Chapter 222 Centrifuge without electricity

After Liu Xiu heard Qin Huairu's story, he hunted and killed a wild boar weighing more than 100 kilograms on the way to send Qin Huairu home, and then secretly took hundreds of silver dollars from his pocket.

There is no way that the new currency at this time is not very stable, so many places still use silver dollars for transactions. Although the new coins have been issued at this time, currencies such as silver dollars can also be exchanged!

Qin Huairu's parents were very welcoming to Liu Xiu's visit with a big wild boar on his shoulders, so in a happy atmosphere, Liu Xiu decided on Qin Huairu's wedding date, and also gave him hundreds of silver dollars as a betrothal gift!
···········
Of course, in Liu Xiu's eyes, deciding on his own marriage is not a big deal, it is just something he does casually. Liu Xiu, who is now at the level of empty feeding, does not pay much attention to the love between his children, otherwise Liu Xiu would Xiu will not forget Qin Huairu for almost a year.

Liu Xiu, who returned to the courtyard this time, did not continue with his design, but thought about how to quickly develop the mushroom technology.

You know, after the Battle of Xian'ao, Mi'ao was unwilling to engage in the Battle of Yue'ao again. Although no troops were directly sent this time, there were a lot of supplies and weapons to assist. You must know that it happened to be Tsuen'ao at this time. It’s welding time!

After the mushrooms were created, there was basically no war. At most, it was just a confrontation with Su Zuo. But the most important thing was that there was a postal mine now, and Liu Xiu knew the location.

But the key point is the separation technology of postal products, because if you want to make mushrooms, you must separate the postal products in the uranium mine. However, the postal products that can be used to make mushrooms only have 0% in the uranium mine. Point seven two.

If you want to separate the postal products that look similar to ordinary postal mines, you need to use a high-speed centrifuge with a speed of more than 10,000 rpm.

Because postal mail is slightly heavier than ordinary postal mail, it can be separated under a high-speed centrifuge.

These 200 million kilowatt-hours of electricity are simply not worth mentioning in the era before Liu Xiu's time travel. You must know that just before Liu Xiu's time travel, its annual power generation had reached more than 9 trillion kilowatt-hours. Therefore, 200 million kilowatt-hours of electricity is just It's less than one part in 40,000.

Of course, since he was crossing the river by touching Mi'ao, Liu Xiu could combine the knowledge about mushrooms he saw before crossing, and now Liu Xiu could use the map of enemies and friends to view Mi'ao's mushroom factory in all directions at any time.

However, the critical mass required to have a mushroom-making Yousanwu is fifty-two kilograms. Even if the design is improved and uses neutron reflection, it will still be fifteen kilograms.

However, this amount of electricity would be useless in the 1950s. Although Min'ao has some industrial base, after repeated battles, its annual power generation is only about 5 billion kilowatt-hours. The gap is several decades. Nearly two thousand times more.

Therefore, even if neutron reflection is used, at least three thousand tons of postal ore must be purified.

So we just need to get to the point and don't need too many experiments. We just need to build a centrifuge factory. However, the most difficult thing is the power consumption of high-speed centrifuges. It is said that the three centrifuges manufactured by Mihao's Manhadun Project Mushrooms consume 200 million kilowatt hours of electricity.

It is very difficult to extract the amount of 35 needed to make mushrooms from the natural 35 ore. Basically, it is about 1 to 200,000 yuan. In other words, it takes 1 kilogram of 35 to extract Two hundred tons of natural postal mine.

However, this power seems to be enough, but this is the power of Tsuen-gao, and it is not connected to the power grid of Tsuen-gao at this time!
Just when Liu Xiu was worried about using electricity, suddenly an idea flashed in his mind. Why should electricity be used? Is there no other way to drive the centrifuge other than using a motor to drive the centrifuge?
In the end, Liu Xiu came up with a good idea, which was to create a turboshaft engine.

That's right, it's the kind of engine used on helicopters. Different from the turbojet engines used on general fighter planes, the turboshaft engine produces shaft power, and the helicopter's propeller is driven by this shaft after changing speed.

For example, the famous Mi-26 helicopter uses two turboshaft engines, each of which has a power of 8,500 kilowatts. Of course, the current industrial strength cannot produce such a large one, but there is no problem in getting a turboshaft engine with a power of 1,000 kilowatts. If it is used to drive a centrifuge, it can naturally replace the motor drive.

In this way, if thirty turboshaft engines are used as the power source of the centrifuge, enough postage can be obtained to produce mushrooms in less than a year.

Of course, the fuel consumption of thirty turboshaft engines with a power of 1,000 kilowatts for one year is an astronomical figure.

Liu Xiu did a little calculation and found that the aviation kerosene needed would be more than 50,000 tons!

But in order to get the mushrooms one day earlier, that’s right.

Of course, using kerosene to drive a turboshaft engine and then centrifugally refining it is the most expensive refining method.

Apart from anything else, if you build a thermal power station that burns coal, the refining price will be more than ten times cheaper. After all, how much does a ton of coal cost, and how much does a ton of aviation kerosene cost?

In fact, the main reason why Liu Xiu had to seize the time was that next year, that is, in October 1952, Yin'ao would be able to extract enough post-made mushrooms.

If Liu Xiu can succeed before Yin Gao's mushroom explodes, then he will be the third Gao Cao with mushrooms, which is of great significance.

No surprise, when Liu Xiu reported his plan to the superiors, the superiors simply agreed to Liu Xiu's request. After all, the current consumption of kerosene is actually very small. Unlike diesel and gasoline, the current consumption of kerosene Apart from being used to light kerosene lamps, its only use is for Liu Xiu's Peregrine fighter.

Although 50,000 tons of kerosene seems like a lot, it just means that Liu Xiu ordered his pilots to train tens of thousands of times less on Peregrine Falcons. After all, Crickets can be used instead for flight training.

In order to reduce the workload of transportation, Liu Xiu placed the centrifuge to refine the postal ore directly next to the oil field, thus eliminating the trouble of transporting fuel.

Of course, manufacturing turboshaft engines at this stage cannot continue to work for a year. The turboshaft engine will have to be replaced in one or two months at most. However, this is okay. It is just in time to cultivate the ability of the rolling mill to manufacture turboshaft engines.

A month later, after Liu Xiu's postal centrifugal purification plant was finally on track, Liu Xiu returned to Siheyuan again to pay attention to the production of Sanbengzi at his Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant.

Nowadays, Sanbengzi has also entered the fast lane of production. It can produce hundreds of Sanbengzi parts every day and provide them to the Hongxing Automobile Factory next door for assembly.

Although the production rate of more than 30,000 vehicles a year at this rate is incomparable to the automobile manufacturers that would produce tens or even millions of vehicles a few decades later, Liu Xiu already felt very satisfied in this era.

But what made Liu Xiu the most happy was the car exterior design drawing that Qin Huairu gave him, because Qin Huairu's car design drawing made Liu Xiu's eyes shine.
