Section 2 Steel Mills and Accelerants
Half a month ago, something went wrong in the special steel plant. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
What's the situation? It's a long story. On the morning of the first day of the new year, the factory suddenly received a batch of returns, and several supervisors in the factory were anxious and sweaty, and they didn't know what to do!
The amount of goods was huge, but the buyer had no idea of theorizing with them at all, so he transported the goods to the factory gate and threw them away.
Their reasoning was that the quality of the products produced by the steel mill was too poor to meet their original requirements.
The parameters of the production line are drawn up by the boss himself, and the technical workers of the factory are all old employees, who have been down-to-earth and have never been careless or lazy.
What's the problem?
Lugu is just a furnace worker, barely squeezed into the first-class skilled workers, and he is not very clear about the specific reasons. However, when producing this batch of steel, he raised an objection to his superiors once.
The product is too high! The factory is a blast furnace, the scale is small, not to mention, the furnace temperature is often not up, the operability is very poor, usually used to make some stainless steel materials OK, to produce that batch of high-standard steel, I am afraid that it is a bit of a duck on the shelf.
The production supervisor didn't listen at the time, and waved him to stop meddling. said that all this was planned by the boss himself, and it was not their turn to bear the burden if something happened.
Lu Gu was still a little uneasy, and wanted to talk to the boss, so he ran to the office several times, but the building was empty and the door was closed. I heard that the boss who has always been amorous has been absent for a few days and nights.
It is estimated that eighty percent of them have a private meeting with a little lover.
Well, now retribution is on the door!
Lu Gu's heart is bright, the number of this batch of steel is not small, the cost of raw materials has reached millions of yuan, including other expenses, the factory is simply unable to afford it.
In addition, the return of goods has a great impact on the credibility of the steel factory, and in a word, it is tantamount to a bolt from the blue.
If this matter is not resolved, it will only be a matter of closing the door. For this, most of the employees of the steel factory feel that there is little expectation, and there is no passion for work, and some of the employees with active minds have made a resignation report early, asked for leave and did not come to work, and went to the labor market all day long, which is considered to be a two-handed preparation.
The building is about to fall! Lu Gu felt helpless in his heart that his first job was about to be aborted.
Things didn't turn out at all – Lan Ming, the chief engineer, boss and business manager of the steel mill, finally arrived at the factory on Monday morning.
After all, it is his own old background, how can he give up easily! In the past few days, Lanming has been running around in and out of the province, racking his brains to figure out a way. It is also thanks to him, a graduate of polymer materials science of Tsinghua University, that he really thought of a solution.
What Lu Gu never expected was that this method was obviously not the right way!
On this morning, Lan Ming took a holiday for the few employees on duty, but called Lu Gu to the office.
After some conversation, Lugu understood what the boss meant.
It turns out to be a return furnace, in other words, the raw steel is fed into the blast furnace again and further smelted to remove impurities and meet the standard!
This is a solution, but even if you want to operate, you have to borrow a furnace from another factory, and the one in the factory obviously can't. First of all, temperature control cannot be solved.
Lan Ming rejected Lu Gu's suggestion on the spot, and still decided to use the blast furnace of the factory.
"Mr. Lan, then I can't do it!" Lu Gu refused on the spot, "The performance of our furnace is too poor, and the temperature difference is too large in an instant, and it may explode!"
As soon as it exploded, his life was gone. Although he is not highly educated, he still has a basic professional mind.
"Brother Lu, I can't help it!" Lan Ming said with a wry smile, "Send it to another factory to return to the furnace - this matter spreads, even if this batch of steel is finished, how can I still have the face to be in the industry in this factory in the future, and in the end it is only a way to close the door." Brother Lu, you will also become a member of the unemployed from now on, handing out cover letters everywhere....... By the way, if I'm not mistaken, Lugu hasn't been working here for more than a year, and according to the rules, half of his salary for the first three months is put in the company as a deposit, and you don't want it anymore?"
