"Well, when will the train arrive at Nanyuan?"
Luanda asked softly.
It's just getting bright now, and many passengers in the carriage are sitting on their seats and taking a nap.
"It's still early."
The conductor said and walked into the cabin again.
"This car is so slow!"
For the first time, Ruanda felt that the train was too slow. He walked to his seat and looked at his watch anxiously.
At this time, it was exactly 4:30 in the morning, and the sky was dimming slightly outside the car window. The train was speeding through the gray light, passing through the shadows of trees and fields, and the still sky was retreating rapidly.
"I should be able to make it back today."
Thinking in his mind, he leaned his head on the back of the chair and looked out the window. The morning light shone on him. In the next time, the conductor came back and forth twice. When he came over the second time, he looked
Luanda glanced at him and walked over without saying anything.
"Why is the train so slow today?"
Ruanda turned around and stared at the scenery outside the car window as before.
In fact, trains are not slow. A train traveling at a speed of 30 kilometers per hour is considered normal all over the world. However, for people who have something on their mind, the train seems to be much slower.
An hour later, the train pulled into Nanyuan Railway Station. As soon as the train entered the station, Luanda took her handbag and rushed out quickly, as if there was something urgent.
As soon as the man left the train station, he stopped a rickshaw.
"Go to Steel Three Village."
The Three Iron and Steel Villages are located near Nanyuan Iron and Steel Company. Most of the people living there are company employees, and Ruanda's friends who studied in the UK lived there.
"Master, please hurry up and I'll pay double the price."
Luanda pressed on very hard along the way. Almost twenty minutes later, Luanda arrived at the place. After throwing down a one-dollar silver dollar certificate, he rushed directly to the door, knocking on the door and shouting.
"Li Lin, Li Lin..."
Li Lin, who was awakened from his dream, yawned and asked.
"Who, who... Huh? An Xue, why is it you..."
Ignoring Li Lin's surprise, Luanda asked directly.
"Li Lin, what you said last time!"
"whats the matter?"
"It's the steel plate you mentioned. Can you make it?"
"What?"
Li Lin, who had not yet fully woken up, said in surprise.
"It's the new type of steel you were talking about. Didn't you say before that the current steel plates used by the navy have the disadvantage of being too brittle and having low toughness?"
"Well, hasn't the Navy already used steel-wrought iron to weld armor and use wrought iron to improve the overall strength?"
Li Lin adjusted his glasses and yawned.
What he calls "steel-wrought iron welded armor" is a kind of naval steel unique to Nanhua. It is outer steel and inner iron and mixed armor. It is a kind of double-layer composite armor. It was made when steel plates and iron plates were just produced.
, using its high temperature to roll it into one piece.
"I remember that the second design office that invented this armor also won the Navigation Award. Gu said that they were inspired by the traditional steel-clad kitchen knives. If the kitchen knives were made entirely of steel, the steel would be too brittle and the kitchen knives would not even be able to cut garlic.
It will break when you hit it. You can use a steel kitchen knife with outer iron and inner steel. The hardness and toughness have reached a stable level. Only with this kind of knife can you break the garlic. They did the opposite and wrapped the steel outside the wrought iron, so that the armor is on the outside.
Hard and tough on the inside, it can more effectively prevent bombardment. Not to mention that there are many things that can be learned from traditional metallurgical techniques. I recently..."
Before Li Lin could finish speaking, a slightly anxious Luanda said.
"I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about another thing you said a few months ago. What kind of steel are you talking about? Yes, alloy steel. You said that composite steel armor is very ordinary. We should learn from high-speed steel.
Method, research an alloy steel with high hardness and strong toughness, this is what I’m talking about!”
Staring at his friend, Luanda asked.
"Did your research succeed? If so, I have a very good idea!"
When studying in the UK, Li Lin studied metallurgy. After returning to China, he worked as an engineer in a steel company. While he was surprised by the advanced technology of Nanhua Steel, he also conducted some research in private, such as alloy steel. Everyone thought that
Alloy steel can only be used as tool steel - that is, the high-speed steel developed by Zhu Xianhai.
Different from those people, Li Lin was inspired by the improvement of performance of high-speed steel by adding various non-ferrous metals. He has been engaged in research in this area since then.
"I am just doing research, and the specific products have not been manufactured yet, but I believe that by adding non-ferrous metals, the performance of the steel can be improved and it can meet the needs of the military."
"Then let's do it!"
Ruanda looked at his friend and said.
"Now I have an opportunity and need to use your steel plate as a stepping stone."
…
That afternoon, before getting off work, Ruanda came to the South China Coast Guard Headquarters. He stood in front of the Coast Guard Commander's office and asked.
"Excuse me, I want to see Chief Li"
"Chief Li is very busy..."
The officer outside the office said without raising his head.
"He definitely doesn't have time to see you!"
"Then he has to get off work. I will wait for him here."
Ruanda said.
"Hey, Mr. Lu, even though you are an engineer at the shipyard, you can't do this!"
The officer frowned and said.
"What? I have something to do with Chief Li. If he is busy, I will wait for him here!"
Luanda sat directly on the soft chair by the corridor, holding his briefcase and said.
"You can do whatever you want."
the officer muttered.
This wait lasted for almost an hour, until night fell and the lights in the corridor were turned on, the commander's office was opened. Li Xuelin, who was smiling, said to the chief of staff.
"This time we can..."
Before he finished speaking, Luanda from the corridor rushed over and said.
"Hello, Chief Li, I am Luanda, an engineer from the shipyard. I have something important to report to you,"
"Shipyard engineer?"
Li Xuelin looked at this young man in surprise,
"Mr. Lu, I still have something to do there, so I may not have time. We can make an appointment again!"
"I am an engineer at the shipyard, and my job is also very important."
Ruanda said directly,
"Is it also very important?"
Looking at the engineer in front of him, Li Xuelin looked at his watch again, and then said,
"Well, you have five minutes."
Only five minutes was definitely not enough. Looking at Chief Li, Luanda hesitated. Only five minutes was not enough for him to explain. It was not enough for him to show his ideas and designs.
But what can be done now?
After pondering for a moment, Ruanda suddenly made up his mind.
"Okay, I only need a minute!"
As Ruanda said this, he took out two book-sized steel plates from his bag and placed them directly on the chair where he was sitting.
"Chief Li, look at these two steel plates. What's the difference between them?"
Steel plate?
Isn’t it just an ordinary steel plate?
Is there any difference between them?
They don't look any different at all. They are just very ordinary thin steel plates.
When Li Xuelin and others focused their attention on the steel plate, Luanda directly pulled out the pistol from the bag.
"careful……"
Almost as soon as he drew his pistol, the officer next to Li Anlin pushed him back. Another officer went directly towards Ruanda.
The next moment, gunfire rang out, and two gunshots echoed in the corridor. As the gunshots echoed in the corridor, a group of officers rushed out of the offices on both sides of the corridor. Some of them were holding daggers, and some were holding daggers.
Holding a pistol.
"There's an assassin!"
The officer who had just thrown Ruanda to the ground shouted loudly.
"I'm not an assassin, look at the steel plate, look at the steel plate!"
Ruanda, who was pushed to the ground, heard and shouted loudly
"Look at the steel plates, look at those two steel plates!"
As he shouted, Li Xuelin and others turned their attention to two steel plates. One of the steel plates was penetrated, but the other was intact.
Staring at the intact steel plate, Li Xuelin's brows furrowed.
"Let him go!"
