Chapter 1679 Never back down

Steel flowers fly, sparks splash everywhere. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The boiling red molten iron is sent from the blast furnace workshop to the back-up station attached to the converter workshop by the molten iron tanker, and then mixed into the iron mixing furnace by the molten iron crane, and after pretreatment, the molten iron is then sent to the working platform of the converter workshop along the trestle by the molten iron tanker, and then the molten iron is sent into the converter with the help of the molten iron crane.

After the converter blows pure oxygen, the slag material is continuously fed into the converter to absorb the sulfur and phosphorus in the molten iron.

At this time, the molten iron and slag begin to oscillate under the effect of electromagnetic induction applied externally, the boiling molten metal is in full contact with the oxygen blown in from the top, the carbon is continuously oxidized, the carbon content in the molten metal decreases rapidly, and a large amount of carbon monoxide gas meets the surrounding air when it is discharged from the furnace mouth, oxidizes and burns, forming a huge flame seedling.

Dressed in a canvas long-sleeved protective suit, with dark goggles on his eyes, a hard hat on his head, asbestos gloves on his hands, thick stockings on his feet, and a huge steel rod, the steelmaker stood on a high platform on the side of the converter, calmly observing the situation of the molten metal and the furnace mouth in the sparks that shot from the sky.

After professional training, today's workers can judge the melt pool temperature and the amount of carbon monoxide discharged per unit time by the color, brightness, shape and length of the flame at the converter opening.

Generally speaking, the carbon oxidation is less in the early stage of blowing, the melt pool temperature is lower, the furnace flame is short, and the color is dark red. In the middle of blowing, the carbon begins to oxidize violently, and the carbon monoxide is generated, the flame is white and bright, and the length increases, which is extremely powerful. When the carbon content is further reduced to about 0.2 percent, the carbon monoxide gas is significantly reduced due to the obvious slowdown of the decarburization rate, and the flame begins to shrink sharply, soften, and shake, and looks extremely thin.

An Yi stood in the workshop director's room, through the thick glass window, to see the entire oxidation and decarburization workflow, the steelmaking master to pull out the molten steel slag, and then the molten steel was introduced into the refining furnace for argon blowing, wire feeding, prealloying, silicon addition, endpoint control and other treatments, and finally the molten steel was sent to the ingot mold or continuous steel casting machine through the molten steel ladle to obtain the steel ingot or continuous casting billet.

Wei Yisong, director of Luzhou Iron and Steel Plant, pointed to the three 130-ton converters in the workshop and said proudly:

"Before the pure oxygen top blowing converter steelmaking method was adopted, an open-hearth furnace with a furnace capacity of 600 tons had an annual production capacity of 500,000 tons of steel, and an open-hearth furnace with a capacity of 900 tons had an annual production capacity of only 700,000 tons of steel. However, the 130-tonne converter we are using now has an annual production capacity of around 2.2 million tonnes of steel when the smelting cycle is 30 minutes and is operated continuously.

"Originally, there was only one open-hearth furnace with a capacity of 900 tons, which took up both space and a large number of workers, but after technical transformation, we dismantled the open-hearth furnace and built three converters with a capacity of 130 tons, and the annual steel production capacity suddenly exceeded 4.5 million tons. If it were not for the lack of pig iron supply, the annual steel production capacity would reach 9 million tons if the workshop composed of three 300-ton converters was adopted. ”

An Yi looked at the steel flowers that were constantly spraying in the workshop outside, due to the steaming of the air waves, even the air seemed to be distorted and deformed, and then another converter began to pour molten steel again, An Yi saw the happy smiles on the faces of the workers who endured the high temperature and smoke, and his heart was also happy. At this time, when he heard Wei Yisong's explanation, he turned his head and asked with some surprise: "Why did you improve so quickly all of a sudden?" ”

Yu Yisong said with emotion: "It's amazing! The new steelmaking method has reduced the steelmaking cost by 60%, the production speed has been accelerated by 3 times, and the utilization rate of ore raw materials has been increased by 80%. At present, the normal age of a furnace is about 600 furnaces, and once this number is reached, we have to consider replacement, so it is extremely scientific and reasonable to maintain the continuous operation of two converters in a standard workshop. ”

Jing Shanpu, deputy general manager of South Sichuan Group, who accompanied An Yi on his inspection visit, introduced to An Yi:

