Each hammer fell heavily with a force of eighty yuan. The heavy hammer collided fiercely with the fiery red ingot, sparks were struck, and the low and penetrating sound echoed in the factory, condensed and entangled deep in everyone's soul.
, can't be dispersed for a long time.
Everyone at the scene showed excitement and excitement, and their eyes looking at the round steel ingot showed a kind of obsession.
This is the most primitive beauty, the purest beauty, the beauty that belongs exclusively to steel.
The blazing heat cannot stop the enthusiasm of the workers and soldiers. If possible, they hope to get their hands on it. Some people have even imagined using pork belly from wild boars to feel the taste of the high-temperature roasting and the blend of protein and water.
Just thinking about such a picture makes me feel beautiful.
Ten minutes later, with the final hammer blow, a series of final test results were converted into written form and sent to the main control room. Not long after, chief engineer Yu Hua and engineering team leader Yang Zhi appeared and walked out of the main control room.
Come to the middle of the factory building.
At this time, Yu Hua was holding a paper report in his hand. Seeing this, more than a hundred workers and soldiers immediately gathered around and stared closely at the paper report. It was not difficult to guess that the contents of this report would really
meaning determines the final result of this experiment.
The scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone held their breath and looked solemn, knowing the importance of this moment. No matter how happy or excited everyone was before, it was all subjective will.
Science requires objectivity and compliance with final test results.
"Now, I am announcing to you the results of the first smelting test of the oxygen top-blown converter test furnace. The test product was confirmed by physical testing methods to be iron-carbon alloy, that is, steel. It is a medium-carbon steel with an estimated carbon content of about 0.55%. The blowing time is 16
minutes, the oxygen consumption was 48 cubic meters, the total smelting time was 33 minutes, and the weight of the finished product in a single smelting was 2 tons. The actual smelting time and finished product weight both met the test requirements."
The words were solemn and loud, spreading around like a tide. Yu Hua faced everyone and read out the main data and final results of the first smelting test: "The first smelting test passed! Everyone, I think we can celebrate briefly."
The smelting time and finished product reached the test requirements, and the first smelting test passed!
Now, we can finally celebrate and spend a short time celebrating the success of the first smelting test, because this is a historic moment.
boom!
As the final results of the test, which symbolized authority, were announced, after a brief period of silence, the factory immediately erupted into a sensation like an erupting volcano, and the atmosphere, which had been fluctuating for several times, was pushed to a climax.
This time, everyone no longer had any scruples in their hearts, and their emotions surged out like a dam bursting.
Success!
A truly authoritative success!
At this moment, some soldiers were so happy that they danced, some had tears in their eyes, and some workers and soldiers were so excited that they could not speak, hugging each other tightly to celebrate this moment. Then, the news that the first smelting test had passed was like a hurricane.
, spread from the factory building to the entire Sancha Bay, and the production teams and workers of each unit fell into a state of extreme excitement and joy.
It's not that they can't control their emotions, but that this moment is too important!
The significance of the success of the first smelting test is not only the success of the test furnace, but also the birth of the steel industry in the base area.
You must know that this is a modern steel industry in the true sense. Although it is extremely small in scale, its technical content is extremely high. Its advanced level and comprehensive performance deserve to be ranked first in the world. Even the largest and most advanced Hanyang Iron Works in China is
, are incomparable to it.
Hanyang Iron Works wears the title of the largest steel plant in the Republic of China, but it can only produce ordinary carbon steel. And due to backward smelting technology, the steel it produces is basically low carbon steel with poor overall performance and can only be used to produce mortars.
Guns and ammunition, such as various high-quality alloy steels based on improvements to medium-carbon steel frames, such as gun steel that emphasizes high strength and high hardness, and gun barrel steel that has strict anti-corrosion requirements, cannot be produced.
As for steel types like tool steel, don’t even think about it.
Hanyang Iron Works adopts the contemporary blast furnace + open-hearth steelmaking model, and the steel produced contains very high sulfur and phosphorus components.
The steel produced in the oxygen blowing furnace can not only be used to smelt medium carbon steel and high carbon steel, but also various special steel types based on the two frameworks, such as alloy steel, spring steel, armor steel, tool steel, etc., which can
Production.
