Chapter 109: Go with the flow
(Since the first two chapters have been blocked repeatedly and some book friends have repeatedly subscribed, this chapter will be free. However, I don’t know if this chapter will be blocked. I still have to write some family stories, otherwise I will be too tired to write other articles)
There were already many people in the conference room when Wang Zhendong arrived.

Factory Director Yang and four other deputy factory directors, as well as the directors of the production department, technical department, maintenance department, logistics department, etc., all arrived.

Wang Zhendong sat down in his seat and began to study the teacup pattern on the table. He decided not to express any opinions during today's meeting.

This should be a matter for the production department and the deputy director of production. It has nothing to do with him. Besides, what can he say?
You can't say that steelmaking in a blast furnace is just a joke that wastes people and money, right?

Wouldn’t that be causing trouble for yourself?

After hearing what Wei Qun said before, he knew why. Those steel ingots had many impurities and it was difficult to control the composition after they were remelted. The steel bars made were probably not up to standard.

Let alone steel plates and other components.

It can be said that the components cast from those steel ingots are basically waste products.

But this is reality, no one can change it, and no one dares to change it.

The deputy director of production, whose surname is Qiu, has a technical background. He worked in the steel rolling mill before liberation and was promoted after liberation.

Like Liu Wenqing, deputy director of technical maintenance, he is said to have studied abroad.

At the beginning of the meeting, Director Yang directly raised this issue. As Wang Zhendong suspected, Director Yang was also very dissatisfied with the local steel ingots.

And there is a vague intention to oppose the current large-scale steel smelting.

Wang Zhendong was sweating for it. No wonder Li Huaide would step down by then. Director Yang was also reckless.

No one touches him now, but when the time comes, these words will be revealed.

After what Director Yang said, Deputy Director Qiu was more direct and shocked everyone who heard it. Fortunately, Su Ji did not attend the production meeting.

People who are not political workers cannot say this, it is too bold to say it.

Then Liu Wenqing began to analyze the composition of the steel ingot, the content of various elements, impurities, etc. from a technical level.

When looking for a solution, everyone remained silent, including Wang Zhendong, who was still studying how to make the pattern of the blue and white porcelain tea cup.

Of course, he was actually thinking about who asked him to attend this meeting by name. Logically speaking, such a meeting had nothing to do with him.

However, after listening to the technical analysis of deputy director Liu Wenqing, a smelting technology suddenly came to his mind.

Using this technology, it seems that the chemical composition of soil-made steel ingots can be well changed, as well as the defects of soil-made steel.

Do you want to take the opportunity to speak out?

Wang Zhendong was lost in thought, while Director Yang glanced around and saw only people who bowed their heads and said nothing.

He originally wanted to use this meeting to unify his thoughts and reject the acceptance of soil-made steel ingots, so he called everyone here, including deputy director Wang Zhendong.

But looking at the situation now, no one dares to agree with his idea.

He couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he also understood that to oppose and deny soil-made steel ingots at this time was to go against the general direction.

His eyes glanced at Wang Zhendong, who was staring blankly at the teacup. Director Yang also smiled bitterly in his heart. This kid could actually pretend to be dead.

However, he had a good impression of Wang Zhendong and wanted to see how Wang Zhendong would react. He immediately asked by name: "Comrade Zhendong, do you have anything to say? Young man, don't be so lifeless. Just say whatever you think in your heart." .”

Wang Zhendong was speechless. You, Director Yang, don’t know what will happen in the future, but I do!
No matter what you think or say, you are going to be unlucky. It doesn't matter now, but you will settle the score later.

But after thinking about it, he still looked at everyone with a smile, and then said to Director Yang: "Director Yang, I went to the Soviet Union some time ago and visited their steelmaking plant.

At that time, I also secretly wrote down some of their steel-making technology and some technical parameters.

And I discovered that they are researching a new smelting method that can effectively desulfurize and decarbonize molten steel.It will also refine the molten steel, and adding some elements can very well change the chemical composition and properties of the steel. "

At this point, Wang Zhendong stopped. He suddenly realized that it would be good to take this opportunity to say something.

