Homo sapiens.

Chapter 193 Addition (addition)
The Hongshawadi branch is still adjusting the plan to adapt to new materials.

As for the Luzon branch, many new materials have entered the application projects.

For example, the gas turbine project that Li Qingye was investigating at this time.

The gas turbine project in Luzon started a long time ago. When Homo sapiens had just made a lot of profits, the gas turbine project was established.

The Gas Turbine Research Institute has been established for more than two years. It has not only completed the research and development and mass production of small and medium-sized gas turbines, but also developed several relatively poor large-scale gas turbines.

Aida, the person in charge of the research institute (who also serves as the general manager of Luzon Electric Company), and Zhang Chengyu, the chief technical officer, are introducing the research results to Li Qingye in a cautious manner.

Although Zhang Chengyu has the arrogance of a technician, he is really not arrogant in front of Li Qingye, and introduced very respectfully:

"Chairman, at present, our company can already produce various types of gas turbines. Especially after using new materials, the weight, energy consumption ratio and service life of large gas turbines have been greatly improved."

Li Qingye looked through their product parameters and compared the gas turbine data of General Electric, Siemens, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in the database. There is not much difference between the two sides.

In the production workshop in front of you, a heavy-duty gas turbine is being assembled.

"What model is this gas turbine?"

Ada hurriedly replied: "It's our ZX-200, which is mainly used for thermal power generation. The power generation capacity is 200 megawatts, the thermal efficiency is 58.6%, and the operating temperature of the combustion chamber is 1600 degrees Celsius."

"Yes, you need to increase the scale of production. In the future, thermal power plants, large ships, nuclear power plants, and even cars and trains will need gas turbines." Li Qingye nodded in satisfaction.

Although it is a little worse than Siemens' thermal efficiency of 63%, compared with Dongfang Gas Turbine Company in Huaguo, whose thermal efficiency is only about 50%, Luzon Electric Company is already very good.

What's more, Siemens has been working in the gas turbine industry for hundreds of years, and it is normal for there to be a gap.

"We will continue to work hard to create better gas turbines for the company." Ada was a little excited.

When Zhang Chengyu heard about the gas turbines in the automobile industry, he thought about the company's plan to invest and build a factory in Siam some time ago, so he asked cautiously:

"Chairman, now we can produce our own materials and parts. What level of technology do we need to use to produce micro gas turbines in Siam?"

He asked this because there are some materials in Homo sapiens, which use products with a relatively high level of confidentiality.

It is better kept secret when used in power stations and ships.

As for the car, it is not easy to keep it secret. After all, the car must be oriented to the private market.

Li Qingye touched his chin, and then gave instructions: "Mainly use Grade C materials, and a small amount of Grade B materials can be used."

"I understand." Zhang Chengyu suddenly understood.

Luzon Electric Company will definitely enter the gas vehicle market.

Many of the gas car engines in the Homo sapiens control area were modified from gasoline engines. This is an expedient measure.

This kind of gas engine modified from a gasoline engine is not specially designed, not only the thermal efficiency of the gas is not high, but also there are certain safety hazards.

Therefore, the design of specialized micro gas turbines has become the core factor to promote the development of gas vehicles.

Zhang Chengyu made a rough estimate. Although the use of Class C and Class B materials will reduce the service life, this is also one of the unspoken rules of civilian products.

Using Homo sapiens' Class A materials, the service life of the gas turbine can reach about 40 to [-] years, and if it is properly maintained, the service life can even be doubled.

Civilian cars obviously don't need this kind of service life.

Its engine only needs about 15 years of service life.

Of course, this is only the design service life. It does not mean that the engine can only be used for 15 years, but that the thermal efficiency can be maintained stably within 15 years. After this service life is exceeded, the thermal efficiency will decrease and the failure rate will increase.

According to Zhang Chengyu's estimation, the thermal efficiency of gas turbines for civil vehicles only needs to reach about 50%, and the service life is only 15 years.

而目前一般的民用汽油机、柴油机、天然气发动机，其热效率分别在30～35%、35～45%、40～50%之间。

The micro gas turbines equipped by Luzon Electric Company for civilian vehicles have a thermal efficiency of 50%, which is actually a mid-to-high-end product on the market.

Although it can be further improved, it is not necessary.

When producing a product, we must consider the cost performance, rather than blindly pursuing high performance.

If a micro gas turbine with a thermal efficiency of 58% is used, the production cost may increase by two or three times.

For a two-sided civilian car with a service life of only more than ten years, this is not worth the candle.

Although Li Qingye doesn't care much about the economic benefits in the internal circulation.

However, the automobile industry must enter the external circulation of the global market, which determines that the automobile industry must pay attention to economic benefits.

"Ada."

"Chairman please order."

"You can arrange the Siam branch as soon as possible. You can establish a joint venture brand with Chiang Mai Group, and then bring it back to Luzon for sale."

Ada nodded: "Yes, I will implement it as soon as possible."

"By the way, don't produce the core components in Siam for the time being, as the place has not stabilized yet." Li Qingye's subtext is actually that the place has not been cleaned up yet, and there is a risk of leaks.

"I will definitely do a good job in this area and promise not to leak the company's secrets."

Li Qingye asked the two of them to lead the way again: "Let's go and see the production area of ​​marine gas turbines!"

"plz follow me."

Taking a sightseeing electric car, they passed through a large park-like partition area before arriving at another production workshop.

This production workshop produces various types of marine gas turbines, as well as supporting marine bearings and propellers.

in the workshop.

"Chairman, this is a C-20 gas turbine with a maximum power generation of 20 megawatts, a maximum horsepower of 2.7 horsepower, and a thermal efficiency of 42.2%."

"What about the weight?"

Zhang Chengyu explained: "It was 37 tons before, but now it is 18.6 tons."

"The addition of materials is very obvious!" Li Qingye smiled and shook his head.

"The new materials developed by the chairman are too good. Otherwise, it would be difficult for us to reduce the weight. In fact, we have not fully realized the potential of the materials." Zhang Chengyu replied very respectfully.

Li Qingye waved his hand: "Then continue to tap the potential, as long as the design keeps up, we will not lose to any company."

"That is, we are still confident about this." Zhang Chengyu was full of confidence.

If they still acted like the mud couldn't support the wall with such powerful materials, then Li Qingye would probably send them back to the furnace for rebuilding.

"The power of the C-20 is still a bit small. Now the marine gas turbines in Europe and the United States have reached the 30-40 megawatt level, and you have to make persistent efforts."

Zhang Chengyu nodded: "The research institute is already setting up a project to develop the next generation of C-30 and C-40."

After investigating the gas turbine industry of Luzon Electric, Li Qingye is generally satisfied.

Although there are no products surpassing European and American companies, the overall level is already approaching rapidly.

As long as Ada, Zhang Chengyu and others don't get caught in the water in the future, this subsidiary can basically be self-reliant, and there is no need to secretly subsidize the production of products like before.
