Chapter 1161 The Second University
Shangguo officially authorized electric power technology...
The era of electric power technology begins, and artificially controlled lightning...
In the era of electricity, the merchant country will usher in the era of electricity...
Early in the morning, all kinds of news came flooding in, flooding the entire Shang country; not only that, because of the construction of the teleportation array and the popularization of network technology, the information was also spread to all parts of the country in the first place. For example, Zhao Guo.
Early in the morning, Fang Jingtang and the emperor had just finished discussing the relevant plans to replicate the model of the Shang Kingdom in the Zhao Kingdom, when such news suddenly came.
"Electric technology?" Emperor Zhao was a little shocked.
"Your Majesty, electric technology is not that powerful, but it is indeed a very powerful technology. I have seen electric lights in Shangguo, a kind of lighting tool driven by electric current. It is simple and reliable, and the price is 100% of that of array tools. One or even lower. At present, commercial street lamps and home lighting are basically electric lamps.
I have also seen electric motors, a machine that is more efficient than array engines and internal combustion engines, but the structure of electric motors is relatively simple, with high controllability and good flexibility.
In addition, electricity has many unique applications, and its popularity is very high in commercial countries. Especially the transportation of electricity is very convenient and safe, as long as ordinary copper wires or even aluminum wires can be transported, there is no need for black iron wires like aura.
But one thing is that electricity is difficult to store and must be supplied at any time, so electricity must be connected, which makes the application of electricity very fragile.
If we cut off the main power lines, the whole city will be in chaos. "
While speaking, Fang Jingtang used the phantom array to demonstrate power plants, power grids, electrical equipment, and so on. Especially at night, the city of Shangguo is beautifully decorated by electricity.
Emperor Zhao looked at it for a while, thought for a while and said, "Our country of Zhao doesn't need electricity now."
"Yes! Your Majesty is wise." Fang Jingtang gave a small horse! But then, Fang Jingtang said cautiously: "Your Majesty, I have heard some news. It is said that the reason why the price of spiritual materials in the Shang Kingdom has suddenly dropped so much is because of the application of electric power technology.
I heard that Shangguo has an electric technology that can produce spiritual materials, purify liquid spiritual energy, etc. at an extremely low price. "
"Hmm..." Emperor Zhao had some concerns, "If this is the case, we need electric technology. Then you see, can we get electric technology?"
"Your Majesty, it is almost impossible for us to directly obtain electric power technology!" Fang Jingtang first broke a ladle of ice water for the emperor, and then, without waiting for the emperor to get angry, immediately added: "But we have a way to obtain independent and stable electric power supply."
Emperor Zhao stopped talking and just looked at Fang Jingtang with his eyes.
Fang Jingtang continued: "Your Majesty, in the country of Shang, there is a construction method called 'turnkey project'. The so-called turnkey project is an image metaphor.
It's like building a house. After the building is completed, there will be no problems at all. Give us the key to the gate.
Similarly, in the current engineering construction of Shangguo, there is also such a method. That is, the engineering construction group has built factories according to our requirements, and after checking that there are no problems, hand over all factories to us. When we get the factory, we can directly produce it. Even if there is a problem, Shangguo still has a one-year after-sales service period. "
After hearing this, Emperor Zhao's eyes began to light up, but he quickly thought of the problem: "Is the quality guaranteed for such a turnkey project?"
"Yes!" Fang Jingtang said with certainty, "Within one year, the losses caused by technical problems and quality problems will be borne by the Engineering Construction Group. For technical and quality problems, we shall bear all the losses. The other party provides maintenance services.
One year later, the other party will provide ten-year maintenance service, but will charge necessary fees. "
"A total of 11 years? What about after 11 years?" Emperor Zhao asked, always feeling that Shang's behavior was unethical.
Fang Jingtang explained: "After 11 years, judge according to the actual situation. Because according to the current development speed of Shangguo, there will be one generation of technology in three to five years. After 11 years, there will be at least two generations of technology gap. This means that the factory has been disuse."
"So that's how it is!" Emperor Zhao suddenly realized, and then asked: "Then, how much money will it cost to build a power plant?"
"Eh..." Fang Jingtang wanted to say that he didn't know, but he knew that he couldn't say this. After thinking about some data released by Shangguo, Fang Jingtang said slowly: "There is no private power plant yet. They are all from the country of Shang. However, based on the rough situation of Beidou City at the beginning, the construction of a power plant that supplies the whole city, including transmission lines, will almost occupy one-tenth of the cost of a city's construction.