Lan Ming was kind and inducing, and said a lot of good things, and in the end, Lu Gu considered his job, and he was reluctant to lose a month's salary for a month and a half, so he reluctantly agreed.
So, an engineer and a furnace worker closed the door and got to work.
The steps of returning to the furnace are also simple, which is nothing more than strengthening the temperature control of the steelmaking furnace, improving the quenching efficiency, and smelting all the unqualified steel again until it meets the buyer's requirements.
According to the process, Lugu starts the blast furnace of the steel plant, fills it with raw materials, auxiliary materials, and then fuel.
"Oh, you use this!" Lan Ming handed over a bottle of solvent the size of a thermos flask.
"This is?" the words on the bottle with the seal immediately attracted Lugu's attention. "Oh my God, it's actually an accelerant for aerospace science and technology?"
Lu Gu glanced at the end, and the instructions with Chinese and English logos, which were densely covered with bright red state secret words, made him chuckle in his heart.
"This is a high-energy accelerant, which is dedicated to the aerospace department - this small bottle is worth a lot of money!" Lan Ming said with a smile.
"I almost sacrificed all my hue to get this thing. ”
Lugu scoffed a little. If sacrificing hue works, why don't you just go and get the buyer?
But does this thing really work?
"With it, the temperature control problem can be solved, this is what that old classmate from my space department said!" Lan Ming saw Lu Gu's worries and patiently explained.
"Drop 5 grams first, and then every 10 seconds, drop 5 grams!" Lan Zong gritted his teeth and said. As the two of them watched, 5 grams of crystalline liquid dripped into the blazing furnace.
In less than a moment, the blast furnace seemed to suck a lot of hemp, and a large raging fire actually appeared out of thin air and spread rapidly.
"Sure enough, he didn't lie to me!" Mr. Lan's heart suddenly calmed down. Just kidding, this is a product that has been developed by the national R&D department for many years, and if there is no immediate effect, domestic aerospace science and technology will not be so good.
Lugu stared at the blast furnace instrument, his mind was highly concentrated, and his eyes did not blink. It is undeniable that this kind of accelerant can really improve the combustion efficiency, but no one knows how controllable this kind of thing is.
"It's dropping 5 grams!" Lan Ming commanded.
"Roger!"
As time passes, the pressure in the blast furnace rises at a much faster rate than ever before.
"Mr. Lan, the pressure in the furnace is 3000 Pa, and the furnace temperature is 750 °,.... It's time to go back to the furnace!" Lugu reminded.
"Great!" At this time, Lan Ming's face finally showed a smile, the method suggested by the old classmate was really feasible, and the factory was saved!
He was too early to rejoice!
In just a few breaths, Lu Gu was shocked to find that the pressure gauge of the blast furnace suddenly jumped straight up like a rocket.
"It's not good, Mr. Lan, the pressure is over 4000 Pa....."
"Mr. Lan, 5,000 Pa, it's already on the cordon....."
"Mr. Lan, 7150 Pa... It's still going up, no, it's going to explode if it goes on like this...."
At this time, Lu Gu's face was covered with sweat, and his whole body was already tense.
His boss, Mr. Lan, kept his eyes on the blast furnace and remained motionless and silent.
"What a calm person!" Lu Gu was so impressed by this scene, the boss is really a person who does big things, and he is not afraid of danger.
However, is he really not afraid of death!
Fortunately, after a few minutes, the pressure in the blast furnace dropped. After all, there were no accidents, and the fuel and accelerant worked together to play a continuous and stable role in the furnace.
At the same time, steel remelting is also carried out one by one.
"Mr. Lan, the steel has begun to be quenched, and the current furnace temperature is 800 °C!" Lu Gu reported while wiping his sweat. Quenching is a process of removing impurities, not that the higher the temperature, the better, but that it needs to be adjusted to the most appropriate temperature at the most appropriate time, so that all unwanted impurities can be removed.
"Well, after 3 minutes, continue to add accelerant and keep the furnace temperature!" Lan Ming stared at the instrument with a cautious face, cutting the railroad to the point.
