Fang Mingyuan remembered that there was an incident in his previous life, which clearly stated the importance of domestically produced special steel.

After the "Varyag" aircraft carrier was towed back to China, it docked in the port area without any movement for many years. For a time, people in the country even thought that it would continue to dock like this. But later, people realized that it was not the country that was doing this. The "Varyag" aircraft carrier did not want to start the renovation project immediately after returning to China, but because the steel used in the aircraft carrier is very different from the steel used in ordinary warships.

In particular, the steel used in the flight deck of an aircraft carrier has extremely high requirements. Not only must it be able to withstand the high temperature emitted by the engine when the aircraft takes off, but it must also be able to withstand the heavy impact when the aircraft lands. Otherwise, once deformation occurs, the consequences will be undeniable. .

At that time, there were only four countries in the world that could produce steel for aircraft carrier manufacturing - Russia, the United States, France, and Japan. Among them, Russia and the United States were well-deserved powers. The special steel they produced for aircraft carriers each had its own advantages and disadvantages. However, the comprehensive performance far exceeds that of France and Japan, and it can be used to manufacture aircraft carrier flight decks and submarine hulls. The special steel materials for aircraft carriers in both countries are regarded as important military materials and will not be exported without approval at all levels. The French Although the special steel produced for aircraft carriers is also made of alloys made of those materials, due to problems with the formula and process, the overall performance is far inferior to that of Russia and the United States. Therefore, the French's own Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier is purchased from the special steel of the American aircraft carrier. The British They bought special steel for aircraft carriers from the French, but the aircraft carrier they built is only suitable as a carrier for vertical short take-off and landing aircraft and helicopters. It is not suitable for carrying supersonic fixed-wing fighters.

In order to transform the "Varyag" aircraft carrier, it is necessary to have qualified aircraft carrier steel. On the one hand, domestic research and development was active, and on the other hand, it was purchased from Russia. It was not until a few years later that the transformation began. And until Fang Mingyuan passed away in his previous life, it is said that .It is just said that China has developed special steel for aircraft carriers that meets the standards!

In this life, when the "Varyag" aircraft carrier was introduced, Fang Mingyuan reminded Zhao Nan about the issue of special steel for the aircraft carrier. He also specifically contacted Belevsky for this purpose and asked him to speak in front of the new president. Help Hua Xia as much as possible. But so far, there is no clear news. Fang Mingyuan does not intentionally inquire, lest some people in the country have an excuse to attack the Fang family.

When it comes to special steel for military use, Fang Mingyuan will certainly not come into contact with it easily, but special steel for civilian use does not have so many worries.

Fang Mingyuan knew very well. With the development of China's steel industry, the output was getting higher and higher, and the price of iron ore was also rising. The profits that could be obtained from ordinary steel were getting lower and lower, and even later, the cost of producing one ton of steel was The profit is not enough to buy a hamburger at KFC. However, special steel has a large number of buyers both in the domestic market and the international market.

Moreover, the higher the performance of special steel, the higher the price. Four to five thousand US dollars per ton is too common. China imports special steel every year, spending billions of dollars in foreign exchange.

And for special steels that are involved in nuclear power plants, marine engineering facilities, high-speed rail, and military products, the prices are even more astonishing. Therefore, in foreign countries, some steel plants can produce only a few hundred thousand tons a year, and their lives are still very comfortable.

This is also the main reason why Fang Mingyuan was able to open the door to the domestic steel industry through the Special Steel Association. The domestic steel industry was in great need of these special steel patents.

Over the years, although the Pingchuan District Smelting Technology Research Institute has achieved many gratifying results, compared with the huge special steel industry, there are still large gaps that need to be filled. And Fang Mingyuan plans to use the Liaoning Steel Plant as the core

Integrating a large-scale steel group also requires more special steel production as the core product to ensure profitability.

Although the special steel he chose is not the most advanced in the world, and the most advanced cannot be easily sold, even in a country like Ukraine, domestic demand is relatively large, and the quality of the products is higher than that of domestic products.

Similar products are either not yet produced in China. And for some of them, if we can continue to develop them on the basis of them, we may be able to obtain special steels with even better quality.

Artorov regards these special steel patents as useless, largely because the output of these special steels in Ukraine is not high, and the export volume is not large. However, he ignores that Ukraine has a land area of ​​only 600,000

Square kilometers, with a population of less than 50 million, the infrastructure is basically complete, and the export market is always aimed at European countries. The domestic market is small, there is no production scale, and the cost cannot be suppressed, so the sales volume is naturally limited. And China itself is

The demand for special steel is a huge market! In fact, there are many types of special steel that Fangyuan wants. Although he has been resting on his laurels, Ukraine is still a country with a developed military industry. There are all kinds of special steel models, but there are many

For special steel, even if Fang Mingyuan is willing to purchase the patent at a high price, Ukraine may not be willing to sell it.

