Chapter 640: 626 Li Jiacheng's Luck: Smelting Super Special Steel, Country

Noon,

Kwai Chung Dock.

Inside the maintenance dock, a group of mainland technical engineers were eating lunch.

These few days, they spent most of their time on the supply ship, studying and studying, forgetting to eat and sleep, wishing they could move onto the ship to sleep.

However, they still had to eat.

Five-Star Wah Kong Group canteen,

They were eating while discussing.

At this time, the TV in the canteen, ATV noon news was officially broadcast.

"Dear audience, good noon......"

On the TV screen, host Wen Huixin was wearing a bright red suit, her expression solemn and dignified:

"The 'MTR Racial Discrimination Conflict Case', which has received full attention from all of Hong Kong, completed its trial in the High Court today."

"What is the final result? Please watch the news......"

At this moment,

Hundreds of Five-Star Wah Kong dock workers in the canteen raised their heads one after another.

Showing a focused look.

"Sentenced?"

"What is the result?"

And the engineers from the mainland also raised their heads one after another.

"...... Lawyer Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei displayed the Mingxin Hospital critical illness notice, proving that the two old men are still in the ICU for rescue......"

"In the key witness link, the testimonies of many citizens were highly consistent......"

"After three hours of fierce debate, the judge finally ruled: the plaintiff's evidence chain is not established, the defendant's side belongs to 'legitimate defense'......"

Once this report came out, all the dock workers in the venue cheered one after another.

"Good!"

"Done beautifully!"

Even the mainland engineers clapped and cheered one after another.

Conflicts between India and the country have never been few.

Not to mention before the founding of the country, after the founding of the country, friction continued, various provocations.

The mainland engineers naturally had no good impression of India, and seeing this news, they felt very happy.

Wen Huixin: "More ironically, after the trial, the three Indian defendants lost control of their emotions and cursed 'untouchables'......"

The camera played the scene of the Indian guys excitedly slapping the table, cursing the words "untouchables".

Dock workers: "???"

Mainland engineers: "???"

Angry!

"Damn, daring to say such words in Hong Kong?"

"Think this is the garbage place like India?"

"Go back and drink Ganges water."

At this time,

The citizens of Hong Kong watching the TV news were also very angry.

Thousands of households, various tea restaurants, company canteens...... everywhere was a sound of cursing.

Wen Huixin: "After the trial ended, defense lawyer Councilor Jian Councilor Jian Aowei announced that he would counter-sue the Indian defendants for 'intentional injury to the elderly', demanding compensation for medical and mental damages."

All Hong Kong citizens shouted in unison:

"Good!!"

"Must be like this!"

Wen Huixin: "As of now, the Indian Consulate in Hong Kong has not made a formal apology for the racial discrimination remarks. ATV will continue to pay attention to the follow-up development of the incident. I am Wen Huixin, noon news, witnessing justice in Hong Kong with you."

The news ended.

The mainland engineers quickly finished their meal and left the canteen.

This news certainly made them feel relieved.

However, at this moment, they only had the unfinished survey drawings on the supply ship and the steel samples waiting for analysis in the laboratory in their minds.

They kept in mind their most important task————research the supply ship, absorb the knowledge, and turn it into their own use!

Serious, hardworking, focused, and fearless of sacrifice, this is the spirit of their generation of engineers!

Wah Kong · Temporary Material Laboratory.

Afternoon 15:00,

The wind of the Hong Kong autumn night wrapped in salty sea fog, poured into a residential house in a village near Kwai Chung, which was temporarily transformed into a material laboratory.

Even a small punching machine was there.

Under the bright light, seven or eight engineers in materials science were surrounding a workbench, carefully observing a steel slice the size of a fingernail with a magnifying glass.

"Old Zhang, is the data from the spectrometer out?" Chief Engineer Liu knocked on the ashtray, which was full of "Yangcheng" brand cigarette butts.

Turbine expert Old Zhang pushed the glasses that had slid to the tip of his nose, and spread a coordinate paper on the table:

"Preliminary analysis, besides conventional nickel and chromium, this steel also has trace amounts of vanadium and niobium. But the strangest thing is......" He circled an unknown peak in the spectrum with a red pen, "There is an unknown element absorption peak here, compared with the existing periodic table of elements, it might be...... several elements in rare earth."

"Rare earth?" Material group's Xiao Li suddenly raised his head, "Our domestic rare earth steel research has just started, Soviet people have already used it in warship materials?"

Chief Engineer Liu: "This is exactly what we need to figure out. The Soviet Union's rare earth mining started decades earlier than ours, maybe they have already researched some rare earth steel."

Chief Engineer Liu picked up another Soviet steel slice with tweezers, turning it against the light, the metal cross-section refracting dense austenite crystal grains,

"Look, this kind of 'equiaxed crystal + fine crystal strengthening' structure, our steel mills can't make it yet."

"How did they evenly cover the rare earth elements into the steel?"

"Wait...... is it possible...... they might have used electromagnetic stirring technology during smelting, to make the rare earth elements evenly distributed!"

"Eh, there is this possibility!"

