Scholars in the courtyard

Xu Ning looked surprised, then mechanically took the piece of paper and looked at the numbers on it involuntarily.

Zang Wei and several others gathered around him and watched together.

The old Taoist couldn't help his curiosity and stepped forward.

For a moment, several heads gathered together, looking at the names and numbers above, all curious.

"Don't even look at it. Try it quickly. I have to go back soon."

Yang Xiaotao was urging from the side, actually because he was afraid that a few people would ask him questions.

How these data came from, he couldn't explain.

You can't say that you dreamed it up.

The few people listened and made no move. Instead, Chen Yongsen asked curiously, "Mr. Yang, this data of yours is somewhat similar to what I submitted to you."

Hearing Chen Yongsen's inquiry, Yang Xiaotao sighed in his heart. If he wanted to cover up a lie, he would need more lies.

And it’s a lie that can’t be seen through.

There was no way, Yang Xiaotao didn't want to explain at first, but when someone asked, he had to answer.

Fortunately, after activating Steelmaking Mastery last night, he gained relevant knowledge and allowed Yang Xiaotao to come up with an explanation that was not an explanation.

"Yes, this recipe is based on the copper alloy ingredient list I provided you with some modifications."

Yang Xiaotao's affirmation made Chen Yongsen feel better. What he had made unintentionally was still useful.

Several people looked at Chen Yongsen with unspeakable envy.

"In other words, this time it is made of high-temperature-resistant copper alloy."

"As for how to make it, I don't know exactly. It involves knowledge of steelmaking, metal atomic structure and some mathematical knowledge."

"Let me tell you briefly."

"You know that copper is ranked 29 in the periodic table of chemical elements, and tungsten is ranked 74, which means that they have corresponding electrons surrounding the periphery. According to the arrangement of the extranuclear electronic structures of the atoms on both sides, copper has four, while tungsten has six. The reason why the outermost layer easily loses electrons is that copper can lose one, while tungsten needs to gain two or six copper electrons to be stable in order to reach a half-full or full state, in order to maintain the lowest energy and the most Stablize."

"Calculated in this way, the ratio of both parties is around 17%-50%."

Yang Xiaotao explained what he thought to several people. In order to enhance his persuasion, he also drew the electronic configuration of the two metals in his notebook.

"According to this ratio, and then calculating the content of other metals and considering the weight of a piece of alloy, we can figure out the general formula."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, people around him gasped.

As an old man from a steel factory, Guan Zhiyong naturally understands the importance of a formula.

After working in a steel factory for so long, I have seen the research on formulas in the factory. I even did research on steelmaking with the help of the alliance back then.

But these studies have never been as thorough as Yang Xiaotao said.

In the past, they studied formulas just like Xu Ning and the others do now, which is to constantly experiment and adjust. Although it is time-consuming and labor-intensive, they can always test it out.

But what Yang Xiaotao was talking about now about atoms, electrons, and energy made him confused.

For the first time, he felt that as a factory director, he was a little behind the times.

Not only did Guan Zhiyong feel this way, but even the veteran Taoist, who had always had a stable mentality, was also shocked after listening to it.

However, seeing Yang Xiaotao's appearance, I still had some doubts in my heart.

Wang Lili covered her mouth with both hands and looked at Yang Xiaotao with the girl's admiration in her eyes.

Several others were also shocked, and Zhao Chuan even murmured to himself, "In this steelmaking, you still need to learn chemistry and mathematics?"

"Oh my god! This is too difficult."

For a moment, the thoughts of several people were expressed, and then they were all helpless.

Ahem

Yang Xiaotao coughed lightly. He didn't want his excuse to offend a few people, although Yang Xiaotao felt that it did make some sense.

"Stop talking about it now and try it quickly."

With Yang Xiaotao's urging, the group of people once again inspired themselves, started looking for materials, and then started calculating according to the ratio.

The old man walked up to Yang Xiaotao with curiosity on his face, "What you just said seems a bit familiar to me."

Yang Xiaotao was thirsty and picked up a large vat to drink water. When he heard the old Taoist question, he raised his head curiously, "What's familiar?"

The old Taoist stroked his beard and said, "It seems that when I went out with the master to tell people's fortunes, the master was like this. He talked a lot of incomprehensible words. Anyway, it made people feel very profound and powerful."

"Actually, that's it."

After the old man finished speaking, a light flashed in his eyes, and then he looked at Yang Xiaotao with a smile.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotao didn't agree with him at all, "You are just bluffing and cheating."

"I, this is real talent."

The veteran clenched his chin after hearing this, "Really talented? I guess where did you get the recipe from?"

"Besides, after all this time, I haven't seen you make steel. At most, you have read a few books."

"Don't tell me you'll know it after reading a few books."

"Hey, old man, are you good at calculation?" Yang Xiaotao suddenly laughed, "You are really right. I just read it from the book, and then put it together in my brain, tsk tsk, and figured it out."

"I hear your nonsense."

The old Taoist said disdainfully, and then asked seriously, "Isn't it true that someone else gave it to you?"

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the busy people not far away, "Do you think it is necessary for me to lie to you?"

"Besides, if there were people in the country who knew how to do this kind of thing, it would have spread long ago. How can they wait for me?"

