Chapter 22: The First Project! Done!

Gao Zhendong did not comment. He really wanted to touch the gun. The gun is really the speed bump for men. Let Section Chief Li do it.

After the two finished talking, they went back to their respective offices and didn't mention it again.

I returned to the office and rested until the afternoon work, when Sister Fang came over.

Sister Fang handed over a stack of record sheets: "Team Leader Gao, I went through all the high-temperature materials in the factory, and this is the result."

Gao Zhendong took it and said, "Tell me the general situation."

Fang is very familiar with the data, so she said without hesitation: "Basically, they can't stand 1300 degrees. Most of them can't even stand 1300 degrees. All indicators drop sharply before 1000 degrees."

After that, she pointed to a few lines on the record sheet and said, "These are the types. 1300 can last for a while. The mechanical properties are OK within this range. However, after returning to room temperature, the properties change greatly. The oxidation resistance is not good at this temperature."

Gao Zhendong looked through the recorded data carefully. Well, these are all iron-chromium alloys with a chromium content of more than 10. You may not be familiar with this, but you will be familiar with their other name: stainless steel.

In fact, the name chromium later became a symbol that everyone is familiar with but not aware of. In the early years, when someone said that a metal product was wear-resistant, durable and rust-proof, they would say, "This is plated with chromium." The "chromium" here is chromium. Later, most people who go online have come into contact with this symbol, but they may not realize that: Google's Chromium open source browser project, Chromium here, is the English name of chromium. Later, most browsers used or used a version of this open source engine. I'm getting off topic.

Gao Zhendong thought about it and said to Sister Fang, "Sister Fang, please pick out the most durable material here and inform Master Yi to use it to process the protection tube and flange. It is enough for the experiment. What we are verifying now is the installation and protection, as well as the temperature response. Other characteristics and oxidation resistance are not a big problem for the time being."

Sister Fang nodded to show that she understood. Gao Zhendong continued, "As for the mass-produced protective tubes, we can try to refine the alloy ourselves. I'll give you a list of materials. You and Liu Rongguo will work together to finalize it."

Gao Zhendong made a list, and then an idea flashed in his mind. He remembered a historical video that he had won in a lottery last Friday, so he added a few more materials and handed the list to Sister Fang.
-
It's Friday in the midst of busy life. To be honest, Gao Zhendong always has a habitual illusion that he can rest after Friday. However, the reality is that he still has to work another day on Saturday. This feeling is very uncomfortable.

In the afternoon, Gao Zhendong was working when Deputy Section Chief Zhao and Xiao Yu came in happily with a stack of forms.

"It's done, the experimental data is very good." Deputy Section Chief Zhao waved the form in his hand.

Gao Zhendong stood up and greeted Deputy Section Chief Zhao: "Section Chief Zhao, have you finished the test of the return air furnace?"

Deputy Section Chief Zhao smiled and nodded, "Yes, yes, by making the temperature of thermometers evenly set in the same room rise to the same temperature, the return air furnace saves more than 10% of coal compared to the traditional iron furnace. In addition, because the furnace body is larger, the heat is more evenly generated, and the chance of scalding people by the outer wall of the furnace is much smaller. At the same time, the firepower is easier to control, and the secondary combustion and gas problems are much smaller. When fire is urgently needed, the firepower rises faster. In short, it is worth the extra money. Your design is great. It looks ordinary, but it is truly for the people. But the two Type B units are not very effective."

When Gao Zhendong heard that Type B was not very effective, he almost laughed out loud, but luckily he held it back.

He quickly glanced at the data, looked at Deputy Section Chief Zhao, and tilted his head to the next door: "Section Chief Zhao, shall we go to Chief Engineer Chen to report?"

As he said this, he handed the record sheet to Deputy Section Chief Zhao. His meaning was very clear: this is a good thing, and you are the team leader, so you should report it.

Deputy Section Chief Zhao nodded: "Yes, yes, Zhendong, let's go!"

The two of them took the data, came to Chief Engineer Chen's office, knocked on the door and went in.

In Chief Engineer Chen's office, there was another person sitting on the sofa with his legs spread out. He was obviously very familiar with Chief Engineer Chen. Gao Zhendong looked closely and saw that it was Director Yang, the one who also appeared in the TV series.

When Deputy Section Chief Zhao saw Director Yang was also inside, he quickly apologized: "Ah, Director Yang, Mr. Chen, are you busy? Sorry to bother you. I'll come back later."

