Chapter 1307 The Song of Electricity ([-])

"I have to ask the Planning Institute to coordinate this, and all departments understand." Chang Kaishen interjected, "All enterprises use electricity at staggered peaks."

"It's easy to say, some equipment can't be shut down just because it's shut down..."

Someone below began to mutter.

Chang Kaishen ignored it, and Qian Liushi just pretended not to hear it. In fact, it was a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg.The power industry has a great demand for electricity itself.They lack both now, so they can only desperately compress the current power supply and turn to raw materials for production.

Faraday thought to himself: The Planning Institute is really not a place for people to stay.No wonder Wu De has lost a lot of hair after being the dean for several years.

"...About power transmission and distribution. We brought a batch of 11kv/400v transformers and several tons of transformer oil from the old time and space, but it is obviously far from enough for our upcoming needs in the future-it is also difficult to maintain the current scale for a long time .So we need to manufacture 10kv/400v transformers by ourselves. If possible, we need to manufacture transformers with higher voltage levels such as 35kv and 110kv. Can we find a substitute for transformer oil? How long will it take us to develop and test the process, What materials are needed to make these devices?"

"I can answer your question about transformer oil," said a veteran of the Ministry of Chemical Industry with a subtle smile. "Actually, this is not difficult. The raw material of transformer oil is naphthenic crude oil. Brunei's Sinia crude oil meets the requirements. , as long as the Planning Council approves the implementation of this project..."

Everyone let out a burst of suppressed laughter. Industry is like this, relying heavily on technical reserves and many basic industries.Even if there are no technical problems in the industrial chain from beginning to end, the industrial chain must be established first to produce a product.

Under the background of internationalized large-scale production and large-scale trade in the old time and space, market procurement can be relied on to solve the needs of various links, but in a place like Lingao that is completely poor, every industrial chain must be built by the Senate itself.Which point to click on the technology tree first has always been the focus of debate among the elders

The oil industry has always been an industrial link that the Planning Institute has placed quite behind-for now, it is true that there is no need for much crude oil, a small amount of oil for motor vehicles and ships, and the by-products extracted from coal tar can roughly meet the demand.If you don't pay attention to it a little bit, you can make do with a gas machine instead.

Qian Liushi and others stopped laughing, and continued without commenting: "Based on the information provided by the industry at present: we can expand the power generation capacity mainly in thermal power, and hydropower involves many pre-technologies. The requirements are also high. In terms of thermal power, is it necessary to build steam turbines? It is more suitable for us to directly drive generators with steam engines? How do we control the power generation process? Should the manufacturing of generator sets be standardized as much as possible or match specific needs as much as possible? … "

The questions he raised were many and complicated, one point two point three point four points...involving all aspects of power generation and transmission and distribution, in order to prevent the participants from remembering so many topics, he specially mimeographed the meeting discussion minutes, and hand one serving.

"...That's all I can think of right now. We're only discussing technical issues here. If you need to discuss other issues, please bring them up at the meeting of the Senate."

What Qian Liushi said in the last sentence meant not to mention the issue of the power company system in the future.Because everyone knows that this future will be an extremely huge Big Mac.Power Bureau, who doesn't want to keep this pet, it can be used against the country in the future.

In the old time and space, the new electricity law has been called for more than ten years, but I dare not drop the hammer. If you dare, I will dare to raise prices, and I will dare to cut off power.Therefore, although the executive committee did not discuss this openly, it has a tacit understanding to "weaken" the power companies, and let the words such as "steam engine dominate the world" and "gas engine is omnipotent" flood.

Judging from the sitting buttocks, neither the Executive Committee nor the Planning Institute wants such a monster to appear in their field of vision, so Qian Liushi has to make a full gesture and fully show that he has "no ambition" in terms of power companies. of.At the same time, he doesn't and doesn't want the power company in the new dimension to become the original family business that was handed down from father to son and son to grandson.

However, Qian Liushi soon discovered that he had overestimated everyone's technical capabilities, and the questions he raised did not have a lively scene where everyone actively came forward to offer suggestions-most people knew nothing about electrical equipment, let alone manufacturing experience.Only a few people have come up with some solutions: for example, the insulation material of the cable can use bitumen-this is a common insulation material for early cables.Asphalt can withstand a temperature of 105°C, is easy to cover and mold, and has certain anti-corrosion and waterproof functions.It is still a commonly used insulating material until the 21st century.

