The power plant can be said to be the only building in the Red Alert base that does not have a quantity limit, and the base itself is a large consumer of electricity. In order to meet the power consumption of the two bases, at least the power consumption of the entire capital city needs to be consumed.
For Qi Yiming, this is not a problem. Power plants are built quickly and have large installed capacity. Therefore, Qi Yiming discovered the surplus power in the base very early, which can be directly connected to the national grid to meet needs. Electricity problems in areas lacking electricity.
However, the base is only so big. In order to keep it secret, Qi Yiming did not want ordinary people to discover that the power plant on the edge of the city did not need to be operated by personnel at all. Therefore, it was determined to be a power plant for civilian use. He mainly built the power plant underground. Underground, just like the base of Huludao.
After the 21st century, China is still a country short of electricity. The problem mainly lies in its relative shortcomings. Some economically developed areas are densely populated and have good living conditions. They have a large demand for daily electricity, and industrial areas are even more power hungry. As for China, there is almost no year without power cuts. At present, when large-scale power projects such as the Three Gorges and Daya Bay have not yet been constructed or put into operation, widespread power shortage is a major problem in China.
Qi Yiming doesn't have much nuclear power technology. He won't be able to get involved in nuclear power before the combat laboratory is built. What he can absorb from the public information he brings is relatively leisurely. Basically, what is needed in high-tech industrial fields such as nuclear power It is a breakthrough in the entire industrial system. Although the country is currently undergoing large-scale technological transformation, it will still take several years to fully digest and absorb some technologies.
In the utilization of new energy, there is also a lack of technology, or the technology is available, but it will take some time to absorb it. Therefore, the only power generation tools that Qi Yiming could rely on were the Allied thermal power plants and the Soviet magnetic power plants.
The Allied Thermal Power Plant is mainly designed to design a series of new technologies such as high efficiency, combined heat and power, and clean coal. It is the most down-to-earth power plant in the land of China. It can utilize the country's relatively large coal production and generate electricity per unit. The output is also much higher than that of traditional thermal power, not to mention the emissions of this new type of thermal power plant, which is simply not like a thermal power plant.
The main technical equipment is still provided by the base, and some of the main engineers are also served by red alert engineers. The first power plant of this type was completed and put into operation at the end of 1985. At that time, Qi Yiming was still dealing with the follow-up to the Korean incident. , did not go to visit, this time after being entrusted by Ping Taizong, he personally came to the new power plant built somewhere in northwest Shandong.
The electric power sector is a large interest conglomerate that cannot be poured into or inserted into. Fortunately, Qi Yiming is a pure technology provider and does not share any of the benefits of electric power. They are not even allowed to pay for the engineers' travel expenses. , so it is more cordial for the big and small leaders in the electric power industry to all follow Qi Yiming.
Accompanied by a group of leaders whose names Qi Yiming didn¡¯t even remember, it was the first time that Qi Yiming inspected the power plant built by the State Grid like a leader from the central government.
¡°Our new power plant fully adopts new technologies and models provided by the state. Its installed capacity is even equivalent to the total of more than a dozen large and small power plants here. It also follows the national environmentally friendly production policy and achieves low emissions and low pollution. ¡¡±
Qi Yiming's ears were buzzing. He was not interested in hearing this set of sterile official remarks. However, the huge motor in the factory still aroused a lot of interest in him, because it came directly from the base. product, so it looks much more advanced than other equipment. At least its appearance is much better than other supporting equipment that are still silly, big, black and thick.
Qi Yiming asked casually: "The technical acceptance is almost complete. When will the next step be to build a new power plant?"
A leader rushed to answer: "Our No. 2 and No. 3 plants have already begun construction. Because of the financial support provided by the state, we will make every effort to build 30 more such new power plants across the country this year. . It is true that the power plant has been put into operation relatively quickly, but there are still some problems in the construction of the power grid, which may cause the embarrassing situation of being unable to deliver electricity. Our electric power department has been mobilized to fight another big battle for electric power development. "
"The Great War" was a product of the Chinese nation-wide system. Many major projects were carried out in this way, which reflected the advantage of the country's system in concentrating its efforts on major tasks. However, this matter has not been mentioned much in recent years, and more efforts have been made in small areas. As a result, after Qi Yiming came out, it brought hope to many people, so some people were ambitious to revive this battle system. A very typical example is the heavy industry industry. Qi Yiming regularly provides a batch of Engineers and equipment are put to use, and then the superiors will issue administrative goals to be achieved within a time limit, and the people below have to work hard and work hard.
