Material Empire

After seeing off Wang Xiaochen, Qin Hai returned to his desk. He didn't continue the work just now, but rested his chin on his hands, thinking about the Qingfeng factory.

Regarding Qingfeng Factory and Wei Baolin, Qin Hai had listened to Ning Mo and the others introduce them in detail in the past two days. Judging from Ning Mo's narration, Wei Baolin is a scholar who talks about war on paper, with great ambitions and few talents, and he is very selfish, nepotism, so that he turned a factory into a mess.

The foundation of Qingfeng Agricultural Machinery Factory is very good. Although the equipment in several workshops such as metalworking, casting, and assembly are not top-notch in the country, they have everything that one expects to find. Equipment like high-frequency induction hardening furnace is rare in this kind of county-level agricultural machinery factory, but it can be seen in Qingfeng Factory.

In addition to the condition of the equipment, the level of workers in the Qingfeng factory is not bad. According to Ning Mo and Wang Xiaochen, the skills of several veteran workers in Qingfeng Factory are well-known in the whole system. During the more than 10 years when Ning Zhongying was the factory manager, the atmosphere of learning technology was very strong in the factory, so the general workers were relatively skilled, and this tradition of learning technology has even continued to the present.

With such a good production base, if there is a capable head of the family and some good products, it will be easy to develop in such an era of rapid development, and it is not a big deal to become a top domestic company in the future.

It's a pity that the leader of Qingfeng Factory is a person like Wei Baolin who is eager for quick success and instant benefits. He will launch a new product with a pat on the head, and immediately deny it completely when encountering a setback, and will not even make any efforts to remedy it. No matter how good a company is, it will lose its vitality after several times of tossing like this. In the end, like many small and medium-sized state-owned enterprises in later generations, it sadly withdrew from the market.

Fate brought me to such an enterprise. With my own ability, it is not difficult to save this enterprise. The difficult thing is, can I have a platform to display my abilities?

Now it seems that Xiang Jiyong, Leng Yuming, and Xiao Dongping, the middle-level cadres, should want to save the factory, and they are also optimistic about Qin Hai's talent. However, these people are only middle-level people, and according to Ning Mo and the others, because these people are all generals under Ning Zhongying, they can't get used to Wei Baolin's behavior on weekdays. Wei Baolin tried to recruit them, so he sent them As an alternative. It was really because of the complicated procedures for appointing and dismissing cadres in state-owned enterprises that Wei Baolin couldn't find anything to do with them, so he couldn't remove them from these important positions.

After the meeting, Xiang Jiyong and the others went to the single building to find Qin Hai. The purpose was very obvious, that is, to hope that Qin Hai could help them solve the quality problem of the rotary tillage blades as soon as possible. However, Wei Baolin has already planned to switch to washing machines. What is the point of solving the problem of rotary tillage blades now?

Alas, it's going to rain, mother is going to get married, let them go, I'd better play with Ning Mo and the others first, earn some money to start a business, if Qingfeng Factory really collapses in the future, at least I won't be able to Go hungry.

After Qin Hai had made up his mind, he brought his mind back to his eyes and began to draw some designs of ordnance.

Early the next morning, Qin Hai arrived at the casting workshop on time, and saw that Xiang Jiyong and other three section chiefs and workshop director Miao Funan were already waiting for him in the office. A middle-aged worker.

"Leaders, I'm sorry, I'm late." Qin Hai did not hesitate to do a self-reflection first.

"You're not late, there are still five minutes until work time." Xiao Dongping looked at his watch and said to him.

"Now that we're here, let's talk about this high-frequency induction surfacing." Leng Yuming didn't have so much nonsense, and cut directly to the topic.

Miao Funan pointed to the middle-aged workers next to him and said, "These are all heat treatment workers in our workshop. These are Peng Jingen, Liu Jianping, and Wei Jiali, all old operators."

"Master Peng, Master Liu, and Master Wei." Qin Hai nodded to the workers one by one, and the other workers nodded slightly in return. However, every worker was thinking about one thing: just such a young boy, how could Section Chief Leng be so polite to him?

"Okay, let's stop talking, let me tell you about this high-frequency induction surfacing technology." Qin Hai didn't care what other people thought. If he wanted to convince others, he had to show the truth, otherwise , even if you have a big beard and a truckload of diplomas, what's the use?

"The purpose of high-frequency induction surfacing is to cover a layer of alloy welding layer on the surface of the workpiece to improve the wear resistance of the workpiece and prolong the service life of the wear-resistant workpiece.

