Chief Engineer He, I've been waiting for you. Qiu Yang led Baosan's management and technicians to greet him outside the factory.

Hello, Mr. Qiu. He Xingzhou shook hands with him and said briefly, We have already tested the melting furnace at the research institute, and we can conduct trial production here.

That's great! Qiu Yang instructed his assistant, Hurry up and let the workers come over and install the furnace!

At the same time, he whispered to He Xingzhou: He, Chief Engineer, there are several technical experts from Sakura Country who want to observe it. Is there any problem?

Before He Xingzhou could answer, he took the initiative to explain: They are all from Sakura Steel Company, and our China imports 2 million tons of special steel from them every year. Recently, they are still raising the price of special steel.

If they knew we could also make special steel, special steel prices would come down very quickly.

He Xingzhou nodded and said, No problem. Even if I dismantled my equipment, they still don't know how it was made. They can't see anything during the smelting process, so they can visit it.

Alright then, I'll find them here and kill their prestige! Qiu Yang asked people to invite Nishikawa Kenta and others.

In the factory, workers transport and install plasma furnaces under the command of experts from scientific research institutes.

This is a big guy, divided into several large components, including plasma generators, smelting furnaces, refining chambers, water-cooled crystallization chambers, and so on.

It took hours to install these things.

During this process, He Xingzhou directed and followed up the whole process, and Baosan's technical experts were also learning from the side.

This didn't allow the experts at Sakura Steel to come in until they were installed.

Is this the plasma furnace they produced? Nishikawa Kenta looked at the new equipment in the melting workshop. From the appearance, he really couldn't see anything.

The difference of this kind of equipment mainly lies in the internal structure design.

Several other Sakura experts were also making eye contact, and most of them were suspicious.

Before coming, they had discussed it.

Experts led by Kenta Nishikawa stubbornly believe that this so-called plasma furnace cannot produce special steel with excellent performance!

Nagata-kun, you stare at them, don't let them turn their backs on us. Nishikawa Kenta told one of the experts to stare at the inlet and outlet.

Make sure these guys aren't dropping the smelted steel.

Hi! Nagata Yusuke looked serious and followed the workers on the production line to check the raw materials.

After a while, Nagata Yusuke came back and replied, There is no problem with the materials.

We can start. He Xingzhou said, while Ding Yue had already set up the camera to shoot video for him.

He Xingzhou explained to the camera: Everyone, now we are in a steel smelting workshop of Baosan Iron and Steel Group, testing the plasma smelting furnace we use to make special steel. Let's start smelting!

The picture is aimed at the feeding port, and a large amount of raw materials are put into the melting chamber of the furnace.

He Xingzhou activated the button of the furnace, and the experts were silent, observing the instrument panel.

At this time, the electric current enters the plasma generator and heats the mixed gas inside to generate plasma.

The plasma starts to generate electricity and an arc is formed. When the arc is compressed by the external airflow, the wall or the external magnetic field, the arc column becomes thinner, the temperature is higher, and the energy is highly concentrated, a compression arc is formed.

The compression arc starts to smelt the raw material, and the raw material is melted by the plasma flame in a very short time for various refining and purification.

Three minutes, the power has surpassed our existing high-temperature arc furnace! Qiu Yang looked at the numbers on the dashboard in surprise. The power has soared and has reached the world's top level.

Just looking at the power meter, Nishikawa Kenta and other Sakura experts have serious expressions. With this power, it is difficult to think that the melting effect of this plasma furnace is bad!

Soon, the first smelting of the plasma furnace has been completed, and the raw materials have been melted into molten metal.

At this time, the smelting of special steel has not been completed, and a secondary remelting is required. During the remelting process, impurities are further removed, and other required elements are added at the same time, such as carbon and other elements of the required alloy metal.

The special steel they are going to melt this time is an ultra-pure bearing steel. It can be used to make bearings for automobile engines and motors, as well as tanks, aircraft, and aircraft carriers!

This kind of steel is currently only produced by a very small number of countries in the Lighthouse Country, Germany and the Cherry Blossom Country!

Previously, China had always relied on imports, and many times it was difficult to buy with money!

Everyone waited patiently, the furnace reaction process has been stable, time has passed, the technicians of He Xingzhou's team and the senior management of Baosan slowly let go.

There has been no problem in the smelting process, which shows that the safety and stability of the equipment are OK. Just wait and wait for the performance test of special steel!

Nishikawa-kun, this equipment doesn't seem to be simple! Nagata Yusuke whispered to Nishikawa Kenta, he already felt something was wrong.

This plasma furnace has been running at extremely high power for half a day, and the molten metal has also undergone a secondary furnace. The operators joined in and prepared alloy materials to join them. In the water-cooled crystallization chamber, the special steel has begun to be formed!

Be patient, smelting metal doesn't mean anything, you have to check the properties of the product. Nishikawa Kenta said this, but he began to feel a little unconfident in his heart.

Come out, the first product! At the discharge port, the plasma furnace has smelted several special steel samples.

The smooth surface reflects the metallic luster, and the color of steel looks very powerful, like a wishful gold hoop!

Check now! Qiu Yang said impatiently, Experts, Mr. Nishikawa, let's go together?

Go, let's test the performance! Bao San's executives and a large group of experts squeezed into the testing area.

Nagata Yusuke was also afraid that they would fake it, so he personally participated in the test.

They want to test the strength, stiffness, toughness, plasticity, corrosion resistance and other properties of steel.

@He Xingzhou, have the steel test results come out? Qin Peng asked impatiently in the chat group of the Xuanwu executive.

He and He Hongwei have been paying attention to this matter. If they can manufacture special steel and other high-grade metals themselves, they will also usher in great development in the manufacture of military weapons and equipment!

Immediately, wait a few quarters of an hour. He Xingzhou replied.

In the testing area, the samples are undergoing various tests, and each item of data is recorded in the computer system.

Finally, all inspection items are completed, and a final inspection report is printed out by the printer.

He Xingzhou first got the test report. As he thought, all the indicators perfectly meet the needs of ultra-pure bearing steel. The steel smelted this time belongs to the super-first-class special steel!

His expression was indifferent, which was expected, but the crowd around him were all looking at him nervously, waiting for him to announce the result.
