253 Steel mills and ores
Current location:
Different from the first workshop where apprentices are everywhere, the second workshop has the emergence of cross-country workers. Where "precision instruments" are produced, there must be industrialists who understand computers to control the situation. Correspondingly, almost all "precision instruments" All mid-level technicians work in this factory.
The technical level classification of workers in Yuanzhong is not as complicated as that of later generations. It is a simple three-level classification: elementary, intermediate, and advanced. Each level of these three levels is only divided into two levels. In other words, the sixth level of workers is the end.
Even so, no one can be upgraded to a senior worker at the moment. The factory's requirements for senior workers are actually very simple: they can do simple programming, and then set the various parameters of the cutter head feed on the control screen according to the drawing requirements. That’s it.
But this is the natural chasm.
What even a technical secondary school student in later generations can do easily is no more than a book from heaven in the eyes of these illiterate craftsmen.
At present, the most senior level four workers in the workshop can only use two-finger meditation to enter a set fixed program on the keyboard - just like they did in the Ming Dynasty, they first memorized a set of data, and then Then make the product.
Knowledge determines a person's upper limit. These craftsmen who lack basic theoretical knowledge will reveal their true colors once they encounter Zentraedi technology.
Of course, we can’t blame them, the Ming Dynasty was such an environment. Besides, the young people of later generations have been playing with mobile phones since they were young, going to Internet cafes after class to have fun, and eating chicken every day; modifying some things on the keyboard according to the drawing needs Simple data is not difficult for them.
However, these craftsmen cannot. First of all, this generation has never attended junior high school, so most of them cannot understand drawings that require simple geometric knowledge. Secondly, they have not played League of Legends, so they face an industrial control system the size of an iPad. When the screen was turned on, these guys were immediately paralyzed and couldn't understand.
So the current situation is: once there is a new workpiece, all the parameters must be set by the on-duty workers first, and then handed over to these workers for execution.
As for senior craftsmen who can handle all the procedures by themselves, there are currently none. The so-called intermediate craftsmen must spend several years to master the basic knowledge.
...
The third workshop is the exclusive core workshop of Chuangchuang. Several sets of Gitmax CNC machining centers imported from later generations are the most valuable assets of the industrialists. This 5-axis CNC machining center can handle complex curved surfaces and can theoretically process propellers. And BMW car engines are real industrial mother machines.
Of course, the propellers of a certain ** wire force are now made of pig iron, and they cannot build BMW cars, so they can only use machining centers to produce some low-level lathe accessories, which is overkill.
It may seem like a bright and lively production activity, but underneath it is still empty. Take the most important steel as an example. At present, except for crude steel with qualified quality, the steel mills in the kiln area cannot roll out the special steel needed for the car body. Even with thin plates, the steel required for high-end engines cannot be made.
Therefore, high-end products such as BMW cars will always be just legends; the clumsy, inefficient old-fashioned gas engines are the current goals of the Industrial Party.
Industries are interconnected.
The simplest place is also the most difficult place. Starting from a steel ingot and a screw, if any link is not in place, the system will eventually magnify the problem and manifest it.
The kiln area is in such a situation now. In addition to its relatively strong machining capabilities, other links including raw materials can only be described as weak. In fact, even in the field of machining, Mingren is still playing without Chuanzhong.
What doesn't turn around is a lame field.
...
After inspecting the machinery factory, Yao Zhesheng and Zou Guoqing, who were not very satisfied with the current situation, took a special electric three-wheeler and went for a tour of the steel factory next door.
With the development of the steel plant today, it is no longer the shabby situation of having only two small electric furnaces. In addition to the subsequent import of two 5-ton electric furnaces in the later period, the steel plant has also relied on its own efforts to build iron furnaces, reverberatory furnaces, etc. through DIY methods.
Batch of metallurgical equipment.
...
With the Haidong chain of merchants stationed at major docks along the coast of Fujian, the majority of Mining owners from Fujian suddenly discovered that life was becoming more prosperous.
In the beginning, whether it was raw iron or ore, as long as it was transported to the dock, it would be purchased by the trading houses. These new businessmen were wealthy and powerful, and backed by the increasingly famous guerrilla generals, they had slowly conquered Fujian six months ago.
The price of iron has increased.
What excites the masses of locals is that Haidong Chain Trading Company not only opened up its purchase of iron materials, but also spent a lot of money to set up joint ventures with others. In places like Youxi County and Jian'an County, where traditional iron smelting is located, Haidong Trading Company
They all sent special personnel to negotiate business.
The conditions for setting up a mine are extremely favorable: all mountain owners, mine owners, rich locals, squires, local gangsters and other local gangsters near mines in various places can come to Haidong Trading Company to discuss cooperation with their bare hands.
Powerful local gangsters can get large sums of money for investment from trading houses. These people often work together under the organization of trading houses to recruit large numbers of miners, expand existing mines and furnaces, and increase iron production.
