Chapter 369: Knowledge Upgrade and Amazing Gains
As for Li Kailang, after Lou Xiaoe left, he couldn't wait to move the books into the planting space.
Looking at this pile of books, Li Kailang had a hunch that perhaps after reading these books, his mechanical skills would be upgraded again.
Thinking of this, Li Kailang couldn't hide his excitement and immediately turned the book to start reading.
As he read deeper, Li Kailang could vaguely feel that the knowledge about mechanical technology in his mind was rapidly integrating and sublimating.
Those theoretical knowledge that were originally obscure and difficult to understand gradually became clear in his mind, as if there was an invisible bond that closely connected his thinking and this knowledge.
"It's almost there, it's almost there." Li Kailang muttered to himself. He could feel the knowledge that was about to break through the bottleneck surging in his mind.
Li Kailang was immersed in the ocean of knowledge, forgetting the passage of time and all the troubles in the outside world.
Even when leopard cats came over to play and fight, Li Kailang remained unmoved, like a sculpture.
Three days passed in the planting space.
"boom!"
When the last book was closed, Li Kailang's eyes sparkled with excitement.
During these three days, he read through all the books that Lou Xiao'e brought, and this alone benefited him a lot.
【Ding! 】
【Upgrade from Mechanical Technology (Entry Level) to Mechanical Technology (Advanced Level).】
[The host's mechanical skills have been detected (advanced), and rewards can be issued. Please check the host. 】
"Wait!" Li Kailang instantly prepared himself for the impact on his mind. Last time, he was not prepared and was caught off guard, almost making him fall asleep.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the complete drawings and technical experience of oxygen top and bottom combined blowing converter steelmaking. ]
In an instant, Li Kailang was caught off guard and his mind was suddenly hit by a shock.
Li Kailang immediately shut up and accepted the indoctrination of knowledge.
After a while, Li Kailang opened his eyes, his eyes full of excitement.
"I saw that this oxygen top and bottom blown converter steelmaking is so powerful. With it, won't it take off?" Li Kailang's eyes flashed with irrepressible excitement and shock.
The oxygen top and bottom blown converter steelmaking technology is a technology that has been used in later generations, which is enough to show how powerful it is.
If it were put into today's context, wouldn't that be a dimensionality reduction attack?
This technology was first developed by Germany in 1964. It is now 59 years later, 5 years earlier. I wonder if they are exploring it.
But even in the exploration stage, there is still some distance to go before successful development, experimentation and finished products.
Li Kailang already has a ready-made technology that can be used without much research or experimentation.
"This is good stuff, we have to record it quickly."
Li Kailang is still a beginner and does not have a clear and specific understanding of how powerful oxygen top and bottom blowing converter steelmaking is.
After all, what he is learning now is theoretical knowledge and lacks practice. He only knows that it is better than the current technology, but he does not have a specific number of how much better it is.
Li Kailang quickly wrote down the relevant content while it was still fresh in his memory.
The oxygen top and bottom blowing converter steelmaking method is a technology, and the key is to build a new type of steelmaking furnace.
The core of oxygen top and bottom combined blowing converter steelmaking technology lies in its revolutionary design. Its three major advantages are far beyond the reach of current steelmaking furnaces.
1. High temperature combustion.
High-temperature combustion technology causes the temperature inside the furnace to rise sharply, which not only accelerates the melting of molten iron and the formation of molten steel, but also greatly improves steelmaking efficiency.
Second, gas control.
This allows oxygen to react more fully with molten iron, reduces the generation of impurities, and improves the purity and strength of the steel.
3. Recycling of combustion waste gas.
There are many treasures in steelmaking waste gas, such as carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, etc., which can be used as industrial raw gas after extraction.
If a steel rolling mill can complete gas purification, it can be immediately transformed into a large-scale chemical plant.
The benefits are numerous and varied.