Follow the trend, and be well-founded, and you won't be used to make a fuss about it.

Everyone looked at Wang Zhendong in surprise at this time. No one would have thought that the deputy director who had not cared about anything since he took office and had no sense of existence would actually have such thoughts.

He was not denying the idea of ​​making steel ingots from the ground, but he was thinking about changes, and it seemed that there was still a way. This was simply unexpected.

Even Director Yang and Liu Wenqing were surprised, especially Liu Wenqing, who was engaged in technology development and research.

It’s not that I haven’t thought about changing it, but due to technology limitations, I simply can’t do it.

Now when he heard what Wang Zhendong said, he immediately became interested and asked Wang Zhendong: "Comrade Zhendong, tell me quickly, how to do it?"

When Liu Wenqing asked, everyone was equally curious and looked at Wang Zhendong, waiting for him to come up with a solution.

Wang Zhendong thought about it in his mind and then said slowly: "The new process studied by Su Fang Steelmaking Plant seems to be called argon oxygen decarburization method.

The process used is top blowing and bottom blowing of a mixed gas of argon and oxygen to carry out desulfurization, dephosphorization and decarburization. I heard their engineers say that by adding some chromium and nickel to the molten steel produced in this way, stainless steel can be produced... "

Wang Zhendong is only responsible for speaking out. As for whether the current steel-making furnace can do it, that is not his time to consider.

Qiu Falin and Liu Wenqing, the two deputy factory directors, one is in production and the other is in technology, but they are short of breath at this time. This is the first time they have heard of such a smelting process. If what Wang Zhendong said is true, it is definitely for steelmaking. A big leap.

Factory Director Yang is also very interested. If such a new process is adopted, perhaps waste can be turned into treasure.

Moreover, this will also be the progress of the domestic steel industry and his political achievements.

Liu Wenqing asked excitedly: "Zhendong, do you know the ratio of chromium to nickel? Have Soviet engineers studied the ratio..."

Liu Wenqing actually knew in his heart that there was probably no proportion, but he was still full of hope. If they knew the proportion, they would avoid many detours.

Wang Zhendong glanced at everyone again and saw Li Huaide, who was stunned, and everyone with strange looks.

After thinking about it, I decided that it would be better to come up with proportions and directly produce 304 stainless steel. Otherwise, Liu Wenqing and the others would not know how long the research would take and how much time and money would be wasted.

On the surface, when Wang Zhendong heard Liu Wenqing's question, he frowned and pretended to think about it, and after a while he said in an uncertain tone: "I heard something, but I can't remember it clearly.

The main reason is that my Russian is not very good, but if I heard correctly, it should be 18.00% chromium and [-]% nickel.

I don’t know the specifics. If you do more research, you will also know that I am not engaged in this after all. I was just impressed by the development of Soviet industry at that time, so I paid attention to it, learned more, read more, and memorized it..."

After hearing this, Liu Wenqing and Qiu Falin stood up and left.

Seeing this, Director Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but since he had a new method, let's give it a try. No matter whether it works or not, it's not a bad thing.

So, he immediately announced the adjournment of the meeting and smiled at Wang Zhendong: "Zhendong, let's go sit at my place. You have been here for so long and you haven't come to my place to talk to me. Do you have any objections to me?"

Factory Director Yang was joking, and Wang Zhendong naturally kept smiling, "How come? It's mainly because I'm afraid of disturbing your work."

Afterwards, the two of them left the conference room while joking and went to Director Yang's office. Li Huaide came out of the conference room and stood in the corridor and looked at the two people's backs with an incomprehensible expression.

Deputy Factory Director Xu Zhengxu also stood beside Li Huaide and said with a slight smile: "Director Li, how about Donglaishun tonight?"

Li Huaide looked back and said with a smile: "Okay, it would be good to eat some mutton at this time."

Afterwards, the two left talking and laughing.
