If you cheat, money will follow

Helan Mountain.

Its tall peaks weaken the invasion of northwest alpine air currents;

The lush vegetation resists the eastward expansion of desert sand.

It is like a solid barrier, silently guarding "Fortress Jiangnan".

after one day.

Chang Le and Jiang Zhicheng came to Helan Mountain.

Climb to a relatively flat uninhabited highland and meet up with Wang Mingzhi and others.

On this flat highland, 7 gray pillars have been erected.

It is 100 meters high and 3 meters in diameter, thin at the top and thick at the bottom.

The seemingly random layout actually fits the distribution points of Karman vortex street vortices.

Compared with traditional wind power generation, there are no blades and impellers.

Below the high ground, on the mountainside, many soldiers can be seen.

They have controlled this highland and strictly prohibit anyone from entering or exiting.

"Experiments are still dangerous, and everything must be controlled." Wang Mingzhi introduced to Chang Le:

"According to model calculations and our previous experimental data, once wind resonance is triggered, the sky above and around this highland will be covered by manic winds."

"Are these pillars filled with generator sets?" Chang Le asked.

"Yes, boss." Wang Mingzhi nodded and said:

"The generator set we specially developed based on the Karman vortex principle has a completely different structure than traditional wind power generation."

"Because of the material, it can easily withstand very large currents without overloading the electric heat."

"Each pillar is a generator set, and the rated power is initially set at 100 megawatts because we have not tested its upper limit."

"100 megawatts?" Chang Le smacked his lips.

Jiang Zhicheng was naturally very surprised.

This power is already very terrifying, it is 6.66 times the power of the largest wind turbine in the world.

Currently, the world's most powerful wind turbine is in Denmark.

The name is V236, and the power is 15 megawatts, or kilowatts.

The length of a single blade of V236 is 115.5 meters, and the diameter of the impeller is 236 meters.

The impeller sweep area is up to square meters, equivalent to the size of 6.1 standard football fields.

Therefore, the daily power generation capacity of V236 is 36.3 kWh.

Well, V236 takes the traditional technical route.

Wang Mingzhi explained: “Boss, Secretary Jiang, the technical route of the Karmen vortex generator set is different from traditional wind power generation.”

"We use very cutting-edge technical materials that are harder, tougher, more resistive... and work at a faster frequency."

"Take the short, flat and fast route."

Take a car engine as an analogy:

Traditional wind power is a high-horsepower naturally aspirated luxury car;

The Karman vortex generator set is a small-displacement, high-power F1 racing car.

The materials used are essentially different, and the performance cannot be compared.

"Well, I'm really looking forward to seeing how powerful these things can be."

Chang Le patted the surface of the gray column and felt a different touch from traditional metal materials. It was not cold.

"Boss, don't worry, it will definitely exceed your imagination." Wang Mingzhi smiled mysteriously.

Then, he asked into the intercom: "Are all groups ready?"

"Team A is ready!"

"Team B is ready!"

"Team C is ready!"

"Okay, let's go down the mountain." Wang Mingzhi led the two of them back to the mountainside.

There are several temporary wooden houses on the mountainside, and the wooden houses are the control rooms of the generating units.

In the control room, there is a row of operation management and monitoring equipment, which displays the external scene in real time and monitors the internal status of the generator set in real time.

There is also a leader from the army in the control room, wearing an epaulette with one spike and two stars.

Dressed rigorously, with a serious temperament and a strict manner, he is completely different from others.

But even the general was curious.

How do these pillars without blades or impellers generate electricity?

As soon as Jiang Zhicheng stepped into the control room, the general greeted him.

"Hello, Secretary Jiang, you are here too."

"Haha, just like you, I'm curious about how this thing generates electricity."

"This must be the famous Mr. Chang."

"Where is the name? Just call me Chang Le."

"In our case, that's not a false reputation. You have to admire it very much."

"Thank you for the compliment, I still need to work hard."

"Every group prepares!" Wang Mingzhi began to issue orders.

"Power on!"

Suddenly, there was a "buzz" sound and the equipment started to operate.

"Monitoring frequency..."

"Frequency monitoring completed."

"Docking frequency."

"Docking frequency completed."

"Whoosh..." The wind began to howl.

In the surveillance screen:

Originally it was blue sky, white clouds, breeze, green trees, green grass...it soon changed.

The seven tall gray columns began to sway alternately in the wind.

As time goes by, the swing amplitude changes from large to small, and the frequency changes from slow to fast.

The wind is no longer gentle and gentle, but violent and restless;

The wind is no longer whispering, but roaring wildly.

It carried dust, leaves, and sand and ravaged the highlands.

This highland has completely become a world of flying sand and rocks and yellow sand all over the sky.

"Resonance!"

Wang Mingzhi issued the last order.

As soon as the words are said, good guy.

On the high ground, the sky was filled with yellow sand.

In an instant, seven clockwise and counterclockwise vortex storms were formed that connected the sky and the earth.

The seven gray pillars no longer swing, but tremble.

What is tremor?

Think for yourself.

The scene in front of them completely subverted Jiang Zhicheng and the general's expectations.

"Is this a man-made storm?!"

"Awesome! Technology has developed to this point."

Under the tremor, the generator set was running wildly. In just five minutes, the power generated by a single generator set exceeded tens of thousands of kWh.

Half an hour later, a single generator unit had generated 6 kWh.

One hour later, the power generated by a single generating unit exceeded 1 kWh.

There are 7 generating units with a total power generation capacity of 80 kWh.

The efficiency is astonishing and terrifying.

Chang Le looked at the continuously jumping power generation and was surprised and silent: "..."

The problem is coming.

According to theory, a 100-megawatt generator set can generate up to 1 kWh of electricity per hour.

Seven 7-megawatt generating units can generate up to 100 kilowatt-hours of electricity per hour.

Can it still exceed the rated power?

of course can.

Traditional wind turbines have rated power.

The rated power is the optimal power of the generator set.

Setting the rated power has two purposes.

One is to protect the generator set from being overloaded.

Once the output power exceeds the rated power, overload will occur, causing the generator to overheat and burn out, and even cause serious safety accidents.

The second is to protect the stable operation of the power grid.

Wind power is integrated into the grid, and the input power will also be limited by the grid.

When the generator output power exceeds the capacity of the grid, it may cause grid abnormalities or even collapse.

However, this kind of problem is not a problem in the face of cross-era materials.

The spider silk protein material ensures that the generator set can operate in various extremely harsh environments without fear of small natural storms caused by resonance.

The generator set made of superconducting materials ensures that it will not overheat and burn out when the output power is greater than the rated power.

There is no resistance, so why does it overheat?

The experiment is over.

In the control room, warm applause broke out instantly.

Jiang Zhicheng is calculating how many kilowatt-hours of electricity this equipment can generate in one year.

How many sets of equipment are needed to meet the needs of the whole country.

One set of equipment can generate 1 kWh in one hour;

One day is 1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity;

In one year, that is 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity.

In 2020, the total electricity consumption nationwide was 7.51 trillion kWh.

In other words, 1073 sets of equipment can basically meet the national electricity demand.

Considering various special situations, up to 2000 sets.

Artifact!
