Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 210 209 Zhetong Electric Power has arrived, the savior is here!

All these trucks cannot be found by just one logistics company, and they are put together by several large logistics companies.

The first convoy from Quanhe to Binhai consisted of thirteen large transport vehicles, but this time the convoy from the Binhai plant of Zhetong Electric Power Group to Shancheng created a record within the group.

There were more than eighty large transport trucks alone, all filled with containers.

This time, Lin Zhe also chose other methods, combining rail and road transportation. After all, it is a long way for so many vehicles to travel from Binhai to Shancheng. They have to drive more than 1,600 kilometers on the highway, and this distance has a lot of uncertainty.

Moreover, compared with the mobile power supply vehicles in the factory area, these large transport vehicles do not have such good shock absorption measures. Such a long distance is also a burden for the "Volt Ants".

So to be on the safe side, Lin Zhe also arranged combined road and rail transport this time.

These containers are full of "Volt Ants" produced in the factory. They will first be loaded onto transport vehicles, then sent to the coastal railway freight center, and then sent to the mountain city by rail.

After all, trains are much more stable than road transport.

After hundreds of factory workers worked hard, the containers were finally filled up that evening and then sent to transport vehicles.

……

"All departments are ready, all departments are ready, the convoy has finished loading and is ready to go."

After hearing the voice from the intercom, several vehicles from the traffic control department at the factory gate also turned on their police lights, followed by motorcycle guards.

With them taking the lead, driving this big truck became much easier. All we had to do was follow the people ahead and go forward.

Led by the vehicles of the traffic control department, cars from the Binhai plant of Zhetong Electric Power Group also drove out.

The railway freight side had also been notified long ago, and the staff were waiting early in the freight station on the outskirts of the city.

Like some cities, the railway freight station in Binhai is also located somewhere else in the suburbs and is completely separate from the passenger station.

Generally, railway freight is contracted by large companies or express delivery companies that provide unified transportation.

This time we also received an order from Zhetong Electric Power. When the staff saw the red and blue lights turned on at night, they also raised the railings.

……

The next morning, there was no damage to the hotel room where Lin Zhe stayed, but it could be seen in the lobby.

The lobby of this kind of top-notch hotel is naturally always brightly lit, and it always remains brightly lit even during the day.

But now the spacious hall has lost its former grandeur. Except for the front desk and necessary lighting, all other lights are turned off. This is also a requirement under the "energy-saving mode".

They didn't have breakfast in the hotel. After Lin Zhe, Zhang Yuliang and Ruyi went out, they found a small noodle restaurant. Since they came to the mountain city, they definitely had to try this noodle.

After walking on the road for just a few minutes, Lin Zhe once again felt the warmth of the mountain city.

"I can't live without air conditioning in this weather."

"Yes, now I guess all the air conditioners in Shancheng that can operate are turned on."

After walking to the noodle shop, they felt a little cooler.

After eating noodles, Zhang Chen parked his car in front of the noodle shop.

Last night, the Binhai factory transported the container full of "Volt Ants" to the train station overnight, and a special freight train from Binhai to Shancheng is currently on the way.

According to the railway department's estimate, we will reach the mountain city around 11 am.

At present, Shancheng has made preparations. The transportation company's trucks are ready and waiting at the Shancheng Railway Freight Station. Once the special train of Zhetong Electric Power arrives, they will be handed over and then transported to the Zhetong Electric Power Plant in Andan District.

During these few months, Lin Zhe had naturally made full preparations.

Now in Shancheng, there are not only a group of people that Zhetong Electric Power has recruited in advance from the Binhai plant, but also local people who have been recruited in advance from Shancheng.

In the previous few times, especially the time from Quanhe to Binhai, Lin Zhe suffered from the lack of manpower.

At that time, several major power plants under its control rushed to Binhai to provide assistance, and even the old power plant in Shima Town transferred a number of people out, so that the city could barely hold on.

This also caused the staff in places like the old Factory 1, Factory 2, and Mingpu Factory to be stretched to the limit, and everyone had to work overtime to maintain normal operations.

So this time Lin Zhe made arrangements early on. He recruited more than 500 people in Binhai and Quanhe in advance, and more than 800 people in Shancheng.