In addition to the three converters, the sections include the iron mixing furnace section, the demoulding section, the whole mold section, the raw material section, the ingot mold field, the slag yard, the raw material yard, the tar dolomite brick workshop, the oxygen station, the limestone roasting workshop, the refractory material workshop, the steel ingot warehouse, the machine repair workshop pumping station, the scrap steel treatment workshop, the maintenance workshop, etc. These sections and workshops are only part of the steel mill, with up to 13,900 tonnes of process equipment installed, including 5,200 tonnes of transport equipment. In terms of technical strength and production capacity, we have deserved to be the first in the world. ”

Jing Shanpu, a native of Huai'an, Jiangsu, entered Tianjin Nankai Middle School in 1918, when he was only fifteen years old, studied in the United States in 1920, entered the Harvard Business School to study, returned to China in 1925, once ran his own yarn factory and textile factory in his hometown, but under the impact of the warlord's exploitation and Japanese goods, the factory closed down in the second half of 1926, and Jingshan Pu went bankrupt and fell ill.

After two years in his hometown, the Northern Expedition was successful. Jing Shanpu, who was destitute, saw that Anyi Group was recruiting students to study in the United States, so he signed up to study in the United States again. This time, he was admitted to Stanford University's graduate school of business. During the study period, coinciding with the outbreak of the U.S. economic crisis, Jing Shanpu participated in Zhang Xi's economic team, participated in the acquisition and restructuring of a series of factories and enterprises, returned to China after graduating with a master's degree in business administration in three or four years, and was appointed as the deputy manager of the investment management department of Sichuan South Group, and presided over the investment management department for three or six years, and was just promoted to deputy general manager of the group this year.

Although An Yi had expected that with the upgrading of technology, there would be a leap forward in steel production in southern Sichuan, but he never imagined that the production capacity had reached such a terrifying number.

Due to the impact of the economic crisis, in the first half of this year, the United States produced only 20 million tons of steel and 18 million tons of pig iron when the operating rate of steel plants was less than 50 percent, but with the outbreak of war in Europe, it is expected that the output will quickly double.

Look at Nanhua again, according to Wei Yisong, if the iron ore can be effectively guaranteed, the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant, which uses a 300-ton converter production workshop, can achieve an annual output of 9 million tons of steel, plus the steel plants in southern Sichuan and Yunnan, Anyi Group's steel output can reach 30 million tons of steel, surpassing Japan's 7 million tons, Britain's 13.18 million tons, the Soviet Union's 18.31 million tons and Germany's 21.54 million tons, becoming the world's second largest steel producer.

Of course, this is only a theoretical figure, technology and technology, does not mean that there is really such a high output, at present, the serious restriction of Anyi Group's steel production is still the supply of iron ore and pig iron.

Anyi Group is not like the United States, the United States has a unique advantage, can integrate the iron ore resources of the entire American continent for its own use, and there are only a few iron ores in southern China, although Panzhihua iron ore reserves are abundant, but to be fully developed and utilized, it can not be achieved in two or three years, so even if it concentrates the iron ore resources of Daye, Ma'anshan and other places, the steel output in the southwest region is at most six or seven million tons. As for Nanhua, although the coal and iron resources in the Taiyuan area are abundant, mining is a big problem, and it is far from being able to expand as much as it wants, which is 15 million in production.

Of course, this figure does not take into account steel production in Central Asia. At present, the steel production in Central Asia is about 2 million tons, and if the Kemirovo-Temiltau region is taken under control, it can increase to more than 3.5 million tons. In addition, in the future steel production in Central Asia, it is necessary to introduce the pure oxygen top blowing converter steelmaking method, so that it is entirely possible to increase the steel output in Central Asia to 10 million tons in two or three years. On the whole, Nanhua, which has adopted new steelmaking technology, has unlimited development potential.

An Yi asked: "In addition to Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant and Luzhou Iron and Steel Plant, are there other steel plants that have undergone technological transformation?" ”

Jing Shanpu replied: "After the Lugou Bridge Incident last year, we carried out mergers and reorganizations of chaotic and disorderly iron and steel enterprises, and after giving certain financial compensation, foreign capital was stripped out of the iron and steel enterprises, and now a pattern of a large iron and steel group in one region has been formed.

"Because Syria often has domestic and foreign guests to visit, so the group vetoed the application for technical transformation of Syria Iron and Steel Plant, still using a 900-ton capacity open-hearth furnace, a total of three large production workshops, with an annual output of 1.5 million tons of steel. In addition, the steel mills in Artesian Well, Zhaotong, Xuyong and other places are limited to scale, each with a 600-ton open-hearth workshop, with an annual output of about 300,000 or 400,000 tons of steel. At present, we are renovating the Ning'er Iron and Steel Plant in Simao, southern Yunnan, with the scale of the Luzhou Iron and Steel Plant.

