When it was almost time to get off work, everyone finally remembered what happened with their belly, and then went to the steel plant cafeteria to eat.

After finishing eating, it was already evening, and everyone went to the liquid oxygen workshop again to check the situation.

In this half-afternoon, the compressor has found its optimal working condition under the debugging of the workers, and the liquid oxygen produced has filled more than half of the large tank.

Of course, as you become more proficient, this output will increase.

But being able to produce so much in such a short period of time made Mr. Xia smile.

More importantly, this machine does not need to be shut down after working for a few hours like Jinling.

To put it bluntly, if the machine breaks down, it will be fine. If it is useless, the machine shop can make another one.

This situation makes Mr. Xia eager to report the news to Mr. Huang, and also wants others to see that this is the strength of the machinery factory.

Before leaving, Mr. Xia asked the steel plant when the oxygen top-blown converter would be commissioned. After asking An Zhongsheng and others for their opinions, Yang Xiaotao replied that it could be done at any time.

The liquid oxygen produced today, plus tonight's supply, can fully support the top blowing experiment.

After hearing this, Zhenlao thought about it for a moment, and finally decided to put the experiment date on the day after tomorrow.

Yang Xiaotao and others didn't know why, but since Mr. Xia said it, it must be something to consider.

After Mr. Xia left, Yang Xiaotao asked the steel plant to continue producing liquid oxygen, while paying attention to its storage. This thing has many uses, and it will always be useful if it is stored.

As for the liquid oxygen storage tank, Yang Xiaotao also looked at it. There is no technical difficulty. The steel plant can do it by itself, which saves a lot of work.

Guan Zhiyong also saw that this liquid oxygen manufacturing workshop would be an important industry of their steel plant in the future. He was very concerned about it now.

On the other side, it was already dark when Xia Xian returned to the No. 1 Machinery Department, but the excitement in his heart made him not think too much, so he picked up the phone and made a call.

After a while, Mr. Huang's voice came from the other end of the phone.

At first I couldn't believe it, but after repeated confirmations, there was silence on the phone for a moment, and then I left a message, "Wait until I get back!"

Mr. Xia hung up the phone, leaned back on his chair, lit a cigarette, inhaled comfortably, and then blew out smoke rings.

The next day, Mr. Xia just arrived at the First Machinery Department and was blocked at the door of the office by two people before he even entered.

Mr. Xia looked at the two people who stopped him, "What are you two doing like this?"

"Hey, Lao Xia, what did you do yesterday?"

The speaker was Mr. Sun, who had competed with Mr. Xia. He was smiling sinisterly and constantly looking at Mr. Xia.

Mr. Xia ignored him and was about to go in, but Mr. Sun grabbed his arm. Mr. Li next to him also stepped forward and grabbed his clothes, as if he would not let go unless he said anything.

"Lao Xia, people in the Ming Dynasty don't do secret things. You should talk about this private matter quickly, otherwise don't blame the old brothers for taking action."

Mr. Xia felt a sudden thought, but his face was serious, "What are you doing? Why are you telling me?"

"Honestly, it's boring for you to be like this. I really thought my brothers didn't know!"

"What do you know?" Mr. Xia asked quietly, thinking to himself, could it be that Mr. Huang told the two of them?

Or a machine shop...

Mr. Sun on the side laughed and said, "Yesterday, there were so many people in the machinery factory, and they drove several trucks to pull a bunch of things. They went to the steel factory with great fanfare, why don't you say something?"

Mr. Xia immediately laughed, thinking that there was a traitor!

"Oh, this is what you are talking about!"

"Otherwise, which one else?"

"Haha, let's go into the room and talk, let's go into the room and talk."

Mr. Xia stopped struggling, and the two of them followed him into the house.

But before Mr. Xia could speak, Mr. Sun asked first, "Lao Xia, are you trying some new method?"

What Mr. Sun is talking about is the oxygen top-blown converter method. Recently, because of the Gemini Project launched by the Machinery Factory, many people in their First Machinery Department are talking about this matter, and some even say that the Metallurgical Bureau is also experimenting with this new technology.

technology.

