Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?

a week later.

The front of the Type 671 nuclear submarine has been cut into several large pieces, and several meters of the rear have also been cut off. The tail rudder, propeller and other components have been removed, leaving only the power compartment.

In the 1960s and 70s, Russia's nuclear reactor technology was not advanced enough. Therefore, the Type 671 nuclear submarine had to use two nuclear reactors to achieve sufficient speed. Because the cross-sectional area of ​​the nuclear submarine was not large enough, the two nuclear reactors were arranged one in front of the other.

This resulted in a very large power compartment, which stretched almost from the control tower to the rear. Two nuclear reactors drove two steam turbines, which were then connected together via reduction gears and driven by a drive shaft to power the propeller at the tail.

This is also a standard design for nuclear submarines, and the huge reduction gears are the main source of noise.

Later, with the popularity of pump-jet propulsion, steam turbines were used to drive generators, and then the electrical energy was transmitted to the tail section.

If it were a future design, it could be used directly as a power generation device. But for now, a generator still needs to be connected to the back!

"Alright, let's stop the project here for now. We'll install the generator once it arrives," Qin Chuan said, looking at the remaining parts. "Next, let's start it up and use it for now."

"Brother Chuan, there's no generator inside, how are we supposed to use it?"

"There's no main generator inside, but there is an auxiliary generator."

The submarine's propulsion system requires most of the energy from the nuclear reactor, with over 90% of the energy being supplied to the propeller at the stern. However, the submarine also requires electricity for its internal structure.

Lighting requires electricity, sonar and other equipment require electricity, the fresh water needed is also produced by electricity, and even the oxygen needed inside is obtained by electrolyzing water. Therefore, even if a submarine does not have an electric propulsion system, it still needs a huge power supply!

Russian warships originally used DC power supply systems, and submarines also used DC power before. Only the Type 671 submarine was the first to use three-phase AC power!

The two dedicated steam turbine generator sets can generate 380 volts, 50 Hz alternating current, just like ordinary household electricity.

The advantage is that if the light bulbs on the submarine break, they can simply use the light bulbs from land. And if the nuclear reactor is shut down after the submarine docks, it can still connect to land-based power to ensure normal power supply needs.

The advantage now is that Qin Chuan will have a power supply immediately!

"An auxiliary generator? How much electricity can it generate?"

"Remis, what is the power output of this submarine?"

"Two generators, each producing 2,000 kilowatts of electricity."

Two thousand kilowatts, which is two megawatts, and two of them would be four megawatts! The auxiliary power system on a submarine is already this powerful; if the main propulsion system were used entirely for generating electricity, that would be even more incredible!

"Connect the cables, and we'll start one nuclear reactor. That'll be enough for our entire factory. From today onwards, we won't have to pay for electricity!"

The cables are connected, the power lines are laid, and the nuclear reactor is started!

……

Five o'clock in the afternoon.

Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, Qin Chuan, holding a long pole, aimed at the sluice gate and snapped it open!

"It's on! Our lights are on!"

"Line switching successful! We finally have our own power supply! We no longer have to worry about power outages!"

Everyone got excited.

"Jianshe, hurry up, go set off firecrackers!"

The crackling sound of firecrackers heralded a new era for Laiyang Steel Plant!

Drip!

Just then, a familiar horn sounded outside, and a sedan with four rings on its front drove in. When Qin Chuan saw the car, he gave Li Jianshe a wink.

So Li Jianshe walked up to Yu Hongxin: "Engineer Yu, Engineer Yu!"

Yu Hongxin asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

"Our Audi is back."

"I know."

"There's a surprise from Brother Chuan in the car for you."

"What surprise?"

"Just look at it and you'll find out."

Yu Hongxin walked over curiously.

At that moment, the car door opened, and a middle-aged woman got out of the car. Yu Hongxin was instantly shocked and then ran over quickly.

"Dad, Dad!" A pair of children got off the bus and ran over to Yu Hongxin as soon as they saw her.

Yu Hongxin squatted down, picked up the baby, kissed the child's face a few times, then took the older child's hand, her eyes suddenly welling up with tears.

"Why are you here?"

"This auntie said she's here to pick us up to find our dad. Daddy, this car is so comfortable!" the little boy said in his baby voice from Yu Hongxin's arms.

Yu Hongxin looked behind him and saw Qin Chuan smiling at him: "Engineer Yu, living apart for a long time is not good for the couple and the children. I'll bring them here to reunite with you. I'll also help coordinate the children's schooling. You can live here from now on."

My wife and kids are here, how am I supposed to leave now?

The people in front of the car also got out. Antonina sat in the passenger seat, while the driver was a tall, elderly Russian man!

"Ivan?"

“Boss Qin, Ivan also really wants to work for you. So…” Antonina looked at Qin Chuan with some worry, afraid that Qin Chuan would not agree.

"Okay, let's do it together."

Qin Chuan nodded: "Bring your families to Laiyang as well, and I'll arrange accommodations for them."

I'll definitely be going to Russia more often in the future. Although the profits are huge, it's also very dangerous. Li Jianshe is still a bit lacking. If someone points a gun at his head, he'll probably wet his pants.

The KGB-trained personnel are quite capable in combat. As for loyalty, it can be cultivated gradually. For now, we should assign them some unimportant tasks and prevent them from accessing the secrets of the Laiyang Factory.

In Antonina's eyes these past few days, Qin Chuan has been incredibly capable, able to solve all sorts of problems with ease, and his background is unfathomable.

However, she was unaware that Qin Chuan was mostly just using someone else's power to bully others.

He went back to the travel agency to resign and happened to run into Ivan. Ivan also decided to work for Boss Qin. This boss looked like someone who was going to do great things, and there was a bright future for him!

Now, what should we assign them to do first?

Just as Qin Chuan was still hesitating, suddenly, someone ran in from outside, their voice sounding somewhat flustered.

"Xiao Chuan, Xiao Chuan, your fourth uncle has been beaten up! Go help him!"

"Third Uncle?" Qin Chuan looked at Qin Jianmin, who was running over, with a puzzled expression: "What happened?"

During this time, Qin Chuan was busy, so Qin Jianmin and Qin Jian'an didn't want to bother him. Once the mining permits were obtained, the two of them went off to prepare. The first day went well, but today is the second day, and unexpectedly, someone came to cause trouble and even beat people up!

After listening to Qin Jianmin's introduction, Qin Chuan frowned and planned to go there himself. However, he glanced at the person in front of him and said, "Ivan, come with me!"

“I’ll go too!” Antonina volunteered.
