Lin Fan proportioned and mixed the TNT explosive waste transported with the nitrate transported back by Chen Tao, and made a gunpowder similar to earth explosive, but with much higher power and performance.
It's perfectly fine to use it for blasting.
After the blasting powder is prepared, the detonator is installed.
The target of this renovation is the three old converters in the factory.
They were deactivated after the last batch of steel was smelted a few days ago, and this is what they have been waiting for.
After arranging workers to install the detonators, the blasting operation began.
Everyone retreated to a safe distance, and Lin Fan held the detonator of the detonator in his hand.
In addition to some construction workers, there were more employees of the steel rolling mill who came to watch the excitement.
After all, this was the first time they had carried out such a large-scale renovation and expansion since they took up the job, so they were naturally very curious.
In addition, some acquaintances in the compound were also waiting to watch the explosion.
The first and second uncles were originally workers in the steel rolling mill. Now that the factory is temporarily suspended, they naturally came to see the excitement.
As for the third uncle, he is still teaching in elementary school. It is not the weekend or school time, so naturally he will not appear here.
The two stood in the back chatting.
The uncle said: "I heard that the transformation of the steel rolling mill was thanks to Lin Fan. I never thought that Xiaofan would become so powerful one day."
The second uncle: "That's the same reason. I heard that this modified converter can produce 30% more steel a year than the original old converter... This is amazing."
Liu Haizhong was also jealous of Lin Fan. As for the previous conflicts?
This kind of trivial matter is nothing compared to the matter of being an official?
You can pretend it didn't happen.
Ever since he learned that Lin Fan was the leader of this reform, Liu Haizhong immediately wanted to join this team through Lin Fan.
I am still the second uncle in the courtyard. If I join, I, as the second uncle, will treat a lot of the previous frictions as if they never happened.
That's why he can talk to the elder here this time.
I also hope that the First Master can tell Lin Fan what he is optimistic about Lin Fan, so that Lin Fan can see his efforts.
Being promoted is not shabby.
The first uncle said: "Look, your two sons were not allowed to go to school at that time. Now they are like us and can only work in the workshop. They are not as good as Yushun."
The second uncle rolled his eyes: "You think I don't want them to go to school? They are both stupid and inferior to me. They can't get 100 points in several subjects together, and they can't even pass the high school entrance exam!"
When the second uncle said this, he also mentioned the third uncle's family: "Look at Lao Yan, he is a teacher himself. Which of their children has been admitted to college? Let me tell you, the one who doesn't have that fate is still the old man.
It’s best to just go to high school and then go out to work.”
The old man: "By the way, speaking of Lao Yan, you said he is true. He has been asking for money all his life, and now he is not short of money, right? When his sister Yu Li came to stay at their house, he actually charged her accommodation fees.
, don’t you think this is outrageous? It’s because Zhuzhu is kind-hearted that he gave Yu Yu’s room to her.”
While the two were talking, the juniors also came closer.
Liu Guangzhong and Liu Guangfu came over.
"Dad, what are you and Mr. Yi talking about?"
Liu Guangzhong leaned over casually, looking curious.
The second uncle Liu Haizhong glanced sideways at his two useless sons, and then thought about Lin Fan. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he directly raised his foot and kicked him on the butt.
"None of your business, please don't interrupt me while I'm chatting with you."
After the kick, he was still not relieved, so he kicked Liu Guangfu on the butt again.
Liu Guangfu covered his buttocks with a resentful look on his face, as if he was resisting this unexpected disaster.
"You two...hey, look at Lin Fan, and look at you two, you have no future at all, you only know how to hang around, it's embarrassing!"
The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, held out his big belly and cursed at his two sons.
People who don't know better think that a superior is reprimanding a subordinate.
The uncle was standing nearby. He saw that Old Liu was getting more and more energetic as he scolded him, so he quickly stopped him and said, "Stop scolding, Old Liu, the blasting is about to start!"
Everyone then turned around and focused on the blasting of the converter below.
...
dld made a rare trip to the steel rolling mill today in order to watch the first step of the transformation plan - converter blasting.
Not only did dld come, he also brought the leader’s wife.
at this time.
On the left side of dld, the person accompanying him is Factory Director Yang.
On the right is the leader's wife, followed by Lin Fan.
Director Yang originally wanted to place Dld farther away, and even wanted him to wear a helmet.
But dld himself is not happy.
"I just want to go deep into the masses of the people. You see, those workers involved in the front line, and Comrade Lin Fan, don't have these measures. Why do I have to be special?"
What dld said made Director Yang give up, but he still arranged the dld family in a relatively safe position.
Standing next to Lin Fan was Chen Tao.
This young man is currently one of Lin Fan's most capable subordinates.
He was already determined to train Chen Tao to be his right-hand man, so he often took him with him when he was in the factory.
Next, in the back circle are the workers of the steel rolling mill who are watching the excitement. The first and second uncles and He Yuzhu are all in this group.
finally.
The scheduled time has arrived.
Lin Fan picked up the detonator in his hand. After making sure that all workers were out of the danger zone, he handed the detonator to dld.
