Chapter 723: A great mind.

After the morning meeting ended, Ye Qing glanced at the time, then asked those present to book a room [Natural Residence]. At noon, Yun Shi and Zhang Zhitong will return to Shanghai together.

It was nine o'clock in the morning, and he took the opportunity to return to the Longxitan factory. During this time, Ye Qing spent most of his time in the company and didn't pay much attention to it at the factory. Luckily, the monster workers don't need any supervision, and they always completed the tasks assigned by him as soon as possible.

When he came to the factory, he marveled at the huge factory even though he had seen it countless times. There was a huge traffic flow in the cargo transfer center, which showed the vitality of this factory. Heavy trucks all over the country were like ants transporting goods to the anthill, forming a continuous fleet, transporting industrial raw materials to the factory at all times.

The production of plasma batteries was discontinued, and the production of Shi Lei cars did not stop. Now, there is an urgent shortage of Shi Lei cars across the country. When the next batch of Metallic Dysprosium arrives, the factory will only produce plasma batteries, which will greatly reduce the waiting time. At the same time, the first batch of 100 energy service centers will soon be completed.

At that time, it was really impossible, otherwise, Ye Qing will have sent Shi Lei cars to the 4S store to fill these empty racks and support the facade.

When he arrived at the factory, he first inspected the Bionic Drone Production Center. Compared with other products, the UAV factory occupied a much smaller area, and the factory was only over 2,000 square meters. The six 3D printers purchased from the accessory store and the two full-motion assembly rigs were the most expensive equipment here.

There was no difficulty in producing bionic drones. Including the mechanical structure of the bionic drone, its ultra-light mechanical parts are directly processed in the precision machine shop and then sent here for assembly. So as long as there was a drone case and equipment assembled, it is enough, moreover, at present, the drone production center only produced the drones ordered by the General Assembly Department.

The orders are divided into three forms; the factory only produces drones which are all common eagles in China, plasma batteries for military use, and bionic flight power systems. The general assembly department was responsible for shells, major electronic reconnaissance equipment, and communication modules. The General Assembly Department ordered a total of 3,000 units. There are three to five days left to complete the production and in the meantime, the inactive equipment can be used to produce a "selfie artifact".

"According to this sample, we will first produce 100 test models."

Ye Qing handed a mini-plane in the shape of a small fire dragon to Master Qiao, patted his shoulder, and encouraged him: "The quantity of the military version is almost finished, at most a few thousand will be produced, and it will come to an end. If the civilian version is developed, it is estimated that it will not be difficult to produce hundreds of thousands of them."

"Do we still use PEEK composites for the hull?"

Master Qiao opened his hand to grab the small fire dragon sample.

"A piece of polyether ether ketone composite material costs thousands, it is better to use another one. Use silica gel and replace the 3D printing step with injection molding, so the cost of the shell does not be only a few Yuan." Ye Qing showed a smile that only capitalists have.

"He he ~" Master Craftsman laughed along with him.

After inspecting the drone production center, Ye Qing went to the underground production base.

At present, the plant's expansion has entered a slowdown period, and the production bases with large-scale industrial equipment forging and processing capabilities have also entered a relatively idle period.

Fortunately, after a few days of free time, they were again mobilized by Ye Qing at full capacity to produce the subsistence materials for the construction of a port in Nigeria, and the large-scale machinery and equipment in the mining area.

Among these assisted projects, power plants with a daily electricity production capacity of 20 million kilowatt-hours are the most important. If the local area needs electricity, it will not use more than a fraction of its electricity production. The main purpose of this power station is to prepare electricity for the mining area.

20 million kWh is equivalent to the total daily electricity consumption of a county developed along the Chinese coast. There was neither a river with a large drop nor enough wind power in the area, so Ye Qing could only consider thermal power plants. The coal will be used to turn liquid water into steam, which in turn spins a steam turbine to generate electricity. It seems very backward, not as high as a nuclear power.

However, the Huge Industrial Monster did not have the technology to build a nuclear power plant, even if it did, there would be no need to build a nuclear power plant in this ghostly place in Nigeria, although the local mining area is rich in uranium resources.

Thermal power looks like something from the last century, but thermal power still accounts for the largest proportion of the world's electricity supply. Three years ago, the share of thermal power generation in China was still 75%. In recent years, the large-scale development of hydropower and nuclear power has reduced this figure to 60%, but thermal power remains the largest and most stable in the supply channels in China. At the same time, with the development of the industrial level, the basic equipment of thermal power plants has become more and more terrifying.

From the first steam boilers to steam turbines, including subcritical, supercritical, and ultra-supercritical units, the development of thermal power plants has also become an important weapon of the country that only powerful industrial countries are qualified to play with. Among them, China is the best thermal unit player.

At present, the thermal power plants that the Huge Industrial Monster planned to build are all supercritical and ultra-supercritical units.

What is the concept of a supercritical unit?

When the steam parameters exceed the water critical state parameters, the water is both steam and the steam is both water. They have become a special state. Water has the same good fluidity as steam, and the density is much higher than that of gas. As it passes through the steam turbine unit, it brings much more power than ordinary steam.

When water is heated to 100 degrees, it boils and the supercritical unit needs the water temperature to reach 550 degrees, the ultra-supercritical, reaching 600 degrees. The temperature of the water is already the same as the temperature of the flame of a lit match. Both magical and terrifying!

When Ye Qing stood in the underground base, there were already eight sets of huge and magnificent equipment completely forged from high-strength and heat-resistant alloy materials.

Currently, each piece of equipment is the same length as a Boeing 737 fuselage, but wider and taller than it is. The silver-white high-temperature alloy pipes with a diameter of more than three meters are connected to both ends of the equipment on the left and right. There are many precision gears in the middle like a car gearbox. Each gear can easily crush a car. These are supercritical thermal power plants. Each set has an output of 2 million kilowatts, and one set can power street lights in Nigeria around the clock.

Ye Qing plans to produce twelve sets, two of which will serve as backup units. The unit not only needs a special large boiler to produce steam at a temperature of 550 degrees but also needs a set of highly clean water circulation systems and a transformation system of Powerful. It's a powerful weapon! Looking at the devices in front of him, Ye Qing was fascinated.

The only pity is the equipment in front of him is too huge. Even ten IL - 76 can't carry it, and I'm talking about only one set of supercritical units. He could only rely on huge ships of ten thousand tons.

At present, the Lord Duan Battleship has passed through the Strait of Malacca and entered the Indian Ocean.

Ye Qing kept calculating and waiting for the Lord Duan Battleship to return before transporting them.

While waiting for the production of this equipment to be completed, the second bulk carrier of 60,000 tonnes would transport this equipment to Nigeria. Of course, this bulk carrier was leased.
