Chapter seven hundred and forty-ninth power cut off

After leaving the secret Metal Research Institute, Kusai came to the artillery factory in northern Baghdad, where another world-class genius was working hard for him.

Dr. Boer, a man who was unsuccessful in the Western world, is now working diligently in the Middle East where he had never imagined, helping Iraq's artillery industry develop from scratch, from small to large.

Originally, this was just an artillery repair shop. With the support of Kusai, Dr. Boer took the lead and started Iraq's own artillery production here.

Kusai promised to help Dr. Boer realize his dream of super cannons, but before that, Dr. Boer needed to develop Iraq's own artillery industry and help Iraq realize its design of its own powerful tank gun.

Now, a long time has passed, and Kusai is very interested in knowing how far Dr. Boer's work has progressed.

When we arrived at the artillery factory, it was almost dark, and in the winter of Baghdad, the temperature had dropped to zero.

However, Dr. Boer was very enthusiastic, and when Kusai met Dr. Boer, he was working in a newly established factory in the artillery factory in an ordinary shirt.

"Dr. Boole, thank you for your hard work," said Kusai.

After Kusai finished speaking, the translator immediately translated his words to Dr. Boer.

However, Dr. Boer ignored him and continued to work at his work station, who was tracing the large equipment.

Seeing the cold scene, the translator next to him was a little angry and wanted to step forward to pull him, but even if Kusai stopped him, he stopped him.

You know, scientists are all a little strange. Dr. Boole's temper is even more strange. Otherwise, why did he offend so many Americans at the beginning, and finally his research projects did not receive support and grants from senior Americans.

Although Kusai is the president, Dr. Boer's temper still won't pee you as soon as he gets up, but as a president, you must have a generous mind.

After a long time, Dr. Bour turned his head and said, "President Kusai, are you here?"

"Yes, Dr. Boole, how is our project going?"

"It's not good, it's not good." Dr. Boer shook his head.

I knew that there must be a reason for Dr. Boer to ignore him. Kusai looked at Dr. Boer who turned his head and knew that this old guy, who was almost sixty, was in a state of trouble like a six-year-old child.

This is easy to solve, and the right medicine is given.

"What's going on?" Kusai said: "Dr. Bour, you are the best scientist we have invited in Iraq. We are very supportive of your work. Your work is related to the future of our Iraqi Army. It is very important. What's going on now?"

"Important?" Dr. Boole said: "Since I am the most important here, why is the electricity I need always not guaranteed on time?"

When he heard this, Kusai was also annoyed: "What? Our important artillery factory cannot even supply electricity? How can this be done! The person came and immediately called the director of the Baghdad Electric Power Bureau to me, and I want him to explain it to Dr. Boer in person."

After hearing this, Dr. Bour was finally happy: "President Kusai, as long as the power problem can be solved, our production line can be put into production. Iraq will have independent and complete 155mm howitzers like South Africa, becoming the main fire suppression weapon of the army."

Before coming to Iraq, Dr. Boer's company exported advanced military technologies such as GC-45 155mm howitzers to South Africa in order to raise enough funds, helping South Africa establish a complete production line of 155mm artillery. However, at this time, South Africa was a country that was explicitly banned by the United Nations due to the apartheid system. In an accident, Dr. Boer's company was found to have connections with South Africa, so he was imprisoned and his company went bankrupt.

However, South Africa has since become one of the only producers of advanced 155mm howitzers in the world.

Now, Dr. Boer is very convinced that this production line can produce advanced artillery as well as solve the problem of power shortage. When he came, President Kusai agreed to fully support his work, but now, even the basic power supply is insufficient, how can Dr. Boer not be angry?

Since President Kusai agreed, Dr. Boer also changed his attitude. After all, he still has a good impression of President Kusai.

"President Kusai, I'll take you to visit the equipment here." Dr. Boer said.

Kusai nodded. It would be unhappy to put this on him. If you don’t even give enough electricity, the factory will not be able to produce it. This is definitely not possible. If the power director doesn’t give him a suitable statement, he will definitely replace him!

Kusai's position is very firm. His government must be honest and will never allow any ** phenomenon to happen. He will not invite guests to dinner, give gifts, and provide power. If this is the case, then it is possible for him to send the power director to prison and kill chickens to monkeys to see.

