Gao Zhendong knew very well that the washing machines on the Russian side were a bit hard to describe, and now we have some status in electronic products and are not afraid of competition.
In fact, he didn't know at all that this twin-tub washing machine was new to the whole world. As for whether the Japanese cried or not, what did it have to do with me, Grandpa Gao?
The comrades working in light industry were all delighted. The technology behind this thing was very simple. You didn't even need a factory in the early stages. You could just put together a small team to conduct trial-production, and then apply to set up a factory after the trial-production was successful. It was simply too cool.
Gao Zhendong intended to build Shu Province into a base for civilian electronic products in the west. Their conditions were too good. In fact, Gao Zhendong saw an electric fan that had been used for decades in his elders' home. It was still usable. It was called "Sanxia brand". There was no doubt that it was made near Shuangqing.
The top experts in this film are different. We can see from the technology that they never paid attention to that they were able to find a new path for the light industry in Sichuan Province.
"You must draw this picture carefully, without any mistakes!" the Sichuan provincial leader said to the comrades in the light industry units.
"With these things, the basic framework of your civilian electronic products will be set up. As for the other things, we will take our time. It will be difficult to handle too many of them. In addition, the export situation of electronic products is good now. You can propose to your superiors and the department that some things that require layout due to insufficient production capacity should also be taken a look and considered." Gao Zhendong said with a smile.
"Yes, we digest one and come back to you for another. As for the things you just mentioned, we will try our luck later." The leader of Shu Province smiled and said, "Well, let's place an order first."
As for the insufficient production capacity that Gao Zhendong mentioned, only they knew this information, and revealing just a little bit would allow him to gain the upper hand at work.
When Gao Zhendong heard this, he was speechless. These comrades are simply amazing.
"Okay, okay, hehe." Gao Zhendong was not too conceited, he just wanted to do his job better.
"It's your turn now, stop being so lazy." The comrade from Shu Province took advantage and was in a good mood. He joked with the comrades who were working on metallurgy and waiting on the side.
"That definitely won't happen, leader, don't worry, haha."
He was about to start reporting, but Gao Zhendong shook his hand: "You don't need to say anything here."
Ah? Chief Engineer Gao, you are from the 17th Ministry of Machinery, why are you favoring one over the other?
However, Gao Zhendong's next words made him feel relieved.
"The most urgent thing you need to do is one thing: the Red Cotton Iron Mine!"
Ah, it turns out that Chief Engineer Gao already had a plan for us. Look, our own people are different. The comrades from the metallurgical unit in Sichuan Province are full of pride.
"Chief Engineer Gao, although the Hongmian Iron Mine has a large reserve, it is just an ordinary steel plant. Is it so important?"
Gao Zhendong smiled and said, "You should know what kind of iron ore Hongmian Iron Mine belongs to, right?"
"Vanadium-titanium magnetite..."
"Right, so in my opinion, your task is to first make this special iron mine well."
Sichuan Province has the largest reserves of vanadium, titanium and lithium in the country. As of 2021, they account for 32%, and of the country respectively.
Lithium is a special thing, so there is no need to explain it in detail.
"Can you fix this iron mine?"
"In fact, it's not about making good use of the iron ore, but about making good use of the resources in the iron ore. Vanadium and titanium are both good things."
This is what makes the Hongmian Iron Mine special. Most of the things in this mine can be used.
"But Chief Engineer Gao, although titanium is good, it is difficult to process and the processing cost is very high. It is difficult to use in practice."
As a metallurgical professional who was brought to the capital by his superiors, he was naturally very knowledgeable in this area.
Titanium is a material with high strength, corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, abundant reserves, and little magnetism.
In addition to these advantages, this thing has a low specific gravity of only , which is a cliff-like drop compared to iron's .
It seems to be a perfect substitute for stainless steel in most situations, but in fact, its large-scale use will be pushed to the 21st century. In the 21st century, we will use this thing to build machine guns. Of course, the Russians used it to build submarines in the 20th century, which is another matter. The Russians have a more powerful imagination, which is unmatched by ordinary people.
The reason why it cannot be promoted is that this thing is difficult to process. The production cost is not that high, but the processing cost is very high. It is a typical product that can be made but not used.
"I know that titanium alloys have high hardness, good toughness, strong corrosion resistance, and poor thermal conductivity, which makes processing very difficult."
The problem with titanium is the opposite of that of aluminum, which was also not easy to turn because it was too soft and prone to sticking to the tool.
Titanium alloy has very good comprehensive performance. It has a high specific strength and is not easy to process. It can be forged, but forging is only the first step for many parts. Later, it needs turning, milling, and cutting, which is very troublesome. Compared with this thing, it is hard but has good toughness.
Simply put, it's impossible to chew.
