Chapter 12 – Please prepare for pickup

Bankruptcy liquidation, no specific time.

Some can be completed in a year, while others may take more than a decade.

Like the Little Ya Electric Fan Factory, a collectively owned enterprise, it once supported half of Yellow Mud Hillock. With at least 3,000 employees and retirees, the factory declared bankruptcy in 1994, four years after the Factory Director passed away in 1993. After four years of litigation, the court ruled in 1998, and the liquidation process began.

Since the factory couldn't provide wages, pensions, disability benefits, and retirement pensions, the bank came to repossess the equipment, but was blocked by the former employees. The two sides have been deadlocked until now.

Therefore, the old site of the Little Ya Electric Fan Factory is still well-preserved.

At least the wires don't need to be replaced, and the cement floor doesn't need to be repaired. Just arrange a few people to clean the windows and doors, remove the weeds in certain corners, and polish the rusty gate, and it can be occupied directly.

But the reason it is well-preserved is because someone is watching over it.

These people are mostly former employees of the fan factory, full-time workers who are not registered as agricultural households. They don't have land, let alone houses. After the factory went bankrupt, they lived in the workers' building with their families. There are about a thousand people, forming a sizable village.

The labor force goes out to work, and the young and old engage in small businesses. In spring and summer, they grow fruits and vegetables in the playground and parking lot.

I remember the village chief used to live here.

Xu Fei took a stroll near the security department but didn't dare to go deep.

Because he didn't want to be called "the boy who blew up manure" again.

When he returned to the gate, the two village leaders also stopped talking.

The village chief spoke first, "How is it?"

"No big problem. Find a few skilled electricians to connect the cables and repair the substation. As long as the equipment is in place and installation and debugging are done, we can start production within three days." Xu Fei didn't know what else to say, as long as there was electricity.

"Then I'll go find people." After the village chief finished speaking, he headed straight to the workers' building, which was stacked layer by layer.

The fan factory has many old electricians. With a casual shout and a few cigarettes, a large group can be called over.

The village secretary took out the factory documents, the factory area lease contract, and the transfer agreement for the two hundred mu of land in Large Swamps.

"Xiao Xu, is our toy factory a wholly-owned foreign enterprise or a Sino-foreign joint venture?"

"It's a wholly-owned foreign enterprise, and I am the legal representative."

"Wholly-owned? Is there a way to turn it into a joint venture?"

"Leader, I'm just a worker. I don't have the authority in this regard." Xu Fei politely declined.

Setting up a toy factory with a made-up foreign enterprise already carries risks.

He had barely managed to fool his way through, but if there were shareholders or a cooperative enterprise, it wouldn't take long for the truth to be exposed.

The village secretary felt somewhat helpless. "Wholly-owned means the foreign enterprise will make all the profit. With a joint venture, they can earn less and we can learn their technology."

"With me here, what is there to be afraid of?"

"That's true."

The village secretary no longer dwelled on this matter and picked up the signed contract, casually flipping through it. "This foreign enterprise is called TEP (China)?"

"TEP is the transliteration of the Iron Skin Company. Its actual name is TEP, but in our China, we naturally have to make a note."

"But what is this 'Digitalized Fully Automated Flow Operation Integrated Production Module'?"

"It's imported equipment, ten units."

Xu Fei really wanted to say that the basic production line was domestically made, but he couldn't find anything similar in all the newspapers he searched through.

In this case, he could only use the equipment source document provided by Strauss-Foreman Automobile Company to pretend it was imported.

As for the name, 'Digitalized Fully Automated Flow Operation Integrated Production Module' is the full name of the basic production line.

The village secretary flipped through the documents again and felt that there were no major issues. "Ten advanced production lines, each valued at 500,000 yuan, with a total foreign capital of 5 million yuan and a registered capital of 5.5 million yuan. I'll go to the county town again and try to get the business license this afternoon."

............

After the two village leaders left one after another.

