Chapter 67 The Crown Jewel of Industry [Update ]

Li Yunfei can be said to have heard these words like "small steel balls in ballpoint pens" and "Fuso's toilet water" since he was a child.

Not only the teacher talked about it, but there were also countless examples in Yilin, the popular break reading material at the time.

Nowadays, even airplanes are made in China, so how can the small steel ball in a ballpoint pen be considered high-tech?

"Old Zhao, our factory has decided to make the small steel ball for this ballpoint pen today. Even God can't change it. That's what I say!" Li Yunfei raised his eyebrows and spoke.

His tone was quite decisive, leaving no room for refusal.

When Zhao Dehan heard this, he sighed and then nodded in agreement.

No matter how much you say, you can't change what the factory director has already decided.

It’s just a furnace of small steel balls for ballpoint pens. Let’s practice making a furnace of them.

Even the smallest steelmaking furnace at Huayang Plant is 60 tons. If this furnace is put into operation, it will probably be enough to supply the global market for several years.

As for technical reserves, the factory has them.

When Li Yunfei had just taken over the Huayang Factory, he began to cast a wide net, focusing on fishing, and looking for profitable projects for the factory.

The production technology of the small steel ball for this ballpoint pen was also studied at that time. It was not difficult at all, but there was no profit, so we gave up.

However, these words instantly lifted the spirits of the audience in the live broadcast room.

"Is our country's technology so advanced now?"

"Director Li, let's just talk about it. You didn't really make it up!"

"Based on what the factory manager said, I feel that he is definitely not someone who owes wages. I have become his fan again."

"This is the jewel in the crown of industry. I have heard people bragging about it since I was a child, but now that I have grown up, I have never seen us make it."

"Are you bullying me because I didn't do any reading comprehension when I was little? The steelmaking technology for this little steel ball is very advanced. How can it be made just like that?"

"Everyone can brag. I said our factory can make photolithography machines. But the Internet only remembers things for three days. We will forget about it in a few days."

Li Yunfei looked at the comments, turned to Zhao Dehan, and asked, "Old Zhao, how many days will it take to produce the small steel balls for our ballpoint pens?"

"what?"

"This production is quite complicated, and there is always a process involved."

"Just tell me a few days!"

"One day, I'll make some arrangements later. The factory should hurry up and produce the finished product tomorrow."

Li Yunfei then looked at the camera in the live broadcast room and said, "Dear viewers, our live broadcast today ends here."

"The production of domestic five-axis lathes is a trade secret. I would like to continue the live broadcast, but I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"Then let's meet tomorrow. I'll show you the internally threaded steel pipe and the small steel ball of the ballpoint pen."

After he finished speaking, he signaled his assistant to turn off the live broadcast, leaving more than one million netizens in the messy live broadcast room.

"No, Director, are we going to end the broadcast now?"

"I also want to learn the technology of turning threaded steel pipes!"

"Brothers, do you think this steel factory can make the small steel balls for ballpoint pens?"

"I hope so. After all, this is the jewel in the crown of industry and has been praised by the public intellectuals for so many years."

The fact that Huayang Factory wanted threaded steel pipes for cars did not cause much heat on the Internet.

but.

The idea of ​​making small steel balls for ballpoint pens has really attracted a lot of attention.

"No, which steel mill is this? I've never heard of it. Is its technical strength so strong?"

"I didn't expect that after all these years, we would finally take action on this jewel in the industrial crown!" "Oh my god, this is the factory under the name of Director Li, why is it him again?"

"I know the factory manager is not an ordinary person. Can anyone tell me where the live broadcast room is? I'll go take a look."

"I have the same question, same question!"

Li Yunfei’s live broadcast room soon became a hot topic.

Even without starting the show, his Douyin account has gained more than one million followers, and his total number of followers has now exceeded 10 million.

You know, it’s been less than two months since the show started.

This speed of increasing followers is very rare even on the TikTok platform, and it can be said to be a phenomenal account.

This account in particular has not released any works, it relies purely on live streaming and does not sell any goods, which makes many official accounts envious.

Especially Snow King, this internet slut, who couldn't even get in on the popularity and could only leave crazy messages in the comment section of related videos.

Although making steel balls may result in losses, at Huayang Factory, Li Yunfei still received full support from a scholar.

That is Saraf. According to him, reputation is the most important intangible asset.

Even if it is a loss, as long as the reputation can be spread, it is not considered a loss.

In order to create an image of a wealthy man, Sarab spends at least hundreds of billions of US dollars on publicity and investment every year.

Of course, the rewards are also quite generous. As for how much the rewards are, that is Sarab’s state secret and I cannot disclose it.

His point of view made Zhao Dehan silent for a long time.

As an old employee of the factory, his personal creed has always been simplicity and capability, and he has almost no idea about publicity.

Can this kind of business that loses money but gains publicity really make money?
Everyone changed into work clothes, put on goggles, and then came to the production room of the five-axis CNC machine tool.

Zhao Dehan asked, "Director, what process should we use to produce this kind of internally threaded steel pipe?"

"The mainstream method on the market now is hot rolling, but the best quality is the combination of cold rolling and cold drawing."

Li Yunfei looked at the other party and said firmly: "Our factory is taking the high-end route, so we naturally have to use the best technology."

"It would be bad if the steel pipes failed to meet the quality standards and exploded because of cost saving, which would ruin our reputation."

"Ah? Explosion?"

"What explosion? It's the water pipe that burst!"

The production speed and product quality of five-axis CNC machine tools are much faster than manual steel pipe turning, and the quality is also higher.

The entire production process is fully automated and requires no manual operation.

Zhao Dehan looked at the people in front of the machine tool observation window and began to explain: "Director, our factory uses chromium-molybdenum alloy steel. What you are seeing now is roughing with a D50 high-speed milling cutter."

"This cutter head has a rotation speed of 1.5 rpm, a back cut depth of 30 mm, a side cut depth of mm, and a feed rate of mm per minute."

"The entire device has its own measuring system, with an error of less than 0.005 mm."

"We are currently using a D16 milling cutter to finish the internal thread. This model has a rotation speed of 0.3 mm/min, a back cut of 0.5 mm, a side cut of mm, and a feed rate of mm/min."

"The last one is the five-axis linkage finishing contour of the D4 ball cutter, with a speed of 0.3 mm/min, a back cutting depth of 0.3 mm, a side cutting depth of 4200 mm, and a feed of mm/min."

"The whole process only takes five minutes. We have a total of 20 of this same type of equipment in our factory."

When the 7.62mm internally threaded steel pipe was taken out, the smooth surface and rifling that looked like a work of art... No! It was an internal thread.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in their hearts. Even though they didn't understand what it said, this steel pipe was indeed a good one.

Saraf looked at the six-meter-long five-axis CNC machine in front of him and asked with shining eyes: "Brother, how much do you sell this equipment for?"

So Sharab focuses on oil exports and tourism, but as the future successor, he also has a dream of heavy industry in the Middle East.
