Siheyuan: Me! He Yuzhu defies fate and changes destiny

Then he started the next round of research and development - after all, these submitted works have nothing to do with him except for the various awards they will bring in the future. Considering the current severe shortage of steel in the country, and even the lack of special steel materials, He Yuzhu plans to try the process of refining special steel - you know, there are many types of special steel.

He wanted to introduce and implement the top-blown oxygen converter steelmaking technology. After all, his current material mastery level has reached the eighth level and he is fully capable of doing it. Although the overall domestic power supply still needs to be strengthened, it seems a bit aggressive to adopt more advanced technology immediately; however, whether in the past or now, converter steelmaking technology is still in use, the only difference is the degree of continuous improvement.

Thinking of this, He Yuzhu began to write. He was very clear about the whole principle, which was to use oxygen as an oxidant to oxidize impurities in the ore such as silicon, manganese, carbon, phosphorus and other components.

A large amount of heat energy is generated during the oxidation process, which raises the temperature in the furnace to a very high level. This method can greatly reduce energy consumption. When it comes to the required equipment and technical details, he also knows them clearly - such as molten iron storage tanks, molten iron transport vehicles (shaped like torpedoes), molten iron buckets, scrap metal adding equipment, cranes, molten iron drying equipment, molten iron pretreatment facilities, as well as a series of components and systems such as material storage warehouses, conveyor belt feeding systems, furnace top feeding high-level warehouses and automated charging equipment.

He also wrote about safety measures, and he kept writing as his ideas flowed.

At the same time, while He Yuzhu was focusing on the research of smelting technology, Gu Zhiqiu had already brought a set of new technical information to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. After meeting Gu Zhiqiu, the Minister of Industry and Information Technology joked, "Hey! Gu the God of Wealth is here, what good things have you brought today?" Facing this leader, Gu Zhiqiu smiled and responded, "Hey, Minister Chen, what you said is right, this time I really brought you a treasure!" Minister Chen asked curiously: "What new stuff?"

Gu Zhiqiu immediately said: "It is a machine tool - a brand new series, a machine tool independently designed and produced in my country!"

Minister Chen's eyes widened immediately when he heard this: "Machine tool? Have you successfully developed it?" Gu Zhiqiu nodded proudly and said: "That's a must, self-developed and beyond the existing products on the market." Minister Chen was even more excited when he heard the news and asked: "Are you serious?" Gu Zhiqiu replied again affirmatively: "Of course, I dare not lie to you. I have brought all the relevant information and technology. How can I make such an international joke?"

After hearing this, Minister Chen hurried away, looking more anxious than usual. He did not show much interest in a good process as usual - like a hungry cat seeing a live mouse. At this time, Assistant Shen standing beside him said helplessly:

"Mr. Gu, you may not have heard of it. There is a foreign machine tool ordering ceremony being held at the Ministry of Commerce today. Since China lacks the technology to manufacture machine tools, it has chosen to purchase a large number of imported products from abroad. Your appearance brings great hope. If the technology you demonstrate is correct, it will directly save a lot of foreign exchange resources. Because our own foreign exchange is already in short supply, so..."

Gu Zhiqiu suddenly realized what Shen said and said, "That's true. Now we have domestically produced advanced machine tools and don't need to rely on foreigners' faces."

Upon hearing this, Shen Mi also nodded in agreement: "That's right, with our own production capabilities, we are no longer subject to the control of others."

Then Gu Zhiqiu smiled and said, "It seems that you have picked up a treasure." Secretary Shen looked at him in confusion, "Why do you say that?" His eyes revealed a questioning look. However, Gu did not give a detailed answer and only said, "Wait until Minister Chen comes back." Sure enough, not long after, Minister Chen and his colleagues rushed back to the reception room and said to Gu Zhiqiu:

"God of Wealth, come here and talk to me about your machine tools!"

Gu Zhiqiu signaled his subordinates to hand over the relevant information and said:

"Look, this is the result of our research team!"

Minister Chen looked at the data in his hand and clearly understood the meaning of these parameters; even if he could not actually operate them, he was very clear about the value and level of these data internationally. After reading the contents of the document, he asked in surprise:

“Are the data in the report correct?”

Gu Zhiqiu was stunned when he heard this question. In fact, he was not familiar with the technical details. When he saw the equipment, he believed that the technology should be mature and stable. However, he did not understand much about the digital indicators, but the equipment functions were indeed powerful.

But the data part is still unfathomable to him.

