Scholars in the courtyard

"What is happening now is the transfer of molten iron."

When the experiment began, Yang Xiaotao did not sit idle, but began to introduce the operation from the side.

Everyone's eyes became nervous as they watched the large overhead crane transfer the molten iron from the blast furnace to the experimental converter.

At this moment, everyone knew that the experiment had begun.

The reporter who came with him pointed his camera at the work scene in front of him and quickly pressed the shutter.

In front of the rostrum, everyone held telescopes and looked at the orange liquid that was constantly rolling in their field of vision. Although they were far away, they still felt that a blazing heat was approaching.

The wind coming out of the northwest becomes much gentler.

"Old Chen, you have to help me with this matter."

While Wang Huzi listened to Yang Xiaotao's explanation, he stretched his head and leaned in front of Mr. Chen and whispered.

Mr. Chen put down the telescope. At this time, the large overhead crane was continuously transporting molten iron to the converter, with more and more trips.

The workers on the side were pushing the coal and starting to heat it.

"How can I help you with this?"

As Mr. Chen said this, he glanced at Mr. Huang and the others. It was obvious that he, the county magistrate, had to consider the people in charge of some matters.

"Old Chen, you also know that the current international situation was mentioned by your superiors during the last meeting."

"All walks of life, especially key factories, must move inland and be prepared for all battles."

Wang Huzi whispered, and Mr. Chen was slightly moved after hearing this.

"You said Xinjiang is so big this time, can it be regarded as inland? Can you move there?"

Mr. Chen moved his body and said, "Old Wang, don't take it too seriously. Your superiors said that it is an inland area that meets production conditions. Your place is full of desert and sandy land, and the transportation is inconvenient. The factory will be moved there. If nothing else, just These tens of thousands of people plus daily necessities for your family are enough for you."

Wang Huzi chuckled after hearing this, "Look, did I say there are so many people?"

"Even if we are building a series of branch factories in the northwest, we are not greedy. We can just build hundreds of small industrial banks with thousands of people."

"You're not greedy yet."

"What kind of greed is this? Look at them, they have hundreds of factories under their control."

Wang Huzi said nonchalantly, "Look at Wang Xiaolian. As soon as the Seventh Machinery Department was established, it was assigned to dozens of supporting factories."

"This is just for one machine department. The other parts can be put together evenly."

"We are not greedy!"

On the other side, Mr. Huang heard the conversation between the two, moved to the side, and whispered to Mr. Zhang from the Three Machinery Department.

"Be careful, the northwest wolf is coming, hide the meat well."

Mr. Zhang moved the telescope and nodded silently after hearing Mr. Huang's reminder.

Their three-machine department only sent out much more than the first-machine department, and this time it was also a stretch.

Otherwise, the armored assault vehicle project would not have been launched.

"Old Wang, you are making people very embarrassed."

"You are the ones who grow food. It is a bit difficult to develop industry now."

"It's not difficult. Didn't this machinery factory build an auto repair center in the northwest a while ago? This good guy solved our vehicle repair problem at once. The production of Youyiguo in the northwest is also very impressive. This all shows that the northwest There are conditions for building a heavy industrial base."

"As for the local difficulties you mentioned, our northwest is not all desert and sandy land. As you know, Ujiang City has oil and resources there, and now has a population of hundreds of thousands. It has developed well in the past few years. , it’s totally okay.”

Wang Huzi tried his best to persuade, and seemed a bit groveling, but those who knew him well knew that this was his true temperament.

He is also aware of his temperament that will not give up until he achieves his goal.

"Old Wang, does the higher ups know?"

Mr. Chen asked, and Wang Huzi sat back down.

In fact, this return was entirely the result of their own initiative by the northwest authorities.

Of course, this is also related to the recent development. After the successful planting of high-yield corn, a mature cultivation system has been established. Comrades from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences have mastered the quantity, and the seed cultivation work is on the right track.

This year, the superiors' tasks are completed, and they also want to try to develop industry.

After all, the whole country is engaged in construction, and they are no exception when they return to Xinjiang.

