The chief engineer of the steelmaking base is Shi Hao, a descendant of the third-generation industrial system of the Shi family.

The large open-hearth furnace can melt 10,000 kilograms of steel at a time. The workers pushed the thick asbestos insulation wall shield to the mouth of the fire. After observing the flame distribution and color through the black glass, the fire master stretched out a long ladle and first observed the flame at the mouth.

When the furnace is heated to red, slowly reach into the furnace and scoop out the molten steel sample.

All equipment and raw materials for sealed furnaces that enter working condition must undergo strict dehydration. In the Shangzhou Zhou case the year before last, a furnace exploded violently because workers added coal that was soaked by rain but was not completely dry. Nine people were killed.

Death of workers.

In the subsequent design plan, a drop chute was added. The material can be heated and dried in the drop chute before entering the furnace.

Soon after the molten steel was taken out by the workers, it became a semi-solidified state. Several technicians quickly took it out, hammered, quenched, and tested it. After confirming that the steel was qualified, they rang the big bell in the workshop and began to clear the place. The workers pushed it in

Receive the steel drum and prepare to tap steel.

The taphole also needs to be sprayed by a flame spray device to heat up and remove water. As soon as the taphole is opened, the temperature and brightness of the entire workshop suddenly skyrocket.

Su You hid behind the protective shield from a distance, feeling like he was about to be scorched.

Bright molten steel splashed and poured into the steel barrels. Workers wearing asbestos protective clothing and sunglasses were unaware of the situation. They caught the barrels of molten steel, transported them away, poured them into molds, and then sent them to the huge hydraulic rollers.

The rolls in the rolling mill are deformed and turned into plates and steel bars.

After that, there are countless heat treatment processes and pickling processes before it can finally become qualified steel.

After coming out of the workshop, Su You found that he was soaked all over, and said to Su Hu and Shi Hao: "Skilled workers are precious to us. How about their heatstroke prevention and cooling subsidies?"

Su Fe said: "Uncle Yao, don't worry. They have money for heatstroke prevention and cooling every month. They also have medicines and sugar distributed. Let's go, let's go to the next workshop."

After getting on the carriage, the group arrived at the hardware processing factory.

A workshop is producing Shenji blunderbuss tubes.

The steel bars sent from the steelmaking plant are punched and forged into standard tubular shapes, and then put into a heat treatment furnace to soften the steel, reduce its hardness, and turn it into an easy-to-process workpiece.

Then use the lathe to turn it into a solid iron column with a standard outer diameter, and then use the boring machine to bore holes.

After the boring is completed, the rifling machine needs to be used for rifling.

The cutting tools for lathes and boring machines come from Erlin, with rare earth alloy steel cutting heads, which is the only place in Song Dynasty that can provide them.

Each step of the process is tested to strict standards, and then the gun tube is reheated and surface carburized to restore its hardness.

Finally, it needs to be blued to enhance its corrosion resistance in tropical marine areas.

As for the Thunderbolt gun barrel and the more powerful Zhenguo General gun barrel, it is more difficult and the construction period will be longer.

Fortunately, in addition to pipe fittings, other parts of the Shenji Gun can be made by stamping, which is relatively convenient and quick.

For example, with the stabbing gun, Su You saw the workers putting a red-hot steel rod under the stamping machine, and then releasing the forging hammer. The forging hammer slowly lowered, squeezing the steel rod, and in three or two strokes, it was inserted into the die slot.

On the anvil, the shape of the spear was forged.

The apprentice was waiting aside. After the master forged a piece, he took it and quenched it.

The workshop was in full swing, and no one had time to talk to Su You and his team. There were piles of workpieces waiting to be processed around them.

The processing of engineering shovels and knives is simpler. They are pre-shaped steel sheets and iron sheets that can be forged together after heating.

After that comes the pickling workshop, heat treatment workshop, and fine grinding workshop.

There is a lot of noise in the fine grinding workshop. Like the pickling workshop, there are mostly female workers here.

The female workers wear masks and earplugs in their ears, and have their own set of gestures to communicate with each other.

The grinding stones are all standard grinding discs made of silicate mixed with graphite, water, glass, corundum, etc. The weapons are polished into large sizes here, and then sent to the belt sanding machine for fine grinding.

Su You put on linen gloves and picked up a knife blade from a female worker who was responsible for the final polishing process. He saw that at the boundary between steel and iron, there was a curved pattern of steel blades, although it was not as good as the pattern of burnt blades covered with soil.

It is so beautiful and natural, but it also expresses its ingenuity and strength.

"Beautiful!" Su You said with a smile: "This knife is in Bianjing City, so I won't give you two swords, right?"

