Early the next morning, Yang Yuanzhao took Qian Hu to the location of the cement factory, and the next plant construction required these steel houses.

At this time, the construction site is still in full swing, the simple bulldozer made of the tractor has leveled the entire wasteland, and the gravel on the barren beach has almost been cleaned up, leaving the tractor repeatedly flattened the land, next to it, the pipeline specially built for the cement plant is being laid, including sewage pipes and tap water pipelines, since it is a factory, tap water, can not simply use the iron frame to store water, need to use the water tower.

In the case of bricks and cement, Yang Yuanzhao just made a few large water tanks, and then naturally there was a construction team to build water towers, all of which were made of red bricks, with cement on the map at most, a height of about 30 meters, which can ensure that below 20 meters, with sufficient water pressure, 4 groups of hoist cranes will be installed around, respectively, into the water tank, inject water to ensure the needs of a factory, such a water tower, there will be 7 cement plants in the future, respectively, to ensure the water of the industrial area and the living area.

Qian Hu was a little nervous, to be honest, electric welding and steel structure are what he has been studying during this time, and he also knows that steel structure can simply build a huge house, after practicing for so long, he also wants to find a stage to perform, I thought that it might be an ordinary house, but I didn't expect that Yang Yuanzhao would bring him to this cement factory.

The cement factory is currently the largest factory in Baotou, there is no one, just look at more than 1,000 employees, you can see, follow Yang Yuanzhao all the way, listen to Yang Yuanzhao's introduction of the river, Qian Hu's heart is more and more bottomless, he looked at the part that has been walked, although it is flat ground, but in Yang Yuanzhao's introduction, it is a tall building, rising from the ground, almost everywhere to build a factory.

Is there a need to make such a big deal, Qian Hu thought so in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it.

At the time of Qixin in Tianjin, Yang Yuanzhao looked at the factory building over there, to be honest, it is not a modern factory, most of it is just a shed, which is nothing for this era, but for Yang Yuanzhao who wants to build a high-efficiency and low-energy consumption factory, this is somewhat untouchable, and now he can't directly degrade the cement dust to the minimum, but he can build some factories and collect a little dust, so that the environment of the factory will be better.

Therefore, in the design, Yang Yuanzhao designed a huge plant for the cement plant, and even thought of greening, in the factory area, Yang Yuanzhao will plant some trees, mostly some to absorb dust, fortunately, Yang Yuanzhao A friend is in the cement factory, it seems to have heard, plant more oleander and small-leaved ficus, oleander this plant, Yang Yuanzhao knows, is a very common plant, and even poisonous, he was very strange at the time and asked a few more words.

The toxicity of oleander lies in itself, whether it is roots, stems and leaves, or even flowers, it is toxic, but this toxicity is only in itself, and will not be emitted into the air.

Oleander is native to the subtropics, is a very common plant, even in the past, is also a highly toxic plant, with the ability of the Yang family Chamber of Commerce, purchase these, no problem, the climate of Baotou here, not very suitable for the growth of oleander, but it doesn't matter much, the big deal with the help of greenhouses, slowly cultivated, as for the small leaf ficus, it is really not suitable, Baotou here has less rain, and into the winter, and relatively cold, small leaf ficus this subtropical plant, in Baotou, can not survive at all.

The purchase of oleander was handed over to the Yang family, and the news they got yesterday that they had sent a telegram to the south of the oleander producing area, and the reply could be obtained, but the distance was far away, plus the plants, and it might be more than 1 month later.

Yang Yuanzhao was relieved, for a month, he was not afraid, what he was afraid of was that there was no thing, conventional, or Baotou local plants were barely possible, but they were not very suitable for the environment of the cement factory.

The future of the plant, Yang Yuanzhao detailed design, more than 200 acres of huge area, only a little more than a third, is as a factory plant, and even said, the first phase of the project, will only occupy one-tenth of the area of the plant, this era, whether it is a steelmaking blast furnace, or a cement calciner, its volume is not too large, which is also the root of the restriction of cement production, Yang Yuanzhao in the integrated machine, has tried to expand the volume of this blast furnace, steelmaking blast furnace, for the time being, there is not much progress, but this cement calcination road, But it is easy to break through, itself, this is not difficult, the reason for not increasing, lies in the lifting and power and many other reasons, with the transformation of the steam engine, basically the power is no problem, a large number of hydraulic applications, so that the huge cement calciner, can be pulled by dozens of strands of steel wire, saving manpower at the same time, but also several times increased the volume of the cement calciner, from the original 10 cubic meters, increased to 90 cubic meters, a full 9 times, thermal effect and fluidity have also been corrected, Such a calciner can produce more than 150 tons of cement at a time, and one furnace can be completed in a day, so that in principle, the annual output of full load operation will climb to more than 540,000 tons.

