Chapter 95: 95. Construction of thermal power plants

Views:

Two days later, Lu Cheng arrived at the area where the thermal power plant was being built.

Considering the pollution problem, this area is half an hour's drive from the camp and an hour's drive from the Royal City of Skare.

The thermal power plant is located between the Royal City of Skare and the camp.

When Lu Cheng arrived here, Engineer Wang Zhixian and his team had just laid the foundation, but one foundation was enough.

This project was built using an assembly-based approach... a bit like when a factory is relocated, all the equipment inside is dismantled and reassembled in another location.

Back then, a steelmaking company in Rabbit first bought a steel plant in Germany, shipped it back to China by ship, and reassembled it. In this way, it was transformed from a small steel plant into a large steel plant with a capacity of millions of tons.

Lu Cheng didn't know what his German friends thought after learning about this, but this technology was already very mature in China, coupled with the existence of the portal, which was equivalent to a cheat.

Building a thermal power plant in a week is not a dream...it just consumes a little more energy.

At present, various components of the thermal power plant have been built on Earth. What Lucheng needs to do is to use the portal to transport these components one by one and assemble them directly here.

Therefore, the "foundation" here is not a regular building foundation, but a reinforcement work to ensure that after the power plant is transferred over, the surrounding land will not collapse or crack.

"The spatial coordinates have been confirmed. The transmission is ready. Please reply if you receive it."

Lu Cheng summoned a portal on the ground and used a walkie-talkie to communicate with the engineers on the other side of the earth.

Engineer Wang Zhixian, who was in charge of the foundation work, looked a little anxious.

The main building, boiler and other facilities of the power plant have been transported over throughout the day. Lucheng is now transporting the most important equipment in the thermal power plant, the steam turbine.

The steam turbine is equivalent to the heart of the entire thermal power plant. The high-pressure steam burned in the boiler drives the blades in the steam turbine and then drives the shaft of the generator to generate power.

Therefore, it is well known that most of the methods of generating electricity in the world can be simply summed up in three words... boiling water. Even nuclear power uses different methods to boil water.

"The turbine is being transported, everyone please pay attention to safety." Lu Cheng notified the engineers below the power plant by radio.

The portal with pale golden light gradually spread in the center of the factory and began to spread across the entire plane of the main factory building.

The thermal power plant being built this time was designed as a large-capacity power plant from the beginning, and the steam turbine itself can be described as a behemoth.

When Lucheng transmitted its main part, it consumed nearly five hundred tons of energy.

"The maximum rated power is 1,200 megawatts." Lu Cheng looked at the giant steam turbine that gradually appeared in the portal. "I wonder how long it will take to get this thing running at full speed."

"This may depend on your personal charm, Captain Lu." Engineer Wang Zhixian patted Lu Cheng's shoulder earnestly, and then led his team to start the assembly work.

Lu Cheng knew what the old engineer was talking about. If the rabbits wanted to develop quickly in this world, they would need more energy to lay railways and build big houses.

Today, Lucheng used a portal to transport the main building of the thermal power plant, including boilers, chimneys, condensers, chemical water systems, cooling towers, etc., which cost nearly four thousand human units of energy, which is equivalent to a full 40,000 tons of building materials when converted into weight units.

This is just one unit. If the rabbits develop in the future, this thermal power plant will definitely have to be expanded.

“As expected, the consumption is high.”

Lu Cheng sensed the energy on the back of his hand again. Two days ago, he had just obtained a little over 10,000 human units of energy from the earth core of the seal king, no, Xiu Enzhe. Now, in an instant, only 5,721 human units were left.

Later on, Lucheng will need to recruit a second wave of construction teams...the number of people will also be in units of hundreds.

"If we want the rabbits to run faster in this world, we really can't keep slacking off."

Lu Cheng glanced at the engineers who were busy assembling the turbine.

"Engineer Wang, do you still need my help here?" Lu Cheng asked.

"There's nothing I can help with today!" Wang Zhixian shouted to Lu Cheng without even raising his head.

There are a total of 127 engineers in this thermal power plant, a large number of whom are the second batch of engineers who came to the other world to explore.

After Lu Cheng confirmed that everything was working well, he opened another portal directly on the wall.

This portal is different from the golden portal connecting to the earth. This portal is milky white in color.

This is the new ability that Lu Cheng gained after he contracted the seal, which is a portal that can travel back and forth between the two sides of this world.

When using the portal, a crystal spirit is required as a beacon. The only drawback is that the energy consumed is the same as the golden portal.

However, Lucheng does not need energy to pass through the portal, so Lucheng can use this method to quickly travel between the two places.

The portal opened in Lucheng leads to the camp.

The coal mining in the Royal City of Skare and the construction of a thermal power plant prevented Lu Cheng from returning to the camp for almost a week.

When Lu Cheng returned to the camp again, he also had to undergo a simple identity check.

There was no difference between the camp and when Lu Cheng left. Everything was in good order under the arrangement of Deputy Commander Li Jin.

When Lu Cheng arrived at the school in the camp, he just happened to catch the evening class.

As the refugees have lived in the camp for longer periods of time, more and more of them have sent their children to school. Currently, there are forty children studying in the school.

Lu Cheng opened the curtain of the school tent and walked in. Professor Lin seemed to have just finished his lecture.

"Lucheng!"

Elena waved to Lu Cheng immediately. Her Majesty the Queen hoped to return to the camp to continue her studies on the third day after completing the reform of the Skare political system.

The one who is currently governing the entire royal city is still her sister Mera. Lu Cheng saw Nancy sorting out her notes next to Elena. The fourth princess of the neighboring kingdom followed Elena back to the camp.

At the same time, before Lu Cheng had time to say hello to the two of them, his waist was hugged by a petite figure.

After not seeing this former soul priestess for a week, she still has no signs of growing taller, but her strength has increased a lot. It still hurt a little when her head hit Lu Cheng.

During this period, Elena and Nancy were basically in the Royal City of Skarre. Noi hadn't seen Lucheng for a whole week. The reason why she hugged Lucheng like this was largely because she was afraid...

"It seems useless to say 'I'm back' now." Lu Cheng thought for a while and said something that made Nuoyi loosen his arms instantly. "Speaking of which, can you show me your recent test paper?"
