Great Power Heavy Industry: Rise

Chapter 65
2013 2 Month 17 Day.

The eighth day of the first lunar month.

The long Spring Festival holiday in China has just ended.

The power battery project team ran into trouble again, the big trouble of insufficient power supply in the factory.

It was not obvious during the trial production of the prototype, but in the mass production stage, a large number of high-energy-consuming equipment was put into use, and the power supply could not keep up.

It had already been taken into consideration at the beginning of the project, and the Beishan Municipal Government decided to add another 10-kilowatt generator set to the municipal power plant to provide power guarantee for the daily project.

But last year's declaration was rejected by the state. Now the state has strictly controlled thermal power generation projects. The pollution is too serious. Reducing carbon emissions has become a national policy.

The Beishan Municipal Government’s alternative plan is to transmit power from the provincial power grid, but the construction of the corresponding transmission line is still under negotiation. I did not expect that the progress of the daily project progressed so fast, and the power load was overloaded a few months in advance.

The power battery project team discussed this problem for a long time, and everyone was at a loss, and they could not think of a solution at all.

Zhong Cheng and Zheng Yilun had no choice but to find the promotion committee. They found Mr. Deng in the command center, and it happened that Director Qian was also reporting to Mr. Deng.

Hearing their questions, Mr. Deng laughed out loud, "Xiaoqian, the two of them came here for the same reason as you!"

Zhong Cheng was taken aback. Has the R&D office lost power? That's a big deal!

Director Qian also smiled, "Xiao Zhong, I'm not here to fight you for electricity, I'm here to deliver electricity to you."

Zhong Cheng was a little moved and said: "Director, you are too supportive of our work. You would rather keep our electricity in power than the R&D institute."

Director Qian was stunned when he heard that, where is this going?
Mr. Deng smiled even more happily, "If Qian Jianguo is so generous, the sun will come out from the west."

Seeing both Zhong Cheng and Zheng Yilun's puzzled faces, Director Qian had no choice but to explain: "You two are comrades who have been tested and trusted. What I'm going to tell you next is the top secret of the state. You just need to know it yourself."

"Yes!" Zhong Cheng and Zheng Yilun became even more curious.

"The research and development institute has its own large-scale generator set, not a thermal power generator set, but a nuclear fission reactor power station, which uses the most advanced thermal neutron reactor, with a power generation capacity of 40 kilowatts, which can guarantee the power supply of a city of 100 million people. no problem."

(PS: From the perspective of the general trend of nuclear power development, the technical and strategic routes of national nuclear power development are: the current development of pressurized water reactors, the development of fast neutron reactors in the medium term, and the long-term development of fusion reactors.

In order to make full use of uranium resources, thermal neutron reactor nuclear power plants adopt the technical route of uranium-plutonium cycle, which is also nuclear fission power generation. )
"Hey!" Both Zhong Cheng and Zheng Yilun gasped, the news was too shocking.

Director Qian took a sip of tea and continued: "This nuclear power plant is built on the 33rd floor underground of the R&D center. This is to prepare for a possible nuclear war in the future. Otherwise, the R&D center would not use such a large underground space."

"However, the power use of the nuclear power plant must be approved by the Ministry of National Defense, and the power of Beishan City has kept up, so it still has to stop using it. This is a strategic facility. I have made a report last year, and I have received an approval reply yesterday. "

"Great!" Zhong Cheng and Zheng Yilun clapped their hands together, "Then lead us back."

After speaking, the two left the office excitedly.

The boulder blocking the front of the project was lifted, and they hurried back to continue working.

Mr. Deng said to Director Qian: "Xiaoqian, you did a good job on this matter. You foresaw this situation last year, otherwise it would be too late to solve it now."

Director Qian pointed to his hair, and said helplessly: "Old leader, I am also in my fifties, so you should stop calling me petty money!"

Mr. Deng stared, "No matter how old you are, are you as old as me? No matter how old you are, you are still the child I watched grow up."

But this reminded Mr. Deng of a question, and he pondered: "But at your age, you should also consider your successor. Your research and development institute is too important to the country and the army, and now you should consider suitable candidates for training. "

Director Qian thought for a while and asked, "Old leader, do you already have a candidate?"

Mr. Deng smiled, "Let's not talk about it, write the name on the paper first, and see if we think the same."

Director Qian was very interested, so he wrote down a person's name on a piece of paper, and then picked it up to match the name written by Mr. Deng. Both of them burst out laughing.

"Heroes see the same thing!"

