Chapter 872 Base

The chief engineer of the steelmaking base is Shi Luan, the successor of the third generation of the Shi family's industrial system.

The large open hearth furnace can smelt 10,000 catties of steel at a time, and the workers push the thick asbestos insulation wall shield to the fire mouth, and after observing the flame distribution and color through the black glass, the fire master stretches out a long steel spoon, first burns red on the flame at the observation port, and then slowly extends into the furnace to scoop out the sample molten steel.

The year before last, a furnace in Shangzhou had a violent explosion because workers added coal that was wet and not dried out by rain, resulting in the death of nine workers.

In the subsequent design scheme, a material chute was added, and the material could only enter the furnace after being heated and dried in the material chute.

Soon after the molten steel was taken out by the workers, it became a semi-solidified state, and several technicians quickly took it off, hammer forging, quenching, testing, and after confirming that the steel was qualified, they rang the bell of the workshop and began to clear the field.

The taphole is also sprayed by a flamethrower, the temperature is heated and the water is removed, and as soon as the steel port is opened, the temperature and brightness of the entire workshop suddenly skyrocket.

Su You hid far behind the protective shield, and he felt that he was about to be scorched.

Bright molten steel splashed steel flowers into the steel drums, but the workers wearing asbestos protective clothing and sunglasses suddenly caught the buckets of molten steel, transported them, poured the molds, and then sent them to a huge hydraulic roll mill to roll and deform, turning into plates and steel bars.

After that, there are countless heat treatment processes, pickling processes, and finally it can be turned into qualified steel.

Coming out of the workshop, Su You found that he was soaking wet, and said to Su Yan and Shi Luan: "Skilled workers are all treasures to us, how about their heatstroke prevention and cooling subsidies?" ”

Su Hui said: "Uncle Xiao, don't worry, they have a monthly heatstroke prevention and cooling fee, as well as medicines and white sugar, let's go, let's go to the next workshop." ”

Riding in the carriage, the group came to the hardware processing factory.

A workshop is producing Shenji guns.

The steel bars sent by the steel mill are punched and forged by dies to become standard tubes, and then fed into a heat treatment furnace to make the steel softer and less hard, and turn it into workpieces that are easy to process.

After that, it is turned into a solid iron column with a standard outer diameter, and then bored on the boring machine.

After the boring is completed, the rifling of the wire drawing machine is also required.

The cutters for lathes and boring machines come from Erlin, rare earth alloy steel cutter heads, which are the only places in Dasong that can provide them.

Each step of the process is tested to strict standards, after which the tube is re-heat treated and carburized to restore its hardness.

Finally, it is necessary to bake blue to enhance the corrosion resistance in tropical sea areas.

The Thunderbolt cannon barrel and the more powerful Zhenguo General cannon barrel are more difficult and the construction period is longer.

Fortunately, in addition to the pipe fittings, other parts of the Shenji gun can be made by stamping, which is relatively convenient and fast.

For example, the stinging gun, Su You saw the workers put a red-hot steel rod under the stamping machine, and then released the forging hammer, the forging hammer slowly lowered, squeezed the steel rod, and forged the shape of the stabbing gun on the anvil with a die groove in three or two strokes.

The apprentice was waiting on the side, and after the master had forged one, he clamped it and quenched it.

The workshop was in full swing, no one had time to deal with Su You's group, and there were a bunch of workpieces waiting to be processed.

Sapper shovels and knives are simpler to process, they are all prefabricated shaped steel and iron sheets, heated and forged together.

After that, there is a pickling workshop, a heat treatment workshop, and a fine grinding workshop.

There is a lot of noise in the fine grinding workshop, and as in the pickling workshop, there are mostly female workers here.

The female workers wore masks and earplugs on their ears and had their own set of gestures to communicate with each other.

The grinding stones are all standard grinding discs made of silicate mixed graphite, water glass, corundum, etc., where the weapons are polished into large ones and then sent to the belt grinding machine for fine grinding.

Su You put on linen gloves and picked up a knife from a female worker who was in charge of the final polishing process to check, the boundary between steel and iron is a curved steel blade pattern, although it is not as beautiful and natural as the pattern of the earth-covered burning blade, but it also expresses his ingenuity and strength.

"Beautiful!" Su You said with a smile: "This knife is in Bianjing City, don't give it twice?" ”

"I don't give five times!" Shi Lian took the knife strip and pointed to the small round steel seal behind the craftsman's code on the knife strip building, which was a small "Jiao" word: "Jiaozhi steel!" This seal alone is worth two times! ”

The factory works three shifts, so the workers are provided with four meals, in addition to breakfast, noon and evening, as well as supper.

Su You and his entourage had lunch in the factory canteen.

