The Prosperous Years of Siheyuan

Chapter 217 Open Hearth Furnace Test Run
After finishing the meat for Shi Gang, Lao Qiu came to the door with a beef leg to thank him.

He also received a big glare from the eldest sister, which made Lao Qiu a little confused.

Is there something wrong with giving gifts?

Because he was a member of Team Leader Chen's family and had participated in converter renovation, Lao Qiu didn't say anything.

Shamelessly, he received a roll of eyes from Gu Yizhou.

Shigang's side had finished eating a big meal, and they also gave a time for a test run. The furnace will be opened after twelve days, and the time is definitely considered to be a satellite launch.

Lao Qiu was still a little upset because he missed the gift.

Many pragmatic and rational people will do some things even if they know they violate objective laws.

Lao Qiu and the workers at Shigang are obviously such people.

They even risked their lives for this.

It was hard for Chen Jisheng to persuade him about this relationship, but he could do the same.

It took twelve days to finalize some details, because it was relatively hasty to launch the open-hearth furnace.

No matter whether it is Chen Jisheng, Lao Qiu, Chief Engineer An or the leader of the First Machinery Department, they are all afraid that something will go wrong.

The selection of special steel is also very careful, using tank steel with the most detailed parameter data.

Even if it fails, the scrapped tank steel can be further processed by Shigang and used as ordinary steel.

In preparation for the open-hearth furnace test run, Chen Jisheng also frequently went to Shigang to check the situation.

Because on the day of the test drive, many leaders will be present, and safety is the biggest issue.

I am busy with business, and there is a happy event at home, and my eldest sister seems to have one.

On the morning of the third day when Lao Qiu came to deliver the goods, the eldest sister spat out the bean juice in her mouth all over the table.

Suspicious, Chen Jisheng asked Zhou Baishan to take a look at it, and initially it looked like she had it.

Chen Jisheng didn't go to Shigang that day, but took his eldest sister to Lao Dong's place.

When the pulse is confirmed, it will take time to prove whether the baby is actually pregnant.

Chen Jisheng was naturally happy about happy events, but Shigang's open hearth furnace made him worry even more.

The man in a light-colored tunic suit came over and gave important instructions, involving the continuous doubling of steel production, which shocked many senior executives.

Therefore, Shigang’s open-hearth furnace test run will have many high-level officials visiting the site.

The level of the light-colored Chinese tunic suit was not detailed, but Chen Jisheng reckoned that it might have alarmed the people at the top.

In this way, safety becomes the most important requirement.

It was too hasty to start the open hearth.

Shi Gang worked hard here, building open-hearth furnaces first and then building factories.

The open hearth has requirements for the workshop, but it is not high. The people of Shigang directly served the main course.

Today's open-hearth workshop has just laid the foundation around it, with scattered pillars surrounding the open-hearth furnace in the middle.

In the past few days, what Chen Jisheng wants to supervise is to connect the pillars supporting the factory building with steel bars.

A lonely pillar cannot bear any weight. Who can guarantee that it will not fall?
Once there is an accident on the day of the test drive, the fun will be great.

Standing on the artificially tamped land, Chen Jisheng was really speechless.

Mr. An is also a ruthless person, and the three links and one leveling made things hasty.

With the workers, the open-hearth furnace was built directly.

The tamped ground, which has long been filled with ruts, stands at the center of the future open-hearth workshop.

Looking at the pillars all around, it looks like the ruins of war.

If the first furnace of steel is successful, the spirit will be commendable.

If you fail and your attitude is not rigorous, you will inevitably be criticized.

The workers risked their lives, and General Engineer An also risked his life, and risked everything he had.

Looking at Lao Qiu, who had a frothy mouth next to him, Chen Jisheng spoke helplessly.

"Lao Qiu, if you just look like this, what are you going to do when the leaders come?"

After a big meal of meat, Shi Gang's products were probably blinded by lard.

The saying of offering gifts after the holidays and bringing double happiness has created the current ruins of the open-hearth workshop.

"What the hell?

