Chapter 328 The birth of the steel industry!

Each hammer fell heavily with the force of 80 yuan. The heavy hammer collided violently with the flaming round ingot, hitting sparks. The low and penetrating sound echoed in the factory building, condensing and winding in the depths of everyone's soul, for a long time Can not disperse.

Everyone at the scene showed an excited and excited expression, looking at the eyes of the round steel ingot, showing a fascinated obsession.

This is the most primitive beauty, the purest beauty, the beauty of steel.

The fiery heat cannot stop the enthusiasm of the workers and soldiers. If possible, they would like to be able to do it in person. Some people have even thought of using the pork belly from the wild boar to experience the taste of high-temperature roasting and the fusion of protein and water.

Such a picture, just thinking about it, feels beautiful.

Ten minutes later, with the final hammer falling, a series of final test results were converted into written form and sent to the main control room. Not long after, the chief engineer Yu Hua and the engineering team leader Yang Zhi appeared and walked out of the main control room. Come to the middle of the factory.

At this time, Yu Hua was holding a paper report. When more than [-] workers and soldiers saw this, they immediately gathered around and stared at the paper report. It was not difficult to guess that the content of the report would be true. The meaning determines the final result of this experiment.

The scene suddenly quieted down, everyone held their breaths, looked solemn, and knew the importance of this moment. No matter how happy or excited everyone was before, it was all subjective will.

In science, we must pay attention to objectivity and follow the final test results.

"Now, I will read to you the results of the first smelting test of the oxygen top-blown converter test furnace. The test product has been confirmed by physical testing methods to be iron-carbon alloy, that is, steel, which is a medium carbon steel. The carbon content is expected to be about 0.55%, and the blowing time is 16 minutes, the oxygen consumption is 48 cubic meters, the total smelting time is 33 minutes, and the weight of the finished product is 2 tons in a single smelting. The actual smelting time and finished product weight both meet the test requirements.”

The words were solemn and loud, and they spread like a tide. Yu Hua faced everyone and read out the main data and final results of the first smelting test: "The first smelting test passed! Everyone, I think we can celebrate for a while."

The smelting time and finished products meet the test requirements, and the first smelting test passed!

Now, it's finally time to celebrate, with a short time to celebrate the success of the first smelting test, because this is a historic moment.

boom!
With the announcement of the final results of the test, which symbolizes authoritative significance, after a brief silence in the factory building, it fell into a sensation like an erupting volcano, and the fluctuating atmosphere was pushed to a climax.

This time, everyone no longer had any scruples in their hearts, and their emotions rushed out like a dyke.

It worked!
A truly authoritative success!

At this moment, some fighters danced with joy, some fighters burst into tears, and some workers and fighters were so excited that they couldn't speak, hugging each other tightly to celebrate this moment, and then, the news that the first smelting test passed was like a hurricane. , spread from the workshop to the entire Sancha Bay, and the production teams and workers of each unit fell into a state of extreme excitement and joy.

It's not that they can't control their emotions, but that this moment is too important!
The significance of the success of the first smelting test is not only the success of the test furnace, but also the birth of the iron and steel industry in the base area.

You must know that this is a modern iron and steel industry in the true sense. Although it is extremely small in scale, it has extremely high technical content. Its advanced level and comprehensive performance deserve to be ranked first in the world, even if it is even the largest and most advanced Hanyang Iron Works in China. , are not comparable.

Hanyang Iron Works wears the hat of the largest steel mill in the Republic of China, but it can only produce ordinary carbon steel, and due to the backward smelting technology, the steel it produces is basically low-carbon steel, with poor comprehensive performance, and can only be used for the production of mortars. Guns and ammunition, such as various high-quality alloy steels based on medium carbon steel frame improvements, such as gun steels that emphasize high strength and hardness, and gun barrel steels that require strict corrosion resistance, cannot be produced.

As for steel types such as tool steel, don't even think about it.

Hanyang Iron Works adopts the contemporary blast furnace + open hearth steelmaking mode, and the steel smelted has a very high content of sulfur and phosphorus.