Then a "training team" was transferred from the Fengxiang factory.

The people in Factory 2 are the main force. They are all senior electricians, which is the highest level on the electrician certificate. Needless to say, their abilities are beyond words.

In addition, Lin Zhe also specially asked Engineer Wang to go to the old factory and send him on a "mission".

At the beginning, Lin Zhe intended to let Wang Shuqing be in charge of the factory in Shancheng. After all, Lin Zhe had seen through the old man. There was nothing wrong with his health. It was just that when he got older, he was more ambitious than most people.

The work in a factory is very organized and impeccable, but you might get bored after working there for a long time.

But Mr. Wang initially complained that it was too far from home, which was true. The mountain city was nearly a thousand kilometers away from the forest city.

Now that there is this opportunity, it is natural for him to come out. On the one hand, it is really good for these new employees to hear Mr. Wang talk about his experiences. On the other hand, it also allows Mr. Wang to be "enriched". To use the fashionable words now, it means to provide Mr. Wang with some "emotional value".

……

With the training of these people, more than a thousand people at the Shancheng factory are now ready and can start work at any time.

Buick also sent its cars over, and they are on the way just like the containers, but they were transported by land, using a large trailer. This gave the Buick people a headache.

There are a total of 400 vehicles, and the transport trucks in their factory alone are not enough to carry them, especially vehicles like the Buick Falcon, which are several sizes larger than sedans.

Therefore, it was only possible with the help of friendly partners to arrange transport vehicles, and now the convoys have entered the mountain city in batches.

……

Zhou Haipeng has been looking gloomy lately and has hardly smiled. He lives in Shancheng County, but has made a name for himself in business with his brain and means. He owns five houses in the main city alone.

He has a food factory and hundreds of employees. When the profit is good, he can earn hundreds of dollars a year. When the profit is bad, he can still make a minimum of 400,000 or 500,000 yuan. He lives a very comfortable life, but these two days have made him very worried.

Just this year, I got to know someone from a bank through a friend, and after some effort, I finally made up my mind to get a loan of a considerable amount.

He invested all the money in the factory to expand production capacity.

If nothing unexpected happened, there would be no problem. The factory had already found a good sales channel after expanding it. With a few years of stable operation, the bank loan could be repaid, and I could also take this opportunity to move to a higher level.

As a native of a mountain city, Zhou Haipeng knows clearly that 80% of the main urban areas will enter a wave of "energy-saving mode" every summer, but he is not afraid.

Because his factory is located in the lower districts and counties, the "energy conservation" in the main urban area has never affected the districts and counties and had no impact on production.

But who would have thought that just a few months ago, after he expanded production capacity, trouble would arise in this first summer.

Because it is so hot this summer, the temperature has reached a new high, and the electricity consumption in the main urban area has also skyrocketed.

For example, Zhang Balian's household electricity bill was only 40 or 50 yuan a month in spring and autumn, but these days, the monthly electricity bill is at least 200 or 300 yuan.

It’s not for any other reason, it’s because the air conditioner at home, which is a big electricity consumer, is also turned on 24 hours a day.

Situations like Zhang Balian's are the mainstream in the mountain city. Everyone turns on the air conditioner and uses it freely, otherwise this summer will be really unbearable.

Not only has electricity consumption skyrocketed, but the drought caused by the high temperature is also continuing. The water level in the river has been dropping again and again, and the power generation of large and small hydropower plants in their Shancheng and Rongcheng areas has also been declining.

The result of this increase in power is a massive electricity shortage.

The temperature in the main urban area of ​​the mountain city is so bad that you can't live without air conditioning. The temperature in other districts and counties is a little better, not that exaggerated.

Therefore, the "energy-saving mode" was also implemented in these small local counties and cities under their jurisdiction.

Zhou Haipeng also received a notice some time ago saying that the power company had begun to restrict electricity usage. As a large electricity consumer, their factory had to suspend production for a period of time and resume power supply and production after the peak period of electricity consumption was over.

When Zhou Haipeng heard the news, he was shocked and went directly to the county power company.

Apart from anything else, he has invested so much this year and all of it was bank loans. He can grit his teeth and endure the direct loss of profits caused by the production suspension in the past few months.