Lugu Yingnuo turned on the timer and took care of everything, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief. When he stood up, he realized that his legs were a little weak because of the fright just now.
"It was really dangerous just now!" Lu Gu slightly cleaned up his mood and secretly despised himself, "If only I had half of Mr. Lan's psychological quality, Mr. Lan really has a way, the products of aerospace science and technology can't be seen by ordinary people!"
However, I am afraid that the origin of this thing will not see the light, and it is conceivable that this time Lan is out of the way.
Next, there is a secondary quenching. This time, no accelerant is used, but oxygen is filled, and the furnace temperature is briefly raised for secondary smelting, and the process is very short, only half a minute, just to oxidize off some of the impurities with a lighter texture, which is generally not dangerous.
"Heat up!" Mr. Lan instructed.
"Good!" Lugu manipulated the instrument and injected alkaline oxygen.
"Peng!" As a large blue flame instantly flew up, the indicator in the furnace instantly climbed a large section.
“800°... 850°... 1000°... 1300°..”
"Alright, stop... Stop!" Lan Ming was startled, this rising speed is inevitably too fast, the temperature limit of the blast furnace is only 1550, if it exceeds 1600, it has reached the condition for the formation of molten iron, the furnace itself is iron, and it must be melted 100%.
“1500°... Don't move!" Lu Gu looked at the instrument, this temperature happened to be the perfect temperature for the second quenching, or in a few seconds, the impurities in those steel that were difficult to gnaw would be automatically resolved under this condition.
"It's perfect!" Lan Ming showed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and after returning to the furnace once, the specifications of this batch of steel instantly rose several times, even a grade higher than the buyer's original request.
"Hmph, who dares to say that my factory is going to collapse now!" Lan Ming's heart was full of pride. This is also a big problem that he solved.
Half an hour later, the steel was cleared by Luke.
Lan Ming checked the parameters and was overjoyed. The quenching effect was excellent, which completely exceeded the buyer's requirements. This can be done.
"Look, it's as dangerous as you say!" Lan Ming smug his shoulders and put on the boss's style again.
"Lu Gu, you work harder next, deal with all this batch of steel, and when the matter is completed, I will return the wages to you a lot.... In addition, I will add you another 5,000.Oh no, 10,000 yuan bonus..."
Lan Ming changed his usual stinginess, and at this time he was particularly arrogant and generous.
"What, 10,000 yuan!"
Lu Gu suddenly took a breath of cool air.
His monthly income is only 2,800, 10,000 yuan, which is enough to cover his salary for three and a half months. Coupled with his original accumulated one-and-a-half-month salary, which is also more than 4,000, he is about to be wrapped in a blink of an eye.
"Don't worry, boss, I will finish it as soon as possible!" he quickly patted his chest and agreed.
The matter has been resolved, and Lan Ming has no intention of continuing to stay in the factory.
In the provincial capital, there is a gentle and lovely little lover waiting for him!
"Hehe, it seems that the equipment of our factory can still stand the test!" Mr. Lan, who was in a very comfortable mood, patted Lu Gu on the shoulder and left lightly.
"By the way, Lugu, remember to destroy those accelerants when they run out!" As he reached the door, he suddenly thought of another important matter, and shouted an order.
"Got it, you can rest assured!" Lu Gu nodded and looked like a dog.
Of course, it's all about money.
"Furnace opening-feeding-baking ......"
This process is repeated over and over again, and a large number of steel is returned to the furnace for reprocessing. Lu Gu was in a very high mood at the moment, and he could even be called scrappy.
Well, Mr. Lan still has two bottles of accelerant, which is almost enough, if only more could be produced.....
"And a bonus of 10,000 yuan. Thinking of money, Lu Gu couldn't help but be secretly excited, after working for more than half a year, his monthly salary was only a few hundred yuan in addition to rent, food and accommodation and pocket money, and it was useless to save it, so he simply didn't do anything, didn't leave a penny, spent it all, and became a complete moonlight clan.
