......"

The designer and the quality inspector quickly arrived, and they carried out the final inspection. Half an hour later, they all nodded, the final assembly items were qualified, there was no problem, and the next thing was to look at the test run.

Because this is a new product, the factory attaches great importance to it. The chief engineer personally sat at the test site, and Wang Qinian, as the person in charge of the final assembly, naturally had to accompany him. After 72 hours of continuous test operation, all parameters have met or even exceeded the design requirements, and the results of all assessment items are excellent or good!

After the chief engineer signed the inspection certificate, he asked Wang Qinian: "Master Wang, how much time does it take for you to assemble this kind of machine." ”

Wang Qinian flipped through his notebook and replied: "We arranged for a total of 15 people to spend 57 hours on this machine, with a total of 855 man-hours...... This is because the new product is not familiar to everyone, so a lot of time is spent studying the drawings and assembly methods. If I become proficient, I think I can compress it to about 5oo man-hours......" He said more conservatively, and if he uses his own technology, he believes that it can be compressed to 3oo man-hours.

The chief engineer nodded: "Well, that's good. This kind of steam turbine will be mass-produced in the future, and you will set up a final assembly team to be responsible for the assembly of this kind of steam turbine......"

"Mr. Liu, this kind of steam turbine is mass-produced? Does it mean that in the future, our locomotives will be replaced by steam turbines?" Wang Qinian asked in surprise. As one of the production leaders, he certainly knew that this kind of steam turbine was used by locomotives. Now this finished steam turbine is about to be sent to Ziyang Locomotive Company.

Chief Engineer Liu said with a smile: "Yes, the traditional kind of reciprocating steam locomotive has fallen behind, and China Railway Corporation has planned to replace all the steam locomotives on all trunk lines and some important branch lines with steam turbine locomotives within five years, and the original locomotives have been replaced to each branch line." This is a business of hundreds of units, and if we add new ones, at least a thousand, which is enough for us to be busy for several years......"

Wang Qinian asked curiously: "Oh, isn't their Ziyang Locomotive Factory already a diesel locomotive? Is this better?" In 19o9, Ziyang Locomotive Company began to manufacture diesel locomotives, and the world's first diesel locomotive was built in November, and now I heard that there are dozens of them. (The original space-time platform was born in Switzerland in 1912.) This diesel locomotive weighs 95 tons, has a power of 883 kW and a maximum height of 1oo km / h. ）

Chief Engineer Liu said: "Diesel locomotives need oil, we are short of oil in China, and now we only have two oilfields, Yumen and Yanchang, with an annual output of only one million tons, which is not enough at all." Now most of our oil is imported from the United States, Mexico, Indonesia, etc. Now we have to use oil everywhere, diesel locomotives are oil tigers, and the quota of China Railway can't support too much. But we do not lack coal, so steam turbines are more suitable for the situation in our country than diesel. Besides, this steam turbine is much more powerful than a diesel engine, hahahaha......"

Wang Qinian smiled: "That is, our steam turbine is 2ooo kilowatts, and the diesel engine is only 12ooo kilowatts......"

In the original time and space, steam turbine locomotives were very rare, but it was not that no one thought that someone had been engaged in this thing for a long time. There are two main reasons why it did not become a mainstream locomotive: the first is that the locomotive of the British gauge is too small, and the initial steam turbine is too large, and the suitable steam turbine cannot be installed in the locomotive at all, and the power that can be loaded into it is not enough, so it is a tragedy. The second reason is that it was born at the wrong time, and when the small-volume high-power steam turbine appeared, more advanced and better electric locomotives came out again, so this kind of locomotive with great ideas was a complete tragedy.

But in this plane it is different, the orbital gauge of China is 2. With a 5-meter wide gauge, the front space is large enough, and Xingke's steam turbine technology comes from later generations, which is much smaller than similar at this time, so there is no problem that zài cannot be installed. The second problem is not a problem, although Xingke's technology is now no problem to build electric locomotives, but the terrible thing is that China's electricity is far from enough, and even the industrial electricity and lighting electricity in many cities have not been done well, how can there be conditions to play electric locomotives?

So at least in China, steam turbine locomotives will be popular.
