Deep Market.

Inside a large manor.

In the study, Xiao Jun was sitting on the desk reading a book.

On the countertop is a thick pile of books and materials.

"Basic Knowledge of Electric Arc Furnace", "Core Information of Electric Arc Furnace of Ares Company", "Encyclopedia of Design Data of Ares' Five-phase Electric Arc Furnace", "Theory of Future Electric Arc Furnace Development Direction", "Encyclopedia of Electric Arc Furnace Technology of Antai Iron and Steel Company", ......

On the desk, there are basically books and materials related to electric arc furnaces.

All of the information was provided from Sepada and Takishima Comet. As for the rest of the data, it was some books that Xiao Jun had collected in his world.

Of course, the books collected by the Earth Institute on electric arc furnace technology are basically basic, only for understanding, and there is no advanced technical content.

The real electric arc furnace technology is either in the hands of those steel companies or in the hands of those R&D companies.

The reason why Xiao Jun reads these books is mainly to have an in-depth understanding of the earth's electric arc furnace technology.

What he really wants to learn is the electric arc furnace technology he got from Sebaida and Takishima Comet!

That's right, since he is determined to vigorously develop the steel industry, he definitely needs to have his own core technology.

In the past, the core technology of steel was the blast furnace!

The furnace is made of steel plate as the furnace shell, and the shell is lined with refractory bricks. The blast furnace body is divided into five parts: throat, body, waist, belly and cylinder. Due to the advantages of good technical and economic indicators of blast furnace ironmaking, simple process, large production capacity, high labor production efficiency and low energy consumption, the iron produced by this method accounts for the vast majority of the world's total iron output.

However, with the development of the times, the demand for high-quality steel in human industry is increasing, and the quality of steel produced by blast furnaces is indeed unsatisfactory.

So then came the advent of electric arc furnaces!

Today, most of the high-quality steel is produced in electric arc furnaces.

An electric arc furnace uses an electric furnace to smelt ores and metals at high temperatures generated by an electrode arc. When the gas discharge forms an arc, the energy is very concentrated, and the temperature of the arc area is above 3000°C~4000°C. For smelting metals, the electric arc furnace has greater process flexibility than other steelmaking furnaces, can effectively remove sulfur, phosphorus and other impurities, the furnace temperature is easy to control, the equipment occupies a small area, and is suitable for the smelting of high-quality alloy steel.

And Xiao Jun's own steel company is definitely taking the route of high-quality steel, not taking the low-end route just now. So he did not plan to build a blast furnace, but to build an electric arc furnace in its entirety.

First of all, the current blast furnace is polluting and not suitable for the development of the times.

On the contrary, the electric arc furnace uses electricity, and now how much is the electricity bill? With the Yinhe Group's Yinhe reactor on the market, the electricity bill in Huaxia is now very cheap, so the profits of the entire Huaxia industry have become even greater.

If all steel companies use electric arc furnaces in the future, then the profits will be greater and the costs will be lower!

Of course, at present, most of them are actually more blast furnaces, followed by electric arc furnaces. Take Huaxia as an example, there are still more blast furnaces in steel companies, why? First of all, Huaxia's original electricity was not allowed. It's not enough!

Electric arc furnaces are very power-hungry.

This is the same in other countries, industrial electricity is expensive, and it is even more expensive.

But now it's different, with the advent of the Galaxy reactor, a reactor produces 80 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity a year. Ten were built in Huaxia before, and more than 10 will be built in the next three years!

Now most of the steel companies in China are planning to build more electric arc furnaces.

Because, the electricity bill is cheap.

Moreover, the steel produced by the electric arc furnace is much higher quality than that of the blast furnace, which is more in line with the future development trend.

Due to the high thermal efficiency of the large-capacity electric arc furnace, the power consumption per ton of steel can be reduced, and at the same time, the average equipment investment per ton of steel is also greatly reduced, the cost of steel is reduced, and the labor productivity is improved. For example, a furnace with a capacity of 320 tons and a small furnace with a capacity of 5 tons will have a productivity difference of more than l00 times. In some special cases, when large quantities of high-quality molten steel are required, only a large-capacity electric arc furnace can meet the requirements. Therefore, many countries in the world use large-capacity electric arc furnaces. There are more than 30 electric arc furnaces above 80 tons, the largest of which is 400 tons. Huaxia electric arc furnace has a maximum capacity of 150 tons. There is still a big gap with the world.

In the 70s~80s of the 20th century, some industrially developed countries have developed DC steelmaking electric arc furnaces and have made significant progress. The island countries started late in the development of DC electric arc furnaces, but they have developed the fastest, and they are the countries with the largest number of DC electric arc furnaces in use at present. A single large-capacity electric arc furnace is a trend in the steelmaking industry in recent years, which can meet the demand for higher productivity of steel mills. In recent years, due to the development and application of high-power thyristor technology, DC electric arc furnace has attracted people's attention again with its advantages.

It is said that the most powerful electric arc furnace at present is the world's largest 420-ton DC electric arc furnace, 420-ton ladle refining furnace and double vacuum degassing system successfully manufactured by Italy in the past few years. The furnace is used to produce low-carbon steel, ultra-low-carbon steel and high-grade deoxidized sedative steel, with an annual production capacity of 2.6 million tons.

So Xiao Jun will definitely choose an electric arc furnace instead of a traditional steel blast furnace!

Now Xiao Jun is studying the "Ares Electric Arc Furnace Core Data" and "Ares Five-Phase Electric Arc Furnace Design Data" these days. Both of these documents were obtained from Sepada.

Originally, the world where Seboda was located had a technological level several times higher than that of Xiao Jun's side.

Especially in the area of steel technology.

For example, Skynet developed liquid steel, which can be liquefied.

.

This liquid steel has gone beyond the definition of steel. A robot can be liquefied, which proves that the steel in it, in addition to just now, also includes the integration of circuits, chips, weapons, electronic systems, and so on.

It can belong to a super epoch-making new material!

This new material is a fusion of alloys, chip materials, electronic materials, weapons, etc., and the parts of the above fields can be designed and used on this liquid steel!

In other words, this liquid steel can be used as graphene, silicon crystal, plastic, alloy, circuit, explosive...... And so on!

For example, a robot needs materials such as alloys, circuit materials, chip materials, weapon materials, explosives, new materials, and so on. However, there is only one material of all the liquid robots in people's people, and that is liquefied steel. The same material can make parts in various fields, terrifying!

However, this liquid steel technology is still being sorted out by Seboda, and he hopes to get the core technology of this material.

After all, it was not invented by Seboda, but Skynet, and I have to say that Skynet is too demonic.
