Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Chapter 344 Converter Steelmaking Promotion Document Issued
Clear and detailed preliminary preparations, accurate staffing requirements, clear construction period requirements, accurate standardized construction processes with pictures, texts, and data, and strict completion quality inspection standards.
This is included in the standardized process for converter construction.

Clear and sufficient preliminary material preparation, accurate personnel allocation, standard formulas adapted to different types of materials, strict operating procedures, timely and accurate data monitoring and response plans, comprehensive steel data detection and adjustment plans.
This is a standardized scheme for the steelmaking process in converter steelmaking.

These two combined together are the standardized process of the entire converter steelmaking.

After the above documents on the comprehensive promotion of converter steelmaking are released, these two documents will become the standards for the promotion of converter steelmaking and will be allocated to relevant personnel by the Ministry of Industry.

Thirteen days later, the 200-ton converter at Shijingshan Steelmaking Plant was successfully completed.

Excluding the two weekends in between and attending Yang Weimin's memorial service in one day without construction, the normal time-consuming is ten days.

Putting aside the issue of proficiency, other manufacturers can complete the project within half a month if they are well prepared.

This point in time provides the final source of data for the standardized converter construction process.

During the construction of the converter, Shangguan Wan'er showed an astonishing talent for learning. She completely mastered the key points in a short period of time and had the ability to take charge of her own business.

Su Changming and several workers who had previously participated in the construction of experimental converters also have the ability to provide technical guidance.

The document calls for the complete dismantling of small blast furnaces and for farmers to resume production.

Yang Weimin died after drinking at a party. Although this incident was not illegal, it was a serious matter and there was dissatisfaction from above.

After all, when it comes to political achievements, Zhou Xinjian surpasses others by a lot.

This also marks that top-bottom combined blowing converter steelmaking has officially entered the world stage.

"But don't do this again in the future. You act on your own without permission before the superiors have issued the document. It is easy for others to leave a scandal and affect the good impression of you from the superiors."

On the day the notice was issued, Jiang Chen also received an invitation from Zhou Xinjian to go to the Ministry of Industry to discuss matters.

The secretary agreed and turned to make tea.

Zhou Xinjian said: "I heard that you have already built the converter at Shijingshan Steelmaking Plant in advance before the documents above have been issued?"

Jiang Chen, who finally returned to the laboratory and was ready to fish, sighed and drove to the Ministry of Industry.

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Well, we built a 200-ton converter."

Arriving at Zhou Xinjian's office, Zhou Xinjian smiled and said, "Xiao Jiang is here, sit down quickly."

The converter steelmaking is ready, all it needs is the issuance of documents.

Coincidentally, on the day after the construction of converter steelmaking was completed, the Secretariat officially issued a document to comprehensively promote converter steelmaking.

Zhou Xinjian said: "I know you have a good intention and want to put into production as soon as possible and increase production capacity."

"Make Xiao Jiang a cup of tea, the best kind."

Yuan Zhihuan resisted this incident alone and took advantage of the situation to retreat.

The steelmaking methods of major steelmaking plants are orderly switching from open-hearth steelmaking to converter steelmaking.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Yes, I understand!"

"However, the reason why we are building the converter this time is actually mainly for the national converter steelmaking. We need to know how to allocate manpower in the most reasonable way and how much time it will take when we are fully prepared."

"We have mastered these data and will provide data reference for converter steelmaking. It is to improve the converter steelmaking process. It is not an unauthorized action." Zhou Xinjian laughed: "I just said that casually and did not blame you. I mean, there’s no need to explain it to me.”

"Now that the above documents have been issued, the promotion of converter steelmaking can officially begin."

Jiang Chen said, "It can only be said that the plan is perfect, but if the converter is to be put into production, there is still one key thing missing, the oxygen generator."

"The oxygen production process used in the experiment is relatively complicated and cannot be carried out without the support of chemists. It cannot meet the needs of industrial steelmaking."

Zhou Xinjian smiled even more happily: "I came here to talk to you about this matter."

Jiang Chen said: "Look at Mr. Zhou's face full of happiness, but has the oxygen concentrator issue been resolved?"

Zhou Xinjian nodded: "Well, it's solved. We obtained the oxygen concentrator through three channels at the same time."

"First, through diplomatic channels, we found a third-party country. They have obtained a purchase license for oxygen concentrators. Once they get the oxygen concentrators, they can transfer them."

"In addition, the Ministry of Foreign Trade also brought good news, replacing the oxygen concentrator with Sangang machine tools."

"Your little confidant took the biggest credit here. When others clearly refused to export oxygen concentrators to us, she went to negotiate the matter alone."

"Of course, the fastest one is Lou Zhenhua. News came from the security department that he has purchased 30 oxygen concentrators and flown them to Xiangjiang. He is discussing with the security department about the transfer back to China."

"It is expected that it will be delivered to Forty-Nine City within a week at the latest. I didn't expect that this old Lou gave me such a big surprise."

"You were the one responsible for pulling the strings on this matter, and you also deserve a lot of credit."

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "No matter what the credit is, I just want to make some contribution to our industrial development. I didn't expect that the shareholder Lu could get results so quickly."

"With the first batch of 30 oxygen generators in place, we will have 30 converters, which can greatly increase our steel production."

"When the subsequent oxygen concentrators are in place, they will basically be able to meet our current needs."

Jiang Chen didn't mention taking two units to dismantle them for research, although copycats have always been the strength of flower growers.

However, the weak industrial foundation, especially the finishing sector, limits the capabilities of Shanzhai.

Zhou Xinjian nodded: "God rewards hard work. Everyone who works hard will be favored by God, and so will the country that works hard."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Actually, these seemingly accidental things are inevitable due to everyone's hard work."

"It's just that once the converter steelmaking starts to be promoted, confidentiality will become a big problem. We have to hurry up on the patent matter!"

Zhou Xinjian said: "This matter has been agreed upon by the superiors."

"It just so happens that our team is attending a trade fair there and can directly conduct detailed consultations on this matter."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Although it's not the best choice, it's okay."

The industry of the Pyramid Country is not too bad, so there are certain risks for them to do this.

It is most suitable to find a country with basically zero industrial base.

However, there are not many countries that flower growers have diplomatic relations with now, and there is not much room for choice. It is no longer easy to solve this problem.
