Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 176 New Requirements for Industrialization

According to Ren Zhong's plan, the development model outside the Great Wall was the same as that of the border areas. Earthen blast furnaces were used to smelt crude iron and steel and then transported them back. This would naturally be much less troublesome than transporting ore.

However, Ren Zhong had no experience of living outside the Great Wall. In winter, it was so cold that it was impossible to mine and transport goods in the wild.

The earthen blast furnace method, a purely natural environment, basically cannot work when it is icy and snowy.

When this question was raised by the front, Ren Zhong realized that he still lacked common sense.

Even in the neighboring border area, the winter in Ikh Ju League is a completely different world.

Faced with this thorny problem, Ren Zhong pondered for a while and shook his head. After all, he still had to go one step further.

If earthen blast furnaces don't work, then we can only evolve towards electric blast furnaces, using electric furnaces to make steel in factories, thus solving the impact of seasonal changes.

But doing so will cause the new steel plant to trigger a series of events.

Due to the huge source of electricity, the energy consumption of electric furnace steelmaking is not a small number. To smelt iron ore to obtain molten iron, at least 5000 kWh of electricity is required for each ton of molten iron. The co-production of molten iron into steel requires more than 600 kWh of electricity. Adding the energy consumption of various auxiliary systems, it is easy to consume 6000 kWh of electricity from iron ore to qualified steel.

In Ikh Ju League, there is no hope for hydropower as the ground freezes into ice in the winter. The only option is to use thermal power plants to generate electricity using the coal that is everywhere.

Although Ren Zhong also provided a complete set of information for the 30MW coal-fired power generation unit, this set does not yet have a generator that large enough to match the previous boiler design. The hydropower department has just mastered the 5MW generator core device, which means that the steam turbine power generation now has to reduce the blades to match this power generation core. Not only the steam turbine, but also the boiler system design must be significantly modified to reduce the amount of steam generated and significantly reduce the thermal power output.

Next is the coal transportation system. The thermal power subsystems are much more than hydropower.

Ren Zhong doesn't even know when this unit can be developed.

But no matter what, we have to develop thermal power units now.

Fortunately, there were design references. Ren Zhong selected a group of researchers from centers such as power, mechanical research, and electronics research to start designing the 5M thermoelectric system.

At the same time, the design of electric furnace steelmaking also began. In this regard, Ren Zhong found a set of steelmaking furnaces from the late 50s in the main world. The main feature was that the level was low and easy to implement.

However, there are many subsystems involved, and it is also necessary to develop a large number of ore crushing and transmission systems to reduce the large amount of manpower in steel mills.

Not only the system, but also the factory building had to be built from scratch.

This house can no longer be stuffed into the cave, so Ren Zhong referred to the steel frame house in the main world, adopted a steel frame and iron roof partition mode, and modularized house construction to minimize construction time.

There are no major problems with tinplate production now. With the availability of stamping machines, the processing and forming of tinplate has become mature.

Ren Zhong plans to build a sample of a modern steel plant and thermal power plant 3 kilometers outside the core area of ​​the Dawn Research Institute. However, this will add a very conspicuous building to the ground. The factory building is more than ten to twenty meters high and is indeed not easy to conceal.

Ren Zhong outlined the blueprints for the steel plant and thermal power plant, divided them into independent tasks and assigned them accordingly. He could only ignore the safety aspect for now.

After all, Ren Zhong has no good way to solve the threat brought by this new change. Although the 20mm anti-aircraft gun has been successfully developed, not only can the production capacity not be increased in the short term, but more importantly, it does not pose much threat to the air. Now there is no radar warning and computer positioning, and the possibility of hitting an aircraft in the sky by manual aiming is too low.

If the Japanese pilots had been a little prepared and made some evasive maneuvers, it would have been too difficult to do so relying on the machine guns on the ground with a firing height of more than 1000 meters.

Perhaps in order to deal with the Japanese planes, the only way under the current circumstances is to cut off the source of the problem and go to the airport to destroy the Japanese planes first!
The mass production of basic electronic components such as permanent magnets, transistors, resistors, and capacitors has finally freed the Red Star radio and radio station from their dependence on components from the main world and has begun mass production. The border area has long been looking forward to the scale of this product, after all, this product is too useful for controlling the battlefield.

According to the plan of the Border Region General Staff, if walkie-talkies are popularized in the battalion, combat efficiency will be improved by at least 20%, and even more for complex terrains!

The Red Star walkie-talkie not only replaced the backward battlefield wired telephones, but also served as the eyes of the artillery, continuously amplifying the power of the now growing Eighth Route Army artillery.

From the 82mm mortar to the current S41 mountain gun, they all have the ability to strike beyond visual range. As for the newly developed 107 fire, it has the ultra-long-range strike capability of this era. They are highly dependent on walkie-talkies.

According to the current needs of the troops, the number of Red Star walkie-talkies must be at least a thousand.

The demand for batteries in such a huge quantity is beyond the control of Ren Zhong. Currently, Liangjian World’s lead-acid batteries are still a little short of self-production. They have just passed the successful laboratory preparation, but it is obvious that the production efficiency of the laboratory production model cannot meet such a huge demand.

Therefore, at this stage, Ren Zhong’s suggestion is to equip each walkie-talkie with two people, one to carry a hand-cranked generator to generate electricity manually, and the other to observe and report.

Although this increased the risk for the frontline messengers, this had to be overcome. Ren Zhong always returned from the main world with a full load of goods.

Necessary technical information, oceans, and rare metals that cannot be obtained in the Bright Sword plane. Now Ren Zhong's merchandise has developed towards a grocery store, so much so that before crossing over, Ren Zhong has to make a good plan for the goods he brings and confirm what he must bring back next time.

As the stall expanded, Ren Zhong had almost no free time every time he brought goods.

main world.

The task of returning is now very cautious.

The crisis caused by Zhao Lidong was temporarily closed after a thorough search by relevant Hong Kong agencies yielded no results. Zhao Lidong got his bail back and regained his freedom.

However, Ren Zhong knew that these were just appearances. According to the current situation, the Rogue Eagles would not give up so easily. They would only move underground for further investigation.

Ren Zhong’s response to this was also very simple, which was to temporarily avoid any contact with the dark web.

He now uses different VPNs to collect public information, and uses a different VPN provider each time he accesses the site. He even sets up his own VPN service on an anonymously purchased cloud server to perform multiple network transfers.

Then deregister these virtual servers after using them for a few days to make it as difficult as possible for any suspicious opponents to track them.

However, what he is searching for now are the actual design data of old thermal power units, diesel units and early electrical equipment to make up for the shortcomings of the primary electrification industrialization in the world of Bright Sword, and to verify and compare them with the unit designs that Ren Zhong brought back to the world of Bright Sword. Just like the diesel units that Ren Zhong brought back, even if the design level was from the 1970s and 1980s, they have already surpassed the times by a lot. Only after comparing and referring to the old designs can we understand the context of development.

The 30MW thermal power unit was considered a very advanced unit design in the 40s. Both the boiler and the steam turbine generator had very high requirements for materials and manufacturing levels.

It's like giving advanced mathematics to someone at the level of an elementary school student all of a sudden. Even if the answer is given to you, they won't be able to understand it.

Shuttled between two worlds, this is the most painful part for Ren Zhong. Now he understands many things, but it is normal that the experts may not understand them.
