Mai Ruibao always thought that he had more knowledge about the chief's factory than the naturalized citizens of the same age. From his childhood, his family was exiled from Dongguan to the Xiangshan Aomeng Senate for shelter, and his brother-in-law was hired by the chief.
As the youngest child in the family, the young Ruibao often went to the Hong Kong shipyard to deliver meals to his brother-in-law. He was used to seeing the shipyard's hanging towers, slipways and various machinery. When he got older and came to Lingao to study, he was exposed to all the "Fangcaodi"
"Studying work" and "internship" are commonplace. Therefore, in the first impression of Mai Ruibao, who had just jumped off the Venus Zero, in addition to the terrifyingly large area, Danzhou's Special Chemical Industrial Park is similar to Lingao and Ma
The large, curling factories are all the same: zigzag-shaped factory buildings, horizontal and vertical pipes, high and low towers, small railway tracks and cinder-paved factory roads crisscrossing the factory area, and an indescribable sour smell wafts in the air - many Fangcaodi classmates
Everyone calls this "factory smell".
But the deeper you go into the factory, the more unique you will find: in addition to the security inspections by guards in all factories, security police are stationed in key departments of the factory to strictly check people entering and exiting; from time to time, there are mobile KMT troops armed with shotguns.
Patrol teams ride bicycles or take rail cars to patrol back and forth.
The most eye-catching thing is that there are more naturalized workers wearing red "safety officer" armbands than other factories and various safety warning signs can be seen everywhere. All of this reminds Mairuibao that this is a company that cares about safety.
A special company that attaches great importance to sex.
Before he came here, he probably knew that many of the products manufactured in the Special Chemical Park were used by the military, and most of them were flammable and explosive products.
Facing this dazzling factory, Mairuibao hesitated for a while, not knowing what to shoot. After thinking about it, he pointed the camera at two very eye-catching giant circular buildings, pulled the bellows and started focusing.
"Don't waste the film on the fire tower." Someone suddenly spoke in his ear, and the reporter from Jiaomai was surprised: At some point, a girl stood next to him. She was about the same age as him, she looked quite thin, but she was full of radiance.
There was a condescending air as a senior at Fangcaoyao faced the freshmen. The girl stretched out her thin wrist from the sleeves of her large overalls - there was an ugly scar on it. She pointed out to him a small house near the water tower: "Inside
There are fire hydrants and water hoses. There are a lot of them in this factory area. Are you here to check the fire protection work?"
Mai Ruibao had no choice but to take out his interview pass and said that he had followed the chief to interview. Unexpectedly, the girl was still reluctant: "How can a qualified reporter not understand the subject of his report?"
"I'm just starting out and don't know much about factories." Mai Ruibao could tell at a glance that the person in front of him was a "disciple" of a certain elder. Only they could have such a confident expression and condescending tone.
Mai Ruibao knew that most of these people had high self-esteem, and it would be easy to offend them if they didn't handle it properly. Fortunately, these people were selected to be around the elders since they were young. Most of them were not very scheming and were more popular. They immediately acted enthusiastically.
He looked like: "I just started working in the pictorial agency, and this is my first time in such a big factory." He looked around and sighed half-seriously, "This factory is amazing! The design and operation veterans are so awesome!"
The girl showed a "natural" look. Mai Ruibao quickly added fuel to the fire: "I think you look like a student of the veteran in the factory, right? Just in time, you come and teach me, here is the most worth taking pictures
What are the places? After all, I don’t understand.”
It was obvious that his humble and enthusiastic attitude of being a student was very helpful to the other party.
"Follow me, our teacher will tell you what is truly valuable, and what kind of photos are worthy of being in the pictorial."
The girl led him to a group of tall tower-like buildings. It turned out that the leaders who came with her were already there. It looked like it was really important equipment. The so-called teacher in the girl's mouth, Mai Ruibao's name was often seen in newspapers.
Chiefs of Qi, Chu and Qin have been surrounded by other heads of the inspection team, answering their questions.
The tower exuded a pungent stench all around. Mai Ruibao wanted to take out his mask, but Chairman Wang didn't care, and walked around them looking around. Mai Ruibao could only hold it in with all his strength.
Angry, I focused my camera on these strange-looking towers: long iron cylinders standing like trees, huge steel tanks, supported in mid-air by steel and cement frames. Countless iron pipes bent into strange shapes were tied like ropes.
, fixing and connecting this pile of metal structures, sometimes some medium-sized iron cans and steel ladles swell out from the middle of the iron pipes and are connected to each other, like vines hanging out fruits. This group of strangely shaped behemoths rumbles and puffs out smoke.
Fog seems to be a group of indescribable life forms. The belt conveyor continuously throws crushed anthracite into the opening under the tower, as if feeding monsters. Amid the noise and noise, Mairuibao, who was busy taking pictures, intermittently
I heard Chairman Wang talking with Chief Qi:
"...The fluctuations in the initial stage of the test were relatively large. At present, the output of liquid ammonia has stabilized, basically around 500 kilograms per day..."