It's almost the New Year, and with more than 10,000 yuan, it's time to buy something decent when you go home. Maybe his father, when he is happy, will strongly support him to buy a house and encourage him to have a girlfriend.
Hey, my parents have worked hard all their lives, and that's all they have saved, how can I be so shameless and use that crooked brain.
Lugu was thinking about his thoughts while working, and his initial caution gradually disappeared, and he became more aggressive in doing things.
There is a saying that danger always appears inadvertently.
This is where Lugu's tragedy lies. Because he was absent-minded, he was not careful, and the accelerant added to the furnace suddenly increased by 2 grams.
As soon as 7 grams of accelerant entered the furnace, the fire suddenly surged.
"It shouldn't be a big deal!" Lugu noticed this, but didn't take it to heart, looking at the furnace temperature and pressure gauge, it was still the same operation. Looking at the pile of raw materials, there was not much steel left to be processed, and he secretly calculated in his heart, well, it should be all done in a few more hours.
That's how the 10,000 yuan prize came in.
He had a feeling of unreality in his heart, and it was too easy to get his hands on the prize......
Unexpectedly, his fluttering feeling didn't last long, and there was a strange muffled sound of "dong dong" and "dong dong" in the blast furnace, Lu Gu was stunned at first, and then, the whole brain exploded violently, broken, finished, finished.
But anyone in a steel mill is the last thing they want to hear in their lives. In the world of steelmaking, this sound is also known as the voice of the devil. The voice of the devil is rare in a thousand years, and once it comes, it is bad news.
The reason for this is that the temperature in the furnace fluctuates too much, and the pressure coefficient is disordered, which exceeds the limit that the blast furnace can bear, which is a signal that the furnace is about to be fried.
What should I do, what should I do? Lu Gu's heart was cold, and a reminder from his professor in college suddenly appeared in his mind: "If you hear this kind of voice in the future, you must make a decision immediately and do one thing at once-that is, run, run as far as you can!"
He made an analogy at the time, it was like a car 100 meters away speeding up at 180 mph and crashing into you, you ran as hard as you could, you ran fast, maybe there was a glimmer of life. Because the radiation range of the smallest blast furnace explosion is also greater than 100 meters.
I'm sorry Mr. Lan, although money is good, it's still my life.
Luke didn't say a word, he pulled his legs and ran out. As long as you run out of the factory and out of the gate, you will be safe.
He exerted his strength to feed, and his two legs, which were usually soft and lying on his stomach, swung at high speed, and a few breaths flew out more than ten meters away.
Time, Lao Tzu wants time. Just give me a few more seconds and I'll be alive. He prayed in his heart as he ran wildly. It's a pity that the layout of the small factory workshop is messy, not to mention the vertical and horizontal machines, the lines are also densely covered in the east and west, and it is very inconvenient for people to pass in ordinary times, where does he run fast!
One more second of delay will be one more danger!
"Drop~!Drop~!" This is the countdown timer of life, Lu Gu sweated on the door of his brain, and he only hated his parents for missing two legs, making him run too slowly.
"Whew, whew!" saw that the gate was in front of me.
He was overjoyed, and at the same time tried to restrain himself from looking back.
God, give me some more time!
The moment his right hand touched the doorknob, Lugu suddenly felt a chill in the back of his head. His heart trembled.
Hey, don't you let me go!
"Bang!" After a loud noise in his ears, Lu Gu instinctively turned his head to take a look, but unfortunately before he could turn around, the whole person suddenly lightened and quickly lost consciousness.
It seems that there is no escape!
Liucheng evening news report: "At 9:27 a.m. on July 18, 2015, an explosion occurred in the blast furnace of a special steel factory in Liucheng Yangang Development Zone. The reporter interviewed one of the employees and learned that the steel mill was on the verge of closure due to the recent business situation and was on the verge of closure, and their wages had not been received for two months. As for the specific cause of the accident, the relevant departments are still under further investigation....."
"Damn, it's all my life that I dare to love, Lan Ming, your hand is really high. The soul of Lu Gu swayed in the air, scolding