As long as our special steel is completed, it will be a clay kiln, and that is also a credit. "

Taking the opportunity to light a cigarette, Lao Qiu's eyes turned red and he began to make a domineering declaration.

Risking everything just for the production of steel products has some grudges not only shared by the upper class.

The steelworkers are also deeply engraved in their hearts.

Catching up can't be thought of now, but the dream of doubling it every year has made Shi Gang join the ranks of risking his life.

"You are a cruel person too!
After the test run was successful, I immediately contacted the Northeast side and strived to have the same ten furnaces within a month. "

Lao Qiu and the others were ruthless, and Chen Jisheng was even more ruthless. He had communicated with Chief Engineer An before.

Similar to Shigang, a monkey version of the open-hearth furnace was built in a northeastern steel plant using original equipment and pipelines.

At present, the production of special steel is a bottleneck, and the first thing to do is to break through this bottleneck.

It's just that most steel plants need to be renovated or build new plants.

Chen Jisheng had an idea and chose a more wasteful method.

Directly loading the open furnace in large quantities is the most immediate way to achieve results.

But the waste is not small. The ten open hearth furnaces may be abandoned within a few years.

But compared with economic benefits and development benefits, this waste is worth it.

If it can drive steel and downstream industries to weather the storm smoothly and increase waste tenfold, it will be considered a big profit.

Now, Shigang's open hearth furnace test run has become the key, as long as it succeeds.

The old man gave his approval, and ten open-hearth furnaces were put into operation, plus the increased output of the converter.

Chen Jisheng is more than [-]% sure that the upper management will continue to pay attention to the steel industry.

Development and stability go hand in hand. With these concerns, even if the steel industry is in chaos, it will be delayed for a few years.

After a few years of delay, newly launched converters, open-hearth furnaces, and downstream industries were launched.

Naturally, I will submit an answer sheet that satisfies the senior management, and I will have a satisfactory answer sheet.

The stability of the steel industry may be sustainable.

With the addition of the picket teams from Shigang and Anshan Iron and Steel, the cost may be a few percent higher.

"You are so cruel!

ten seats?

We have no one! "

After looking at Chen Jisheng in surprise, Lao Qiu sighed helplessly and said.

He doesn't want to hide his technology at all, but the reality is before him.

Even if the original pipelines are used, it will take at least a year to build ten open-hearth furnaces.

"I have communicated with Chief Engineer An, and like us, ten seats are mounted at the same time.

Let the major steel mills do the infrastructure construction themselves, and we only provide technical guidance.Of course, it depends on how much money you need.

If you want to take advantage, let them go! "

Chen Jisheng's words made Lao Qiu's blood-red eyes light up.

Naturally, one Shigang was unable to launch ten open-hearth furnaces at the same time.

But the same drying method as Shi Gang is definitely possible.

"The steel mill over there will have objections."

Taking money without any effort is not in line with the trend. Lao Qiu thought for a moment and felt a little embarrassed.

"The technology is in our hands, and we are waiting for opinions.

There are so many steel mills across the country, and they will wait until the people who pay them are done with their work before talking about their affairs.

Lao Qiu, this time the open hearth furnace is completed, so building a new factory can be put on the agenda. "

After listening to Chen Jisheng's words, Lao Qiu's eyes widened even more.

This big step after big step, each step stepped on his heart.

“The First Machinery Department also said this earlier.

Team leader Chen, which one do you think is the right choice? "

The size of the factory limits output, and obsolete equipment also limits output.

Now that Krupp's technology is available, Lao Qiu is full of longing for the new factory in the future.

"Jinmen Caodian!"

Chen Jisheng told Shi Gang's location in the future.

A step ahead of 40 years, Shigang saved enough money to build hundreds of open-hearth furnaces.

"Jinmen? Is it too far?"

Thinking of leaving his family and career behind, Lao Qiu frowned. Isn't it good to be around Sijiu City?
“The traffic is inappropriate.

Jinmen has a seaport in the east and a railway in the north, which has inherent advantages for the rapid development of Shigang.

