The Iron and Steel Frenzy of the Republic of China

Fee Chapter (16 points)

The 210th nine thousand tons of silver?I want!

"It's still not enough." Zhu Bin wished he could finish everything in one day.

This is the basic excavation work. The construction site at the foot of the mountain with a width of two kilometers is next to the harbor. The main building of the research base of the Haizhuang Institute has not been completed. Completed, various experimental equipment and production equipment have not been installed, and there is still a lot of work to come.

On the outskirts of the research institute base, along the five-kilometer-long bay, the planning of a two-kilometer-wide university town has just been completed. It will take only one year to complete the earthwork construction, and accommodate 10 people to live, study, eat and drink. The villas and dormitories of thousands of professors will almost turn this mountainous area into a residential area, which is not an ordinary project.

On the outskirts, super-large construction sites, fortifications, dams and power stations, 10,000+ acres of joint planting fields, and thousands or more technician training classrooms are all big jobs.From the civilian port built by Langya Taiwan, which is about ten kilometers away in the south, a transportation railway, a highway, and a large crude oil pipeline, to the south of the large construction site, construction of a large power plant, an oil refinery and a full range of petrochemical, The chemical industry chain, an industrial chain of steelmaking, steel rolling, and alloy production...there are so many things to do

As far as the current idea is concerned, it is not enough to recruit people, recruit more people

The stall has already been spread out, and it is impossible to stop it if it is not done. Instead of waiting for other people to wake up and cause trouble, it is better to get it done before they do it, so as to save trouble.

Zhu Bin gritted his teeth. At this time, he should not be too scrupled. He asked Comrade Zhang Guoshu to maximize the recruitment and training work in Shanghai, and all the tens of thousands of workers who had completed the construction of the Baoshan Industrial Zone were mobilized here. Mayor Shen Honglie communicated, why not start the construction plan of "Great Qingdao" at the same time, attract all the idle labor force in Shandong, and build a big

Shen Honglie's life these days is also quite sad. He was shot and assassinated by his own students and subordinates twice in a row. Anyone who encounters such a thing will be extremely depressed, not to mention that he is such a face-saving person who thinks that he has always been against him. You and the brethren are all very interesting, how could you expect it to turn out like this?It's ridiculous

Ashamed, he resigned as commander of the Third Fleet and handed it over to Chief of Staff Xie Gangzhe, and then resigned as mayor, at least to cover up this scandal?

Of course, he didn't really want to resign and quit. This is called retreating, and it was a trick used by various bigwigs during the Republic of China. It made the entire political arena look like a stage, with people coming and going, it was very lively.

But he probably didn't expect that Lao Jiang's heart was dark, and when he heard that he was going to resign, he didn't care that he was still a patient with a bad gunshot wound, and he didn't even try to persuade him to stay, so he readily agreed.

Things are not fun now, making fakes come true, who would like it? He Shen is someone who studies, that's why, the commander is gone, Xie Gangzhe will not have any problems in front of him, if the mayor is gone, he has to find a horned Gera Don't think about getting up again after the rest of your life, Lao Jiang will never give anyone from the Northeast Army any chance.

So Shen Honglie started to act. The first one was the kindness of Qingdao people to stay. Representatives from all walks of life were mobilized. Public opinion and propaganda came one after another, all boasting about Mayor Shen’s great achievements, noble personality and so on. The 20 people in Qingdao can’t live without you.

Then I went to Weihai. You said that you resigned, so you can’t go directly by plane, train or ship, but you took a car to Weihai and held another so-called farewell performance. At the end of the big drama, Shen Honglie felt that he could not live up to the true feelings of his fathers and fellow villagers in Shandong, so he declared that he would not leave

If people stay, things have to be done.The plan to build a "Great Qingdao" has been in place for more than a year, and various aspects have begun to take action, but it is obviously not strong enough and financial resources are limited. Qingdao's annual fiscal revenue is only 500 million yuan, which is less than 600 million yuan. If you want to turn 20 in a few years If a small town with 100 people becomes [-] million, then you have to spend money in it

But there is no need to worry about this. Zhu Bin and the two of them hit it off, and soon, a super-large Qingdao construction and development plan with a total investment of more than [-] million U.S. dollars was introduced.

Various groups headed by Zhu Bin invested in the construction of a large wharf, a shipyard, a steel plant, a large oil depot and refinery, a petrochemical plant and a chemical fiber plant, a large cement plant, a power plant, etc. in Qingdao, and One thousand literacy and technician training classrooms were opened, and various affiliated downstream factories were launched in turn. From the special area between the small and small Zhushan Mountains, to Huangdao around Jiaozhou Bay, and various places in Qingdao, the grand construction and investment kicked off.

