    Electricity for industrial production?  Pang Ning's heart skipped a beat. This was a systematic change in society.  Currently, Shiban's factories mainly use water power and animal power, as well as a small amount of manpower.  Water power is the waterwheel, although Spann repeatedly improved this ancient power equipment, hoping that the waterwheel could adapt to more terrains.  But after all, it relies on water flow. No matter how it is improved, the waterwheel is still greatly restricted by the terrain.

    Travelers have a long history of using waterwheels. Whether it is the blast furnace in the iron plant or the textile machinery in the cotton mill, waterwheels are widely used as a source of power.  On both sides of the Shilu River and Changhua River, waterwheels have been installed in almost all places where waterwheels can be installed.  But not all places can use waterwheels. In places far away from rivers or where water power is insufficient, animal power or even human power can only be used.

    If electricity is used to replace existing power on a large scale, it will definitely be a great leap forward in productivity.  All places that rely on animal power and manpower can be converted to electric power. The industrial sector with more than 20,000 people in Shiban alone is estimated to be able to release thousands of heavy manual workers.  With electricity as a source of power, these saved workers can double the output of the industrial sector.

    ¡°More than doubling, with electricity as a sufficient source of power, the design of various machinery can maximize the use of mechanical force, and the entire production method will be redesigned.  Pang Ning didn't expect that Spaniard could really build a practical electric machine, and asked in surprise, "Did you really make it?"

    Shi Ban smiled and nodded, tore up a piece of soft paper and wiped his mouth, "Are you full? Let's go and show you."

    In the largest factory building on the east side of the factory, the rotation of mechanical axles made a huge noise. The shuttle pierced back and forth on the loom, making a roaring sound in the air amidst the roar of the axles.  Bundles of cotton were repeatedly torn into strips by a one-meter-high cotton gin. The sound of the torn cotton fibers coming together filled every gap in the ears.  The spinning machines are the quietest. Each machine spins hundreds of cotton threads at the same time, but there is only the gurgling sound of the yarn shaft turning.

    Seven or eight female workers manage four or five machines, but they don¡¯t look busy at all. They still find time to say hello to the 20,000 people here.  Bundles of yarn were produced at a speed that could be recognized by the naked eye, which made Pang Ning marvel.  Pang Ning used to manage the textile group at Shanqian Port. He looked at it and said,

    "This is much faster than the previous machine."

    Shi Ban nodded and said, "This entire set of textile machinery has been improved and is specially designed to cooperate with electricity production."

    Pang Ning couldn¡¯t help but recall the days he spent in Shanqian Port a few years ago. He spent all day with a group of middle-aged female textile workers. He couldn¡¯t bear the boredom and ran to Changhua City every day.  Finally, I happened to meet the Xia Zhi brothers and sisters.  Pang Ning suddenly froze when he thought that Xia Zhi followed her brother and left in a hurry to avoid trouble.

    But I don¡¯t know how she is doing now?

    Several people took a few steps forward.  Pang Ning stood in front of an electric loom, unable to move.  See Pang Ning distracted.  Zhao Ru pulled him.  Only then did Pang Ning react.  He asked casually, pointing at the loom.  "Don't you see the wire? Why is it spinning?"

    Shi Ban pointed to an iron gate in front and said.  "The power room is inside. The transmission shaft is taken from the ground. Gears are used to drive these machines."

    People walked through the industrial workshop.  Spann used the key to open the door to the power room.  Just put the three people here in.  Shiban carefully closed the door.  Spann put away the keys.  smiled.  "This electrical facility cannot be made public yet."

    Pang Ning did not answer him.  Pang Ning's eyes were attracted by the novel machine he saw in front of him.  It was a round machine.  Someone is coming.  The outer ring is composed of six pieces of circular shell.  A large circle of things in the middle connects to a wrist-thick subway shaft.  It was spinning rapidly at this time.  All the machines outside were driven.  Pang Ning looked at it carefully.  But I can't see where the power comes from to make this iron shaft rotate.

    Shi Ban pointed to the power facility in the middle.  said.  "It's simple to say. Three-phase electricity is generated on the dam. It is transmitted here to form three magnetic fields. The outer circle is a grounded electromagnet. Changes in the current cause changes in the magnetic field. It just pulls the coil at the front end of the iron shaft to rotate.  Electrical energy is converted into kinetic energy.¡±

    Pang Ning clicked his tongue and said flatteringly, "Awesome, Shi Shi, you are really a scientist. What else can I say? The entire island's industry is upgrading! Let's make a timetable and gradually change into the electrical age." Pang Ning  After thinking about it, he asked seriously, "There shouldn't be a battery that can make my boat use electricity, right?"

    "It's a joke, even in the 21st century we won't be able to build a ship using batteries. Let alone making batteries, batteries haven't been made yet, and there are many problems with power transmission alone."

    "The water flow on the dam is unstable, and the current from the generator there is unstable. In this experimental factory, this can be overcome by installing self-coordinating components on the machine. The cost is too high for other machines outside. It is still necessary to install a voltage regulator.  Capacitor, but I have only heard of the principle of this thing, and I need to study the details."

    ?Different voltages will lead to different current sizes, output power and even mechanical action amplitudes.  Voltage stabilizing capacitors have a current stabilizing effect and are very needed for some voltage-sensitive machinery.  In Qin Mingtao's laptop, Shi Ban

    The structural diagram of a mica capacitor, but as an undergraduate in metallurgy, he was not confident and had not yet had time to start making it.

