Siheyuan: Laoliu's blessing to create the strongest life

"You guys in the political department always talk about your thoughts and positions. If the department lets you make decisions, it will be a mess. Now that Comrade Li Jianxun has made such a great contribution, you still talk about your thoughts and positions. You'd better not do technology in the future."

Seeing that the people below were about to start a quarrel due to disagreements, Secretary Zhao slammed the table to get everyone to quiet down.

"Stop yelling. You yell when I ask you to do something, and you yell when I ask you to discuss something. What else can you do besides yelling?"

When Secretary Zhao got angry, the people below immediately lowered their heads and dared not speak anymore.

"I have decided that the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill will be officially upgraded to a second-class mill. The coal mill, parts factory, steel mill, etc. in the urban area will be merged into the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, and the staffing will also be moved there."

"All the former senior leaders of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill have been promoted to the next level. At the same time, Comrade Li Jianxun will serve as the chief engineer and deputy technical director of the mill, specifically responsible for the technology and experimental base."

"Comrade Li Jianxun requested that the experimental base be listed as a national second-level laboratory. Li Jianxun will be directly responsible for it. All matters will be reported directly to Li Junzi and me, and the financial allocation will be from the Ministry of Industry."

Secretary Zhao sorted out his thoughts, took a breath and continued:

"There is also a personal reward for Li Jianxun. Comrade Li Jianxun will be rewarded: 1. Promoted to the seventh-level engineer (two levels in a row), as an exception; 2. A National Excellent Engineer Medal; 3. A jeep, a cash reward of 1000 yuan, and some bills."

"Let's draft it like this. Send it to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and have it broadcast on the factory's publicity department's radio station. Also, draw a unified line for the rewards for others, don't make them too high or too low. I won't get involved if you guys decide on this."

When Li Junzi saw that Secretary Zhao made the decision directly, she immediately felt relieved.

The reward Li Jianxun received this time was quite big. His administrative level, position, status, honors, money, and even a jeep were promoted.

Of course, these are far from what the senior leader said.

Li Jianxun doesn't even know that he has been promoted and made a fortune. He is still assembling a 450 continuous rolling mill in the steel mill!

No matter how powerful the oxygen top and bottom blown converter steelmaking method is, it is also a steelmaking technology and a foundation. It must be combined with a continuous rolling mill to achieve maximum energy efficiency.

Fortunately, the 450 continuous rolling mill presented no technical difficulties for him. Within ten days or so, with the help of existing workers and technicians, the test machine was immediately successful.

Wang Hengjian and other engineers and technicians were curious when they saw Li Jianxun busy there, so they gathered around to watch.

"Xiao Li, is this the steel rolling mill you developed? Why is it different from what I've seen before?"

Wang Hengjian saw the structure and asked.

Others also had questions and waited curiously for Li Jianxun's answer.

"Mr. Wang, this is a continuous rolling mill, not the traditional steel rolling mill that requires manual operation throughout the process."

"It can complete the entire process of steel rolling quickly and continuously, and can roll steel ingots, steel plates, steel bars, steel blocks, etc., without the need for manual control."

"And according to my calculations, the speed at which it rolls steel can just match the speed at which the new steelmaking furnace produces molten steel."

Chapter 107: Admiration from all engineers

What Li Jianxun said here is unremarkable, but it is very difficult to perfectly match these new technologies and new machines.

At this moment, Wang Hengjian suddenly thought of a terrible fact.

"Xiao Li, is converter steelmaking just your first step? Is this 450 continuous rolling mill your second step?"

"Haha, Mr. Wang, you are half right. There are not only the first and second steps, I also have a third step, which is the metal machine tool for processing special metals."

"It's just that the conditions are not met yet. When the conditions are right in the future, I will develop special metal processing machine tools."

"In this way, the three machines work perfectly together and operate perfectly, forming a trinity effect, and the special metals needed for national defense and high-end equipment will no longer need to be imported from foreign countries."

Wang Hengjian and everyone else gasped.

Think ten steps ahead before taking one step?

What's wrong with Li Jianxun's brain?

So terrifying?

It's ridiculous that while they are still feeling complacent about participating in the first step of research and development, others have already completed the second step and even taken the third step.

At this time, everyone felt deeply ashamed of their arrogance when they first arrived.

It turns out that I and others are not on the same level at all.

In other words, Li Jianxun didn't take them seriously, which was really embarrassing.

"Okay, assembly is complete, now I'm going to turn on the machine and try it out."

Li Jianxun exhaled a breath and wiped the sweat from his head.

Then, Li Jianxun skillfully turned on the power, adjusted various indicators, and pressed the switch.

