What caught everyone's eye was a huge building, which looked like a large industrial base with a large number of steel cans and various buildings, but there was no smoke inside the chimney, and there was no trace of anyone outside.

I noticed the eyes of the Nanyang people in the carriage, and the staff responsible for receiving them in Tianjin suddenly felt a sense of pride. This was Baotou's treasure. When Yang Yuanzhao started the industry in Baotou, the first one was the Baotou cement factory here. Then, after several years, with the help of the planning personnel, a large functional zone had been formed. The light industrial belt was built just by Baotou, including printing, dyeing and textiles. Two high-energy-consuming and high-pollution enterprises did not choose to be on the bank of the Yellow River. In Baotou, for the sake of two major factories, he specially led a small section of the factory's industrial water, pollution deposition and treatment. Therefore, the entire Baotou industrial belt seemed extremely clean, and there were no scenes of chimneys and smoke everywhere in the usual European and American industrial zones.

However, now, this industrial zone is no longer suitable for the development of Baotou. Since occupying the northwest, the scope of Baotou's control is expanding, and more and more places can be used as industrial zones. Baotou has gradually developed from its original economic and industrial core cities toward central cities and super cities. Therefore, the surrounding industrial and mining enterprises have moved. Originally, many people are watching this area. The land resources around Baotou are relatively scarce. As long as the land is taken down and the house is built, there is no shortage of people to buy it. However, after Yang Yuanzhao weighed the pros and cons, he decided to keep this industrial zone. Of course. All factories must be relocated, and what is retained is the factory land and buildings.

Yang Yuanzhao's idea was to refer to the model of later industrial museums and industrial theme parks. These buildings have strong individual characteristics and have the beauty of industry. Except for the cleared empty space, a huge industrial exhibition hall of 300,000 square kilometers was built, no change was made. It still remains the same.

When the northwest received and finished speaking with pride, the carriage was indifferent. In this most important carriage, the people sitting were all rich people from Nanyang, including the Chen Jiageng system, and there were also some large families who had been rooted in Nanyang for more than 300 years. After years of their existence, they proved their strength and vision, factories and buildings. They represent huge wealth and industrial production capacity. This thing they had never had in Nanyang for many years. However, Baotou has been used as backward production capacity or cleared out of Baotou's scope. In such a northwest and such a Baotou, how strong is it.

These wealthy businessmen were all excited, especially a few of them, who wanted to go down and visit directly. Because according to the reception, the exhibition hall here was to exhibit all the export machinery and equipment in Baotou, and even some small-scale displays.

When I came to the northwest, on the one hand, I wanted to see the strength of the northwest and help myself make decisions. I heard it as a false sense and saw it as a true truth. Now I have truly come to the northwest and feel the vigorous power of the northwest. In fact, I have made a decision in my heart. Now I have the opportunity to see the most comprehensive mechanical equipment exhibition hall in Baotou. No one wants to miss such an opportunity.

The Nanyang delegation's proposal made the reception a little embarrassed. I asked for instructions, especially when I asked Baotou through telegram. The final reply was that I could change the itinerary and visit.

This train is a special train, because one train can only accommodate more than 1,000 people, and almost all of them are on this train. After stopping at the small station closest to here, I waited for a while. After about half an hour, a row of buses rushed over from Baotou.

Yang Yuanzhao is an engine engineer. He has natural advantages in the field of automobiles. Various types of gasoline vehicles have been developed and gradually adjusted and matured. This bus is one of them. One can accommodate 36 people. In order to pick up these people, nearly 50 buses were driven in total.

Under the guidance of the reception, these people got into the car with curiosity. When the vehicle started, they suddenly felt different. They had seen cars before, but most of the cars were small. Even if there were cars with a large number of people, they could take thirty or forty people at once. The comfortable seats and internal arrangements were running smoothly on the road, and the speed was not slow. Some wealthy families even began to consider whether to get one back.

However, their ideas are destined to be unfulfilled. The bus is too advanced compared to this world. The engine it uses is an engine with a capacity of more than 300 horsepower, which is an ineffable type and requires strict control over the northwest.

The convoy moved forward quickly. The small station they stopped was not far from this exhibition center. This small station was set up here for this exhibition center. Many people who bought northwest equipment came here to visit Baotou without stopping in Baotou, but came to the expo center to see various equipment. After making a decision, they would buy it.

