Development of productivity started in 1981

Chapter 220: Steel City Phase I is officially in operation (asking for monthly tickets)
"Uncle, the first phase of Gaoya Steel City has been almost completed, the iron ore mining operation has officially begun, and the iron smelting plant area 1 has been completed. When do you think we should hold the ignition ceremony?"

After checking that the construction of the first phase of the project was in line with the requirements of the drawings, Wang Jiankun used a brain wave control helmet to contact his uncle.

"Jiankun, the first phase of the project has been completed, which is more than half a month faster than previously estimated. Did you use a lot of superpowers to speed up? You must have worked so hard." My uncle was still very worried that he was overusing his brain and was afraid that he would be in danger.

"No, except for some equipment that is difficult to manufacture with conventional methods, which I made with my superpowers, all other infrastructure projects and conventional equipment were manufactured by our construction team and factory. I underestimated the capabilities of the new humans and natural people with brain-computer chips. Their work efficiency is super high and their cooperation is super perfect, so the progress of the project has greatly exceeded expectations."

"That's good. Although the entire project is built by very loyal personnel, you should not use your superpowers too obviously."

"I understand. Let's not talk about this any more. You decide when we should hold the lighting ceremony. I will be returning to China next month."

"Hmm~, how about June 6th, which is the day after tomorrow?"

"June 6th? Sure. Then let me know the exact time after you coordinate so I can make arrangements!"

After agreeing on the start time, Wang Jiankun began to make some modifications to the construction of the second phase at Gaoya Steel City.

Because the construction workers were connected to the Internet via communication satellites and then planned uniformly by the central computer, the coordination between the various processes was very close, so the first phase of the project was completed many days ahead of schedule.

However, the construction speed of some upstream factories is now a bit slow, and some of the previously stored materials are not enough. If the construction of the second phase starts immediately, it may result in a situation of building for a while and then resting for a while.

Therefore, Wang Jiankun asked all the factory managers and middle-level managers of Quanjiezhen to access the satellite communication system, and then asked Zhizi to write an engineering control system to connect all the factories and engineering projects of Quanjiezhen at that time.

In this way, the front-end production and the back-end demand are connected through the brain-computer chip, the satellite communication system, and the central computer. The central computer will coordinate and formulate production plans and construction plans, so that each unit and each process can be closely integrated to reduce waste.

Now the whole country is basically based on a planned economy model. The main factories in the country are established and operated by organizations. The allocation method is also mainly based on planning, and then fine-tuned according to the needs of different people and different positions.

In addition, because there are not many factories and engineering projects in the entire organization at present, the main personnel have been included in the management of the organization, so the set of central computer guidance of production currently developed by Wang Jiankun is more feasible.

During this period, Wang Jiankun also thought about the economic model of the Total Liberation Array and even the subsequent Human League. He believed that with the continuous development of productivity, after human beings finally solved the problems of personnel and living space, communism might be the most appropriate organizational model.

Now he wanted to conduct some experiments here in the full solution array.

Because energy (electricity) will no longer be in short supply here, the small northern Myanmar and the whole of Myanmar in the future will be enough with gas-cooled nuclear reactors. In addition, with continuous development, solar energy and wind energy will continue to be utilized, so future energy problems will not affect the experiment of communist production and distribution models.

In addition, the distribution problem is also easier to solve. At this time, the brain-computer chips have been implanted into the brains of more than 3 members of the Quanjiezhen organization. These people showed acceptance and gratitude for obtaining this mysterious device that can sublimate their bodies. Almost no one showed resistance or discomfort. This shows that the subsequent implantation of brain-computer chips in the entire population is no longer a problem.

Members of the full-solution array who have been implanted with brain-computer chips can directly express their needs, so that first-hand material needs can be collected quickly and conveniently, and the authenticity of the information is very high.

In this way, the information on the demand side is accurate, and the production side can organize production according to demand.

And when productivity develops to the stage of fully automatic production, people will no longer have to work 8 hours a day, and all production processes can be handled by machines.

In the future, labor will be a form of leisure, and people can spend their time on what they are interested in. This will completely liberate the brain. Humans are responsible for imagination, and machines are responsible for realization.

While waiting for the first phase of the project to be ignited, Wang Jiankun used brainwave control helmets to connect with the heads of all the factories in the Quanjie array, while imagining the subsequent development.

Time unknowingly came to 6 am on June 28, and there was only one hour left until the lighting ceremony.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz." A buzzing sound came from the distant sky.

Wang Jiankun had the best eyesight and saw three small airships flying in the distance. On them should be all the senior staff of the Quanjie formation.

Perhaps to prevent any accidents with the airship, the five people and their entourage boarded three small passenger airships.

