Chapter 418: Putting the cart before the horse
Soon Li Zhao came to Chief Engineer An, he was busy with the design of the converter with people, and Li Zhao's biggest job here was to help review the drawings. This converter is 100 tons, so at least 10% scrap will be added to the actual production, in this case, a furnace is at least 110 tons. The feeding can only account for seventy percent of the volume of the converter, so the volume of this converter has reached more than 20 cubic meters.
Generally speaking, it is not very big, it is just the volume of a small house, plus the lining and the furnace shell is more than 30 cubic meters, so in general, the design is not difficult, but a few gas nozzles are more troublesome, but now they are all solved, after the design is completed, it is estimated that the General Union of Trade Unions will consider directly going to the 200-ton level.
These jobs are currently Li Zhao's main work in the rolling mill, of course, if he has time, Li Zhao will also go to various workshops to see the production situation. However, now the rolling mill has made great progress, and it is not as difficult as it was at the beginning, just like the initial transportation of coal and iron ore, which was basically manual, but now the vehicles have basically become the standard, although they are all tricycles, but this is also very good, with dumping.
Soon after the picture review, Li Zhao and Chief Engineer An returned to the office, and as soon as the tea was brewed, Director Yang came over, and Li Zhao invited Director Yang to sit down and drink tea. At this time, Chief Engineer An said: "Is it okay to hand over the converter manufacturing to the material factory this time?" The material factory now has you and the research institute, I think it should be better than the military factory, and the best motor is also produced by the material factory, how about it? This converter is important to all of us. ”
Chief Engineer Li Zhaotingan said this, thought for a while, and said: "It is better to hand it over to the military factory, the material factory is now short of manpower, the biggest job over there is to provide sufficient machine tools, and now there is a military vehicle project underway, it is estimated that there will be no manpower to build this converter in a short time, it is better to hand it over to the military factory." As for the key ones, such as motors, etc., can be provided by the material factory, what do you think? ”
The material factory is now just an emerging factory, there is no background, that is, in terms of low-level technicians, the material factory is completely green, and now there is a need to provide a large number of machine tools, and the basic senior technicians have no free time. As a new worker who has only been studying for a few months, they are now just getting started, such as cutting parts or something, and the rest of the time is to continue to be familiar with the machine tool and learn operation knowledge or something.
Chief Engineer An saw Li Zhao say this and had to agree, the reason why he wanted to hand over the manufacturing work to the material factory was also because of the relationship between the two sides, there was money to be made, of course, it was handed over to the familiar factory, you must know that the rolling mill could not only build a converter, with the scale of the rolling mill, it would be necessary to build the converter in the next few years.
Speaking of this matter, as Li Zhao expected, when it came to larger tonnage converters, Li Zhao of course supported them, and then said: "Larger scales definitely need to be built, we can consider designing a two-hundred-ton level next, we need to improve the efficiency of our steel production as soon as possible, the current small furnaces will definitely be eliminated in the future, as for the blast furnace, we can also build two larger ones next." Li Zhao has long had a plan to build a 5,000-square-meter blast furnace, and more converters will be needed at that time, but at that time, Li Zhao would let Chief Engineer An have more than 200 tons of converters, and now this kind of 100-ton level is still too small, but this kind of equipment is not built overnight, just like Li Zhao's hydraulic press, it is not directly 80,000 tons. Unless there is a mature drawing foundation, it is better to develop step by step, otherwise it is easy to have problems.
At present, the steelmaking capacity of the rolling mill is still too weak, and it will be around increasing the scale of steelmaking for a long time in the future, after all, the demand for steel is very huge. Taking the material factory as an example, the monthly demand is already more than 400,000 tons, so the rolling mill can use as much output as it wants.
Talking about the matter of changing the furnace, Director Yang asked at this time: "Isn't the military vehicle ready to be assembled next Monday?" Which kind of civilian vehicles are ready to be produced first? Can you make a car directly? You also know that our factory is going to be upgraded now, and I want to make more achievements so that I can feel a little more stable, and I don't know the specific situation now. ”
Li Zhao saw that Director Yang said this, but also helpless, how can this be built so fast, besides, since the superior has revealed the news, it means that the superior's personnel arrangement is basically the same, and now is the time for approval and transfer, it can be said that the personnel arrangement of the rolling mill is a foregone conclusion, so Director Yang's arrangement is meaningless.