Rice, curry dishes, and roasted vegetables are the main dishes, as well as stir-fried water spinach and amaranth, a total of seven or eight kinds.

The soup is sauerkraut vermicelli soup.

The management of the factory is a large number of people in Meishan, and the taste is partial to the taste of Sichuan, even cold pork head meat, cold rabbit dice, and small pickles.

Shi Lian said: "We have our own three productions, growing vegetables, raising pigs, raising cattle and sheep, and making sauce, all of which are in charge of the farm. ”

Su You tasted the cold rabbit and said in surprise: "This is really the taste of Meishan, it hasn't changed at all!" Vier, try it! ”

After eating, Su You went to the factory building again to listen to the report on the construction of Yezhou.

It is a large city based on steel, and the periphery is also involved in the smelting of copper, silver, gold, and tin.

On the outer periphery are the three acid and two alkaline chemical plants and explosives factories that support the metallurgical and military industries.

Then the periphery is hardware processing.

Further periphery are mineral processing, coal washing, coking plants, and gas plants.

On the periphery, there are various tertiary industries.

This is a brand new immigrant city, and now the total number of workers and their families, as well as some tertiary industry personnel absorbed from the local government, has reached 30,000.

In addition, it is also an important research base, with special exploration institutes, metallurgical research institutes, chemical research institutes and ship design institutes.

The backbone of the department members, many of them are the second and third generations of orphans adopted by Sitong Business in Shuzhong, these people's gratitude and worship for Sitong and Su You is self-evident, and when they heard that Su You and Shi Wei came to visit them, they rushed out of the hospital to greet them.

Designers often draw drawings and do experiments, and the inconvenience of wide robes and wide sleeves is that Su You designed the inner clothes for them are military shirts, slim trousers on the outside, open-collared robes on the outside, and cloth hats to protect their hair.

In addition, many researchers still had glasses on the bridge of their noses, and a group of people poured out, and Su You thought that he had traveled back to the research department of a large state-owned factory in the 80s.

Then a group of young people who looked like scientific researchers in later generations joined hands with Su You, and Su You came to his senses and didn't go back, still in the Great Song Dynasty.

The design institute is a large area, in addition to a few reinforced concrete design buildings, there is also a huge square in the middle.

On the periphery of the square is a ring of running tracks, similar to the playground of later generations.

Researchers also have to run and do gymnastics every morning, which are mandatory rules.

In their spare time, they also play rugby, hammer balls, and kemari.

The design building is also similar to the design building of later generations, except that it is only a big five-star above the central gatehouse.

In the auditorium next to the management building, Su You presented medals to several young people at the institute who received the Discoverer's Medal this year.

Among them, there are Li Qingyuan, the inventor of large-scale plate steam bending forming technology, Zhan Wenguang, the inventor of herringbone railway turnouts and triggers, Wu Chunjing, the inventor of carburizing technology on the inner surface of the pipe, and Liu Shidao, who is not in business, is obviously a researcher at the Cement Research Institute, but invented the ceramic grouting molding technology.

When the award was given to him, Su You also asked: "Did your father make the tendon pot I wanted?" ”

Liu Shidao smiled: "It's soon, it's almost ......."

This baby is a reader, but the hobby is to make pots, Su You in Yixing Dingshu Town to make a purple clay pot, highly sought after by literati, local cultural people also participate in the design, so far there have been eighteen classic types.

There are also many kinds of decorative techniques, including pile painting, color painting, carving, and sand laying......

However, the most sought after are not professionals, but literati amateurs carving calligraphy and paintings with ivory picks.

Su You is also one of the players, who is good at picking blue stones, bamboo leaves and calamus, and often communicates with high-end players in Liangzhejiang Road for collections.

Liu Shidao's father is a master of muscles and capsules, which is characterized by complex lines, equal division and symmetry, and it is extremely difficult to make it by hand.

Later, after the family moved to Dingshu Town, Liu's father continued to make celadon and occasionally made purple clay pots to play.

Liu Shidao invented a method to use gypsum to pour the purple sand ware made by his father, and then inject mud into the cavity, and wait until the gypsum absorbs water to open the mold, and after processing and trimming, it is the carcass.

Then install the spout and handle, and the handmade and complicated tendon sac device can be made wholesale by this baby.

Three identical pots appeared on the market, and then Liu's father was soon sued by the collectors to Su You.

Su You found clues from the three pots, two of which had traces of mud wing repair at the seams of the mold.

It's an imitation, but the mud is the same old mud refined by Lao Liu, this can't be faked, it must be a thief in the Liu family.

The old man has been an honest craftsman all his life, and after learning the truth, he wanted to kill his relatives in righteousness, and it was Su You who saved this kid and sent him to the Institute of Technology to study cement.