Both of them wrote the word "Zhong Cheng" on the paper.

……

3 month 15 day.

A day when spring is warm and flowers are blooming and everything is recovering.

The sun is shining and the spring breeze is pleasant.

Red Star Company has ushered in a festive day, and the daily project has achieved the goal of the prototype car off-line one month ahead of schedule.

All the members of the promotion committee and the special groups gathered in the electric car assembly workshop to welcome the launch of Red Star's first electric car.

This is a huge steel frame structure factory building with a floor height of more than 30 meters and a usable area of ​​more than 2 square meters, which is the size of three standard football fields.

There are a large number of equipment and facilities distributed in the factory building. On the ground is the main assembly transmission line. On both sides and in the air, there are a large number of trusses, conveyor belts, and robotic arms. Thousands of components, parts, and major assemblies From other workshops directly to the main conveyor line for sequential assembly.

With the order of the director of the assembly workshop, a car began to "grow" from scratch.

This is an intelligent assembly line using the Gonggong manufacturing system. There are no assembly workers on site, only dozens of quality inspection personnel and equipment monitoring and maintenance personnel. The designed annual output is 10 vehicles, with a daily output of 350 vehicles.

There will be three such assembly lines in this factory. If it goes well, the production of 3 new electric cars will be completed this year.

In the past two months, Zhou Hu and Gui Bin's Gonggong manufacturing system project team have worked hard.

Under the watchful eyes of hundreds of people, an electric car in the shape of an off-road vehicle was sent from the assembly line to the road of the factory two hours later.

There was warm applause and cheers at the scene, and many people shed tears of excitement. Red Star's first electric car was born.

This is a black hard-core off-road vehicle with a prismatic shape, tall and mighty, not like a civilian car, but more like an armored combat vehicle.

Who will be the first to drive this electric off-road vehicle for its first performance road test?
Most people at the scene looked at Zhong Cheng.

Zhong Cheng's contribution to the daily project has attracted everyone's attention. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one hero of the daily project.

With difficulty, Zhong Cheng turned his attention to Mr. Deng, Mr. Wan, Director Qian and other leaders.

Mr. Deng laughed and said: "If you don't come up, young man, why don't you let us old men play? Don't dawdle, hurry up!"

"Yes!" Zhong Chengcheng gave a military salute and walked decisively towards the electric off-road vehicle. He liked this task.

Pulling the door, although it looks heavy, is effortless.

He sat in the driver's seat, fastened his seat belt, and felt that the space was spacious and the seat was comfortable.

Then step on the brakes, release the handbrake with the right hand, press the engine start button, the light on the button turns green, and the words "ready" light up on the instrument panel.

"beep!"

After honking the horn, the crowd parted and got out of the driveway.

Only then did he turn the gear to the forward gear, turn on the left turn signal, and slowly release the brake with his right foot, the car began to move slowly without any sound.

The operation of this car is too simple, it is estimated that the majority of female compatriots will have fewer chances of being scolded when they go to driving school.

"Moved!"

There were cheers from the crowd.

Zhong Cheng was a little speechless. If he couldn't move, they, the project team, should jump into the river.

The brand-new off-road vehicle slowly drove out of the factory gate and drove into the main road of the vehicle testing ground. He turned off the turn signal and stepped on the accelerator with his right foot.

"Wow!"

The power of the electric motor suddenly increased, driving the transmission assembly, and the off-road vehicle rushed out.

Zhong Cheng looked at the dashboard, and the speed was already 80 km/h, which was fast enough.

He drove on the field simulation road section of the vehicle testing ground, the road surface was rough, and stones of all sizes were scattered among them.

But the off-road vehicle was still running fast, and its speed soared to 150 km/h, but Zhong Cheng didn't feel too much shock.

Following him, he drove over waterlogged roads, hillsides, and ditches, and the off-road vehicle seemed to be walking on flat ground. The power and performance were incredible.

In half an hour, the electric off-road vehicle stopped steadily at the gate of the factory building with all the wind and dust.

Zhong Cheng jumped out of the car and touched this tough "guy" with great satisfaction.

At this time, the leaders and on-site personnel watching the test run began to applaud and cheer again, and the staff of the company's publicity department also kept taking pictures.

Mr. Wan, Director Qian and others unanimously asked Mr. Deng to choose a name for this new electric off-road vehicle.

Mr. Deng looked at the domineering and mighty electric off-road vehicle and Zhong Cheng, who was standing beside the vehicle and dressed in military uniform, blurted out:

"Let's call it the Titans of the Day!"