Therefore, Chen estimated that even the smallest power plant would cost tens of millions of taels of gold. For details, ask Shang Guo.
However, now that Shangguo's electric power technology is publicly authorized, you can also inquire about those companies that have obtained the technology, which may be cheaper. "
"No, just ask Shang Guo!" Emperor Zhao showed a rare courage, "It will take at least half a year, or even longer, for those enterprise groups to digest and absorb power technology and convert it into qualified products.
But if we contact the merchant country directly, maybe half a year later our power plant will have started to operate and start producing. If you lose, you will earn back! "
Now the Emperor Zhao will also calculate carefully, and it is calculated carefully from the economic level, not just a simple comparison of numbers.
Fang Jingtang immediately took the order and returned directly to the Kingdom of Shang. On the one hand, he led Dong Taihe to hand over the diplomatic affairs of the Kingdom of Shang, and on the other hand, he also searched for the Kingdom of Shang and asked about the power technology.
Fang Jingtang first found Yan Ze'an, and Yan Ze'an found Fang Shijing, because Fang Shijing was in charge of Bright Star Group; then, Fang Shijing found Peng Yongguang from the power department.
During this process, Li Xian must of course be notified. After Li Xian nodded, Yuan Yong, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Shang Kingdom, also intervened in the negotiation. This kind of technical construction is not just a construction, but also involves diplomacy.
After sitting down, Peng Yongguang said directly: "How big a power plant do you want? I won't talk about pure technical terms, you can talk about it according to actual needs.
For example, it can meet all the needs of a small city with 100,000 people, or a big city with a population of 1 million. This refers to the daily needs of ordinary people, and factory consumption is also counted as population consumption.
There are a few parameters here, you can take a look. "
Fang Jingtang took it over and took a look, but there were some simple conversion formulas:
The consumption of an ordinary soldier in the foundation period is equivalent to the consumption of 20 ordinary people;
The power consumption of a primary black iron smelting workshop is equivalent to the needs of a small town with 100,000 people;
Simply decorate the entire palace, which is equivalent to half of the needs of a small town with 100,000 people;
Completely decorate the entire imperial palace, which is equivalent to the needs of a city of 300,000 people;
The power plant in Beidou City can meet the needs of a population of 5 billion; the power plant in Jinshan City can temporarily meet the needs of a population of 30 million;
The power consumption of Jiuchongtian Group is equivalent to that of 80 million people;
A 50-kilometer expressway connecting Jinshan City and Beidou City consumes electricity equivalent to 10,000 people.
Fang Jingtang knew the rough data one by one. After thinking for a while, he asked, "How much money would it take to build a power plant that meets the needs of a population of 20 million?"
"Well, we now have two power generation technologies. One is hydropower, which uses river water conservancy; it can meet the needs of a maximum of 200 million people. This kind of power plant has a high investment, but it does not need fuel in the later stage, and the river is the source of energy. But the power plant It must be built on a river, and it must be a water source with a drop.
The other is thermal power generation, which has lower requirements on the terrain. Of course, it is best to be close to the water source, so that it is convenient to pump water to cool the unit. The fuel for thermal power generation is petroleum, which is widely used now. "
"Then what kind of technology is Shangguo currently using?"
"Firepower." Peng Yongguang added inwardly—it's Tianhuo, well, it's nuclear energy.
"Then we will choose thermal power generation." Fang Jingtang immediately made a decision.
Peng Yongguang took out his computer and began to calculate: "The technical requirements for thermal power generation are relatively low, and the terrain requirements are not high, as long as it is relatively solid flat land.
If calculated in this way, only the construction of the power plant requires a minimum of 170 million taels of gold and a maximum of 800 million taels of gold. Of course, this is only an estimate, and the actual situation should be calculated based on on-site inspections. "
Fang Jingtang didn't listen to the latter words, "Why is the gap so big? 170 million taels and 800 million taels, the gap is too big!"
"The 170 million taels are used equipment that we are about to eliminate. These equipment are second-hand equipment. But we guarantee the quality, and there will be no problems for at least 12 years. We will be responsible for any losses caused by quality and technical problems.
800 million taels, using the latest equipment, can guarantee worry-free operation for 20 years.