One leader sighed at this time: "Although the technology is very good, our country is too big after all. Thirty years a yearWith the new power plant, the country still has a very huge power gap. Industrial power consumption is not so bad. Since the second half of last year, more and more electrical appliances have appeared on the market. We judge that domestic electricity consumption is likely to catch up in the future. Our electricity creates a greater load. "
Qi Yiming smiled and said: "You can't deny electricity to the people just because they need refrigerators and air conditioners. Improving people's living standards is an important criterion for building the four modernizations. Comrade Xiaoping clearly mentioned this in his speech. Since the demand is there, we can only speed up construction. Although it may seem left-leaning to enter communism with head high, there is no big problem in entering a modern, moderately prosperous society. Comrades in the electric power industry still need to be mentally prepared. If electricity cannot keep up, it directly restricts our country¡¯s development. You are the fuel for the country¡¯s economic development.¡±
This is not a good metaphor, but a group of leaders, big and small, also know that they have a heavy responsibility.
The construction of thermal power is mainly concentrated in coal-producing areas in the north, while the economically developed southern coastal areas are more troublesome. The electric power department has arranged for the establishment of some small hydropower stations in areas with relatively rich water energy resources in southeastern Fujian. Coal from the Shanxi Jingma Railway trunk line can also help these areas. The main power plant arranged by Qi Yiming was the Soviet magnetic energy power plant.
The Soviet army in Red Alert has always been proud of Tesla technology. Not only does it have offensive weapons such as magnetic storm coils, but its electricity is also provided by magnetic energy. According to Qi Yiming's original timeline, magnetic power generation is still unimaginable. It is even said that it violates the law of energy conservation or has no development value. However, in the Red Alert Base, although the installed capacity is not as good as that of ordinary alliance Military power, but a large cluster of magnetic power plants can also provide a large amount of energy and cause almost no pollution. And once operational, there's hardly much fuel needed.
For China, the development of magnetoelectricity has the greatest advantage. That is, as the world's largest producer of rare earths, China produces a large amount of permanent magnets such as neodymium iron boron, which are important raw materials for building magnetic power plants. In fact, with the current technological capabilities of mankind even thirty years from now, Qi Yiming believes that it is impossible to master the manufacturing capabilities of large-scale permanent magnet power generation equipment, but the base can provide Qi Yiming with these equipments.
Taking a different path from the Allied thermal power development, Qi Yiming had no intention of handing over the magnetic power plant to the people of the National Electric Power Company. It was impossible for them to master the technical secrets, and there was also the risk of leaking secrets, so Qi Yiming planned to put this part The power generation project is left to his own people.
The two power generation clusters he chose are located in the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta. They are two important economic zones for China's development and are also areas that have long been plagued by power shortages. The underground method is still used to place these magnetic power plants underground and then transmit power to cities and industrial areas above the ground.
¡°It¡¯s just that in order to achieve these production goals, Qi Yiming had to go through a lot of troubles. He had to drive the MCV out of Huludao, then go to designated areas in the Yangtze River Delta and Pearl River Delta, drop off the MCV, and then arrange the production schedule to build dozens of power plants. This is a relatively long-term process. Qi Yiming knows it very well and can only do it step by step.
Qi Yiming believes that in addition to policy and capital investment, infrastructure construction is also very important for the economy to flourish. The reason why the later Chinese dynasty can become the world's factory and always occupy the throne of the country with the best investment environment is that in addition to its advantages in manpower and policies, complete infrastructure construction is also an important bargaining chip. Compared with India and Southeast Asian countries, they also have advantages in human resources, resources, markets, etc. However, why they have not developed as fast as China, the main reason is insufficient infrastructure construction.
¡° Transportation, electricity, and communications are the three areas that Qi Yiming believes should be focused on.
In addition to electricity, the transportation sector also has great ambitions. Not only are quite a few new railways and highways under planning, there are even some members of the "far-sighted" railway boss who are determined to enter the high-speed rail era within ten years. . Qi Yiming thinks this is quite illusory, but think about it, many Western countries also started high-speed rail in the 1990s. It is not that fast, but it is much better than green cars.
The economic aspect is all-encompassing and very complicated. Although Qi Yiming occasionally gives some suggestions, it is impossible to provide comprehensive guidance. I believe there are many people who do not want to see him intervene. On the other hand, Qi Yiming, who owns one-third of an acre of land in the military industry, has put in a lot of hard work and is now more and more secure.
After the power inspection trip, Qi Yiming was just about to spend the Spring Festival with Jiang Huayan in the 1980s, but someone from XAC called him through AVIC.
