After getting his hands on the 'synthetic ammonia' technology, Eder continued to care about the Romanian industrial construction led by himself.

After more than three years of construction, a large number of factories have been established in Bucharest, Constanta, Ploiesti, etc. There are all kinds of supporting facilities in large factories, but in small factories with dozens of people, there are not so good conditions.

Now Edel is looking at the statistics on this, and the most nervous thing right now is electricity. In several industrial cities, the electricity supply is not bad due to the presence of large factories. However, there are also power rationing, coupled with the situation of domestic electricity, the demand will continue to expand in the next few years.

"We can only be counted on to pay for infrastructure." Eder is also very troubled by this, and the government's finances are now struggling to cope with the reorganization of the army, and it is still completed under the premise that the number of factories has gradually increased and the fiscal revenue has increased in the past two years.

If the economy is still the same as before, the government will not be able to come up with the money to make an emergency plan. Previously, Prime Minister Stewarley failed to pay enough salaries to officials below because of the government's lack of money. It was talked about by lower-level officials, and it was only after they were finally made up that these voices disappeared.

"Go and get Mr. Hirsman Advisor." Edel commanded the chief of the guard. Now the crown prince needs to understand the future trend of electricity supply growth, so as to purposefully reduce the occurrence of such a situation.

The next day, Edel met Hirschmann in his office. As a German, Hersmann has a strict German designation, is extremely responsible for his work, and occasionally likes to travel and enjoy the beautiful scenery of various places.

"I've seen Your Highness, I don't know what I can do for the crown prince." Hirsman knew that the crown prince must have something to do with him, so he asked directly.

"Hirsmann, you are an electricity expert, I don't know if you have any good advice about the current power shortage in Romania?" The crown prince asked Hirsman in the hope that he would give professional advice.

Hersmann has been working in Romania for several years, first at Siemens and later as a technologist for a small thermal power plant in Romania. Later, Eder met him during the inspection, and the crown prince felt that Hirschmann was not bad. After the payment in Germany, he became his own consultant, specializing in consulting Eder on electricity.

"Crown Prince, the problem of the current power shortage is that Romania's industry is developing rapidly, and the construction of power plants has not kept up due to large investment." Hirsman said euphemistically, this is Edel's previous money for the purchase of equipment was not thoughtful.

How could Edel not understand what Hirsman meant, he had no experience in introducing equipment and technology before, and only cared about the more conspicuous industries such as steel, chemical industry, and military industry, and only prepared 10 5,000 KW generator sets at that time, and the results were very good, but the small factories that did not do the supporting were taken into account, and the power plant was a large investment with low returns, and it was almost impossible to get private capital investment, so it became what it is now. (Capital likes industries with high returns, such as investing in light industry, finance, etc.)

"Now that I'm going to change that, I wonder what reasonable advice Mr. Hirsman can give me?" Edel was also unambiguous and directly stated his request.

Hearing the crown prince's question, Hirsman replied. "I think that the power facilities that are being built now need to take into account the development of the next few years. Romania has good hydropower resources and can build hydropower plants to solve the problem of electricity supply in cities that rely on rivers. Other cities can build coal-fired power plants nearby. ”

Eder listened to the advice of his adviser that it would be cheaper for the electricity produced by the hydroelectric power station, but the upfront investment was too large (3-4 times that of the thermal power plant), and Eder planned to have the money. The construction cost of thermal power stations is still relatively economical, and the management of serious pollution, high personnel and staff costs, and high operating costs, but now is not the time to consider.

"Mr. Consultant, can you estimate the electricity demand in Romania in a few years?" Edel asked about the topics he cared about most.

"Okay, Your Highness, I expect that in a few years, Romania will need about 30-400,000 kilowatts of installed capacity to meet the demand, of which Constanta will use a little more." Hirschman faced the crown prince's question and gave his own advice.

After a conversation between Crown Prince Eder and Hirsmann, he learned about the current use of electricity in Romania. I also have a general understanding of the development of electricity in the future

"Thank you very much for your help, I will fully consider your suggestion." Edel spoke to Hirsman, then turned to the chief of the guard. "Send me His Excellency Shechelsman."

Calucte stepped forward and stretched out his hand to guide Mr. Advisor. "Your Excellency Hirsman, please."

Hirsman nodded to the chief of the guard. "Thank you."

After Edel sent Hirsman away, he was thinking about what his advisor had just said. At present, the price of a 10,000-kilowatt thermal power generation unit is around 15,000 to 18,000 pounds. According to the minimum standard, the light generator set will cost 450,000 pounds, plus other supporting boilers, steam turbines, etc., at least 800,000 pounds will be required to meet the minimum demand.

Eder knew that a few years later would explode at one stop, when Romania was back in a period of rapid economic development. Hirsmann's estimate of the amount used is far from sufficient.

According to Eder's estimate, there is an installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatts to basically meet the demand, according to Eder's plan, then this will require 1.4 million to 1.6 million pounds to meet the demand, and now the royal family funds need to repay the United States and leave reserves, only 3.14 million pounds can be used. The money Eder also had other uses, and it was only £1.2 million when it was deducted, which was obviously not enough.

Even at this point, Eder also sighed, industry is difficult to build. I don't know how others managed to easily establish an industry in the books I read in my previous life.

Eder thought about it for a moment and suddenly thought of a crisis that had caused the collapse of the government of a large country in the East, which might be used to raise funds for his own power plant. However, before that, we still need to consider the issue of power plant construction.

Eder called the chief of guard, Calust, and asked him to send a tender message to Siemens AG and General Motors of the United States to build a batch of thermal power plants with a total installed capacity of 500,000 kilowatt hours, and soon the message was placed on the desks of the top executives of the two companies. In the face of a big business worth about 1.5 million pounds, both companies are very serious.

GM decided to send a company executive to lead the team to participate in the bidding, and Siemens also decided to line up as the vice president to lead the team to participate.