Even so, Gu Zhiqiu responded confidently:

"Of course, I also tried the machine. You know I'm short on engineering skills. I can't even get a first-class technician. I can only tinker with it. But the parts I made myself performed almost as well as the top technicians after testing!"

Minister Chen seemed very surprised and asked:

"Is this credible?"

Gu Zhiqiu was very confident about this and felt there was no need to lie.

There are not many people nationwide who can meet the standards of an eighth-level technician, but there are many experts at the sixth and seventh levels.

Assuming that this technology is really so effective, the difficulty of producing precision parts will be greatly reduced, which will undoubtedly be a great supplement to the country's needs.

Thinking of this, he immediately said:

"Okay. If everything is true, I will help you apply for meritorious service!"

Gu Zhiqiu smiled modestly:

"You know my role is just a figurehead. The actual research results are attributed to the researchers in our laboratory, and I am just coordinating the work."

Then Minister Chen said that we cannot talk too much about the specific contents of the institute. Then he asked Gu Zhiqiu:

“Did you bring the finished product?”

After receiving the affirmation, Minister Chen stood up:

"Let's go! Don't waste time and try it!"

Then he instructed his assistant:

"Xiao Shen, please gather two or three technicians who have reached level five or six standards (for example, machine tool operators, molding technicians, and mechanical repairmen)."

The secretary agreed:

"Understood!"

Just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by the minister.

"Also please call some interns and juniors over here!"

The secretary was stunned for a moment and then agreed:

"Row!"

Generally speaking, industrial departments do not have low-level employee resources, only senior technicians. However, since the boss has made this request, it must be completed even if it means calling on resources from external units!

Then, while Assistant Shen was making arrangements, the director contacted the trial installation site and started assembling it immediately.

After the assembly process was quickly completed, everyone gathered around the brand new machines.

Looking at the new machine, Minister Chen exclaimed: "Very good. Are all the people here?"

One staff member reported:

"Leader, because we just gave Secretary Shen an order and considering the time it takes for him to go back and forth, we currently don't have any technical personnel here."

"Haha," Minister Chen said with a smile, "Brother Gu, please don't laugh at me for being too eager for quick success."

Gu Zhiqiu nodded to show his understanding, said nothing more, and waited for changes.

"Indeed, I was even more anxious than you were at the time. As soon as I got the news, I immediately rushed over with the information and equipment."

Minister Chen smiled and said:

"That's great! If it had been a little later, who knows how many good things those foreigners would have taken away. Fortunately, you are here. I have replaced the person in charge of foreign trade. It only takes two days to verify the capabilities of these machine tools, and we will no longer be controlled by others!"

Hearing Minister Chen's words, Gu Zhiqiu was also very excited. He knew very well the difficulties facing the motherland now. It would be gratifying if we could be self-reliant and not rely on others.

Soon, all the workers arrived. Each worker with a level 5 or 6 technical level held a level 7 or 8 workpiece design in his hand. Minister Chen said to them:

"Come on, one by one, try to make this workpiece!" However, no one took action. Minister Chen repeated, "Do it?"

One of them said:

"Leader, we only have level 5 or 6 skills, and we are given level 7 or 8 workpiece tasks. We can't complete them with our current capabilities!"

Minister Chen replied:

"I know it in my heart. I'm not trying to embarrass you on purpose. This is just to test the capabilities of the new machine. As long as you try your best and operate according to your existing skills, it's not your fault if you fail."

After hearing this, the workers put aside their worries and started to operate. Seeing them start, Minister Chen anxiously waited for the results. Only through practice can we verify whether this new equipment is really so powerful. As time passed, the experimental results soon came out. An engineer held the result data in his hand, and his voice was trembling with excitement.

Minister Chen couldn't wait to ask:

"What's the situation? Tell me now!"

The engineer said excitedly:

"Leader, I can't believe it! Level 6 technicians can successfully complete level 7 and level 8 workpiece tasks with a 100% success rate; level 5 technicians can also accurately handle level 7 tasks, also with a 100% pass rate, and level 8 workpiece completion is 95%. The last 5% of products are not completely unusable, they just have some minor defects!"

This result shocked the entire industry!

Minister Chen was surprised and asked, "Can you repeat it again?"

The technician calmed down a bit and reported again: "Level 6 technicians have a 100% success rate for level 7 and level 8 work parts; level 5 technicians also have a 100% success rate for level 7 tasks, and as for level 8 workpieces, 95% of them are perfect. The remaining 5% of products only have some flaws, not completely defective!"
