Siheyuan Great Craftsmen

As the gate slowly opened, two cars drove straight into the Red Star Bayi Machinery Factory.

After receiving the news, Zhou Tian hurriedly left the workshop with his secretary Liu Yuan and came to the downstairs of the office building, waiting for the arrival of Mr. Tang and others.

When Zhou Tian saw two jeeps approaching slowly, his expression straightened. He stared at the cars that stopped beside them and was about to go towards them.

But the car door opened instantly, and Mr. Tang and Zhang Yu walked out of the car with smiles on their faces.

The moment they saw Zhou Tian, ​​their eyes lit up. Elder Tang stepped forward, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"My God, you have brought us a big surprise this time. But seriously, have you really completed the design of the oxygen top-blown converter?"

It was no wonder that Mr. Tang had doubts. Although he understood that since Zhou Tian had already reported it, it must be true, he still felt like he was in a dream.

The truth is that they have been studying oxygen top-blown converters for several years, and many experts and scholars have not been able to produce any results, and even the specific structure of oxygen top-blown converters has not been sorted out. However, Zhou Tian designed the oxygen top-blown converter in just ten days, which really made him unbelievable.

"Mr. Tang, I have indeed completed the design. I just want to build an oxygen top-blown converter, but there is still a problem!"

Zhou Tian naturally understood the deep meaning of Tang Lao's words, but he didn't care. In fact, when he first finished designing the oxygen top-blown converter, he also thought about whether he designed it too quickly, which would inevitably give people a sense of frivolity or evil. But after thinking it over again and again, he gave up the idea of ​​hiding his shortcomings.

Although hiding one's incompetence is a good thing at certain times, it also depends on the timing. Now that he is the director of the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory, he needs to demonstrate his abilities. If he continues to hide his incompetence at this time, it may backfire.

Although he was not clear about the trade-offs that went into promoting him to the deputy department level, he understood that there must have been many people who opposed it.

It seems that the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory launched an agricultural machinery project as soon as it started operating. Agricultural machinery may be a good thing for the people, but for those senior leaders, it may not be enough.

This is also the reason why he took out all the design drawings of the combine harvester and tractor. After all, the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory really needed several major projects to prove the correctness of his superiors' vision.

The tractor and combine harvester are Zhou Tian’s powerful proof of the above.

At this time, he was given a task to study the oxygen top-blown converter. He himself would not believe that there was no mystery in it.

So in order to prove his ability, he naturally needs to go all out.

"Problem? What problem? Tell me now!"

Hearing Zhou Tian say this, Mr. Tang and Zhang Yu's faces suddenly changed slightly, their hearts skipped a beat, and they hurriedly asked.

"Mr. Tang, big boss, why don't we go back to the office first? I'm afraid it's not convenient here!"

Seeing the changes in the two people's expressions, Zhou Tian did not panic, but looked around and suggested.

Although the Bayi Red Star Machinery Factory can be considered a semi-military unit, no one can guarantee that there are no enemy spies here. The oxygen top-blown converter is related to a transformation of domestic heavy industry, so naturally more attention needs to be paid.

"Well, okay, let's go to your office!"

When the two heard Zhou Tian's words, they became alert instantly. They did not dare to delay and walked towards the fifth floor under Zhou Tian's guidance.

Arriving at the factory director's office, Liu Yuan poured a cup of tea for each of them and then walked out.

After Liu Yuan left, Mr. Tang and Zhang Yu became impatient.

"Xiaotian, follow up on what you just said. Tell us what the problem is so we can see if we can solve it."

At this time, Mr. Tang had no intention of drinking tea at all and asked anxiously.

"That's right, Xiaotian, tell me quickly, what is missing?"

Zhang Yu also asked, the oxygen top-blown converter project is a national key project, if it really cannot be solved, they don't mind reporting to higher-level leaders for help.

"Mr. Tang, senior leader, please don't worry. Maybe I have expressed it incorrectly. In fact, this problem is not particularly difficult. It is just that under the current industrial level of our country, there are indeed certain difficulties!"

Seeing how anxious the two were, Zhou Tian knew that perhaps they had misunderstood what he had just said, so he hurriedly explained.

"Xiaotian, you really scared me and the minister. Let's not waste any more time talking nonsense and talk about the difficulties!"

Hearing Zhou Tian say this, Zhang Yu and Mr. Tang finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not a particularly difficult matter, they would still be able to ensure the normal progress of the oxygen top-blown converter project.

"Minister, great leader, there is actually only one problem, and that is the shortage of refractory materials!"

Zhou Tian said this without further ado and stated the difficult question.

"Although I have given several formulas for refractory materials, as long as they can be successfully developed, they will be enough to meet the construction requirements of oxygen top-blown converters. However, according to the current industrial level of our country, it will take a certain amount of time to manufacture these refractory materials!"

"Refractory?"

After hearing Zhou Tian's words, Mr. Tang and Zhang Yu could not help but look at each other. They worked in the Ministry of Industry and naturally knew that refractory materials were indispensable for all steelmaking furnaces. Could it be that with the existing refractory materials in our country, it was impossible to build an oxygen top-blown converter?

"Oh my god, can't the existing refractory materials be used?"

Mr. Tang couldn't help but ask.

“Mr. Tang, it’s not that it can’t be used. It’s just that if we use the existing refractory materials, it may shorten the service life of the oxygen top-blown converter!”

Zhou Tian said truthfully.

"And most importantly, it will also affect the steelmaking efficiency and steel quality of the oxygen top-blown converter!"

"I see!"

After listening to Zhou Tian's explanation, Mr. Tang and Zhang Yu couldn't help but nod.

"What about your refractory material formula? If not, then quickly make the refractory material according to your formula!"

Since the existing materials are not effective, we can only develop new refractory materials.

"I have asked Song Weiguo to send the formula of the refractory material to the military factory. Now we can only wait for the refractory material to be manufactured before we can start the construction of the oxygen top-blown converter!"

Zhou Tian heard Zhang Yu's question and quickly answered. Then he took out a stack of oxygen top-blown converter design drawings from the drawer and handed them to the two of them:

"Mr. Tang, big boss, this is my design drawing of the oxygen top-blown converter. I was originally planning to hand it over to you two tomorrow. Now that you two are here, I can save myself the trip!"

The two took the design drawings handed over by Zhou Tian and looked at the thick stack in surprise.

"so much!"

Especially when they thought about the fact that Zhou Tian drew so many design drawings in just ten days, the workload was so intense that the two of them could feel how intense Zhou Tian's work was during this period.

When they looked at Zhou Tian, ​​their eyes revealed an expression of both heartache and guilt.

The truth is that they knew too well the reason why they had given this project to Zhou Tian in the first place. Thinking about it now, they felt fortunate on the one hand, but also a little annoyed on the other.

Zhou Tian, ​​however, felt uncomfortable with the strange looks from the two men and couldn't help asking, "Mr. Tang, big boss, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with me?"

"No, there's nothing wrong. But Xiaotian, you're still young. Listen to my advice. Don't work so hard in the future. As the saying goes, health is the capital of revolution. You are not just a technician now, but also a helmsman. You just need to control the general direction and don't exhaust yourself!"

After hearing Zhou Tian's question, Mr. Tang and Zhang Yu finally realized that maybe the look in their eyes just now had caused Zhou Tian to misunderstand, and Zhang Yu couldn't help but persuade him.
