[Titanic] I can't help myself

Chapter 46

Belfats is on the island of Ireland, separated from the island of England by an Irish Sea and a North Sea Strait. If you take a boat from Scotland, you only need to cross the North Sea Strait to get there, which can reduce a lot of time by boat, but in view of The Scots are hostile to the English nobility and frequent attacks. For my own safety, we chose to start from the port of Blackpool.

I haven't used a boat as a means of transportation for a long time, so although I didn't spend much time on the boat, I still got seasick, vomited, and finally got off the boat almost half-embraced by George. .

I lay in my hotel room for two full days before I felt alive again, ready to get up and start working at Carl's factory.Carl insisted that I stay in bed for another day, he was very sorry for making me experience such painful seasickness, especially when I went back I would definitely experience it again.I tried my best to comfort him for a long time, and he reluctantly agreed that I went to the factory with him.

When we arrived at the gate of the factory by car, someone had already received the news and was waiting there.

"Mr Hockley." He shook Carl's hand first, then turned to me, "I hope you remember me, Earl Richardmond."

"Of course, nice to see you again, Dr. August." I shook his hand.

"The other parts have been going very smoothly. After all, the drawings provided by Earl Richardmond are very detailed." As we walked in, Dr. August introduced the situation to us, "The problem lies in the circulation of the two towers. In fact, the working molecular sieve and the degraded molecular sieve that has completed the work are not in good synchronization, so the overall working efficiency is not up to the standard that can be put into use. There is also a fluidization phenomenon in the molecular sieve Let’s talk about the specific situation when we see the real thing.”

Karl's newly built factory is a three-span steel structure factory building. Compared with other factory buildings in this era, the overall structure looks lighter and lighter. The span of the Yipin frame is also larger, and the capacity of the factory building also increases accordingly.

"How is it?" Seeing me observing his workshop, Carl introduced with some pride, "I asked experts from Cambridge to design this. It looks very different, doesn't it? The steel used is also produced by Hockley Enterprises. Yes, this kind of span frame can only be achieved by the steel produced by us. If this kind of building structure can be popularized, it will definitely give a huge boost to the steel industry.”

"This is an inevitable development trend." I nodded appreciatively, "If you want to develop the building in the direction of higher height, lighter structure and larger capacity, steel structure has an absolute advantage over concrete structure. To make the properties of steel reach the strength and toughness we want."

"So our oxygen generator is very important." Carl went on to say, "When it is officially put into production, it will definitely cause a huge shock to the metallurgical industry. I have already started advertising in major newspapers, and I want to let the large-scale oxygen generator machine before it hits the market. Here we are."

We are not going to the formal production plant, but the technical department plant located in a relatively remote location in the industrial park. This is the place to solve all technical problems encountered in production.The factory building of the technical department is a two-story factory building with a small area. In the spacious first-floor laboratory, a large-scale oxygen generator that has been assembled is running briskly, and several engineers in work clothes are surrounding What is it discussing.

"Gentlemen." Dr. August interrupted their conversation loudly, "Gentlemen, please stop for a moment, let me introduce the patent owner of the large oxygen generator. It is this young gentleman, ideally Earl of Chamond, Henry Bookett."

In front of these experts who have a place in this field, I can't be arrogant just because I am a patent owner or because of my aristocratic status, but the system requirements of social status do not allow me to appear too humble, and finally I slightly Nodding his head, he said, "Good morning, dear doctors."

Some people here have already met me in Chatsworth and greeted me with a smile, while some experts who have never met before frowned slightly and looked at each other with a cold attitude.

Dr. August smiled at me embarrassingly, and re-introduced all the experts present to me. Everyone greeted me warmly or coldly.

Just then, I heard someone say in a muffled voice that I could hear: "Dr. August, when will the Earl finish his visit so we can get back to work?"

I turned around and looked at the owner of the sentence, and saw a middle-aged man looking at me dissatisfied.

"After all the problems with the oxygen generator are resolved, this is the purpose of my coming here after all." I replied with a smile, "But what this gentleman said makes sense, so let's not waste time greeting each other. Augustus Dr. Te, can you give me a detailed introduction to the current research process?"