"President Kusai, this large-scale equipment is the electroslag resolving equipment we introduced from Austria. The steel used to make gun barrels is the strongest of all steels. Therefore, we need to further smelve more on the basis of the alloy steel we produce ourselves, and this equipment is used." Dr. Boer said.

Kusai also has a little understanding. In later generations, all artillery and advanced workpieces used were called electroslag resolving technology. The main purpose was to purify metals and obtain steel ingots with uniform and dense clean tissue. Steel remelted by electroslag has high purity, low sulfur content, few non-metallic inclusions, smooth surface of the steel ingot, clean, uniform and dense, and uniform metallographic structure and chemical composition. The casting mechanical properties of electroslag steel can reach or exceed the index of forgings of the same steel type, and are excellent steel.

Iraq wanted to produce artillery by itself, but it would definitely not work without such things. When introducing Steyr heavy trucks in Austria, it introduced metal production equipment, among which there was a new production process that had just become popular at this time.

In order to achieve the technology of producing artillery, in addition to equipment, the process flow during production is also very important. Dr. Boer mastered all the processes, turning from a steel ingot into a final gun barrel. All the processes will be put on the right track under the command of Dr. Boer.

"In addition to the gun barrel, if the artillery wants to exert its power, the artillery shell is a key aspect, especially the powerful launching medicine. Therefore, on the side where the artillery factory is needed, we will establish a new ammunition production plant to produce new types of long-range full-bore bottom-mounted bombs that we have developed." Dr. Boer continued.

Kurse was very happy to hear Dr. Boer's words. He said it well at all. If you want to exert your power, shells are more important! Especially the launching medicines for shells, all kinds of formulas are kept confidential. Dr. Boer has profound attainments in this regard.

While speaking, the secretary reported that the director of the Electric Power Bureau was here.

When he heard that the president summoned him in person and went to the artillery factory, the director of the Electric Power Bureau did not dare to delay and immediately drove here overnight.

Moreover, he was very nervous inside. He summoned him to go to that place and knew why. He shuddered when he thought of President Kusai might get angry.

Kusai did not meet him alone, but asked him in front of Dr. Bour: "I have issued special documents and must ensure the production of the artillery factory. As the director of the Power Bureau of Baghdad, you should have received the documents, right?"

Dr. Boer looked at the director of the Electric Power Bureau. When he went to find him, he didn't see him like this. His bad manners made Dr. Boer really want to have a fight with him, but the two sides couldn't argue. Dr. Boer didn't know how to speak Arabic, and the translator would never help the translator.

"Yes, President Kusai, but you have also issued other documents to ensure the production of tank manufacturers, automobile manufacturers and other other factories. You have also issued documents to ensure the power supply in Baghdad city, and the power supply required by this artillery factory is quite huge. Therefore, we can only separate the time period and within a week, we can only ensure sufficient power supply here for half a day. The power consumption here is almost one-tenth of our power supply in Baghdad city."

What? Kusai couldn't believe that the electricity consumption of this artillery factory is certain, but it is not that exaggerated, right?

Electroslag resolution is a method of melting by using the resistive heat generated by the current through the slag as a heat source. It is heated by electricity by force. Heating the ingot to a level that can be melted is quite power-consuming. In addition to electroslag resolution, there are other equipment, large hydraulic presses, etc., which consume a lot of electricity when it is started. Iraq was originally just a country that exported oil, and power generation only met civilian needs. Now, a large number of new factories have been built around Baghdad, with an increase in industrial projects and supporting equipment not keeping up. The problem of power shortage has gradually become worse.

"It seems that we need a new power plant," Kusai said.

"The nuclear power plant we introduced from the Soviet Union is currently under construction, but it will take at least two years to be completed." The Director of the Electric Power Bureau said: "So, the problem of our current power shortage can only be like this in the short term."

Dr. Boer was a little unhappy when he heard the translation. The power shortage was something he had never expected in Western countries.

"From the future, from midnight to 5 am every day, the power supply will be restricted in non-key areas in Baghdad city. This is the peak period for most residents to use this power to temporarily ensure the energy supply in our areas. In addition to nuclear power plants, we also need to build a thermal power plant in Kazimain. Our future projects will be more and more power," said Kusai.

"Yes," replied the Director of the Electric Power Bureau.

"Dr. Boole, we may need to change to night shifts in the near future. We can only meet the electricity demand here at night for the time being. We will change this situation as soon as possible." Kusai said.

"No problem, as long as there is electricity," Dr. Boer agreed happily.
