"Molten iron"

The sound fell, the operator of the big crane came to the hot metal outlet of the tower, and the next second, the gate opened, and a stream of dark red molten iron gushed out and quickly poured into the big crane.

Soon, the gate closed again.

The large crane is pulled by power to the top of the small boiler.

"Let's go!"

An Zhongsheng's voice came, and the molten iron flowed into the boiler with a loud sound.

Workers standing on the elevated highway in the distance kept looking at the situation inside the boiler with binoculars.

"Everything works."

It didn't take long for the news to arrive.

"Turn off the stove top."

The workers next to him quickly controlled a piece of refractory brick top to fall from above and cover the stove.

"The roof is closed."

The top of the stove was covered, and the red flame that was still rising for a moment was covered.

"The furnace door is closed."

The side door that originally flowed out on one side was also blocked with refractory bricks.

"Burning group!"

After An Zhongsheng heard this, he gave another order, and the workers in charge of heating on the side pushed the cart and poured the coal under the furnace, and the flames in the furnace, which was already in a burning state, instantly increased and the air waves rolled.

After a while, the worker in charge turned back and reported, "Temperature 1800!" ”

"Open the damper. Airy! ”

"Yes!"

Whew

The worker in charge of the air duct next to him quickly activated the button, and the furnace air with high temperature quickly poured into the boiler and blended with the molten iron.

After doing all this, everyone stared at the small boiler, for fear that the lining would be damaged or other problems.

Fortunately, as the temperature increased, there were no problems with the small boiler.

"Go ahead, pay attention to the wind pressure, and keep the temperature!"

"The fuel team is ready to be replaced!"

An Zhongsheng glanced at the scene and commanded calmly.

After doing all this, I stepped aside to look at the data.

Next, it's a matter of waiting.

It takes at least five or six hours for such a pot of steel to come out.

And in this process, they must always pay attention to the condition of the small boiler and not have any problems.

Caojiagou, on the big valley field.

A group of villagers stood around, constantly looking at the group standing in the middle.

These twenty or so people, not many, but also many, both men and women, are the ones who came to help with the work.

Most of the people in the crowd had eagerness written on their faces, and their eyes kept scanning the village chief in front of them, praying that their names would be read.

Yesterday, just as they were thinking about when they would leave the village and return to the city, the village chief did the same, held a meeting on the threshing floor, read out the decision of the superiors in public, and immediately rewarded the six people who performed very well.

And now, the meeting is going to be held again, does it mean that there are people who can leave?

The hearts of the people were on fire.

Xu Damao and Qin Jingru stood together, both of them looking nervous.

"Didn't you say that you have a good relationship with the village chief, why didn't you have the two of us yesterday?"

Qin Jingru stood aside and said unhappily, Xu Damao was also entangled.

Previously, he did walk with the village chief and the leaders of the village, and he was very active, and he could always talk to the same pot.

But who would have thought that there was no him among the people in the first batch, which really made him flash.

The boasted Haikou slapped his face.

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law, this village chief also has to avoid suspicion, we are close on weekdays, if we are selected in the first batch, it will inevitably attract gossip."

"Besides, one day earlier and one day later, it makes no difference."

Xu Damao gave himself a reason, Qin Jingru looked at him with disdain, "I don't want to stay here all night, my body is sour, and I don't dare to take a shower." ”

Qin Jingru whispered, Xu Damao smiled stupidly, his eyes stayed on Qin Jingru, thinking of the scene of taking a bath in his mind, and his heart was hot.

Qin Jingru saw that Xu Damao didn't speak, turned his head to look, and when he saw his stupid look, he immediately knew the flowery intestines in his heart, and reached out and twisted Xu Damao's waist, and Xu Damao grinned in pain.

This scene was seen by Jia Zhang's family in the back.

However, now her mood is not here at all, and she doesn't even bother to scold in her heart, so that she still thinks about it in her mouth.

"Lao Jia, bless bless, bless."

"There is also Dongxu, bless my mother to be able to go back, and burn money for you when the time comes."

In the past few months, Jia Zhang's family felt as if her whole body was falling apart, and she ate more soil in this field than she ate salt.

The whole person is gray every day, he can't eat and sleep well, the old woman in the house is not good at stubble, and no one is used to her stinky problem, which can be said to be a bumpy here.

Yesterday when I learned that I could leave here, I have been looking forward to it, looking forward to it.

Now, at last, the opportunity has come.

At this moment, Jia Zhang's expression was extremely pious.

Around her, a few people couldn't understand Jia Zhang's broken mouth, but they could guess what it meant, it was nothing more than a blessing to leave here.

The same is true of their minds.

Of course, there are also people who look calm and do not have the slightest hint of hope.

This person is different from other people, because he is Yi Zhonghai.

People who are destined to be reformed in this village.

So whether he can leave or not, he doesn't care.

"Comrades, with the approval of the superiors, the progressive personnel who are active and enterprising during the assistance period are commended"

As the village chief's voice fell, the named people came out one after another and came to the front, and as the people finished reading one by one, Xu Damao and the others below became more and more embarrassed.

"Qin Jingru."

Suddenly, the village chief shouted Qin Jingru's name, and Qin Jingru, who was reaching out to pinch Xu Damao's waist, suddenly shook his spirit, then let go of his hand, and ran out of the crowd without paying attention to Xu Damao.

"Here, here."

Qin Jingru came to the front and stood with seven or eight people, this time he turned around and squeezed his eyes with Xu Damao, but Xu Damao below didn't bother to pay attention to him, and listened with his ears pricked up.

"Alright, these comrades."

