"But the biggest problem for the shipyard is steel."

Li Lei suddenly raised his voice and spoke firmly.

"So, I came back and wanted to make more and better steel and build more and bigger ships for the motherland."

bang bang bang

Yang Xiaotao suddenly stood up and clapped his hands vigorously.

bang bang bang bang

As Yang Xiaotao applauded, people around him immediately started clapping.

"What a great ambition!"

Yang Xiaotao said affirmatively, and finally looked at Li Lei, "Then, Comrade Li Lei, please say what you want to say!"

"good!"

Li Lei didn't think about anything else, but showed a determined expression.

"Leader, I am a student at Nanyuan Technical College. There are many people studying steelmaking there."

"After I came back, I wanted to learn how to make steel from my classmates so that I could devote myself to the revolutionary construction of the motherland."

"There, when I was chatting with a friend, I heard his teacher say that there is a very good boiler in the north that increases production by blowing oxygen from above!"

"So I was wondering, could we..."

After Li Lei said this, Yang Xiaotao clapped his hands fiercely, and everyone clearly saw Yang Xiaotao's smile.

Could it be...

Guan Zhiyong and others felt that Yang Xiaotao did not support their plan before, or that Yang Xiaotao already had his own plan.

It's just that their plan failed to match Yang Xiaotao's.

In fact, when Li Lei said this, a military novel he had read in his previous life appeared in his mind, and there was a term in it that popped out instantly.

"Oxygen top-blown converter steelmaking!"

A kind of steelmaking that is different from the current open-hearth steelmaking, a kind of steelmaking that uses high-pressure oxygen to be blown into the boiler to improve efficiency.

It seems that every protagonist in the novel does this.

Since the protagonist in the novel can do this, as a time traveler, he is naturally the protagonist, and of course he has to try it.

Just when Yang Xiaotao was lost in thought, everyone's eyes were focused on Yang Xiaotao's face.

Gradually seeing the happy expression on Yang Xiaotao's face, everyone felt even more complicated.

Some people hear about oxygen and boilers, and in their impression, steelmaking should use an open-hearth furnace to heat, smelt, and make steel.

Blowing oxygen means blowing air, right?

What's the use?

Guan Zhiyong looked at Yang Xiaotao in astonishment, then slowly lowered his head.

Again, the steel plant just wants a stable transition now. It just needs to overcome this period of difficulties and slowly get back on track.

As for the research direction of the R&D Department, as long as the superior leader and Mr. Yang in front of me agree.

There are many people who have the same idea as Guan Zhiyong. Even when the R&D department of the steel plant was established, everyone was tacitly aware of it.

After all, this is how they used to work.

It's just that there are too many tasks and the production capacity cannot keep up, which leads to the current predicament.

After this is added to the machinery factory, as long as dozens of boilers of various sizes in the steel plant are operating normally, the steel produced will be enough for the machinery plant.

So, let Yang Xiaotao say whatever he likes and do whatever he wants.

This is what most people present were thinking.

Of course, there are also people who strongly disagree.

Zhang Hongxian clenched his fists and looked at the voice from behind with disdain in his eyes. He had also heard of this technology, and some people had even been trying to promote it.

However, the domestic view of this is very weak, including their old skills and old workers, who are not optimistic about it.

In his opinion, the person above must know this and want to achieve "overtaking in corners", so he showed interest.

He didn't think Yang Xiaotao would understand. After all, this oxygen-blowing boiler had just been introduced. The technology involved was not fully understood, and the experience was almost zero. It couldn't be done just by talking.

Moreover, there is another biggest hidden danger, safety issue.

That means blowing oxygen into it. We all know that oxygen supports combustion, but improper operation can lead to a disaster.

That's why this technology was shelved.

After Li Lei finished speaking, when Yang Xiaotao showed his appreciation, Zhang Hongxian couldn't help but raise his hand. Yang Xiaotao did not stop him when he saw it, but stretched out his hand to signal.

Zhang Gongxian stood up. He knew that what he said next might make Yang Xiaotao unhappy, but he felt unhappy if he didn't say it.

"Leader, we have all heard of the new technology that Comrade Li Lei mentioned just now, but it involves many problems."

I thought Yang Xiaotao would be unhappy, but unexpectedly, Yang Xiaotao laughed instead.

bang bang bang bang

What was even more unexpected was that Yang Xiaotao started clapping again.

At this time, everyone around was confused.

Yang Xiaotao was very pleased and said, "You know, studying something is never just a matter of words."

"Only the collision of thoughts can create the spark of creation."

"Since you said there is a problem, then raise it. When we solve the problem, isn't it a kind of progress?"

Yang Xiaotao stood up and walked to Zhang Hongxian, "When the R&D department was established in the steel rolling mill in the past, we would sometimes come up with many solutions for a problem, each of which might be a direction, although it may not be the right one.

But eliminating mistakes is progress."

Yang Xiaotao's sincerity made Zhang Hongxian's resentment dissipate, and Yang Xiaotao's words spoke from the bottom of his heart.

"So, when I told the factory manager about setting up the R&D department, I made two special requirements. What I'm afraid of is that there will be no collisions with people and no collisions with sparks."
