Chapter 2800

Everyone has his own ambitions. Qian Tiandun's goal is to conquer the world, and it is understandable that he wants to change his place to continue his military career. However, Bai Kesi's words seemed to have a deeper meaning, and of course Chen Yixin immediately heard the implication.

Among the group of people who led troops to fight in the north more than 20 years ago, Chen Yixin was the youngest and most junior, and he was also the only general who had no military experience before crossing over and became a monk halfway through crossing over.

Qian Tiandun, Wang Tom, Harugong...the qualifications and abilities of these people who led the troops at that time were all superior to Chen Yixin. But in the end, it was the people who stayed in the Northern Region to take charge of the overall situation who followed these big guys at that time.

Chen Yixin learns to lead troops in war.

Of course, there were various chances and coincidences that created opportunities for Chen Yixin, but this result was not simply due to luck. Indeed, it was also the reason why Qian Tiandun and others wanted to support him. Apart from anything else, if he had not been rich,

With Tiandun and others jointly recommending him, the executive committee probably would not make Chen Yixin the first choice for the chief official of the Northern Region.

After Bai Kesi said the words, he felt something was wrong, so he added: "But it turns out that you are indeed the most suitable person for this position. If we really let a few of them sit in this seat, the Northern Region may not be what it is today.

Today’s construction achievements.”

Chen Yixin smiled nonchalantly and said: "If Lao Qian is willing to stay, I will be willing to help him."

Compared with Chen Yixin, who got married and started a family in Fushan County, Qian Tiandun and others do not have a strong sense of belonging to the northern region, but Chen Yixin regards this place as his hometown in this time and space, not just a job.

Place.

From a personal perspective, Chen Yixin is obviously more invested in the Northern Region, and because of this, he is more suitable than others to become a local official in the Northern Region.

Chen Yixin seemed to have finished talking, so he stood up and said: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early. I will take you to see the production situation of the copper mine tomorrow."

"Just in time to bring some of the equipment we brought here to the mine." Bai Kesi also felt a little tired, and then got up to see off the guests.

The next morning, Chen Yixin came to invite Bai Kesi to inspect the Fushan Copper Mine. Bai Letong, accompanied by Chen Pingliao, went to visit a local official college.

Bai Kesi escorted a lot of supplies on this trip north. In addition to ammunition supplies for the garrison in the northern region, there was also some machinery and equipment used for industrial production.

Haihan's mining of mineral deposits in the northern region can be traced back to 20 years ago. So far, there are many mines in production in Shandong and Liaodong, as well as supporting downstream industries such as smelting and processing, with as many as 100,000 related employees.

Tens of thousands. In terms of the degree of industrialization, it has even far exceeded the Donghai region, which has a higher economic level but lacks mineral resources.

Although Chen Yixin was just a teenager who had not gone to college when he time traveled, he had a clear understanding of the importance of industrial development. Therefore, since he took charge of the Northern Region, he has continued to invest resources in industrial construction projects and continue to increase industrial development.

Production scale.

However, due to technical capabilities, the various mechanical equipment needed for industrial production in the northern region still depends on the supply of Hainan Island, which to a certain extent also slows down the speed of industrial development. Chen Yixin hopes to get more than just

Various production equipment shipped from China, as well as industrial upgrades based on this.

The road from Majiazhuang to the Fushan Copper Mine has also been hardened, and its carrying capacity is far greater than that of the previous loess official road. The passage of heavy-duty horse-drawn carriages equipped with machinery and equipment is also very smooth.

"That's where the smoke is coming from." Chen Yixin pointed to the sky in front of him. The smoking place is the smelting plant supporting the Fushan Copper Mine.

When Bai Kesi came to Fushan County last time, he also inspected the Fushan Copper Mine. However, there was not a decent smelting plant at that time. The ore with a relatively high copper content was only crudely smelted using local methods. After the finished product was transported back to the south,

It still needs to be purified and refined.

But here again, the production level has obviously improved visibly.

There are several large sheds built outside the factory area. Under the sheds are pushed into hills like coke, charcoal, anthracite, limestone, ore, etc. These are the raw materials used for smelting ore. Under each shed there are

Several workers were using shovels to load the raw materials onto small carts and transport them to the smelting furnace.

Chen Yixin led Bai Kesi through the stockpile area and into the steaming production workshop.

The scale of production here is far different from what it was 20 years ago. There are at least a dozen smelting furnaces of various sizes, distributed in a large area. Chen Yixin led the way while introducing the current smelting furnaces to Bai Kesi.

production process.

The ore excavated from the mine is first screened and crushed nearby, and then transported here by rail train. After workers mix the ore, flux, fuel, etc., they put it into a closed blast furnace and heat it to about a thousand degrees for smelting.

, remove the volatile substances, and obtain matte with a copper content of 20% to 50%.

Then the matte is moved into the converter, quartz sand is added, air is blown in with a blower, and after smelting again, blister copper with a purity of more than 90% can be obtained.

Then move the blister copper into the reverberatory furnace for the third smelting. After removing the slag and injecting heavy oil, refined copper can be obtained through chemical reaction with a purity of more than 99%, which can be directly used in various industrial productions.

In the past, such a production process could not be realized. For example, the furnace base of the reverberatory furnace bears a huge load and needs to be made of reinforced concrete, while the inner layer of the furnace wall needs to be built with magnesia-alumina bricks to smelt blister copper into refined copper.

Heavy oil needs to be injected. The various materials involved can only be produced after Haihan's industrial level has improved in recent years.

The professional smelting equipment supporting the Fushan Copper Mine requires very high construction costs because it requires external technical support. However, the value of the increased production efficiency and product quality has already covered this cost.

Baikes brought several steam-powered blowers to the smelting plant this time. Their power is much greater than the models currently used by the smelting plant, and they have been trialled for a period of time in the Changhua Industrial Zone on Hainan Island.

After these iron lumps are installed in place, it is expected that the production efficiency of the smelting plant can be increased by more than 20%.

Of course, the equipment that needs to be updated is not provided for free. The output of the Fushan Copper Mine is purchased by the Ministry of Industry, so it is natural to pay for the customized production equipment from the Ministry of Industry.