The benefits provided by Haidong Trading Company are far more than these: mining tools and transport trolleys made of fine steel, tracks, experts with "secret maps" to explore ore belts, rechargeable thermometers, and people who can build new iron-making furnaces.
"Master Craftsman"... Cooperators can obtain these soft conditions to improve ironmaking efficiency from Haidong Trading Company.
What the local snakes have to do is to keep transporting iron materials and excess ore to the dock, and then exchange them for high-quality private salt, grain and tools from the merchant's warehouse. As for the money...
This is the last option. Private salt and grain are always more useful than silver in the mountains.
As time goes by, the entire metallurgical industry in Fujian is undergoing profound changes under the control of the invisible hands of time-traveling forces.
The most important change is the rapid growth of pig iron production.
Capital is profit-seeking. When the shareholders of the iron yard find that the purchase price of pig iron from Haidong Commercial Bank has increased significantly, they will naturally ask the furnace to smelt more pig iron and produce less wrought iron.
There were many traditional steelmaking methods in ancient times, including block-making, carburizing and forging (steel-making), steel-filling method, Suzhou steel method, fried steel method, low-temperature crucible method (Damascus steel), etc.
These methods remain the same, and they are essentially low-temperature iron-making. The so-called "steel" mentioned above are all iron products with substandard impurity content. You must know that the melting point of pure iron is 1538 degrees. In 1740, Henry
Before the advent of Zman crucible steel, humans had no way to melt iron into liquid, let alone control the phosphorus and sulfur content.
And the steel mills far away in the kiln area naturally do not need the so-called wrought iron that the furnace workers in the Middle Ages worked hard to refine. This is because in the eyes of the Industrial Party, any product produced by the Ming Dynasty is a waste product with substandard quality control.
So based on this principle, the pig iron that consumes less time, consumes less material, and saves processes suddenly became popular: Chuanzhong deliberately raised the purchase price of pig iron.
Naturally, the owner of Mingren Mine would not refuse this change: the earth furnace that could originally produce 800 kilograms of wrought iron a day can now produce more than 2,000 kilograms of pig iron. Why not?
However, this was not the end. The mine owners soon felt the stronger appetite of the industrial society. It didn’t take long for the “master craftsmen” sent to various places to guide production to put forward more “loose” requirements for Akito’s products.
Request: We want inferior pig iron.
This kind of so-called "pig iron" that has only been smelted hastily to save time, manpower and fuel to the maximum extent is actually no different from the floor steel of later generations. They are all garbage that can be broken if thrown on the ground.
However, this kind of garbage was completely purchased by Haidong Trading Company at the promised price.
From then on, things got out of control. After hearing the news, the mine owners of Mingren began to switch to production of this kind of iron material that was not like iron material and the ore was not like ore; while the steel mills in Yao District were delighted and began to take over large quantities of this "high-end" product.
Taste the Ore”.
Yes, in the eyes of the Industrial Party, these iron materials are equivalent to high-grade ore. In essence, they are the high-grade ore jigged by the Ming Dynasty; except that the jigging tools are not machines, but flames and earthen furnaces.
...Now that the integrated iron and steel industry in Fujian has become more and more in line with the appetite of the transnational forces, just like the early colonies, the left hand exported people and raw materials, and the right hand received industrial products.
In the process of tireless siege by the commercial system, the number of sailings from the other side of the sea to Danyuan is increasing day by day. Now every 15 days or so, there will be a cross-sea fleet departing from ports such as Fuzhou, Quanzhou, and Zhangzhou.
.
There were not only iron ships and coal ships in the fleet, but also passenger ships full of people and merchant ships carrying sugar, indigo, and porcelain. These open ships sailed all night long for a day or two under the guidance of pilot ships that emitted white beams of light.
With just a little effort, you can cross the strait and reach Da Yuan.
With the increase in throughput of "high-grade ore" and the successful operation of the Taipei Iron Sand Mine, the Yao District Steel Plant finally dared to set the target of steel production in 1628 at the unit of "thousand tons."
Of course, the "steel output" here refers to the total amount of all metallurgical products including refined iron... In fact, the current steel output in the kiln area is not high. For a person in the 17th century
In terms of power, in fact, various cast irons are the metallurgical products that society needs most, not steel.
Among the daily products of the Kiln District Steel Plant, the largest shipment volume is coiled steel bars, followed by some crude steel ingots used for machining. In fact, these two products have always maintained only the total product volume of the steel plant.
Less than 30% of the share, the rest are various cast iron products.
This quantity distribution plan is very reasonable. You must know that in this plane, wood gas engines produced with cast iron plates and ductile iron are already Zenith star technology. And the time-traveling forces do not need higher technology to defeat them.
Enemies armed with bows, arrows and matchlocks - with the resources to develop five pairs of wheels, the wooden gas truck Erba Dagai had already wiped out all the enemies.
Therefore, various cast iron products are the mainstream of steel plants today.
