The first steel blast furnace was erected, and the celebration work was not enthusiastic, without fanfare, after all, this is the first blast furnace, if this is vigorously promoted, after half a month in the future, a month later, the foundation of the steelmaking furnace will be laid, how to celebrate.

Of course, the first piece of the most heavy industry can not be passed casually, so only the shareholders of the steel plant participated, on the construction site, the other construction teams did not stop, only Qian Hu represented the engineering company, came to participate in the ribbon cutting, dozens of people gathered together, but also lively.

I haven't seen it for a year, the blacksmith master before, now he has become a successful person, he occupies not many shares in the engineering company, the investment in the engineering company, the equipment, including the project, are all from Yang Yuanzhao, as the founder and actual leader of the engineering company, just the dividends and salaries of dry shares, let Qian Hu make a lot of money, last year was almost 50,000 yuan, which is almost equal to the entire property of a small chamber of commerce, in the first 9 months of this year, it is expected to reach 350,000, and it will almost reach 500,000 a year, With the increase in income and status, Qian Hu's footsteps are almost windy.

Seeing Yang Yuanzhao, as usual is very respectful, Qian Hu knows very well that he can have today, and also rely on Yang Yuanzhao to take him to learn electric welding, let him find a group of people to come out, the construction of steel structure, without Yang Yuanzhao, there is no today's Qian Hu, not to mention that compared with before, Yang Yuanzhao's status in Baotou and the surrounding areas has also been greatly improved, unceremoniously said that in Baotou, if Yang Yuanzhao hates a certain person, what awaits him is not alienation, but a catastrophe, Baotou has never been a good place, As the border of the northern country, bordering Mongolia, the swordsman has always had a tradition, although most people put down their swords and guns and devote themselves to the labor of changing their fate, it does not mean that they will not be black.

Greeting each other, the atmosphere was eager, in a harmonious atmosphere, the steelmaking furnace was finally opened, the billowing black smoke rose, a large amount of burning coking coal, in the steel bucket, injected into the steelmaking furnace, the ratio of the first furnace steel, controlled by James himself, when he made a qiē, closed the blast furnace, the black smoke billowed away, and then, after waiting for 100 minutes, the final result of steelmaking, success or unsuccess, was in this short period of time.

For 100 minutes, the workers were nervously monitoring all kinds of numbers, it was not a year ago, the cement plant was put into operation, and there was no way to popularize the most accurate, more than 1000 degrees of accurate thermometer, but some special alloys, or the internal temperature can be given to the table, at least, to reach a certain amplitude, but this process dù, for ordinary metal alloys, is enough.

The development of materials science is gradual, and Yang Yuanzhao has no plan, so he directly makes the kind of super high-temperature resistant alloy or something else in later generations, and the road has to be walked step by step, and the rice must be eaten one bite at a time.

That is, to complete the basic indicators of steelmaking, steelmaking, it seems so difficult, in fact, it is very simple, that is, to use temperature, smelt out the impurities in the iron, by the way, add some trace elements to it, so that the material can meet the design standards, which are all temperature-related things, an accurate temperature measurement, for steelmaking, is extremely important, can be said to be the first of all conditions, this point from the United States Williams real yàn room, has done a lot of research, but also formed part of the results, These conditions are applied to the steel furnace.

"Yuan Zhao, it seems that you have created another miracle!" Hou Jinsheng said with some emotion, this young man in front of him who still looks a little young, has always been a miracle creator, since a year ago, in one fell swoop laid the status quo of the entire Baotou, a border trade port known for agriculture, ordinary fur business, etc., has become now, it is actually a large group based on industry, Yang Yuanzhao's every step is to make people have nothing to say.

150 tons of blast furnace, this before, they didn't dare to think that the blast furnace of Hanyang Iron Works, the largest is only 15 tons, just like that, it is not easy to control, can not be produced at full capacity, suddenly increased by 10 times, and the completion of the lì, about to produce steel, such a furnace, how many, God knows how many steel products can be manufactured.

Everyone else also stepped forward, their hearts were full of longing for this steelmaking furnace, heavy industry investment is huge, but once invested, the industry and output value he brought about the improvement is definitely not light industry can be back, a steel group with an annual output of 4 million tons, even in foreign countries, is a pivotal group, China does not have the hat of heavy industry, from this moment on, you can take off.