Coupled with their understanding of the country, and recently because of Yang Xiaotao, they have seen the possibility of developing industry.

"Why don't you come here to get some fresh air first and wait to report to the chief?"

Mr. Chen was dumbfounded, he must be killed first and then played.

No wonder Lao Huang and the others disagreed.

If their superiors agree, they dare to refuse.

"Let's talk about this later."

"Let's take a look at this new steel technology first. This time, people from the northwest are coming to learn it. Once they learn it well, it will help steel production."

Mr. Chen said and picked up the telescope again.

After hearing this, Wang Huzi also looked through binoculars with a serious expression.

As long as he can help return to Xinjiang for construction, he will not give up on anything.

"Comrades, the workers are now inspecting the shell of the boiler."

Yang Xiaotao looked at Li Junming and others who were observing carefully from a distance, and started explaining according to the operating procedures.

"The next step is the entry of the oxygen gun."

"Oxygen lances, as important equipment, can work in environments of up to thousands of degrees. This is mainly due to the heat exchange principle used in the design of oxygen lances. We use a large amount of rapidly flowing water to transfer heat out and maintain the oxygen lance nozzle. Continuing work”

"Next, it's important to note that we are not using gaseous pure oxygen, but liquid oxygen that we make ourselves, which requires us to carry out cryogenic refrigeration."

Yang Xiaotao explained to everyone while watching the workers operate one by one.

At this time, the critical moment has been reached.

An Zhongsheng once again asked someone to confirm that there was no problem with the liquid oxygen input device before allowing the experiment to continue.

"Liquid oxygen enters the converter through the oxygen lance. Under high-pressure impact, after the liquid oxygen rushes into the furnace, it will quickly contact the molten iron and interact with the molten iron to burn the carbon contained in the molten iron, thereby obtaining higher hardness. "

"At the same time, the high-pressure impact forms a spiral surface, which can drive the movement of the solution in the furnace, thereby accelerating smelting..."

Yang Xiaotao watched the action ahead and explained along the way, allowing everyone present to have a deeper understanding of the working principle.

With the steady injection of liquid oxygen, on-site workers always pay attention to the situation inside the converter.

"Now we need to pay attention at all times. We must not only pay attention to the color changes of the molten iron in the furnace and prepare for it to be discharged. We must also pay attention to problems that may arise at any time and make corresponding plans."

Everyone nodded after listening, but their eyes were constantly watching the operators, and some people even recorded the operation process.

"Is that the technician you invited back?"

Mr. Sun was behind, looking at An Zhongsheng in front of him and asked Mr. Xia.

"Yes, he was brought back by the steel factory, but now he should be the deputy section chief of the R\u0026D department, responsible for transforming the converter."

"Talent is rare."

Sun Lai sighed, feeling a little regretful that he was too slow to take action.

As the experiment progressed, Yang Xiaotao looked at the time and explained to everyone again, "Now is the working time. The small boiler in our first experiment took about ten minutes to complete the refining. This time the boiler is larger, so it needs to be The time is relatively long, you can take advantage of this time to get the management manual, which includes what I just mentioned."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he walked aside.

Only then did everyone pick up the management manual and look at it.

"Director Yang, this manual of yours is pretty good. I heard that there are other aspects?"

Mr. Wang from the Seventh Machinery Department approached Yang Youning and asked.

"Yes, sir, we now have a set of suitable management procedures for the entire machinery factory and its branches."

"This time we were at a steel plant, so I only took out these."

After Yang Youning explained, Mr. Qin next door smiled and said, "I think this is a good job. Other factories should also form such a management system, so that accidents can be better avoided."

Yang Youning couldn't help but feel happy after receiving the chief's approval. He immediately told the story about organizing workers in the machinery factory to learn safety knowledge. Several chiefs who listened nodded frequently.

He kept praising the machinery factory for not only thinking things through but also implementing them. The leadership team is very good.

Wang Huzi, who was in the middle position, glanced at Yang Youning and silently took note of it.

As expected, all the machines in this machinery factory have two brushes.

