Chapter 140 A handshake between two generations (3k)

Mr. Chen was stunned. You can just eat the eggs, but why do you have to look at the chicken that laid them?

But this is a normal reaction. It is normal for him to want to thank in person the person who solved a big problem in Mr. Xiang's process research.

Besides, taking him to see the trial production site would make him feel more at ease and at the same time see how much effort our 17th Machine Department has put in to solve this problem.

It’s not shabby to promote your own system.

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Xiang, the person leading the trial production of materials is Director Gao of the Research Office of the Technical Department of our factory, and he leads the joint trial production team of our factory and Beijing Steel Plant. They are not in the steel rolling mill now. We are rolling plates here, and the trial production of steel is in a special workshop of Beijing Steel Plant. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Mr. Xiang nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

At this time, the production staff of the rolling mill came to report to Mr. Chen: "Mr. Chen, the third batch of NF material medium plate has been rolled, the yield rate is still more than 80%, and the samples have been taken. Should we send it over immediately?"

Isn't this a coincidence? Mr. Chen laughed at Mr. Xiang and said, "It just so happens that the third batch of NF steel for trial production has been rolled and is ready to be sent to the Beijing Steel Plant for inspection. Mr. Xiang, let's go and take a look together?"

When General Manager Xiang heard the report from the production staff of the Third Rolling Mill, he was already overjoyed. The yield rate of the third furnace remained high, which showed that the process was basically stable. This time there was no need to worry about running out of stock or being too expensive.

The yield rate of the first furnace was low, but the mechanical and corrosion resistance properties basically met the standards. This solves the problem of whether or not it exists. If it is really used as material for process production equipment, the cost will be unacceptable.

The yield rate of the second furnace soared, and the mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties increased slightly to fully qualified, which solved the problem of whether it was available and whether it was expensive.

The third furnace maintained the same yield rate as the second furnace, which solved half of the problem of whether large-scale production can be rolled out. The remaining half depends on whether the mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties are still maintained.

President Xiang was very excited. He wanted to meet the person who developed this steel and to witness with his own eyes the birth of qualified and mass-producible domestic urea steel!

He nodded repeatedly: "Mr. Chen, let's go! Let's go!"

After saying that, he turned his head to look at the people he brought with him and waved his hand: "Comrades, let's go!"

Riding on the vehicle that was delivering samples to the Third Rolling Mill, a group of pioneers dedicated to solving the agricultural fertilizer problem sat on the floor of the back bed of a Jiefang truck, swaying and bumping forward.

Although the conditions are difficult, the mood is good.

Arriving at the Jingcheng Steel Plant, the group came to the NF material trial production workshop.

President Chen said to Gao Zhendong, who was multitasking and working frantically in the workshop, "President Xiang, that is Comrade Gao Zhendong, the leader of our NF material trial production."

The people from the Institute of Chemistry looked up and were stunned.

The leader was only in his 20s, and it was impossible to imagine that he was the leader of NF Materials.

In their impression, a scientific research leader who has made such significant achievements should be at least over 35 years old. As for whether his hair is gray, whether he wears glasses, or whether he is elegant and easy-going, that is a matter of everyone's imagination.

The age of the young man in front of them was completely beyond their imagination.

President Xiang confirmed with President Chen again: "Is it him?"

Mr. Chen knew what they were thinking, but he didn't care. He smiled and nodded: "Yes, it's him!"

A group of people walked up to him. Without waiting for General Manager Chen to introduce him, General Manager Xiang stepped forward and shook Gao Zhendong's hand: "Comrade Gao Zhendong, thank you!"

Gao Zhendong was a little confused by this sudden attack, but his first reaction was still very accurate: "No, no, it's what we should do!"

Seeing Mr. Chen accompanying some visitors, I guess they are the company that has solved a big problem because of our materials.

Mr. Chen then came over and introduced the two parties.

Gao Zhendong then realized that this was the person who was researching the industrial production process of urea.

He solemnly shook President Xiang's hand and said, "President Xiang, we are the ones who should say thank you. Thank you!"

Seeing the scene of the two generations of scientific research leaders, one young and one middle-aged, clasping hands tightly, the eyes of the two teams became moist.

President Chen broke the solemn but happy scene: "Zhendong, we have brought the samples of the third batch of rolled plates. Let's arrange for the project team to inspect them."

He did not say that the comrades from Beijing Steel Plant were all comrades from the project team.

Gao Zhendong called on the project team to start work, and smiled at General Manager Xiang and General Manager Chen, "Master, you and General Manager Xiang have come at the right time. The fourth batch of NF steel has been refined and is just right for rolling. After refining and testing, the fourth batch still maintains the same mechanical and corrosion resistance as the second and third batches. Now it depends on the performance of the third batch of plates and the fourth batch after rolling."

Mr. Xiang was very happy. If it was confirmed to be completely usable after inspection, maybe there would be enough urea steel for the process test project this time.

