The news of the opening of the Shiqiuling Tunnel spread all over Taipei like a spring breeze, which greatly encouraged people's enthusiasm; The unimpeded flow of logistics has also greatly accelerated the pace of construction of the first line of warmth and tide.

The tide stop is the water back to the foot, this is because the Keelung River is affected by the tide of the sea, the tide rises to this, so it is called "water back to the foot", after the Ming army liberated Taipei, the water back to the foot is still changed to the name of the later generations "Xizhi".

Taipei's Xizhi District Government is located in Shuihuijiao Old Street, which is Xizhi Old Street.

More than 1,000 meters west of Xizhi Old Street is Zhangshuwan, which was originally a barren beach on the north bank of the Keelung River, covering an area of nearly 100 hectares, where the crossing team is building the first steel complex in China.

The grassy barren beach had long since been bulldozed by bulldozers, and a high fence enclosed it. The north gate of the wall faces the rushing Keelung River, and the south gate faces the Taiji Highway.

The planned Taiji railway is on the side of the Taiji Highway, and a railway branch line will also go deep into the factory area, but all this is still under construction, but two cement wharves have been built along the Keelung River.

The construction of Taipei Iron and Steel Group is divided into three phases.

The first phase of the project is mainly for the construction of open-hearth furnaces and rolling equipment, including the installation of a 10-ton twin open-hearth furnace, ore sintering furnace and supporting forging machine... ⊥. Iron and steel processing equipment such as rolling mills and cold drawing machines, as well as corresponding living and office facilities.

Concentrators, blast furnaces, converters, electric furnaces, 16,000kw generator sets and other projects have been put into the second and third phases of construction.

The civil works of the Iron and Steel Industrial Zone are under the responsibility of the Infrastructure Corps, the installation and commissioning of equipment is responsible for the installation and commissioning of the equipment, the technical personnel of Taipei Iron and Steel Group are responsible for the whole process of supervision, and the human and material resources executive committee guarantees the whole process.

Topographic mapping and planning of the plant, as well as the architectural design of the production facilities of the steel plant, were completed as early as the beginning of the crossing. The core components of open-hearth furnaces, ore sintering furnaces, overhead cranes and other equipment were brought from the 21st century, and other parts were processed and produced in this time and space.

Nearly 2,000 builders worked day and night at the steel plant construction site, first completing the clearing and leveling of the land; Then build a wharf, connect the road with water and electricity, and complete the construction of living facilities such as dormitories, large canteens, gas workshops, and gas cold storage for storing food; Then began the construction of the No. 1 open-hearth workshop, sewage treatment station, warehouse, learning center, and office area, and changed the appearance of Zhangshuwan day by day with their industrious hands.

In the early morning, there is still a layer of smoke floating on the surface of the Keelung River in the Zhangshuwan section, and the loud wake-up call has sounded in the living area of Taigang.

Taigang living area is located in the east of the factory, where there are more than 10 dormitory buildings, as well as large canteens, gas cold storage, water stations, savings houses, shops and other logistics support units.

Hear "Tick ~ Tick ~ Tick ~ Drop!" More than a dozen Taigang dormitory buildings woke up from their slumber at once.

In a dormitory, Bai Jingang, who was sleeping on the top bunk, immediately lifted the quilt, turned over and sat up, "Hurry up, everyone, hurry up." ”

There are bunk beds in the dormitory, and ten apprentices of Taigang live in it for an apprentice class, and Bai Jingang is the squad leader of this apprentice class.

The dormitory suddenly boiled, and the apprentices jumped out of bed, rushed to get dressed, shoeed, and hated, and then rushed out of the room.

In just three or four minutes, nearly 2,000 young people rushed out of the dormitory buildings and lined up in a neat line to run out of the living quarters. They walked along the wide avenue by the fence and ran circles around the Taiwan Iron and Steel Plant to exercise.

There are more than 1,000 people in the ranks, wearing green training uniforms with cap badges and collars, and they are cadres and soldiers of the infrastructure corps. More than 800 others wore blue overalls, and they were apprentices of Taiwan Iron and Steel.

