Chapter 948 Water Power Textile Factory
At about 11:30 am on January 1, the fifth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Kong Ming boarded a medium-sized warship from Zhidaomin Wharf and went straight to Gandao Naval Port.
On the deck of the medium-sized warship, Qu Mao and Kong Ming took advantage of the time when the medium-sized warship was sailing to Gandao, and had a brief exchange about the education system of Yihou Territory, especially the autumn enrollment on July 1 of the fifth year of Tianxuan. Things, even if Qu Mao is not satisfied with the education cycle, it is still the source of future outstanding talents in Yihou Territory, and no matter how slow it is, we have to endure it.
The reason why he went to Gandao with Qu Mao was because during the time when Qu Mao went to Lianhe Hou to lead his troops to fight, Kong Ming had completed the research and development of lathe production process optimization, and then Qu Mao went to the four southern industrial islands for new product development and cooperation. During the optimization of the production process, Qu Mao succeeded in the research and development of the hydrodynamic textile factory in the outlying island reservoir village, and now he is going to Gandao to carry out the replication and promotion experiment.
Another thing is that during Qu Mao's battle on the main mainland, Minister of Infrastructure Wang Mao led workers to complete the construction of the office buildings of 20 management departments in Yihou Territory, and even the Imperial Guard behind the office building The barracks are also under construction.
Qu Mao has no time to inspect and accept the office buildings of various departments. In fact, Qu Mao does not want to inspect and accept them at all. Each department has its own ministers, and the ministers of each department can inspect and accept the office buildings by themselves.
Of course, it takes at least an hour to sail from Zhidao Port to Gandao Military Port by a medium-sized warship. On the deck of the medium-sized warship, Qu Mao and Kong Ming not only exchanged education, but also discussed the future technology and industrial development of Yihou Territory. Things were done with full and comprehensive communication.
In fact, it is not the first time that Yihou Territory has tried to convert water power or wind power into power for industrial production equipment. It is not known how many times the project has been approved.
Including the establishment of the Hydrodynamic Research Institute, the establishment of a large number of blacksmith shops and carpentry shops near the reservoir village are actually related to the research of hydrodynamic and wind power.
Based on the accumulation of so many experiments, Kong Ming successfully used water power to drive the shuttle machine of the textile factory in the reservoir village. Qu Mao thinks it is not a special accident, and it should be a natural result.
This time Kong Ming researched for about a week, and completely realized that all the shuttle machines in the outlying island textile factory were driven by water power, which changed the way of manually pulling the shuttle machines in the past. Qu Mao believes that there is a high probability that it will not happen if he goes to Gandao to do a replica test. any problem.
Gan Island, as one of the earliest defined four industrialized islands, under the guidance of the early extensive development of the Yihou Territory, had also carried out a large number of land reclamation and resettlement of residents.
It’s just that as military heroes complained about the lack of places for new heroes to upgrade, so the residents of Dry Island were resettled and concentrated in a few villages and towns guarded by city walls. There are still a steady stream of beasts appearing on the Internet.
In the early stage of extensive development, Kong Ming and Qu Mao had actually designed water conservancy measures on the dry island so that the dry river on the dry island could provide hydraulic power for industrial chemical plants. However, after the subsequent conversion of farmland to forests, no water conservancy projects were implemented. Build reinforcements.
Dry Island is smaller than Ji Island and Outlying Island, but larger than Bo Island and Green Island, and has more vegetation and freshwater sources than Lian Island.
The few towns protected by city walls will not affect the development of industrialization on Dry Island, so it is appropriate for Kong Ming to bring the experimental results of the hydrodynamic textile factory to the Dry Island to try to replicate it.
After Qu Mao and Kong Ming had lunch in Gancheng, Gandao, they went directly to the edge of the early-built Gancheng Reservoir.
In fact, Gancheng Reservoir is not a reservoir in the actual sense. It was modeled on the Lihe Reservoir water dam, and a dry river dam was built on the dry river near Gancheng in Gandao, but the water flow of the dry river needs to be It is much smaller than the Lihe River, and the outlet of the dam has not been completely closed, so there is not much water in the dry river reservoir.
Kong Ming waved his goose feather fan and said, "My lord, I actually thought about it at the beginning, but the hydrodynamic application technology was immature at that time, and the water flow of the dry river was limited, so the construction of the dry river reservoir was ignored.
Now the subordinates are experimenting with water power to drive all the shuttle looms in the Dry Island Textile Factory, and this matter has practical significance to pick up again.
Subordinates feel that the application of hydropower needs to be done, and you can instruct the Ministry of Infrastructure to do the work on the dry river reservoir. After all, we now have a special department. "
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "I will accompany you to Gandao Textile Factory to test, and then I will draw the construction plan of Ganhe Reservoir, and then hand it over to Wang Mao of the Ministry of Infrastructure for construction."
At about 6:00 p.m. on January 1, the fifth year of Tianxuan, following Kong Ming's order, the power system of all shuttle looms in Gandao Textile Factory was switched to hydraulic drive shaft drive, and countless shuttle looms began to shake back and forth. The replica test of the Power Textile Factory was officially declared a success.
Qu Mao watched with satisfaction the countless shuttle machines flying back and forth in a uniform order driven by the hydraulic drive shaft, filled with pride and satisfaction in his heart.
Kong Ming excitedly said to Qu Mao: "My lord, it's moving. All the shuttle machines move in the same way. Our water power application is completely successful."
Qu Mao nodded, and said: "The shuttle machine shuttles back and forth, the movement is indeed uniform, and the water power can indeed be fully applied to the textile factory.
However, Kong Ming, the water flow in Gandao is small, and the power still seems a bit insufficient, and the frequency of the shuttle sliding back and forth is not enough.
After our dry river reservoir is successfully built, it should be much better. I will arrange for Wang Mao to do this later. You can try to replicate hydrodynamic facilities in more factories on Dry Island, and you can also consider wind power applications. . "
Kong Ming said: "Okay, my lord, it is estimated that reservoirs and the like will be built on other islands.
In the past few days, my subordinates have stayed on Dry Island to continue to try to switch power, build reservoirs and other things, so I can only entrust you to do it. "
Qu Mao waved his hand and said, "Kong Ming, just keep working hard here.
After I draw the construction plan of the Ganhe reservoir, I will naturally go to other islands to investigate. Even Lian Island, we have to find a way to build a large reservoir.
Of course, I will also take a look at the new products that can be produced quantitatively, as well as the optimization of the production process of existing products.
In about two or three days, I will return to Dry Island, and then we will discuss the details. "
Kong Ming smiled and said, "My lord, this arrangement is very good."
