Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Shijingshan Steelmaking attaches great importance to this steelmaking.

All arrangements were made in advance.

A temporary observation area was set up in a safe area next to the converter.

In fact, using gai is more appropriate.

A few steel blocks are placed on the ground, ropes are tied around them, and a few sets of tables and chairs for leaders are placed in front, and a temporary observation area is completed.

The reason for doing this is mainly because this is the first time that Shijingshan Steelmaking Plant uses a converter to make steel. If there is any improper operation, safety accidents may easily occur.

In particular, some people like to watch the excitement and want to put their heads inside the converter to have a look.

In such a safe area, defining a safe activity area for everyone can effectively avoid unexpected situations.

The open-hearth furnace in the steelmaking plant has been started early to provide the converter with molten iron needed for steelmaking.

For this gift, the workers came to the factory before dawn and started busy.

Jiang Chen came to the scene and carefully checked the converter again to make sure there were no omissions.

This posture is so big, but you must not turn good things into bad things, and turn glory into a joke.

After checking it again, Jiang Chen called Lu Yuehua, who was also doing technical support earlier: "How is it, are you proficient in operating this oxygen concentrator? Is it easy to use?"

Lu Yuehua said: "This Western thing is really easy to use. It is not only powerful in function, but also easy to operate with no technical content."

"And they have also thought carefully. They not only purchased oxygen concentrators, but also purchased gas bottles. I have stored various gases in gas bottles by category. When the time comes, I can open the valve and use it directly."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Check more carefully. It concerns the face of the country, so there can't be any accidents."

Lu Yuehua chuckled: "Director Jiang, don't worry when I handle things. I have carefully checked them countless times. There will definitely be no problems."

Although Lu Yuehua is a little impulsive and speaks without thinking, he is still relatively reliable in his work.

Seeing that he was so sure, Jiang Chen stopped talking.

Jiang Chen said to Shangguan Wan'er: "Wan'er, you have never participated in the converter steelmaking experiment before. Although you have memorized the key points, the practical operation is still far behind. Today you just want to learn from Teacher Lu."

"Although our job is mainly to supervise the construction of the converter, we must also understand the key points of steelmaking, otherwise we will not know anything when asked in the future, which would be embarrassing."

Shangguan Wan'er nodded: "Okay, master, I will definitely study hard with Teacher Lu."

At about ten o'clock, several leaders appeared together.

They had arrived a long time ago, but they just didn't come to the scene.

The leading team members are Zhou Xinjian and Xie Ruyu.

There is also a short and thin old man, who should be Luo Yunyang, the leader of the promotion team.

Seeing Jiang Chen, Zhou Xinjian waved: "Xiao Jiang, come here!"

Reward and Punishment came up and said hello: "Minister Zhou, thank you to the factory director."

"And this one should be Team Leader Luo, right?"

Zhou Xinjian nodded: "Well, he is team leader Luo Yunyangluo."

"Team Leader Luo, this little guy is Jiang Chen. Despite his young age, he is very experienced and has something on his mind."

Luo Yunyang smiled and stretched out his hand: "Comrade Jiang Chen, I have heard of your name countless times, and it is like thunder to my ears."

"The nationwide promotion of converter steelmaking this time depends on you."

After receiving the task, Luo Yunyang found information from the Ministry of Industry and gained some knowledge about converter steelmaking.

It’s just that after all, I’m old and slow to learn things, and I didn’t make up for it in the end.

At most, it can be regarded as a common sense understanding of converter steelmaking.

Fortunately, his positioning is very clear. He uses his identity and influence to coordinate manpower and material resources.

In terms of technology, we still have to rely on Jiang Chen and his technical team.

Reward and Punishment said: "Mr. Luo, I have also considered the promotion of converter steelmaking during this period. I feel that the technical support is still too weak."

"The core problem is the serious shortage of technical personnel. We will have to make a comprehensive summary later."

Luo Yunyang nodded: "Well, we will discuss it later when we finish observing the steelmaking here."