Half of the apprentices of the steel group came from the Dunan Island Barracks, and the other half came from the Shanghai Huafu Yangxing Technical School. The military barracks and technical schools are all under militarized management, and they have long developed good military habits.

These 800 apprentices all knew a few words before, attended night school for more than three months in technical schools and cadet barracks, learned Chinese, arithmetic, natural common sense and other subjects, and after assessment, they reached the junior primary level.

They came to Taiwan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., in addition to participating in the construction of the steel plant and cooperating with the installation of machinery and equipment; At the same time, at the same time, he also focused on learning the cultural knowledge of high schools and steelmaking in the Taishan Iron and Steel Learning Center.

The Learning Center of Iron and Steel Group is also one of the key departments of Taiwan Iron and Steel, which is mainly taught by Huang Jiuyuan, Ge Tingwei, Shao Xiaoyun, He Ying and others.

Huang Jiuyuan is the general manager of Taisteel Group, Ge Tingwei is the group's deputy general manager and director of the converter workshop, He Ying is the group's deputy general manager and director of Xizhi Machinery Factory, and Shao Xiaoyun is the group's deputy general manager and director of the rolling workshop.

Huang Jiuyuan, Pan Dafu and other leaders of the Taipei Iron and Steel and Infrastructure Corps also lined up and followed behind the morning exercise army. They trotted slowly, more than half a lap, and the first line had circled behind them.

"Hard-working, tenacious, hard-working, and enterprising, building the Corps, always striving to be the first."

"Study hard, master skills, work hard, and serve the country with steel."

……

Thunderous slogans came and went.

Watching the team run past one by one, Huang Jiuyuan stopped, he took a few breaths, and said with a smile, "It's still your engineering spirit, wearing a green uniform, and the young men are particularly powerful in running." ”

Pan Dafu, the captain of the infrastructure construction force, laughed, "You are the big brother of the workers, the young men are full of spirit, and the blue overalls are worn on their bodies, and they definitely have the style of the leading class!" ”

Pandav is a native of Modu, a construction engineer, he is a statist, and he likes to read monarchism.

"Is the working class the leading class?" Ge Tingwei behind him asked sharply, "Are the capitalists all going to be defeated?" ”

Dizzy! This grumbling basket followed.

Pandav hastened to explain, "Joke teller, joke teller!" ”

Huang Jiuyuan and others also helped to persuade.

"Mr. Ge, if you go to the executive committee to sue me, I will be unjustly killed!" Pandav snorted, and then said seriously, "Last night, there was news from Nuan Nuan that the Lion Ball Ridge Tunnel was opened!" ”

"They're so fast!" Huang Jiuyuan turned his head to look at Ge Tingwei, He Ying, Shao Xiaoyun and others, "In the past two days, there have been frequent good news on various fronts, and we in Taiwan Iron and Steel cannot fall behind." ”

"It's nothing!" He Ying looked high-spirited, "For forty days, we worked hard day and night, and the first phase of the project left some finishing work in the open-hearth workshop. ”

The technical strength of Taigang Machinery Factory is still Xiao Bailang's family background cultivated in Shanghai, and the two technical levels are good, and the others are basically two knives, and the installation of all machinery and equipment is almost entirely concentrated on He Ying and a few of them.

He Ying is very proud, the first phase of the project has cost him too much effort, and now it is finally completed. He smiled at Ge Tingwei, "If Mr. Ge catches up in the morning, maybe he can report the good news to the executive committee this afternoon." ”

"It's useless!" Ge Tingwei blurted out, "Those scraps want steel, not steel, even if the second and third phases are completed, they don't have good words." ”

"If the hardware facilities can't be built, when will Ma Yue produce steel!" Huang Jiuyuan said angrily.

Ge Tingwei has always been a complaining basket, and he is not very convinced by Huang Jiuyuan, so Huang Jiuyuan generally can't control it, this time he attacked the executive committee, and Huang Jiuyuan couldn't help but stop it.

"The construction of hardware facilities has been fast enough, my rolling equipment has been installed, and Mr. Ge's open-hearth furnace will be completed, but there are no operators." Shao Xiaoyun already had an idea in his heart, "According to me, these 800 people should be assigned now and enter the pre-job training." ”

"Lao Shao is right!"

