Chapter 131: Too good materials is also a problem (3k)

There was no story that because Gao Zhendong was young, some people were dissatisfied, challenged the authority, and then pretended to be slapped in the face.

Most comrades of this era were relatively simple-minded. If they understood the orders, they would execute them. If they did not understand them, they would still execute them. Of course, there were also cases where they were not convinced, but Gao Zhendong did not encounter that this time.

The reason is simple. Several people who are engaged in research at Beijing Steel Plant called Gao Zhendong "Teacher Gao" at the Third Rolling Mill not long ago.

In addition to the technology transfer during the conversion of 591, 592, and 593, Beijing Steel Plant was responsible for the production of one of the steel grades. Their production technicians also consulted Gao Zhendong a lot, and even ordinary questions were not enough to consult Gao Zhendong.

So when Gao Zhendong arrived, the comrades here were very welcoming. Even a deputy director of Beijing Steel Plant made a special trip to receive him and was responsible for the liaison.

In terms of rank, he is much higher than Gao Zhendong, the nominal deputy section chief. The sincerity of Beijing Steel Plant's cooperation is not to be underestimated.

This shows the importance we attach to Gao Zhendong. They are all enterprises directly under the 17th Ministry of Machine Building. They know that Gao Zhendong has more than one brush. He runs a brush shop and has many brushes.

Moreover, Beijing Steel Plant has a little plan. Since the Third Rolling Mill does not have the equipment and workshop to trial-produce this type of steel, if this type of steel is successfully trial-produced in our plant, does it mean that we will have one more flagship product?

Look, what a simple and honest idea, what an ordinary hope.

For this research trip to Beijing Iron and Steel, half of the people from the first research laboratory of the steel rolling mill came, and the other half stayed in the steel rolling mill.

In addition to the daily work of the steel rolling mill, the material this time is to be directly rolled into medium and thick plates and directly become finished products.

Steelmaking is the business of Beijing Steel Plant, but plate rolling is the specialty of the Third Steel Plant.

So Gao Zhendong divided all the personnel into two groups, with both sides moving forward at the same pace.

The comrades who came to Jinggang were prepared for a protracted war, but Gao Zhendong did not think so.

It was not because of anything else, but because the original materials he obtained were too detailed.

Optimistically speaking, this process should be shorter than ESR.

After a brief welcome ceremony, everyone quickly got into the swing of things and started their respective work.

Gao Zhendong is explaining the process to the technical staff of Beijing Steel Plant.

". What I said before is the overall requirement for this material. Generally speaking, the requirement is that the less ferrite is generated, the better, and the carbon, sulfur and oxygen content should be controlled as low as possible."

"Director Gao, to what extent do you want to control it?"

"Carbon is less than 3 parts per million, and sulfur and oxygen are around 1 part per million or even less."

When this request was made, people at the Beijing Steel Plant gasped.

I know you are awesome, but don't brag.

Steel, a carbon alloy of iron.
From this definition, we can see how deep the relationship between carbon and steel is.

Although the steel produced this time is not steel in the traditional sense, the requirement of four decimal places is indeed a bit high at this time.

Even their testing methods have a detection limit higher than this value, which means that even the best instruments may not be able to measure this content.

"Director Gao, isn't this a bit too difficult?"

"Let's go first. I'm sure of it."

Seeing that Gao Zhendong said so, the comrades from Beijing Steel Plant were also unambiguous and said, "Let's do it. You are not afraid of your height, so we are even less afraid. Let's follow suit."

This means that everyone can express their own opinions in discussions, but once a decision is made, don’t hesitate or procrastinate. Try your best and work together.

Gao Zhendong began to deploy the first step of the work.

"The crude steel is made using stainless steel technology and a 5-ton electric furnace. I have just mentioned the composition. I think you are more familiar than me with how to control these components during the steelmaking process."

No, we are not familiar with each other, the comrades from Beijing Steel Plant thought.

"The main thing in this step of crude steel production is to control the content of iron, nickel, chromium, molybdenum and manganese. Other harmful elements will be dealt with in the next step. After the molten steel is melted, add xxx kg of calcium oxide and xx kg of fluorite. Iron-silicon blocks are used for slag making, and xx kg of iron-silicon powder and carbon are used for reduction. The tapping temperature is 1600~1650 degrees Celsius."

After hearing Gao Zhendong's series of requirements, the people at Beijing Steel Plant felt relieved. Director Gao was so clear about the process without any hesitation, which showed that he had a clear idea in mind. They all wrote down Gao Zhendong's requirements and figured out how to make the first batch of crude steel.
-

While Gao Zhendong was busy making steel, over at the Grassland Tractor Factory, Mr. He was cursing while being happy.

He was happy that he received Gao Zhendong's express delivery, whether it was the catalog of tank weapon stabilization systems brought back by Mr. Luo, or the new artillery steel shipped over.

Mr. He was fascinated by the few pages of paper copied by Mr. Luo.

As he read, he kept saying, "Director Gao is Director Gao. This idea is so thoughtful. He has thought of every aspect of weapon stability." Mr. Luo laughed and teased him, "How can you see so much from just one catalog?"