Zhou Xinjian said: "This converter steelmaking is a major event. As long as you have needs, the Ministry of Industry will definitely support it."

Then he turned to Xie Ruyu and said, "How are you preparing over there?"

Xie Ruyu said: "All preparations have been made. Leaders please go to the observation area and sit for a while."

"The first furnace of steel will be refining on time at ten o'clock."

Luo Yunyang smiled and said: "How come there is still time at this time?"

Xie Ruyu smiled awkwardly: "The factory director asked someone to check the time and said that this is a good point. It will not only protect the success of the first batch of steel, but also ensure that the Shijingshan Steelmaking Plant will prosper in the future."

Who says someone is the director of a factory, but he is the deputy?

When the factory director told him the time, he specifically mentioned Zhou Xinjian and the metaphysics of the celebration banquet.

Luo Yunyang said: "This is feudal superstition on your part. You must do otherwise."

Zhou Xinjian said with lingering fear: "It is better to believe that these things exist than to be careless."

He used to not believe in evil, but the lesson he learned was profound.

Even Yang Weimin is gone.

So he pays more attention to these things now.

Jiang Chen said: "It only takes a few minutes, it doesn't matter if you wait."

"We just took a perfectly good meaning at the time."

Luo Yunyang laughed: "You must be a cultured person and be able to speak."

The group of people came to the observation area and sat down on the chairs in front.

Jiang Chen said: "Leaders, please sit down, it's better for me to watch."

Zhou Xinjian shook his head: "Don't go, just be an audience for once!"

"Shi Jingshan also needs to grow up and be independent. Let them handle the steelmaking themselves."

"As long as there is no danger, don't speak. Wait until the steel is finished and then give them some pointers."

Jiang Chen pointed to the front: "Lv Yuehua over there is also one of mine."

"But this time Su Gong is in charge, so it's not a big problem. He has been involved in steelmaking many times."

Xie Ruyu said: "During this period, Su Gong repeatedly explained the key points of steelmaking to the selected key personnel in the factory. Everyone should have mastered it."

"However, considering the importance of this furnace of steel, Su Gong personally took action personally."

Zhou Xinjian nodded: "Lao Xie, other factories haven't even started building converters yet, but your factory has already built it. It can be regarded as far ahead."

"So, in terms of output and quality, I have to be far ahead."

Xie Ruyu said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, this is a must."

"But Mr. Zhou, can you batch a few more converters for our factory?"

Zhou Xinjian snorted: "This second building has just been approved, are you feeling unpopular again?"

"So what if I give you ten converters? Can your supply of molten iron keep up?"

Xie Ruyu said: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhou, as long as the higher-ups approve it, we will definitely be able to keep up."

"Now we have more than ten large open-hearth furnaces in our factory. Four open-hearth furnaces can almost supply the molten iron demand of one converter in one shift."

"As long as the converter is enough, we will continue to build the open furnace at worst. Anyway, the factory has enough open space."

An open-hearth furnace can smelt 5 tons of molten iron in about 500 hours.

The four open-hearth furnaces can produce almost 5 tons of molten iron in five hours.

After deducting preparation time and other losses, an average of 1500 tons of molten iron can be produced in five hours.

The converter steelmaking time is about 17 minutes, and the hot furnace is even faster.

Including other preparation time and steel tapping time, one furnace is half an hour, no problem.

It takes 5 hours to refine 2000 tons of steel. Excluding other scrap steel and other materials, about tons of molten iron are needed.

I can barely keep up.

Zhou Xinjian snorted: "You may think so. Everyone can do arithmetic, but steelmaking cannot rely on theory. There are many things you have to consider."

"Your material supply, coal supply, transportation capacity, transshipment capacity, etc., all need to be considered."

"I'll also give you a thorough explanation. Your factory only has a budget for two converters for the time being. We will adjust it later based on the actual situation."

"Okay!" Xie Ruyu also admitted.

He just wants to fight for it, approve it if he can, and there will be no loss if he doesn't.
