Chapter 24 Wonderful
"Why not? It has always been like this. Not to mention a large project like building a dam, even building a house has to be done this way, sir." Ge Ziyun said in confusion.
“We are still in the early stages, you see, the pirate issue has not been resolved.
We must not make a big fuss. A big tree attracts the wind. If that happens, won't we attract more pirates?
So, we have to proceed quietly and make a fortune in silence." Tang Wen said.
"That's right, just do as the master said, work quietly and make a fortune in silence." Zhan Dongwen nodded.
“Dongwen, we now have two excavators. Use these two excavators to clear the bottom of the dam first.
To dig deep, the foundation must be hard and large.
The lower part also needs to install a drain...
You must strictly follow the drawings I drew for you .
By the way, I asked you to invite some masters over some time ago. Did you manage to invite them?" Tang Wen asked.
“I have invited them, but they are asking too much, ten taels of silver a month.
We hired more than a dozen people, and it costs more than one hundred taels a month.
This dam will take at least half a year to build, and it will cost several thousand taels, it will cost a lot of money." Zhan Dongwen said with a painful look on his face.
“It’s okay, they are all veterans in infrastructure and dam construction and have experience.
In some ways, you must follow their lead.
However, I have to explain to them clearly what I teach you, and you can't just do it according to what they say." Tang Wen said.
"I understand." Zhan Dongwen nodded.
After Zhan Dongwen left, Tang Wen kept thinking that he might have to organize a crash course in technology.
For example, control excavators, crushers, road rollers, forklifts, etc.
For example, if these machines break down, they need a repairman.
Of course, some simple minor problems can be repaired, but asking them to repair electronic components is absolutely impossible. If the electronic components are broken, the machine will be scrapped.
Downstairs, Tang Wen called Zhan Zhao and took more than 20 people to choose a place with plenty of sunlight to start installing solar panels.
The orthodox name of this thing should be "photovoltaic power generation". It is based on the principle of photovoltaic effect and uses solar cells to directly convert sunlight energy into electrical energy.
Photovoltaic power generation equipment is extremely refined, reliable, stable, long-lasting, and easy to install and maintain.
The last time he traveled back to Yunhai City, it took Tang Wen more than ten days of study before he finally got the hang of it.
Moreover, the batch of photovoltaic power generation equipment ordered by Tang Wen requires simpler installation. The photovoltaic factory has also made considerable improvements, and ordinary people can do it after a few days of learning.
Half a month passed quietly, the photovoltaic power generation has been installed, and the effect is good after debugging.
In this way, all the tents were equipped with electric lights, and high-powered searchlights were installed outside the camp.
The dam construction site is naturally indispensable. When there is sufficient electricity in the future, Tang Wen also plans to install street lights on the roadsides along the lake.
The moment all the light bulbs lit up, everyone was stunned.
“Is this a night-shining pearl?”
"How much do so many night-shining pearls cost?"
"Master said, that's not a night-shining pearl, that's called an electric light."
"It's so bright that you can see it clearly at night."
…
Looking at these ancient people talking in the square, Tang Wen felt amused. If he installed some colorful lanterns when he had time, wouldn’t it scare you to death?
Of course, photovoltaic power generation still occupies a large area, so Tang Wen plans to bring back some wind turbines when the time is right.
However, wind turbines are too big and too heavy, and Tang Wen does not have the technology in this area.
It can only be brought back after being fully installed. A large wind turbine weighs 400-500 tons.
The blades of a 6-megawatt wind turbine weigh about 70 tons, and the rotor of the generator weighs about 100 tons.
The stator of the generator weighs about 140 tons, and the weight of the nacelle and tower is about 460 tons.
After it was installed, we brought it back and wanted to install it on the island, but we were unable to stand it up, because to do so we needed large cranes, hoists and other equipment.
These are somewhat complicated, and for the time being, Tang Wen is not able to do them.
"Master, these electric lights are so useful. From now on, I am no longer afraid of the dark." After returning to the board room, Zhan Junru said excitedly like a child who had not grown up.
"Master, are these all shipped back from the West?" Gu Hanyan asked.
"Of course, these are all Western things. We can't make them here." Tang Wen replied.
"Westerners are really smart. How can they come up with so many useful things? Look at this bedside lamp. It lights up with just one click and you can even adjust the brightness." Gu Hanyan said.
"Come, I'll teach you how to use the jacuzzi..." Tang Wen turned on the water and let it flush. The two women reached out to try it and felt very comfortable.
"You can use it in the future." Tang Wen said seriously and went out.
"How about, sister, let's give it a try?"
"No, it's the master's."
"Whatever it is, just clean it up. Besides, the master said we can use it, so we just need to try it once."
Down below, there was a sound of fighting.