"Boom, boom, boom~~"

The 450 continuous rolling mill started to run smoothly and all data were running normally.

Under Li Jianxun's operation, the red-hot steel block was pushed into the inlet of the continuous rolling mill by an automatic rod.

The steel block moves and deforms rapidly in the machine. In just over ten seconds, it is turned into a steel plate under the squeezing of four rollers.

Then, it was slowly spit out.

Then, the next piece of steel starts to go in and the cycle repeats.

"Is this, done?"

Wang Hengjian witnessed everything, which completely shattered his concept.

In the past, a team would use machines in cooperation with each other to beat steel into ingots or steel plates.

Now, if a continuous rolling mill is used, one person can operate it independently, and the speed is extremely fast.

Wang Hengjian watched Li Jianxun operate the rolling mill and switch it back to steel plate rolling mode.

After the steel block goes in, it takes only a dozen seconds to be rolled into a steel plate about two centimeters thick and then pulled out quickly like cloth strips from a spinning machine.

"Xiao Li, how many meters of steel plates of this thickness can this rolling mill produce in one minute?"

"If we don't consider the problem of filling steel, we can reach 600 to 700 meters per minute under full load."

Li Jianxun thought for a moment and continued:

"The production efficiency has been improved by eight to ten times compared to traditional production methods. Of course, this is not without disadvantages. The disadvantage is that it cannot be rolled too thin, otherwise it will be brittle and easy to break."

"I will make improvements to this problem and strive to achieve the 0.2 cm level."

Everyone in the audience was stunned for a long time after hearing what Li Jianxun said.

Is it really necessary to be so ruthless to increase production efficiency by eight to ten times?

Others have increased their income by several percent or at most doubled it, but you went straight to the minimum of eight times.

The thickness of the steel plate is at the level of 0.2 cm. Is it really that abnormal?

The most advanced steel rolling technology in the old countries can only reach 0.2 centimeters, and you have to catch up.

"Xiao Li, to be honest, after meeting you today, I finally understood what it means that there are always people who are better than you. I, Wang Hengjian, have never been defeated by anyone in mechanical engineering manufacturing, but today I am defeated."

"Mr. Wang is right. I was too arrogant before. I thought I was the best in my small factory. Now I know that technology has no boundaries. I am convinced."

"I originally thought that this trip was for research and development, but I didn't know that this trip was for learning. I have gained a lot in the past half month. I have to digest it carefully when I return."

"Me too, not only have I gained technical skills, but I have also made progress in my thinking. In the past, my thinking was constrained in the factory. After the guidance of Section Chief Li, I feel that I have a goal again."

These people talked to each other, and their tone was full of respect.

In terms of technology, there is no seniority, only the most capable ones can be the teachers.

At this time, the steel mill's broadcast also sounded.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo, leaders and fellow workers, now is an urgent announcement before we get off work."

"The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill was officially upgraded from a third-level factory to a second-level factory..."

"Director Yang will continue to serve as the factory director, and Li Huaide, Zhang Huaizhi, and Tang Jingmin will be promoted to deputy factory directors, in charge of..."

"Comrade Li Jianxun, the former head of the technical section, overcame difficulties and obstacles and gave full play to the spirit of hard work. He has now mastered the oxygen top and bottom combined blowing converter steelmaking technology, which has greatly improved steelmaking efficiency and brought great benefits to the country."

"Now, with the approval of the superior leaders and the Ministry of Industry, Comrade Li Jianxun is promoted to deputy director of the steel rolling mill and chief engineer of the steel rolling mill, in charge of technology and experimental bases. At the same time, Comrade Li Jianxun is appointed as the director of the laboratory, directly managed by the Ministry of Industry."

"With the approval of the superior leaders and the Ministry of Industry, Comrade Li Jianxun is awarded an Outstanding Engineer Medal and promoted from a Grade 9 Engineer to a Grade 7 Engineer as an exception. Comrade Li Jianxun is also awarded 1,000 yuan, various bills, and a jeep."

In the Propaganda Department, Yu Haitang was reading the manuscript with excitement.

The name that haunted her dreams appeared again, and she could hardly control herself.

In just half a month, he developed a technology that shocked his superiors and was awarded the Medal of Outstanding Engineer.

In terms of status, he was promoted to deputy factory director and chief engineer at a young age, holding an extraordinary position.

There is also the salary. The salary plus the engineer subsidy is definitely more than 200 yuan.

How can I spend more than 200 yuan? I can't even eat this much if I eat meat every day.

That’s not all, they even have a jeep.

In the past, Director Yang was the only one in the factory who was qualified to ride in a jeep, and he looked very impressive when he went in and out.

"Haitang, Haitang, hurry up and broadcast this one, the leaders of the Ministry of Industry require that it be broadcast now."

