Chapter 1240 If Yours Doesn't Work, Let's Try Mine

"Team leader, it's bad, Mr. Yang is here."

Chen Yongsen just went out to the toilet, and on the way back, he happened to see Yang Xiaotao getting off the car, and he immediately ran back when he thought of something.

At this time, the Taoist priest was leading Xu Ning and others to wait for the workers to drive the big crane over and pour the molten iron into the converter.

Then Chen Yongsen ran in from outside, shouting as he ran.

"It's bad, Mr. Yang is here?"

"What? Who? Mr. Yang is here?"

Chen Yongsen was startled, and then subconsciously looked at the materials on the ground.

The other people looked at each other, and then looked at the Taoist priest.

The Taoist priest was stroking his beard, thinking about the alloy.

He also knew something about the recent situation of the machinery factory.

Now, the machinery factory has no shortage of ways, nor is it short of good things, but the only thing it lacks is materials.

Especially alloy materials.

The last time I drank with Yang Xiaotao, I mentioned the improvement of machine tools. At that time, Yang Xiaotao said that with the current technology of the machinery factory, it is completely possible to make some improvements to the Venus machine tool.

We can even make new designs based on this to further optimize the Venus Star.

But the difficulty is that the design is made, but there is no material to support the change.

Just like when the Venus Star was first made, the core components needed tungsten alloy, and if we want to improve and increase the precision, we need more tungsten alloy, or even better alloy materials.

In other words, if we want to improve the machine tool more and more, this material is a problem that must be overcome.

In addition, the requirements for this material are not low for eight-cylinder engines, aircraft engines, etc.

Although the old Taoist left the Second Machine Department and retired, he has worked in the local area for more than ten years. He always has a few good friends, and some things can't be hidden from him.

Just thinking about it, I saw a group of people looking at him, and then Chen Yongsen's voice came to my ears.

"Mr. Yang? Yang Xiaotao?"

Suddenly, a few beards on my hand were torn off, and it felt like a needle prick.

"No way, Mr. Yang won't stop us!"

Zang Wei did not answer, but said with some worry, and glanced at the materials that had been sorted out around him, which would be added to the furnace later for smelting.

After hearing this, several people around him looked at Zhang Laodao.

"Impossible, it won't be that fast!"

"I just handed the document to the office this morning. Even if they look at it, it will take them noon!"

The old Taoist was still a little scared. After all, this matter was his "dictatorship".

The old Taoist muttered to himself, and several people around him were furious.

"You just gave it this morning? Didn't we agree on it yesterday?"

The old Taoist blushed and let the cat out of the bag. He immediately explained, "I originally wrote the report yesterday, but I didn't prepare these things. I forgot for a while!"

"But it doesn't matter. I gave it this morning. There is no problem with the process."

After hearing this, several people didn't believe his nonsense. If there was no problem, why would General Yang come so early?

He didn't even call, he came directly!

Obviously he was asking for punishment!

Several people were worried, just like children waiting for their parents after doing something wrong, they were a little uneasy.

At this time, Yang Xiaotao and Guan Zhiyong walked in from outside. The two hurried, which made everyone feel depressed.

When Yang Xiaotao arrived outside the workshop, he saw from a distance that the Taoist priest led a group of people waiting by the small converter. There were some materials on the cart beside them, and several workers were waiting for orders in the distance.

You can tell what they are doing at a glance.

He was still a little angry in his heart.

But this anger slowly subsided as he got closer.

After all, the other party was not just wasting money, they were experimenting.

This process was not like what Yang Xiaotao could do by writing and drawing with a pencil notebook at the table. Every experiment they did had to go through a lot of calculations.

In comparison, they were the real researchers.

How could Yang Xiaotao be angry with such researchers?

In the eyes of the crowd who were a little timid, Yang Xiaotao came closer.

I thought there would be some criticism, but Yang Xiaotao only glanced at the converter and the materials around it after he approached, and then glanced at the Taoist priest, and did not embarrass them in the report.

Things have already started, and there is no point in asking again. Besides, the purpose of his visit this time was not for this matter.

"How sure are you?"

