The next day.

After Li Guoqiang signed in normally, he took Zhou Meiling to work in the rolling mill.

Everything was normal during work, but when it was time to get off work, Director Liu was very anxious and rushed over to stop Li Guoqiang.

"What's wrong, Director Liu?" Li Guoqiang asked curiously.

"You may have to work overtime tonight, there is something going on in the iron furnace factory, and you need to go with Master Mao!" Director Liu said anxiously.

Working overtime in this era is a very honorable thing.

It's not that anyone who wants to work overtime just wants to work overtime, they need to be capable, and they need to be approved by leaders.

If a leader like this takes the initiative to ask you to work overtime, it can reflect your value and contribution.

Basically, no one will refuse.

"Good!"

Li Guoqiang naturally agreed decisively,

"Dinner? I'll let my daughter-in-law not have to be mine at night! Li Guoqiang said half-jokingly.

"That's a sure bag! It's impossible for you to go hungry and work. Lord Liu responded.

Then Li Guoqiang found Zhou Meiling and asked her not to cook her own meals at night, and he wanted to go to the iron furnace factory with Director Liu!

Zhou Meiling also agreed understandingly.

"Then you have to be safe!" Zhou Meiling explained.

Then Li Guoqiang followed Director Liu or Master Mao to the gate of the factory, only to see that the two cars had already been parked.

There are only two cars in the rolling mill.

One belongs to Director Yang and one belongs to the chairman.

Basically, when Chairman Lou Zhenhua is not in use, the trolley is for the rolling mill.

Although it is said to be the chairman's, the car is still hung in the name of the rolling mill.

This time, two small cars were directly used, which shows that things are indeed not simple.

When passing by the first car, Li Guoqiang saw that there were already several workers inside.

Among them, there are Yi Zhonghai, bangs, and two other people wearing electrician clothes.

Subsequently, Li Guoqiang was very good, Director Liu and Master Mao, an eighth-level welder, got into the first car.

"Let's go!"

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Director Liu gave an order, and the two trolleys headed towards the iron furnace factory.

This iron furnace factory is also a subordinate branch of the rolling mill.

One of the most important tasks is to forge steel for use in rolling mills.

"Director Liu, what's wrong?" Li Guoqiang asked curiously.

If it weren't for a big deal, it is estimated that there would not be so many technicians.

Most of them are the elite of each group.

"That's the case, the above temporarily added tasks, the amount of work is large, the leader instructed the iron furnace factory to add a few more steel-making equipment, including the drawings of the converter steel-making machine, many workers in the iron furnace factory can't understand, so let us go to study and study together."

Director Liu spoke.

He actually knew in his heart that they would only go through the motions at most.

After all, assembling a machine they've never touched before can be tricky.

But Director Liu didn't know that Li Guoqiang still had some research on these things, and he was very interested.

When several people around heard Director Liu's words, they felt that this trip was probably in vain.

After about 20 minutes, the car finally came to a slow stop.

If Li Guoqiang wasn't young, he felt like he was going to be turned upside down by the car.

It can be seen that the car seat at this time is not so comfortable.

Of course, part of the reason for this is that the road is not very smooth.

There are many potholes on the road.

When everyone arrived at the iron furnace factory, Director Feng was already waiting for Director Liu's people at the gate of the factory.

Then the technicians of the rolling mill got off the car one by one.

"This is Master Yi!"

"This is Master Liu!"

"This is Master Wang!"

“……”

Everyone entered the iron furnace factory, and Director Liu introduced it to Director Feng.

"This is Master Li!"

When Li Guoqiang was introduced, Director Feng's face obviously changed slightly.

Maybe he couldn't believe that Li Guoqiang was so young that he would be invited to study new technologies.

Seeing that he is only in his twenties, his ability should not be too prominent, right?

After all, none of these masters in front of them are sixty or seventy years old.

This is called the humerus of the factory.

"Don't look at Master Li's youth, his ability is not ambiguous at all!" Director Liu also saw the puzzled look in Director Feng's eyes, and immediately explained.

"Of course, the people introduced by Director Liu are definitely not simple!" Director Feng said with a smile, although he still didn't believe it in his heart.

After all, Li Guoqiang is so young, no matter how powerful he is, he can't be much better.

This time, the rolling mill invited a total of eight masters, including two fitters, one forger, two electricians, two welders, and an engineer named Luo Hui.

It can be said that it has been a big move.

Director Feng also knew that the situation was urgent, so he didn't procrastinate, and walked directly to the inside of the iron furnace factory with everyone.

As a group of people go deeper.

Slowly, I also felt a burst of heat coming.

In this winter, most of the workers inside the iron furnace factory worked only in thin protective clothing.

Because some of the steel-making machines in this iron furnace factory are incredibly high, and the high temperature of thousands of degrees is constantly smelting steel.

With the leadership of Director Feng, the group came to the outside of a steelmaking furnace that had not yet been assembled.

"That's it, this is the converter steelmaking machine that was transported from above, and when we were halfway through the assembly, we found some problems, and we couldn't understand how to study it."

"If the converter steelmaking machine can be assembled and put into use, the efficiency of open-hearth steelmaking can be increased several times, and the target can be completed before the Chinese New Year."

Director Feng directly stated their problems. Hopefully, these elite people from the rolling mill will be able to solve their problems.

"Here are the drawings, you can take a look at them first!"

As he spoke, Director Feng spread out the drawings and let everyone see if they could solve it.

When I saw the drawings, whether it was Yi Zhonghai or Bang Haizhong, I all moved forward vigorously, wanting to see if it was so difficult.

If any of them can solve the problem, they don't have to think about it to know, and the benefits are absolutely indispensable.

Even if it's not beneficial, it's good to earn a good reputation.

Li Guoqiang saw that the people in front of him were full, so he didn't go to make a fuss.

If they can solve it, of course it would be better.

So Liguo went directly to look at this huge machine.

If he remembers correctly, it seems that in 1958, at the National Conference of Advanced Producers' Representatives, the top leaders and other comrades hosted a banquet for some representatives of advanced producers and first-class metallurgical engineers, and discussed the difference between converter and open-hearth steelmaking with many old experts.

After a meeting, everyone was amazed. Converter steelmaking not only consumes less, but also has a high refining speed. It can be refined more quintessential and efficient.

So I started researching.

It was not until 1962 that it was put into service.

It's exactly the sixties now.

After entering the internal space of the converter, Li Guoqiang found that the internal space of the converter was extremely spacious, and it was estimated that it could refine more than 100 tons of steel.

Just when Li Guoqiang was looking here, everyone around the drawings looked at the drawings and fell into deep thought. Obviously, this drawing stopped a lot of people.