    Shi Ban looked at the rotating motor and said, "Let's not talk about this for now, there is always a way. The biggest problem now is the insulation. I tried several kinds of tree paint, but they were all broken down by high voltage."

    It is necessary to find insulating materials that can be used on a large scale to make widely used high-voltage transformers. Otherwise, high-voltage electricity will not be available.  Long-distance power transmission must use high-voltage electricity. If it is low-voltage, all the power will be lost on the transmission line.

    Wires have resistance. Due to cost considerations, long-distance transmission wires are generally made of iron wire. Once this kind of wire is stretched, the resistance is not small.  The longer the wire, the greater the resistance, and the more electrical energy is converted into heat energy as it passes through the wire.  The way to reduce this loss by half is to increase the voltage. The higher the voltage, the less heat energy is converted during the output process.

    In the long-distance transmission lines of later generations, ultra-high voltage transmission of hundreds of kilovolts is often used.  Even if it is 100 kilometers, it is a high voltage of hundreds of kilovolts.  To increase the voltage to this level, the transformer places high demands on the insulating materials.  Under high voltage, several types of tree paint that Spann had on hand were broken down by the voltage.  There is no history of insulating materials in later generations. This will require testing one by one.

    ¡°Zhao Gu has the most lively brains and is a bit unruly. When it comes to scientific research, he can always outlast ten well-behaved people.  After hearing this, he couldn't help but said, "Master, I want to try that petroleum oil residue! See if I can make something insulating."

    The insulating plastics of later generations were made from petroleum. Shi Ban was stunned, then nodded and said, "You can try this. I'll find someone to transport some."

    Pang Ning squinted his eyes, and after thinking for a long time, he realized that it was a problem with the transformer, and asked, "I can only try to think of a solution slowly. How far can the electricity be transmitted now?"

    Shi Ban shook his head and said, "At most ten kilometers away from the reservoir, 30% or 40% of it will be wasted. It would be meaningless to go further. But this distance is too close. The places where reservoirs can be built are all in the mountains. This  If we build a factory locally, the cost of transporting raw materials and products will increase again, which is troublesome."

    Generally speaking, valleys where reservoirs can be built are not densely populated areas. Transportation in such places is inconvenient, and if you want to build a factory, you have to build a special road.  Including the round-trip shipping costs, it's not worth the gain.

    King Taiping has always been kind, and the young men named Zhao are not afraid of him.  Zhao Ru smiled and said, "I think the arsenal can be used."

    Shi Ban smiled and said, "The arsenal can be used, and anything suitable for building in the mountains can be used. I looked at it and planned to build a medium-sized reservoir at the Shilu Mine. This power generation is relatively large, and it just happens to be the one in the mining area.  We need to expand the road and build a textile industry base nearby." Shi Ban looked at Pang Ning and said, "However, if we want to expand production, the external demand is still somewhat insufficient."

    In the Ming Dynasty, sea cloth was banned from the market, and smugglers were reluctant to sell it.  In order to protect the small-scale peasant economy, Annan State in the west is also unwilling to import Haibu on a large scale.  Although there is a smuggling merchant who is selling hard, there are only some sales near Halong Port.

    Haibu was originally the largest commodity in the South China Sea. It used to be almost the money printing machine for travelers.  But since Wang Zunde reported that the Ming Dynasty banned sea cloth, the output of sea cloth for travelers has not increased much.  The current annual sales volume is only 1.3 million horses. Except for Qiongzhou Prefecture, which uses 500,000 horses, the rest is the amount used by one Ming Dynasty government.

    So, there was still a backlog.  This is because the fleet going north to Liaodong took away a lot this time, so that supply and demand can be balanced.  After deducting the costs, Haibu's current profit is only more than 40,000 taels a year.  If we want to expand production, we must first see whether Pang Ning can open up the external market.

    Pang Ning raised his eyebrows and pursed his lips and said, "I'll think of a way, and there will always be a way." Pang Ning looked at Zhao Ru, "If it doesn't work, we can sail to the North Korean Li family's port to bombard us and see if he allows us to sell it.  Zhao Ru, how many cruisers do we have now?"

    "Including the launch of Chishan Port this month, Jiutiao has been destroyed. I heard that hundreds of Tatars would dare to rush in and arrest the Li family without a fight."

    Hearing what Pang Ning said, Shi Ban nodded and said, "I've been checking the arsenal in the past few months. I've managed enough artillery and produced a lot of guns. You need to make an order for Zhao Bu on board. I'll  Ask him to send them to your fleet. This navy must be strong so that industrial products can be sold."

    After saying this, Shi Ban paused and laughed at himself, "Using strong ships and cannons to open the market is like the Eight-Nation Alliance."

    Pang Ning spat, "You are the Eight-Nation Alliance. You, the capitalist, are the driving force behind all our expansionist military actions."

    Shi Ban was stunned for a moment, then spat but couldn't refute.

    Shi Ban smiled and said, "The only thing that changes this world is the constantly improving technology. Although it is a bit painful for us to open the door, the blessing of technological progress will make them happy in the end." Feeling that his words were a bit heavy, Shi Ban  He waved helplessly and said, "Let's go, let's show you something more powerful."; Shi Ban was stunned and spat but couldn't refute.