In the whole workroom, everyone's eyes lit up.

Sometimes a flash of inspiration is a major breakthrough.

"Quick, let's test it as soon as possible......"

"Wait, what about rare earth? We don't have rare earth elements on hand now......"

"Immediately let the country send it over, as soon as possible!"

On the other side, Old Chen wrote on the title page of the test record with a fountain pen: "1993.10.29, night, rain. The grain size rating of the Soviet supply ship No. 4 steel reached level 12, our side only reached level 9. Gap: 3 levels. But the gap is not a chasm, we will definitely cross it! Definitely!"

"Old Zhang proposed the method of using electromagnetic stirring technology to mix rare earth elements, this might be a direction......"

*Du du du*~~~

Just at this time, a black Chevrolet stopped outside the door.

Director Guan Zu, Xu Xu Zhengyang, brought Li Jiacheng and came here.

Knocking on the door.

"Chief Engineer Liu, sorry to disturb......"

"Mr. Director Guan...... why are you here......"

Chief Engineer Liu came out to welcome him enthusiastically.

These two days, he had met with Director Guan Zu many times, knowing Director Guan Zu's energy, and was also the financier for their trip to Hong Kong this time.

"Chief Engineer Liu, this is Li Jiacheng."

Director Guan Zu introduced Li Jiacheng behind him.

"Researching some materials at the Computer Research Institute, luck is particularly good, solved several thorny material problems."

Director Guan Zu specifically emphasized "luck is particularly good".

"Hello teachers~~"

Li Jiacheng greeted politely.

The engineers in the room stopped their work, their eyes falling on Li Jiacheng.

Li Jiacheng's hair was a bit messy, dressed quite casually, wearing glasses, indeed having the temperament of a researcher...... just a bit young, no matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who can help.

Old Zhang's mouth twitched slightly: "Doing computer materials?"

Wang Gong's eyes were also full of suspicion.

However,

Director Guan Zu was a big financier, still had to give face.

"Since Mr. Director Guan recommended, stay and try first." Chief Engineer Liu pondered for a moment, "Xiao Wang, make room for Xiao Li, let him follow and record data."

Director Guan Zu patted Li Jiacheng's back: "Study hard, the teachers present are all big shots in materials science."

Li Jiacheng hurriedly said: "I will definitely study hard and ask the teachers for advice."

Director Guan Zu looked at Chief Engineer Liu: "Won't disturb you, wish you to reverse-engineer more advanced steel as soon as possible......"

Chief Engineer Liu smiled: "Thank you Mr. Director Guan for your auspicious words."

Tung Wah Hospital.

Inside the Indian's ward.

Several Indians were angry for a day.

The more they thought, the angrier they got, the more they thought, the more suffocated they felt, but they could only be angry helplessly.

Consul official earnestly: "Mr. Amir Khan, Mr. Ralph, you have seen the situation now...... Hong Kong is their home court, it is impossible for us to win the lawsuit."

"Media, witnesses, police, court, all are their people, how can we win?"

Injured Indian unwilling: "Could it be just let it go?"

Consul official: "My suggestion is, just let it go, the three of you leave Hong Kong as soon as possible. If it drags on until they sue you, and you go to court, and you still lose, you have to pay money, then do you pay or not? It's too ugly to make a scene."

"But~~"

"I don't accept it!"

"The doctor said my knee bone is broken, very likely to be disabled......"

"And me, my arm also had a steel plate inserted......"

The two Indians were very suffocated and unwilling.

Consul official: "However, you can't win the lawsuit in Hong Kong at all, as long as they bite hard that the two old men are critically ill, bite hard that others were fighting with you to save the old men, we can't win this lawsuit."

"This Hong Kong is too dark!"

"Doesn't talk about any law or not with us at all."

"They are just maintaining the interests of their Hong Kong people, after all, we are just foreigners to them."

The two injured Indians were silent.

Consul official: "There is one more point, if you don't leave, it's hard to say whether some impulsive Hong Kong citizens will take action to beat you. Your personal safety is hard to guarantee."

Once these words came out,

The two Indians shivered.

There is this possibility!

"Good, we'll go!"

"Leave now, I don't want to stay in this ghost place in Hong Kong anymore!"

"This Hong Kong is a stupid, backward, garbage place, after going back, I will definitely tell the whole country's citizens about this on TV."

"Right, let the citizens know how dark this Hong Kong is!"

The consul official breathed a sigh of relief, finally persuaded them.

"Good, I'll go arrange it immediately."

Hurriedly left.

Half an hour later,

Dark night and high wind,

Three Indian men, two sitting in wheelchairs, got into a van, and another Indian man drilled in behind.

"Drive~~"

"I never want to stay in this ghost place in Hong Kong again."

The three cursed.

"How long to the airport?"

"Need to enter North Point later, then pass through the tunnel, then walk along an airport road...... need 30 minutes......" The driver's English had a curry accent.

Amir Khan: "Don't know why, I always have a bad premonition."

"Will this group of black-hearted Hong Kong people intercept us on the road and beat us?"

"Drive faster......"

