The intense training work of Panshi Security Company did not have any impact on the overall technical upgrading project of Tiangong Smelter.

On the contrary, all the security team members have to spare four hours every day to participate in the metallurgical smelting technology course guided by French engineers, and give on-site special explanations in combination with the technical transformation of the smelting equipment in the factory.

The physical work of some groups on the construction site naturally served as part of the physical training of the security team.

Participating in collective labor has always been an effective way to increase the centripetal force of the team.

A large number of smelting equipment imported from France, that is, cranes, loaders, forklifts and other engineering equipment as the main force, but there are still a large number of machinery and equipment that need manpower to assist in moving and installing.

The predecessor of Tiangong Smelter was engaged in the production of industrial copper smelting, and now it has to be adjusted to produce aluminum alloy with ingot metallurgical process, plus the renovation of the plant, the workload of the whole project is quite large.

More than 300 smelter staff volunteered, from the three construction contractors responsible for the renovation business to the EDF engineering team. Even if they only help for half a day, it also speeds up the progress of the projects they are responsible for a lot.

The French are very dedicated and efficient, and the installation of the melting furnace and the static furnace has been completed and is now entering the commissioning section of the equipment.

For this kind of technical and professional work, Yang Weiping has always been in a rigorous and serious attitude, and he is not right about things.

If the French did anything during the commissioning of the equipment, it would be shameless.

To this end, Yang Weiping specially informed Pratt, the head of the project team of EDF, that he must be present when the smelting furnace and static furnace are commissioned.

Of course, Pratt cannot refuse the reasonable request of the customer.

This is the nineteenth day of the technical transformation project of the smelter.

At half past nine in the morning, Yang Weiping received a call from a Frenchman in his office, informing him to go to the casting workshop in 40 minutes to participate in the acceptance and commissioning of two 60-ton large smelting furnaces.

After putting down the phone, Yang Weiping did not make any delay, and walked out of the office directly, striding towards the casting workshop on the west side.

Along the way, figures wearing three different colors and styles of work clothes in yellow, blue and gray were busy at various construction sites.

The orange-yellow figures on the scaffolding are construction workers, the gray figures hurrying through the various workshops are EDF technicians, and the light blue overalls are all former employees and security guards of the Tiangong smelter.

The staff of Tiangong Smelter are now responsible for the ground work that has no potential safety hazards, such as leveling the road in the factory area, planting flowers and trees and green belts, and cleaning up construction waste.

Many employees saw Yang Weiping, who was also wearing light blue overalls, and enthusiastically shouted "Hello boss" while working.

Yang Weiping had an approachable smile on his face and nodded to the employees from time to time.

Yang Weiping is still quite satisfied with the work attitude and mental outlook of this group of employees.

Everyone is using their greatest enthusiasm to complete the work assigned to them. Even if some of the work was dirty and tiring, and it didn't stick to the work they were supposed to do, no one complained about it.

The employees have a saying in their hearts, and they see the continuous changes of the factory day by day, and they also see it in their eyes and are happy in their hearts. There's no one who doesn't like to be able to work and live in a garden-like environment.

About ten minutes, Yang Weiping came to the door of the casting workshop.

This is a 120-meter-long, 35-meter-wide, 12-meter-high, refractory brick frame structure large factory, the exterior and interior walls are freshly painted, and even the doors and windows are wiped clean. …,

There was no one at the door of the workshop, Yang Weiping looked around left and right, and then walked inside.

In the spacious and bright workshop, the smelting furnace, melting furnace and static holding furnace are arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the two-meter-wide passage painted with dark green floor paint.

The two melting furnaces and holding furnaces are still being installed in an orderly manner, and the two large melting furnaces at the inner end are almost ready.

Six Europeans in grey overalls gather around a melting furnace, holding installation and measuring tools for final inspection before commissioning.

Seeing Yang Weiping from far and near, a tall European in his forties, with blond hair, blue eyes and white skin, and a pair of black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose raised his hand and greeted: "Yang, this way." ”

Yang Weiping nodded lightly without smiling, quickened his pace to the French 60-ton smelting furnace, and looked around the furnace twice with a scrutinizing gaze.

This large-scale top-opening circular furnace, together with tilting holding furnace, is currently the most widely used advanced metallurgical equipment in Europe. The feeding and charging are mechanically automated. This is when Yang Weiping negotiated with EDF, saying that the future primary aluminum will be provided by the other company, so he is fortunate to get this batch of very advanced metallurgical equipment in the world today.