"What about ammonium nitrate?"
"120kg per day."
"It's not much. That's only forty or fifty tons a year. Of course, we're still in the pilot trial period, so we can't count it."
"Now there are too many places where ammonia and nitric acid are used. Of course, if the Planning Institute agrees to place an order, even if it depends on the ammonia synthesis output during the pilot trial, it will be no problem to double or triple the ammonium nitrate. Besides, once the pilot trial is completed, this set
The device can enter continuous production. As long as nothing goes wrong, it is expected to reach the designed annual output of 1,200 tons of ammonia by the end of the year. Regardless of whether it is nitrogen fertilizer or firecrackers, Chairman, we will have a lot..."
"Is there any problem? Nothing in the world is a good thing."
"I can't hide anything from you, haha. Well, the most critical problem is that our materials industry is still a little stretched. There is a lack of catalysts and corrosion-resistant materials. Substitute materials can only solve the problem of whether they can be produced.
Once it reaches a large scale, it becomes unbearable. Also, the supply of cupota gum is spotty and it’s very difficult.”
Chairman Wang smiled and nodded without commenting. It seemed that he could not solve this problem. After staring for a long time, he suddenly lowered his voice and seemed to ask Chief Qi a question. Chief Qi had a solemn expression on his face and lowered his voice.
They said something. Judging from their expressions, it seemed to be something important.
Adhering to the "three no's principles", Mai Ruibao quickly turned his attention to other places and gestured with his fingers to see if there was any nearby place where he could take pictures. Then he took a few photos of large equipment and workers maintaining it. He originally wanted to use the workers'
He took a few photos of models, but the light today was not ideal and he couldn't take close-up shots of people. He only had 24 disposable flash torches in his bag, so he had to save some.
The product of the Tower Magic, a treasure that the chief said could be turned into nitrogen fertilizer and can also cause firecrackers, finally appeared in the packaging workshop under the granulation tower: white pellets of ammonium nitrate particles were spread flat on the canvas conveyor belt, and finally
It fell into a special large lead-covered jar. Every time a jar was filled, workers put wax paper on the mouth of the jar, tightened the lid, put it on a trolley, and transported it away. Chairman Wang ignored the pungent smell and was fascinated by the sight. Suddenly
Asked Sun Shangxiang: "Do you know what these are?"
Sun Shangxiang shook her little face that was previously flushed but now looked a little pale: "Please give me some advice from the Chairman." Mai Ruibao looked at the unwiped tears at the corners of her eyes with concern. He didn't know that this was because she had
If you are too close, you will be irritated by the volatilized ammonia gas.
"This is the foundation for the people of Australia and Song Dynasty to avoid hunger, and it is also the guarantee for the victory of the Fubo Army," Chairman Wang said thoughtfully: "Sometimes the latter is more important than the former. We must win first so that the people will not starve.
"
"Chairman, can you tell me in more detail?" Sun Shangxiang wrote furiously in the interview book while pleading in a feeble and delicate tone.
Chairman Wang laughed and stretched out his hand to point to the female student following Teacher Qi: "Go ask her and explain it to you in detail. By the way, Lao Qi, I haven't asked you the name of this student yet."
"Reporting to the Chairman, my name is Qi Krypton!"
As soon as the female student finished speaking, not only Chairman Wang, but also all the leaders of the inspection team laughed loudly. Sun Shangxiang and other naturalized cadres also laughed together, but Mai Ruibao turned away and pretended not to notice.
Qi Krylong didn't know why, his face turned red instantly, but he stubbornly straightened his slender neck. The inspection team boarded the freight flatbed truck pulled by the fireless locomotive running on the track system of the park.
The flatbed train went around several factories that were covered with scaffolding and were still under construction. Reporter Mai knew from the conversations between the leaders that this Danzhou Special Chemical Enterprise was the first electrification factory under the Senate. Sure enough, they left next.
Walking in and out of each workshop, they were all illuminated by electric lights, and the exhaust fans were humming. Everyone also wore goggles and activated carbon masks prepared by the factory, but Mairuibao still felt a pungent smell floating in the air.
Sour gas. The huge nitrifiers, reaction tanks and water tanks that you can see are either exposed cast iron or covered with enamel anti-corrosion layers. Some places are actually made of glass. The operators wear tight masks.
The oilcloth protective clothing was operating the mixer. When he thought about the strong acid that could corrode and dissolve human bones, he could feel the hair on his head counting down. It was like a synthetic ammonia-ammonium nitrate co-production device, with different thicknesses and twists and turns.
Metal, glass and gutta-percha pipes coiled around various tanks, and machines connected them together. Chairman Wang looked at the various equipment and finally stopped next to a crystallizer, pointing to the dried light yellow crystals in it.
: “How is the current production?”
"Report to the Chairman, the daily production of TNT is about 100 kilograms." It was Qi Krypton who replied.
