Thermal power stations are large users of water. To generate one kilowatt hour of electricity, they now need 4 to 5 kilograms of water.

Thinking about it, it’s not surprising!

Human science and technology has developed for so many years, but it has never gotten rid of one thing, and that is boiling water.

In the steam age, needless to say, boiling water began.

When a thermal power station generates electricity, it does not directly convert thermal energy into electrical energy. There is also an intermediate conversion of mechanical energy.

There are many conversion processes, which naturally means that there will be great losses. Large losses also mean high costs.

The cost of thermal power generation is 3-4 times higher than that of hydropower generation. As for the pollution problem of thermal power generation?

This can be solved. Later, China's thermal power stations reduced their water consumption to 0.2 kg/kWh and did not emit pollutants. They truly achieved green power generation.

"What the boss is talking about is a circulating water supply system. The investment in this system is relatively large."

Chen Huaiqing: "There is no way to invest too much. We only have this condition. In addition to water cooling, are there any other cooling methods?"

"There are also natural air cooling and hydrogen cooling. The cooling effect of natural air cooling is not very good, while the cost of hydrogen cooling is too high."

Chen Huaiqing: "So, the best way is to circulate water supply. Power stations have to find ways to reduce water consumption for power generation."

At present, Sifang Energy's business in power generation is still relatively small. The most important thing is to mine and sell coal.

The quality of coal in Shangjun is quite good. Even the calorific value of garbage coal is over 6,000, while ordinary coal has a calorific value of 7,000.

In addition, the mining cost is also quite low.

On a global scale, Shangjun is the Bay Area of ​​the coal industry.

Shangjun's coal is good, so it is naturally welcomed by users. Especially for steel plants, this good coal can make good steel.

Sifang Energy's customer base is now spread across the country.

Don't worry about selling it at all.

Nowadays, the economic development in various places is extremely fast, and the demand for coal is naturally quite high.

Chen Huaiqing and his party took a bus to the coal mine to have a look. The mining of the entire coal mine was quite technical.

It does not rely on manual mining, but uses a large number of machines.

Many machines are specially developed by Ronggong Machinery for coal mines.

After having the machine, the mining efficiency will naturally become much faster.

Chen Huaiqing looked at the dark-faced workers: "In coal mining, you must pay attention to safety. In addition, if you go slower, you must also ensure safety."

"If necessary safety measures are taken and an accident occurs, I don't blame you. But if there are no safety measures and a safety accident occurs, then each of you, don't try to evade responsibility."

Natural disasters are unavoidable, but man-made disasters are completely avoidable.

Taking some safety measures may save a group of lives in the end.

"From now on, I will send people to conduct safety inspections every quarter. Don't try to fool me. Anyone who dares to fool me will be dismissed directly."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Chen Huaiqing's words. It seems that this safety issue must be taken seriously.

Although I don’t know why Chen Huaiqing attaches so much importance to this, it will not prevent the people below from executing it.

If there is any doubt, it will be carried out.

Nowadays, many people think that they are destined to die. If they really lose their lives due to an accident, it is just bad luck and they cannot blame others.

Of course, Sifang Energy's compensation in this area is still adequate.

Chen Huaiqing did not stay in Shangjun for long, but returned to Xidu and then took a plane to the capital.

In Beijing, the leader of the equipment headquarters met Chen Huaiqing and had a chat with Chen Huaiqing. He was quite interested in the MT130.

The MT130 is slightly inferior to the IL-76 in terms of carrying capacity, but this is not important.

The important thing is that the MT130 is a domestic aircraft and a domestic large transport aircraft.

I have to admit that Mota Aircraft is now among the strongest in the country in terms of research and development capabilities.

Naturally, everyone is happy to see this.

Everyone is also paying a lot of attention to the ongoing projects of Murata Aircraft.

Now the development path of Murata Aircraft in large aircraft is very obvious, which is to develop transport aircraft first, and then develop civil aviation passenger aircraft based on the transport aircraft.

In this case, there is no problem.

Verify the safety and reliability of the aircraft through transport aircraft.

Of course, the economics of this civil aviation aircraft must also be considered.

An extra percentage point in fuel consumption is also a huge operating cost for airlines.

If you can reduce fuel consumption by 1 percentage point during a flight, it will reduce thousands or even tens of thousands of operating expenses for the airline. These are all costs!

If you add up a little, you can save millions in cost per aircraft over the course of a year.

An aircraft will be in operation for more than ten to twenty years, and the money saved can almost buy a new aircraft.

"As for the army, if they want MT130, I suggest they just purchase a few and use them first. This can be regarded as support for the Murta aircraft."

"Others are eager to purchase more. How come they come to you and wish to purchase less?"

Chen Huaiqing smiled and said: "Because we will have a better one soon. The army has purchased too many MT130s. How will it purchase MT160 aircraft in the future?"

"Can you do this for a 60-ton aircraft?"

Chen Huaiqing: "We have a large number of former alliance aviation experts and engineers."

The country also organized people to go to the countries of the former alliance to introduce technical talents, and also introduced some people, but compared to the number obtained by Mota Holdings, it is far behind.

Chen Huaiqing is really willing to spend money, so he just throws money at it.

Nowadays, many scientific researchers in China like to go to work at Motta Institute of Technology.

There is no other way. Mota Technical Research Institute offers high wages and good benefits.

Let’s talk about room allocation!

The Motta Institute of Technology does not allocate houses, but as long as you work for a certain number of years, or retire at the Motta Institute of Technology, you can live in the house until the day you die.

Moreover, the house is great!

It's better than any commercial housing complex.

The floors are not high, and all are elevator rooms.

There are elevators installed on all five floors.

In addition, the greening in the dormitory area is also good, and it is no different from a park.

You can go to the park at home.

In the garden of the community, there are pavilions and water pavilions, and there are also goldfish in the pond.

The community is absolutely safe. Even if you don't lock the door when you go out, you don't have to worry about thieves getting in.

Material comfort and so on are not the most important.

People who concentrate on research don’t care so much about material comfort.

What I care more about is research.

The research and development funding of the Motta Technology Research Institute is absolutely sufficient.

Moreover, every time a technology is developed, whether useful or useless, there will be rewards.

If the technology is successfully commercialized, there will be technology dividends.