James looked at the steelmaking furnace in front of him with full attention, this is not his first trial run, but his heart will be more or less nervous, this almost all use new technology, oxygen blowing roof, the use of some lifting and control equipment, so that the safety performance of the steelmaking furnace has been improved a lot, the environment is also better than that of the United States, I don't know what's going on, he has lived for more than a year, for this Baotou, for this city located in the mainland of the Qing Dynasty, full of curiosity and hope, maybe stay here, Nor is it an unacceptable option.

The clock slowly passed for 100 minutes, as early as more than an hour ago, the molten steel in the steelmaking furnace has been liquefied, through a few controls, pure additives have been added, no one can see the state in the steel furnace, with the help of temperature and some indirect things, it can be judged, the whole steelmaking process is very perfect, and the rail steel is also produced, which is commonly used in the initial trial operation, and the track steel is used in the future, and the ratio is also very simple.

"Tapping!" Under James's order, a steelworker with a loud voice, shouted such a trumpet very rhythmically, he seemed to have a little Sichuan accent, it sounded strange and comfortable, one by one the machine qì opened, the molten steel sprayed out from the special pipe, the red molten steel, just flowing in the workshop, so that the temperature of the entire workshop, in an instant, rose more than ten degrees, Baotou in autumn, although it is not a cold day, Baiyun Obo is a wasteland, the temperature has already dropped to below 10 degrees, But this boiling heat made most people sweat profusely.

This is a critical moment, but also the most test of the steelmaking plant technology moment, must be in a short time, let the molten steel, into the specific mold, otherwise, once condensation adhesion, the light will block the steelmaking port, the heavy will make the blast furnace irreparable losses, whether the former or the latter, can be called an accident.

To be able to participate in this trial run, of course, the most well-trained workers, they all obey the command, in each part of the perfect cooperation together, strength, unity, in the steel flowers, burst out, it took almost a few minutes, through guò remote control zhì, the molten steel into a specific area, and hot rolling also followed, so that the irregular molten steel, or the molten steel that has not yet fully solidified, under the force, pressed into different shapes, the most, is the rail, 12 meters long heavy rail, The weight per meter is more than 37 kilograms, which is even in the world, it is a rare heavy rail, the formula is selected from the United States' most outstanding heavy rail formula, which has added some of Yang Yuanzhao's research, in terms of hardness, load-bearing capacity and wear resistance, to improve a level.

150 tons of furnace at one time, converted into 12 meters of rail, is more than 400, which will waste a part, which is the inevitable loss after processing, finally, when half an hour later, the hot-rolled rail steel is transported out of this workshop, do the post-processing, the whole steelmaking process is over.

In fact, according to the rules, 100 minutes of steelmaking time, when the molten steel is out of the cage, it will be processed quickly, and the material will be filled quickly after cooling, and the result of this training is about 20 minutes to 30 minutes, and the steel furnace will run again, and it will continue all day.

Fortunately, this is a trial run, there is the first furnace, and the cleaning is carried out in accordance with the regulations, but the filling materials are not necessary, James and other researchers will conduct a series of analysis and summary of the number of each item, and finally, record.

Steelmaking is a process of production, but also a process of research, from the first furnace of steel, to the continuous operation, all need a series of research, maybe the formula, maybe the production method, will make some minor adjustments, experience in such continuous practice, slowly accumulated, these are not taught.

After about 4 hours, after complete treatment, especially after surface polishing, the finished steel rails were placed in front of all the shareholders, swarthy and calm with the smell of fireworks that had not yet dissipated.

The shareholders looked at the rails, no one said much, everyone looked at James, a foreigner, in more than a year, also learned part of the Chinese, stepped forward to knock the test, nodded with satisfaction, and said: "Very good, first-class product!" ”

First-class products, that means, from the process of steelmaking, to the final product, and even the subsequent processing, are very perfect, the rail can even be sold directly, although you are not proficient in the railway, but also know that the railway is a huge investment, the benefits of extraordinary industry, all along, China's railways, most of the imported foreign rails, now, finally have the ability to produce rails.

In the next half a month, at the speed of 5 furnaces of steel per day, a series of production and real production of cold-rolled steel, hot-rolled steel, rebar, steel bar, etc., of course, the most is still track steel, unlike other steel, track steel is almost immediately needed, these real products are successful, Baiyun Obo's steel, under the premise that everyone does not know, slowly started, from a barren land, developed into the future, A massive steel behemoth.
