Homo sapiens

The Chiang Mai branch of Qingye Motors and its engine research and development team also tested new materials to manufacture micro gas turbines.

In fact, the application of micro gas turbines in automobiles still faces some problems.

For example, the low thermal efficiency in the low-speed idle stage, the noise is too high, and the manufacturing cost is too high.

But in the final analysis, these problems are actually two problems, ideas and materials.

The engine R\u0026D team of Qingye Automobile Company does not use micro gas turbines as direct power, but adopts the idea of ​​​​hybrid power.

The gas turbine is directly used as direct power at high speeds, and electric power is used at medium and low speeds. At the same time, the gas turbine is maintained at high speed to drive the micro generator to generate electricity and charge the lead-acid battery.

There is no need for lithium batteries, solid-state batteries, ternary composite batteries, etc. Safe and cheap lead-acid batteries are the way to go.

In order to support lead-acid batteries, Qingye Automobile has also opened a lead-acid battery factory to produce lead-acid batteries for automobiles. It also uses a sulfur dioxide purifier to eliminate sulfur dioxide emitted by lead-acid batteries.

The noise problem of gas turbines can actually be reduced through design and sound insulation layers.

Finally, there is the issue of thermal efficiency of micro gas turbines. The reason why the thermal efficiency of micro gas turbines is not high is actually related to the inability to carry out multi-stage recycling of waste heat. This aspect is the advantage of large gas turbines.

If multi-stage thermal cycles are to be implemented in a micro gas turbine system, the cost will rise sharply.

So how does Qingye Automobile solve this problem?

In the final analysis, it is still a matter of materials.

Since the thermal efficiency of a single-stage cycle is not high, and multi-stage cycles will make the system more complex and costly, why not increase the pressure and speed?

Just like the supercritical power generation technology of thermal power plants.

With the material support of Homo sapiens company behind it, Qingye Automobile is taking such a technical route.

Increase the combustion chamber pressure of the gas turbine, increase the air intake volume, and increase the impeller speed to 35,000 rpm.

This improvement can further reduce the size of micro gas turbines.

After all, the increase in thermal efficiency also means that the unit power has increased. The power consumption of automobiles has been fixed in a certain range. Therefore, to supply the same power, the size of the new micro gas turbine must be further reduced.

The reduction in size also brings another benefit, that is, the noise will also decrease.

Qingye Automobile's gas turbine technology route is a hybrid power route equipped with various new technologies.

The high thermal efficiency of the gas turbine under high-speed operation is used to charge the lead-acid battery, and the vehicle-mounted lead-acid battery does not require too much. It is enough to run 50 kilometers once fully charged.

After all, this is a hybrid that can be charged anytime and anywhere. It would be a waste of resources to equip it with a large-capacity battery.

…

Wu Haishen, the manager of the branch, listened to the reports of the engine R\u0026D team, transmission R\u0026D team, and transmission system R\u0026D team.

He put down the document in his hand and raised his glasses: "In other words, our various components have basically met the standards?"

"Yes, we have no problem with the engine."

"All five transmissions can be put into use." Guan Jianzhi asked hesitantly: "Manager Wu, will the supply cost of these parts be too high?"

Wu Haishen took out another document and flipped through the parts quotations on it: "No! The overall cost has dropped by about 37%."

"What?" Guan Jianzhi looked like he had seen a ghost.

Immediately, the leaders of other projects also started talking about it.

Apparently they thought that parts suppliers might be playing shoddy tricks, first using high-quality samples at low prices to defraud orders, and then reducing supply.

After listening to everyone's discussion, Wu Haishen shook his head: "Don't worry! No one dares to play tricks on this kind of thing."

As the manager of Spider Web, Wu Haishen knew that Sea Snail New Materials Company was a brother company and part of Homo Sapiens Company.

The reason why it can supply high-quality parts at low prices is that, on the one hand, Qingye Group is its own company, and on the other hand, Haisnail will not lose money.

After all, new materials manufactured using biosynthetic technology not only reduce the number of links compared to traditional smelting, casting, and material reduction processing, but also reduce production costs by a large margin.

This cost advantage must of course be utilized internally.

If it is supplied to outsiders, the price will definitely be higher than similar parts on the market.

After hearing Wu Hai's assurance, Guan Jianzhi and others did not believe it, but they still did not dare to ask questions openly. Anyway, the production line must undergo quality inspection.

All they want in their hearts is that the parts suppliers have some conscience and don't end up in a situation where everyone can't stand up.

After an internal meeting, Qingye Automobile's Chiang Mai branch began full-scale mass production.

…

At this time, Chiang Mai has almost become a construction site.

Six major automobile factories, several motorcycle factories, and a large number of supporting factories require hundreds of thousands of industrial workers.