Although Ge Tingwei was full of complaining and strange words, he worked very hard. He patted his head, "The open hearth can be built today, and then the oven will be baked, and the trial of steel will start in less than a month, and I don't have a single steelmaker here!" ”

"The preparation for the trial run must be accelerated!"

Huang Jiuyuan immediately made a decision, "I'll give them a quiz tonight, and tomorrow we will start job training." ”

At the end of the run, the apprentices received word that they would be assessed in the evening, and that they would be assigned positions based on their test results.

When the apprentices first entered the factory, the booklet "Steelmaking Knowledge" was handed out one by one. Although for more than a month, the instructors have also explained to them over and over again, urging them to study hard, but many people have not been impressed.

As soon as the team in front of the dormitory building was disbanded, Zhang Songbao couldn't help but whisper to Bai Jingang, "The content of this booklet is too difficult, I haven't memorized it!" ”

Zhang Songbao was originally an apprentice plasterer in Suzhou, but he was exiled to Shanghai due to the war, and in order to fill his stomach, he had to be recruited to the technical school of Huafu Foreign Bank.

"Hurry back and wash up, hurry up and memorize! The exam should be in time! Bai Jingang hurriedly comforted Zhang Songbao.

Bai Jingang was originally the son of a blacksmith, and like Zhang Songbao, he was exiled to Shanghai due to the war. Bai Jingang usually likes to learn and is diligent in thinking, and is the best among these apprentices.

"Forget it!" Zhang Songbao waved his hand, "I was born as a plasterer, and I did a good job in baking, anyway, I went to the furnace repair team." ”

When Ge Tingwei heard this, he walked over and scolded fiercely, "Whether you do well in the exam is a matter of ability, and whether you study seriously or not is a matter of attitude!" ”

The apprentices stood up and saluted, "Instructor! ”

The steel mill implemented a semi-military management mechanism, and these apprentices have always respected Ming cadres such as Huang Jiuyuan, Ge Tingwei, and Shao Xiaoyun as their instructors.

The people in front of the building were almost scattered, and Bai Jingang saw that Ge Tingwei was still in front of the building and hadn't left, so he took out a booklet from his pocket and walked over to ask for advice.

The booklet "Steelmaking Knowledge" is the size of a pocket book, and White King Kong always carries it with him.

"Instructor, it is said here, 'Converter steelmaking is a good method of steelmaking, better than open-hearth.' Why did the first phase of our steel group start open-hearth steelmaking, instead of using converter steelmaking first? ”

Ge Tingwei didn't think about it and blurted out, "This is for efficiency, for the sake of steeling as soon as possible." ”

Regarding this issue, Ge Tingwei and Huang Jiuyuan had already theorized with many traversers many times.

The steel mill first chose to use the open-hearth furnace, which was a helpless move.

To measure the level of industrialization of a country, the first thing is to look at the country's steel production. One of the most important conditions for the development of Taiwan's industry is to produce steel as soon as possible.

However, there is no iron ore in Taiwan, and the crossing team needs to import a large number of iron ingots and iron ore from abroad to meet the needs of the steel plant.

The construction period of the blast furnace is the longest. Blast furnace ironmaking requires a large supply of iron ore. If iron ore cannot be supplied in time, no matter how big the fire in the blast furnace is, it will only waste energy in the end. Not to mention destroying the continuous operation of the equipment, it will also damage the equipment.

The converter requires a precise proportion of molten iron, which must be matched by a blast furnace or an electric furnace, and the operation control of the converter is very demanding, the lining strength of the converter is higher, and the construction period of the converter is also long.

The electric furnace needs a huge amount of power guarantee, and the planned 5-ton electric furnace needs a 16,000kw self-provided power station in addition to solving the power compensation system.

The open-hearth furnace is much simpler, although the fuel consumption of the open-hearth is too serious, and the amount of exhaust gas is also large, which is not a problem at all for the crossing team, and the twin-bed open-hearth furnace selected by the Planning Commission is relatively advanced, with the core components, the foundation of the 10-ton double-bed open-hearth furnace only takes one month