"Dld, I leave this matter of getting rid of the old and welcoming the new to you."
Lin Fan smiled.
This is not flattery, but to express gratitude.
This steel rolling mill renovation plan would have been impossible to carry out without the full help of dld.
Therefore, the action of pressing the detonator was handed over to dld. Lin Fan thought it was appropriate, Factory Director Yang thought it was appropriate, and all the workers present felt it was appropriate.
dld did not hesitate and took the detonator from Lin Fan.
Director Yang on the side handed over the microphone at the right time.
"Comrades! Under the leadership of Director Yang and the guidance of Comrade Lin, the blasting renovation of the old converter in the steel rolling mill will begin now!"
dld's voice reached the ears of every worker present, making them excited.
After a few seconds.
Dld raised his hand, pressed the detonation button, and then started counting down with everyone.
"5!"
"4!"
"3!"
"3!"
"2!"
"1!"
dld's voice fell.
A loud explosion sounded, and the old-fashioned converter below began to collapse under the force of the blasting gunpowder...
The smoke and dust are filling the air, which means that the old steel rolling mill is about to be reborn in the wasteland here.
...
"1!"
"Boom!"
A loud sound came, and Lin Fan looked down attentively, apparently very concerned about the success of the blast.
The blasting ceremony was a perfect success.
The preparation work has come to an end, and the next step is the construction of the new top-blown converter.
Because dld still needed to go back to handle official duties, he took the leader's wife first.
...
In Lin Fan's office.
After the blasting was completed, he began to plan for the next step.
He had already drawn the construction drawings of the top-blown converter.
Starting almost tomorrow, we can start building it.
Of course, the premise is that you need an experienced construction team.
It is definitely impossible to build it just by relying on factory workers without experience.
As for how to borrow the construction team, it is not difficult.
There are several construction companies near Sijiucheng, just find one that meets the technical requirements.
After taking care of things, today's affairs are almost completed.
Now, over the factory building, where the blasting has been completed, there is a lot of debris and debris.
Those things must be disposed of before the construction team can proceed with the next step of construction.
Of course, it is still possible to contact him in advance, but it is not Lin Fan's turn to do this himself.
Although he is the chief designer of this renovation plan, he cannot do everything by himself.
For example, the matter of contacting the construction team can be left to Chen Tao.
As for now - it's time to go home and have a delicious meal cooked by my wife.
After returning home, the residents in the compound saw Lin Fan and greeted him enthusiastically.
Now Lin Fan is no longer a fifth-level fitter, but the factory director's treasure, a technician in the factory who presided over this reform.
They all knew that Lin Fan must have become prosperous this time, and no one in the entire compound would be able to compare to Lin Fan in the future.
Some people have regretted why they did not have a good relationship with Lin Fan before, and now they want to restore it. If they can please Lin Fan, can they also follow Lin Fan to participate in this reform?
For such a big thing, if they could follow along and take some credit, wouldn't it be possible for them to get promoted and make a fortune?
Lin Fan just greeted everyone with a smile. How could he not understand what these people were thinking.
He just wanted to join their team through himself, but Lin Fan would not agree.
My predecessor had lived with these people for so long, but I had never seen these people be so enthusiastic, nor had they helped Lin Fan much.
Lin Fan knew their abilities very well in the factory.
Join Lin Fan?
That's impossible.
When Lin Fan got home, he saw his wife making the last dish.
Lin Fan has been busy with the converter recently, and has not put away the things at home for a few days.
Looking at his wife, Lin Fan showed a sincere smile, put away the things, and prepared the last dish with Lin Xiaomu.
After eating happily, they chatted about today's work. After dark, the yard became quiet, and the two began the activity of making humans again.
the next day!
Lin Fan went to the steel rolling mill.
When he arrived, Chen Tao was already waiting in the department.
When he was in the workshop before, Chen Tao also came to the factory very early, and then counted the time to make tea for himself.
When Lin Fan sat down, he saw a cup of hot tea on the corner of the table.
Don't tell me, I'm really thirsty.
After taking a sip, I felt energetic all day long.
At this time, Chen Tao took the initiative to come over.
"Master, I have contacted the people from the construction team. They said that all they need to do is give them the drawings and they will build it accordingly."
Chen Tao said, and then added: "This construction team is famous in Sijiu City. Its quality, speed, and technology are all top-notch."
Hearing this, Lin Fan showed a satisfied smile.
He was quite relieved about everything Chen Tao was doing.
This young man may not be as good as others, but he is serious about his work.
"Okay, I'll give you the completed technical drawings later, and you can hand them over to the construction team."
"good."
Chen Tao responded and returned to his seat.
Lin Fan also felt a little more relaxed.
The next thing was the construction team's business. He could only watch from the sidelines. As for taking action, that was not something he was good at.
No matter what, he is not the reincarnation of Leonardo da Vinci and cannot be an all-around genius.
...
The construction team arrived at nine o'clock in the morning.
At this time, Chen Tao had already taken the construction drawings from Lin Fan and handed them to the construction team.
The construction team contractor looked at it and frowned.
