Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

"Director Jiang, you're here!" Xie Ruyu was a little happy when she saw Jiang Chen.

In this era, there is an obsession with steel production.

This is true for people all over the country.

As a senior executive of a steelmaking plant, Xie Ruyu is certainly no exception.

However, the efficiency of open-hearth steelmaking determines that the upper limit is not high, and steel production can only be achieved through high-density labor costs.

Now there is a steel-making method that can increase the efficiency countless times, which undoubtedly stimulates their G-spot.

During the experiment, thanks to the full support of Shijingshan Steelmaking Plant, everyone including Su Changming and others were dispatched by Shijingshan.

So they have a unique advantage.

But if this advantage does not turn into a victory, he will not be able to rest assured.

Now that Jiang Chen is here, they are only one step away from victory, and the excitement in his heart is beyond words.

Jiang Chen smiled and took the cigarette handed over by Xie Ruyu with both hands, lit the match, first lit the cigarette for Xie Ruyu, and then lit it for himself:

"I just finished arranging things in the laboratory in the past two days, and I came here after receiving the news from Gong Su."

"By the way, this is Shangguan Wan'er, my assistant, here to study."

Xie Ruyu said: "Hello, Comrade Shangguan, welcome."

Shangguan Wan'er smiled shyly and said, "Director Xie, you can just call me Wan'er."

Jiang Chen said: "Thank you, director, for telling me what your factory thinks."

Xie Ruyu said directly: "Our factory is planning to build ten 200-ton converters and become a pure converter steelmaking manufacturer."

"The existing open-hearth furnaces are all used to melt molten iron and support converter steelmaking."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "Director Xie, you are going a little too far."

"Let me do the math for you. If a 200-ton converter is well organized and has a sufficient supply of molten iron, it will have no problem producing 20 furnaces of steel in one shift. That's 40000 tons a day. Excluding holidays, the output is over 100 million tons."

"You are a converter. You can produce more than 10 million tons a year, which is more than the national steel production last year. Do you think it is possible?"

"Yes, we want to significantly increase steel production, but we can't be so exaggerated, right?"

Moreover, Jiang Chen still based these figures on the low end.

The design of the 200-ton converter has a starting capacity far exceeding 200 tons.

Once the steelmaking plant is proficient in refining, as long as there are enough materials, there is a high probability that the production will exceed the standard.

Shijingshan Steelworks is particularly fond of doing this kind of thing.

He vaguely remembered that in his original life, the Shijingshan Steelmaking Plant used three 3-ton converters and the "three-blow-two" process to produce 30 million tons of steel per year, more than double the designed capacity.

Calculating according to this indicator, a 200-ton converter can produce nearly 300 million tons of output per year.

10.

Of course, to achieve this, the requirements for deployment capabilities are relatively high.

The furnace has just been discharged here. After cleaning the cinders, the furnace materials are quickly filled, molten iron is injected, and the next furnace of steel is refining to start the converter.

Xie Ruyu laughed: "Hahaha, isn't this an idea? I didn't say it would be done in one step."

Jiang Chen said: "The number of converters depends on the raw materials you can prepare and the molten iron you can smelt every day."

"Otherwise, there will not be enough raw materials to repair the converter, which is a waste."

Shijingshan Steelmaking Plant was originally an ironmaking company. It was not until a few years ago that it began to transform into steelmaking and received great support.

Xie Ruyu smiled and said: "Then, let's build two converters first."

In fact, the previous ten were just a kind of temptation for him.

If Jiang Chen agrees, it will be a surprise.

After all, if ten converters are really built, Shijingshan will become the number one steelmaking plant in the country.

As for resources, if you have a converter, are you worried about not having resources?

Just deploy it from other places. As for the possible increase in transportation costs, he doesn't think it is unacceptable.

Improving production capacity is the first priority.

Of course, it doesn’t matter if Jiang Chen refuses, it’s just a try anyway.

Jiang Chen nodded: "If it's two seats, I think it's okay."

"After all, our position is special. Even if we can't become the number one steelmaking plant, we should at least be in the top ten."

The company is located in Sijiu City, which has advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage is that this is the capital, so you can get more benefits and care.

The disadvantage is that it is relatively far away from the origin of various materials, and the cost of obtaining raw materials is relatively higher than that of factories built in raw material areas.

Xie Ruyu pointed to the open space next to the open-hearth furnace: "I plan to build the converter at this location. Later, the open-hearth furnace will be slightly modified into an iron-making furnace, which will be convenient for the supply of molten iron."

Jiang Chen took a brief look and found that this plan was reasonable.

After all, it is a professional steelmaking plant. In addition to not building a converter, they are also professional in other things.

Jiang Chen said: "Okay, are all the materials ready?"

Xie Ruyu nodded: "The materials and workers are ready. Comrade Su Changming has checked several times to make sure nothing is missing."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Are you going to hold a groundbreaking ceremony?"

Xie Ruyu shook his head: "We don't have such a plan. If Jiang Gong wants to do it, he can also do it."

Jiang Chen said: "Then no need, just call the master and let's get started."

"Su Gong has experience and can serve as on-site conductor. I am responsible for professional guidance."

Xie Ruyu nodded: "Okay."

Then Su Changming was called: "Gong Su, let's get started. You will be the on-site commander, and Director Jiang will be responsible for technical guidance."

Su Changming nodded: "Okay."

Jiang Chen took out the drawings from his bag again: "Director Xie, this is a 200-ton converter body. It needs to be made of alloy steel. You can arrange this."

Changing the converter from 30T to 200T is not as simple as simply expanding the volume.

Each of its parameters must be adjusted to ensure that it has sufficient bearing capacity and pressure resistance.

Xie Ruyu took the drawing:

"Hehe, luckily I secretly left a part of the alloy steel to refining the furnace body."

"Otherwise, it may be sent to a tool factory to produce tools, which may affect our progress."

I have to say, this guy is quite courageous.

In order to increase his own steel production faster, he dared not follow the instructions of the Ministry of Industry and kept some alloy steel privately.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Then hurry up and refine it!"

Jiang Chen has to take a standardized test and try not to make any mistakes in the process.

Xie Ruyu said: "Okay, I will make arrangements right away. It will definitely not affect your work progress."

"By the way, let's eat at the canteen for lunch, and we and I will have some drinks."

Jiang Chen said: "I'm still working this afternoon, what should I drink at noon?"

Xie Ruyu said: "No one in the Four-Nine City circle knows how powerful you are, Director Jiang."

"It's okay, drink less, it won't affect you."

Jiang Chen thought for a moment: "Okay, then drink less."

Unlike later generations who only valued interests, now everyone still values ​​​​favors.

If your relationship is good, people will only think of you when good things happen to you.

Otherwise, even if you are in Niu, people will only think of you when needed.