Naturally, these thoughts cannot be fully expressed to Altorov.

The plane soon landed in the Ukrainian city of Dnepropetrovsk. The goal of the group's trip was the Dnipropetrovsk Steel Plant, the largest special steel production base in the former Soviet Union, located on the banks of the Dnieper River. The plant

It was established as early as the 1930s and was the first steel plant in the world to master electroslag remelting technology. It is also world-renowned in the field of powdered high-speed steel production. Its products are widely used in aerospace,

It is used in many important fields such as aviation, military, automobile, petrochemical and mold manufacturing. To this day, Dnipropetrovsk Steel Plant is still the largest special steel production plant in the CIS countries.

Fang Mingyuan, through Altorov, had already said hello to the Dnepropetrovsk Steel Plant half a month ago and wanted to visit.

When the plane landed at the airport and slid onto the tarmac, there were already people waiting there.

"This friend of Representative Artorov has quite a lot of background!" Nina Noshenkov, manager of the quality department of the steel plant, couldn't help blurting out as she looked at the behemoth in front of her. They originally thought that Artorov and the others were sitting there.

It was a small business jet that came, but when they saw it with their own eyes, they realized that they had completely misunderstood.

"This is a Boeing BBJ2 business jet. It is based on Boeing's 737-800 aircraft. Its maximum range exceeds tens of thousands of kilometers. Its fuselage is nearly 40 meters long. If used by airlines for transportation, it can normally carry nearly 200 people.

The price of a person in the international market is almost 100 million US dollars. Do you think this person can be an ordinary person?" Standing next to Nina Noshenkov, the public relations manager in charge of external public relations Anara Poklohn

Kaya is an out-and-out beauty, but at this moment all the beauties’ eyes fell on the business jet in front of them, as if it was a beautiful man who could conquer the country.

Everyone present couldn't help but take a breath. A business jet is worth 100 million US dollars! No one doubted Anara Poklonkaya's words. As the manager of the public relations department, she was enjoying luxury

His vision is beyond the reach of everyone present.

"Everyone, cheer up!" Feyemov Maxim, the general manager of the steel plant, said solemnly, "Get ready to welcome the distinguished guests!" Not to mention Altorov's status as a member of the parliament, the friend he brought with him

Obviously he is not an ordinary person!

However, when Fang Mingyuan and Altorov stepped off the ramp of the plane, everyone couldn't help but be surprised by Fang Mingyuan's youth. If it weren't for Altorov deliberately being half a step behind Fang Mingyuan, which revealed Fan Mingyuan's identity, otherwise

If so, they must think that this person is the secretary or assistant of that big shot.

Anara Poklonkaya also turned her attention from the plane to Fang Mingyuan. Smart people understand that although gold is good, the person who can turn stone into gold is even better! Especially when Fan Mingyuan is still so young!

Altorov introduced both parties, but he didn't say much about Fang Mingyuan's identity. Naturally, Maxim and others were well informed and didn't ask any more questions.

However, when those seats were pulled out from the bottom of the plane, Maxim and others were really moved. General Manager Maxim was invited to go with Altorov, Fang Mingyuan, and Li Xintong.

.

The city of Dnepropetrovsk is not big, with a total of only 380 square kilometers. The Dnipropetrovsk International Airport is only 15 kilometers away from the city, so the convoy soon drove into Dnipropetrovsk.

Rovsk city.

Although Dnipropetrovsk is one of the main political, industrial, financial, scientific, tourism and cultural centers in Ukraine, it is also a famous aerospace technology city in Ukraine, an important railway and shipping hub, and a famous "university town".

It has Ukraine's top concert halls and art theaters, but its total population is only more than 1.3 million people. In China, it can only be regarded as the size of a third-tier city.

"That's our Ukrainian State Dnipro University, which is one of the largest education centers in Ukraine!" Maxim proudly pointed out the scenery on the roadside to Fang Mingyuan, while Altorov temporarily acted as a translator.

job.

After a short journey, the convoy arrived at the gate of the Dnipropetrovsk Steel Plant and in front of a tall office building that was obviously full of Soviet style.

"Huh?" Maxim, who hadn't gotten out of the car yet, looked at the cars parked in front of the office building and let out a surprised cry.