The new oxygen top and bottom blown converter not only increases the steelmaking speed, but also improves the purity, strength and other quality aspects of the steel.
In addition, there are many areas to explore.
Converter steelmaking can reduce fuel consumption. When molten iron enters the converter and oxygen is added, the molten iron will burn on its own, thereby reducing the carbon content in the molten iron and forming steel.
If the steel mill had new steelmaking furnaces and combined them with continuous rolling mills, the steel output and quality could definitely be increased by more than two times.
It is even possible that a task that takes a year can be completed in one month, and the only thing that affects efficiency is the iron ore raw materials.
If the Red Star Steel Mill had this oxygen top and bottom blown converter and technology, it could even surpass the First and Second Steel Mills and become the top steel mill production base in the city.
As for whether he could become the most powerful in the world, Li Kailang didn't dare to dream about it.
With the oxygen top and bottom blown converter, the steel rolling mill will be able to increase its annual output from hundreds of thousands of tons to millions or even tens of millions of tons.
This number will increase as the scale expands.
The emergence of large amounts of steel will not only greatly improve the efficiency of the factory, but will also benefit society and provide great help to national construction.
The cheap supply of steel will greatly promote the rapid development of multiple industries such as military industry, real estate, and automobiles, and drive the prosperity of the entire industrial chain.
When the steel mill appears in the newspapers, everyone will feel proud of it, after all, everyone is involved in this great project.
Maybe the department-level unit of the steel rolling mill can be raised, and then everyone's salary and benefits can also be raised.
Some leaders may even be promoted as a result.
All we can say is that when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.
Of course, these are all later matters. The most urgent task now is to record the drawings and technology of the oxygen top and bottom blown converter.
"Huh~" Li Kailang let out a long breath and looked at the dozens of pages of papers on the table with his writings written on them.
"It's finally done. With this thing, I won't be afraid of not having results in the future. I'll show it to you after I graduate."
Li Kailang didn't think about taking it out right away. After all, he had only learned it for less than a year, how could he possibly make such a thing.
He would definitely be suspected of having it stolen, or sent by an enemy spy. In any case, it would not be what he wanted to get.
Li Kailang planned to keep it for himself and take it out when he had finished his studies.
Just when Li Kailang was about to take a good look at what he had written, a sudden feeling of fatigue swept over him.
Compared to the upgrade just now, the large amount of technical indoctrination and the dozens of pages of writing were extremely draining on his physical strength and will.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter if I watch it later. Let's have some sleep first." Li Kailang walked to the bed, lay down and fell into a deep sleep.
During these three days, as soon as Li Kailang opened his eyes, he did nothing but eat, drink, defecate and urinate, and read books, just to upgrade his mechanical technology as soon as possible.
After waking up, Li Kailang felt refreshed and his energy and spirit were greatly restored.
"I had such a good sleep!" Li Kailang couldn't help but stretch himself and yawned.
"Nini!" Li Kailang picked up the leopard cat mother who was dozing beside him and kissed her affectionately.
The mother leopard cat is the cleanest one, while the other little leopard cats cannot change their sloppy nature even after becoming fathers-in-law.
They get dirty from playing every day, so the mother leopard cat gets so tired after licking them clean that she falls asleep on the ground. Later, she simply stops licking them.
These little leopard cats naturally couldn't stand being dirty, but they were too lazy to lick themselves. Now they had learned how to jump directly into the spiritual spring water, swim around, and get clean when they got ashore.
"I didn't expect that these little guys would discover other uses for the spiritual spring water. It's a bit surprising."
Seeing this, Li Kailang was also happy to let them play and discover more functions of the spiritual spring water.
After touching Ni Ni enough, Li Kailang looked at yesterday's results, "Okay, let's see if there's anything else to add?"
Li Kailang looked at the heavy stack of dozens of pages of paper densely covered with handwriting on the table, and couldn't help feeling a mixture of pride and a slight headache.
