The strongest peasant city

Chapter 1540 Rescue 'Blood Steel'
"Zhang Gong, Zhang Gong, let's do it, you can do this kind of rough work!" The foreman hastily said to Zhang Huairen with an apologetic smile, then turned his head and shouted at the workers: "Still stunned!" What are you doing? Why don’t you weigh it quickly? If you miss the delivery time and cause the experiment to fail, you can go home and pick up the baby!” Several workers came back to their senses as if they had just woken up from a dream. I hurriedly grabbed the bag and weighed it again.No one noticed that Zhang Huairen had already quietly added something to these ingredients while they were in a panic.

Not long after, several people came back after weighing, and the foreman said: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for letting us weigh it again. This bag of raw materials is more than [-] grams more than the prescribed weight." Zhang Huairen boarded He yelled with a straight face: "What did you do? You can't even weigh the weight. This time, you almost ruined the big thing again." The foreman nodded hurriedly, and kept saying yes.Zhang Huairen made an expression of hating iron and steel, sighed and said: "Such things are absolutely not allowed to happen again, otherwise, you all pack up and leave!"

"We remember it, and we will never do it again!" Several workers said with their foreheads.Zhang Huairen waved his hand and said, "It's almost time, let's put it in!" As he said that, he stepped aside, and several workers poured the bag of rare metal raw materials into the huge furnace, and the temperature in the furnace rose a lot in an instant.Zhang Huairen heaved a sigh of relief, subconsciously turned his head to look at Li Xiaogang, and found that Li Xiaogang's gaze was still on the furnace, as if he hadn't noticed what happened on their side at all, and his heart was lifted. It fell to the ground.

The several hours of smelting process ended quickly amidst the tense anticipation of everyone. The time for tapping finally arrived, and the entire workshop held its breath at this moment.The previous dozens of experiments, like this one, went very smoothly, but the results were always disappointing.Zhou Tao's gaze was fixed on the molten steel furnace, and his fists were clenched tightly. Even a blind man could feel the tension in his heart at this moment.Qiu Ping was no exception, his old face was as red as if he had drank a catty of burnt knives.

"Mr. Li one" Zhou Tao looked up at Li Xiaogang.Li Xiaogang nodded and said, "Let's get out of the furnace!" Zhou Tao took a deep breath, and suddenly pressed the control switch, and the molten steel in the furnace flowed into the formwork like a torrent.A piece of steel ingot is formed.After a series of technical treatments such as cooling and quenching, the dazzling silver-white steel ingots slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.These steel ingots exude a silvery brilliance. At first glance, they look like silver ingots, smooth and dense, without the slightest gap.

Seeing these steel ingots at first glance, Qiu Ping and Zhou Tao exclaimed at the same time, and an inexplicable excitement suddenly bloomed on their faces. After more than a dozen failed experiments, they finally saw this perfect steel ingot .

However, the two of them did not dare to express their excitement too much, just because the final test was still needed to see if these were real 'blood steel'.The two forcibly suppressed the joy of success, and cast a consulting look at Li Xiaogang.Li Xiaogang nodded slightly, Qiu Ping and Zhou Tao rushed out at the same time, touching the cooled steel ingot.

The tentacles shone brightly, as if stroking on ice, Zhou Tao couldn't help trembling violently with that perfect touch, and unspeakable shock was written between his brows.Isn't Qiu Ping like this?He has dealt with steel all his life, but this is the first time he has touched a magical steel like 'blood steel'.But when the two were excited, Zhang Huairen had a look of disbelief, and his eyes were filled with deep doubt and incomprehension.He had achieved the same method as this time for the previous dozen failures, but why didn't it work this time?

"This is definitely not the real 'Blood Steel', it just looks better. It will never have the characteristics of 'Blood Steel'." Zhang Huairen desperately comforted himself in his heart, his face looked a little bit Hastily.Li Xiaogang's divine sense took all this into his eyes, the corner of his mouth twitched, showing a sneer, Li Xiaogang said to Zhou Tao: "Try how heavy it is."

Zhou Taoen said, rolled up his sleeves, squatted slightly, and hugged the two ends of the steel ingot. With a sudden force, the steel ingot suddenly left the ground.If it were made of ordinary steel, such a large steel ingot would weigh at least a hundred catties to lift it from the ground, and the strength required cannot be achieved by one person.So Zhou Tao used all his strength this time.But he forgot that this "blood steel" is no more than ordinary steel, it is as light as plastic, and Zhou Tao is like lifting a feather with a hundred catties of strength. Lie down on the ground,.Clutching his sore buttocks from the fall, Zhou Tao stood up excitedly, holding the steel ingot with one hand, waving it wildly, and shouted to Li Xiaogang excitedly: "Mr. Li, we have succeeded, we have finally refined 'Blood Steel'!"