540,000 tons, even in the world in 1908, is relatively large, the idea is good, Yang Yuanzhao also knows that the cement plant, even if it is built, in a short time, is unlikely to be increased to full load operation, or even overload operation, so, the design output, he only chose a little more than one-third of 200,000 tons, but even so, 200,000 tons of cement, is enough to be more than 3 times that of Qixin Cement Plant, the largest cement plant in China.

The production of cement is nothing more than the preparation of raw materials and calcination of two categories, cement materials, limestone, clay, and some iron ore and other trace added elements, now the world, there is no so-called high-grade cement, for the time being, ordinary cement will be selected, there is no problem with the completion, it is much simpler, mainly raw material crushing, from limestone, clay, and a small amount of iron ore for the first time, at this point, the expanded crusher can complete the task, replaced with the later generation of cemented carbide, The efficiency of the pulverizer and the maximum grinding process will be improved.

After the crusher, it is the grinding of the crushed material, the effect of cement, the expansion coefficient, including some properties, are very related to the grinding of raw materials, the finer the grinding of raw materials, the more uniform the combination will be, which is quite useful for the later calcination.

At this point, Yang Yuanzhao did not have much research, but on the basis of the Qixin cement plant, he carried out upgrading and modification, more to make the grinding more solid and the power better, so as to improve the efficiency a little bit.

After the raw materials are mixed, they will enter the calcination process, in this process, the vertical blast furnace is selected, which is somewhat similar to the steel blast furnace, but not exactly the same, this step, Yang Yuanzhao in addition to enlarging the entire volume, there are no more changes, do not understand the things, do not move for the time being, with the most secure and mature design, so that the possibility of problems will be the lowest, more improvements and rectifications, need to be when the cement plant runs smoothly, or invite some cement experts from abroad, it is expected to be changed.

The process of crushing, grinding and mixing these raw materials, except for the last 90 cubic meters of vertical blast furnace, because it is too large to be placed in the house, Yang Yuanzhao on the blast furnace, simply did a little protection, shielded some dust, more dust degradation, need greening to solve, the rest, basically put in the room, six meters high workshop, with steel columns and steel beams linked to it, and added the process of electric welding, can barely wrap these parts in it, and even concentrate together, a certain amount of dù, Reduced usable area.

Even if it is reduced, the total assembly capacity is 540,000 tons per year, all kinds of supporting facilities and machinery, all with the plant to solve, the total area of more than 5,500 square meters, the highest 3 floors, 18 meters, the lowest also needs 2 floors, 12 meters, this task, absolutely not low.

"Alright, that's all for details!" Yang Yuanzhao handed over the drawings to Qian Hu, Qian Hu's head, sweat was going to flow down, more than 12,000 square meters of huge steel structure, and the one or two hundred square meters he thought before, it was simply a difference between heaven and earth, not to mention that most of them were 6 meters span, in special places, such as crushers, feed ports, and mixing rooms, it took 12 meters, or even 15 meters, which provided a huge pressure for the overall strength and structure.

"Boss, this, this ......" Qian Hu was a little speechless, and kept talking.

"Let's draw the drawings first!"

"This!" Qian Hu still looked embarrassed, looking at Qian Hu who was so entangled that his face was pumped, Yang Yuanzhao was very helpless, this is more or less a bit of a bully hard bow, Qian Hu was just a blacksmith before, and he didn't have a long time in contact with the steel structure, and even the ligature only knew a few, what pressure, pressure, and some load-bearing aspects, all of which were half-understood, if it wasn't for Yang Yuanzhao's steel, it would be much better than ordinary steel, if the so-called steel of this era was used, Yang Yuanzhao would never dare to let them design.

But even so, this task is beyond his ability to bear, seeing Qian Hu flinching for a while, he didn't dare to go next, Yang Yuanzhao thought for a while, and said: "Okay, you don't need to design, I'll design, but you give me the field measurements, will this be?" ”

"Yes, yes!" Qian Hu hurriedly said, although he is not very literate, and he basically does not understand mathematics, but in the process of studying the steel structure, he still came into contact with some, basic measurement, simple room design, the construction of the strength arm or something, it is still okay, looking at Qian Hu for fear that Yang Yuanzhao will stop again, and hurriedly ran away, Yang Yuanzhao shook his head and lowered his head on the drawing.

In fact, just a circle, Yang Yuanzhao has designed the simple drawings, now it is further refinement, what kind of structure is used, before, Qian Hu They made more than 10 models, can be used in this design, which one to use, need to discuss, find a shade to sit down, Yang Yuanzhao took out a piece of paper again, with a pencil and a ruler, on which began the standardized design.