"How did I manage to write so much in one go yesterday? How long will it take me to finish this?"
Li Kailang couldn't remember how much willpower he had yesterday to write so much content in one breath. No wonder he felt dizzy yesterday. Anyone would have fainted after finishing writing.
Helpless, he had to read what he wrote, so Li Kailang had to pick it up and check it one by one.
These dozens of pages of paper detailed the design drawings, design ideas, technical key points and later guarantees of the oxygen top and bottom combined blowing converter.
It also comes with detailed data tables. From the results of simulation experiments to the expected production efficiency, every piece of data has been repeatedly verified to ensure accuracy.
It also marks out the problems and difficulties that may arise during the construction process, as well as their solutions.
This level of detail is sufficient to allow any engineer or technician to build a converter that meets the requirements directly based on this information without additional experiments.
"I didn't expect that I would be so good yesterday. This makes it convenient for me. I will just follow this step by step when I do it next time."
Li Kailang originally just wanted to record some knowledge points so he wouldn't forget them, but he didn't expect to record them in such detail.
Moreover, there is a lot of knowledge here that Li Kailang only has a vague understanding of, and he can use it from time to time to compare it with the knowledge he has learned.
As long as you can understand the content, it means that you have made progress.
"Isn't this just an alternative learning progress bar? These many pages of content are enough for me to learn." Li Kailang said excitedly.
The most frightening thing about learning is not understanding what you have learned, but with this thing, you can clearly see what you have learned.
"Speaking of learning, it seems that I have made great progress as well." Li Kailang closed his eyes and felt it. He could feel that the knowledge that he only had a vague understanding of before, he could now fully understand.
"I gained a lot from this improvement in mechanical technology. Not only did I get blueprints, but I also got a lot of knowledge. It's a huge improvement compared to the previous one."
"If this is upgraded next time, won't the improvement be even greater? I don't know when the next upgrade will be?"
Li Kailang is looking forward to the next upgrade.
While there was still time, Li Kailang once again opened the book that would allow him to level up.
Outside, the next day, it was time to go back to work on Monday.
"Ah~ I'm so sleepy." Someone on the road couldn't help but yawn.
"Just bear with it. The National Day is coming in two days. You will have three days off and you can sleep well. You have to be serious during these two days. Don't let anything go wrong. Otherwise, you will have to work overtime during the National Day holiday."
"That's true." After saying that, the man slapped himself twice to wake himself up.
Li Kailang arrived at the steel rolling mill feeling refreshed.
As soon as he arrived, Director Yang's secretary Wan Shen approached him and said, "Master Li, Director Yang wants to see you."
Li Kailang nodded. He was too lazy to ask Wan Shen now. If it were in the past, he would have asked in return why Director Yang was looking for him.
But Wan Shen didn't respond to the previous questions, so Li Kailang didn't bother to ask anymore. He even doubted whether Wan Shen was Director Yang's secretary.
Otherwise, how come you don’t know anything?
But Li Kailang didn't expect that his random guess would turn out to be correct.
Li Kailang went straight to the direction of Director Yang's office. Wan Shen suddenly said, "Master Li, you're going the wrong way."
"Wrong way?" Li Kailang looked at the direction. "Isn't this the way to Director Yang's office?"
Wan Shen explained helplessly: "Director Yang is not in the office, he is in the workshop."
"Workshop? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"You didn't ask, so I thought you knew." Wan Shen said unhappily.
Hearing this, Li Kailang rolled his eyes at him. Didn’t Director Yang give a private reminder in the workshop?
In the past, he knew nothing about anything, so Li Kailang got used to it. Director Yang was in the office.
"Which workshop?" Li Kailang asked.
"Just follow me." Wan Shen said.
That's why it's no wonder that Li Kailang doesn't have a good impression of Wan Shen. He won't tell you when asked, and he won't tell you when not asked. It's useless to ask.
