Yang Xiaotao returned to the rolling mill purely to work overtime with a group of old guys, after all, people are insisting on their posts at such an old age, and he is a young man, so there is no reason to leave early.

To say the position.

Hehe.

They are all shining for the construction of the revolution, so what is the difference between high and low?

If there really is, in the eyes of this group of masters, it is also the level of technology and ability.

Of course, Yang Xiaotao is at the top of the rolling mill in this regard.

Put away the car, the children's affairs have been arranged, and it depends on tomorrow's exam.

I believe that the candidates who have been devastated by 'brushing questions' will have a stronger psychological quality.

Came to the warehouse, sure enough, it was still busy inside, and after getting off work in the sun at night, it was finally a little cooler, and two steam fans appeared at the door at some point, turning vigorously, and the wind brought into the warehouse.

Yang Xiaotao had just walked into the warehouse, and before he was ready to start working, a figure walked out of it.

"Lao Chen, why are you here?"

Yang Xiaotao saw that it was Chen Gong and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"Let's go out and talk."

Chen Gong's face was solemn, and Yang Xiaotao chuckled.

The two came to the door of the warehouse, Chen Gong took out a cigarette and handed it to Yang Xiaotao, the two lit it in the dark night, and the spark flashed with the smoke.

"Something's wrong, I'll tell you."

Chen Gong spoke, and Yang Xiaotao listened carefully.

"The data and materials required for several important components you submitted are not qualified in China."

"What material?"

"That's what you said, the tungsten alloy steel."

"Tungsten alloy? Isn't there one in the country? ”

Chen Gong nodded, he has been inquiring about the news in the past two days, and several large steel mills have called to inquire, even the most famous Anhai steel mill.

The other party's answer was that they were still working on it.

In other words, there is no tungsten alloy that Yang Xiaotao needs in China.

Yang Xiaotao took a deep puff of cigarette and mentally thought about countermeasures.

The reason why tungsten alloy is chosen is to consider the high hardness and good wear resistance of this metal, of course, Yang Xiaotao can also choose the general quenched steel instead, but as the first machine tool based on the 'mother machine', Yang Xiaotao does not want to fool, let alone leave regrets in the end.

"Can't you think of a way?"

Chen Gong was silent for a long time before nodding, "Tomorrow, I will talk to Lao Yang and let him react with his superiors." ”

"That's the only way to do it now, it's really not good, let's see if there are any abroad."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, Yang Xiaotao was also helpless.

He didn't know much about steelmaking.

As for the domestic steelmaking plant, don't look at the rolling mill where he is located, he often deals with Gangte, but when it comes to the production process, he is not as good as the workers in the steel mill.

"Let's do it first."

After Chen Gong finished speaking, he walked towards the office, and he wanted to find someone to ask if there was any.

Yang Xiaotao returned to the warehouse, Chang Mingjie on the side came over with the drawings, and stepped forward to ask after seeing Yang Xiaotao.

"Team leader, Deputy Director Chen talked about it just now."

"You see, if these parts are changed to the parameters, the existing steel in our factory should be able to be used."

I heard that Yang Xiaotao took the design drawing, which is an important cutting part and stamping part of the machine tool.

"Chang Gong, if you use our ordinary steel, do you think it can be useful for some alloy processing?"

"A knife can't cut through meat, it's not as useful as a stick."

"Iron still needs to be hard."

Chang Mingjie nodded helplessly when he heard this, he just gave his opinion, so that this machine tool could be successfully completed, and it could be regarded as handing over the task.

But I don't want Yang Xiaotao to still insist on high-specification design, although this makes the final machine tool, but

As an engineer, he has also traveled on business trips and understands the situation in China.

The kind of tungsten alloy that Yang Xiaotao needs, not to mention China, is not much in neighboring countries.

The alliance must have, but with the current international situation, it is strange that the alliance is willing to give it.

"Then these parts can only be delayed."

Chang Mingjie sighed helplessly, Yang Xiaotao had no other way, he didn't want to settle, so he could only wait.

"Tell Guanyu and them, when they encounter such parts, they will keep them first, and wait for the steel to be made."

"I know!"

Back at the station, Yang Xiaotao looked at the semi-finished products made in the morning and calmed down to prepare for the work.

But there is always a shackle in my heart, and I can't meditate.

Liu Daming on the side saw Yang Xiaotao's strange appearance, walked to the side, took the tool from Yang Xiaotao's hand, and then began to work.

Yang Xiaotao did not refuse, but just stood aside and watched Liu Daming work.

It wasn't until eleven o'clock in the middle of the night that the people in the warehouse began to leave manually, and Zhang Guanyu and the four of them took the people from the technical department to put away the qualified parts, and Wang Hao led people to guard.

Yang Xiaotao and Liu Daming walked out together.

"I've heard that steel doesn't work, right?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

"Well, that's what happens in our country."

Liu Daming walked with his hands behind his back, "The rolling mill in our factory was made in Germany back then, and it was for you to be assessed at that time." ”

"On that machine, the missing bolts had to be replaced because the steel was not up to standard."

"This kind of thing, all these years."

"It seems that we will make a new one and replace it, but in fact, in terms of materials, it is different from what others have made, and the difference is getting old."

Liu Daming sighed all the way, the two went out of the gate, and Yang Xiaotao remembered that the car was still in the carport.

Seeing Liu Daming walking, Yang Xiaotao didn't have the heart to go back to catch the car, so he just followed.

