Chapter five hundred and sixteen
Chapter 516
Out of guilt, Zhang Huairen secretly looked at Zhang Qiang several times. Every time Zhang Qiang was staring at the furnace with all his attention, which made him breathe a little relieved. He thought that he was too brave and knew that his methods were perfect and would not be discovered at all. He was still so trembling at this time. After calming down, Zhang Huairen began to look for opportunities to use the same trick again and destroy this experiment. Seeing dozens of raw materials added to the furnace one after another, the last one was left. Several people were preparing to add to the furnace as he ordered. Zhang Huairen suddenly called them and asked, "Has these been weighed?" Several workers nodded at the same time.
Zhang Huairen frowned and said, "The experiments have been repeated and repeated failures. I suspect that it was caused by inaccurate weighing of some raw materials, which led to the error in the ratio of raw materials. For the sake of safety, go and weigh these raw materials again." "Mr. Zhang, no, right? According to your instructions, we have weighed them seven or eight times, and the error at each time does not exceed ten grams. With such strict requirements, we have never even produced special steel." A person who looked like a foreman said in confusion.
Zhang Huairen's face turned solemn and said in a deep voice, "What do you know? The most important thing about science is rigor. Even a slight error may cause a complete failure! I ask you to weigh it again and then weigh it. Where did so much nonsense come from? Okay! If you don't go, I will go by myself!" After that, Zhang Huairen strode over and picked up the small bag of rare metal. Seeing Zhang Huairen's hands on his own, several workers were shocked. If the old factory manager knew about this, even if they would not lose their jobs, a scolding would be inevitable.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang, let's do it. How can you do such rough work?" The foreman hurriedly said to Zhang Huairen with a grudge, then turned to shout at the workers, "What are you still standing there? Why don't you weigh it quickly? If you miss the time for delivery and the experiment failed, you can get home and take the children!" The workers then came back to their senses as if they were waking up from a dream, and hurriedly grabbed the bag and weighed them again. No one noticed that while the few people were panic, Zhang Huairen had quietly added some things to these raw materials.
Not long after, a few people returned after weighing and weighing. The foreman said, "Mr. Zhang, fortunately, you asked us to weigh it again. This bag of raw materials is more than 20 grams more than the required weight." Zhang Huairen shouted with a stern face and said, "What are you doing? You can't even weigh the weight. You almost made a big deal this time." The foreman nodded hurriedly, and kept accompanying him. Zhang Huairen made a look of regret, sighing and said, "Similar things are absolutely not allowed to happen again, otherwise you can leave by yourself!"
"Yes, yes, we remember, we will never commit it again!" Several workers nodded one after another. Zhang Huairen waved his hand and said, "It's almost time, let's prepare to put it on!" As he said that, several workers poured the bag of rare metal raw materials into the huge furnace, and the temperature in the furnace rose a lot in an instant. Zhang Huairen let out a long sigh of relief, and subconsciously turned his head to look at Zhang Qiang, and found that Zhang Qiang's eyes were still on the furnace, as if he had not noticed what was happening on them at all. A heart holding his arms finally fell to the ground.
The smelting process of several hours was quickly over the anxious and expectant mood of everyone. The moment of steel production finally arrived, and the entire workshop held its breath at this time. The previous dozen experiments were as smooth as this time, but the results were always disappointing. Zhou Tao's eyes were staring at the furnace rolling with steel, and his fists were clenched tightly, so even a blind man could feel the tension in his heart at this moment. Qiu Ping was no exception. His old face was like drinking a pound of burning knife, red and transparent.
"Mr. Zhang..." Zhou Tao looked up at Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang nodded and said, "Let's come out!" Zhou Tao took a deep breath and suddenly pressed the control switch. The steel in the furnace flowed into the template like a rushing torrent. One piece of steel ingot after another. After a series of technical processing such as cooling and quenching, one by one, the steel ingots with dazzling silver white slowly appeared in front of everyone. These steel ingots exuded a silver glow. At first glance, they looked like silver ingots, smooth and fine, without any gaps.