EDF made a special trip to Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong, for this large order with a total cost of nearly 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and sent a commercial and technical team led by Pratt, the director of technology in Asia, to Kwun Tong, Kowloon, Hong Kong.

The French thought they could use their obsolete equipment to fool the Hong Kong people, but in the course of the negotiations, Yang Weiping's expertise in aluminum smelting and aluminum alloy casting stunned the entire team of engineering technicians, and no one dared to underestimate the young Hong Kong boss.

Yang Weiping climbed from the side ladder of the furnace to the entrance of the top charge, leaned over and looked carefully into the empty furnace, and saw the mechanical stirring device at the bottom of the furnace, and couldn't help but show a knowing smile at the corner of his mouth.

"Pratt, the equipment you provided is very good!" Yang Weiping stood on the top of the stove and gave Pratt a thumbs up below, then pouted and said, "However, I still don't think it's good enough." ”

"Yang, although you are indeed very professional in metallurgy, there is sometimes a big gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application!" Pratt's face was obviously not very happy, and he exclaimed: "You can be regarded as a metallurgical expert, but you are not qualified to evaluate this most advanced smelting furnace in Europe!"

"NONONO, Pratt, as a metallurgical professional, always pay attention to today's latest smelting equipment, this is a must!" Yang Weiping raised his right index finger, shook it lightly and smiled: "Take the smelting furnace you said, the stirrer at the bottom of the furnace is very unscientific. ”

"Do you have a way to improve?" Pratt asked, pursing his lips disdainfully and sneering.

"Why don't we make a bet. Yang Weiping slowly descended from the side ladder of the furnace, and said with an indifferent smile: "If I can help you improve the efficiency of this furnace, what do you say?"

"What if you can't?" said Pratt, slyly smirking as his blue eyes swirled.

"You can do whatever you want!" replied Yang Weiping quite dryly.

Thinking of the wealth of professional knowledge that Yang Weiping had shown before, Pratt really didn't dare to make a casual bet with the young Hong Kong boss in front of him.

"Yang, can you really improve this smelting furnace ground entry technique?" Pratt asked as he stared at Yang Weiping.

"Hehe, Pratt, we Chinese people have always been unable to do it, don't say it, and if you say it, you will definitely be able to do it. Yang Weiping replied with a smile and nodded.

"How?" Pratt asked with excitement in his eyes. …,

"This makes the chemical composition of this melting furnace more homogeneous, and at the same time greatly reduces the labor intensity of the operator. Yang Weiping smiled indifferently.

"You mean the stirrer at the bottom of the furnace?" Pratt asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, it's the blender. Yang Weiping nodded and smiled.

"Yang, if you can really increase the composition of the alloy produced in this melting furnace, I can apply to the company to waive the remaining thirty percent of your project payment!" the expression on Pratt's face was particularly solemn.

"Plus a 3,600-ton extruder, and your company will provide me with 1,000 tons of aluminum ingots for free!" Yang Weiping also seriously prescribed his conditions.

Pratt secretly calculated in his heart, and gave him a second-hand extruder, which is estimated to be worth about one million US dollars, and the current market value of 1,000 tons of aluminum ingots is also around 2 million US dollars, and the final payment of the project of 9 million Hong Kong dollars is waived, that is, if it wants to get Yang's improved technology, the company will have to pay a price of 3.5 million US dollars.

But if it can really improve the purity of the finished product of the melting furnace and reduce the labor intensity, this technological innovation is definitely worth it in the long run.

Thinking of this, Pratt said with a look of hesitation: "Yang, your conditions are too high, I can't be the master, I need to ask the head office for instructions." I could call back to the office right away, but, Yang, are you really sure you can do it?"

After saying that, Pratt's eyes looked extraordinarily solemn.

"I promise, Pratt, if I lie to you, I'm willing to pay you this factory of mine!" replied Yang Weiping with a very positive nod.

"Okay, Yang, I believe you, I'll go to your office and report to the company right away. After Pratt finished speaking, he turned around and left, not waiting for Yang Weiping, the main master.

Raising his eyes to look at Pratt's hurried back, a clear smile flashed in Yang Weiping's eyes.

It was not so much that he was on Pratt's pulse, but rather that he was calculating that EDF would be interested in this technological innovation.

This type of melting furnace is a new product just launched by a metallurgical equipment manufacturing company owned by EDF, and the uneven chemical composition of the smelting product has always been a problem that the company has spent great efforts to tackle.

The improved technology that Yang Weiping is going to come up with now is the electromagnetic stirrer that this metallurgical equipment company developed three years later!
