Lin Sanqi's words once again shocked everyone at the Shijingshan Power Plant. Everyone looked at each other, and then everyone became excited.
You have to know that they came from the capital to support the border not voluntarily, but were forced to come with political tasks.
Just like Lin Kucan was not so willing to go to the capital to work back then.
Originally, they thought they would suffer after arriving in Bao'an County. The key point was that Bao'an County was considered amazing for being able to install a 10,000-kilowatt generator set.
Previously, people couldn't understand why a small micro-power plant would need 50 engineers and technicians. It was a huge waste of talent.
Unexpectedly, they went straight to the country's largest power plant, and it was only the first phase. This made the 50 technology geeks excited.
"Commissioner Lin, where is the generator?"
"Has it arrived? Can we take a look?"
"I'm really looking forward to it. When I asked Lao Yang to come, he was reluctant. Now they are so greedy."
Lin Sanqi was delighted when he heard this. Everyone was in high spirits, so they naturally worked hard and there was no need for him to persuade them any further.
"The generator sets have arrived. There are more than 60 of them, large and small, with a total installed capacity of 20 million kilowatts."
Wow~~~
In the guesthouse, these electrical technology geeks were going crazy.
You should know that in the early 1960s, the total installed capacity of all power plants in the country was less than 5 million kilowatts, which is equivalent to four times the national average.
Bao'an County is going crazy.
Director Xiong slammed the table and shouted:
"Why are we still eating, Commissioner Lin? Come on, take us to see those high-power generators, so we can open our eyes."
"Yes, Commissioner Lin, let's go check out the machine first!"
"I studied at the German Power Plant before liberation, and none of them were so arrogant."
"If all these generators are put to use, our country will no longer have a shortage of electricity."
Lin Sanqi didn't want to spoil everyone's fun, so he also waved his hand:
"Okay, let's go check out these generators. Li Yujie, get the car ready!"
Tuyang warehouse area.
There were huge generators placed in the warehouse. Although they had been dismantled into piles of parts, they still amazed everyone at the Shijingshan Power Plant.
The layman sees the excitement, while the expert sees the details. Only they know the preciousness of these generators.
Director Xiong ran up and down excitedly, drilling around in the pile of machines. He was sweating all over, but he was still extremely excited:
"Commissioner Lin, that's great! This is the first time I've seen these generators. They're secondhand, though. Can they be operated? Or do they need repairs first?"
Lin Sanqi shook his head:
"No need for repairs. These machines were still in production a few months ago. I just dismantled them and brought them here. I have five units here, as the warehouse is limited. Look, here are the installation instructions and operating manuals."
Director Xiong, I wonder how long it will take us to prepare this power plant, given all this information and equipment?"
Director Xiong said with some embarrassment:
"Commissioner Lin, building a power plant is not as simple as you think. It's not like we can generate electricity just by building the power plant building. We also need to build new transmission lines, that is, the power grid, as well as substations and so on.
We now have 50 engineers, a sufficient talent pool, but we are short on raw materials, which need to be imported. I'm afraid Commissioner Lin will have to spend a lot of money."
Lin Sanqi was mentally prepared. Every time he wanted to set up a factory, it would lead to a large number of supporting factories, which felt endless.
Fortunately, he has a golden finger for time travel, and he has enough funds for the time being.
If he had simply traveled through time and didn't have the golden finger, he probably wouldn't have been able to achieve anything in the 1960s and would have been able to only be a hospital purchasing clerk.
"Director Xiong, please give me a list of the materials and equipment you need, and I'll help you get them. But I need the power plant to be built and operational quickly, and I'll allocate as many construction workers as you need.
Because the construction period for the pharmaceutical factory infrastructure is 2 months, I hope to compress the construction of the power plant to less than 2 months while ensuring quality and quantity. Is this a problem?
Director Xiong was a little embarrassed:
"Commissioner Lin, two months is too short for some of the difficult projects. Let's not even talk about the longer-term projects. Just the chimneys of the power plant are designed to be over 100 meters tall, and there are also cooling towers and other items. These alone will take less than two months."
Lin Sanqi didn't care. Anyway, there was no Environmental Protection Bureau and no people's representatives protesting, so there was no need to be too strict about pollution.
"For example, this chimney is designed to be 120 meters high, so we can just build one that's 30 or 40 meters high. The Bao'an Power Plant is only temporary, and we'll definitely need to find an uninhabited area to build a large power plant in the future."
My current requirement is just to have enough for what I need, it’s not a long-term plan. Even the factory buildings that we are going to build now are temporary.
If we really follow the clean factory standards, how long will it take me to start production? My funds won't be able to afford it."
Bao'an County will be a modern new city in the future, and a thermal power plant will definitely not be suitable.
Lin Sanqi planned to build a new large power plant at the old location of Humen Town to supply electricity to Bao'an County. There was ready-made experience, so he just had to copy the homework.
When you have no money, you don’t have to care about your health. But when you have money in the future, health and environmental protection must be put first.
Director Xiong was not a pedantic person, and he agreed when he heard it.
Now it is a question of "whether or not", not "how good it is". Let's solve the current difficulties first.
"Okay, now that you put it that way, I understand. So where does our power plant fit in?"
Lin Sanqi asked his secretary to take out a map of Bao'an County and pointed at a place with his finger.
The address is located between Luohu Port and Sha Tau Kok, on the border between Bao'an County and Hong Kong, separated by the Shenzhen River.
In fact, it is the "Wenjindu Port" decades later.
Director Xiong looked at the choice, stroking his chin with some uncertainty, and finally asked cautiously:
"Commissioner Lin, I'm afraid this isn't a suitable place. The other side of the river is the Xiangjiang River. You know, the thermal power plant is quite polluting. It would be terrible if it polluted the other side.
I think the northern part of Bao'an County or the Houhai Bay area is a good choice. There are fewer people here, and they are either close to the mountains or the coast, so the impact of pollution on the environment will be much smaller."
Who knew that Lin Sanqi sneered
"No need, just build it in Wenjindu. When the north wind blows, it will all blow south."
Director Xiong wondered what grudge this young commissioner had with that side?
What he didn't know was that Lin Sanqi really disliked Hong Kong.
Decades later, the other party planned to build a "super funeral city" in Shaling, opposite Luohu, which would provide one-stop services including funeral homes, crematoriums and urns, and was expected to provide urn spaces for 200,000 people.
Next to it is Shenzhen's urban cluster of high-rise buildings and a large number of residential areas along the Shenzhen River. But they are planning to build a large crematorium on the other side of the river?
Isn't this just plain disgusting?
Why build right next to the Shenzhen River? This shows that the people on the other side look down on us and don't consider themselves Chinese. So why should we be polite to such people?
Director Xiong had no objection to locating the power plant on the border. After all, these days people don’t care about environmental protection, as long as the power plant is not located in a busy area.
Wenjindu became a bustling downtown area decades later, but in 1962 it was a complete wilderness, far away from Bao'an County and the Sha Tau Kok Industrial Zone.
"By the way, Commissioner Lin, we've selected a site, but the thermal power plant needs to burn coal. How do we solve this coal problem? All the coal in Shijingshan is shipped from Shanxi, and there's a coal mine in Mentougou, so we don't lack coal.
However, given current transportation conditions, transporting coal from Shanxi to Bao'an County would be a real challenge. The freight costs for the thousands of kilometers would far exceed the cost of the coal, which would then skyrocket our electricity generation costs. (End of chapter)
