"What do you mean?"

The old Taoist was a little surprised. He had been staying at the steel factory these past few days and did not go back to the courtyard at night. In addition, not many people in the machinery factory knew about Mr. Wang's affairs and did not publicize it to the outside world. Therefore, the old Taoist, including Xu Ning and others,

Do not know at all.

Yang Xiaotao threw the cigarette butt on the ground, and then told what happened that day.

The old Taoist was stunned for a while, and then burst into laughter.

"According to what you said, these little guys are indeed quite expensive."

"However, based on the current situation, in the future, the benefits of the machinery factory will definitely outweigh the disadvantages."

"I estimate that the Seventh Machinery Department will regret this matter in the future."

"You guy, you took advantage of me again this time."

The veteran didn't feel that he was at a loss, especially after getting to know them, he felt that the machine factory had taken advantage.

Of course, the veteran also knows that as long as he continues to invest in this matter, there will be results.

At that time, even just one research result was enough for the machinery factory to recoup its costs.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at the old man, but he didn't expect to speak so highly of these young people.

However, the old Taoist misunderstood something, because if he doesn't need it, Mr. Wang will probably regret it in the past two days.

The two of them were talking and had no intention of telling anyone.

Half an hour later, the liquid oxygen stopped and the converter stopped heating.

Then, under the operation of workers, the converter was dumped, the alloy mixed with various metals was tilted into the barrel, and then moved aside.

Because the converter is small and there is not much molten steel, the cooling rate is relatively fast.

Yang Xiaotao and others didn't wait for it to cool down completely before they stepped forward to check.

The old Taoist held a steel spoon in his hand and wore thick gloves. He came to the bucket, inserted it hard, and then quickly scooped out a spoonful.

You can see that the steel fork is quickly scalding red. The old man quickly pours the molten steel in the spoon into the mold to speed up the cooling.

"It's almost done, give it a try."

After a while, the old Taoist felt something was wrong and said to the people around him.

With that said, he took out the embryo from the mold with iron clips and placed it on the iron felt aside.

Zhao Chuan and Liu Buhui on the side immediately hit it with small hammers, and the outer layer of molten steel was immediately knocked off.

Yang Xiaotao didn't understand it at first, but after being indoctrinated by his proficiency in steelmaking, he knew that this was confirming the hardness of the metal.

As the temperature dissipates and solidifies as it cools, the higher the hardness, the less likely it is to deform when struck.

It’s just that this process is not simple, it requires not only technology, but also a certain degree of vision.

Guan Zhiyong watched for a while and saw that the frequency of beating was a bit low, so he stepped forward and picked up a larger hammer and joined in the beating.

Yang Xiaotao looked at it for a while, then frowned.

Obviously, the hardness of this alloy does not meet the requirements.

Gradually, several other people also discovered something was wrong.

Xu Ning closed his eyes in disappointment, and the others were also sluggish.

The experiment has reached this point and it has been proven that it has failed.

The few people who were wielding hammers also put down their hammers, with frustration on their faces.

Only Guan Zhiyong's face remained unchanged.

I have become accustomed to this kind of failure.

The old Taoist shook his head and muttered a few words about Infinite Heavenly Lord, but did not dare to look at Yang Xiaotao.

The previous 60% certainty was now 10% gone.

Yang Xiaotao stepped forward and looked at the beaten embryo carefully for a while, then looked at a few people and said, "Okay, I won't say any more."

"We are all adults, not children anymore. There is no need to be so downcast if we fail."

"If you don't even have the courage to endure failure and setbacks, then don't do any research."

"Keep your heads up, don't follow me like a girl."

Yang Xiaotao walked up to Zhao Chuan who was sitting on the ground and kicked him on the butt. The latter stood up angrily, and everyone else also regained their composure.

"Since yours failed, try my recipe."

Looking at everyone's appearance, Yang Xiaotao slowly spoke.

In an instant, the old Taoist opened his mouth wide and rubbed his ears, unable to hear something clearly.
