Peninsula Steel Love

Chapter 763 Park Chulong’s throbbing

The scene was quiet, with only Zhao Xiubin's sweet voice floating in the air. As a result, Park Chulong did not dare to move casually.

Because the program team specially arranged two cameras to face the audience, the idol's professional habits made Park Chulong immediately manage her expressions.

Fortunately, the location she chose was relatively remote, and the camera might not be able to capture it clearly. After all, she didn't come here just to be on the show.

And Park Chulong was surprised to find that she was not the only one who had the same idea. Most of the artists present chose to step aside, leaving the prominent position to other ordinary audiences.

There is a group of college students sitting in the C seat in the middle. From the baseball uniforms on their bodies, it is easy to tell that they should be students from Yonsei and Kyunghee universities.

The students next to them were wearing navy blue overalls, which greatly confused Park Chulong. She wondered who would be on camera dressed like this when they were recording a show.

In addition, there were two women among them. Pu Chulong couldn't see their faces clearly from the side, but one of them with a single ponytail looked familiar, and the gourd figure seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

Apart from these two groups, the rest is more interesting. There are three female police officers and several macho firefighters. The rest are all well-dressed and look like social elites. They might be a group of prosecutors, lawyers or doctors.

No wonder the artists had to stand aside obediently. In front of them, idol actors and actresses were nothing. Park Chulong couldn't help but feel sad when he saw this.

At this time, Zhao Xiubin was still talking on the stage, but the audience below was not happy. As for the promised guests, they were not here for Zhao Xiubin. Seeing that someone was about to lose control, the lights in the studio suddenly went out. .

What the hell is this? There have been two episodes of "Made IN China". In the past, the guests would personally introduce the show. However, in this episode, the guests have not shown up yet. Many viewers expressed their confusion.

"Hey Lou Ben, before the show starts, please watch the VCR first." Zhao Xiubin stepped aside, and the big screen on the stage lit up.

On the screen, red molten steel was slowly flowing, and the narration was a deep and rich male voice. The ups and downs of the broadcasting tone shocked everyone present.

"Steel is one of the fruits and driving forces of human progress. Today, the steel industry has become the basic industry of all industrialized countries and has formed a huge system."

The video then uses a very simple and easy-to-understand frame to show how a piece of iron ore is sintered into molten iron through a blast furnace, then smelted into molten steel through a converter, and then undergoes continuous casting and rolling to finally evolve into the steel we all know.

The entire process flow can be summarized into four major parts, namely ironmaking, ironmaking, steelmaking and steel rolling. However, this unexpected beginning immediately confused everyone. Well, not a single word of the professional terminology was understood.

Everyone was still trying to digest the so-called steel-making process. The exciting BGM sounded inadvertently, and the narration continued:

“This process requires every front-line worker to concentrate and watch for leaks, leaks, leaks, and instrument indications, etc. Each department continuously checks the instruments and makes timely adjustments.”

"Today, there are 197 million people engaged in China's steel industry, equivalent to the entire population of Qatar. They build the stage calmly and seriously, but have never stood in the spotlight. However, the vastness of the history of China's steel industry is far beyond the imagination of outsiders."

"Let's go back a hundred years and start with a steel company."

The video was urgently produced by Sangang TV based on past materials, and then re-edited by KBS with Korean commentary. For a moment, there was silence in the studio, and everyone was attentive and looking forward to what the VCR would say next.

Because anyone who knows Zhou Jing knows that Sangang is the parent company behind him, but this video is obviously not about Sangang, so it can't arouse strong curiosity in the audience.

"In 1914, Swedish geologist Andersen, who was the mining policy advisor to the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce of the Republic of China government, discovered a rich iron ore in Longguan Mountain. Two years later, during the First World War, the international steel shortage and prices soared, and the Beiyang Government It was decided to raise 500 million silver dollars to develop the Long'an Iron Mine through a joint venture between the government and businesses."

"After the establishment of Longyan Iron Mine Company, a steel plant was built in Shijingshan. The stone refinery broke ground in September 1919. It is designed to produce 9 tons of iron and 1922 tons of steel per year. It is planned to be put into operation in May 5."

"At that time, the equipment used by Shi Lian was the most advanced in China. The overall equipment was designed by the American Bellin Marshal Company and manufactured by Marshall Engineering Company of New York. American engineers were hired for on-site guidance. Unfortunately, the background of the times doomed Shi Lian's ill-fated life. ”

"The Zhili-Fengtian War broke out in April 1922. At that time, 4% of the progress of the stone refinery project was completed, but it was forced to stop work under artillery fire, and this stoppage lasted for fifteen years."

Hiss. Pu Chulong took a breath. Unknowingly, she was deeply attracted by the content of the video. As a result, her eyes turned red and she was almost in tears the next second.

"The Marco Polo Bridge Incident broke out on July 1937, 7. The Japanese army occupied Shilian and imposed military control and handed it over to the Japanese Xingzhong Company for management. They immediately mobilized nearly 7 Chinese prisoners of war and captured laborers to repair it."