"What's the situation with our steel mill?"

"You're talking about SJS?"

Yang Xiaotao nodded.

It is also the main plant that supplies steel to rolling mills.

"I don't know the specifics, but a few years ago, they blew the converter on the side, and the steel they made was good, and then I heard that they were going to make a furnace that blows oxygen, and the quality of the ingots made was much better, and I don't know if it's true or not."

Liu Daming muttered, Yang Xiaotao was also at a loss, he didn't know more about steelmaking and what oxygen blowing furnace than Liu Daming.

The two walked to the fork in the road, and the dim light bulbs on the side of the road were shining yellow, like a pillar of light in the dark night, shining vertically on the ground.

Liu Daming stopped, hammered his back twice, turned to Yang Xiaotao and said, "I know you may not like to hear this, but there are some things that you have to learn to compromise and learn to wait." ”

"What we did this time was a codename task, and if we couldn't come up with a plausible 'machine tool' in the end, this task would be considered a failure."

"If that's the case, what do you want our rolling mill to do in the future?"

After Liu Daming finished speaking, he saw Yang Xiaotao pondering there, so he turned around and walked into the darkness.

Call~

Exhaling softly, Yang Xiaotao lowered his head, put his hands in his pockets, and slowly walked towards the courtyard.

When I got home, I first took a basin of water, washed it from head to toe, and finally took a shower, and then lay down in the house and prepared to sleep.

Xiaowei flew out from the head of the bed, saw Yang Xiaotao's absent-minded appearance, flew to Yang Xiaotao's chest, and danced the 'elf dance'.

"Xiaowei, how nice it would be if you were a golden elf."

Huh?

"Well, it's fine, I mean the wood elves are pretty good, of course it would be better if there was another golden elf."

Huh?

"I mean, be your companion and maybe start a family. Anyway, what will Jin Hemu give birth to? Water sprites? Or something else? ”

Woohoo!

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, sleep, sleep."

Yang Xiaotao cleanly put down superfluous thoughts and prepared to sleep.

It's just that his mind is full of things about steel, as well as what Chang Mingjie and Liu Daming said, maybe Chen Gong is looking for him to mean the same.

'Do you really want to fool around once?' ’

The next day, after Yang Xiaotao got up, he picked two tomatoes from the yard for breakfast, leaving Xiaowei to look after the yard and walked out of the front door.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui got up early, today the school organized the exam, and the candidates from several elementary schools around came, as a teacher of Hongxing Primary School, he naturally took on the responsibility of invigilating the exam.

Moreover, he is leading the graduating class this year, and the students' test scores and promotion rates are directly linked to his year-end evaluation benefits, which can only be paid attention to.

I was about to go out in the car, and then I saw Yang Xiaotao coming out of the hanging flower door.

"Xiao Tao, it's early."

Yan Fugui said hello, Yang Xiaotao heard the voice and nodded at Yan Fugui.

"Morning, Uncle Yan."

"Xiaotao, didn't ride today?"

"No, walk and exercise."

"Heck, young people are good. By the way, I watched it yesterday, and the children in Yangjiazhuang are all good, all of them are polite, and they are good students. ”

"And I heard that our district recruits a lot of people in junior high school this year, and I estimate that there will be a few more who will be admitted to junior high school this year."

"Last year, the whole school took 36 junior high school exams, and of course, the school in Xicheng was the best, and only 8 were admitted."

The two walked to the mouth of the alley together, Yan Fugui was like a chatterbox, pouring out everything he knew and heard, Yang Xiaotao just listened and didn't say much.

As for the children's exams, he thinks it's better not to create pressure, do what needs to be done, and then it's up to the children themselves.

After the two separated, Yang Xiaotao sped up slightly, and then came to the rolling mill, waiting for news from Chen Gong.

In the office, Lou Xiao'e also heard about the problems encountered, but she also knew nine out of ten about steel, and she didn't know anything.

I can only hope that Deputy Director Chen can find suitable materials to help tide over the difficulties.

In the morning, Yang Xiaotao dealt with the accumulated affairs, and after dinner, he came to the warehouse to help with the work.

Now, the groups are going well, except for the problems that can't be solved and need to wait, everything else is okay.

It's just that as the parts get harder, the time and effort will be more and more.

The fastest progress is led by Chen Bin's bed team, and the bed has been preliminarily completed.

The bed of the machine tool is mainly composed of steel plates.

In order to make this bed, the rolling mill took out a lot of steel, Yang Xiaotao tried it, fully met the design requirements, can provide enough stability for the machine tool, to ensure the accuracy of the machine tool.

The other three groups have encountered problems to some extent, and the process is not fast.

In the middle of the afternoon, Chen Gong came to the warehouse in frustration, and Yang Xiaotao knew when he saw him like this that the matter had not been resolved.

Sure enough, Chen Gong asked someone again, not to mention those big factories, even small factories, no one heard of them.

Yang Xiaotao didn't say much, just waited for Yang Youning's news.

In the evening, Yang Xiaotao was called to the office by Yang Youning.

"The news from Lao Liu that there are not many domestic reserves in this regard, and he is asking his superiors, but don't report too much hope."

Yang Youning was also embarrassed, he originally wanted to do it with pride, but he didn't want to be stumped by the most basic materials.

"We don't use it much, but it's crucial."

"I know that, but you have to be prepared."

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao was silent.

With helplessness and remorse on his face.

Who would have thought that steel would become the most critical and shortest board in the project.