When everyone saw that Yang Xiaotao did not stop them right away, but asked about the success rate, they immediately felt less anxious.

Hearing the voice, the old Taoist stepped forward and said, "We are still 60% sure."

"We tested it before. After adding tungsten, the steel we got was harder than usual. This time we changed the formula, so we are more sure!"

After that, Xu Ning stepped forward and handed a list in his hand to Yang Xiaotao.

"Boss Yang, this is our experimental data from the past few times. There are improvements every time."

Yang Xiaotao took the data sheet, which was full of rows of data, and his mouth twitched.

He felt a little helpless. It would be great if he could give this kind of thing to him.

He only needs to spend pen and ink.

But here, it takes a lot of material and manpower.

However, this is the normal situation of research.

As for Yang Xiaotao's system bug and shortcuts, unless there is a system.

Yang Xiaotao calmed down and saw the final experimental data.

Read it carefully from beginning to end.

It can be seen that the research on tungsten alloy by several people is still fruitful. Yang Xiaotao, who is proficient in steelmaking at the first level, also feels that this formula is somewhat interesting.

only…

This formula was just a hint, and he didn't think it would be successful.

After looking at Xu Ning and then at the others, Yang Xiaotao was about to refuse, but he held it back.

The enthusiasm of these people cannot be dampened.

Taking a deep breath, Yang Xiaotao handed the order to Xu Ning, nodded and said, "Since you are confident, then give it a try."

Xu Ning laughed when he heard this, and the others behind him were also excited.

Zhang Laodao put down the hand stroking his beard and nodded gently. This hurdle was finally over.

With Yang Xiaotao's consent, several people started working with full enthusiasm.

Yang Xiaotao went back and handed the scene over to a few people. Workers not far away received instructions to start operating the converter and started working.

"You didn't go back last night? Is it because of this?"

Yang Xiaotao took out his cigarette and handed it to Lao Dao, "Also, what do you think about killing first and then showing off?"

The old Taoist nodded and smiled, "Why kill first and tell later? This hasn't even started yet!"

"If you were in the machinery factory right now, you would probably have seen it!"

"Yes, I saw it, but even if I didn't agree, you started too."

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, "Also, with so much experimental data, I don't remember agreeing to it so many times!"

But the old man showed a sly smile, "You can't blame me for this. Every time I sign with you, I can't use up all the application materials, so I can only use them again and again?"

Yang Xiaotao almost cut off the cigarette in his hand, "What do you mean, what you submitted is not for an experiment?"

"You didn't say you had to use it for an experiment!"

Yang Xiaotao took a deep breath, looked at the old man carefully, and then smiled bitterly, "Did you come up with this idea?"

The old man said nothing, and the two of them immediately focused on the converter.

As the workers operated and under the command of Xu Ning, the molten iron was poured into the converter.

The first small converter in this steel plant is functioning again.

"They are all good young men."

The old Taoist looked at the few people, and they all followed the steps step by step, but in an orderly manner.

"No, you don't know these people, but they are worth a lot of money."

"What do you mean?"

The old man 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 and did not publicize it. Therefore, the old man, 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 laughed.

"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 machinery 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 didn't need it in the future, Mr. Wang would 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 had stopped heating.

Then, under the operation of workers, the converter is dumped, the alloy mixed with various metals is 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 scalded red. The old man quickly pours the molten steel in the spoon into the mold to speed up the cooling.

"Almost, give it a try."

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

As he spoke, 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 taught 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 am used to this kind of failure.

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

The previous 60% confidence is now only 10%.

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

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

"If you don't even have the courage to withstand failure, don't do any research."

"Raise your heads, don't act like a woman."

Yang Xiaotao walked to Zhao Chuan who was sitting on the ground and kicked him on the butt. The latter stood up angrily, and the others also recovered their expressions.

"Since yours failed, try my formula."

Looking at the appearance of the crowd, Yang Xiaotao slowly spoke.

In an instant, the old Taoist opened his mouth wide and rubbed his ears, as if he didn't hear clearly.

Several people didn't understand what was going on, but Yang Xiaotao took out a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Ning.