"Sadly, the stone refinery, which was started in 1919, did not produce a ton of steel for eighteen years, but was finally completed by the Japanese with human lives. On November 1938, 11, after several months of repairs, the stone refinery was in the hands of the Japanese. The first batch of molten iron flowed out, which was called the "first tear of Longyan Iron Works" by later generations. "During the war, the Japanese invaders did not hesitate to harm the Chinese people in order to plunder resources. According to incomplete statistics, as of 20, In just one month, tens of thousands of workers were killed and injured in the Smelting and Longyan Iron Mines, and there were so many dead bodies that it’s hard to write a book about them.”

The silence in the studio was so quiet that you could hear it. After a while, intermittent sobs could be heard. The Koreans who were also victims of World War II felt the same, especially when they saw the Japanese sealing the stone smelting blast furnace with molten iron after the defeat. Waves of faint sobbing could be heard at the scene. Asiba.

It is hopeless and scrapped in situ. This is the conclusion reached by American experts after inspecting Shi Lian after the war. However, the Chinese people do not believe in evil. Shi Lian’s newly appointed factory director and chief engineer An Chaojun is known as a young iron-making expert. Just one of them.

He first renamed Shijingshan Iron Works Shijingshan Steel Works, and then used the American blast furnace excavation method to spend two years to restore the production capacity of part of the blast furnace. In January 1948, Shigang successfully produced iron and became the only one in China after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. A large iron-making furnace for furnace production.

However, the situation is inconsistent. The front is tight and the rear is tight. Shigang's warehouse funds disappeared during the two years it was governed by the reactionaries, and workers' wages have been in arrears for a long time.

It was even worse in the mining area. Instead of adding any new equipment, the original equipment and materials were stolen and sold by the garrison personnel. Fortunately, the time came to the end of 1948, and the Battle of Pingjin started.

On December 12, under the protection of An Chaojun and the underground party, the Shijingshan Steelmaking Plant was completely returned to the hands of the people, and a new chapter began.

Faced with the emaciated stone and steel workers who had not had enough to eat for a long time, the 143rd Division of the People's Liberation Army urgently transported 25 kilograms of grain to support them. This move also made the workers realize that they were no longer the objects of oppression and exploitation. This sparked an unprecedented enthusiasm for production.

It only took six months for Shigang to resume full production. The half-year iron production of 2.6 tons exceeded the national plan. This was nothing. A year later, Shigang's output surged to 34 tons. When I heard this, the digital studio rang. Incredible exclamations, but the miracle continues.

Shigang No. 1959 blast furnace was put into operation in 3

In 1964, China's first 30-ton oxygen top-blown converter was built.

In 1967, Shigang officially changed its name to Capital Iron and Steel Company.

The fourth set of RMB was issued in 1987. The prototype of the worker in the fifty-yuan note was Zhang Jinlu, the director of the steelmaking furnace of Shougang Special Steel.

In 1993, Shougang purchased the California steel plant in the United States and demolished the entire steel plant and shipped it back to China.

In 1994, Shougang's steel output reached 823 ​​million tons, ranking first among steel companies in the country.

In the past 75 years, Shougang has experienced the ups and downs of modern times, and has also become a witness and participant in the history of New China. Of course, Shougang is not alone.

Anshan Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., known as the cradle of steel in the Republic, was founded in 1916. Hanyang Iron Works, which marked the beginning of the modern steel industry, was founded in 1890. In 1937, Taigang Iron and Steel Co., Ltd. was founded, which produced the first batch of stainless steel in China.

There are also Maanshan Iron and Steel, Wuhan Iron and Steel, Baotou Iron and Steel, Beiwu Iron and Steel, etc. The scene changes. In 1978, the Three Iron and Steel Co., Ltd., which gathered the power of the country and had the most advanced technology, began to emerge.

Under the drone aerial photography, the whole picture of Sangang was presented to Koreans for the first time. The entire factory area was covered with greenery, and the production workshop was highly automated. Only a few people were seen walking around in the picture.

A set of charts shows that China's crude steel production exceeded 2014 million tons in 8, and the largest industrial group in human history was born. However, the narrator's commentary made people cry.

"The steel industry carries the hope of self-improvement for a country and a nation. Countless steel men have gone into the storm one after another. They smelt steel, cast steel, and themselves are also steel."

"Today, China's steel industry is already the steel industry system with the most complete industrial chain, the largest scale, and the most advanced equipment and technology in the world. In the past, the West regarded steel as a sunset industry. At that time, no one knew that this sunset would rise in the east. Time and again A new record.”

"Chinese steel has never been limited to finance, economy or technology. It is a story about how people understand the times and strive for it. This story is made by steel people one after another."

"The molten steel has been burning for a hundred years, and we are always on the road."

As the passionate voice dissipated, the big screen went dark and the lights came on. Zhao Xiubin returned to the center of the stage, but the audience was still silent as far as he could see.

Just because they were deeply shocked by the last sentence, Pu Chulong felt that his little heart was beating wildly, and he never thought that it had just begun.

Zhao Xiubin smiled slightly, and then said calmly: "I believe you have some understanding of China's steel industry after watching VCR. Now let's invite today's guests."

"Executive Director of DPS Steel Co., Ltd., Zhou Jingxi, everyone applauds and welcomes us."

The scene immediately burst into warm applause, and when Pu Chulong saw the familiar yet unfamiliar figure on the stage, she felt her breath stop, and a flash of red flashed across her pretty face.
