Eagle Sauce: The 055 destroyer was launched into the sea just after the founding of the country?

Inside the test site, several workers slowly approached, pushing carts filled with iron ore.

The sunlight shines through the tall glass windows onto the dark brown mineral particles, giving them a dull luster.

Seeing the ores, the middle-aged man who had come with President Lu and General Chen and had been silent all the time suddenly stood out from the crowd.

He frowned and looked at the mineral particles carefully.

Seeing this man's appearance, Fang Yu looked at General Chen curiously.

At this time, General Chen hurriedly introduced himself.

"Xiao Fang, let me introduce you."

"This is Professor Hao Weiguo, the metallurgical major of Yanjing University in Longguo."

Hearing this, Fang Yu stepped forward and extended his hand to Hao Weiguo to express his welcome.

Seeing this, Hao Weiguo hurriedly held Fang Yu's hand and shook it.

Then, he turned his gaze back to the ores that Fang Yu had brought up.

His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, and his fingers kept rubbing the rough mineral particles.

More than 20 years of steelmaking experience told him that the quality of this batch of raw materials was too low.

"Chief Engineer Fang," he turned to look at Fang Yu, confusion evident in his voice, "the iron content of these ores is probably less than 30%."

"And the impurity content is too high, so it's impossible to produce qualified steel using conventional methods."

"You're doing experiments, why do you need these waste materials?"

President Lu and General Chen also came over.

Mr. Lu picked up a piece of ore, frowning, "Xiao Fang, didn't you get the wrong raw material?"

"Ore of this grade is usually directly screened out."

"Yes, that's the ore we need."

Fang Yu's voice was full of confidence.

"Our biggest problem now is the shortage of high-quality ore."

"If we can make use of these low-grade ores, it will be a revolutionary breakthrough for our steel industry."

Hao Weiguo shook his head: "Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel."

"This grade of ore cannot be processed by either the open-hearth or converter process."

“Even if we force the material in, the quality of the final steel is difficult to guarantee.”

"Professor Hao is right," General Chen interrupted. "I remember the Russian experts also said that processing this low-grade ore consumes too much energy, and the cost outweighs the benefits."

"What you said is indeed correct, but that is all old news."

Hearing this, Fang Yu chuckled and then said proudly.

"The 'hydrogen flash furnace' I invented has a completely different process from previous ones."

"Just wait and see!"

"Hydrogen flash furnace?" Hao Weiguo frowned and repeated the unfamiliar name.

"What kind of new technology is this? I've been studying in Maoxiong for so many years and have never heard of it."

Fang Yu showed a confident smile on his face.

"This is a new technology I've researched this month."

"Traditional steelmaking takes several hours, but our hydrogen flash furnace only takes one minute."

"One minute?" General Chen couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Xiao Fang, you're kidding, aren't you?"

"Even with the most advanced converter method, it takes at least two hours. How can you make good steel in just one minute?"

"Don't worry, Chief," Fang Yu gestured to invite him in. "You'll know soon."

He turned to the control room and shouted, "Start injecting hydrogen!"

A buzzing sound was heard in the testing ground.

Several valves suddenly opened on the side of the small steelmaking furnace, and colorless hydrogen was sprayed in under high pressure.

At the same time, the electrode on top of the furnace emits a dazzling blue light.

"This is..." Hao Weiguo's eyes suddenly widened, "Wait, you are going to use hydrogen and electric arc..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden loud roar from the furnace.

Through the observation window, everyone saw a dazzling white light flashing inside the furnace, and the low-grade ores were rapidly melting under the ultra-high temperature.

"The temperature has reached three thousand degrees!"

The technician in the control room reported loudly.

“Impurities are decomposing rapidly!”

President Lu and General Chen took a few steps forward involuntarily.

They are all veteran revolutionaries, but at this moment they are as curious as children.

Hao Weiguo stared at the dashboard closely, afraid of missing any data.

“Hydrogen not only provides high temperature, but also helps reduce iron ore.”

Fang Yu explained while pointing at the stove.

"The plasma arc can instantly raise the temperature to a level that cannot be achieved by traditional methods."

"Combining the two, the steelmaking process can be completed in a very short time."

"Beep beep!" the alarm sounded.

"Put out the steel!" Fang Yu gave the order.

The outlet at the bottom of the furnace slowly opened, and a stream of silvery-white molten steel flowed out.

The light was so bright that everyone had to squint.

The entire process, from feeding to tapping, really took less than a minute.

“This…this is impossible!”

Hao Weiguo rushed to the sampling rack, scooped up a little molten steel with a special spoon, and quickly put it into the detector.

"Carbon content...impurity content..."

“Oh my god! These data…”

His hands were shaking. "The quality of this molten steel is better than what we can make from the best ore!"

“And the energy consumption is only one-third of traditional methods!”

President Lu and General Chen looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Although they don't understand the technical details, they understand what it means.

Dragon Country's steel industry will usher in a revolutionary change!

"Xiao Fang," Mr. Lu's voice trembled, "How on earth did you come up with such an idea in the past month?"

Fang Yu smiled without answering, but just pointed at the still flowing molten steel.

"Commander, do you think we'll still be short of steel if we use this furnace?"

General Chen slapped his thigh suddenly.

"Okay! Okay!"

"With this technology, let the Westerners keep the high-grade ores! We can still make the best steel with our own ores!"

Cheers rang out in the testing ground.

Everyone knew they were witnessing a historic moment.

This seemingly ordinary small furnace will completely change the industrial landscape of Longguo.

Fang Yu looked at the flowing molten steel, with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

In this era where steel represents strength, he has just opened the door for Dragon Country to become an industrial power...