Director Yang waved at him and said, "No, no, we've finished our discussion. Come and sit down. I see you guys are so happy. If you have any good news, let me hear it and share in your happiness."

Mr. Chen knew what was going on as soon as he saw it: "Has the project of the return air secondary combustion energy-saving solid fuel daily furnace produced any results?" With Director Yang present, when he talked about the project, he used that technically gimmicky and incredibly long name.

Deputy Section Chief Zhao nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, Mr. Chen, the effect is very good."

When Director Yang heard this, he asked, "What furnace?" As the leader of the steel mill, he was very sensitive to this word: "What kind of furnace did you build? For production?"

Mr. Chen looked pleased: "No, no, it's just a household stove. Chief Zhao, can you introduce it to the factory director?"

Deputy Section Chief Zhao quickly took the data and explained the whole story of the project and the test results. He also took out the data records and showed them to the two leaders one by one, explaining them as he pointed.

After Director Yang figured out the whole thing, he took the data and looked at it carefully for a long time. Although Gao Zhendong thought that the technological content of this thing was not very high, in Director Yang's eyes, it was practical and easy to promote. It was an original innovation of the factory and it also served the great purpose of serving the people. It was big enough to launch a satellite.

After a long time, Director Yang put down the information and slapped the table: "Good! Good stuff! This is a product that is truly for the people. Although it is not closely related to our main business, it is a product that truly sees the difficulties and needs of the people. We truly regard the people's needs as our goals and direction, and work together to come up with a good product that can solve the people's difficulties. That's the name, hiss~~~~~~" Director Yang looked a little grim.

Chief Engineer Chen immediately took over the conversation: "This thing is called a return air furnace, I named it!" It was obvious that he did not want to give Director Yang the chance to name it.

Director Yang also knew that General Manager Chen had seen through his thoughts. He smiled and nodded at General Manager Chen and continued speaking: "The chief designer Gao Zhendong, is that you?" After saying that, he looked at Gao Zhendong.

Gao Zhendong smiled and nodded: "I am only responsible for the design, and Section Chief Zhao led the team to do the production and testing."

Director Yang gently patted the cover of the test record with his hand and said, "I have heard for a long time that a college student from Wudaokou College has been assigned to the factory. He is a man of both literary and martial arts, young and promising, and he really lives up to his reputation. You all have worked hard and deserve credit!"

Chief Engineer Chen smiled and asked, "Old Yang, isn't my apprentice good?"

Director Yang was stunned: "You old man are really quick to act."

Chief Engineer Chen took the test record, looked at it, and said casually: "Well, Type B failed. Deputy Section Chief Zhao, you can calculate how much the two Type B machines cost later. Zhendong and I will buy them ourselves. We can't let the factory suffer losses."

The master and his apprentice, Lao Chen and Xiao Gao, knew exactly what this Type B was. When Lao Chen mentioned it again in front of Director Yang, it was nothing more than an endorsement.

Director Yang has been a veteran for many years. What the hell are these two masters and apprentices doing? I have never heard of anyone who has to pay for the test products when doing research for the public. Failed test products are still test products. As long as the project is launched with all the necessary procedures, there is no such thing as private payment.

He immediately picked up the materials and took a closer look at the Type B test product, and he immediately understood what these two weirdos, one old and one young, were up to.

He rolled his eyes and rejected it immediately: "That won't work. I've never heard of anyone having to pay for normal scientific research work in the factory. This loss, no, it's not a loss at all. The cost of the experimental materials must be paid by the factory!"

Seeing Old Chen's face fall, Director Yang felt a little pleasure of revenge and changed the subject: "However, in order to encourage our scientific researchers, these two scrapped machines will be awarded to you two, master and apprentice."

Director Yang suddenly became alert, feeling relaxed all over, with a look of pride on his face that said, "You want to gain fame and enjoy it first, but I won't let you do that. You can enjoy it, but keep the fame for me!!!"

Mr. Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Okay, okay, then I can save money." The two of them have been fighting with these little tricks for half their lives, and they still enjoy it.
Director Yang stood up and said, "As expected, you have good news. I will go back to the publicity department and publicize this matter. Old Chen, let's discuss how to reward them at the factory meeting later."

Then he turned to Deputy Section Chief Zhao and said, "Section Chief Zhao, the people from the Propaganda Department, the Sales Company, and the Logistics Department will come to you later. Please cooperate well. This thing is good. The Sales Company can buy it, and the Logistics Department can also make a batch for use in the factory."

　Today, I will post an extra chapter to celebrate.