Personally, I recommend that you choose old equipment. "
"Why?"
"First, the old equipment has been debugged and has achieved the best results. We have detailed records of any problems with the unit and how to repair them.
Second, the designed service life of Shangguo's units is 20 years; maintenance and use can extend another 15 years. Now we have used it for about 10 years, we have a little overhaul, and you can still use it safely for 20+ years.
Third, the old equipment has already been assembled, no need to redesign, no need to reconsider spare parts, spare parts, etc., just take it and use it. In this way, at least 20% of the design cost and more than half of the time can be saved.
New power plant design is very expensive, we charge 20% of the design fee.
Fourth, save training time. After half of the new power plants are installed, they need at least two months of trial operation and training of workers. But if it is an old unit, the trial run time can be compressed to about 15 days.
Moreover, worker training is also very simple. For example, you can send workers here, and each of us brings an apprentice; if it is the foundation building period, I think it takes up to 5 days to train qualified workers.
Fifth, grab the time. We don't have much old equipment; it's normal to see a gap of more than half a year between the official production of the equipment and the new equipment, which has won Zhao Guo a development advantage of more than half a year.
Sixth, if you use it for the first time, you won’t feel bad if the old equipment breaks down. "
Fang Jingtang thought for a while and said, "Can I contact China?"
"Of course." Fang Jingtang was at the side, contacting Emperor Zhao Guo to communicate directly. After a while, a decision was made. The old equipment is about to be used. The two parties first sign an agreement, and then Shang Guo sends people to Zhao Guo to inspect the geographical environment.
Of course, bargaining is necessary, but it is a pity that Fang Jingtang wanted to negotiate, but was hit by Shang Guo's few words - I don't know any technology, why do you negotiate? A pile of technical terms were thrown out, causing Fang Jingtang to roll her eyes.
And there is another point, now it is a seller's market, not a buyer's market. Fang Shijing firmly insisted on 170 million, if you want it, you can leave! We don't miss your family!
Fang Jingtang gritted her teeth secretly, but also made up her mind to promote technological reform in Zhao State. The situation without technology is that people have a tough attitude and are merciless, but they have to accompany them with smiling faces and talk about the friendship between the two countries.
Not only that, when the technicians from Shang Kingdom came to Zhao Kingdom, Prince Zhao Guo personally accompanied them on the inspection.
The captain of Shang Guo's investigation was Zhang Ye, a student of Xinghuo University, not yet a graduate; but it was such a student who gave advice in Zhao Guo and finally settled on a location.
This site is close to a big river, about 30 kilometers away from the imperial palace, and covers an area of about five square kilometers. The ground is slightly undulating, but it can be filled up. The main reason is that the terrain is relatively high, so there is no need to worry about flood disasters.
After confirming the location, Zhao Guo also sent 5,000 elites in the foundation period to study at Shangguo Power Plant. The study period was 10 days, and at the end they had to help dismantle the power plant and pack it to send to Zhao Guo. This is also a kind of study.
The power plants are all big guys, and it is almost impossible to teleport through the teleportation array, and only use aerospace aircraft carriers. As a result, the transportation cost was as high as 5 million taels of gold. In this regard, Zhao Guo gritted his teeth and could only admit it! At least learning and training are free, which makes Zhao Guo look good.
Zhao Guo's purchase of a power plant caused a lot of trouble. Just after Shang Guo announced the transfer of power technology, Zhao Guo purchased an older thermal power plant in Shang Guo, which caused a lot of trouble for a while. Some smart countries have contacted merchants to buy old power plants.
The country of Shang was once again in a state of turmoil.
At the same time, because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, Shangguo officially released another message-on February 2 next year, the International University will officially open, and those who are interested are welcome to apply for the exam; out.
Moreover, the president of the International University turned out to be He Zhiguo, Minister of Education of Shang Dynasty.
It can be said that one stone caused a thousand waves. The International University, which has been advertised by Shang Guo for almost a year, has finally officially started enrolling students. I don’t know how many people cheered.
The Xinghuo University in the Shang Kingdom almost created a miracle. The public experiment of the Sanxian reincarnation technology started at the Xinghuo University. The compilation of "Wan Zang Quan Shu" was also carried out at Xinghuo University. Today, Xinghuo University has become the most brilliant pearl in Shang Kingdom.
Right now, the second university is here, and according to the publicity, it is not weaker than Xinghuo University!