Li Kailang followed Wan Shen to the steel rolling workshop.
Director Yang was seen with his hands behind his back, looking at the rumbling converter in front of him.
"Director Yang, Master Li is here."
"Come on, Xiao Li, come and see our factory's converter."
Li Kailang carefully looked at the converter in front of him. Although he was puzzled, he answered politely:
"So far, it's running very steadily. It's really a good machine."
"Not bad? It is indeed not bad, but it would be better. This machine can't keep up with the production of our factory." Director Yang said regretfully.
"It would be great if an engineer could come to the factory and improve the converter. It would be even better if he could invent a better converter."
As he said this, Director Yang's gaze fell on Li Kailang intentionally or unintentionally.
Li Kailang naturally understood what Director Yang meant, but why should he say this to him?
Could it be that Director Yang also has a system and knows the manufacturing method of his oxygen top and bottom blown converter? He wants him to hand it over?
Director Yang definitely doesn't have a system, he is just giving Li Kailang some advice.
"Master Li, do you know how many tons of molten iron this converter can produce every day? Do you know how many tons of steel that rolling mill can roll every day?"
Every time Director Yang pointed to a machine, he asked Li Kailang a question, which left Li Kailang speechless. He was a driver now, so how could he know?
Aren't these things private? How could he, an ordinary worker, know them?
Director Yang knew that Li Kailang didn't know, so he explained to him one by one: "This converter can produce
Director Yang did this today purely to prepare for Li Kailang's coming to the workshop. He has now completely placed his bet on Li Kailang.
Li Kailang naturally accepted these key data with pleasure, although his attitude was lukewarm before the oxygen top and bottom blowing converter was installed.
Now he is eager to know these key data. Only with these comparisons can Li Kailang understand the power of the oxygen top and bottom blowing converter.
He had previously planned to demonstrate his talent and ability in mechanics in order to obtain these key data, but he did not expect that Director Yang would tell him everything.
This is a windfall, it came without any effort.
Li Kailang listened to Director Yang and wrote down everything in his mind. "I didn't expect it to be so easy to get, but this alone is not enough."
"We also need to understand the privacy of the workshop. This is all for future guarantees. It seems that we need to plan it carefully."
Director Yang took Li Kailang to see the machines. When they came to a machine, they found a worker not far away being surrounded by a group of workers.
"Yigong!" Director Yang shouted.
"Director Yang." Yi Zhonghai turned around and saw Director Yang and Li Kailang.
"Master Li, this is Engineer Yi."
"Engineer Yi, this is a college student from our factory. He will be an engineer in our factory in the future."
"You two should get to know each other."
"No need, Director Yang. Engineer Yi and I are very familiar with each other. We are from the same yard."
"Really? I didn't expect you two were in the same courtyard, but this is just right. You two can communicate well in the same courtyard. If you have any questions in the future, you can ask each other."
"One is an eighth-level worker, and the other is an engineer. I think you two will have a lot to talk about."
Director Yang had no idea about the grudge between the two men, and was doing his best to get them to help each other.
"Probably." They said in unison.
Director Yang said a few words and then left for a meeting.
Seeing Director Yang leave, Li Kailang and Yi Zhonghai looked at each other and left.
Communicating with each other is a joke. The two of them are almost fighting. What is there to communicate about?
"Engineer? Oh, what's the point of a young boy becoming an engineer? If the machine breaks down, don't rely on me to make any parts. Without me, you will be in trouble."
Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Kailang with disdain. Even though everyone looked at Li Kailang as if he were a star, in his eyes, he was just like that.
"This Yi Zhonghai has bad intentions. He is a level 8 worker. If I work in a workshop in the future, I will have to deal with him and it will be difficult for me to command him."
"Is this difficult?" Li Kailang touched his head helplessly. In order not to live under someone else's roof, it seemed he had to find another way.
"It seems that I should learn the locksmith skills to avoid being controlled by others."