"Of course." He strode to my side, took out a work log, and began to quickly introduce the current situation to me. During the period, I needed to interrupt him from time to time to ask some questions that he didn't explain clearly or not carefully enough. .By the time Dr. August closed his thick work log, almost half an hour had passed.The people who met me in Chatsworth before were okay, but the impatience of the experts who met for the first time today was clearly shown on their faces. Seeing that Dr. August stopped, they all paid a lot of attention. A look of relief that says it's finally over.

I ignored them and concluded: "So the current problem, one is the synchronization problem of the two towers, and the other is the fluidization problem that occurs during the molecular sieve adsorption process, right?"

"Yes." Dr. August nodded, "I think the synchronization of the two towers must require a lot of experiments to determine the critical transformation time point, and we may not have much time, Earl Richardmond, Do you have some relevant experimental data in hand, so that we can at least greatly narrow the scope of the experiment and find a balance point as soon as possible."

I try to remember.In my time, the control of the oxygen generator has been monitored and controlled by the computer without manual operation, and the key points of the computer control have already been calculated by the predecessors and programmed directly into the computer, everyone only cares As a result, few people pay attention to where the point of this alternating cycle is to get the maximum efficiency.But this is not without trace, I remember I read its production manual, there seems to be some simple introduction on it.It is not too difficult to deduce the point of synchronization of the two towers through this introduction.

"I have only done part of the experiment, not completely." I said slowly, "But I think, theoretically speaking, the concentration of the first stage will be controlled at about 6% to 10%, while the second stage directly reaches below 2% to 3%. I want to find the final accurate data in such a range, which should be able to ensure that the machine will be put into production on time.”

"Can you guarantee it?" A person suddenly asked loudly, "Can you guarantee the accuracy of the data you provided? If the final result is not within this range, who will bear the losses caused?"

"It's up to me." Carl said suddenly, and then he stood up from his chair - he had been sitting there just now, not interrupting our discussion - and walked in front of everyone, "If there is any loss, I will Responsible. It is the appointment letter I signed to hire Earl Richardmond as the chief engineer of the factory, so I trust his judgment and solution for all technical problems, and I will bear the ultimate responsibility for any problems. , and won't blame any of you. However, I don't want to see anyone take any negative action because of Earl Richardmond's age and status. After all, if the final loss is due to It was caused by some people’s lack of cooperation, I think I have no reason not to hold that person accountable. I hope you don’t forget that he is the patent owner of the large oxygen generator because of his age.”

The man's expression was very angry for a moment, and it took a few seconds to recover: "Well, you are the boss, I think we should all listen to you." He grumbled reluctantly.

"That's a good summary, doctor." Carl said lightly.

Dr. August looked at me apologetically, and I shook my head slightly to show that I was okay, then I said to Carl, "Thank you for your support, Mr. Hockley, then let's continue."

He waved his hand to continue, and sat back on the chair.

"Compared to the synchronization problem of the two towers, I think the fluidization problem in the molecular sieve adsorption process is more serious." I continued to discuss with Dr. August, "Is there any preliminary conclusion now?"

"Everyone has some opinions, roughly these." Dr. August opened another work conference log and turned to that page for me to read.

"Is there a ready-made entity for the molecular sieve we are using now?" After reading everyone's meeting summary, I asked, "I need to understand the molecular sieve we are using now before making a conclusion."

"The molecular sieve samples are upstairs in the laboratory," said Dr. August. "Let's go up now. Gentlemen, any of you would like to come with me to the laboratory."

Several experts who had known each other for a long time readily agreed, and some others hesitated to get on the card, while the rest gave us a disdainful look, then went to the oxygen generator and continued their discussion just now.

"Okay, whatever you want." Dr. August muttered a little unhappy, and then said loudly, "Come on, here... I think the problem lies in the density of the molecular sieve, the gap is too large, so it is easy to Creates intense friction between molecules..."

The author has something to say: Thank you, classmate Thirteen Seals, Lei~~Meme~~~

I am still saving manuscripts now, I am going on a graduation trip today, and strive to keep updating~~

My mobile phone keyboard is set to a nine-key mode, so when I typed "Little Henry" on my mobile phone today, the first word was actually "Little Hengji", and I was immediately turned over~~~