Of course Mr. Sun and the others are in charge of many steel plants. Although they are not big, they don't want to distance themselves.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that within the First Machinery Department today, everyone is no longer as good as before, and no one is much stronger or weaker.

Because of the strong rise of the machinery factory, it not only broke the balance of the key factories of the First Machinery Department, but also put a lot of pressure on the people in charge of them.

Especially seeing that Lao Xia's life is getting better and better, if he wants to avoid being distanced, he has to find a way.

But the change in this industry cannot be completed overnight, unless they also have a "Red Star Machinery Factory".

But this is impossible.

Lao Xia's foundation has been laid, and as long as there is enough time to develop, the distance between them will become wider and wider.

That's why they came to ask. Even if they couldn't be the first one, they could still finish the soup immediately after.

After Mr. Sun finished speaking, Mr. Li also laughed, "Lao Xia, are you all ready?"

"Yes, when will you test drive?"

However, Mr. Xia sat down on the chair slowly and took out a cigarette, but did not take out a fire. When Mr. Sun saw it, he quickly took out a match from his pocket and lit it.

Then he slowly said, "I went yesterday to deliver the equipment. After testing, there is no problem. It will be officially used tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? So soon?"

"It's fast. It has been delayed for more than a month. If Yang Xiaotao hadn't been on a business trip, it would have been done long ago."

Xia Laoyou said dissatisfiedly, but in the ears of the two of them, he was full of praise and pride.

The two looked at each other and said, "Lao Xia, let's go and have a look tomorrow."

"Welcome, warm welcome. By the way, Lao Huang will be back soon. Let's go together then."

"Old Huang will come too? Isn't he in the clouds? So far away..."

"I called him last night and said he had a flight today."

The two looked at each other again. If they didn't know clearly, would Lao Huang be willing to fly?

These days, you have to apply to fly, and leaders, even at Lao Huang's level, have to travel a lot.

"hey-hey"

"Lao Xia, let's discuss something."

Mr. Sun moved a chair to Mr. Xia.

"No, there's no good reason for you to be so attentive. Stay away from me."

"Let me tell you, you are a person who can't think well."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You make it difficult for me to think better."

Mr. Xia said unceremoniously, and Mr. Sun took a deep breath, then still smiled.

"You agree to the terms and do me a favor."

Now Mr. Xia became interested, but he still moved his chair to distance himself, "Why do you want to help me first?"

"Lao Li, tell him."

Mr. Sun was speechless and could only let Mr. Li speak.

"Lao Xia, Lao Sun and I want to give us a set of what you did yesterday."

"That's it?"

"Ah, that's it."

"OK!"

Mr. Xia rolled his eyes and agreed.

Both of them laughed, and then heard Mr. Xia continue to speak, "But the quota for the next batch of college students belongs to both of you."

Upon hearing this, both of them turned pale.

College students in this era are rare. They will be assigned jobs after graduation, and the benefits are also very good.

However, college students have a lot of knowledge and their horizons are wide open, so they are also the focus of competition among various departments.

If you look at Yang Xiaotao of Hongxing Machinery Factory, you will know that one person's ability suddenly turned the original steel rolling mill into the current machinery factory.

Who can guarantee that there won’t be the next ‘Yang Xiaotao’ among these college students?

Therefore, we attach great importance to the belonging of these college students.

The two of them weighed it in their minds, and finally Mr. Sun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you all my places."

However, Mr. Sun thought thoroughly. There were not many places in the first-machine section. It would be good if he could have three. Besides, the probability that one of the three would have Yang Xiaotao's ability was estimated to be less than one in ten thousand.

Instead of taking chances, it is better to keep up with the express train in front of us and revitalize the industries under our command first.

"I'll give you mine too."

Mr. Li said happily.

Those college students were given to him, and he arranged them below. He might as well let Lao Xia arrange them, which would be considered as making the best use of their talents.