When entering the industrial zone, I looked at the new factory area, which was even left with traces of industrial production, and imagined the possibility of 500,000 workers working together to create countless wealth. Even Chen Jiageng was a little moved. The northwest is really different. He has strong strength. If the future leader of China chooses one from the Beiyang, the revolutionary party and the northwest, it will definitely be the northwest.

Baotou Expo Center is a large steel structure covering an area of ​​300,000 square meters. It is divided into five major categories, including daily necessities, steel, machine tools, road construction machinery, light industrial machinery, etc. Recently, small items such as cars, trains, and rails have been added. Together, these only occupy a quarter of the space of the entire exhibition center, and the rest are still being filled quickly.

A lot of light industrial products and steel have been imported from Southeast Asia. As the head of the entire Southeast Asian delegation, Chen Jiageng first noticed the power aspect. A few days ago, the Chen family purchased a unit with an annual output of 100,000 kilowatt-hours in the northwest. To a certain extent, it has met the needs of the Chen family and even supplied power to the outside. One tenth of the electricity in Penang is supplied by the Chen family. The high efficiency and value generated by the power have slightly deflected the center of the Chen family, and it seems that electricity is a good direction.

This time, it is not only a comprehensive and in-depth investigation of the Northwest, but also a large-scale procurement action. You should know that in the future, not only Penang, but also in more than ten cities, the Chen family needs to build power plants, with a total production of more than 8 million kilowatt-hours.

The instructor who was responsible for guiding them, after listening to Chen's narration, said: "Mr. Chen, what you purchased before was a DC generator. This generator has a small power and is not suitable for long-distance transmission. I believe you also know that there is no intensive savings in dispersion, not only management personnel, but also transportation, etc.."

"But, isn't DC only able to transmit very close?"

"Direct current is very close, but our new generator can use AC control and can transmit power hundreds of kilometers away through high-voltage transmission. In this way, you can build a large-scale power plant belt in a convenient place, and then you can only ensure the transmission line."

Chen Jiageng pondered for a moment. The 10 cities he chose were not far apart. If he found a core, the farthest one would not exceed 80 kilometers. In this case, there would be no need for every city to set up a generator. Under the explanation of the guide, he understood a series of problems with generator sets. Now, the largest generator set used for sale in the Baotou Exhibition Hall has reached 50,000 kilowatts. Such generator sets, that is, for the subsequent expansion, can also directly have two generator sets, and then the supporting transmission lines and substations. The overall investment is greater than the 8 10,000 kilowatts of power generation capacity, and it saves more money. The most important thing is to improve the efficiency of electricity.

Everyone knows that the larger the generator set, the more electricity it generates per unit cost. Yang Yuanzhao adopted some concepts from later generations. Under the leadership of the power master Trass, the transformed alternating current will save at least 30% more than DC power in terms of cost. With the increase in power and increase in efficiency, the most important thing is to operate 24 hours a day without shutdown. In general, the price of electricity is already three-quarters of the original, not to mention the reduction and management of personnel. You must know that a substation is only a passive acceptance and dispersion effect, which is different from the production of a factory. Such management difficulty is much lower than before, which is more efficient.

Soon, the order of nearly 2 million was negotiated. Chen Jiageng set two 50,000 kilowatt units, with a construction period of one year. Next, the northwest will go to Nanyang to install these generators. The preliminary arrangements were handed over to the Chen family. They needed to choose a relatively flat place and a relatively convenient transportation environment, preferably a port.

The order was signed so quickly, and even the delivery date was determined, which surprised everyone. The strong production capacity of the northwest shows that electricity is the emerging development direction of this era. Not only Chen Jiageng is optimistic about electricity, but he is responsible for the surrounding areas of Penang and many cities in South China. Even among the ancestral homes of various major families, advanced electricity is needed.

In terms of electricity, the Northwest has the most complete range of categories and the most products, including 50,000 kilowatt large generator sets and 5 kilowatt smallest units, which can meet the electricity needs of several individual households, which gives them great choices. Most of the main members of the delegation stayed in the power area for the longest time, and the final order totaled US$3.5 million, which is more than 7 million Northwest dollars, and the effect is very gratifying.
