Breaking through Guandong, I became Zhu Chuanwen

Chapter 330 Studying Tractors

Zhu Chuanwen and Mao Guangting returned to the Hanyao Building, and each of them in the office had a cup of good jasmine tea from the capital.

It can only be said that Empress Dowager Cixi has been in power for too long, and many people in the capital still have the habit of drinking this tea. Of course, this has nothing to do with jasmine tea. At least Zhu Chuanwen thinks that it is quite good and fragrant. ... "Guang Ting, how is the shipment of bitter sour from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau?"

"Boss, this is really a bargain for us. The three tons of picric acid have all been passivated, and they have been shipped back by sea. The things that the Qing court bought at a huge price are now in our warehouse!" Mao Guangting said. Just laughed, a whole 3 tons, it would take some time to extract this thing by yourself, and the price is not cheap.

The person in charge of the Institute of Chemistry is still a little bit dark in his heart. He has been in Hanyao for a long time, and he has received more respect. In his heart, he has less and less favor for the Qing court. Doesn’t it mean that the Qing court can’t see it? On the craftsman?Then don't use the good things you bought back, and they will be buried in the soil by the stewards who don't know the technology, which just makes Hanyao turn waste into treasure.

The Hanyao high-explosive bomb powder formula is now inseparable from the doping of picric acid.

"That's good. Our picric acid production line also needs to be tightened up. These will always run out."

"I know the boss, the research institute has already started experiments, trying to choose a low-cost manufacturing method." Mao Guangting said, this is a subject of the chemical research institute in terms of gunpowder technology.

At this moment, Wu Tong, Zhu Chuanwen's secretary, came in and said to Zhu Chuanwen, "Boss, shopkeeper Chu is back!"

"Hey, this old boy is finally back." Zhu Chuanwen nodded, turned his head and cursed at Mao Guangting with a smile.

Afterwards, Chu Keqiu walked in with a dark face, obviously the sun in Europe is not so amiable.

"Old Chu, how is it this time?"

"Boss, you're still so energetic! It's better to be here. I'm not used to eating, eating and sleeping this trip." Chu Keqiu took off his hat after entering, and said with a smile.

"how?"

"Hey, don't mention it. Big cities have their disadvantages. It's really hard to explain." Chu Keqiu said with a smile. Compared with the ice city, it is the same. Because of the development of industry, the pollution in most cities is still serious.

Zhu Chuanwen listened and thought, it seems that the air is not as sweet as some people in later generations think.

"A son doesn't think his mother is ugly, and a dog doesn't think his family is poor." Mao Guangting added in a timely manner.

"Yo, Guangting is here, I almost didn't look at it." Chu Keqiu took off his shirt, feeling a little refreshed, and came up to give Mao Guangting a bear hug. He has the best relationship with Mao Guangting, very casual, and loves to tease This is the little guy.But there is a good saying that what is concentrated is the essence, and this sentence is suitable for the head of the chemical research institute.

"Eat me flying kick! Old Chu, I will prepare a banquet for you tonight, and the boss is going too, so hurry up! Report the progress of this trip, and the boss has left you a lot of work." Mao Guangting Pretending to kick this guy, but said in a slow manner.

"Haha, then you have to have a good meal. It was agreed in advance that I won't go to Madier. The stewed big elbow is more delicious than steak!" Chu Keqiu talked about his own conditions.

Hearing this, Mao Guangting got up and walked behind Chu Keqiu, and slapped him hard on the tanned neck, as revenge for being strangled by a bear just now, trotted out to make arrangements, which was his negligence , Arranged a foreign meal for Lao Chu who just came back from Europe. Didn't he just get rid of Hades and hit the kid again.

Chu Keqiu rubbed his neck, smiled and said to Zhu Chuanwen: "Master, don't blame me, Guangting is happy to see me..."

"Hey, what's the matter, I'm not stubborn." Zhu Chuanwen was happy to see that they had a good relationship.

