Chapter 42 The hard road of steel
After a sensational speech, Cheng Pan increased the morale in the territory. After the frenzy, the people in the territory began to question what this orthodox road was. Cheng Pan's explanation for this is: "Only by understanding the world, understanding the basic laws of the world, and after thoroughly mastering these basic laws, complex tools can be created to help people live in this world better. Don't be confused when encountering unknown phenomena. This is just that you don't know enough about the world."
After promising this big cake, Cheng Pan also put himself in. For this reason, Cheng Pan had to go to the dark side of the road to increasing productivity through the active industrial revolution and conquering the world. Historically, the West first developed capital, used money to drive people to use their lives to grab territory, and then used the plunder of conquered territory to develop the industrial revolution to improve productivity. This model of the West is to treat people as animals, and even scurvy has not been solved. It is just a sailboat that is tempted by gold coins. It is the battle with ropes.
After the beginning of spring this year, Cheng Pan was busy and forgot to take the local children's examination. Now the people who took the imperial examination in the territory are all outsiders. It turns out that the main force of the imperial examination in the local area was tragic in the land revolution. The workers, peasants and intellectuals trained by Cheng Pan were brought to the ditch and only knew how to write simplified characters. The habit of changing to traditional characters was purely a dream. In the environment full of simplified characters in the territory, scholars who had lived here for a long time would often write different characters in the eyes of the examiners after taking the imperial examination. Therefore, most locals took the third grade of junior high school, junior high school and high school established by Cheng Pan.
As for Cheng Pan himself, when he came to this era, he only learned to write some traditional Chinese characters. As for the imperial examination, forget it, anyway, the examiner is asking me to get high scores. Cheng Pan, who was once a dog under the pressure of the college entrance examination, has no love for the examination hall in his life. Cheng Pan missed the exam, but he got the fame of scholars. Some examiners were very angry at this blatant fraud in the imperial examination. But after hearing that it was the order from the superior, they shut up. After a period of inquiry, these officials calmed down. In order to drive the traitor away without bloodshed, giving him a fame through fraud was a stopgap. The provincial senior management was working hard to operate Cheng Pan's official position, but
Cheng Pan is a Mongolian nobleman, but a southerner. He always has a name for himself. He can't publicly say that he is a thief to be a stern. In this way, the face of the entire court in Henan and Jiangbei Province will be lost, and a group of political enemies will hold on to this little braid. So through the imperial examination steps, he will be given a juren step by step, and through the relationship network of some powerful ministers in the court, he will throw the position of the county magistrate to him. God sees pitiful, who do these officials have been asking for so much effort? Others ask for officials in large boxes and small boxes with yellow and white objects, and laugh with them. Cheng Pan has not expressed any of his farts until now, and a large group of people in the officialdom helped him walk around.
I won’t mention Cheng Pan’s tough experience as an official. Cheng Pan is indeed very busy now. He stays in a steel factory. Cheng Pan’s current steel craftsmanship level in the territory is at most, at most, to make farm tools and water trucks, gears and other parts that are not very demanding. As for things like steam engines, Cheng Pan is playing with them regardless of the cost. Just the cylinder of the steam engine, Cheng Pan can make the best steel now, and under the processing of skilled workers, nine out of ten are scrapped. Take the first-type cannons that Cheng Pan now builds for example. Five cannons must be stopped and cooled after the five cannons. Although modern cannons also have a lifespan, they have never heard of cooling after a few shots. Moreover, the walls of modern cannons are not thicker than those of old cannons. You can see the rapid improvement of steel craftsmanship during the Industrial Revolution.
In other words, although Cheng Pan now tinkered with explosives such as picrylic acid in the laboratory, there was no qualified steel-made weapon that could withstand its explosion. He used picrylic acid as a flowering bullet. If it was exploded in the barrel, the fragile iron barrel could not stop the outbreak of yellow explosives that were dozens of times more powerful than black gunpowder. Now picrylic acid can only be used to use black gunpowder to push the rocket warhead, and even to shoot the gun hole and explode the mountain and mine.
In the steel factory, Zeng Lao Blacksmith, who is already the director of the Ma'anshan Iron and Steel Factory, said to Cheng Pan in a hesitant tone: "Mr. Cheng, now I know. I have been hitting iron for a lifetime, but I find that I am less and less familiar with iron blocks. In the past, good iron was relied on, but now I know more and more. The more I know, I find that the literature and literature are great. When these irons are released, when to add what material, how high the furnace temperature is, when to quench, and when to temper, these conditions will lead to changes in the properties of iron. Cheng Pan heard these and seemed to feel that he had encountered the biggest technical barrier of this era. That's right, due to the lack of basic theory and science and materials science, the cornerstone industry of the industrial revolution, the steel industry, has almost reached its production limit. Cheng Pan once saw this before traveling through time. That's right, due to the lack of basic theory and science, the steel industry, the cornerstone industry of the industrial revolution, has almost reached its production limit.