He asked Gao Zhendong excitedly: "Director Gao, how many qualified plates can be produced from these batches of steel?"

Gao Zhendong calculated it for him one by one: "Boss Xiang, the situation is like this. The first batch of steel had a yield rate problem due to cracks, so the entire batch was scrapped. Except for a small number of samples kept as scientific research records, the rest were recycled."

“However, judging from the current situation of the second, third and fourth furnaces, if nothing unexpected happens, each furnace should be able to produce more than three tons of corrosion-resistant steel medium plates, for a total of about ten tons. But now we can only say that we have a good chance of success, and we still have to wait for the final result.” As soon as these words came out, the people at the Institute of Chemistry were excited.

"Ten tons! If all the requirements are met, it will be enough for the process test project in our research."

"Yeah, I never thought that happiness would come so suddenly, hahaha."

"We'll take them back with us when we return."

"."

When President Xiang heard what Gao Zhendong said, he immediately made a decision: "We will not leave. We will wait for the final result in Beijing!"

But the waiting was not boring. While communicating technical issues with the people in the urea steel trial production group, I watched Gao Zhendong multitasking and output like crazy. Those who were interested also listened carefully to the content about safety production management. Time passed quickly.

The technicians of that era had their own way of entertainment.

At lunch, Director Tan, who had heard the news, came with a group of factory leaders from the Beijing Steel Plant. They were very respectful of the work of everyone at the Institute of Chemistry, and no matter what, they had to accompany General Manager Xiang for the meal.

Mr. Chen took the fourth batch of steel back to the third rolling mill to roll plates, while the others waited until late at night, and the performance test results of the third batch of plates were all released.

In order to achieve this inspection speed, Beijing Iron and Steel Plant postponed all other non-essential inspection items and mobilized all personnel, equipment and instruments to ensure the inspection of corrosion-resistant materials.

Although it was very late at night, everyone was in high spirits and not sleepy at all.

The reason is easy to guess. The test results of various indicators of the third batch of steel plates are basically the same as those of the second batch. The data fluctuations are within the normal range and still fully meet the level required by the overall process.

With Mr. Xiang, the user, fully affirming all the indicators of the board materials, the prospects of the project have become clearer.

Combined with the inspection data after the fourth batch of steel refining, we can even say this in advance.

Domestic urea steel, a complete success!

The next morning, Mr. Xiang, who had insisted on waiting for the test results until midnight the night before, just took a short nap and went straight to his mother's home - the Department of Applied Chemistry with someone.

He wanted to report the good news and beg for alms and transportation. He wanted to transport the urea steel plates back and bring everyone back at the same time, thus saving some transportation costs.

Although both the Beijing Steel Plant and the Third Rolling Mill were willing to provide support as long as he asked, it would of course be best if the problem could be solved within their own system. The fact that the comrades from the 17th Ministry of Machine Building were able to produce urea steel so quickly was already the greatest support they could give.

The highest leader of the Department of Applied Chemistry is very familiar with General Xiang. After all, what General Xiang does is one of the most important things right now.

The leader of the Department of Applied Chemistry also said that if any support was needed, one should report to him directly. This time, General Xiang came to report to him.

Mr. Xiang is lucky because his leader is in the department and he doesn't need to look for anyone else.

Led by the communicator of the Ministry of Applied Chemistry, General Xiang entered the leader's office.

The leader was a joker. When he saw that Mr. Xiang was full of joy, he waited until the messenger left and then he joked, "Mr. Xiang, you look like this. Do you have any good news?"

Xiang Gong smiled and nodded: "Leader, there are happy events, but there are also things that require help from the department."

The leader is very pragmatic. If there are difficulties, let’s talk about the difficulties first.

"What do you need support with? Let's see if I can help you solve the problem first."

"Leader, I need two trucks to help us transport a batch of materials from Beijing. I shouldn't have bothered the department, but this batch of materials is quite important, so I came to the department to ask for help."

The rated load of Jiefang trucks is 5 tons. If nothing goes wrong with this batch of urea steel, it will be 10 tons. Two trucks are just right. In addition to the driver, two more people can sit in the truck cab, which is just enough to carry the four people who came to Beijing.

The leaders of the Department of Applied Chemistry know that if General Xiang tells them that materials are important, then they are really important.

When I heard what he said, I thought, hey, it’s not a big deal, it’s just two cars, why do you need to come to me? The communicator at the door can do it for you.

"That's easy. I'll give them a heads up and you can ask the messenger outside to do it for you. It's just such a small matter, but you've made such a fuss about it."

At this point, the leader realized something.

Why did Xiang Gong come to me for such a small matter? He probably didn't come to me mainly for this matter.

Thinking about it again, Xiang Gong first told him that he had good news and then said he needed help. It seems that what he really wanted to report was this good news.

The good news that he could report to me personally must be no small matter.

Thinking of this, the leader of the Department of Chemical Engineering laughed out loud: "Xiang Gong, you have learned how to set an ambush. Tell me, what's the good news?"
