Chapter 15 Five-color steel
Wei Bing, who entered the iron-making workshop, was as uncomfortable as being roasted by fire at the moment. The heat in the workshop barely made him breathless. Sweat poured down his clothes like rain. It made him feel suffocated.
Yuan Yihu distributes iron ore, coke and limestone into a charge according to a certain proportion, and adds it to the furnace in batches from the top inlet, and at the same time blows the preheated air into the furnace from the air inlet at the bottom of the furnace belly. Because the hot gas rises from the bottom and the charge falls up and down, they can be fully contacted in the furnace, so that the reaction can be carried out smoothly, and at the same time, the charge can be gradually preheated, so that the heat energy can be fully utilized. Near the air intake, the coke emitted a large amount of heat, and everyone present couldn't open their eyes.
As soon as coke and iron ore come into contact, they immediately produce a wonderful chemical reaction. The billowing red melt suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
As soon as Wei Bing saw this dissolution appearing, he shouted happily, "How is it?
But when Yuan Yihu and the workers saw this red dissolution, they all shook their heads and looked listless. Because the better the quality of iron ore, the less difficult it is to smelt. The ore melted as soon as it entered the furnace, indicating that the quality of the ore itself was extremely poor.
Maybe it's scrap iron slag, some workers muttered quietly. Wait, you can't let this kid run away, he still owes us a million!
At this moment, Yuan Yihu also felt a little remorse in his heart. If this kid can't come up with a million later, then he will be a big shame this time. Just now, even the junior brother was invited by someone sent by himself. Wait a while, you'll have to be disciplined by him!
Just as everyone was staring at Wei Bing, suddenly a wonderful change occurred in the iron-making furnace. The huge iron-making furnace suddenly creaked, and at this moment, the color of the dissolution also changed, and a bewitching blue appeared in the dissolution. It only stunned everyone on the spot.
Is this going to be steely, Yuan Yihu looked at everything in front of him incredulously. Incredibly wiping his protective goggles. Because he knows that steel can only be cast if it is made into iron. Never heard of ore being made directly into steel.
What should the factory director do? The workers next to him were at a loss.
Although Yuan Yihu has also made steel, he is not good at steelmaking technology because his specialty is ironmaking. At this moment, countless questions surged in his heart. What kind of metal is this? How can it be turned directly into steel? Your own iron-making blast furnace and steel-making open-hearth furnace are definitely two different things. Can it withstand the impact of this dissolution?
His brain was spinning rapidly, but he couldn't think of a suitable solution. This kid has made me miserable!" Yuan Yihu thought to himself.
Just when he was helpless, he suddenly felt that someone patted him on the back, and he looked back to see that his junior brother Han Jie was standing behind him.
General Manager, how did you get in. Yuan Yihu said excitedly.
Han Jie was not in a hurry, looked at the blue dissolution and said solemnly, Senior brother, I have seen the situation. This furnace metal has a weirdness. Hurry up and cool down! It's important to keep everyone safe!
After Yuan Yihu said three good words in a row, he hurriedly asked the workers in the workshop to prepare the cooling equipment.
After the cooling equipment was ready, Han Jie said, you all retreat to the outside of the factory, don't come in without my order.
Yuan Yihu was the first to object, I can't leave you alone.
There is danger here! We have never smelted this kind of metal, and we don't know that the metal element is stable or unstable. There may be a danger of the fryer at any time! You take the workers to withdraw first, I am from a steelmaking background, and I will protect myself!
But no matter how Han Jie dissuaded him, Yuan Yihu just wanted to stay.
At this moment, the squeaking sound in the iron-making furnace sounded again, and the blue dissolution gradually turned to black, which made people shudder to watch!
Han Jie knew that the squeaking sound was made by the iron-making furnace when it couldn't withstand the heat. If you don't leave, you really won't be in a hurry.
He shouted to the two workers and said, "You two quickly carry Director Yuan away!"
When the workers saw the general manager speak, they did not hesitate, and everyone dragged Yuan Yihu out of the ironmaking workshop.
After seeing the people leave, Han Jie came to the cooling equipment. At this moment, his whole body was soaked with sweat. The cooling button in front of me seems to be small, but at this time, it seems to have a thousand weights. My own life is between pressing and not pressing. His fingers were close to the button, and as he was making a decision, he suddenly noticed that there was still a person next to him who had not left.
This person is Wei Bing, this guy saw everyone running out of the iron-making workshop, and he knew that there must be something wrong with the ore. But he has always been confident in what Li Chun converted, so he simply stayed, wanting to see how things would develop in the end.
Wei Bing shouted loudly, "Hurry up and press the button!" I watched from the side.
Han Jie wanted to drive him away immediately, but at this time, the iron-making furnace continued to squeak, and the dissolution flow in the furnace continued to change color. White and green appear in the melt stream, which transforms into five different colors like a canvas. At the same time, the constant squeaking sound in the iron-making furnace also made the two people in front of the furnace shudder.
