Chapter 51 Top-blown Oxygen Converter

In the evening, Yi Zhonghai took Jia Dongxu to Wang Youfu's house. Yi Ping'an returned to the cross-courtyard. Thinking about the workpiece he had processed today and the material, to be honest, he was a little speechless.

Yi Ping'an had always used special steel before, so he had never paid attention to these things. He knew that they would be worse than those in later generations, but he didn't expect them to be so much worse. He only discovered this during processing in the workshop these two days.

Yi Ping'an fell into deep thought: He remembered that at this time in his previous life, the oxygen converter steelmaking method had already been patented internationally and published in magazines, and the country was also already researching this technology.

In 62, Shougang successfully developed a 3-ton converter, but it was not until 64 that two 30-ton converters were built, which took nearly ten years.

The steel produced by this technology is most suitable for cold-rolled steel plates, especially thin plates, and hard steel can also be produced by controlling oxygen.

Thinking of this, Yi Pingan couldn't sleep and went straight into the space. In the space, he began to draw the blueprint of the oxygen top-blown converter according to his memory, and revised it, and came out after it was finished.

The next day at work, Yi Ping'an went directly to the steelmaking workshop. The workers in the workshop were a little surprised to see him, but they didn't ask. Who knows what's going on in the minds of these intellectuals?

Yi Ping'an looked at the steelmaking furnace in the workshop. As expected, it was an open-hearth furnace, and a side-blown one. Yi Ping'an left after the look.

He went directly to see Secretary Chen and asked to use the jeep as he needed to go back to school.

Secretary Chen agreed at that time. His attitude towards Yi Ping'an now is that he can do whatever he wants and he will never stop him.

I drove all the way to the Industrial College. This time I finally didn't suffer. That was great. If I could make myself comfortable within my ability, why should I suffer? I'm not a masochist.

Yi Ping'an found Wang Guodong, told his idea to the teacher, and took out the blueprint he drew last night. Wang Guodong understood materials but was not good at it. But it didn't matter. Does the school still need people?

I took him to see Professor Zhou who teaches materials science. After explaining their purpose, Professor Zhou locked the door and they began to discuss the issue in Professor Zhou's office.

“Ping An, I have studied this technology with Shougang before, but not to the level of detail you have.

To be exact, we also started our research after reading theoretical knowledge in foreign magazines. We didn’t expect that you have already developed mature technology. What are your plans?”

Professor Zhou became more and more excited as he spoke. If this technology becomes popular, then my country's steel production will not just be a matter of doubling, it will directly take off, right?

"Teacher Zhou, I also accidentally saw the theory in a magazine, but I didn't pay much attention to it before. This time, because of the problem with the engine, I needed to use special steel, so I wanted to study it.

My idea is to first build a small converter in the steel rolling mill. If the experiment is successful, we can build a big one. After all, we are still in the theoretical stage.

We can't take too big a step, and the most difficult thing here is refractory materials, which I don't know where to find. What do you think?" Yi Pingan replied.

"I'll take care of the refractory materials. When do you plan to start building? I want to participate in the research." Professor Zhou was a little embarrassed, afraid that Yi Ping'an would think he wanted to take credit. After all, he already had the drawings, and the materials would surely be found as long as he reported them.

"No problem. Teacher Zhou, I welcome your participation. And you know, although I have studied materials science, it is still too superficial compared to your major."

Yi Ping'an didn't think it was a big deal. Bringing these powerful people in was a kind of protection for him.

They acted immediately and split up. Professor Zhou went to look for materials, Yi Ping'an went back to the factory to write a report, and Wang Guodong helped contact talents in other areas.

For Wang Guodong, he really didn't expect that his students would be so capable, but a tree stands out in the forest, and he can't stop his students, so he decided to turn the tree into a forest.

At their level, everyone they know is a leader in the industry. If anyone really tries to trip up their students, it will be up to me whether I can stop them or not.

The academic school is so protective of its people, but Yi Ping'an doesn't know it now. He was never so powerful in his previous life and can't even think of these things. Environment shapes people. In the previous life, our people were protected too simply.

Yi Ping'an returned to the steel mill and reported directly to Secretary Chen. Secretary Chen said, "This is a good thing, although I will definitely not be able to keep the person."

But if he wants to do it, I can't stop him. Project research must be carried out from beginning to end. But what does this have to do with me? I didn't force him.

Secretary Chen applied for the approval very happily, and said that as long as there was a need, people could come to him and he would provide them with people and space. The funds were also approved. The steel mill is not short of money now. Compared with similar steel mills, he is now a big customer.

Everything was in place. Professor Zhou also arrived at the steel rolling mill, bringing his favorite student, Wang Guodong, with him, and Yi Ping'an brought Shao Dongyang.

Secretary Chen also transferred several master chefs from various workshops, including Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. These workers were led by Ma Weiguo himself, and they started a new round of busy work next to the previous steelmaking workshop.

The plan was to build a small 3-ton converter. The components on the drawings had already been disassembled and assigned to their respective master craftsmen.

Except for Yi Ping'an, Professor Zhou and Wang Guodong, no one else can see the overall drawings. It must be kept confidential. This is because Yi Ping'an also added a waste gas recovery and reuse device, which is currently world-leading.

Yi Pingan's initial idea was that he did not want to see black smoke coming out of the chimneys. He did not want to wait until the environment was damaged before taking measures to control it, which would not only be costly but also expensive.

But this idea made him take it to a higher level. When Professor Zhou saw this technology, he was stunned, and then he was ecstatic.

As a prophet, Yi Ping'an only knew the approximate time and had no idea of ​​the specific time point, which led to the current situation.

The group of people in this workshop can be said to go out early and come back late, working overtime. What makes Yi Ping'an admire even more is the enthusiasm of these people. They really have the spirit of an iron man, even though the iron man himself has not appeared yet.

I have to say that although Liu Haizhong is not a good person, his skills are really good. When he swings the sledgehammer, sparks fly. It is really relaxing to watch. You can doubt his character, but you can't doubt his skills. He is really a man of many faces.

After more than three months of hard work, the small converter was finally completed in mid-September.

The master chef in the steelmaking workshop personally tested the furnace. Factory leaders including Secretary Chen, Lou Bancheng, Deputy Director Nie, Deputy Director Yang, and Li Huaide were also on site to watch the test results.

When the first batch of steel ingots came out, Professor Zhou couldn't wait to take them for testing. Yi Ping'an also asked Ma Weiguo to take a piece and try it on the rolling mill. The result shocked everyone. This was special steel.

This is a result that no one expected. At first, everyone just thought that the output would increase, but they didn't expect that the quality could also be improved so much.

Secretary Chen immediately ordered the security department to impose martial law and no one was allowed to leave the scene. He then asked Deputy Director Yang to report to the department, saying that the matter was too serious and he could not handle it.

Yi Ping'an also took a piece of steel ingot to test it. It can be said that he was the calmest one at the scene. In his eyes, this could not reach the level of special steel in later generations, which was the general level of fine steel in later generations. But in this era, it was already considered special steel.

Alas! Let others improve slowly for the rest. As a steel power in the future, Yi Pingan never doubted the brains of the flower-growing family. They were half a pound heavier than those of Westerners.