"I won't give you five guans!" Shi Zhao took the knife and pointed at the small round steel seal after the craftsman's code on the blade, which was a small "Jiao": "Jiaozhi Steel! Just this seal

, it’s worth two!”

The factory works in three shifts, so the workers will be provided with four meals, including breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as midnight snacks.

Su You and his party had lunch in the factory cafeteria.

Rice, curry, and roasted vegetables are the main dishes, as well as fried water spinach and amaranth, a total of seven or eight items.

The soup is pickled cabbage and vermicelli soup.

The management of the factory is that there are many people in Meishan, and the taste is more Sichuan-style, including cold pork head, cold rabbit, and pickles.

Shi Hao introduced: "We have our own three industries here, growing vegetables, raising pigs, raising cattle and sheep, and making sauce. The farm is responsible for these."

Su You tasted the cold diced rabbit and said with surprise: "This is really the taste of Meishan, it hasn't changed at all! Wei'er, try it quickly!"

After dinner, Su You went to the factory building again to listen to the report on Yezhou's construction.

This is a large city that relies on steel, and also involves smelting copper, silver, gold, and tin on the periphery.

On the periphery are three acid and two alkali chemical plants and explosives plants that provide support for the metallurgical industry and the military industry.

The next step is hardware processing.

On the periphery are mineral processing, coal washing, coking plants, and gas plants.

On the periphery, there are various tertiary industries.

This is a brand new immigrant city. Now, including employees and their families, as well as some tertiary industry personnel absorbed from the local area, the total number has reached 30,000.

In addition, it is also an important research base, with specialized exploration institutes, metallurgical research institutes, chemical engineering research institutes and ship design institutes.

Many of the key members of the department are second- and third-generation orphans adopted by Sitong Company in Shu. The gratitude and admiration these people have for Sitong and Su You is self-evident. They heard that Su You and Shi Wei came to visit them.

, people flocked to the hospital to greet him.

Designers often draw pictures and do experiments. Because of the inconvenience of wide robes and wide sleeves, Su You designed the inner clothing for them with military shirts, slim trousers on the outside, open-collared robes as outer clothing, and cloth caps to protect their hair.

In addition, many researchers still wore glasses on their noses, and a group of people came out. Su You thought he had traveled back in time to the research department of a large state-owned factory in the 1980s.

Then a group of young people who looked like future scientific researchers all bowed to Su You. Su You finally recovered and did not go back. He was still in the Song Dynasty.

The Design Institute is a large area. In addition to several reinforced concrete design buildings, there is also a huge square in the middle.

The periphery of the square is a circle of runway, which is the same as the later generation.

Researchers also run every morning to do gymnastics. These two are rigid regulations.

In their spare time, they also played rugby, 捶, Cuju.

The design building is similar to the design building of later generations, and it is only the big five stars on the central gate building.

In the auditorium near the management building, Su Yau awarded several young people who won the Medal of the Institute this year.

Among them, Li Qingyuan, an inventor of large -scale steam -curved technology, Zhan Wenguang, the inventor of the human -shaped railway and the wounder, Wu Chunjing, the inventor of the carburizing technology in the tube, and a researcher at the Cement Research Institute.

However, Liu Shidao, who invented the ceramic grouting molding technology.

When the prize was sent to him, Su Yin also asked: "I want the gluten pot, did your father make it?"

Liu Shidao laughed with a look: "It's almost, it's almost ..."

This baby is a scholar, but hobbies are pot -making. After Su Yin made a purple sand pot in Dingshu Town, Yixing, it was highly sought after by literati. Local cultural people have also participated in the design. Nowadays, eighteen classic types have appeared.

There are also many types of decorative techniques, including stacking, painting, carving, paving sand ...

However, the most sought -after is the professionals, but the literati amateur enthusiasts with ivory pods are carved with calligraphy and painting works.

Su Yin is also one of the players. It is orchid, bamboo leaves, and puppets who are good at clearing. They also often communicate with high -end players on Liangzhe Road.

Liu Shidao's father is a master of bunker. The characteristic of this type is that the lines are complicated, and they play equivalent and symmetrical. All handmade production is extremely difficult.

Later, after moving to Dingshu Town, Liu Father continued to make celadon, and occasionally made a purple sand pot to play.

Liu Shidao invented a method to pour the purple sand device made by his father with gypsum, and then injected mud into the cavity. After the plaster was absorbed, the mold was opened.

Then put on the pot mouth and handle, and the complicated muscular sac, which can be wholesale and produced by this baby.

There were three exactly the same pot appeared on the market, and then Liu's father was quickly sued by the collectors to Su Yau.

Su Yau found clues from the three pots, two of which, there are traces of mud wings at the slot of the mold joint.

It is an imitation, but the mud is the same old mud made of the old Liu. This cannot be fake. It must be that the Liu family has a thief.
