Chapter 599 You Don’t Have to Do Anything

The leaders of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building knew very well that no matter how secretive they kept it, this clue would definitely spread around the world, so it would be better to firmly pin their own names to it.

Over the past hundred years, there are very few scientific and technological achievements named after us.

Speaking of this, we have to mention a famous misunderstanding, the "Zhan's coupler", a coupler used to connect carriages of low-speed trains. Because its Chinese translation is the same as the surname of our famous railway engineer Mr. Zhan Tianyou, many people naively think that this coupler was invented by Mr. Zhan.

Actually, no. It was invented by Citibank Johnny, and Mr. Zhan Tianyou only introduced it for domestic use.

From this simple misunderstanding, we can also see how eager we are to have our own scientific and technological achievements.

No matter what, this blast furnace operating line will be named Gao from today on.

The comrades on the scene showed great enthusiasm for this line, as well as its use and significance. Even though this line was only theoretical and not applied, no one felt that Gao Zhendong was using a theory without practical significance to gild himself.

This line must have its meaning and must be far-reaching.

Everyone present here is an experienced expert in the industry, and just the theoretical part has already allowed them to see many possibilities.

In fact, even decades later, no matter what kind of steel, as long as the blast furnace and its process are improved and optimized, this line or its variants and derivatives can basically be seen.

As for today when all this has not happened yet, how do comrades judge that this line is useful? We have to mention Gao Zhendong's record.

The feat of Gao Zhendong in taking over more than a dozen kinds of materials at the 6011 battle division meeting is still vivid in our minds. From November to now, in less than half a year, the No. 11 Rolling Mill-No. Mill-Beijing Steel Plant consortium has successfully launched six or seven kinds of materials, which clearly indicates a fact.

That is, although Chief Engineer Gao is young, he is really capable. He dares to purchase all the remaining steel grades of 6011, not to attract attention or create gimmicks, but because he is confident.

To put it bluntly, the technical theory proposed by such a comrade is that even if Gao Zhendong drew a ball of wool on the blackboard, everyone would at least study it for half a day until they were sure that it was really just a ball of wool.

The second half of this steel quality meeting basically became a special session on the "Gao's Operation Line", and everyone was discussing how to apply this line to steel production.

It can save energy, which means saving money and increasing production.

It can save materials, saving materials means saving money, and it can increase production.

Being able to change the sequence at the right time can improve efficiency and increase output.

It can control the quality during production. With better quality, there will be less waste and the output can still be increased.

Steel production capacity is really important for us now.

On the battlefield, we were not drowned by the enemy's steel, but relied on the wisdom of our commanders and the flesh and blood of our soldiers.

In life, the shortage of steel leads to a shortage of production tools, housing, and infrastructure...

Obviously, we acknowledge our shortcomings, but we are working hard to change them.

All the comrades present here are working hard towards this goal.

After Gao Zhendong threw out the line, he just watched everyone play freely with a smile and didn't say much. He had already done enough before.

Besides, when it comes to specific operations and applications, he is still far behind those old comrades who have been in the steel industry for more than ten or even decades. It would be better for him to say nothing and let his comrades play freely.

As for Gao Zhendong himself, he spread out his notebook and frantically recorded everyone's ideas and experiences. He was very good at it.

Seeing his performance, his comrades couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, look at Chief Engineer Gao, how humble and willing to learn from others, even though he has such achievements, he still never forgets every opportunity to learn.

To say that they are flattering Gao Zhendong or blindly following him is not the case. This is a natural judgment based on the abilities demonstrated by Gao Zhendong.

To use Gao Zhendong's words from his previous life, when you are making a technical speech, and you see someone at the level of a Thousand Talents Scholar, a Changjiang Scholar, or even an Academician listening to and recording your speech very seriously, you will also feel that he is very humble.

In the end, the results of this meeting were divided into two documents.

One is "Suggestions on Improving Quality Issues in Steel Production".

One is the "Gao's Blast Furnace Operation Line Promotion and Verification Plan".

The former is the outcome that this meeting was supposed to produce, while the latter is what the participants feel is so important that it must not be mixed in with the former and must be written down separately.

Even a factory without quality problems cannot escape the control of this line.

When the meeting was over, almost all the comrades came to Gao Zhendong, who was still hiding in the corner, to express their gratitude and respect. Gao Zhendong stood there without sitting down, like a mascot in a tourist attraction that has been rubbed to a shiny finish by people because of its beautiful meaning, such as the stone on the top of the Dragon Gate of Xishan in Spring City, which is always particularly shiny when the college entrance examination is approaching every year.

