Section 18
"Sure, with your Wei Zi's words, I, Old Li, will also lose my life." Old Li knocked down the ashes, "Tomorrow I will call back a few of the best apprentices and work together. Tell me what the picture is drawn on?"
Old Li also learned from others that Li Wei was called Wei Zi...
Li Wei didn't care about this very popular and friendly name. He pointed to each part on the picture and explained it carefully. Old Li kept nodding.
The old and the young, one talked and the other listened, and kept asking questions and answering each other. It was not until dawn that the two of them had a nap with unfulfilled desire.
After two days of thinking, Lao Li and several apprentices roughly understood what was drawn on Li Wei's picture. The special alloy materials collected by Lao Li and Li Wei can only produce a small amount of new weapons.
The melting process of special alloys greatly challenges the people in the arsenal, but Director Li and every technician did not retreat. In their consciousness, the significance of these new weapons is the least important. On the contrary, if the difficulty of the process can be solved, the production process of the arsenal can be solidly improved. Everyone participating in the trial production will regard it as an exam, an exam to prove their own abilities.
The smelting of tungsten ore with high melting point and high strength has taken great effort. The original blacksmith furnace was not available at all. Steel refining is OK, but it is simply a toy that can completely melt the tungsten ore.
Under the advice of Li Wei, a technical consultant who is specializing in answering questions, a new crucible was first made of graphite and high-temperature silicate materials. In order to keep the heat, a native method was used to make an insulating layer with mud and granulated adobe made of mud and granulated grass, and coke and blowers were used to provide high temperature guarantee.
Things were not as smooth as Li Wei thought.
The furnace was fryed, and the strength and pressure of the new furnace were not controlled properly, causing one worker to be seriously injured and six workers to be slightly injured.
Li Wei did not expect that because of his incomplete knowledge, a worker almost died. For this reason, he took care of the worker for three days and three nights until he passed the dangerous period. He also wiped him himself, fed water and medicine, and tried his best to recover the worker's trauma as soon as possible. He was always responsible for the mistakes he made. For this reason, he wrote a review letter, read it out loud in public, and posted it at the entrance of the factory office.
As a result, Director Li and several other backbones also held collective meetings and self-examination, but everything was a technical breakthrough from scratch. No one could guarantee that there would be no accidents. Others in the arsenal did not blame Li Wei. So far, there were sixteen names on the arsenal's death list, and the seriously injured workers did not resent Li Wei. Under such arduous conditions, accidents were always inevitable. In the final analysis, all this was forced by the Japanese.
The plan for the new furnace was temporarily put on hold for a long time. Li Wei was depressed for a long time. He kept studying the reasons for the furnace and re-planned a complete set of safe and feasible plans. However, because he was afraid of re-exploding the furnace, he still dared not release it. In the end, with the encouragement of Director Li and the seriously injured worker, the arsenal acted again.
The new furnace added more solid and high-temperature-resistant materials. This time, Li Wei took the ignition by himself. Director Li asked him to observe from a distance, and the other people did it. Li Wei insisted on refusing to say that others are human beings, and he is also human beings. Everyone is the same person, and no one is more precious than anyone else. Why should he stand behind?
Li Wei has this confidence that he will never blow up the furnace this time. Even if there is another accident, he will be the first to be affected and no one else needs to block the disaster for him.
Although he said this, Li Wei was still feeling irritated in his heart when he ignited the fire.
Fortunately, this time it went smoothly and nothing serious happened. The severe high temperature turned everything in the furnace into liquid, and the smoke emitted was discharged to the various vents of the cave through multiple ventilation systems. Fortunately, there was no infrared reconnaissance equipment at this time, so there was no need to worry about the danger of the arsenal being exposed.
The furnace was not allowed to stand within three meters. Li Wei just stood in the distance with a special stirring rod, gently stirring in the furnace, carrying the sunglasses he brought from Modern on his face. He ignored the high temperature under the rain and focused his spirit in this hot furnace. He did not seem to feel the blisters slowly appearing due to the scalding of the high temperature. Now the only thing that satisfies him was that the alloy of the whole furnace was mixing in the appropriate proportions planned.
The first furnace alloy was poured out, and the fiery red metal melt was quickly divided by the technician who had been prepared long ago, poured into a pre-made high-precision mold, and was also cooled at a very slow high temperature. This was the exact opposite method of rapid cooling and quenching to ensure that the metal has sufficient toughness.
Looking at the technicians who were busy working, Li Wei smiled. He felt that he had a very real sense of accomplishment. No matter what, if he had no food to eat in the future, he could at least go to the steel mill to make a living.
At this time, I realized that I had been blistered by hot water and was not in human form. An extremely shrill howl heard in the cave of the arsenal. At that time, many soldiers told each other that the arsenal had touched the dragon veins of the mountains. Technical consultant Li Zi was unfortunately released and licked enthusiastically by the fire dragon, but the person who knew the truth just kept covering his mouth and laughing, and refused to explain what was going on.
At least half a month, Li Wei did not dare to come out to see people. His face was covered with water until he soaked in herbal water for half a month. At least he had a famous doctor prescribed a secret recipe for ancestral inheritance. He had shed a layer of skin like a silkworm before he returned to the human form. This prescription really had two brushes. In addition, he tried his best to use medicine with Li Wei in time, so he did not lose his scars and returned a handsome boy in the arsenal.
The melted metal is first made into a tool, which is extremely strong and very durable. The original machine tool is re-tightened, and alloy materials are used in important parts, greatly improving the accuracy.
After research on the arsenal, the alloy parts were produced one by one and inspected by Li Wei one by one. Although it was not completely mechanized, with the cooperation of semi-hand and semi-mechanical parts, each part was not bad at all, and even had better quality.