Seeing Yang Xiaotao's serious look, the old man was still dubious.

While the two were talking, Guan Zhiyong had already led people to find the required materials and began to adjust them according to the proportions in the formula.

The workers took a break and then got back to work.

Under Yang Xiaotao's gaze, materials were put into the molten steel one after another. Then, under the pouring of liquid oxygen, the temperature in the furnace became higher and higher, and the various materials melted and blended together.

Finally, Lao Dao personally sprinkled the extracted tungsten powder into the converter, and the experiment officially began.

Fortunately, the efficiency of the converter is extremely high, and it didn't take much time to experiment again, and it was time to come out of the furnace.

Amid everyone's expectations, the furnace water slowly flowed into the model prepared in advance.

Then we started hammering according to the previous process.

Originally, Yang Xiaotao only wanted to test the heat resistance of the alloy, but because tungsten powder was added, he also wanted to see how hard it was.

So, under the command of Guan Zhiyong, everyone started testing one by one according to the testing process.

Before lunch, Guan Zhiyong held the latest report sheet, his hands trembling and his eyes full of excitement.

This alloy is produced by their steel factory.

In the future, their steel plant will not only be able to produce steel, but also alloys.

This kind of alloy that is resistant to high temperatures and has extremely high hardness is simply even more powerful than a tiger.

"Mr. Yang, the formula you gave me is successful."

Guan Zhiyong said, Xu Ning and others who came behind him also looked shocked.

The data above was tested by them personally.

Who would have thought that Mr. Yang just adjusted a few numbers and finished what they were so busy doing. Although it was not tungsten steel, the fact that he could get copper alloys so quickly was enough to show that Mr. Yang was making steel here. Talent in all aspects.

Several people even had the illusion that if Mr. Yang joins their research team, they will definitely be able to produce tungsten steel soon. ’

But this thought passed away in a flash. After all, as the leader of the machinery factory, how could Yang Xiaotao have time to spend all his time here burning the stove?

Some people are even thinking about whether to go to the library to find two mathematics and chemistry books.

After all, this is the representative of success.

Of course, there are also people who are happy and proud.

Just like Chen Yongsen.

Yang Xiaotao said that it was done based on the data he provided, which means that he has a share of credit for it.

"Let me see."

Yang Xiaotao immediately took the report sheet from Guan Zhiyong's hand and looked at it carefully.

"Hardness, higher than mild steel? Not bad."

"The temperature, can it tolerate more than two thousand degrees? Not bad."

After taking a look at the important data, Yang Xiaotao was very satisfied.

Compared with Yang Xiaotao's calmness, the old Taoist on the side couldn't sit still.

He came over to look at it, then came back to his senses and murmured to himself, "This regret comes so fast."

Several people around him didn't take it seriously, thinking they were just talking nonsense.

But Yang Xiaotao knew in his heart that the old man was talking about the Seventh Machinery Department.

"Director Guan, just follow this formula and make as many alloys as you have for me with tungsten powder."

Nowadays, machinery factories need hard alloys to produce machine tools, and this copper alloy naturally meets the requirements.

To produce engines and cylinder pistons, high-temperature-resistant alloys are needed, and this is still suitable.

So, be prepared and be prepared.

Besides, the output of tungsten metal is only so small. Even if it is all produced, it will not be much.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will arrange for the delivery right away."

Guan Zhiyong hurriedly ran away and packed the formula close to his body.

This thing is a secret and must be kept well.

As for Xu Ning and others, they received confidentiality training before they were exposed to experiments in this area.

As long as Yang Xiaotao doesn't publicize it, this formula will be the treasure of their Red Star Steel Factory.

"Old Taoist, please help me keep an eye on it. I'm going back to the machine factory first."

I looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to eat. I was just in time to go back and catch up.

As for the steel factory, I believe it will be very busy soon.

The old Taoist had not yet recovered from the shock. He just nodded silently after hearing Yang Xiaotao's words.

There is an illusion in my heart that they are exhausted from the hard work here, and it is as fast as others reading a few books.

It simply subverts the perception.

When Yang Xiaotao drove back to the machinery factory, before he went to the canteen, he was grabbed by Liu Huaimin who ran out and pulled aside with a serious look on his face.

"Is what the director of the steel plant said true?"

After saying this, Liu Huaimin came up a little excited.

A few days ago, Yang Xiaotao reached an agreement with Mr. Wang from the Seventh Machinery Department in front of them, and they suspected that Yang Xiaotao had a backhand.

But he didn't expect that this backhand would come so quickly, and he would be so shocked.

Copper alloy, no, it should be tungsten copper alloy.

This is tungsten copper alloy, the metal material used to make core components of Venus machine tools.

These things are all imported from abroad. I have never heard of any domestic factory that can make such alloys.

And now, their steel plant affiliated with the Red Star Machinery Factory has built it.

The first one, definitely the first factory.

After learning the whole story from Guan Zhiyong, Liu Huaimin lamented Yang Xiaotao's ability and felt proud and happy at the same time.

With so many good materials, how many machine tools, machines, and contributions can they make.

For a moment, Liu Huaimin looked very sincere when he looked at Yang Xiaotao.