Even our steel mill can have its own port. "

Chen Jisheng's answer made Lao Qiu look happy, and this was also in his heart.

As for Chen Jisheng, he was a little helpless. What about the environment?
Few people care about it now, and they can only start with traffic.

Whether it can work or not is a matter of debate. After all, today's land and sea transportation is not very developed.

New construction also means huge investment, which is currently in short supply.

"It's done! When the open furnace is ready, I'll go to the First Machinery Department to chat."

Seeing Lao Qiu's eyes filled with murderous intent, Chen Jisheng could only sigh for the leaders of the First Machinery Department.

The purpose of this bastard can't be achieved, and the leaders are afraid that it will be difficult for them to work quietly.

As the trial run slowly approached, Shi Gang slowly relaxed.

Because the key things are done, the follow-up will not affect the test results.

The workers also need to take a good rest before the test run.

The day of the test run was similar to that of the converter test run.

Fire trucks and ambulances are still on duty.

It’s just that the fleet lineup this time is several times larger than that of the converter test run.

"I heard that Xiao Gu has a baby, can he go to Hong Kong City soon?"

In the corner, Chen Jisheng was trembling because standing in front of him was the leader.

"Yes! No problem."

“Things have been done well, but the behavior still needs to be reformed.”

"It's hard to handle! Why don't you send me to reform through labor!"

"Are you threatening me again?"

"Don't dare!"

"Some news needs to be confirmed by the Hong Kong City side, so Xiao Gu should work hard and make a trip.

You are not allowed to go!

You should read the work carefully and write down your thoughts. Don’t act like a little bandit all day long! "

Seeing that the leader had left, Chen Jisheng stretched a little, looked at the light-colored tunic in front of him, and smiled helplessly.

"You just report it!

What about the promised front? "

Chen Jisheng was also helpless when he saw the man in the light-colored tunic suit was silent.

There were too many leaders on the scene, and he didn't dare to make mistakes, so he could only endure the anger in his heart.

Just after Gu Lei left, the eldest sister had to go to Hong Kong City alone again, and she was still grounded.

Looking at the leaders' lineup in the corner, Chen Jisheng thought the same thing, now it's time to see the result.

Together with the leaders, we watched the molten steel enter the chute, and watched the moment when the foreman cried out that the special steel passed the test with tears in his eyes.

The scene burst into lasting applause.

"This time I have a long face!"

In Shigang's large conference room, Chen Jisheng, Lao Qiu, and Chief Engineer An were facing a group of calligraphy treasures, and they were proud of each other.

The leader must also be excited about inscriptions, poems, and continuous inscriptions.

Suppressing his surging thoughts, Chen Jisheng looked at the ink on the table that was not yet dry, thought for a moment, and then spoke.

"Lao Qiu, arrange the publicity department to turn all of these into slogans. There must be such slogans in all conspicuous positions throughout the factory.

I took photos of the calligraphy treasures and prepared dozens of copies.

Every factory that built an open-fired furnace would send a copy. "

With these inscriptions and the continued attention of the leaders, in the past two or three years, maintaining stability and increasing production of Shigang must be given top priority.

With these ink treasures, whether it is other steel plants or local units.

Even into the wind and rain, these inscriptions should be seriously considered.

The maintenance of stability in the entire steel industry can be regarded as having a solid theoretical foundation.

“Team Leader Chen’s idea is good, I’ll make arrangements right away.”

After hearing what Chen Jisheng said, Lao Qiu's face became even more joyful.

Different from Chen Jisheng's idea, Lao Qiu thinks that this is to show Shigang's honor to other steel mills.

It's a good thing that has greatly increased Shi Gang's reputation. How can dozens of copies be enough?

"Team Leader Chen, should we be more cautious when promoting open-hearth technology?

Only by keeping the furnace running for at least a month can we truly test the quality of the open-hearth furnace. "

Mr. An is bold when it comes to work, but he is also cautious about technology. Success once does not mean success every time.

The Krupp steelmaking method still needs practice to test.