The population of Shandong Province ranks among the top three in the country, and this year it has more than 3000 million. In August, the Yellow River flooded, flooding Puxian, Fanxian, Shouzhang, Yanggu, Chengwu, Juye, Dong'e , Fengxian County and Peixian County, Jiangsu Province, the places where they passed were devastated. Many Northeast villagers who poured in since September [-], plus the local refugees and poor people, millions of people have no means of living.

As soon as the big construction site opened in Qingdao, Shandong youths with much stronger average physiques flocked in. From September to November, a total of 11 to 40 young and strong laborers gathered in the entire Jiaozhou Bay area. Shen Honglie collapsed, and all the soldiers of several brigades of the Third Fleet went into battle. Even Governor Han Fuju was worried that they would cause trouble, so he hurriedly reinforced the two divisions to take care of them nearby.

Zhu Bin was not afraid. Tens of 10 people went through the sieve first, and 100 to [-] people were selected and stuffed into simple literacy training classrooms. A huge military camp was built on the beach between Dazhu Mountain and Xiaozhu Mountain, and gradually dispersed. To the construction site of more than [-] square kilometers.

In addition, with the approval of the Ministry of Communications, a main railway line was built from Jiaozhou southward via Rizhao to Lianyungang in the East China Sea, and then southward to connect Yancheng, Haian, and Nantong. , so first get some construction in Shandong Province.

As a result, a large number of workers crowded here were immediately dispersed, and along the eastern coastal area of ​​Shandong, construction in full swing kicked off.

Covered by such a project, Zhu Bin's affairs in Guzhenkou Bay and Langya Taiwan became more and more confusing. By the end of November, the total number of flat-bottomed cargo ships reached 11, and the number of motor vehicles and engineering vehicles on the construction site reached 100. The hundreds of thousands of tons of stones that came out were finally able to operate in time, and the five breakwaters and slipways with a total length of 6 kilometers were laid under the entire harbor, and the most critical underwater foundations were all done. The huge pile of stones and sand was finally cleaned up. On the surface, it was no longer so conspicuous. The huge platform moved its heavy body again, and at the mouth of the bay, a huge breakwater with a width of 30 meters like a small Great Wall began to be built.

This is the top priority, and there is no room for sloppyness. Zhu Bin deployed a whole regiment of special forces here, and all the amphibious landing ships and armored landing ships also came to guard day and night. Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns and coastal defense guns transported secretly were deployed up and down the mountain to form a densely packed air defense and coastal defense base, plus a temporary airport capable of accommodating 24 fighters. Zhu Bin believed that unless the Japanese army Use the main force of the United Fleet to do it, otherwise you want to make trouble for yourself, unless they are impatient

On November 11rd, the main body of the GD Group Building at No. 23 on the Bund was completed, and the interior and exterior decoration work began. I watched the huge light blue glass curtain wall panels being lifted by a crane to more than 36 meters into the sky. The workers tremblingly inlaid the frame, and Zhu Bin felt full of peace of mind, thinking about the appearance after completion, and felt that this was a bit of the taste of the technological age. Looking at the entire Bund, all the old-fashioned stone buildings are simply too monotonous.

That's right, the glass curtain wall

From the very beginning, he didn't intend to build a high-rise building that looked like this era. The bottom floors were all made of big stones, marble inlays, and various relief patterns. It's still baroque, it's just a stone, a stone, or a stone, which is very uncomfortable

So Zhu Bin participated in the design process. First of all, he made drastic changes to the shape of the building structure, which was something that no one else had heard of. From the structural steel to the glass curtain wall outside, they were all redesigned and produced, inlaid with frames, bolts, and glued together. Rubber strips, sealing strips, etc. should not be adjusted from scratch.If it were someone else, he could only stare blankly, but he didn't take it seriously---Many factories in Baoshan Industrial Zone had already determined the future production direction at the beginning of the design, and all of them were carried out around the product line he wanted.

He is the biggest customer in the entire industrial zone

After completion, the GD Group building will surely shock the whole world. Zhu Bin is sure of this when he sees the building being secretly constructed with steel pipe scaffolding, nylon protective net and canvas.

After inspecting around, he was ready to return to the ancient town of Kouwan, ready to arrange for the use of two large shield tunneling machines shipped from Germany, but unexpectedly, he hadn't left yet, and was blocked at home by uninvited guests who came to him.

The person who came was actually Alfred Krupp Jr. who rarely expressed his opinions or showed up in business.

"Alfred, why do you have the time to come? You are really a rare visitor." If you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, the Germans will never show hospitality for nothing. Zhu Bin felt that there must be something here.

