Chapter 2832 Specialization of Danzhou

Mai Ruibao always believed that he had more knowledge about the chief's factory than other naturalized citizens of the same age. Starting from my childhood, my family was exiled from Dongguan to the Xiangshan Aomeng Senate for shelter, and my brother-in-law found a job with the chief. As the youngest child in the family, the young Ruibao often went to the Hong Kong shipyard to deliver meals to his brother-in-law, and was used to seeing the shipyard's pendants, slipways and various machinery. When I got older and came to Lingao to study, all kinds of "work studies" and "internships" in Fangcaodi became commonplace. Therefore, in the first impression of Mai Ruibao, who had just jumped off the Venus Zero, apart from the terrifyingly large area, Danzhou's Special Chemical Industrial Park was no different from the large factories in Lingao and Ma Niao: the zigzag-shaped factory buildings, There are many vertical pipes, high and low towers, small railroads and cinder-paved factory roads crisscrossing the area. There is an indescribable sour smell floating in the air - many Fangcaodi students call this "factory smell".

But the deeper you go into the factory area, the more unique you will find: in addition to the security inspections by guards in all factories, security police are stationed in key departments of the factory area to strictly check people entering and exiting; from time to time, there are mobile KMT troops armed with shotguns. Patrol teams ride bicycles or take rail cars to patrol back and forth.

The most conspicuous thing is that there are more naturalized workers wearing red "safety officer" armbands than other factories and various safety warning signs can be seen everywhere. All of this reminds Mailibao that this is a special enterprise that attaches great importance to safety.

Before he came here, he probably knew that many of the products manufactured in the Special Chemical Park were used by the military, and most of them were flammable and explosive products.

Facing this dazzling factory, Mai Ruibao hesitated for a while, not knowing what to shoot. After thinking about it, I pointed the camera at two very eye-catching giant circular buildings, pulled the leather bellows and started focusing.

"Don't waste the film on the fire tower." Someone suddenly spoke in his ear, and the reporter from Jiaomai was surprised: a girl stood next to him at some point. She was about the same age as him, she looked quite thin, but she was full of radiance. There was a condescending aura that the seniors at Fangcaodi had when facing the new students. The girl stretched out her thin wrist from the sleeves of her wide overalls - there was an ugly scar on it. She pointed out a small house near the water tower to him: "There are fire hydrants and hoses inside. There are a lot of them in this factory area. Aren't you here to check the fire protection work?"

Mai Ruibao had no choice but to take out his interview pass and said that he was following the chief for an interview. Unexpectedly, the girl was still reluctant: "How can a qualified reporter not understand the subject of his report?"

"I'm just starting out and don't know much about factories." Mai Ruibao could tell at a glance that the person in front of him was a "disciple" of a certain elder. Only they could have such a confident expression and condescending tone.

Mai Ruibao knew that most of these people had high self-esteem, and it would be easy to offend them if he did not respond appropriately. Fortunately, these people have been selected to be around the elders since they were young. Most of them are not very scheming and are relatively popular. He immediately made a very enthusiastic look: "I just started working in the pictorial agency, and this is my first time in such a big factory." He looked around and sighed half-seriously, "This factory is amazing! The design and operation The veteran is so awesome!”

The girl showed a "natural" look. Mai Ruibao quickly added fuel to the fire: "I think you look like a student of a veteran in the factory, right? Just in time, come and teach me what are the most worthy places to photograph here? I don't understand after all."

It was obvious that his humble and enthusiastic attitude of being a student was very helpful to the other party.

"Follow me, our teacher will tell you what is truly valuable, and what kind of photos are worthy of being in the pictorial."

The girl led him to a group of tall tower-like buildings. It turned out that the leaders who came with him were already there. It seems that it is indeed an important piece of equipment. The so-called teacher in the mouth of the girls, Chief Qi Chuqin whose name Mai Ruibao often saw in newspapers, had been surrounded by other leaders in the inspection team to answer their questions.

The tower exuded a pungent stench all around. Mai Ruibao wanted to take out the masks, but Chairman Wang didn't care and walked around them to look around. Mai Ruibao could only try to hold his breath and focus his camera on these strange-looking towers: long iron cylinders standing like trees, huge steel tanks, supported in mid-air by steel and cement frames. Countless iron pipes bent into strange shapes are tied, fixed and connected to this pile of metal structures like ropes. Sometimes some medium-sized iron cans and ladles swell out from the middle of the iron pipes and are connected to each other, like vines hanging out of melons and fruits. . This group of strange behemoths rumbled and puffed out smoke, as if they were a group of indescribable life forms. Belt conveyors continuously drop crushed anthracite into the openings under the tower, as if feeding a monster. Amid the noise, Mai Ruibao, who was busy taking pictures, heard Chairman Wang talking to Chief Qi intermittently:

"...The fluctuations in the initial stage of the test were relatively large. At present, the output of liquid ammonia has stabilized, basically around 500 kilograms per day..."