"Boss, this time I brought back a complete set of power generation, transmission, and distribution. Although the Russian equipment, drawings, and technology are generally not much different from the European mainstream. Isn’t Qingshan power supply a bit wasteful? The electricity bill we pay to Bingcheng’s Russian power plant every year is quite expensive, why don’t you talk to Andre about building a thermal power plant in Bingcheng?” Obviously, Chu Keqiu was also on the way. thought about this question.

"This matter is under the control of Berg, the president of the Ice City Council. This is considered a necessary facility for the Ice City. Most of the profits will go into the city operation funds of the Ice City Council. I also thought about it, but forget it. Build it in Xiaoqingshan."

"Okay, listen to the boss, it seems that Xiaoqingshan will become the pioneer of our Hanyao to complete the electrification reform in the future."

Hanyao is about to enter the reform of electrification. Apart from the continuous reform of the factories in Bingcheng, Xiaoqingshan is directly developing in the direction of electrification this time, and it is best to be in place at one time.

Today, the first industrial revolution and the second industrial revolution are being implemented at different paces in various regions.In fact, it can be seen that many technical inventions in the first industrial revolution actually came from the practice of craftsmen, just like the senior craftsman researcher at the gun research institute, these craftsmen do not have complete theoretical knowledge, so it can be said , the first industrial revolution was a revolution in which science and technology were not fully integrated.

To give some examples, Hargreaves, the inventor of the spinning jenny, was a weaver, and Arkwright, the inventor of the spinning jenny, was a watchmaker.

This is actually the reason why the interval between the first and second industrial revolutions was so short.

Now that Hanyao is going to carry out electrification reforms, science and technology will be closely linked. This is why Zhu Chuanwen took advantage of his wife's opportunity to conduct demonstrations to connect several research institutes into one. Science guides technology. The direction of continuous development.

"That's right, Xiaoqingshan is about to become a pioneer, and it needs to develop better. The trade union has already started the training of reserve workers, and the industrial park around Xiaoqingshan has also started the construction of the foundation. When you come back this time, we will There are several research directions here, for electrification reform, your No. [-] Ironware Factory is a doctor, and you have to hurry up if you want to give us Hanyao the knife!"

Hearing the order from his boss, Chu Keqiu also got up and took out the notebook from his purse, and started to record, but he was very excited. If he had a position at this time, it would be the chief designer of Hanyao's electrification reform... …

"Boss, tell me!" Chu Keqiu took a few deep breaths to calm himself down.He knew that his owner's construction of a thermal power plant in Xiaoqingshan was definitely to vigorously develop Xiaoqingshan. The steel factory could foresee it, but he really couldn't understand how other industries would be laid out.Anyway, Old Chu knows that his boss is a master who does not suffer, always has his own ideas and vision beyond ordinary people, and he is right.

"The first is the thermal power plant technology reserve. With this thermal power plant, I allow you to build it slowly, but the technology in it needs to be studied, pondered, and even imitated.

In recent years, Bingcheng has developed rapidly, and the use of electricity will become more and more common. In the future, it will definitely cause a shortage of electricity.Now Berg is begging us to use electricity, and in the future, we may be begging him to give us electricity, so instead of being controlled by others in the future, the thermal power plant technology belonging to Hanyao has to be developed, and it will be in Russia in the ice city in a few years The electricity generated by the power plant is in short supply, and it doesn't matter to Berg whether we use it or not. "

Hanyao's thermal power plant in Bingcheng still needs to be built, but it has to be put back!After Zhu Chuanwen finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and threw another one to Chu Keqiu.After a pause, he continued.

"Secondly, it is wool spinning. Compared with the inland spinning mills, we are too far away from the supply of raw materials. We can't match this. However, we also have advantages. The grassland is our cornucopia. The weather in the north is cold. , Wool spinning has great potential. The establishment of the wool spinning mill is the second major consumer of electricity after the steel mill in Xiaoqingshan. I have collected some mature technologies from the United States for you. You start to study the industrialization of wool spinning. What do you do? refer to."