The high-frequency induction surfacing process includes three aspects. One is the design of the position, shape and thickness of the welding layer. The cold section chief and they have the design information of the blade, which can be solved completely; the second is the preparation of the surfacing alloy material, which is An alloy powder requires uniform particle size, low melting point, good manufacturability, and cheapness; the third is the surfacing welding process specification, including current frequency, power, and surfacing welding time.

The latter two need to be determined according to our actual situation, including the material properties of our existing blades, the capabilities of existing equipment, and the source of alloy powder. In this regard, I can propose a general direction, but to find out the best alloy formula and specification parameters, it must be solved through experiments. "

At this point, Qin Hai took out some written papers from his pocket, handed them to Leng Yuming, and said, "Section Chief Leng, these are some formula materials and parameters I recalled last night, I may need to trouble Master Peng They actually experiment and find out what works best for them.”

Leng Yuming took the papers, looked at them carefully, nodded to Xiang Jiyong and Miao Funan, and said, "What Xiaoqin said is right, these parameters can only be determined by his own experiments, and this matter must be determined by himself." You two just give orders."

Miao Funan pointed to Xiang Jiyong and said, "Don't look at me, Lao Leng. Lao Xiang is the head of the production section. The production section will give me a task order, and I, the workshop director, will just execute it."

Xiang Jiyong frowned, and asked Leng Yuming: "Old Leng, how many times are you going to do these experiments you mentioned? You have to ask the craftsman to calculate the consumption and working hours. If the cost is less, I can make the decision. If there are too many, I will have to ask Wei Baolin for approval."

Leng Yuming said: "The formula listed by Xiaoqin is high-chromium cast iron powder, we can prepare it ourselves, but the specific gravity of chromium and the specific gravity of flux need to be tested. After calculating it in this way, I estimate that it will take a lot of time including materials and man-hours. A few hundred dollars."

"Hundreds of dollars..." Xiang Jiyong was embarrassed.

Qin Hai couldn't stand it anymore: "Several leaders, a few hundred yuan is not too much to experiment with a new technology, right? We... er, I mean, some big foreign companies want to develop a new heat treatment Craftsmanship is all spent on the scale of tens of millions of dollars, we won't even be reluctant to spend a few hundred dollars?"

If you want to say what is the most expensive thing in the entire industrial field, there is no doubt that it is materials. Some people think how dazzling the appearance of those famous international cars is, and imagine how much investment it takes to develop such a model, but in fact, compared with the expenditure on material formula and craftsmanship, the expenditure on appearance design is really insignificant. It's just a little bit of a big deal.

Building an aircraft carrier probably costs billions of dollars. And the development of high-temperature-resistant, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant special steel materials for aircraft carrier decks is also invested in one billion U.S. dollars.

As a material science expert of later generations, Qin Hai has an unforgettable experience of the cost of material research. Regardless of how well he has done in theory and how many amazing achievements he has made in the world, he is still far from implementing these theories into practice. There is only one reason, that is, no one can afford the huge amount of money required for this process.

Perhaps, in this life, I should regard earning money as the first priority. If I can become a billionaire, or even a super rich man of billions or tens of billions, then the theoretical assumptions of my previous life will also be realized. chance...

At this moment, Qin Hai suddenly found his goal of time travel and rebirth, which is to make money.

"Xiao Qin, what are you thinking?" Everyone noticed Qin Hai's brief absence. Xiao Dongping patted Qin Hai on the shoulder, bringing him back to reality from his dream of becoming Bill Gates.

"Oh, I mean, this surfacing process is related to the quality of a major product of our factory, and spending a few hundred dollars is not a big effort, right?" Qin Hai said in a hurry.

Xiang Jiyong had difficulties in his heart, but he couldn't tell this young man clearly. He nodded and said, "Let me settle this matter. Lao Miao, let Master Peng, Master Liu, and Master Wei do experiments according to the arrangement of Xiao Qin and Lao Leng, and report the consumption and working hours later. I Surely you won’t be asked to pay for reimbursement out of your own pocket.”

Miao Funan got Xiang Jiyong's promise, and without asking any further questions, he turned around and said to the heat treatment workers: "Old Peng, Lao Liu, and Lao Wei, you should follow the arrangement of Xiao Qin and Section Chief Leng. This matter is very important, and it involves whether the 20,000 blades in our factory can be brought back to life. Well done, I will report you this month's bonus."

Peng Jingen smiled and said, "Director Miao, you are really joking. The bonuses for the past two years have not been paid out. What's the use of reporting this month's bonus? However, if Master Qin's method is useful, it can make our factory It is also a great thing to sell the blades. At that time, if you can help me to the finance department and report the medical expenses for my child's measles in the first half of the year, I will kowtow to you."

"If things can be done, it's up to me." Xiao Dongping patted Miao Funan's chest and agreed to Peng Jingen's conditions.
