Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 103 The problem is the coke

Zhou Kai smoked only a small half of a cigarette, and then stopped: "Master Niu, you don't know about this, good cigarettes burn faster, if you don't continue to smoke, it will burn quickly. It will be burned up, which will cause waste, and waste is tantamount to crime, which is unacceptable."

Niu Xiaoqiang doesn't smoke, so he doesn't know much about it.In order to narrow the distance between the two parties, he could only follow Zhou Kai's words: "It turns out that this is the case. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known about it. It seems that everything has its own way. I still have a lot to learn."

When Niu Xiaoqiang said this, Zhou Kai had already sucked the cigarette up to his butt.Seeing this, Niu Xiaoqiang hurriedly took out the second one and handed it over: "I still have some here, you go ahead and light it."

Zhou Kai was so happy, he lit the second cigarette with the unburned butt, and took a puff before he spoke: "Master Niu, just ask whatever you want, I promise to know everything without saying anything."

Niu Xiaoqiang saw that the other party was so understanding of etiquette, so he stopped being polite and started asking some detailed questions about steelmaking.As expected, Zhou Kai knew everything and said everything, no matter what Niu Xiaoqiang asked, he would answer it in detail.By the time of lunch, there were only a few sticks left in the bag of Hongtashan that Niu Xiaoqiang had stolen from Fang Dongping, and he had almost understood the issues he wanted to understand.

"Master Zhou, thank you for your in-depth guidance. I wonder if you are free after get off work? I still want to ask you for help."

Zhou Kai smoked Niu Xiaoqiang for half a pack of cigarettes, feeling a little bit of accepting Niu Xiaoqiang's favor in his heart. He didn't refuse, but nodded and said, "I have nothing to do after get off work, but I only have time after 06:30."

Niu Xiaoqiang snorted: "In that case, please tell me the location. I will find you on time at 06:30."

Zhou Kai pointed to the direction of the factory gate: "Let's meet at the factory gate."

"Okay, we'll see you then."

"Well, see you soon."

Before parting, Niu Xiaoqiang took out another Hongtashan and handed it to Zhou Kai. Zhou Kai didn't smoke this time, so he carefully stuffed it and Hongtashan into his Dafengshou cigarette case and put it away.Seeing this, Niu Xiaoqiang asked curiously, "Master Zhou, are you...?"

Zhou Kai showed an embarrassed expression: "I want to save this cigarette and enjoy it slowly. After all, there are not many opportunities to smoke a good cigarette like today, so I have to cherish it."

Niu Xiaoqiang nodded with a smile, thinking to himself: there are so many people who smoke.

After lunch, Niu Xiaoqiang stayed alone in the workshop office and began to analyze the contents recorded from the reference room one by one, trying to find the main reason for the failure of No. [-] steel production.

On the surface, there is no problem with the production records of No. [-] steel. No matter whether it is the temperature control or the addition of catalysts, there is no abnormality at all. Even the subsequent cooling process is quite satisfactory, in line with the regulations. Production requirements don't make any difference.Niu Xiaoqiang scrutinized and compared carefully, but he still couldn't find out what went wrong with the No. [-] steel, which made him quite puzzled.

According to the production records, it should be impossible for No. [-] steel to be scrapped, but the fact is just the opposite. No. [-] steel was not only scrapped, but also produced that strange black metal, which shows that there must be something There were imperceptible omissions.

Niu Xiaoqiang analyzed over and over again, but he still couldn't find the problem. As a last resort, he could only find the cause from the upstream.If there is anything that can change the production results, it is only the upstream material preparation link.As for the downstream casting and finishing steps, it is impossible to have an impact on steelmaking.

"Could it be that there is a problem with the preparation of materials? For example, there has been an increase or decrease in the use of certain steelmaking materials? It seems... It seems that only this explanation can work."

With this in mind, Niu Xiaoqiang came to the material preparation area. He had been here yesterday, and all the material preparation staff knew him, so he didn't need other people's help to introduce him.

"Hello uncles, you should still recognize me?"

The lead material preparer nodded with a smile, "Of course we recognize you. You are Mr. Fang's apprentice. What's the matter, are you here to do research again today?"

Niu Xiaoqiang took out the cigarette case with only a few cigarettes left, smoked the cigarettes inside, and said with a smile: "I want to come here today to familiarize myself with the work of preparing materials. I wonder if everyone can tell me about the work process?"

Several people saw that Niu Xiaoqiang posted about Hongtashan, and the smiles on their faces grew stronger. The material preparation staff headed nodded repeatedly: "Of course there is no problem with this. When it comes to the work of preparing materials, it is not very technical. The most important thing is Just be careful, be serious, and prepare the materials strictly according to the requirements of the bill of lading, especially the weight of the materials must be strictly controlled, and the weight of the materials must not be overweight or short, otherwise there may be problems in the subsequent production process.”

This statement is completely consistent with Niu Xiaoqiang's own analysis. His eyes lit up, and he asked, "Uncle, do you have any problems with over-delivery or under-delivery of materials here? If such problems occur, you How to verify it?"

The material preparer replied: "As long as it is human beings, it is inevitable to make mistakes. To be honest, we have indeed had problems with excess and shortage. As for how to check, it is relatively simple. Just put the remaining Just weigh the material."

Another material preparer added: "In fact, we will take stock every week and weigh the remaining materials in the warehouse according to batches, so that we can find problems early and make corrections."

Niu Xiaoqiang felt that he was getting closer to the truth, and continued to ask: "Uncle, you should record the data when you take inventory, right?"

"That's for sure."

"Where is the data you record stored?"

"It's all in the reference room."

"Oh, I see, thank you."

After Niu Xiaoqiang finished speaking, he turned his head and ran away. Several material preparation staff looked at the Hongta Mountain in their hands, and they all showed happy smiles. They didn't care at all about Niu Xiaoqiang's sudden departure.

Niu Xiaoqiang had a face-to-face meeting with Sister Liu, and easily sneaked into the reference room again.With the help of Sister Liu, he quickly found the inventory list.

After some searching, he found that one week before the production date of No. [-] steel, ten catties of coke was found in the preparation area during the inventory, which means that No. [-] steel may have lost ten catties of coke during production.

Coke is a material added in the ironmaking process, mainly to provide heat, reduction and skeleton. At present, there is no other material that can replace the role in the ironmaking process.