I can't wait any longer! Stand behind me! Han Jie pulled Wei Bing behind him and decisively pressed the button of the cooling device.
The loud noise of the cooler instantly drowned out all the noise. The people outside the workshop heard this voice clearly.
But after the sound, the workshop instantly calmed down. People were staring at the door to enter the workshop, nervously speechless.
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, thirty minutes! Half an hour passed quickly. The excited Yuan Yihu wanted to rush into the workshop several times, but was forcibly stopped by the workers.
When he rushed towards the workshop again, the door of the steelmaking workshop was gently pushed open, and Han Jie and Wei Bing walked out of the ironmaking workshop side by side.
Seeing that Han Jie was fine, everyone's hearts relaxed. Yuan Yihu ran up to Han Jie, punched him in the chest and said, You guy!
I'm fine! I talked to Xiao Wei for a while just now, and we will buy all the ore in their mine in the future!
Han Jie saw that Yuan Yihu hadn't understood yet, so he gave him a look and said, You send a few trustworthy people to take care of the workshop, and if you don't have me, no one will go in!
Yuan Yihu immediately understood what he meant, this furnace of steel smelting made such a big movement, it must be extraordinary. These are due to iron ore. If the news leaks and is known by other competitors, it will definitely be a great loss to the company. Be cautious.
After Han Jie made the arrangement, he took Wei Bing's hand and said, Xiao Wei, let's go take a bath and eat first, the matter on the contract, when we have rested, we will go to my office to talk.
Wei Bing won the bet, and wanted to hurt Yuan Yihu in front of everyone. But Han Jie didn't let him speak at all, and pulled him away. Directly arranged him in the steel mill guest house.
Wei Bing, who was hot and sweaty in the workshop, didn't have time to catch his breath after taking a bath. Han Jie invited him to the restaurant, and several main leaders of the steel mill were all present to accompany him, and all of them were extremely enthusiastic about Wei Bing. They all stepped forward to toast. This made Wei Bing, who was still turned away in the morning, feel extremely comfortable. I didn't even have a few drinks before I got drunk!
Han Jie saw that he was drunk, and immediately sent someone to send him back to the room to take care of him. And instructed outsiders not to disturb.
After the arrangements were made, Han Jie took several factory directors to the inspection department of the steel mill. Yuan Yihu and Chief Engineer Dewey have been waiting for them for a long time.
How is it? Has the sample result been detected? Is it special steel! Han Jie asked eagerly.
Not only is it special steel! It is super special steel! Chief Engineer Dewey said excitedly.
This steel is denser and harder than all the special steels we have had. And the radiation is extremely low, making it suitable for both military and civilian use. And this steel has excellent toughness and extremely low weight. If it can be produced on a large scale, it will exceed all known special steels in the world!
Moreover, Dewey cleared his throat. This steel has a characteristic that we know steel cannot surpass. That is, it has five lines of color spectrum!
Could it be that it has five colors? Yuan Yihu asked curiously.
Yes, I found that this steel is red in the normal state, but it can automatically change according to the change of the surrounding color system, red, black, white, green, blue and other five colors.
Ahh It's not that there is life in this steel. Everyone present sighed!
Seeing everyone's excitement, Dewey continued. The market prospects for this steel are huge. And the tapping rate is very high. I have already seen it in the workshop, and ten tons of ore have a total of 9,400 kilograms of steel. This 94% tapping rate is the world's first!
Senior brother, you have been refining iron for more than 30 years, but you didn't expect the world's No. 1 steelmaking expert! Han Jie said to Yuan Yihu with a smile.
I didn't expect the result to be like this! I was really lucky today! Yuan Yihu looked at Han Jie, and then said, Senior brother, this steel is refined by you. Give it a name!
Han Jie pondered for a moment and said, This steel can change five colors, and it has a hard texture. Let's call him five-color steel!
When everyone heard this, they said yes in unison. Han Jie looked at everyone and said firmly, this five-color steel is the turning point of our factory. No matter what the cost, we must take down the fine steel mine!
The next day, Wei Bing, who had just woken up, was invited by Han Jie to the general manager's office. A contract sits on the desk. Han Jie said to Wei Bing seriously, Xiao Wei, I have been thinking about it all night, and I can't hide it from you just because you are a layman. The quality of your iron ore is better than we imagined. I hope you can provide all the ore to our factory. We bought it at a price of 10,000 Chinese dollars per ton. It's also the highest price I can offer. Please consider my sincerity.
Wei Bing looked at Han Jie and said, Manager Han, I won't tell you. Yesterday when I saw you left alone in the workshop, I had already decided to sell the iron ore to your factory. After all, there are not many people who can think about the workers now. At this point, I sold you this ore!
Okay, let's sign the contract right away! I'll cover up all the ore you have. Han Jie said happily.
The general manager won't tell you, it depends on how much money you have. As long as the money is in place, the ore is there!
As soon as Wei Bing's words fell, Han Jie was immediately shocked on the spot!