Little Alfred still had the old-fashioned and prudent appearance, but he still hadn't learned the completely shameless manner in the mall. He felt a little embarrassed when facing Zhu Bin, which made Zhu Bin's guess even more solid, so he naturally accepted it. Get up the mentality and wait and see.

Liu Lishi, the general manager of Lihe Matheson Co., Ltd. who accompanied him here, was too shrewd, so he opened up the topic with a smile on his face: "You two haven't seen each other for a year, this time we must have a good talk, I think we will be able to get the order." Satisfactory results."

The vaccination was done very well, and Zhu Bin had plenty of time to talk to him, so he dealt with it with a smile, and after a chat every day, he slowly got down to business.

Little Krupp said: "The construction of several large-scale construction machinery and super-large equipment you ordered has been completed, and the main structure of the 'Honeycomb' amphibious assault ship has also been completed, and it will be launched in about three months. In addition, The destroyers, submarines and supply ships you ordered in July have also started construction, and I believe that in another year or so, China will have a strong maritime force."

Zhu Bin nodded with a smile: "Thanks to the help and support of our German friends. If we rely on ourselves alone, it is absolutely impossible to build so many ships in such a short period of time. The industrial conditions, the quality of workers and the international environment will not allow it. I am very grateful for this.”

Little Krupp seemed to be slightly relieved, hesitated for a moment, and said a little reluctantly: "In addition, we have initially built a miniaturized experimental plant for the special high-strength alloy smelting equipment you provided, and the results are very satisfactory. But we have noticed that to smelt the same alloy material, it seems that many technical links and raw material conditions are lacking, I wonder if you have missed anything?"

"Omission? That's absolutely not possible." Zhu Bin seriously refused to admit it. "It is the crystallization of the highest technology in our gd laboratory. Every link cannot tolerate any omissions, and the required conditions are too high. Therefore, over the years, We also only have a small amount of products available. Well, I think, there are a few problems that you may not have solved. One is the purity of raw materials, which needs to reach the laboratory level, and the formula of metal materials does not allow [-]% The first is the deviation of the second, I think you have not noticed the role of some rare metal elements."

The standard boxes made of space junk metal were used by the Germans as treasures. They first introduced smelting technology for remelting and manufacturing, but it is too difficult to go further and directly smelt more metals from minerals and raw materials.

The key point is that Zhu Bin is too cheating. He didn’t tell the Germans that this is a difficult job that can only be done by metallurgical technology in the space age. Not to mention anything else, a vacuum melting furnace or a microgravity smelting furnace is difficult to do, and the addition and control of various trace elements , In another 100 years, it may not be guaranteed.

But he would never say it. He still counts on the Germans to help him build a production line, which can be used after a little modification. The Germans themselves... might as well delay it.

Little Krupp frowned and thought hard about what went wrong, but Liu Lishi, the old fox, heard the problem and asked, "Then Mr. Zhu thinks, which trace elements have the greatest influence?"

Zhu Bin raised his finger and calculated with them: "The contents of vanadium, molybdenum, nickel, and chromium all need to be carefully controlled within a certain range, but the key is that the high temperature resistance and plasticity of rhenium superalloy all come from its function."

Rhenium is a rare metal discovered and named by the German chemist Nodak. It is very difficult to extract it even in the laboratory, let alone industrial production.Little Krupp knew that it was in the formula, but he didn't expect that this metal would be so important.

However, he immediately realized that the gd laboratory can produce alloy plates in large quantities, so they must have the ability to refine and use rhenium metal in batches

"Mr. Zhu, can you provide the raw ore and refined product of this metal element?" Little Krupp had to make a request that he knew he would be slaughtered.He is so smart that he can figure it out, Zhu Bin must have dug a lot of holes, otherwise, how could he easily give them the high-strength and golden technology and formula?

However, Zhu Bin was very generous, and he answered immediately with his expectant and apprehensive eyes: "This kind of mineral content is very low on the earth. As far as we know, the closest to here is the 'Zezhu Island' in the north of Japan." In fact, the reserves are relatively abundant. But I have to remind you that the price of this metal is not lower than that of gold.”

"Thank you for your information." Little Krupp was secretly excited, knowing the source would be easy. In today's world, few people know the industrial value of rhenium, but Germany is unique in this respect. Buying and selling is not impossible.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "In addition, there is something I want to discuss with you. From last year to now, we have smelted 450 million tons of ore, of which about 9000 tons of silver have been extracted. We can't use so much, and China is now It's still on the silver standard, do you want us to ship some?"

"Shipping me as much as you want"

Zhu Bin almost jumped up, 3 tons of silver, more than [-] million silver dollars, just useful

The 210th nine thousand tons of silver?I want!
