Manufacturing Empire in the Valley

Chapter 482
Fang Dongping supervised the whole process, observing his watch while watching, reminding everyone to pay attention to time control, so as not to cause scrapping of molten steel.

The director of the engine workshop, Chen Hong, personally operated the operation. This person used to be a master who specialized in the production of tractor heads and has rich experience.Under his personal operation, a total of five engine parts models were cast in the first furnace of molten steel, which did not cause waste of materials.

The next part finishing process is jointly guided by Song Zhiyi and Master Xue. Although both of them are masters, even so, they scrapped a set of original parts, which shows how difficult the finishing process is.

Fang Dongping was quite satisfied with the result. He knew the difficulty of this link, so he didn't blame Song Zhiyi and Master Xue for it.

Zhou Kai was not idle, because in the process of finishing, some parts need to be heat treated.

Originally, the mechanical processing workshop should purchase heat treatment equipment, but Fang Dongping and Niu Xiaoqiang did not purchase related equipment in order to save money. Only the steelmaking workshop in the entire factory has heat treatment capabilities, so Zhou Kai had to assist.

Niu Xiaoqiang couldn't do anything to watch, so he stepped forward to help.

The two of them were already sore and sore from exhaustion before, but they couldn't lose the chain at this time, so they could only continue to grit their teeth and persevere.Although it was already winter, both of them were sweating profusely, as if they had been exposed to the sun in summer.

When the heat treatment process was completed, Zhou Kai sat down on the ground and panted, so tired that he didn't even want to move his fingers.

Niu Xiaoqiang was a little better than him. He leaned against the pillar beside him panting, and smiled wryly while wiping the sweat from his forehead: "Director Zhou, am I reaping the fruit of my own life?"

Before Zhou Kai could speak, a villager from Gufeng Township interfaced with a face full of shame: "Secretary Niu, Deputy Factory Director Zhou, we are the ones who have dragged you down, but please rest assured, we will definitely study hard. , strive to get to work as soon as possible.”

Another person interjected: "Well, we can't lose face to the township chief no matter what, and we promise to get familiar with the process as soon as possible."

Niu Xiaoqiang waved his hand: "I don't mean to blame you. I know your situation very well. After I have a rest, I will personally guide and train you."

To be honest, Niu Xiaoqiang still has some opinions on Zhou Kai.

He felt that some of the processes in the steelmaking workshop were relatively simple, and no matter how stupid people could learn them quickly, Zhou Kai didn't teach these villagers well, which meant that Zhou Kai's teaching ability was problematic.

But when Niu Xiaoqiang personally performed the training, he realized that he had wronged Zhou Kai.

The stupidity of these villagers far exceeded Niu Xiaoqiang's imagination. These people just couldn't remember the simple procedures, either they got the order wrong or they forgot the essentials of the operation.No matter how repeatedly Niu Xiaoqiang taught them, they just didn't follow the Tao.

I finally taught one, and when I asked this person to operate it after a while, he actually got the order wrong again.

Niu Xiaoqiang felt as if he wanted to cry, but he cried out inwardly: By virtue, who are you looking for me?Why do I feel that their heads are hollow and they can't remember things?

"Master Chen, please recall carefully, what did I tell you just now?"

The best-performing villager had cold sweat on his forehead, and he said nonchalantly: "Just now... it seems that I was told to pay attention to the time. When the time is up, I will open the furnace cover and pour molten steel into the mold... Then it's cold-processed..."

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed helplessly, and reminded: "What about the water temperature control link? Don't you remember?"

The mold must be cooled immediately after pouring and forming. The cooling process has requirements for water temperature, and warm water with a temperature of 25 to [-] degrees Celsius must be used.Otherwise, the cast parts will not reach the performance of super carbon steel and are defective products.

This is a specific requirement of super carbon steel, and the cooling process of other steelmaking plants does not need to control the water temperature.

Master Chen slapped his head: "Yes, yes, and the control of the water temperature, I forgot."

Niu Xiaoqiang felt that teaching in this way was not an option. He rolled his eyes and changed his teaching method after thinking for a while: "Next I will teach you a set of simple formulas. When will you memorize this formula by heart? It’s time to simulate again.”

Niu Xiaoqiang compiled a set of formulas, sorted each link, divided it into six small steps, listed as 123456, and then added the keywords of this link at the end, so that it can serve as a reminder .

This set of formulas was not too difficult. Seven villagers stood in a row, and when Niu Xiaoqiang taught them a line, they recited it.Needless to say, this method is indeed effective.

When the seven people recited the formula proficiently, and then asked them to perform simulated operations, their chances of making mistakes dropped significantly.Even if you make a mistake, you can quickly find the problem and correct it by reciting the formula.

Zhou Kai stood by and watched all the time. At the beginning, he secretly laughed at Niu Xiaoqiang's performance: Do you think I didn't pay attention to teaching?That's not the case at all, now you have learned how powerful they are, right?

After Niu Xiaoqiang invented the teaching method of reciting formulas, Zhou Kai couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Secretary Niu, you are the best, and you solved this problem so easily."

Niu Xiaoqiang sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face: "This is equivalent to a force-feeding education, and I was forced to do it when I had no other way. Let them continue to recite, let alone to the point of reciting it backwards. At least you have to be able to memorize it well.”

Zhou Kai nodded, agreeing with Niu Xiaoqiang's arrangement.

In order to deepen the impression, Niu Xiaoqiang told the seven people to stand up and recite.

People can deepen their impressions in a relatively harsh environment, but if they recite while sitting, their mentality will be relaxed unconsciously, and the effect of recitation is not very good.

"Don't take a break after lunch. You have to continue to recite this set of formulas until the time you get off work. Even if you have memorized it well, you can't stop until you want to vomit. Understand?"

The seven villagers all nodded, obedient like elementary school students, and all stood up straight.

Niu Xiaoqiang looked at the wall clock hanging on the workshop wall: "There is still some time, let's clean the stove."

After the molten steel in the steelmaking furnace is poured out, some residues will remain inside. If these things are not cleaned up, it will affect the next smelting.

Zhou Kai nodded, and he and Niu Xiaoqiang climbed onto the smelting platform with numb legs.The two worked together to clean up the debris before lunch.