Historians say that the Song Dynasty was economically developed and the agricultural production was massive. In 1078 AD, the annual output had reached 127 million kilograms. It had reached the coal and iron production in the late 18th century in the UK. However, Cheng Pan was proud of this information for a period of time, but Cheng Pan gradually became clear after traveling through time. Perhaps the Song Dynasty really reached the early stage of the industrial revolution in output, but in materials science, it was far from the level that the industrial revolution should have as long as the one that the industrial revolution should have. In that era, no specific standard data on the smelting process was left, and the production was completely controlled by the experience of old workers. With the passage of time and the destruction of war, these advanced production experiences were not recorded in real words. Even if there is no data in a small amount of records, they still have to be explored by future generations.
Without the accumulation of wisdom of generations of craftsmen, the technical level of steelmaking has always been in a low-level stage and cannot enter the industrial revolution in technology.
Cheng Pan thought about these and said to Director Zeng: "The differences caused by different processes must be recorded one by one. In order to produce better steel, I keep doing experiments. Record them with data and then implement them according to strict standards. All difficulties are solved by the administrative team. Now steel is the core of the industry. If necessary, other industrial production departments try to meet them. If one method does not work, try the second one, don't worry about failure." Director Zeng said: "Is the effort and cost too much? If you continue to try this, each process step will consume nearly a thousand tons of iron." Hearing that the process of thousands of tons of iron and the process step, he took a breath of air conditioning and made up his mind and said: "Try it for me, try everything. We are opening the way for future generations to pay even the greatest price."
With Cheng Pan's decision, the steel plant became busy. However, the cost of improving the steel technology is not only money, but also life. A serious accident occurred one month after the steel technology experiment in No. 1 Steel Factory was conducting steel technology experiments. During the process of exploring the process of stirring the steel, the iron bridge that was observed collapsed, and three people fell into the iron and had no bones. One of the three people had just completed junior high school graduation and was a shortage of talents in the territory. After receiving the news, Cheng Pan was silent for a long time and said: "These three people were treated according to the highest standards for soldiers' deaths. In the future, those who died in industrial accidents will follow this standard. Work injuries at work, according to different levels of workers and the size of the injuries, I will set a standard." At this time, Zeng Factory
The eldest son said, "Mr. Cheng, but this happened, the people in the iron factory were in a fluctuating heart and questioned the steel industry experiment you mentioned. They believed that it would be enough to produce iron according to the current safe production method. There was no need to take such a big risk to test the steel production method." Cheng Pan stared at Zeng's blacksmith and said seriously: "Lao Zeng, we are on the orthodox road. No road is formed naturally. They are all made by the pioneers. In ancient times, the human race took out fire from the near the Lightning Volcano, and many people learned to use fire. Now everything we do is to lure the descendants of the legacy. The three people who died this time will enjoy the incense of the human race under the care of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The treatment of the iron plant is already very high, and those who are afraid of death and don't want to do it will let them go."
With Cheng Pan's persuasion and the wish that those who die for industrial progress will be cared for by their ancestors and enjoy the permanent worship of the entire human race, the industrial experiment of the steel plant continued to begin. Cheng Pan also devoted all his spare time to participate in the process of the steel plant together. Since Cheng Pan led the way, the workers of the steel plant had no complaints about the dangerous steel industry experiment, some of the most dangerous dangers were Cheng Pan. Because Cheng Pan was a super strong person, Cheng Pan often discovered the danger first.
The number and severity of industrial accidents are inevitable, but the number and severity are greatly reduced. With Cheng Pan's timely tightening, the workers with Cheng Pan took safety measures before the accident. At most, some people were slightly injured. Steel workers engaged in dangerous processes all hope to work with Cheng Pan because they felt too safe. Cheng Pan often prioritized the discovery of safety hazards by patrolling the entire iron plant. Major accidents of dead people miraculously reduced to an incredible number in this backward steel plant.
Not only in terms of safe production, Cheng Pan found that his supersense played an important role in the exploration of the process. Because he could understand the changes in steel in a series of processing more clearly than the naked eye, the exploration speed of steel technology increased rapidly, and the time spent exploring a process and the iron material was shortened by one tenth. However, the industrial system is a very huge discipline, although Cheng Pan's superpower is cheating. The leap of the steel industry will take at least ten years.