Siam's population is only 66.17 million, and there is obviously a huge gap in the labor demand for hundreds of thousands of industrial workers.

After all, Siam used to be an agricultural-dominated area. Although there is 12 years of compulsory education and the internal education level is relatively good, it is generally at the high school level, with only a small number of college students.

In addition, Siam admires the Western education model and does not focus on science and engineering.

Industrial workers not only need a certain level of education, but also preferably college students or college students majoring in science and engineering.

It is obviously a bit difficult to ask college students with Western education to become industrial workers. Unless they are desperate, they would rather go to a foreign company or take the civil service examination than become an industrial worker.

Therefore, Homo sapiens companies still need to find a way to solve this problem on their own.

The first construction company of the Chiang Mai Group.

This company contracted the construction project of the Chiang Mai Group's Honor Automobile Factory, and the company recruited a large number of young migrant workers.

Construction workers are divided into teams, squadrons, and brigades, and are subject to strict internal management.

Many squad leaders, squadron leaders, etc. are actually retired from the Thai army. These people have been remade. Scumbags have become soldiers, and those with improvement value have become new human beings.

Shishan Sameng is a retired soldier. Since he had no bad deeds, he was absorbed as a new human being. He was trained at the Chiang Mai Re-employment Training School for more than a month before becoming a squadron leader of a construction company.

In order to adapt to the interpersonal relationships within the company, he also gave a special Chinese name: Meng Shi.

At this time, he was checking the progress of the project, and suddenly the intercom rang:

"Every squadron leader or above, please go to the manager's office for a meeting within half an hour..."

After three times in a row, Meng Shi shouted to several team leaders: "Do your job well and don't be lazy."

"knew!"

"Head, don't worry!"

Several squad leaders quickly replied.

Regarding Meng Shi, whether he was an ordinary construction worker or a team leader, they all respected and feared him.

The main reason is that his style is too upright, not like someone who came out of the Thai army.

Meng Shi ignored his subordinates and hurried to the office where the meeting was held.

More than a dozen squadron captains and several group captains, plus several department heads, arrived at the office one after another.

The manager was Wu Xinhe who came from Hongsawady. When he saw that everyone was here, he got straight to the point:

"You have to be busy with your next work. The company has a plan to launch and requires your cooperation."

"Manager Wu, what's the plan?" Captain Bakun asked.

"See for yourselves! One copy per person." After Wu Xinhe finished speaking, he distributed a large number of documents to everyone present.

Meng Shi got the document and couldn't wait to open it.

This is a plan for training industrial workers. Its core is very simple. It requires each construction team to set up study classes, select those construction workers who are willing to learn and change jobs, and then conduct a comprehensive training for these people.

The training time is night school mode, and the teachers responsible for the training are new employees within the company. In addition, the automobile factory has also dispatched a group of engineers and technicians as temporary training teachers.

As new humans, although Meng Shi and others only received more than a month of training, and subsequently learned some knowledge independently through their free time, and with the assistance of biochips, their cultural level was actually not bad.

"Do you need to graduate from high school?" Meng Shi frowned.

Wu Xinhe smiled and shook his head: "Otherwise? Do you think those college students will work on the assembly line?"

Others immediately reacted.

They are all people who have been here before. Many college students in Siam graduate every year. The problem is that the elite among these people have already gone to Star Island, Europe and the United States.

The remaining group stayed in the big cities and were involved in the involution.

Although Chiang Mai is also the second largest city, the problem is that these college students generally hope to enter the fields of finance, management, IT, pharmaceuticals, design, education and medical care.

They won't consider hard and tiring jobs like construction, machinery, metallurgy, etc., unless they offer high wages.

The Homo sapiens company is here to make money, not to distribute benefits, so cultivating talents on its own is the best choice at the moment.

Each of its construction companies is screening construction workers who are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work, and then opens internal night schools and crash courses.

The entire automobile industry in Chiang Mai Province, and the hundreds of thousands of industrial workers it will need in the future, can only be trained from these high school students in their teens and twenties.

Fortunately, Siam is doing pretty well in terms of basic education, and there are quite a lot of unemployed people inside. Otherwise, there would not be such a developed gray entertainment industry.

Especially graduates with high school diplomas, they are the most embarrassing group of people in Siam. They have a little education but not enough positions.

It's okay if you live in a rural area, but at worst, you can go home and farm.

Those high school graduates born in the city can only get involved in the city, or abandon their dignity and sell their bodies.

Therefore, the construction companies of the Chiang Mai Group can easily recruit a large number of young high school graduates as construction workers.

Now we are opening another upward channel for them. As long as they are willing to learn and hope to change the status quo, becoming industrial workers is also a good way.