The speed of this airship is not slow. At medium altitude and under good weather conditions, its flying speed can reach 300 kilometers per hour, which is no slower than the current helicopter.

Because the airship is filled with helium and the material is made of ultra-light and thin graphene that is non-flammable, it is not afraid of extreme situations such as fire and explosion.

The internal facilities are also very complete. You can make simple meals or heat up meals prepared on the ground. It is also connected to satellite communications and Beidou navigation, so you can work on it just like on the ground.

Nowadays, almost all middle and senior management personnel of the Quanjie Group choose this kind of small passenger airship when traveling, which is fast and safe.

The three airships landed one after another on the flat ground a little distance away. The first to come out were Li Sheng and his entourage.

Wang Jiankun came forward to greet them with some key members of the steel city construction and subsequent operation.

"Commander Li, welcome, welcome."

"Hello, Comrade Jiankun! Thank you for your hard work and for organizing and participating in the construction of our various major projects."

"It should be. With great ability comes great responsibility. We are all working for the highest ideal."

After the two men exchanged greetings for a while, the other two airships also landed. My uncle Cen Yong, military chief Peng Sheng, administrative chief U Nu, and financial chief Ne Win got off the airships one after another, and their entourage also left the cabins of the airships one after another.

Led by the guides, they came to the back of the platform where the ceremony was held and had a brief conversation. Wang Jiankun mainly gave them a brief introduction to the current situation of the first phase of Gaoya Steel City.

"Commanders, the lighting ceremony is about to begin. I will show you around after the ceremony is over."

"Okay, let's go on stage now!" Li Sheng said.

The others also stopped talking and followed Li Sheng onto the stage.

Wang Jiankun was responsible for presiding over the ceremony. He briefly introduced the situation of Gaoya Steel City and its significance to the whole solution formation, and then invited several leaders to speak.

Li Sheng and other leaders did not waste much time. The main point was to affirm the significance of this project and the hard work of all the construction workers.

After the speech, a rectangular block with a big red button on it rose in front of the rostrum. Once the button was pressed, the 20 iron reduction furnaces of the first phase of the iron and steel plant next to it would start one by one and begin flash iron smelting.

Several people, led by Li Sheng, came to the button. Wang Jiankun was also there. Several people stretched out their hands one after another and placed their palms lightly on the big red button.

There is a timer next to the button, which displays the time. When the time reaches 10 o'clock, several people press the button at the same time.

The moment the button was pressed, the iron smelting furnace closest to the rostrum in the distance first roared, as a large amount of iron powder was fed into the prepared reduction furnace chamber for an explosion reaction. After that, roars continued to sound, and the other 19 iron smelting reduction furnaces began to deliver iron powder one by one.

At this time, the first iron-making reduction furnace had already produced iron, and the red molten iron flowed out from the outlet and into the mold not far away.

At this time, a staff member used a special spoon to take a spoonful of molten iron and poured it into the prepared mold for making souvenirs.

After cooling for a while, the mold is opened and the solidified molten iron turns into small iron plates.

The staff member took out the iron plate clamp, put it into the prepared cooling water, and then polished it with a small grinder.

The surface layer that was stuck to the iron inside the mold was ground off, revealing the silvery-white pure iron inside.

In the middle of the iron plate are five simplified Chinese characters "Gaoya Steel City", and below is a line of numbers, "1984.06.28", which means that Gaoya Steel City officially began producing steel on June 1984, 6.

The staff member put the polished iron plate into the graphene shell prepared by Wang Jiankun, pressed it tightly to expel the air, strung it together with a red rope, and handed it to the etiquette lady waiting on the side.

Then the etiquette lady brought six of the iron plates to the rostrum.

"Dear leaders, these are commemorative plaques made from the first batch of molten iron produced by Gaoya Iron City. Take them as a souvenir!" Wang Jiankun handed the iron plates to Li Sheng and others.

"Jiankun, why is this iron so white? It looks like silver, but it feels different from silver." Li Sheng asked puzzledly.

"Commander, this is a piece of pure iron, which means the carbon content is extremely small, so small that it can be ignored, and the color of pure iron is silvery white," Wang Jiankun explained.

"Oh, I didn't know that. Pure iron is silvery white. The pig iron and steel I saw before are gray-black."

"This kind of pure iron can only be mass-produced by our flash iron smelting process. The iron smelted by other countries can only be pig iron, and cannot produce our kind of iron."

"Oh? Then can you tell me the benefits of this iron smelting process?"

"Then let's take a tour while I explain."

So several people followed Wang Jiankun down from the rostrum and approached the area of ​​the iron smelting reduction furnace.