But he cannot bear the indirect losses that this will bring. Apart from anything else, if he does not provide goods to the downstream suppliers for a few months, won't they have to find other ways out?
By then, all the products will be replaced by other companies, and the brand that he has worked hard to build over the years will be ruined. When the products cannot be sold, he will fall into a vicious cycle. Will his factory still be able to exist?

Moreover, this is a bank loan. If he cannot pay it back, it will be the end of his life.

So Zhou Haipeng almost got furious at that time, but the response from the power company was very clear that there was no electricity supply no matter what.

After all, they now have a huge electricity gap, and they have to give priority to ensuring power supply to residents. A factory with a large electricity consumption like theirs consumes as much electricity as a thousand or even tens of thousands of households in a day.

The contrast is quite obvious, so the choice between influencing a few people and influencing thousands of people is clear.

……

Zhou Haipeng was in a bad mood after leaving the power company. He was anxious and irritated the whole day but there was nothing he could do.

He had thought about using dozens of diesel generators, but that was unrealistic and not enough. Moreover, the voltage was extremely unstable and the machines could not be started.

So it's been like this for the past two days, and there's nothing I can do but sigh.

Zhou Haipeng's wife naturally saw all of this, and she was anxious all day long but there was nothing she could do. If this continued, the problem would not be solved, and her husband would become sick from worry.

Thinking of this, Zhou Haipeng's wife also advised him.

No matter what, as long as the person is there, there is a chance, and he is really anxious now and there is nothing he can do. The whole mountain city is like this, so it is better to put it aside and not think about it.

Go fishing or something to relax. Recently, a fishing blogger named He Qiang that Zhou Haipeng often follows is fishing in the county next to theirs. Why not go over and cast a few rods with him?

You know, on weekdays, my wife doesn't object to my fishing, but she definitely doesn't support it.

Now that she said so, Zhou Haipeng could only nod, then packed up his fishing gear and put it in the car, then drove to the next county.

The next county is closer to the main city and is also heading towards the main city, so in order to get there faster, you naturally have to take the highway.

With fishing gear in the trunk, Zhou Haipeng drove to the county highway entrance and then drove towards the main city.

In the past, when I went out at this time, my wife would call me every now and then, whether to check on me or to remind me to be careful.

But today, maybe because I was afraid of upsetting myself, I didn’t call.

Zhou Haipeng was alone on the road, listening to songs quietly while driving. He relaxed and sighed.

At this point, we can only take things one step at a time. Who cares? Anyway, I'm not the Dragon King and I can't control the rain. There's really no point in getting anxious.

Just like that, after breathing a sigh of relief, Zhou Haipeng took out a cigarette and lit it directly in the closed car.

If this happened normally when his wife was sitting in the passenger seat, she would probably have scolded him severely, but now Zhou Haipeng wanted to do something that he couldn't do normally. This was the little bit of rebellion that exists in the heart of a middle-aged man.

My mood improved a little as I drove along the way.

Because his car was an SUV, his driving speed was naturally much faster than that of trucks on the highway, so he kept overtaking some trucks on the fast lane along the way.

However, just as he was about to reach his destination, Zhou Haipeng noticed a large truck in front of him.

"Wow, this is a big trailer for pulling cars. How many cars can it pull with such a long length?"

After talking to himself, Zhou Haipeng slightly stepped on the accelerator and tried to overtake, but just as he got closer, he saw several more cars like this in front of him.

With a curious attitude, Zhou Haipeng glanced to the side a few times without affecting safe driving.

Fixed in rows on the large trailer are pickup trucks, all in yellow, with the same paint scheme and words on them. They must be vehicles used by some company or official unit.

Then he glanced to the side and saw clearly the words on the bodies of the pickup trucks that were being transported.

Zhetong Electric Power!
"I said! Zhetong Electric Power?"

Zhou Haipeng was also startled at this. After stabilizing the steering wheel, he took a deep breath and looked around again, confirming that this was the power supply vehicle of Zhetong Electric Power!
He is very familiar with this highway after so many years of driving on it. It leads to the main urban area of ​​the mountain city!