Xu Fei looked around and quietly went to the substation.

Electricity is a complex subject.

It is a physical phenomenon produced by stationary or moving charges.

Charges have the properties of repulsion and attraction to each other.

When multiple charges form a current and move in a straight line in one direction, it is called direct current.

When multiple charges form a current and utilize the repulsion and attraction between charges to move back and forth in one direction, following a periodic change over time, it is called alternating current.

If there are more charges in your house than mine, there will be a difference between us, called potential difference. The greater the difference, the greater the pressure on me, called voltage.

If we connect a wire between our houses and the charges in your house flow to mine, the more charges we put into this wire, the larger the current.

And this wire is called a conductor.

If this wire cannot carry charges, it is called an 'insulator'.

If I can control this wire and make it conduct or not conduct electricity at any time, it is called a 'semiconductor'.

If this wire does not carry charges smoothly, it will create 'resistance'.

If this wire can store charges, it is called a 'capacitor'.

Returning to the topic of power generation.The power plant has a lot of electric charge, and the village has none. If we connect them with a wire, it becomes high voltage electricity.

If the power plant and the village are too far apart, and the wire has resistance, we need to step up the voltage.

If we liken the power plant to the sea and the village to a small balloon, without any restrictions, the sea would pour water into the balloon all at once. Not to mention the explosion, we might not even be able to find the balloon. Therefore, we need to step down the voltage.

This stepping up and down of voltage involves many switches and transformers, which make up a substation.

But what if the transformed electricity arrives at the village and there are too many users?

We need to transform the voltage and current again, hence the existence of the transformer station.

Generating electricity is costly and laborious, and people need to charge for it. Moreover, using electricity is quite dangerous, so what should we do?

We need to statistically analyze, distribute, control, and protect the electrical energy, hence the existence of the distribution station.

The Electric Fan Factory is a major power consumer.

In order to ensure production, a dedicated line was drawn from the power plant.

In China, power plants basically use three-phase alternating current generators.

The so-called three-phase refers to the fact that there are three symmetrical coils in the generator, spaced 120 degrees apart, forming a phase.

Each coil has a lead-out wire, called a phase line (live wire).

There is also a wire in the middle of the rotor, called the neutral line (zero line).

When the generator starts to rotate, the three coils cut the magnetic lines of force, inducing an electromotive force. The current flows out from the phase line. Since the frequency of the three coils is the same and the potential amplitude is equal, but there is a 120-degree phase difference, a three-phase alternating current is formed.

Generally speaking, direct sales from the manufacturer are the cheapest.

In power distribution, if the electricity generated is transformed into something else, there will definitely be losses.

Therefore, the electricity delivered is also a three-phase three-wire system.

As mentioned earlier, the electricity delivered by the power plant is high voltage.

It is basically above 1,000 volts, and can even reach 500kV.

However, industrial electricity requires 380V.

To ensure production, the high-voltage electricity specially drawn from the power plant is 330kV.

Therefore, the Electric Fan Factory not only has a substation, but also a distribution station.

In addition, the factory area, workshop, office area, dormitory building, and staff building each have their own distribution rooms.

......

Xu Fei grew up in the Electric Fan Factory, watched over by a group of electricians. You could say that his enlightenment education was electricity.

There was no other way, Old Xu only had this one and only son. Old Xu was afraid that he would touch something and get electrocuted one day.

And the reason why he was interested in the substation...

Because he suddenly thought, if he bypassed the substation and directly connected the high-voltage line to the base core, wouldn't our power supply problem be solved?

This 330kV, compared to 380V, is like heaven and earth.

"Smart as I am!"

Xu Fei stood 50 meters away from the locked gate of the substation, calling up a semi-transparent page.

The equipment should be arriving soon.

Last night, he braved the light snow and ran to the river bank, trying to separate the No.1 basic production line from the base and his heart.

Unexpectedly, a log popped up on the page.
