Of course, large-scale infrastructure construction has not only attracted the carnival of local businessmen like Udinel.
If there is one place in Lviv that has the most industrial atmosphere, it is the steel plant. The steel plant covers an area of several square kilometers and has tens of thousands of workers alone. Its annual steel production accounts for more than 70% of the national output.
Surrounding the steel plant are the top heavy machinery manufacturing plants in the country. In particular, Romania's No. 1 heavy machinery manufacturing plant is the most outstanding. It is also the only one in Romania that can produce tens of thousands of tons of free forging hydraulic presses and molds.
A company that produces hydraulic forging presses. It also produces hundreds of tons of large-scale technical equipment for metallurgy, mining, energy, transportation, automobiles, petrochemicals, etc.
It can be said that the Eastern Galicia region where Lviv is located has become an indispensable heavy industry base in Romania. The results of previous development of this region are being continuously fed back to enterprises across the country, allowing them to get rid of the situation of relying on imported equipment.
This time the country's large-scale infrastructure construction naturally requires the involvement of two companies. Bridges and tunnels require the use of a large amount of steel, and power generation units always require factories that can manufacture them. Of course, this is only a small part of it. But not
It means that it is not important, so in order to ensure the construction of the country, Industry Minister Baldovin personally visited Lviv this time, and these two factories were also one of the focus of the inspection.
Next to the blast furnace of the steel plant, Baldovin braved the hot temperature and watched with interest the workers working beside the steel-making furnace. At this time, it was the time for the steel-making furnace to be discharged. He saw the workers operating, and inside the huge steel-making furnace
The translucent molten steel was poured out. The molten steel scattered out, under the mold specifications that had been prepared, filled the stove with sparks. The conveyor belt carried the hot molten steel through the cold water, and white smoke filled the stove.
A scene but by no means a fairyland.
Looking at the orderly work scene of the workers, Baldovin nodded secretly, which made him couldn't help but admire. "It is indeed the most beautiful scene in industry."
The steel industry can be said to be the foundation of the current industry. Without steel, there would be no industry. Whether it is light industry or heavy industry, steel is needed as a basic support. This is why steel production needs to be mentioned every time when talking about the national strength of various countries in this era.
First, there are other industries only if there is the steel industry. If the blood of industry is oil, then the bone of industry is the steel industry.
Only Baldovin, who knew all this well, would give a compliment when watching the steel coming out of the furnace.
"All this is the support of the state and the efforts of the workers."
Although Baldovin only praised the grand scene of steelmaking, as the person in charge of the plant, Middles also spoke cautiously.
He had to be careless. Although Baldovin was not a prominent figure in the political arena, the Ministry of Industry he managed was the immediate boss of these enterprises. Although the heads of key enterprises like Middles could not be directly appointed or removed, they still
It has a huge home field advantage in the power of appointment and removal. Currently, there are so many heads of state-owned enterprises in Romania that the Minister of Industry cannot directly appoint or remove. You can count them on one hand.
Regarding Middles' caution, Baldovin shook his head and warned. "Don't be so humble. We can all see your efforts in the steel plant. I remember that last year you overfulfilled the assigned tasks, and the output of 2.18 million tons overwhelmed me."
Both the Prime Minister and the Prime Minister were shocked."
Baldovin's words were simply praising his performance last year. Middles, who was extremely proud of this matter, naturally responded very modestly. "This is all the credit of the steel plant. In addition, the mine also made great efforts for this.
Otherwise, steel plants would not be able to achieve such high output."
Middles did everything he could, and not only thanked everyone at the steel mill, but also those responsible for extracting raw materials.
Baldovin listened to his words and asked with a smile, "How did you complete this year's mission?"
"97% of the 2 million tons of steel task has been completed, and it is expected that the task assigned by the ministry will be completed in the next few days. This year's steel output will not be higher than that at the end of last year."
Middles's words made Baldovin very happy, "Very good, under your leadership, the steel plant will surely make a big breakthrough. However, in terms of scale, quality also needs to be improved. The current demand for armor steel by the Navy is
This requires you to increase your research efforts on steel. Try to get rid of the dependence on German technology as soon as possible and bring Romanian steel technology to a new level."
Baldovin had been silent in politics for many years, and he was full of words of praise and encouragement. After he finished speaking, he patted Middles on the shoulder to show that he was optimistic about him.
Baldovin's praise also made others cast envious eyes on him. If looks could kill, then Middles was already riddled with holes at this moment.
Middles took the opportunity to continue talking. "Sir, our steel plant currently invests a lot in technology. If you are interested, I can take you to the technology department, where new steel materials are being researched."
Baldovin was surprised by Middles' words, and then he answered with interest.
"Oh, really. Then lead the way."
"this way please."
…
Late at night, Baldovin, who had been inspecting for a day, was preparing to take a rest. Today's market results satisfied him. Not only did he see the scale effect of steelmaking in the steel plant, but he also saw the tireless research spirit of the steel plant on new technologies. Although it is still
There was no result, but in the explanation given by the factory director Middles, he also had a preliminary understanding of this. Moreover, the expenditure of the steel plant on the technical department can be seen and touched. Not only does it have the latest equipment, but also the personnel
The configurations are all top-notch, with R&D personnel from Germany and talents trained by Romania themselves. Everything is so organized.
Of course, he not only inspected the steel plant today, but also visited several surrounding heavy machinery manufacturing plants. Especially in the No. 1 Machinery Manufacturing Plant, hundreds of tons of monolithic steel were artificially shaped like dough under the action of a giant hydraulic press.
The desired specifications. All this made Baldovin feel that Romania is not what it used to be. Although there are some twists and turns, everything is developing and growing in an orderly manner.
One day, Romania's industrial strength will surprise the world.
Baldovin firmly believes in this, because Romania’s strength comes from everyone’s efforts.
As for what he saw and heard today, Baldovin recorded it. When he returns to Bucharest, he will present it to the king and the prime minister.
Baldovin, who was satisfied, needed to go to bed early and would need to inspect other companies tomorrow.