"The technical experts of the former Xufu Iron and Steel Plant, who developed the new steelmaking method, have all been transferred to the Taiyuan Iron and Steel Plant in Nanhua to continue to engage in related research."

An Yi nodded with satisfaction, and then quipped in Sichuanese: "It's amazing, so much steel comes out, our planes, artillery and warships, I'm afraid we won't be able to use them up, this is a fortune?" ”

There was a hearty laugh in the room.

After leaving the steel plant, Jing Shanpu accompanied An Yi and then visited other factories and enterprises in Luzhou Jiangbei Industrial Zone.

The entire Luzhou Jiangbei Industrial Zone, established in Longmatan on the north bank of the Tuojiang River in Luzhou, covers an area of about 1,000 square kilometers, and the production plant area accounts for about 40% of the total land, of which heavy industries such as steel, metallurgy, machinery, military industry, tractors, and automobiles occupy the majority, in addition to supporting maintenance and auxiliary machine repair, tool factories and other enterprises.

The second land project is storage land, which accounts for almost 20% of the total land, including raw materials, equipment, finished products, semi-finished products and other warehouses, which are lined up one after another.

The third largest land is mainly the power and municipal facilities of the industrial zone, such as oxygen plants, thermal power plants, air compressor stations, oil depots, water plants, sewage treatment plants and various engineering pipelines, as well as the use of industrial "three wastes" to solve production needs, leftover materials and related factories for supporting processing for large factories.

The remaining land use, mainly public service land, includes residential areas, office areas, hospitals, canteens, bathrooms, barber shops, kindergartens, schools and parking lots, etc.

In order to meet the needs of the industrial zone, the industrial zone has a special railway line, roads and railways are directly connected to the shipping terminal, in addition to pipelines for transporting fuel, ropeways for lifting goods, etc. With the outbreak of the war, the entire industrial zone was officially set up as a military unit, and a regiment was stationed to protect, especially when the pure oxygen top blowing converter steelmaking method was discovered, the steel plant became a first-class secret unit, and the garrison was increased to two regiments, one of which was mainly responsible for the security of the steel plant.

Visiting the entire industrial zone and returning to Luzhou city through the Tuojiang Bridge, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

Major General Xu Yichen, director of the Nanhua Branch of the Fourth Department, waited for about half an hour at the Luzhou Municipal Hall Building, and when he saw An Yi, he immediately stepped forward to salute and deliver an urgent report from Nanjing.

An Yi returned to Syria from Nanjing three days ago, and immediately dispatched a special negotiation team to Nanjing under the leadership of Zhou Chongan to urgently negotiate with the Nanjing Nationalist Government represented by Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen.

Chiang Kai-shek was extremely angry at An Yi's farewell, and was keenly aware that An Yi might have sensed his intention to suppress, but for a while he was helpless, in the negotiations, the central government always clung to the bottom line, and was unwilling to back down even a step, and the negotiations reached a stalemate for a while.

In the following days, the central media was full of demons.

The "Central Daily" and the radio stations controlled by the Nanjing government broadcast "letters from the masses" one after another, vigorously criticizing the An Yi clique, which had already occupied South China, Siam, and Central Asia, and should take the initiative to abandon Syria and southern Yunnan in consideration of the overall situation. Someone called on the "Central Daily" for "the people of the whole country to rise up and attack it", and for a while, public opinion was full of people.

An Yi Group is naturally unwilling to be humiliated, and solemnly reprimanded on the influential Syrian Radio, saying that since the Anti-Japanese War, An Jiajun has been rushing to the front line of resistance against Japan. In addition, now that the Anjia Army has contained the main force of the Japanese army in Siberia, and the 30th Group Army under the Anjia Army is also the mainstay of the Anti-Japanese War in North China.

Moreover, the southwest is a barren land, if it were not for the long-term investment of Anyi Group, how could there be today's construction achievements? In terms of infrastructure, Jiangnan and Jiangbei far surpass the southwest, but why is the industrial development in the south of the Yangtze River except for the old Nanchang Industrial Center, where An Yi Group has laid a solid foundation, and the industrial development in the rest of the places is good, doesn't this explain anything?

Subsequently, newspapers such as "Declaration", "Ta Kung Pao", "Republic of China Daily", "Yishi Daily", "Oriental News", "Zilin Xibao" and other newspapers, as well as magazines such as "Oriental Outlook Weekly" and "Liangyou", suddenly appeared in a series of Nanhua recruitment advertisements:

Nanhua will recruit young people (both male and female) aged six to 22 years old from all over the country, Nanhua not only free of tuition and miscellaneous fees, but also responsible for the whole process of transportation to Nanhua to study, and also provide free clothing and three meals, after graduating from high school, you can choose to work in Nanhua. If you are admitted to a university in South China, not only will your accommodation and clothing continue to be free, but you can also apply for a student loan, which will be deducted from your salary after you work.