Chu Keqiu memorized it, and asked Zhu Chuanwen, "Boss, is it still the old way?"

"Well, buy a mature production line and imitate it in the later stage! Increase the scale!"

"Then it's not difficult." Chu Keqiu patted his chest, learning first and then doing it. This is Hanyao's old method. The Second Iron Ware Factory has done a good job in this aspect over the years.

"Okay, I'll transfer a sum of money to you." Zhu Chuanwen is planning to use Hanyao's cash cow - coal sales. Since January, a lot of money has been saved from the coal yard, and now it is returned to the Yasuda Chamber of Commerce Provide coal, the money has been coming in, this is reserved for Chu Keqiu and Xiaoqingshan Steel Plant. "Finally, it's the internal combustion engine. You saw a lot of running cars in Europe this time, right?"

"See, there are the most cars on the streets of Berlin, Germany, and their parking is really interesting." Chu Keqiu was a little excited. Is Hanyao finally going to start making things that can run?This is what he is most interested in. Relying on his steam engine, the steam engine ship that swims in the water has already accumulated some technology, but due to the conditions in Heilongjiang Province, it is impossible to build a larger dock. doing research.

This time it was changed to running on the ground, which can be said to be Chu Keqiu's second excited point. This is part of his observations in Europe, and he was thinking about how to tell his boss...

While thinking about it, Chu Keqiu made gestures about the interesting thing he met in Berlin, which made Zhu Chuanwen feel refreshed.

The 20th century was really a creative era. Now there is a Benz car on the streets of Germany, with 5 wheels, 4 wheels on the ground, and one on the front.This is not a spare tire, but it can take off and land when parking, which makes street parking in Germany much more convenient, and another point is anti-collision.

These days, traffic lights are not popular, and the speed of cars in urban areas is not very fast, and car designers have begun to consider preventing pedestrians from being hit when designing cars.

"Are there no traffic lights on the streets in Germany?" Zhu Chuanwen was a little puzzled when he heard Chu Keqiu's words.

"Traffic lights?" Chu Keqiu thought for a while, "I've heard about the boss in London, I don't know if it's what you're talking about."

When it comes to traffic lights, the earliest birth can be traced back to London in the early 19th century. The choice of red and green colors is related to the women in Britain at that time. Women wear red and green clothes to distinguish their identities: red clothes represent married , green dress also means unmarried.At that time, carriage accidents often occurred in front of the Westminster Parliament Building in London, England. Inspired by women's red and green outfits, British railway signal light engineers proposed the idea of ​​designing traffic lights with red and green colors.

The idea is easy to realize, but it is controlled manually. As the first gas traffic light exploded more than 20 days after it was launched, the policeman on duty that day died because of it. up the garbage dump.

Since then, the appearance of traffic lights can be said to be a few years later.

The two chatted for a while about the appearance of traffic lights, but Zhu Chuanwen changed the topic, "Old Chu, but what I want now is not a car!"

Chu Keqiu was a little puzzled, didn't his boss discuss the car with him for a long time?
"What I want is a tractor driven by a diesel internal combustion engine!" Zhu Chuanwen got up as he said, and took out a stack of materials from his desk. It was full of American media reports on the Holt crawler tractor manufacturing company, as well as his description of the crawler tractor. Imagination of a tractor, but this chassis is really a bit like a water tank!

Holt tractor, as the world's first crawler tractor with diesel internal combustion engine, its appearance is actually quite epoch-making.

Its appearance has gone through many twists and turns, because at this time, many regions in Europe already had the concept of tractors, most of which were steam tractors, and there were hundreds of tractor patents, but the prototypes produced failed in the test.Benjamin Holt, the inventor of the Holt tractor, may be the halo of the name.Among the people who studied tractors, Benjamin Holt succeeded, and successively developed steam tractors and diesel internal combustion engine tractors.