"What is this... I've never seen it before."
The contractor is from the construction industry, so naturally he doesn't understand the technical principles on this drawing.
But it doesn’t matter whether the cat is black or white, the one that can catch mice is a good cat.
As long as the people in the construction team can build things for Lin Fan according to the above drawings, then he is confident that he can put these top-blown converters to use.
Of course.
The shell built by this construction team is only part of the converter, and there are far more things used in it.
Lin Fan still needs to purchase the motors, shafts and other things in person.
These things are important to the converter.
Fortunately, everything is available in Sijiu City. As long as there are relevant bills and instructions, you can purchase it.
And big leaders can definitely handle these things.
After getting the drawings.
After discussing the price, the construction team started work directly.
...
Magic City!
Baosteel Steelmaking Plant.
Factory director's office.
Factory director Wu Baolai received a call from Sijiu City.
It is said that the biggest rival of their factory, Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, is undergoing some technical reforms recently. It is said that it is to innovate the style of the converter. It has been vigorously carried out recently and there is a trend of changing its appearance.
Wu Baolai was fine with this.
Baosteel and Red Star have always been models for steel mills across the country, and the two mills often compete with each other.
Over the years, Baosteel has almost always been on the side of Red Star and has often received praise from its superiors.
This situation has been in place for some time and has never changed.
As the factory director of Baosteel, Wu Baolai has always been very proud of this, and he also has a lot of face when he is at the local level.
As a result, if Red Star's technological reform is really successful, wouldn't it change the current situation?
Moreover, in addition to this, there is another not-so-good news, that is, Yang Jianguo, the director of Red Star, seems to have been to the southwest before and negotiated a big deal.
It was a large iron mine that had just been discovered in the southwest. I heard that the quality was very good, and many big manufacturers were jealous of it, but in the end it was taken over by Yang Jianguo.
This is not good news for Baosteel.
Because it is located in a magical city and close to the port, Baosteel generally uses imported ores, which are convenient and of good quality.
Therefore, it is more advantageous in the competition between the two major steel mills.
As a result, Hongxing Steel Plant has not only solved the problem of mineral resources, but has also carried out technical reforms.
no.
This won't work.
After hanging up the phone, Wu Baolai stood up and paced around the office, feeling very anxious.
This matter involves more than just the name of the No. 1 steel mill.
There are many other longer-term things involved here.
You have to think of a way, you can't just sit back and wait for death.
Someone was mentioned on this call, a fitter from the Red Star Steel Plant named Lin Fan... I heard that he was responsible for this technical improvement.
Wu Baolai decided to start with this person.
He called his subordinates and asked them to check Lin Fan's relevant information.
For example, which school he graduated from, whether his friends know him well... In short, he needs to know this person first, and then see if he can recruit him.
If not, then some other special measures can only be taken.
For example...obtaining technical drawings by some means.
Although this method is shady, as long as no one knows about it, it is not a problem.
There is no way, this is the cruelty of political struggle, and I am not a stumbling block for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.
That drawing was also modified by our factory based on our ability. You Red Star can modify it, but we Baosteel can't modify it?
Wu Baolai thought to himself that this matter was very important and he must send someone to Sijiu City to check the situation quickly.
I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do this... I can only leave this matter to Gu Xiao.
Wu Guxiao, Wu Baolai's daughter, currently works as the secretary to the factory director in a steel factory.
As a woman, many of her practices and strategies are more masculine than those of men.
After thinking about this matter, Wu Baolai asked someone to call his daughter.
After a while.
Wu Guxiao opened the door and walked in.
She has a slender figure and a slightly cold face with an oval face, but her appearance is excellent and she can be regarded as a complete beauty.
"Director, what do you want from me?"
When she was in the factory, she never called Wu Baolai daddy, only the factory director.
Wu Baolai had no objection to this, and even appreciated it very much.
Seeing his daughter come in, Wu Baolai winked.
Wu Guxiao understood, turned around and locked the office door.
"Gu Xiao, I want to send you to Sijiu City. You know the Red Star Steel Plant, right? Our biggest competitor, I want you to go and see how the technological reforms they are currently doing are going."
"If possible, I want you to have more contact with a young man named Lin Fan in the Red Star Steel Factory. He is the designer of this Red Star reform. If possible, recruit him at any cost."
When Wu Baolai said this, his eyes were firm.
Any price in his words naturally includes Wu Guxiao himself.
In other words, if you can use your body to recruit talents like Lin Fan, then you should do it at all costs.
Even if Wu Guxiao is his daughter, that is no exception.
Look at Wu Guxiao again.
She didn't have any emotional fluctuations in response to her father's words.
Even without her father saying the last words, she would use all means, including herself.
Like father, like daughter.
She inherited her father Wu Baolaijie's character of wanting to achieve her goals at all costs.
"I understand, I'll leave immediately."
After saying that, Wu Guxiao turned around and left without any hesitation.
This kind of woman is a huge mountain to all men.
But Wu Baolai was proud of having such a daughter.
When he takes office, maybe the next factory director will be her daughter.
Thinking like this, he finally showed a father's smile.
