In the past few days, the experimental area of the Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant has been hung with big red flowers, the testers and workers have taken the bonus, and the squad leader of the front-line operation room has taken 120 silver dollars, and has exchanged 200 copper coins from the China Resources, which are densely piled on the table, which is very spectacular.

"Oha Heian."

"Yes! Here it is! There is also brother, my surname is He, He Ping'an! ”

"Oh, you're still careful. Come and sign and press your handprint, do you take more silver dollars or more copper coins? ”

"Money, money looks like a lot, my mother lives a fine life. Fold two silver dollars and save them. ”

"Don't lose it, here, sign, can write, hey, it's pretty good......"

"Thank you, brother."

Pressing the handprint, the lean but energetic Khitan laborer took off the towel around his neck, wiped his face, and hurriedly wrapped two silver dollars, and then a bag of Kaiyuan Tongbao.

"Don't count?"

"Oh, yes. Thank you, brother. ”

He Ping'an hurriedly carried a bunch of money there and counted it slowly. Five years ago, he couldn't even count a hundred, and he was a herdsman of the Ogabu. After the Khitan people were slapped on the ground by Zhang Gongjin and Li Ko for a small abacus, they have been slumped ever since, coupled with Hebei's higher and higher requirements for labor, and Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, the Khitan low-level slaves who had no way out but to die can be regarded as having survived.

Of course, it is also a hard time, but for He Ping'an, he has survived.

Originally, he worked as a coking coal worker in Shicheng Iron and Steel Plant, because he was willing to endure hardships, and later followed Wang Taishi's students to Hebei, and then to Wuhan.

After almost tossing and turning, he felt that he lived more like a human being in Wuhan, so he asked the squad leader, who was also a Khitan, to help pick up the old lady who was still feeding livestock in the Hebei pasture.

"Oh, He Erlang, you just saved up a big mansion and came out."

"It's all lifted by the brothers, hehe......"

"Come, take it."

"What?"

"Tickets, there is beef in the canteen at night, not much, you have to be a squad leader or above to play with a ticket."

An old brother in Leng Zuojian smiled and handed over a ticket. This is a Dengzhou man, obviously taller and stronger than others, his two arms are like two iron pillars, and under the dark skin, the blood vessels bulge there, which is amazing.

"Brother, if you don't make it, you won't make it, you won't make ......"

". What's wrong, I had a cold last time, and I didn't have an aunt to take care of it, so I don't know what to do. Take it! ”

"Hey, thank you, brother."

The atmosphere for receiving the prize was excellent, and the test area did not prevent outsiders from coming to watch, but it was separated by a wooden fence. On one side are the muscular and dark-skinned steel mill workers, and on the other side, there are all kinds of people watching the excitement. In the old years, some elderly people came to see the heat, but now it is very different, there are often matchmakers from the "marriage agency" waiting there, and from time to time they write down which man is not married and is willing to endure hardships and be capable.

Of course, it is not that there are no foreign heroes who are bold enough to be ruthless and directly grab the bonuses of these workers. It's just that they often come up, and they can't chop them to death in vain, and the workers themselves carry iron rods and steel rods to beat these gangsters who don't know whether they are alive or dead......

The reason why I didn't kill him was that it was a troublesome thing to have a lawsuit here in Wuhan, and everyone was afraid of trouble, so he made a half-dead account. Anyway, as long as it is not framed and dares to come here to provoke strongmen, there is no one who will not be sentenced to exile. He was injured and exiled, and he often died on the road, with little chance to turn the book.

After the celebration banquet of Hanyang Iron and Steel Plant, Zhang De was also very happy, and at the same time, it was equivalent to a symposium, and they chatted casually.

"Therefore, the ideas of some workers also need to be considered. The worker does not necessarily understand all the principles, but he has experience and care, and he can observe the phenomena and then write them down. And these phenomena are the answers we need to find, and then we will study the principles in turn. We must not only be ashamed to ask, but also make progress together. ”

"Observation, I think the method I tried earlier is still good. However, why does the use of Tianzhu iron material have an effect, and the use of this subway mine, it will not work? ”

"The truth behind this is actually very simple."

Zhang De picked up a walnut on the fruit plate, used his fingers, and after crushing it, he said while picking up the meat, "The reason why the earlier method didn't work was that the quality of the iron ore was not good. Why not? The sulfur and phosphorus content is too high, and the final material is not only brittle, but also porous. ”

"I see......"

"Why is Tianzhu iron good? Because it is not only low in sulfur and phosphorus, but also quite low, and high in manganese, it is naturally easy to do. ”

The biggest problem with the failure of the experimental converter earlier was the relatively poor grade of iron ore, so the yield rate of steel was not working, which was extremely maddening.

The one-time input cost of the steel plant is quite high, and for the people of Zhenguan for 17 years, this kind of large investment is comparable to repairing the imperial palace for Emperor Li. Of course, in fact, the scale of the steel plant is also larger than the scale of the imperial palace, which is not wrong.

"So observe, can we set up a steel mill in Tianzhu?"

"That's not necessary, you can take a bigger step, but you can't pull yourself, right? The current method, although it is harder, but it is also easy to use, will be extended in the future, and strive to put into operation a steel mill a year. With steel, we can continue to do many things, such as building a house, which can only be built with three or five floors, seven or eight floors, and maybe we can build thirty or fifty floors, seventy or eighty floors in the future. Of course, this may be overstepping, but if we don't live there, we can let Your Majesty live. ”

Everyone laughed, and then someone said: "The bridge we built in Xianchuan before was also made of steel, but it was only one zhang long, that is, it was unloaded by a carriage." In the future, maybe a steel bridge will be built directly on the Han River, which is the real way to change the moat. ”

"Just think, how much steel does it take?"

"You have to think about everything, if you don't even dare to think about it, then it's like going to Mobei to herd sheep."

"Hahahaha......"

After laughing for a while, everyone was eating tea but pondering Fang Cai's words, and each had a different kind of thinking. In the final analysis, the words are not rough, not to mention the delusion of "the moat will change the way", let's just talk about the current situation in Wuhan, five years ago, they also did not dare to think about it.

Outsiders often say that Wuhan is the demon capital on the earth, and Luoyang describes Wuhan as a place where demons and demons are rampant, but for the locals and those who have defected to Wuhan, they are now doing a cause, and the whole process is called struggle.

"Stir—"

Tick –

A rapid whistle sounded, and on a peculiar molten iron stove, a sturdy worker was stirring the half-solidified molten iron.

Bursts of smoke and fog, black and white, make people unable to see things in the distance at all in the operation room.

With another whistle, the stove tilted slightly, and after reaching an angle, a mouth on the side of the stove slowly flowed molten steel.

These molten steels, after filling them one by one, are quickly transferred in the form of a conveyor belt turned by manpower.