[Holt-40, the biggest contributor to Los Angeles water diversion] Such headlines appeared in American newspapers and were seen by Chu Keqiu.

From 1908 to 1909, 100 "Holt-40" crawler tractors were introduced by the government to participate in the Los Angeles water diversion project. This move constantly refreshed the progress of the project, and some Americans turned their attention to this construction site Collectively, the unparalleled towing force of the Holt-40 tractor has attracted many people's attention.According to US media reports, the Los Angeles water diversion project is expected to be officially completed in 1913, about a year earlier than the original plan.

This attracted Zhu Chuanwen's attention. He bought 5 Holt-40 tractors, 4 of which have been put to work in the field, and 1 has been transported to the No. [-] Ironware Factory, waiting for Chu Keqiu, the leader of the research institute.

"So, boss, do you want Hanyao to imitate this tractor?" Chu Keqiu also read the information given by his boss at this time. If he doesn't understand the meaning of such a profound homework, he should find a place to crash it to death.

"Yes, it is this crawler tractor. The Songnen Plain is vast and full of black soil. Manual cultivation is still slow. This time I have purchased 5 tractors from the United States, and one of them is already in your iron The second factory is here, disassemble them, learn from them, the most important thing is to create a corresponding complete production line, this task is not limited in time, but it must not stop, I will increase financial support this year!"

It can be said that everything is ready for this matter, the only thing that needs to be done is to ask for it!

In fact, according to the technology that Hanyao has accumulated now, there is nothing difficult except for the internal combustion engine. The production of tractors can definitely be manufactured. The most difficult part is actually the design of the production line and some parameters that Zhu Chuanwen requires.

In fact, tractors with large and small wheels in later generations have passed the test of time. In fact, if Zhu Chuanwen gave this direction, it would be of greater help to the agricultural production of Zhujialiangpu, but he just took a fancy to this tracked tractor. Design, what to do in the future, this already has a different blueprint in the mind of the head coach of the insurance team.

After the two talked about the directions of the three research institutes, Mao Guangting came in while they were chatting, with two jars of wine in their hands.

"Old Chu, you are really enjoying yourself. The serious Huadiao, the wine from your hometown, I am fully prepared this time!"

Mao Guangting just went out to buy wine. According to Chu Keqiu's own request, no matter how delicious the steak is, it can't compare to the elbow, so no matter how good the foreign wine is, it can't compare to the Hua Diao from his hometown.

"Haha, let's go to Old Chu, I'll cleanse you up!" Zhu Chuanwen also stood up, the task has been arranged, Chu Keqiu has a heavy task in the future, and he is also responsible for upgrading the entire Hanyao system industry, so today he Treating guests, while welcoming old Chu, it is also a practice for this pioneer in Hanyao's industrial development!

Under the contact of Zhu Chuanwen, Qu Zhengqian and Nie Shi gathered in the southern restaurant in Bingcheng.

In the past, there were many Shanxi dishes, Qilu dishes, or Kanto-specific restaurants in Bingcheng. However, with the efforts of Hanyao, these southern artisans who can’t stand the cold have also increased in Bingcheng. One winter can be regarded as adaptation. The weather in the Kanto region has changed, this person came, and the restaurant opened accordingly.

"Boss, the good dishes are served, and today there is a rich patron paying the bill." Chu Keqiu said to the shopkeeper when he entered the door.

"Okay, please, please!" The owner of the restaurant immediately greeted him, but then he was dumbfounded, this battle!
Chu Keqiu took a step ahead. He came to order food. Behind him were Zhu Chuanwen and others, and behind them were groups of guards.

The arrival of Zhu Chuanwen caused the crowd to clap their fists and shout, which was a bit like the stars holding the moon.He doesn't like to disturb the people, and he doesn't like to rent out the place, but there must be safety measures. After he is seated, he stands guard at the door, guards who take turns eating, guards who observe the movement on the street, and hunters who are always making emergency plans and preparing another carriage. The necessary homework for this Han Yao's family to go out for dinner.