This method of popularizing safety knowledge is worth learning.

Mr. Xia and others in the back row were sitting together, also discussing the management regulations recorded in the notebook.

Mr. Sun, in particular, became more attentive to safety management after the incident at the Shishan Iron and Steel Plant and took a particularly careful look at it.

"Lao Xia, give me a copy of the management documents of other factories in the machinery factory when the time comes!"

Hearing this, Mr. Xia looked at Mr. Sun very much, lost his usual caress, and nodded happily.

"I'll ask Director Liu to give you a copy later. I have it ready-made!"

After the words fell, Mr. Li and the others around him came over to ask, and Mr. Xia naturally agreed.

While everyone was discussing, Yang Xiaotao came to An Zhongsheng to see the situation: "Mr. Yang!"

Because he was close to the converter, An Zhongsheng's forehead was already covered with sweat.

"all the best?"

An Zhongsheng nodded, "Now it seems there is no problem!"

"Is the liquid oxygen reserve enough?"

"Enough! There are four large cans on site, and there are two spare ones that can be brought up for use at any time."

"That's good, pay attention to safety, especially the safety of workers. If our experiment fails, there will be a next time. Who will do it next time if we lose people?"

An Zhongsheng nodded solemnly after hearing this.

If it were before, he would definitely retort.

Because before coming here, he always felt that machines were very important and valuable. Each one was the property of the country and needed to be protected with his life.

But here, the most common thing he heard from people around him was: If the machine breaks down, Yang will always fix it.

When the machine is gone, the machine factory will produce a new one.

Everything is people-oriented.

That air compressor was the only one in China before. How expensive it was.

But now, in Guan Zhiyong’s words, when they are worn out, there are new ones.

Therefore, they have more liquid oxygen, which can meet the transformation of all boilers in the factory and support the terrifying consumption.

After leaving the scene, Yang Xiaotao returned to the podium and rested for a while.

Twenty minutes later, Yang Xiaotao saw An Zhongsheng coming to the converter to check the situation and immediately cheered up.

After a moment, he saw An Zhongsheng with a smile on his face, and then he ran towards him. Yang Xiaotao looked at his watch, and it was exactly thirty-five minutes since the oxygen entered the converter, cut off the head and tail.

"Mr. Yang, it's done. It's finished and ready to be baked."

An Zhongsheng ran over in a hurry. Several people around Yang Xiaotao were equally excited after hearing this.

"good!"

Yang Xiaotao responded without confirming or asking any other irrelevant questions.

He jumped onto the rostrum in two or three steps.

He slapped the microphone, and the banging sound echoed throughout the venue.

Everyone who was communicating looked at the source of the sound and cast their eyes on Yang Xiaotao.

More cleverly, he looked at the busy experimental site, realized something, and kept looking down at his watch.

"Dear comrades workers, chiefs, and leaders, please note that the converter has completed its work, and the exciting moment of release is about to begin!"

Everyone heard the sound and looked towards the scene.

Mr. Chen and others subconsciously looked at their watches, then stood up one by one and picked up the telescope.

The workers who came to study and visit also stood up and paid close attention.

With everyone watching, Yang Xiaotao glanced at An Zhongsheng, who nodded in agreement.

Then he took a deep breath and said, "Attention all departments, turn on the furnace!"

Following Yang Xiaotao's order, the workers quickly stepped forward and operated the mechanical power. First, they moved the furnace top away and put away the oxygen gun.

Through the furnace mouth, everyone could see the rising flames and the space that was vaguely distorted by the high temperature.

The next second, molten steel was poured out.

The molten steel in the converter flows into the steel drum along the track set aside in advance.

The white hot fluid pours down like dazzling light.

Workers from steel plants across the country are very familiar with this.

Just by looking at the color and the flowing state, it is clear that this is a furnace of fine molten steel.

Snap, snap, snap.

Someone took the lead, and then everyone clapped.

Huang Lao Xia Lao and several people from the First Machinery Department were even more excited.

This time, it worked.

The first machine department's face turned back.
