From Baiyun Ebo to Baotou, this cement road is not only wide and thick. Although it has not met the standards of expressways in later generations, it is also quite good. The cement pavement of more than 35 cm, the thick roadbed of more than twice the thickness, and the high-grade cement that surpasses this era, has made this most important road in Baiyun Ebo, even now, the carrying capacity has been extremely severely tested. The iron ore from Baiyun Ebo can be transported by rails and small cars, but coal coming from coal mines not far away needs to pass through this road.

The transportation capacity of four-wheeled carriages is somewhat disproportionate to the strong demand of steel plants. The closer it is to the factory area, the more cars transporting coal, and there are even a kind of carriages that are pulled by more than 10 batches of horses, similar to those of train cars.

"Mr. Zhan, did you see it? Baotou needs a railway!" Yang Yuanzhao looked at the slow-moving horse-drawn carriage train helplessly. The road only solved part of the problem, but the next thing to solve is transportation volume. Railways have natural advantages over highways. Unless Yang Yuanzhao takes out the high-power diesel engine that he has been doing research and has not even taken out even the all-in-one machine. Although it has not reached the level of later generations, it can also be equivalent to agricultural vehicles in the 21st century.

As an engine engineer, overloading is not advocated, but in this era, it is inevitable to increase capacity overloading. The stable and simple structure of agricultural vehicles in later generations can reach a capacity of more than 10 tons. The excavation of this highway is absolutely amazing.

Zhan Tianyou nodded but didn't say anything, but his eyes were always staring at the factory in the distance, and the cars gradually approached. Everything about Baiyun Obo Steel Plant was presented in front of Zhan Tianyou, a huge construction site under construction, which seemed to be a miracle. It was shown in front of everyone, and there were dense crowds and machinery everywhere. The most powerful manufacturing capacity that manpower could achieve in the mainland was undoubtedly displayed here. A huge mine under development appeared in the eyes of this genius railway expert. This is the real iron ore. A real heavy industry.

Before, Yang Yuanzhao's casual statement made him understand that this was a huge steel factory, Hanyang Iron Factory. It took 20 years to make no breakthrough. It was so easy to break through by the border town of Baotou. It felt like an illusion and a fantasy, but the facts were in front of him. If those chimneys without smoke could be said to be a decoration, then black smoke was emitting, and there were dense factories and workers' factories around it. That would be impossible to deceive people. Zhan Tianyou was prepared for a long time. Seeing such a majestic scene, he couldn't help but be amazed. He asked hesitantly: "I don't know how much you have invested by President Yang!"

30 million! A simple number. It was spit out in Yang Yuanzhao's mouth, and it seemed inconspicuous at all. But this number suddenly suppressed Zhan Tianyou. You know, the emergence of the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway was a twist and turns. With the help of the substantial profits of the railway leading to the Northeast, the Qing government decided to promote the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway, and there were continuous twists and turns. Many times, he was not a railway engineer, but became a collector who raised railway funds, and was raising long-term

After the skin and pull, these funds were difficult to get in place, but in the end, they did not exceed 7 million. They were still a little bit by bit based on four years. Otherwise, the Beijing-Zhangjiakou Railway would definitely be completed ahead of schedule and even reduce investment. Sometimes, the losses caused by one day of delay on the huge construction site are amazing. The investment of this huge steel mill is four times that of all its investment. From this point of view, the northwest is extraordinary in terms of strength and courage.

But the next moment, Yang Yuanzhao's unit made all his words unable to say. The US dollar, the original unit of 30 million was not the silver dollar that Zhan Tianyou made, but the US dollar. The comparison between the silver dollar and the US dollar, maintaining a 1-2 trend for a long time, and the US dollar is even a little more valuable than the silver dollar. The 30 million silver dollar has made Zhan Tianyou a little unable to breathe, and the US dollar is like a mountain, weighing heavily on Zhan Tianyou's heart. The whole China, who can give out millions of yuan at one time, is already a super big businessman. Not only is it famous in its respective fields, but it has this great influence in many aspects, such as channels and markets, and even among the official powers and nobles. However, in the northwest border, in a corner that no one noticed, this young man who looked a little thin suddenly invested in such a huge industry. Why is this for? Why has he never heard of the Northwest?

