The third phase of the steel system is very large in scale. Compared with the emergency melting furnaces, small converters, and simple steel rolling equipment in the first and second phases, the third phase of the project is building an unprecedented steel complex in this time and space. It includes everything from
All links in mineral processing, iron-making, steel-making, and rolling steel production. Not only will it greatly increase steel production, but it will also be able to produce steel plates, strips, wire rods, and various types of steel that were common in the old time and space.
With a stable supply of steel, the production of special steel and alloy steel can be put on the agenda. With an adequate supply of steel, the bottlenecks that restrict industrial scale in cement, transportation, construction, chemicals, machinery, etc. can be broken.
It is possible to implement the industrialization process in Lingao and even the whole of Hainan.
The sea breeze blew Ji Wusheng's hair into a mess. His wicker safety helmet was thrown on the table. Several major "generals" from the construction company stood with him and pointed at the construction site. There was a folding table beside them.
There are many drawings and kraft drawing tubes containing the drawings piled up, held down with battens. A group of busy naturalized civil servants, apprentices and interns are busy around the table and survey equipment, whispering to each other and discussing something from time to time.
Several soldiers carrying Mini rifles were on guard not far from the elders. The young soldiers looked at the elders and the nearby steel plant site with a mixture of surprise and admiration.
"The environment of Red Card Port is very complex. It requires a lot of homework to be used as a port." The person who was giving instructions was Mond. He was pale, wearing a civilian version of the M65 windbreaker, and a lieutenant commander of the Fubo Army on his shoulders.
The epaulettes look bloated than others. Mond has been recuperating since he was gloriously injured while rescuing a five-masted ship. He did not even participate in the military training when the veterans were mobilized for the second counter-encirclement and suppression campaign. He only officially made his comeback not long ago. Consider it.
Seeing his physical condition, Chen Haiyang suggested that the general office arrange a job for him that did not require him to go to sea frequently. So Mond became the navigation instructor of the Naval Petty Officer Class in Fangcaodi and the port director of Bopu, replacing Li Di's original position.
——The latter has been transferred to the Naval Command Department as chief of staff.
In addition to instructing naturalized sailors to operate motorized vessels, Mond also used his knowledge in port management and construction.
"...Hongpai Island is a basalt sea erosion platform. The water depth conditions in its front area are relatively good, mostly with a depth of 5 meters. However, Hongpai Port is silted up by drifting sand along the coast, and the water depth is only 2-4 meters." Mond
Pointing to various locations in Hongpai Port, he said, "Without sand dredging and renovation, the utilization rate of this port is very limited."
"We don't have a dredger... we can temporarily assemble one." Someone's eyes fell on the excavator that was digging, "It should be enough to get a floating barge and fix the excavator on it."
Mond nodded: "I did see someone doing this in the inland port - there is no technical difficulty, as long as it is fixed firmly. However, the excavation depth here is large, and I don't know if the bucket arm is long enough. And it is used too hard.
There is no place to replenish the hydraulic parts..."
"There is no need for a special excavator." Jiang Ye, as the site clerk of the Machinery Department, said, "Hydraulic excavators have only been around for a few years. In the past, the power drive on engineering equipment was a winch with a wire rope. In the 1970s, large construction sites
There are many excavators like this.”
With the manufacturing capacity of the industrial port, it is not a problem to build a specialized dredger. They have steam engines and can also manufacture centrifugal pumps. In order to put it into use immediately, Jiang Ye proposed a simple bucket-type dredger plan.
, using the iron barrel floating barges stored by the Port Authority for assembling temporary floating docks, and installing steam engine-driven buckets on them.
"Use two floating barges, install brackets across the two barges, and install the folding bucket in the middle. Use wire ropes and winches to control the lifting, opening and closing of the buckets," Jiang Ye said about his idea, "The biggest technology
The difficulty lies in the closing device of the bucket, but the Venetians could build something similar in the 16th century - it was still driven by human power. There is no reason why we can't build something better."
Mond asked: "How long will it take to use it?"
"Three to five days." Jiang Ye said, "There is no need to build a ship, just use the existing equipment. The main thing is that the machinery factory has to make an excavation bucket and an opening and closing control device. Steam engines, wire ropes and winches are the mechanical interfaces.
They are all in stock and can be used. As for the small barges used to transport mud, you can use the small barges built for the Nandu River - and it can be towed by a small boat. "
Mond nodded and looked at Ji Wusheng. Ji Wusheng said, "If you think it's okay, I'll have no problem - you are an expert."
"I'm a bricklayer." Mond joked and coughed several times. A maid in overalls quickly put a light woolen coat on him.
"The current Red Card Port should be accessible to ships with a capacity of less than 1,000 tons. We will first explore the channel and mark the appropriate channel and anchorage. Then we will build an ore loading and unloading dock - at least let a temporary unloading dock be used first."