The sound of the iron-making reduction furnace that was continuously in production was not very loud. Everyone was watching from a distance of more than 30 meters, and Wang Jiankun began to explain to them.

"First of all, this iron-making process saves a lot of coal. The main reducing agent is actually hydrogen, and carbon monoxide is used as an auxiliary, or to make some low-carbon steel.

Secondly, it can utilize iron ore with low iron content. The iron content of iron ore in our area is generally not high. If we use a blast furnace to make iron, a lot of iron ore cannot be used.

If the iron produced is pure iron or low-carbon steel, since it contains almost no impurities, the subsequent electric furnace steelmaking process can be greatly simplified. It is also very easy to smelt alloy steel because the slag removal and impurity removal steps can be omitted, and the quality of the smelted alloy steel will be greatly improved. "

While looking at the towering railways in the distance constantly flowing red molten iron, several people listened to Wang Jiankun's explanation.

Because the temperature of the molten iron is very high, although the furnace has cooling water to cool it down, the molten iron continues to release heat into the air.

Because the electric furnace steel plant at the back end is still under construction, the molten iron cannot be directly introduced into the steel plant. It must first be cooled into iron blocks and stored before being transported to the steel plant in Magao.

This will not be the case with the second phase of the project. Most of the molten iron produced will then be transported directly to the steelmaking workshop, where it will be refined into various types of steel, and then directly made into semi-finished steel products through the continuous rolling and continuous casting workshop for use in the machinery manufacturing workshop.

"Leaders, it's too hot here. Let's go somewhere else!" Wang Jiankun saw that several people had faint traces of sweat on their backs and faces, so he suggested going to other places to visit.

"Okay, the guest should follow the host's wishes. Jiankun, you lead the way." Li Sheng said with a laugh.

So Wang Jiankun called a tour car and drove everyone to the distant iron mine.

The electric tour car made almost no sound as it traveled on the smooth cement road. This was a dual-purpose vehicle for visits and commuting specially made by Wang Jiankun. This type of electric car will be the main means of transportation in the steel city in the future.

"My dear leaders, the short-distance railway that is under construction over there will be open to traffic in about a month."

"Oh, using railways to transport ore and steel products? That's great. I thought they would always use those big mining trucks for transportation!" said Chief Administrative Officer Ne Win.

"Jiankun, you said that the steel city has officially started production. Then, can we start the construction of the one vertical and two horizontal railways planned in the territory we control now? Previously, it was delayed because of our insufficient steel production and the war of unification. Now I heard you say that the daily steel production in this period is close to 10 tons. Can we start building the three railways?" asked the military chief Peng Sheng.

"Commander Peng, I hope to slow down a bit. I have a better railway design. It is a high-speed electrified railway that can maintain a running speed of 350 kilometers per hour."

"High-speed electrified railway? Running at 350 kilometers per hour? Such a high speed is faster than a helicopter. There are many mountainous areas here, so it must be very difficult to build it, right?"

“Although there are difficulties, I have already got some solutions. I hope to build a 30-kilometer test line. After the test is completed, we can proceed with the subsequent construction of the entire line. In addition, after unifying the southern region, we will build this high-speed railway throughout Myanmar.” Wang Jiankun explained his ideas for the development of railways to several senior executives.

After discussion, several people decided to support Wang Jiankun's experiment. The 30-kilometer test line is from Langdao to Magang.

This section of road has plains, hills, mountains and rivers. It is also an old base and temporary capital, so it is very suitable for building an experimental line.

The electric car had unknowingly brought them to the iron mine. At the entrance, Wang Jiankun took them to an ore transport vehicle and brought them to the vicinity of the two giant rotary excavators.

The view from the tall ore transport truck's cab was excellent. Several people looked through the windshield at the two steel behemoths that were spinning their buckets like windmills.

Wherever the windmill passed, the iron ore excavation surface several meters high was constantly eroded. The scene was very shocking. Although several people had heard of this kind of ore excavator, when they saw it with their own eyes, they found that it was countless times more exaggerated than they expected.

"Jiankun, this excavator is so big. I heard you say that it can dig 24 tons in one rotation. I didn't expect it to rotate so fast. The long arm with the eight large buckets swept over, and dozens of square meters of iron ore were dug away."

"Yes, Jiankun, this excavator is amazing. How about using it to dig a mountain?"

"It's not easy to dig in the mountains, they are too hard. These iron ores have been blasted to loosen them, so they can be easily dug out with this big excavator."

Several people looked at the iron mine for a long time. Later, Wang Jiankun said that he had to go back to eat, and everyone left with a sense of reluctance.

After lunch, several leaders left one after another on the passenger airship, and Wang Jiankun also began to make some preliminary preparations for the construction of the high-speed railway.