It is precisely this bold and huge investment that can turn this wasteland in the northwest border into a hot land for investment. Yang Yuanzhao looked at Zhan Tianyou, who was almost in the stars, swallowed some words back. Not to mention investment, the latest technology can't be bought with money. If you buy all from foreign foreign companies, not only will you buy back old equipment, but even the quality cannot be guaranteed. Hanyang Iron Factory is an obvious example. When designing, Hanyang Iron Factory did not produce 80,000 tons of iron and 40,000 tons of steel annually. Zhang Zhidong was ambitious and wanted to build a first-class steel factory in Asia, and even everything was required to be good. Unfortunately, he was full of passion and funds, but he did not have international relations and vision. He did not all get second-hand equipment, but it was not suitable, and it also criticized the quality of the steel of Hanyang Iron Factory.

Yang Yuanzhao has devoted too much effort to the Baiyun Obo Steel Plant. If it weren't for the all-in-one machine or the oxygen blowing breakthrough, this steelmaking plant, even if all 16 blast furnaces were successful, its daily output would not exceed 8,000 tons, and its annual output would have exceeded 20 million tons. It is precisely because with the help of the all-in-one machine and with the basic support of Williams Laboratory, a large number of updated and more powerful technologies were applied to the steelmaking production. The ultimate production capacity of this steelmaking blast furnace reached an astonishing 10 million tons. Even the steel plants that are counted in the world are about four times the previous technology.

This is the advantage of technological leadership. Of course, if Yang Yuanzhao can continue to make breakthroughs and replace the open furnace with a converter, not only will the quality of steelmaking be greatly improved, but the speed will also be turned over again. It will only take more than 40 minutes from entering to exiting a furnace of steel, and the efficiency will be higher in one day at a full load. Unfortunately, it is a technology that surpasses this era. Even many developed countries can master it smoothly after decades. Perhaps aiming in this direction and constantly working hard will result in decades, but it is unlikely before.

The car slowly drove into Baotou Steel Plant. Zhang Zhaozhong, who had already received notification from Yang Yuanzhao, waited at the entrance of the factory. After a brief introduction, especially after introducing him to Zhang Zhaozhong and letting him know Zhan Tianyou, Zhang Zhaozhong's gaze of Zhan Tianyou changed greatly. From his original calm eyes, he suddenly became eager. In Zhang Zhaozhong's eyes, Zhan Tianyou was no longer a railway engineer, but a golden man emitting golden light.

It has been more than two months since the strong production capacity of steel plants, the production capacity of steel plants is extremely amazing. Half of the production capacity every day will produce a large number of steel rails. These rails will only work after they become railways. Now, people who solve this problem have finally appeared.

It is false to hear it, but it is true to see it. Yang Yuanzhao led Zhan Tianyou into the rail workshop of the steel mill. To be precise, it is the largest among the five rail workshops at present.

A steel mill is actually not just a steelmaking workshop. Although the steelmaking workshop is the largest, many supporting ironmaking workshops, crushing workshops, and coke workshops combine to provide the raw materials needed for steelmaking. Nowadays, open furnace steelmaking can use a lot of materials as raw materials, and even scrap steel can be used. However, in order to control the quality, Yang Yuanzhao does not just make a large amount of low-level steel. Most of the popular steels in the whole world are low-level and are the best steels to be refined. However, with this machine and his forward-looking vision, he cannot make this world. On the higher-end rigid steel, I am sorry for his time travel.

Basically, they are carefully selected ore, and then there are special processes. Not only are they fast, but they also produce very few impurities such as sulfur. In addition to the addition of some trace elements, their strength is far greater than that of ordinary people. Therefore, a series of steel branches, rebars, steel plates, steel bars, plates, ordinary steel, and the most important track steel are formed.

Because of Yang Yuanzhao's importance, among the investments of all steel mills, the output of rail steel accounts for almost half of the entire steel. The annual output is almost more than 500,000 tons. With such a huge number, how many railways are needed.

This largest rail workshop, of course, relies on the first blast furnace, the first steelmaking blast furnace of Baiyun Obo Steel Plant, is of course the most important thing and the highest technical level. With continuous strengthening, especially after running-in training, the personnel reached 2 shifts more than a month ago, and now it has reached 3 shifts, which means that the daily shifts can be barely operated. The daily shifts have increased from 2 to 3, and both day shifts have reached 8 hours, while the evening shifts are 4 hours, and they will be rotated every other week. In this way, the amount of steel produced every day has reached an astonishing 10 furnaces, which is 1,500 tons.
