Siheyuan: The Villain's Cool Life

What Shen He saw was a very old blast furnace.

After searching around, I saw his nameplate at this place.

Well, it was made in 1928.

It has been used until now.

I have to say that Chinese people have really reached the extreme when it comes to frugality.

There is no way to be frugal. Metallurgical furnaces are generally not available for purchase, and other countries do not sell them. Even if they sell them to you, the functions are probably not much different from this one, so it doesn't make much difference whether you replace it or not.

The steelmaking furnace next to it is still the oldest type of converter.

But it's only one ton at a time, not too much.

Shen He looked at the steelmaking furnace and thought, well, it can be modified into a top-blown furnace, which means adding a furnace for blowing oxygen and hot air.

Top-blown furnaces are not difficult either.

However, the renovation should take three days, but it is not easy to complete some things.

For example, it is difficult to get the oxygen blown in.

If Shen He wants to do it, he will have to get an oxygen generator to compress the generated oxygen and pour it into the tank.

This won't take a week or two to complete.

This old-fashioned stove can barely produce the formula that Shen He came up with.

The maximum temperature of this furnace is only 1800 degrees.

Although the higher the better.

However, the higher the furnace temperature, the better the fusion of the materials will be, the fewer impurities in the molten steel will contain, and the higher the quality will be.

The temperature of 1800 degrees is barely enough to meet the refining requirements.

Shen He had a plan in mind.

I talked to Secretary Guan and asked her to take note of it.

Then he took Yu Gong to the place where materials were collected.

"Kang Zhengwen, take your team to test the quality of these ores and list a standard refining procedure."

"Okay, Mr. Shen."

"Mr. Yu, please help our technicians. They need to use our testing equipment, and there are some moving tasks. Please share the burden with them."

"Mr. Shen, this is what we should do. Don't worry." Mr. Yu said.

Engineer Yu is only a level 6, while Shen He is already a level 3 chief engineer.

In this life, Yu Gong probably won’t be able to catch up with Shen He even on horseback.

There is a word called "beyond reach".

Kang Zhengwen has already started assigning jobs, and all the technicians in the steel rolling mill have been requisitioned.

Of course they have no objection. How much can you learn from them?

No one wants to be a technician all his life.

At around 10 o'clock, people from the Ministry of Industry also arrived.

Looking at Shen He's people testing various minerals in an orderly manner, he nodded. He came to solve Shen He's problems. If there were any problems, he could tell him. The leader had already said that he would try his best to meet Shen He's experiments.

For this purpose, we contacted the slaughterhouse and a big fat pig will be delivered soon.

"Comrade Wu, this is the current situation. Our equipment is not good enough.

If I were given time, which would only take me two months, we could build a top-blown converter, and then we could make it even bigger."

"What? You... Engineer Shen, you're serious. You can build a top-blown converter? What's the success rate?"

"This thing doesn't require any technology. The technology has been made public in foreign countries a long time ago. I have read several detailed reports about Ding Chui. Give me two months. As long as the higher-ups cooperate, I will definitely be able to make it. I guarantee it." Shen He pointed to the badge on his chest.

When Comrade Wu learned about this, he did not dare to delay. He found an office at random, ran in, and called the Ministry of Industry directly from the phone inside.

He told the story about Shen He again.

This... the project that the Ministry of Industry and the Academy of Sciences have been researching, is there any progress now?

The Academy of Sciences is also confused. What is the point of what they have been researching for more than a year?

After hearing this, people from the Academy of Sciences and the Ministry of Industry quickly sent people to the steel mill.

For a moment, Director Yang and Li Huaide were happy and excited.

When people come, they need to be received, but where can we find so many things to receive them?

The good news is that if they leave some technology in the steel mill, the steel mill will definitely be the first to benefit.

Not stupid.

Two days passed, and the prepared materials were basically smelted. Looking at the various metal blocks on the side, everyone was excited.

The experiment is about to begin. If it succeeds here, it means it will be successful in other places as well.

After lunch in the afternoon, the experiment began.

Everyone wiped the oil from their mouths. They had been eating so much these past few days, eating meat and vegetables every day, and they were all so delicious.

It was after Shen He ate the dishes made by Sha Zhu in the cafeteria that he decisively called Master Xue from the research institute.

Although what Sha Zhu cooks is delicious, there is still some gap compared to Master Xue’s.

The head of the Ministry of Industry is also here. This is a historic moment, how could he not come?

Several reporters also came at the same time.

Shen He and several other reporters were taking pictures with their cameras to record this moment.

The head of the Ministry of Industry shouted with a loud speaker, "I declare that the trial production will begin now."

The switch was turned on and the metallurgical furnace began to heat up.

Chapter 235 Success

"Report, the coking coal has been put into operation."

"Report, the temperature has reached 1200 degrees."

"Report, the materials have been put in."

…………

Kang Zhengwen and his men accurately put the refined metal ingots into the metallurgical blast furnace.

After being heated into water here, the molten metal is then discharged into the converter.

In two days, Shen He had built a simple top-blowing device.

For some reason, not much oxygen is brought in.

Shen He watched from the side.

A group of leaders were on a high platform in the distance.

Secretary Guan also recorded the data in detail and arranged the next tasks and steps that needed to be prepared in an orderly manner.

After an hour of fire, the metal block has melted.

Then the discharge port is opened and the molten metal is poured into the converter.

It's almost like this

After pouring, start spraying oxygen.

The steel furnace became brighter.

With the addition of oxygen, the temperature rises instantly.

"Report, the temperature has reached 1850 degrees."

Secretary Guan calmly ordered, "Immediately throw in other metals."

"Yes.

Throw in other metal ingots."

Soon, the small metal parts were put in according to the proportion.

The experienced master craftsman stood on the top and stirred the molten metal a few times with a wooden stick.

These masters can tell the level of the molten steel at a glance.

However, testing is still necessary.

Take out a little from the material intake and start testing quickly.

"Report, the molten metal is qualified and can be tapped."

"Okay, steel out."

"The steel bar machine is ready to tap the first batch of steel bars immediately."

Orders were quickly passed down.

The good thing about a steel rolling mill is that it is small but has a lot of equipment.

Although they are not very good, they are better than nothing.

A pot of molten steel came out quickly and after a short while of solidification was lifted onto the extrusion line.

Here, the machine rotates, and slowly a very thick steel ingot is rotated and squeezed, and slowly becomes a very thin steel wire.

When the saw blade reaches the appropriate thickness, start pulling it out.

Make the cut.

Cut out a blank that is longer than the original blade.

These are all by design.