After thinking about it, Li Zhao said: "Now, the superior should have formulated a plan, and it is estimated that it is now in the approval stage, so basically the personnel of our factory is a foregone conclusion, but I don't know who can be promoted." As for the trial production of the car, I estimate that it will take a while, and now the trial production of the military vehicle is underway, and we need to build at least five of them first, and then carry out various tests before we can finalize the production line. ”
When Director Yang heard this, he said, "Didn't we test our tricycle?" Isn't it selling well now? Why do you still have to test the military vehicle, we are clear about your strength, and there must be no problem. You don't want to be lazy, do you? Whether our factory can complete the vehicle manufacturing as soon as possible depends on you. ”
Li Zhao explained at this time: "This must need to be tested, and there are still many environments that need to be tested, such as temperature, from high to low, and all kinds of terrain must also be carried out, otherwise the car will drop the chain directly on the battlefield, and we will be sinners." The tricycle is different, the speed is very slow, and the place where it is used is mainly in the mine or something, so if something goes wrong, it is just a matter of repairing it, and it is completely different from the battlefield. ”
Director Yang asked at this time: "When will the trial production of civilian vehicles begin, I am also afraid of accidents." ”
Li Zhao thought for a while and said, "At least it's impossible in August, and it's going to be September at the earliest." However, in September, we have more things, the converter designed by the chief engineer is estimated to be completed in September, we estimate that we need to start the construction of the converter, now our steel production capacity is seriously insufficient, after next year our blast furnace can produce five or six million tons of molten iron per year, and we now have only a lot of steel production capacity? ”
At this time, Director Yang was also entangled and said, "Can't we do it together?" If our rolling mill can produce cars, then our rolling mill will be completely different, and in the minds of our superiors, our status and now are completely different things. "In this era, there are very few companies that can produce automobiles, so the status of the factories that make cars can virtually rise a lot, and they are the envy of many factories. So there is also a situation in this era, that is, if which factory can produce cars, then their drawings need to be sent non-stop, almost all machinery factories, want to come in and get a piece of the pie, the current director Yang is obviously the same, he is a little stunned for the car, obviously forgot his main business. Li Zhao also suddenly thought of this, Director Yang should have wanted to rely on cars to improve his status at this time.
Now Director Yang is thinking about being able to come up with a project that no one else can do, so that he can provide him with enough results, which is very beneficial to his promotion, especially at this time, Director Yang's heart should be bottomless, and he will think so. Li Zhao looked at Chief Engineer An, and felt that Director Yang's concentration was too much worse than that of Chief Engineer An, and Director Yang directly put the cart before the horse.
Li Zhao thought for a while and said: "Factory director, thinking like this is actually putting the cart before the horse, the root of our rolling mill is still steelmaking, and what you want to engage in is just a side business, just like the bicycle electrical appliances we are engaged in, those are only proposed because you want to recruit more female workers, if there is no export order, I am unlikely to do it." ”
Li Zhao looked at the uncertain face of Factory Director Yang, and then said: "Although the superiors are very appreciative of our various side jobs, if we drop the chain in steelmaking, I estimate that the leadership of the factory can be dismissed more than half of them on the spot." ”
Li Zhao's words are definitely not alarmist, this is definitely the most real situation at the moment, and the ability to make money may be very important in the future, but not necessarily now, so Li Zhao continued: "Factory director, let's just say that the current material factory, why should it be built next to us?" Don't you wish we could provide enough raw materials? In this way, the material plant does not need to mobilize raw materials from other places, which greatly reduces the pressure on transportation and reduces costs. ”
Director Yang was still unimpressed at this time, and said: "But steelmaking is not profitable, and this achievement is not good." Our factory can now have hundreds of millions of profits every month, but it is a side business, and steelmaking can make a few dollars? ”
Li Zhao said helplessly: "Director of the factory, do you think it is more important to make a little money or is it more important for the country's industrial recovery?" The construction of blast furnace and converter in our rolling mill is related to the industrial development of the whole country. Only the great industrial development of the whole country can enhance the country's strength. ”
At this time, Chief Engineer An also said: "Yes, the foothold of our factory is still steel, if our blast furnace construction and converter construction can not keep up with the development needs, no matter how much money we make, we will definitely be punished." ”