With the dock, many large, heavy, oversized and long equipment to be installed can be transported directly to the shore by ships, instead of being transported by 48-wheel heavy-loaded flatbed oxcarts pulled by a large number of oxen as is the case now.
There was also a motion to lay the rails for the Ma Niao-Bopu train, but it was estimated that too much wrought iron would be consumed, and the Planning Institute was unable to come up with this additional plan—the Planning Institute's steel reserves were already large.
Part of it has been invested in the development of Ma Niao, and the stock has bottomed out. The conclusion is that at best, factory railways can only be laid in industrial zones.
Crawler tractors equipped with bulldozers and buckets were roaring not far away - this was the "tractor armored troops" commanded by Bai Yu who were excavating earth. A deep trench was dug in the red earth, and many people wearing
Special workers in overalls, with shaved heads and white triangle marks on their sleeves, are working at the bottom of the pit, paving stones. This is a large drainage canal for the entire development zone. Industrial wastewater will be discharged into this main canal through various branch canals, and then
Send it to the wastewater treatment plant. Of course, Ji Wusheng knows that Tian Jiujiu's so-called industrial wastewater treatment is nothing more than simple treatments such as multi-stage sedimentation, aeration, chemical acid-base neutralization - with Lingao's industrial level,
It's also difficult to handle it better.
The ditch is deep and wide. Boats can be rowed in the drainage channel, and sidewalks have been built on both sides for maintenance personnel to walk.
Water supply is transported using large-diameter reinforced concrete casings - in order to reduce the degree of water pollution during transportation. The water supply pipelines are buried in large culverts of the same size to facilitate future maintenance, replacement and installation of other pipes and lines. Such trenches
It also has certain military significance, such as concealed delivery of infantry.
Since Lingao Industry does not currently lack enough steel and cement to make prefabricated panels covering the tops of the trenches, these channels can only be left open as open channels for a long time.
Heavy industry consumes a lot of water. In addition to using the nearby water source of the Ma Niao River, the river water is also diverted from the Wenlan River through pipelines. Tian Jiujiu is also planning to build a large-scale rainwater collection system in the development zone - of course, this
All rely on the steel plant to be put into operation as soon as possible.
In the distance, there are many scaffoldings, and the temporarily installed steam crane is smoking, hoisting wrought iron forged trusses, and assembling the elevated factory building. There is a new open-hearth steelmaking workshop, and the new converter workshop is located next to it. According to the plan
, after the blast furnace and steelmaking workshop are completed and put into operation, the converter workshop and steel rolling workshop currently located in the small steel plant on the Wenlan River will be moved here. At the same time, all the uninstalled steel rolling equipment will be installed, and a steel rolling mill will be officially established.
The place where the bucket elevator and water tank stand tall is the mineral processing plant - most of the equipment in this mineral processing plant are brought from the old time and space: 2 mineral concentrators, 5 crushers and 2 crushers. In the future
All iron ore that cannot be established in the mining area due to objective conditions that cannot be established in the mining area is sent here for mineral processing. Of course, it can also undertake the task of selecting some other non-ferrous metal ores.
The largest and most difficult project at the core of Ma Yao Steel Company: the construction of the blast furnace is nearing completion. A 10-meter-high blast furnace has been erected. It is close to the coast, and typhoon prevention is a very critical issue. Therefore, not only the foundation of the blast furnace was spared, but
Reinforced cement concrete mixed with the best cement produced by Lingao is used. Around the furnace body of the blast furnace, a circle of reinforced beams and columns and fixed anchor cables are built for support.
The capacity of the Ma Niao No. 1 blast furnace is 125 cubic meters, and its technical level is roughly the level of the old time and space standards of 1880 to 1900. It is a very severe challenge for the industry. Ji Wusheng is the only one who has ever entered the blast furnace hearth and worked as an operator in front of the furnace.
A veteran of the construction industry, he became the main technician responsible for the construction of blast furnaces.
He is no longer the "Director of the Steel Plant". In the recent personnel appointment letter, his title has been changed to People's Commissar of the Metallurgical Industry under the Manufacturing Director's Department, General Manager of Lingao Steel Company, and Chief Engineer. He has a series of distinguished names.
His title could not help him overcome a series of difficulties in the construction of steel plants: after all, no one among the elders had actually built a blast furnace or an open-hearth furnace, and no one had systematically engaged in the design, supporting and construction projects of a complete steel company.
.Except for the information in the big library, everything in actual operation depends on exploration.
"If it weren't for the ready-made steel plant design materials and drawings in the big library, it would have taken us ten years to build this steel plant alone," Mei Wan said with emotion.
Ji Wusheng said: "Without information, we don't even know where to start the project. At least the first blast furnace is almost completed now - as long as we can start making steel and iron, the project will be half completed."