Li Xiaogang chuckled lightly, and said: "Don't be too eager to be happy, and then try its hardness." Zhou Tao nodded, found a heavy hammer from a worker, pointed it at the steel ingot, and the wheel was rounded. The arm was smashed down hard, smashed three times in a row, and then looked at the smashed surface of the steel ingot, it was still as smooth as a mirror, not to mention the traces of depressions, not even the slightest slip marks were left.Everyone present with this hard gauge opened their mouths in surprise.

Before conducting the experiment, Qiu Ping, Zhou Tao and others already knew the characteristics of 'Blood Steel', but at that time, all of this was just a bunch of empty data after all, and now what was in front of them was the real thing. is different.After three consecutive days of torment, he finally succeeded at this time. Qiu Ping's eyes filled with tears of excitement, and his whole body was trembling non-stop.Zhou Tao was no exception, the burden on his body was finally lifted off, his whole body was relaxed and carefree, and he couldn't help but let out a series of wild laughter like shaking the sky.

With Zhou Tao's wild laughter, the whole workshop was boiling.Some of the workers who had worked hard for three days were cheering, and some were embracing each other and weeping. Strong excitement flowed in everyone's heart, except Zhang Huairen.When Zhou Tao used a hammer to confirm that the shiny silver steel ingot exuding metallic brilliance was 'blood steel', Zhang Huairen's mind seemed to be thundered, and it blew him away.

He spent so much thought, but he couldn't stop the emergence of 'Blood Steel' after all, which filled Zhang Huairen's heart with helplessness.Along with helplessness, despair and remorse surged in Zhang Huairen's heart. The experiment of 'Blood Steel' was finally successful, which undoubtedly means that the task assigned to him by Huang Ziwen has completely failed.Thinking of Huang Ziwen's angry retaliation against him, Zhang Huairen couldn't help regretting it. If he had been more determined and returned Huang Ziwen's money back, he would not be where he is today.

When everyone was reveling, Zhang Huairen's eyes suddenly went dark, and his body fell heavily.

"Zhang Gong!" Accompanied by bursts of shouts and violent shaking, Zhang Huairen slowly regained consciousness.Opening his eyes, he saw concerned eyes all around him, which made Zhang Huairen's heart warm, and at the same time, a trace of guilt welled up in his heart, and tears accumulated unconsciously in his eye sockets.

"Zhang Gong, what's wrong with you?" Tong Tao asked nervously while holding Zhang Huairen's hand.Zhang Huairen opened his mouth, but didn't say a word.At this moment, a clear voice echoed in his ears: "I think he is tired! These three days of work every day and night, and the tremendous pressure, even hard-working people I won't be able to bear it." Zhang Huairen turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, where Li Xiaogang looked at him with a smile.Li Xiaogang's smile was so sincere and friendly, Zhang Huairen's heart felt like sunshine and spring breeze.

"Yes, Mr. Li is right. Zhang Gong has indeed been exhausted these past few days. Zhang Gong, I will send you back to rest. You should not come to work these few days. Now the 'Blood Steel' has been tested. It was successful, and the next step is mass production, and it is enough to have me and the old factory manager here." Zhou Tao said to Zhang Huairen full of gratitude and concern.

Zhou Tao's concern made Zhang Huairen feel even more guilty, his face was hot as if on fire, and he said weakly: "Well, I will go back first, and I will leave this place to you." After speaking, he struggled Standing up, there was no need for anyone to send him off, and his back disappeared from the sight of everyone with a somewhat desolate figure.

"What's wrong with Xiao Zhang? I don't think he's very happy?" Qiu Ping had worked with Zhang Huairen for more than ten years and knew Zhang Huairen quite well. At this moment, he couldn't help asking suspiciously as if talking to himself. "Just like Mr. Li said, he must be exhausted! Let him rest for a few more days!" Zhou Tao said, and then facing the crowd, he said loudly: "Brothers, these three days, thanks to everyone Working day and night, this is the result of the success of the trial production of "Blood Steel". Everyone here has contributed. In order to reward everyone's efforts, I will ask the financial department to prepare a thick red envelope for everyone !"

"Yes!" "Thank you!" As soon as Zhou Tao's words fell to the ground, there were enthusiastic cheers from the crowd.Filled with joy and anticipation of the red envelopes, the workers left the company in twos and threes, leaving only Li Xiaogang, Zhou Tao and Qiu Ping.Looking at the steel ingots shining with a dreamlike silver brilliance, Zhou Tao really felt like he was in a dream, and said faintly: "This moment is really not easy, I have waited so hard." Li Xiaogang said with a chuckle: "There will always be rewards for hard work. The hard work you have put in these three days is worthy of such rewards."