The South China government, Jiangnan Group's offices across the country and the distribution points of the "Oriental News" can all apply for this enrollment. After the gentry from all over the country obtain the enrollment qualification, they can help the Nanhua Group to enroll, and for each person recruited, they will be rewarded with two yuan of silver.

The enrollment notice of Anyi Group has set off an uproar in China.

From the 18th year of the Republic of China to the 25th year of the Republic of China, except for the areas controlled by the An Yi Group and its allies (the area is basically universal compulsory education), the ratio of college students in China is 1:16,000, the ratio of middle school students is 1:4407, and the ratio of primary school students is 1:60, and only a few people can enjoy education. This time, Nanhua is recruiting students with great fanfare, and there is an extremely bright future after graduation in the future, who is not excited?

Of course, there are also people who suspect that this is a disguised form of human trafficking and child labor recruitment, but Anyi Group said that if there are children enrolled in Nanhua, parents can follow them to Nanhua, and those who have no living expenses can choose to work in factories and enterprises in Nanhua. As soon as such a generous treatment came out, it immediately triggered a huge frenzy of applications, and the public opinion offensive launched by the national government with great difficulty suddenly disappeared.

Seeing Xu Yichen's solemn expression, An Yi took the message and read it carefully, his eyes were like ice: "There is no need to worry about this matter, and now we can't meet the needs of our own expanded production line, let alone supply the domestic market." After so many years, we have been resigned to it, and this time we have to be tough no matter what. I don't understand, where does the central government have the confidence to confront us......"

Xu Yichen said: "I am here specifically for this, Director Zhao heard an unconfirmed news, the party department issued an order to the local governments, requiring the ban on our offices in various places, and at the same time, requiring the garrisons in various places to set up cards to ban our trade routes. ”

An Yi changed color and said angrily: "Rats dare!" Later, I will send a telegram to the whole country in my name, asking the local governments and garrisons to guarantee legal transportation and operation, and that normal trade and trade circulation can promote economic development, and that a closed small-scale peasant economy will only make our products uncompetitive internationally. Whoever dares to break the rules, I will make him understand the consequences of breaking the rules. The fourth hall should also be urgently prepared, say hello to those proud soldiers, leave a line of life, and see each other in the future. ”

It was the first time for Du Yi to see An Yi making such a big fire, his heart sank, he nodded solemnly, and turned to leave.

An Yi asked Shen Feng again: "Is there any war report from Western Siberia?" ”

Shen Fengdao replied: "Li Jinlong's corps is still confronting the Japanese army on the front line of Barabinsk. The Japanese troops in the city of Barabinsk and the Japanese troops in the city of Kuibyshev in the north were at each other's horns and supported each other. Moreover, the Japanese army was more ruthless this time, digging anti-tank trenches up to six meters deep and twenty meters wide, and machine gun positions, minefields, and knife formations were set up at the bottom of the anti-tank trenches, which our sappers could not blast. At the same time, due to the heavy rain and fog that fell in the Siberian region two days ago, our air force could not make sorties, and for the time being there was no way to break through the enemy's positions in depth. ”

An Yi nodded: "Japan is not a soft persimmon in the first place, their reaction is reasonable, now it depends on the speed of Xiao Wu, Hu Jiyang and Yang Jiuxiao's march!" If they were able to suddenly appear on the enemy's back, the Japanese army would be in disarray. ”

Shen Fengdao changed the topic and asked, "Do you live in Luzhou tonight, or do you want to return to Xufu?" ”

An Yi looked at the sunset in the west and waved his hand: "Go back to the West Garden, have a good rest at night, tomorrow we will return to Xinjing, go to the counties and cities around Xinjing to have a look, see the popularization of compulsory education, and then go to the newly built industrial zones in various places to check the construction of the Boy Scout Academy, middle school and university." This time, we can say a big thing, don't let too many people pour in, we can't be satisfied, then we will lose face! ”

Shen Fengdao said with a smile: "It's not a big problem, our talent plan started in 27 years and has been implemented for 12 years now, during which more than 50,000 people have returned from studying. It has been eight years since compulsory education has been universalized in southern Sichuan, and five years have also been devoted to compulsory education in southern Yunnan. There should be no problem for us to use elites who have returned from overseas study to teach graduate students and college students, high school graduates and junior high school students to teach high school students, and teachers and college graduates to teach elementary school students. ”
