Chapter 202 Shocking Efficiency of Top and Bottom Blown Converters
I saw a worker holding a long iron spoon and reaching it into the furnace mouth.
The spoon spun in the molten steel and quickly retracted.
Then, another worker held up a thermometer and pointed it at the iron spoon and started to point it wildly.
"1600,1650,1700, , !" As the thermometer reported the numbers, the hearts of everyone present were in their throats.
This temperature is close to the melting point of steel!
This is too scary, isn't it?
The leaders looked at each other, their shock evident in their words.
The workers were even more dumbfounded, staring at the hole spewing fire as if they had seen a ghost, unable to take their eyes away.
Li Yang, however, seemed confident.
He glanced at the temperature measurement results, then looked at the time, and said calmly:
"Okay, the temperature is just right. According to the plan, we will blow for another five minutes, and our top and bottom blown converter steel will be ready to be taken out of the furnace!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
What? Five minutes? Out of the oven?
Everyone looked at me, I looked at you, and confirmed again and again that we had heard correctly.
You know, this is an open-hearth furnace, and it takes at least half a day to produce a batch of steel.
But now, Li Yang said that steel can be produced in five minutes? What kind of magic is this?
However, five minutes later, when Li Yang gave the order to produce steel again, when the furnace door opened and a stream of golden molten steel gushed out, all doubts disappeared.
The steel outlet was like a waterfall, pouring down silver light.
The molten steel splashed in the night and burned in the air, dazzling and radiant.
In an instant, the entire room was illuminated by day, illuminating the faces of everyone present.
At this moment, everyone held their breath.
The cascading molten steel is not just a waterfall of steel, but also the beginning of a new era.
An era of top-down and bottom-up blowing, an era of flower planting and steel soaring!
“It’s done! We did it!”
When the last drop of molten steel ran out and the gurgling steel finally turned into a shining ingot, cheers broke out. People hugged each other, crying and laughing, tears and sweat intertwined, excitement and joy were beyond words.
They did it!
On this ordinary night, beside this ordinary converter, they created a steel miracle with their own hands!
A myth of top-bottom re-blowing!
"Li Yang, you are such a genius!" Secretary Zhang held Li Yang's hand tremblingly, unable to suppress the excitement in his heart any longer.
"It only took 30 minutes to turn molten iron into molten steel! This efficiency and quality are truly revolutionary!"
"It's more than a revolution, it's a complete transformation!" The factory director beside him was so excited that he was incoherent. "This molten steel looks cleaner than before. This quality can definitely beat all competitors!"
Everyone talked about it and praised it highly.
The white steel ingot now looked like a shining gem, dazzling and glittering.
Everyone wanted to rush up and touch this hard-earned crystal.
But Li Yang just smiled modestly.
In his eyes, this is just the beginning.
Where are we going now?
You know, today's furnace is just a modification based on a small flat furnace.
If it is a completely new design, directly put into a large furnace, equipped with sophisticated equipment, the output and quality can be multiplied several times.
Thinking of this, Li Yang's eyes became bright again.
The potential of top-bottom re-blowing has not yet been fully tapped.
This technology has great potential!
"Comrades, let us cheer for today's victory!"
Li Yang raised the teacup in his hand and spoke loudly.
"Cheers to our top and bottom blown converter! Cheers to the steel industry in the new era!"
"cheers!"
The roar of the mountains and the sea echoed over the workshop. Everyone drank this solemn cup.
The surging power was seeping into their blood through the hot tea.
Amid the deafening cheers, Li Yang did not indulge in the joy of victory for too long.
He knew that the success of a test run could only prove that the top-bottom combined blowing technology was feasible.
However, in order for this technology to truly take root and serve production, it still needs to undergo more tests.
So, Li Yang gave an order and ignited the furnace again.
"Add more ingredients! Blow more air!"
He calmly issued instructions one by one and led everyone to start a new round of testing.
One furnace, two furnaces, three furnaces...
The scene of steel production was repeated again and again in front of everyone.
Each time, there were sparks flying and flames shooting into the sky.
Every time, it makes people's blood boil and their hearts beat fast.
Gradually, as the experiments were repeated, everyone became more and more skilled.
Slag removal, temperature measurement and sampling are all done in one go with perfect coordination.
Just like a precision machine, every gear fits perfectly and runs smoothly.
Unknowingly, during the repeated tests, the factory's reserve ore had been exhausted.
When the last batch of molten steel poured out, the entire workshop fell into a brief silence.
People's enthusiasm seemed to cool down as the fire went out.
Instead, there was a deeper shock:
Oh my god, we've finished it!
In just one night, several months' production was consumed!
This efficiency and production capacity are simply terrifying!
People looked at each other, their sweaty faces filled with disbelief.
Even Secretary Zhang and Director Yang felt a little dizzy.
"This, this is too fast, isn't it?" Director Yang muttered to himself, looking at Li Yang with an almost worshipful look, "Normally, we can't produce this much molten steel in a month!"
"That's right!" Secretary Zhang nodded repeatedly, but he felt that his mind was a little confused. "At this efficiency, our monthly output may be enough to last for a year!"
Listening to the two leaders' exclamations, Li Yang smiled confidently.
Yes, this is the charm of top-bottom re-blowing!
It can not only greatly improve steelmaking efficiency, but also achieve a leap in quality.
I believe that with its support, the development of our factory will be even more powerful and soar into the sky!
Thinking of this, Li Yang's eyes involuntarily looked into the distance with a firm expression.
He believed that the success of this experiment would not only benefit their steel plant.
Its significance will affect the entire steel industry!
China is in a critical period of industrialization, and the demand for steel is growing exponentially.
How to quickly increase production while ensuring quality is the difficult problem facing every steel worker.
Today, the emergence of top-bottom combined blowing technology has undoubtedly provided an exciting answer to this question!
It will completely revolutionize the traditional steelmaking model and create a new era of high efficiency!
I believe that in the near future, with the joint efforts of the people across the country, the steel industry in Zhonghua will usher in a soaring tomorrow!