When they saw these steel ingots, Qiu Ping and Zhou Tao exclaimed at the same time, and an inexplicable excitement suddenly burst out on their faces. After more than ten failed experiments, they finally saw this complete steel ingot. However, the two did not dare to express their excitement too much, just because they were the real "blood steel" and still had to undergo the final test. The two forced the joy of success and cast a consulting look at Zhang Qiang. Zhang Qiang nodded gently, Qiu Ping and Zhou Tao rushed out at the same time and touched the already cooled steel ingot.
The tentacles were bright, as if they were touching the ice. The perfect feel made Zhou Tao tremble violently, and his eyebrows were filled with unspeakable shock. Isn’t that the same? He had been dealing with steel all his life, but this was the first time he touched the magical steel like "blood steel". Just as the two were excited, Zhang Huairen looked disbelief, and his eyes were filled with deep doubts and confusion. He achieved the same failures as this time, but why did it not work this time?
"This... this must not be the real 'blood steel', it's just a better appearance. It will definitely not have the characteristics of 'blood steel'." Zhang Huairen tried hard to comfort himself in his heart, his face seemed a little in a hurry. Zhang Qiang's spiritual sense held all this in his eyes, and the corner of his mouth twitched, and a sneer appeared. Zhang Qiang said to Zhou Tao, "Try how heavy it is."
Zhou Taoen said, picked up his sleeves, squatted slightly, hugged both ends of the steel ingot, and exerted force, and the steel ingot suddenly left the ground. If it were ordinary steel, such a large steel ingot, weighing at least a hundred kilograms, the strength needed to lift it from the ground was not something that a person could do. Therefore, Zhou Tao used the strength to feed his breasts this time. But he forgot that this "blood steel" is not as light as ordinary steel, just like plastic. Zhou Tao was like lifting a feather with a hundred kilograms of strength. After using his strength, he was unable to stand firmly and lying heavily on the ground.
Covering his butt that was hurt by the fall, Zhou Tao stood up excitedly, holding the steel ingot with one hand, waving it wildly, and shouting to Zhang Qiang with great excitement, "Mr. Zhang, we have succeeded, we finally made 'blood steel'!" Zhang Qiang chuckled and said, "Don't be rushing to be happy first, try its hardness." Zhou Tao nodded, found a heavy hammer from a worker, aimed it at the steel ingot, and smashed it hard with his rounded arms, smashed it three times in a row. Then he looked at the surface of the steel ingot, which was still as smooth as a mirror. Not to mention the sunken marks, even the slightest slipping marks were not left. This hardness made everyone present grow their mouths in surprise.
Before the experiment, Qiu Ping, Zhou Tao and others knew about the characteristics of "blood steel". However, at that time, all this was just a pile of empty data. Now the real thing was placed in front of them, and it felt different. After three days of suffering, it was finally successful. Qiu Ping's excited tears filled his eyes and his whole body was trembling. Zhou Tao was no exception. The burden on his body was finally removed, and he was filled with ease and pleasure. He couldn't help but let out a series of shaking laughter like a shocking sound.
Accompanied by Zhou Tao's crazy laughter, the entire workshop was boiling. Some of the workers who had worked hard for three days cheered endlessly, and some cried in each other. Strong excitement flowed in everyone's heart, except for Zhang Huairen. When Zhou Tao used a hammer to confirm that the silver-bright steel ingot that emitted metallic brilliance was "blood steel", a thunder sounded in Zhang Huairen's mind, which was blown up at that time.
He spent so much effort, but he could not stop the emergence of "Xuegang", which made Zhang Huairen's heart full of helplessness. With helplessness, Zhang Huairen's heart was still filled with despair and regret. "Xuegang" finally succeeded in the experiment, which undoubtedly meant that he had completely failed the task assigned to him by Huang Ziwen. When he thought that Huang Ziwen would take revenge against him, Zhang Huairen couldn't help but regret it. If he had been more determined and returned the money from Huang Ziwen, he would not have been the same as today.