This sentence was more of a joke, he himself could see a lot of clues.

Mr. He said without giving any face: "Mr. Luo, you don't understand. This thing doesn't seem to be aimed at the current 5DL, but at the stability of all tanks and even weapon systems in similar motion states. It is a textbook that is biased towards theory."

"More theoretical? Can you use it?"

"Of course it can be used. What I lack now is theory. I can basically find solutions to specific problems, but I lack theoretical guidance and analysis. I know the results but not the reasons."

After Mr. He finished speaking, he raised the pages of the catalog in his hand and said, "And Director Gao's product can be used for theoretical analysis and design without the physical object. It doesn't have to be like what we do now, where we have to come up with something out of thin air, find problems, and then make improvements."

"With this, once we have thoroughly understood it, we can directly build a mathematical model in theory, and then proceed with the design. Without the physical object, we can make something that is roughly the same. And when there is a problem, there is enough theoretical guidance and mathematical tools to analyze it."

After saying that, he shook his head and sighed: "Director Gao is amazing. He is worthy of being a graduate of automation. He has profound attainments in this kind of system control. This time, the double stability is considered stable! Hahahaha."

Seeing him so proud, Guan Zong suddenly stabbed him in the back: "It's a pity that you can't get it in a short time."

Mr. He was like a chicken with its neck strangled. He turned his head and said to Mr. Guan: "But I can always get it! With this way of double stability, I can temporarily focus on the cannon and bullets. Old Guan, you wait for me!"

At this point, Mr. He remembered one thing. The first batch of electroslag remelted cannon steel trial-produced by ESR of the Third Steel Rolling Plant had already been delivered. It was a good opportunity to quickly tinker with a cannon and torture Lao Guan.

Thinking of this, he no longer cared about anything else, quickly said goodbye to Mr. Luo and Mr. Guan, and ran to work on the cannon.

Looking at Mr. He's hurried back, Mr. Luo and Mr. Guan couldn't help but burst out laughing.

However, Mr. He, who was so excited, was hit hard by reality.

Strictly speaking, it was a good thing, but it was so good that it caught him off guard.

The gun steel is very good. Intuitively speaking, its toughness and hardness exceed those of the original gun steel without electroslag remelting, but there is a small problem.

——Too hard.

In fact, the increase in hardness was not extremely exaggerated, but it exceeded the capabilities of his existing processing equipment.

When milling the gun barrel, we found that the original processing parameters were a bit inconsistent, so we had to adjust the processing parameters and extend the processing time.

This made Mr. He wait very uncomfortably.

After finally milling the hole and starting to squeeze the barrel to tighten it, I discovered a problem: I couldn't squeeze it in.

Neither the mandrel used for extrusion nor the pressure of the hydraulic press were clearly suitable for this new thing.

This matter made Mr. He laugh and cry. The material was too good to be processed. What should he do?
But then I thought, this just proves the quality of this gun steel, add more gunpowder to me! Add more gunpowder to me!
With anxiety, Mr. He started to write a report, saying that he needed a more expensive tungsten carbide mandrel and a larger hydraulic press.
-

At night, Gao Zhendong returned home after a busy day at Beijing Steel Plant. The progress of Beijing Steel Plant was good. Since Gao Zhendong's requirements were very clear and he explained the process very clearly, the preparation work for crude steel refining at Beijing Steel Plant progressed very quickly and the first batch of crude steel could be produced tomorrow.

Gao Zhendong, who was not so busy at the site, started to take time out to write his safety production and operating system codes. He brought a stenographer and several people who were going to serve as safety production training instructors.

His way of doing two things at once amazed the people at the Beijing Steel Plant, but was nothing new to the people at the Third Rolling Mill.

After learning that Director Gao had always been like this, the people at Beijing Steel Plant couldn't help but sigh that extraordinary people must have extraordinary qualities.

As for the tank gun stabilization system, he did not write it at the Beijing Steel Plant because that thing was a bit sensitive and inappropriate. Instead, he went home and wrote it himself.

The operating system is relatively large and complicated, so Gao Zhendong is not in a hurry. Besides, it is really difficult to work on this thing if you are not in the computer room.

Unlike small things like tape recorder drivers, operating systems need to be debugged while being written, otherwise it will become a pile of shit and you won't be able to adjust it.

You can't really expect that one bug is a bug and a bunch of bugs can work.

Gao Zhendong, who was tired of writing, stretched and started to browse the stores in the system. Ever since the two big products C8008 and C1103 were released, he liked to browse the stores when he had nothing to do to see if there were any strange things.

However, there are too many commodities in the supermarket, which pollutes the information.

But this time, he really found something good.

This thing should have come from the outdoor products section of the supermarket. When Gao Zhendong saw it for the first time, his eyes lit up and he immediately took it out.

According to the nature of system transformation, the upper limit of its transformation technology level depends on the existing technology level. Fortunately, although one of the best materials for this thing has not yet been popularized, it has been prepared, and extracting it will not reduce its technology level too much.