This is the gold content of oxygen blowing furnace!
With this steel sword that is ahead of the world for an era, both the comprehensive strength of the base area and the war potential of the troops will be improved by orders of magnitude.
In terms of economic benefits alone, the steel output of the test furnace alone can generate millions of silver dollars in revenue in the first year, recovering all investment costs. In the future, with the continuous investment of funds, the economic benefits will increase in multiples. If there is no external interference
, it can reach a frightening level within five years.
From a military perspective, the benefits to military production are even more immeasurable. One furnace of molten steel weighs two tons and can produce more than 300 60-gun barrel blanks and more than a thousand medium-sized gun barrel blanks.
What is this concept?
Based on the maximum designed daily output of 96 tons per day, Sangxinkuang is fully invested in weapons production. It can produce more than 10,000 60 mortar tube blanks and more than 60,000 medium-sized formal gun tube blanks.
Of course, this is only the ideal state, and it is actually impossible to achieve such a high output, but even if it is reduced to one-tenth, it would be terrifying enough.
It can be said that the dilemma of limited weapons and ammunition production in the base area has been completely ended since Yu Hua officially announced the success of the first smelting test.
As long as there is no enemy damage, Yulin Iron and Steel Plant will continue to produce high-quality steel to supply the arsenal to produce various weapons and ammunition.
"Deputy Team Leader Yu, I, Yang Zhi, am dumb and can't speak. Thank you, thank you very much." Standing beside him, Yang Zhi's eyes were red and shining, already filled with tears. He wiped the wet corners of his eyes with his hand and turned away.
He stood up, faced Yu Hua, raised his hands and saluted: "All of you, salute and thank Comrade Chief Engineer of the Oxygen Blowing Furnace!"
The loud and powerful voice spread throughout the factory.
"Comrade Chief Engineer, thank you!" In a flash, the workers and soldiers standing around stood at attention, with their backs as straight as benchmarks, standing in the most standard military posture, and uniformly raised their right hands, fingers together, to salute Yu Hua.
The most standard and noble etiquette in the world.
Looking around, military salutes are everywhere, and respect is everywhere.
There is no doubt that without Yu Hua as the founder, there would be no current experimental furnace, let alone the future steel industry.
Although the soldiers did not have the authority to know Yu Hua's name and identity information, this in no way hindered their heartfelt respect.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Yu Hua was stunned for a moment, his heart was slightly touched, and his face showed a comfortable smile. He is not a vain person, but who doesn't have vanity?
"This is what I should do. Okay, the short celebration moment is over. Comrade Yang, please report the good news to the headquarters. The pouring production team will demould as soon as possible, the furnace front team will dig out the slag, and the first batch of round ingots will be processed according to the production process.
All production teams return to work and enter 24-hour trial production. Let us create a 24-hour steel production record in the industrial desert!" Yu Hua took a deep breath, faced everyone, and said slowly, arranging various matters in an orderly manner,
Then loudly announced that it had entered the 24-hour trial production phase.
The first smelting test was successful. The molten iron in the first torpedo tank car is still waiting for him. Strike while the iron is hot. The goal is to set a twenty-four-hour steel production record!
"Yes!" Yang Zhi responded loudly and left quickly.
At the same time, the dispatchers and personnel in various positions in the factory gathered their emotions and returned to their posts. With a strong energy in their hearts, they began to prepare for 24-hour trial production.
Instructions are being issued one after another. The blast furnace is working hard to produce high-quality low-phosphorus and low-sulfur molten iron. Ten-ton trucks are running back and forth to lift various raw materials. Ninety red round ingots are being demoulded and sent to the warehouse. The internal operations are busy and not chaotic.
Efficient and fast, the entire Yulin Iron and Steel Plant operates at almost the highest human efficiency.
In this era, everyone has faith, and everyone has hard work and dedication.
This is the best of times and the worst of times.
…
When the experimental furnace of Yulin Iron and Steel Plant entered the trial production stage, news of the successful first smelting test also flew to Yancheng via telegram.
Military Industry Bureau Headquarters.