The most outrageous thing is that this thing has poor thermal conductivity, which is why titanium alloy thermos is better than stainless steel thermos. However, poor thermal conductivity is not a good thing in mechanical processing. The accumulated heat cannot be taken away, and either the workpiece or the tool will be scrapped.
Even if I can chew it, it sticks to my teeth.
"So your most important task right now is to first improve the technology for refining titanium, at least to the stage of producing titanium sponge. As for the research and processing of titanium alloy materials, these are also the things you need to focus on, and strive to form a one-stop technological advantage chain for the production and processing of titanium materials." Gao Zhendong pointed out the direction for them.
Pure titanium does not have such good performance, it is titanium alloy that has good performance.
"Mr. Gao, to be honest, we are very confident in the extraction of titanium, but the research and processing of alloy materials is very troublesome. We don't have the strength to study this matter."
They were engaged in metallurgy. In fact, most of them were concentrated in metallurgy at the beginning. Processing was not within the consideration of the 17th Ministry of Machine Building.
In fact, until the 1980s and 1990s, our titanium processing technology was relatively general.
Why did it develop later? Guess which company had the best titanium processing technology before? Gao Zhendong certainly doesn't know the details, but he personally guessed that it had something to do with this.
When a whale falls, all things come to life. Who will live forever?
"You don't have to think about this for now. What you need to think about is to get enough titanium materials first. As for titanium alloy materials and processing, do it here first, and then transfer it over to lay a good foundation for you. The reason why I want you to at least make sponge titanium first is the most important reason. Without your support of sponge titanium, the subsequent titanium alloy material research and processing technology will be like a tree without roots. You can't rely entirely on imports."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Even with on-site processing and packaging and protection, the amount that needs to be transported will be much less.
Moreover, local processing can form an industrial chain locally and give full play to the advantages of clusters, which makes it much more competitive than going it alone.
There is no need to compete now, but what about in the future?
Gao Zhendong's words put the comrades in the metallurgical units of Sichuan Province at ease. Chief Engineer Gao is indeed just as the legend goes. Once he gets started on a thing, he will definitely pave the way for you in the early stages so that you can get started smoothly and keep up with the pace.
"Okay! Chief Engineer Gao, don't worry. We will definitely treat the comprehensive utilization of the Hongmian Iron Mine's mineral resources as a top priority for metallurgy."
Gao Zhendong felt relieved. It could be said that Hongmian Iron Mine was the place with the most concentrated titanium metal output in the country for quite a long time. As long as the research and production of titanium alloy materials, as well as titanium material processing were established in this place, it could be said that the titanium material sector would be fully revitalized.
Speaking of this, Gao Zhendong remembered something.
"I remember that you have lead and zinc mines in Shu Province, right?"
"Yes, not as much as in Caiyun, but it is also there, not too little." The comrade working in metallurgy confirmed it in his mind and said with certainty.
Gao Zhendong thought about it and turned to look at the leaders of Shu Province.
"Leader, there is something that may require your assistance."
"Just tell me." Unlike ordinary people who would add "Let me see if I can find a way" when doing things, the comrades from Shushan directly told Gao Zhendong to just tell him whatever he wanted. If it really couldn't be done, that was another matter, and everyone would understand.
"It just so happens that you just invited a comrade from the chemical industry to come over. This matter is related to the chemical industry."
"Call him up quickly." Shushan's comrade called an accompanying staff member.
After a while, the comrades working in the chemical industry came up.
"Hello, leaders."
"Today it's not me who is looking for you. It's Chief Engineer Gao who is looking for you. He has an important task." Although the comrades from Shu Province did not know why Gao Zhendong asked the comrades from the chemical industry to come here, his task was definitely important.
"Hello, Chief Engineer Gao."
Gao Zhendong was only well-known in a small circle in the chemical industry, and those were all relatively sensitive units, so other comrades didn’t know that he had some “small” things in the chemical industry. Even the urea steel, which was the gold medal auxiliary, was not known to most of the comrades in the chemical industry.
"That's right. I won't go into the details here today. I hope you can do some research. Have you ever come into contact with chelating resin? Has your Shu Province conducted any relevant research?"
Most of us today don’t know much about this: “We’ve never come into contact with it.”
"Do you know anything about amidoxime functional groups?"
"No!" He was even more confused and answered decisively.
The leaders of Shu Province nearby frowned as they listened. How could this comrade be so honest?
"It doesn't matter if you don't have them. Just take these two things back and find your comrades who are engaged in organic chemistry. If there are comrades who know the situation, please come back to me. If there are no comrades in Shu Province who know the situation... then please tell me." Shu Province is the closest and has a natural chemical foundation, so it is the best choice.
In fact, he didn't know at all that this twin-tub washing machine was new to the whole world. As for whether the Japanese cried or not, what did it have to do with me, Grandpa Gao?
The comrades working in light industry were all delighted. The technology behind this thing was very simple. You didn't even need a factory in the early stages.