"What about ammonium nitrate?"

"120kg per day."

"It's not much. That's only forty or fifty tons a year. Of course, we're still in pilot testing, so we can't count." "There are too many places where ammonia and nitric acid are used. Of course, if the Planning Institute agrees to place an order , even if the output of ammonia synthesis during the pilot trial is doubled, it will be no problem to double or triple the ammonium nitrate production. Besides, the unit can enter continuous production as soon as the pilot trial is completed. As long as there is no problem, it is expected to reach 1200 tons by the end of the year. The designed annual output of ammonia. Regardless of whether it is nitrogen fertilizer or firecrackers, Chairman, we will have a lot of..."

"Is there any problem? Nothing in the world is a good thing."

"I can't hide anything from you, haha. Well, the most critical problem is that our materials industry is still a little stretched. Catalysts and corrosion-resistant materials are lacking. Substitute materials can only solve the problem of whether they can be produced. Once it reaches a large scale, it becomes unbearable. Also, the supply of cupota gum is very difficult.”

Chairman Wang smiled and nodded without making any further comments. It seems that he can't solve this problem. After staring for a long time, he suddenly lowered his voice and seemed to ask Chief Qi some question. Chief Qi had a solemn expression on his face and whispered something. Judging from the expressions of both of them, it seemed to be something important.

Adhering to the "three no's principles", Mai Ruibao quickly turned his attention to other places and gestured with his fingers to see if there was any nearby place where he could take pictures. Then I took some photos of large equipment and workers maintaining it. He originally wanted to take a few photos with workers as models, but the light today was not ideal and he couldn't take close-up shots of people. There are only 24 disposable flash torches in his bag, so he needs to save some.

The product of the Tower Magic, a treasure that the chief said could be turned into nitrogen fertilizer and can also cause firecrackers, finally appeared in the packaging workshop under the granulation tower: white spherical ammonium nitrate particles were spread flat on the canvas conveyor belt, and finally It falls into a special lead-covered jar. Every time a jar is filled, workers put wax paper on the mouth of the jar, tighten the lid, put it on a trolley, and transport it away. Chairman Wang ignored the pungent smell and was fascinated by it. He suddenly asked Sun Shangxiang: "Do you know what these are?"

Sun Shangxiang shook her little face that was previously flushed but now looked a little pale: "Please give me some advice from the Chairman." Mai Ruibao looked at the unwiped tears at the corners of her eyes with concern. He didn't know that this was because she had Being too close was irritated by the volatilized ammonia gas.

"This is the foundation for the people of Australia and Song Dynasty to avoid hunger, and it is also the guarantee for the victory of the Fubo Army," Chairman Wang said thoughtfully: "Sometimes the latter is more important than the former. We must win first so that the people will not starve. "

"Chairman, can you tell me in more detail?" Sun Shangxiang wrote furiously in the interview book while pleading in a feeble and delicate tone.

Chairman Wang laughed and pointed at the female student following Teacher Qi: "Go and ask her and explain it to you in detail. By the way, Lao Qi, I haven't asked you the name of this student yet."

"Reporting to the Chairman, my name is Qi Krypton!"

As soon as the female student finished speaking, not only Chairman Wang, but also all the heads of the inspection team laughed loudly. Sun Shangxiang and other naturalized cadres also laughed, but Mai Ruibao turned his face sideways and pretended not to notice.

Qi Krylong didn't know why, his face turned red instantly, but he stubbornly straightened his long and thin neck. The inspection team then boarded a freight flat car pulled by a fireless locomotive running on the track system of the park.

The flatbed train passed around several factories that were covered with scaffolding and were still under construction. Reporter Mai learned from the conversations between the leaders that this Danzhou Special Chemical Enterprise was the first electrification factory under the Senate. Sure enough, they walked in and out of each workshop, all illuminated by electric lights, and the exhaust fans were humming. Everyone also put on the goggles and activated carbon masks prepared by the factory, but Mairuibao still felt the There was a pungent sour smell floating around. The huge nitrifiers, reaction tanks and water tanks that you can see are either exposed cast iron or covered with enamel anti-corrosion layers. Some places are actually made of glass. Operators wearing tight oilcloth protective clothing operate the mixer. When he thought of the strong acid churning in the tank, which could corrode and melt human bones, he felt the hair on his head counting down. Just like the synthetic ammonia-ammonium nitrate co-production device, metal, glass and gutta-percha pipes of different thicknesses and twists and turns surround various tanks and machines to connect them together. Chairman Wang looked around at various equipment, and finally stopped at a crystallizer, pointing to the dried light yellow crystals in it: "How is the current output?"

"Report to the Chairman, the daily production of TNT is about 100 kilograms." It was Qi Krypton who replied.