Just when Xu Damao still wanted to hear his name, the village chief had already closed his notebook and began to make a concluding speech, and even gave each person a towel, and then asked a few people to pack up their things and prepare for the return trip.

When the dozen or so people still standing below heard this, they immediately understood that the matter of going back early this time had nothing to do with them.

Xu Damao's eyes almost burst into flames, his daughter-in-law went back, why couldn't he go back?

Qin Jingru kept shaking the towel and approached Xu Damao, "Damao, I'm going back, haha." ”

Xu Damao stretched his face, and he was in a panic, and he was about to go to the village chief to theorize.

Qin Jingru pursed her lips and wanted to say a few more words, but Xu Damao had already run away.

At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation behind him.

'Come, someone's fainted.' ’

Qin Jingru didn't care about Xu Damao, and stepped forward to take a closer look, wasn't it Jia Zhang's who was lying on the ground.

On the other side, Xu Damao found the village chief to tell both anger and sadness, but when the village chief and weekdays were interacting, they judged the two of them, and in the face of Xu Damao, he directly took out a notebook from his pocket and opened it for Xu Damao to see.

This is all about the performance of these people in these days, and if they perform well every day, they will be given a hook, and those who are cheating and slippery will be given a circle.

And on his Xu Damao's line, the number of circles is more than the hook, and now, Xu Damao is completely speechless.

It turns out that people see everything in their eyes, and they still think about setting relationships and taking a shortcut.

As a result, people understand it in their hearts.

Immediately, Xu Damao returned to his residence in despair, and at this time, Qin Jingru had already packed his things and was waiting to say goodbye to Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, it's okay, anyway, it's the end of the month in a few days, and I'll be able to go back soon."

"Didn't you say it's okay a few days early or a few days late, don't worry, I'll go back and pack up my house first, and wait for you to come back."

Qin Jingru smiled and picked up the baggage, and was about to go out.

At this time, Xu Damao said quietly, "When you go home, do you have money to eat?" ”

In an instant, Qin Jingru's footsteps stopped in mid-air.

steel mill

There are more and more people around, and those who don't have tasks come to check on the situation.

This way, starting at nine o'clock in the morning, has been seven hours now.

This time, for an open-hearth, is considered normal.

But on this small boiler, there is a little more time.

Guan Zhiyong took a group of factory leaders and stayed here after eating.

As for An Zhongsheng and Li Junming, they directly nibbled on two Erhe noodles here, and never left a single step.

In front, the workers of the combustion group have been in three rounds, the temperature in the furnace has been maintained, and the molten iron has been smelted in the boiler for most of the day, and it is time for it to be baked.

But An Zhongsheng still did not give instructions, and he was still discussing something with Li Junming and the others.

"Director, the water in this furnace is all good, why don't you open the furnace yet."

The people around him asked, Guan Zhiyong didn't know, but he still had to support An Zhongsheng's work, "Don't ask more, just watch." ”

The people around him didn't dare to say anything more, just stood beside the factory director and continued to watch.

"Mr. An, the temperature in the furnace has been maintained for most of the day, and the verification of the furnace wall has been completed, I think it's okay."

"Mr. An, the molten steel in the furnace has also been smelted."

"Teacher, all the data on our side have also been collected."

Zhang Hongxian, Li Lei and Li Junming came to An Zhongsheng one after another to report the situation.

An Zhongsheng nodded when he heard this, "Okay, then open the furnace." ”

As he spoke, he walked up to Guan Zhiyong, "Factory director, it's time to open the furnace." ”

"Okay? What about the experimental data? ”

"At this stage, there is no obvious problem with this boiler, and the specific situation will be checked after cooling."

Guan Zhiyong nodded when he heard this, at least it's no problem now.

"Then turn on the furnace."

With Guan Zhiyong's order, not far away, a group of workers wearing gray hard hats, holding large iron drills, wearing protective glasses in front, and white towels tied around their necks, immediately came to the stove, and then shouted hey, the big iron chisel kept poking the slime, and when the closed furnace fire, the furnace fire burst out, and the surrounding workers immediately dispersed.

The whole person looked black, but his expression was excited.

Because every time you do this, it means that the steelmaking is over, and the results are revealed.

And the next thing is to see if the converter can work.

"Turn on the stove top!"

With a click, the lid on the top of the stove was opened, and everyone saw that the air above the stove had become distorted.

"The side door opens."

An Zhongsheng's voice was nervous, and his palms were sweating.

Click

The side door opened, revealing the blackened surface of the refractory bricks.

"The steel barrel is in place!"

"Converter dumping."

With the final order issued, the operator on the side pressed the button, and the lower part of the converter was slowly pulled by the steel rope and tilted to the side.

"Come out, be careful."

With a long roar from the old worker, the furnace water flowed out of the outlet, and as the molten liquid was poured into the steel drum, the surrounding temperature also rose sharply.

The surrounding workers watched from a distance, for fear of an accident.

After all the molten steel in the boiler has been poured and the steel drum is removed, the next step is to go to other workshops for processing or molding.

Then the converter returned to the distance, and the still reddening mouth resembled a crater.

Guan Zhiyong only got closer at this time and carefully observed the small boiler.

Although the temperature was still hot, the eyes of several people showed excitement.

"An, Angong, is this considered a success?"

Guan Zhiyong took a deep breath, making his real heart hot.

"It worked."

An Zhongsheng replied calmly, but his trembling hands showed the excitement in his heart at the moment.

"The converter transformation was successful."

Zhang Hongxian and Li Lei around him were all excited.

Guan Zhiyong smiled and shook hands with An Zhongsheng.

"Then next, just wait for Mr. Yang to come back."
