.2 Seeing a large amount of Shengui resources being wasted, the seedlings grow and eat without any appetite.

Soon, the workers in the work section discovered a strange phenomenon, because their work section chief suddenly became "normal". Because the work section chief who used to use converters as his home, now as soon as he gets off work, he will disappear soon.

"It's different from having a home or not. It's easier to keep the hot and scorched stove without guarding the new wife."

In the seemingly sarcastic words of the workers, they actually contain more affection for their work department heads, who are too tired.

But soon after, the workers discovered again. It turned out that their work department head did not go home to watch the new wife enjoy the comfortable warmth.

Miao Gensheng, who had already completed his night school studies at the staff, began to "swer" the night school again, but this time he was not "reliant" in the classroom, but he was entangled in the gentlemen who went to the night school.

After a look, Miao Gensheng began to appear in the dormitory of the faculty and staff at Bihai Oriental University, and he became a frequent visitor to the homes of the smelting and chemistry professors of Oriental University.

In the autumn of the same year, Miao Gensheng, who had done his homework, finally submitted a bold innovation plan to the factory department of the steel mill, proposing to completely transform "his converter"

However, although Miao Gensheng's suggestion attracted the attention of the supervisors of Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant, it was not implemented. After all, the supervisors had their considerations. As the first main steel mill of the Celestial Empire, when all walks of life in the Celestial Empire urgently needed the support of these steel generals, they could continuously and stably take out tens of thousands of tons of high-quality steel every year, which was their top priority.

The supervisor has the sense of responsibility of the supervisor, and the Miaogensheng also has a sense of ownership of Miaogensheng.

Soon, Miao Gensheng put another reasonable suggestion on the desk of Qiao Yu, the president of Oriental Industrial Corporation.

Qiao Yu personally led the scientific researchers of Oriental Industrial Research Institute and experts from Oriental University to conduct several detailed scientific analysis and demonstration of Miao Gensheng's suggestions. Finally, Miao Gensheng's suggestions were adopted.

In February 1866, the first vortex drum alkaline air side blowing converter designed and manufactured by Shanghai Oriental Industrial Corporation was born. After repeated practice and gradual improvement of the process, the results showed that the converter had completely achieved the ideal phosphorus removal effect.

In October of that year, Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant completed the construction of the first new workshop to use vortex-drum alkaline air-side blowing furnaces. At that time, the establishment of this workshop with only two six-ton ​​vortex-drum alkaline air-side blowing furnaces was of great significance, because it made the steelmaking method of vortex-drum alkaline air-side blowing furnaces not only formed a complete set of strict standards in terms of management, process technology, operation systems, etc., but also made sufficient preparations for the launch of a large number of domestic vortex-drum alkaline air-side blowing furnaces in the future.

The work section led by Miao Gensheng has formed a complete set of optimal sulfur removal processes of "alkaline, high temperature, strong wind, and fine materials". Not only has the desulfurization rate of iron melting furnaces increased to nearly 70%, but their own new converters increased by about half compared with other similar iron melting furnaces in terms of furnace age and melting rate.

Miao Gensheng's sweat was recognized and praised by Baosteel, Oriental Industry and the Celestial Government. While Miao Gensheng himself became a national model of labor in the steel industry, it also led the entire Celestial Industrial System to enter a greater period of prosperity in the fields of technological innovation and technological innovation.

In just a few years since then, for example, the steel industry used whole grains and sifting powder to raw materials, used quicklime instead of limestone as flux ironmaking, and the yarn working method of imitating the weaving industry. For example, in terms of heat treatment in the mechanical processing industry, in order to adapt to the processing needs of new steels such as alloy structural steel, gas-phase surface carburizing, and surface quenching methods, new technologies for heat treatment processes such as water cooling after "water annealing" tempering to improve the toughness of steel have appeared one after another like mushrooms after a rain.

What is also mentioned in the second part is that it is the encouragement of Baosteel's bold transformation of acid converter that the Kouzhou "Gang Iron Factory" has also begun to concentrate its efforts, not only renovating the "dirty" converter bought from the UK, but also undergoing major operations on the domestically produced open furnace that the steel mill has just been launched for a few years.

They not only expanded the bottom area of ​​the two ten-ton open furnaces through several renovations, but also increased the capacity of the furnace to 17 tons, but also carried out various reforms to the furnace body structure.

For example, they changed the fixed furnace roof to suspended, changed the material of the masonry furnace roof, established a furnace protection system and equipped a technician who specializes in furnace protection to extend the age of the furnace;

They also improved the furnace head, heat storage chamber and ascending channel in the furnace, and at the same time improved the sediment chamber, which not only made the smelting process of the open furnace smoother, but also avoided the past passive situation where the furnace was forced to shut down and discharge slag due to the slag fullness.

In addition, they also invented feeding machines to completely replace the artificial feeding of the past, built a coal iron furnace to supply molten iron to the open furnace, mixed ingredients with scrap steel cold material, and used hot loading instead of cold loading, greatly shortening the smelting time.

It is precisely because the vast number of industrialists in the Celestial Empire have such a great scientific attitude and indomitable fighting spirit that the industrial technology of the Celestial Empire has always led the world.

After ten years, Miao Gensheng will continue to advocate the world's unique oxygen top smelting and blowing method of converter in the world, as the director of an ordinary workshop at Baoshan Iron and Steel Plant, and continue his glory.

In 1867, the Baoshan Iron and Steel Factory alone actually reached more than 60,000 tons of steel. Their next goal is to achieve a historic breakthrough in annual output of 100,000 tons in the next year, that is, in 1868.

You should know that in the British Empire, which also completely adopted the converter smelting process, the national steel production in 1867 was less than 200,000 tons.

Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government is just working silently, it is never willing to boast about its achievements in the media, and will not use so-called statistical data mixed with water to encourage the fighting spirit of the already very strong citizens. Therefore, outsiders like James Bruce will find it more difficult to understand the true background of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government.

Although James Bruce was unaware of all the above, it was okay. After all, James Bruce had already fallen in love with "news clippings". He could not only persevere in tracking the footsteps of that one, the glorious name, but also had very associative and analytical power.

In fact, in life, you should also learn from James Bruce.

It’s like eating canned food. When you open a can of braised pork with iron packaging, ordinary people will only be intoxicated by the refreshing fragrance that immediately emerges from the tube. Apart from the big mouthful of chewing and swallowing, you probably won’t have any other ideas.

This won't work.

Look at the other person, Earl Erkin. Before enjoying this delicious food, he must first look at the origin.

When he saw that the canned food in his hand could be produced by Beijing, he felt quite disappointed.

After sucking, he wanted to find out whose tinned thin plate is made of this exquisite canned box?

Then, he would open the floodgates of memory and search hard. When the answer told him that something like this had never been imported by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, his heart would tremble violently.

Although he still had to eat this canned pot in the end, the braised pork that was originally full of fragrant hair naturally became less tasty.

When eating is tasteless, it is also a learning process.

Therefore, when James Bruce suddenly saw the first main battleship of the Pacific Fleet of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Red Navy in the newspaper, the "Kunlun Iron Craft".