After almost everyone had left, the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building and the chief engineer came to Gao Zhendong.

In the eyes of the leader, there is nothing else but two words - "satisfaction"!
I was a little satisfied because Gao Zhendong had a very good grasp of the content of his speech. Although the leader called on Gao Zhendong to speak, he only wanted his technical suggestions. As for other aspects, he was still a little worried that the young man might talk too much, so he was always ready to interrupt or smooth things over.

However, Gao Zhendong's performance proved that his worries were unnecessary.

Of course, this is just a small satisfaction, compared with the satisfaction that comes later, it is nothing.

As for what this great satisfaction is, there is no need to explain.

Looking at Gao Zhendong, the leader was in a very happy mood: "Zhendong, I didn't expect that you didn't delay the 6011 battle and didn't give up your theoretical research work."

As for computers, electronic weapons and equipment, those are just minor things. They were made by our comrade Gao Zhendong when he was tired from his job and played games during his rest time. They are not worth mentioning at all.

Defense Work Committee, the 12th Ministry of Machinery, and the Post and Communications Committee: You say it again?!
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "Truth always comes from practice. I have done a lot of practical work and gained some experience. I think it cannot be wasted. I still need to summarize the laws and theories. I hope it can help other comrades, even if it's just one person."

"Hahaha, the person you helped was not just a comrade. I don't know how to describe it. Well, at least, you helped a comrade, I can be sure of that."

Gao Zhendong was a little surprised. How could he be so specific? "Who?"

The leader pointed at himself and said: "This old comrade of mine! Hahaha~~~~~~~"

The leader made a joke. As the "King of Blast Furnace" and "Lord of Steel", Gao Zhendong's move did help him, because everyone benefits, and it will eventually be reflected in him.

The leader was obviously still in high spirits: "And this old comrade, your line has relieved a lot of pressure on him."

He pointed at the chief engineer of the department, who also laughed. This was true.

If the leader is facing management pressure, then he is facing business pressure here. Steel production technology is his main job, which he is in charge of.

What Gao Zhendong took out today at least pointed out a path for blast furnace-related work, and there are countless treasures waiting behind it.

The most important thing is the road. "No road to go" is one of the most uncomfortable predicaments.

In terms of related work, people will no longer be running around like headless flies as before. This simple line can point out the work direction for many people and provide important tools, which is of great benefit to improving scientific research efficiency.

Many times, the time and cost of "finding the way" is much higher than "traveling the way", and the frustrating thing is that when you can't find the way, you often can't clearly tell where the failure lies.

As for fully tapping the potential of this line, that will probably take a long time. Besides, tapping the potential means getting the technological dividend, which is even more attractive.

In summary, Gao Zhendong solved the KPI problem that the chief engineer of the ministry had been facing for many years in blast furnace production technology.

The three of them laughed together, and their laughter could be heard from far away.

After a long while, the leader of the 17th Ministry of Machinery patted Gao Zhendong on the shoulder and said, "You did a great job! The chief's calligraphy couldn't be better in your hands."

This matter was handled by the leaders of the 12th Ministry of Machine Building, so naturally the 17th Ministry of Machine Building and the Defense Work Committee would be informed of it.

There's no need to talk about his ideas and techniques. Just look at his dedication to work and his workaholic attitude, you can tell whether his work style is strong enough or not.

Besides the admiration for Gao Zhendong, the leader's words also had some other meanings, and those who understand will understand.

The leader didn't say much on this issue and changed the subject with a smile.

"You can arrange your next work by yourself. The department adheres to two attitudes: firm support and no interference. You can do whatever you want." After saying this, the leader looked at Gao Zhendong's body with a little worry, and added something that seemed not so "correct".

"Actually, you don't have to do anything until the 6011 battle is over."

Unit 6011 is still in the battle, so how can Gao Zhendong do nothing? This statement seems a bit contradictory, but it is actually based on his understanding of Gao Zhendong.

In the 6011 campaign, Gao Zhendong was basically only responsible for one thing - talking.

He just moved his mouth and sent the relevant documents down, and basically the comrades from the Third Rolling Mill, Beijing Steel Plant and the Third Factory were able to get things done properly and produce continuous results.

Among them, the step of Gao Zhendong "moving his mouth" is the most important. He talks about core keys such as proportions, processes, heat treatment, etc., but it also seems to take the least time.
