Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 93 The First Power on the White Mountain and Black Water
The next day, Zhu Kaishan followed Zhu Chuanwen, He Laosi, two Russians, and a dozen others to Laojingou.

For the past half month, it was Lin Laoba who was guarding the gold factory.

After the greetings, under the leadership of He Laosi and Zhu Chuanwen, the Russian engineer Tasha looked at the surrounding environment. There were only three pieces of gold panning equipment, and the most valuable one was the 1.5-horsepower steam generator. Electricity generation at the beginning of the year can be regarded as a high-tech product.

In 1905, in the entire Qing Dynasty, there were not many places with electricity, only Guangzhou, Wuhan, Shanghai, Beijing, and Tianjin.Residential electricity is charged according to the light bulb, so the power supply company at this time is called a light bulb company. The name of the light bulb company is not stupid at this time, and it can be regarded as a high-tech company.

Electricity is also expensive at this time. In Guangzhou alone, when the electricity was first connected, it was charged for each light bulb, which was 15 taels of silver per month. Those who are not rich really cannot afford it.Later, a watt-hour meter was used, and each kilowatt-hour of electricity was 2 cents. This was the auxiliary currency of Guangzhou silver dollars, and 1 silver dollar was equal to 10 cents.You can imagine whether it is expensive or not.

The machine layout of the gold factory in Laojingou, Tasha also had a plan in mind, considering the distance between the generator and the machine, the distance between the generator room and the rest area where the generator is located.

"Mr. Zhu, the shaker and the sieving machine can be placed next to this stream." Tasha pointed to the stream in the old Jingou gold factory and said that gold panning needs water, and the coarsely screened ore from the sieving machine , will be transported directly to the shaker, and things like gold will not react with any substances in the sand, and they can be regarded as independently existing in the sand.

Through the drainage tube, under the washing of running water and the vibration of the shaker, a large amount of sand is taken away by the water, and what is left in the bucket of the shaker is golden gold.

"Yes, do I need to build a shed?" Zhu Chuanwen asked.

"That would be the best!" Tasha replied. He is a mechanical engineer. From the current technology, rust is the biggest enemy of the machine. Although the gold panning equipment is placed by the stream, the humidity in the air is already high. But building a shed can at least block the erosion of rainwater and greatly prolong the life of the machine, which is naturally the best.

The generator should be placed a little farther away. The generator is expensive, and a house needs to be built as a power generation room, and coal reserves are also needed.

As Tasha said, Zhu Chuanwen told He Lao Si that there were metalworkers starting to work a little far from the residential area.

Da Jinli got into Lin Laoba's eyes through the fight with Lin Laoba. Although the two have no status as masters and apprentices, Lin Laoba will always teach him a few tricks. It is Hongquan, which is considered to be the most widely spread boxing style in Qilu land. Later, he learned some Taiji push hands, a little bit of Baguazhang, spear technique, and saber technique. In the end, even he himself felt that what he had learned was miscellaneous.

Fortunately, Lin Laoba doesn't know how to be lucky. What he has learned is so complicated. If he knows another kung fu, he will be lucky.If you are not careful, you will kill yourself.

A few years ago, I traveled to the east of the Guandong, as a tourist in the mountains and forests, and learned a little wrestling from a Mongolian I met.A little older, with knowledge, he can connect all the things he learned, and he can also compete with the unlucky Zhu Kaishan, and he can be regarded as the second master of Yaozi Mountain.

Therefore, although Jinzi is still a metalworker, it will be a matter of time before he enters the Zhu family insurance team. It depends on when Lin Laoba nods.

"Big gold grains, small gold grains. From now on, you two will be in charge of this generator. Do you know how much coal to add?" Lin Laoba put his hands behind his back, talking to the two of them.

"It counts!" The noses of the two people, one big and one small, are of course just learned how to observe the fire and pressure gauge under Tasha's guidance, and when to add coal, the coal ash accidentally smeared their noses on.

"Okay, fourth brother, Chuanwen, I have arranged it for you two, absolutely rest assured! I will go to the eldest brother to practice." Lin Laoba arranged for the two of them to look at the metalwork of the generator, and then went to Zhu Kaishan to pass pass.

He is considered a martial arts idiot, he loves to practice martial arts since he was a child, but when he was successful in his studies, he was already in the 20th grade, and without any high achievements, he started to practice blindly by himself, and he followed Zhu Kaishan precisely because of Zhu Kaishan's martial arts.

……

Zhu Kaishan and Lin Laoba stayed in Jinchang for two days before returning to Yaozi Mountain, leaving Zhu Chuanwen and He Laosi to continue to manage in Jinchang.

He Laosi still comes home on time every night, and Qing Cong really makes the best use of it for He Laosi.

Another three days.

Taxia finally screwed on the last screw of the machine sweating profusely. In the past few days, Zhu Chuanwen selected two smart people from the insurance team guarding the gold factory, and followed Taxia. The next two machines, and Two people are responsible for the operation of the generator.

"Hah! Hah!"

When the big gold grains send the coal into the combustion bin of the steam engine, the steam engine starts to work, the flywheel is quickly driven by the belt, and the generator starts to work.

The sieving machine and shaker connected by wires also started to operate. There were people in front of several machines, and baskets of low-quality ore that had been prepared a long time ago were poured into the sieving machine.

This was arranged long ago in order not to let Valery know the actual output of the gold factory.

The old map and He Laosi have figured out the terrain of Laojingou a long time ago. He Laosi can look at the golden veins. Naturally, it is clear where there are golden veins on the map. Where is the good product and where is the bad product? In general, I dare not say that it is accurate every time, but it also has a 3% accuracy rate.

Panning for gold is sometimes just a meal from God.

Shakers, screens, and generators started, in 1905.Unexpectedly, among the white mountains and black waters, it was the gold factory in these mountains that received electricity for the first time.

……

"Mr. Zhu, it seems that I have to take your boat back to Bingcheng." At the wharf of Yuanbao Town, Zhu Chuanwen was watching the laborers loading bags of wheat into the ship.Valerie, who had planned to take the train back to Bingcheng, suddenly appeared and said.

"Why, didn't Mr. Captain leave long ago?" Zhu Chuanwen asked with a smile on his face.

Valery left three days ago, saying that he was going back to Bingcheng. He left after Zhu Chuanwen was the host and practiced in Yuanbao Town. He thought he had left long ago, but he didn't expect to show up again.

"Forget it," Valery said.I thought it was just the train being late, but I didn't expect that even the train station was closed the next day.

It turned out that at this time, the Russian railway workers were on strike. This strike paralyzed the entire Siberian Railway, and there were no trains passing through Sanjiangkou at all.

The strike was caused by railway workers, and has now affected workers in various industries, public utilities, post and telecommunications, shop assistants, domestic servants, etc. It is estimated that no less than 175 million workers participated in the strike. It was a symbol of the climax of the revolution in Russia at that time.

Of course, nothing happens for no reason, it's all about fighting for the rights of workers and urban residents to political freedom.Behind the scenes, of course, are the Russian revolutionaries.

"Then let's set off early tomorrow morning." Zhu Chuanwen said, and then assigned a clerk to settle the two of them in the only inn in Sanjiangkou.