Just as everyone was having a carnival, Zhang Huairen's eyes suddenly turned black and his body fell heavily. "Job Zhang!" With the sound of shouts and violent shaking, Zhang Huairen slowly regained consciousness. He opened his eyes and saw that there were all the concerns around him. While Zhang Huairen felt warm in his heart, a trace of guilt surged from the bottom of his heart, and tears accumulated in his eyes unconsciously.
"Mr. Zhang, what's wrong with you?" Zhou Tao held Zhang Huairen's hand and asked nervously. Zhang Huairen opened his mouth, but he didn't say a word. At this moment, a clear voice echoed in his ears, "I think he is tired! The work every day and night are still under tremendous pressure, even those who are beaten will not bear it." Zhang Huairen turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound. There, Zhang Qiang looked at him with a smile. Zhang Qiang's smile was so sincere and friendly, and Zhang Huairen's heart was as if the sun was shining in, and the spring breeze was blowing in.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang is right. I have really exhausted Zhang Gong these days. Zhang Gong, I'll send you back to rest. You don't come to work these days. Now the experiment of "Xuegang" has been successfully completed. Next is mass production. It's enough to have me and the old factory manager." Zhou Tao said to Zhang Huairen with gratitude and concern. Zhou Tao's concern made Zhang Huairen feel even more guilty, and his face seemed to be burning. He said stutteringly, "Okay, I...I'll go back first, I'll leave it here to you." After that, he struggled to stand up without anyone giving it away. His back disappeared into everyone's sight with a little desolate look.
"What's wrong with Xiao Zhang? I don't think he is very happy?" Qiu Ping and Zhang Huairen have worked together for more than ten years and have a good understanding of Zhang Huairen. At this time, they couldn't help but ask to themselves with some suspicion. "Just as Mr. Zhang said, he must be exhausted! Let him rest for a few more days!" Zhou Tao said, and then said loudly to everyone, "Brothers, thanks to everyone's work day and night, this has been the success of the trial production of "Blood Steel". Everyone here has made contributions. In order to reward everyone's efforts, I will ask the Finance Department to prepare a thick red envelope for everyone!"
"Okay!" "Thank you!"... As soon as Zhou Tao's words came to an end, they sparked a warm cheer in the crowd. With a lot of joy and expectation of red envelopes, the workers left the company in groups, leaving only Zhang Qiang, Zhou Tao and Qiu Ping. Looking at the steel ingots flashing with dreamy silver light in front of them, Zhou Tao really felt like he was in a dream, and said quietly, "It's really hard to come at this moment, and I'm waiting for it very hard." Zhang Qiang smiled and said, "The efforts you have put in these three days are worth the reward."
"Haha... Isn't this thanks to you, Mr. Zhang? If you weren't here, I think we wouldn't have successfully refined 'blood steel. But I'm wondering, why did we have refined 'blood steel' as soon as you came? There is no difference between what we did and when you didn't come?" Zhou Tao said to Zhang Qiang in confusion. Zhang Qiang chuckled and said, "What do you think about it, anyway, now that the 'blood steel' has been refined, there is no need to think about anything else."
Zhou Tao shook his head and said, "That's not what he said. Although 'blood steel' has been refined, I am still confused. At least I still don't know what happened to our dozen experiments before. Even this success made me feel a little puzzled. All this is really strange. I am worried that if we fail again in the future, we still can't find the reason, which may be a troublesome again!"
Zhou Tao's concerns were justified, and Qiu Ping's face was covered with a shadow, and he was worried that this time it would be a surprise success, and what if the next time it failed inexplicably? They could not keep going so inexplicably. In that case, no one would feel that it would be solid if it was on anyone.
