Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

The person who resonated most with what this person shouted was Yang Chao from the firearms team.

Because the barrels they needed could be made by hand, their group consumed the least electricity.

Unfortunately, the firearms team had a heavy task, so they had no choice but to grind the rifling by hand.

Now, with enough power, they can finally let go and get to work.

As for whether the hydropower station has enough electricity, there is actually no need to worry about it.

First of all, the machine tools that Wei Wu took out did not actually consume that much electricity.

It’s just that the charging efficiency of the mobile power bank is too slow, and the charging is also affected by the environment, so it is naturally insufficient.

In fact, even the fully automatic digital machine tools of later generations only consume between five and fifteen degrees of electricity per hour.

When it runs 24 hours a day, the power consumption is only 120 to 360 degrees.

The amount of electricity produced by the hydropower station per hour is enough to keep the fully automatic machine tools operating 24 hours a day.

Not to mention that Wei Wu’s machine tools are basically manual, and they only consume electricity when the tool head is needed.

The production capacity of this power station is fully capable of meeting the consumption needs of the Institute of Science and Technology.

There is even some surplus electricity that can be used to provide lighting, of course, provided that a filament can be made.

Today, Ming Dynasty’s technology can only be said to be in its infancy, and it cannot even produce a qualified light bulb.

The glass lampshade is not difficult to make, but the main problem is the tungsten filament material of the wick, which I don’t even have the qualifications to process.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the road ahead is long and arduous!

Just as Wei Wu was sighing, Sun Chang, who was standing next to the power station, suddenly ran up to him.

"Mr. Vice President, there's something I forgot to tell you about those machine tools you brought out."

When he heard that it was a problem with the machine tool, Wei Wu immediately turned around and looked at Sun Chang, his heart suddenly jumping with anxiety.

In fact, it is no wonder that Wei Wu is so nervous. This is a matter of great importance to industrial development.

If there was any problem with the machine tool, his development plan would be greatly affected.

Just as Wei Wu was about to ask, Sun Chang said with a serious face:

"Mr. Vice President, I remember you said before that those machine tools are extremely valuable and if they break down, they can't even be repaired."

"I've always kept this in mind, so whenever I use them, I'm extremely careful and I don't dare to be careless at all."

"But next we have to rebuild thirty treasure ships, and all the parts we need can only be made with machine tools."

"For a long time to come, those machine tools may not have time to rest and need to run non-stop to catch up on the work."

Wei Wu didn't expect that what Sun Chang wanted to tell him was exactly what he was worried about.

Although this incident has not happened yet, we must have the mentality of preparing for a rainy day.

So after Sun Chang finished speaking, the expression on Wei Wu's face became as serious as his.

"Are you worried that the machine tool will wear out after running for a long time, or even break down completely?"

Hearing this, Sun Chang nodded and continued:

"Yes, everything has a lifespan, and machine tools are no exception. Problems are bound to occur over time."

"Before, we couldn't supply enough electricity, but we didn't have to worry too much. But now electricity is no longer a problem."

I have to admit that this is indeed a problem, but Wei Wu has no better solution.

However, since Sun Chang has spoken out about this matter, if nothing unexpected happens, he should have some plans in mind.

So after he finished speaking, Wei Wu simply asked a question following his words.

"Do you have any ideas?"

"I do have some ideas, but I'm not sure if they'll work, so I'd like to ask for your opinion."

"Say!"

As soon as Sun Chang finished speaking, Wei Wu waved his hand.

With Wei Wu's permission, Sun Chang no longer hesitated and directly stated his plan.

"Yesterday you said that the working principle of the electric motor is the opposite of the generator. I thought about this for a long time after I went back."

"I was thinking, since we already have generators, can we also make motors, or even..."

Having said this, Sun Chang paused and glanced at Wei Wu before continuing:

"We can even try to manufacture the machine tools ourselves, so that we don't have to worry about them being damaged in the future!"

After hearing what Sun Chang said, Wei Wu's eyes immediately lit up.

To be honest, he had never thought about building his own machine tool from this perspective.

Now after hearing what Sun Chang said, he suddenly woke up and realized that this thing was not impossible.

In fact, before talking about this matter, Sun Chang had already prepared himself mentally that Wei Wu, the vice president, would scold him for his unrealistic thoughts.

But now seeing the expression on Wei Wu's face, he understood that his idea was indeed feasible.

So without waiting for Wei Wu to speak, he continued to express all his thoughts.

"During this period, I have carefully observed those machine tools. Although I haven't been able to disassemble them for research, I have learned a lot."

Hearing this, Wei Wu smiled slightly, looked at Sun Chang with curiosity and asked:

"This spirit of dedication is excellent. Keep it up. Now, tell me about your achievements."

Sun Chang felt very happy to receive Wei Wu's praise, as this was recognition from his mentor!

"Based on my observation, if we want to manufacture machine tools, there are three problems that need to be solved!"

"First, there's the motor issue. I didn't understand it before, but yesterday you explained the principle, and today I also heard about this generator."

"As long as we make bold assumptions, carefully verify them, and strive for excellence, as you said, I think it's entirely possible for us to build a motor."

Having said that, Sun Chang's mood suddenly became high, and his eyes were full of fanaticism.

"If we can really make the motor and then go one step further and make the machine tool, we won't have to worry about it anymore."

"Even if the machine tools you gave us are damaged during long-term use, our development will not stop."

"Mr. Vice President, I am very confident that under your leadership, we can accomplish this pioneering feat!!!"