"Right, leave this ghost place quickly, I want to take a plane back to India."

At this time,

The van turned into a 2-lane street in North Point, old tenement buildings on both sides casting gloomy shadows under the streetlights.

Amir Khan suddenly shivered.

"Gentlemen," the driver said while driving, "after passing this street, you will enter the cross-harbor tunnel, and you will be safe——"

Suddenly,

*Bang*~~~

The tire seemed to have hit a nail, the front of the car bumped violently, shaking back and forth.

The driver slammed on the brakes, and the car stopped.

The two Indian Indians sitting in wheelchairs were miserable, bumped until they were dizzy, the bones that were originally connected were displaced again.

"Ah~~~"

Painful to the heart and lungs!

At this time,

Seven or eight masked men holding steel pipes surrounded them.

"Damn, I guessed it!"

"They really came!"

Amir Khan gritted his teeth: "I knew it, they would definitely retaliate against us!"

Soon, the people in the car were dragged out one by one.

"Let you curse 'untouchables'!"

"Offended our Hong Kong, still want to run!"

Soon,

The three Indian Indians, plus the driver, were beaten until they were in a mess.

Raj, the Indian who escaped without injury in the MTR incident, was dragged out alone by the leader.

The leader said fiercely:

"You didn't get injured last time, right?"

"My principle of being a person is: a family, must be neat and tidy!"

"Break his bones for me!"

A group of people waved steel rods.

Ah~~~

This time, Raj was directly beaten until his bones were broken.

Amir Khan and Ralph next to them looked on with anger, panic, and...... a little joy.

Now, it's fair!

"Remember," the leader grabbed Raj's hair, fiercely, "tonight, you guys leave Hong Kong for me, if you don't leave, I will come over every day to teach you a lesson, break a bone every day."

"Hear me?!"

Raj hurriedly: "Heard, heard, leave immediately, leave immediately!"

The sound of police sirens came from afar.

The group of perpetrators scattered instantly, drilling into the tenement buildings one by one, leaving only the messy van and the figures of four Indians.

PTU car arrived,

Li Yongsen and others got out of the car,

Li Yongsen looked around, hands on hips, full of righteousness: "What happened?"

Raj hurriedly said: "Nothing nothing, we fought ourselves."

Li Yongsen: "Sure nothing?"

Raj, Amir Khan and others hurriedly said: "Nothing, really nothing......"

Li Yongsen nodded seriously, waving his hand: "Go~~~"

PTU car drove away.

Amir Khan and the three cursed~~~

1 hour later,

Kai Tak Airport,

Amir Khan and the three wrapped in blood-stained bandages boarded the plane.

November 1st,

Wah Kong · Temporary Material Laboratory.

The high-temperature furnace built up, at this time the furnace fire was red.

The thermometer indicated the temperature had reached 1200C.

On the 29th,

The first batch of precious rare earth was sent to Hong Kong by plane, and then started proportioning, testing again and again, to see if better steel could be smelted.

10 times......

40 times......

70 times......

100 times......

Tried many proportions and methods, but none succeeded.

The best one, Brinell hardness, tensile strength, impact toughness, the gap was also -22%, -35%, -38%, and the grain size rating only reached level 7.

"The 101st test......"

Chief Engineer Liu looked at Li Jiacheng, these few days Li Jiacheng had been helping, diligent and conscientious, learning speed was fast, gaining Chief Engineer Liu's favor.

Then he thought of Director Guan Zu's words, and had an idea.

How about......

Let Li Jiacheng try?

"Jiacheng, how about you try......"

"Me? Really?"

"You try it!"

Everyone looked over one after another, seeing Chief Engineer Liu say this, they couldn't refute.

Li Jiacheng carefully analyzed the proportion of the previous 100 tests, and finally selected two elements, Terbium (Tb) + Dysprosium (Dy), and then gave a ratio.

"Just this one......"

"Good......"

Everyone started to operate......

"Wait...... add Yttrium (Y), Cobalt (Co) too, the specific amount is......"

Added once more......

Soon, the molten steel melted and mixed, electromagnetic stirring, poured into the crucible to cool into a solid......

Put into the high-temperature furnace again, re-calcined.

Finally, Wang Gong put on asbestos gloves, and in the eyes of everyone, used iron tongs to clamp out a test steel ingot that was burned red from the high-temperature furnace.

With a "hiss" sound, it was immersed in the cooling water tank, and then continued tempering to improve hardness and toughness.

Then the punching machine hammered......

"*Dang dang dang dang*~~~~~"

Fortunately, this place was relatively remote, so it wouldn't disturb other residents in the village.

Finally, a piece of crude steel came out.

Everyone took it for testing.

Expectations weren't very high.

Testing *ing*......

Soon, preliminary results came out.

Compared with Soviet supply ship No. 4 steel,

Brinell hardness (HB) +16%

Tensile strength (MPa) +23%

Impact toughness (J/cm) +18%

Grain size rating reached——level 12!

Actually stronger than Soviet steel by a large margin!

All engineers were stunned.

Full of question marks!

Looking at Li Jiacheng,

Not brother, you are for real?