The steel produced by the oxygen blown furnace can not only smelt medium carbon steel and high carbon steel, but also smelt various special steel grades, alloy steel, spring steel, armor steel, tool steel, etc. Production.

This is the gold content of the oxygen blown furnace!

With this steel sword that is one era ahead of the world, both the comprehensive strength of the base area and the war potential of the troops will be improved by orders of magnitude.

Only in terms of economic benefits, the steel output of the test furnace alone can generate millions of silver dollars in the first year and recover all investment costs. In the future, with the continuous investment of funds, the economic benefits will increase in multiples. If there is no external interference , reaching a terrifying level within five years.

From a military point of view, the benefits to military production are even more immeasurable. One furnace of molten steel weighs two tons and can produce more than 300 six-zero mortar barrel blanks and more than 1000 medium-sized gun barrel blanks.

What is this concept?
According to the calculation of the highest designed daily output of 96 tons per day, all of the insanity will be put into the production of weapons. The 1 mortar tube blanks can produce more than 6 pieces, and the official barrel blanks can produce more than [-] pieces.

Of course, this is only the ideal state. In fact, it is impossible to achieve such a high output, but even if it is reduced by one tenth, it is terrifying enough.

It can be said that the limited production of weapons and ammunition in the base area has completely ended since Yu Hua officially announced the success of the first smelting test.

As long as there is no enemy damage, the Yulin Iron and Steel Plant will continue to produce high-quality steel and supply the arsenal to produce various weapons and ammunition.

"Deputy Team Leader Yu, I'm stupid, I can't speak, thank you, thank you very much." Standing beside Yang Zhi, his eyes were rosy, sparkling, and he was already tearful. He wiped the wet corners of his eyes with his hands and turned around. Body, facing Yu Hua, raised his hand to salute: "All of them, salute and thank Comrade Chief Engineer of Oxygen Blow Furnace!"

Loud and powerful voice, spread throughout the factory.

"Comrade Chief Engineer, thank you!" In a blink of an eye, the workers and soldiers standing around stood upright, with their backs as straight as a benchmark, standing in the most standard military posture, raising their right hand neatly and putting their fingers together, congratulations to Yu Hua The most standard and noble etiquette.

Looking around, there are military salutes everywhere, and respect is everywhere.

There is no doubt that without Yu Hua, the founder, there would be no current test furnace, and no future steel industry.

Although the soldiers did not have the right to know Yu Hua's name and identity information, this in no way prevented their respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Looking at the picture in front of him, Yu Hua was stunned for a moment, his heart was slightly touched, and a comfortable smile appeared on his face. He is not a vain person, but who has no vanity?

"This is what I should do. Well, the short celebration is over. Comrade Yang, please report the good news to the headquarters. The pouring production team will demould as soon as possible, the furnace front team will remove the slag, and the first batch of round ingots will be processed according to the production process. All production teams returned to their posts and started 24-hour trial production, let us create a 24-hour steel production record in an industrial desert!" Yu Hua took a deep breath, facing the crowd, said slowly, arranged all matters in an orderly manner, and then announced loudly Entered the 24-hour trial production stage.

The first smelting test was successful, and the molten iron in the first torpedo tank car was still waiting for him. Strike while the iron is hot, the goal, the 24-hour steel production record!
"Yes!" Yang Zhi responded loudly and left quickly.

At the same time, the dispatchers in the factory and the personnel in various positions cleaned up their emotions and returned to their posts. With a strong heart, they began to prepare for the 24-hour trial production.

One after another, the instructions are constantly being sent out. The blast furnace is making every effort to produce high-quality low-phosphorus and low-sulfur molten iron. The ten-ton crane runs reciprocatingly to hoist various raw materials. Ninety fiery red round ingots are continuously demolded and sent to the warehouse. Efficient and fast, the entire Yulin Iron and Steel Plant operates with the highest human efficiency.

In this era, everyone has faith, everyone has the spirit of hard work and dedication.

It was the best of times and the worst of times.

……

When the pilot furnace of Yulin Iron and Steel Plant entered the trial production stage, the news of the first successful smelting test was also sent to Yancheng via telegram.

Military Industry Bureau Headquarters.

PS: It's a birthday, I'm a little late, sorry.