In addition, no useful technical solutions have been proposed.The bathroom meeting quickly descends into rambling nonsense.The reason is that some people suggested that since the manufacture of power transmission and distribution equipment is difficult, it is better to widely set up self-provided power stations and directly use direct current.After being counterattacked by Faraday's firm statement that alternating current is king, the veteran listed the support of the famous Edison and Kelvin for direct current and the application of direct current in China after 2000 AD.Later, a gossip elder justly pointed out that Edison used the wealth and personal reputation of General Electric to slander and suppress the story of his poor clerk Truss inventing alternating current, but finally alternating current broke through the suppression of shameless capitalists And threats, become the king of power transmission.Then gossip historians immediately pointed out that the success of alternating current was actually achieved by Tesla relying on the financial resources of the boss of Westinghouse Electric. General Electric was not monopolistic and omnipotent back then.

When Tesla was proposed, Tesla's great earth-atmosphere ionospheric resonance power transmission was also remembered, and then everyone had a vigorous discussion on its principle and possibility of realization.

The conference inevitably descended into lengthy theoretical debates followed by personal attacks.

Afterwards, the meeting room was buzzing:
"Burn the DC heresy!"

"Heaven and earth, I am the only atmospheric transmission!"

"Hang the conservatives of communication! Confiscate the maid!!"

"Fuck, last time you looked straight at my sister Feng, what the hell did you do 2 minutes after I left the office! Why is my sister Feng blushing!"

"Yeah, it's only three seconds, and it's been down for several rounds in two minutes."

"Hahahahaha..."

Seeing the smog in the venue, Chang Kaishen excused himself to go out to smoke and never returned. Qian Liushi, as the temporary host of the meeting, sat there blushing and turning pale, but it was almost time for dinner, waiting for the waitress in the office When a cart of work lunches was brought in with the bell ringing, this significant meeting that was recorded as a successful victory in the history books came to an end.

When eating at noon, Faraday took a paper bento box and found Qian Liushi, who was buried in his meal in the corner, and sat opposite him, "Qian Fushuai, why the hell are we opening like this? Evil sycophant."

"Well, how did I know that this crooked building is crooked like this. We can't let these grandchildren mess around in the afternoon"

"The few questions you asked are too empty. The electric power industry is a complex of the mechanical industry and the chemical industry. The key is that these people have never worked in this industry-you can't treat these people like We have a relatively clear understanding of the entire power industry like this - they don’t even know the basic principle of the air switch with more oil and less oil, wouldn’t it be foolish to expect them to come up with a plan?”

"Yes, I think I made a metaphysical mistake."

"We can't continue like this in the afternoon. Let's do this. I think the most important thing for everyone now is that they don't have a clear understanding of the basic information. We have to popularize science first."

"In the electric power industry, a slightly higher-level position in the old time and space was at least a graduate of a four-year secondary professional school. To be a strong electrician, you have to go to a technical school..."

"Let's popularize science first, so that they have some basic concepts." Faraday said, "Otherwise this will not be able to continue."

The half-hour meal break ends and the meeting resumes.When everyone came together, Qian Liushi cleared his throat, stood up and said: "Comrades, brothers, we had a heated discussion this morning, um, although we didn't reach any consensus, we exchanged opinions frankly. Now what , I hope we won't be crooked this afternoon."

Chang Kaishen finally came back from "smoking". He stood up and said sincerely with a sincere expression: "You can't do power generation and transmission; we can't do equipment. The manufacture of this power equipment is left to everyone!"

"That's right, everyone, young and old, let's not talk about direct current and ionospheric power transmission." Qian Liushi said in an interface, "If direct current is possible, the British, Germans and Soviets have already done it. In nuclear fusion power generation Let’s not talk about ionospheric power transmission before we get it out. Let’s let Faraday tell you about the power industry first, and then we will analyze specific issues after the lecture.”

Faraday was holding a stack of glass sheets that he had driven out a few days ago—he had expected such a play, and Qian Liushi had overplayed everyone.

He walked to the projector and put a piece on it:

"Everyone knows that the second industrial revolution is the electrical revolution, but an important difference between the electrical revolution and the steam revolution is that the development of the steam engine is the continuous improvement of details and craftsmanship, and its basic theory is relatively simple. At the same time There are no major theoretical changes. The electrical revolution from the beginning to the 100 years after World War II was a joint development of practice and theory. In 1820, Oersted discovered the phenomenon of current magnetism, that is, the current will generate a magnetic field. In 1831 The law of electromagnetic induction was discovered by my predecessor Michael Faraday, that is, cutting the magnetic induction line will produce a current."