The head of the Propaganda Department ran over, sweating profusely, shouting loudly.

When Yu Haitang took it and looked at it, her pupils contracted sharply and her hands trembled a little.

She calmed herself down, turned on the receiver and began to read:

"Hoohoo, hoohoo, dear leaders and fellow workers, at the request of the head of the Ministry of Industry, we are now interrupting with another broadcast."

"The senior leaders highly evaluated and praised Comrade Li Jianxun's work ability and ideological attitude. We hereby approve the national daily newspapers to publicize Comrade Li Jianxun's glorious deeds. The senior leaders call on everyone to learn from Comrade Li Jianxun."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire steel mill was instantly swept up in a wave of thunder and lightning, erupting with a sound even more violent than before, so loud that it seemed to break the roof of the steel mill.

In the eyes of these workers, this is not only an honor for Li Jianxun, but also an honor for the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

From now on, they will have something to brag about when they go out.

Chapter 108 Li Jianxun causes a frenzy at the steel mill

"Did you hear that? Section Chief Li is really capable. How long has he been here? He has become the deputy director and chief engineer."

"What's Section Chief Li? From now on, he should be called Deputy Director Li or Chief Engineer Li. His name is now directly registered with the Ministry of Industry. From what I heard on the radio, it seems that Chief Engineer Li's name is also registered at the top."

"If you ask me, if you want to have a son, you should have one like Li Jianxun. Look at him, he is in his twenties, and he has accomplished everything he does. He even won the medal for outstanding engineer. This medal sounds impressive."

"I don't know if this medal is very powerful or not, but I know that no one has ever had a senior leader personally say that they should learn from Comrade Li Jianxun. What a great honor this is. If I could get such a sentence, I would be willing to die now."

"This is also earned by their own strength. Do you have that strength? He was promoted directly from level 9 engineer to level 7, which is an exception. It shows that Chief Engineer Li has made a great contribution this time. I am really worried that Director Li will be transferred. If he is transferred, we may not be able to eat meat in the future."

"Yes, I don't want Chief Engineer Li to be transferred either. Chief Engineer Li is very capable and kind. Last time I greeted him, he smiled back and asked me how I was doing in the factory. Oh, I was so touched at that moment. I have never been respected so much by a leader before!"

"Well, you know, Chief Engineer Li was rewarded 1,000 yuan and there are so many bills. How is Chief Engineer Li going to spend it? His salary is already high, and with the bonus, I'm really envious. And what about that jeep? I wonder what it feels like to sit in it?"

The factory was bustling with activity for a while. The workers stopped doing their work and gathered in groups of three or five to discuss things, all focusing on Li Jianxun.

Unknowingly, Li Jianxun's prestige had completely overshadowed Director Yang and his colleagues.

When someone praises you, naturally there will be people who are jealous and people who scold you.

When Sha Zhu heard that Li Jianxun had become so successful, he still expressed his dissatisfaction.

"What's the big deal? You can be so proud of yourself for making some achievements. No matter how good you are at technology, you can't cook, right? I am the successor of Tan's cuisine. I am just experiencing a slight setback now. One day, I will surpass you and make Sister Qin revolve around me."

In the workshop, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong heard it, and they had different thoughts.

"Chief Engineer Li is really amazing. He can be praised by the leaders and the leaders of the Ministry of Industry. He is worthy of being the person that I, Liu Haizhong, will follow. If someone like Xu Damao can join the labor dispute team by following Chief Engineer Li, then I must be the team leader right away. If I join, I must establish my authority over the workers."

Liu Haizhong kept fantasizing, he seemed to have seen himself becoming the team leader of the labor dispute team, looking majestic and powerful.

Yi Zhonghai became secretly nervous, he knew that the current Li Jianxun was no longer someone he could deal with.

Especially in the factory, he was no match for Li Jianxun no matter what.

He began to change his mind at this time. As long as Li Jianxun did not threaten his position in the hospital, he decided to maintain a foreign policy of peaceful coexistence.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to provoke Li Jianxun again, but Jia Dongxu couldn't do that. He was easily impulsive and couldn't see the situation clearly.

Jia Dongxu blamed all his current sufferings on Li Jianxun. He believed that his current miserable situation was caused by Li Jianxun.

"You're on the radio, right? You're a technician, right? If I can't beat you in public, can I beat you in private?"

"When you find a partner, don't blame me for being ruthless. If you provoke me, I will make you regret it for the rest of your life. I will ruin your reputation."

Jia Dongxu said angrily while sweeping the toilet.

Li Jianxun's achievement made him jealous, and the joy of stealing thirty parts today was diluted a lot.
