Great Power Industry: You're a private company building an aircraft carrier?
Chapter 4, The Giant Skyrocket
Sparks began to appear at one end of the steel pipe. Qin Chuan cut in more than ten centimeters, then rotated the steel pipe ninety degrees and continued cutting with the saw.
Therefore, a cross-shaped opening was cut into the end of the steel pipe.
Next, Qin Chuan continued cutting beside the opening, cutting off eight corners inward.
The originally flat steel pipe was turned into four large serrations at one end!
"Xiao Chuan, what are you doing?" Everyone was very curious.
For a time, street thugs liked to use steel pipes as weapons. One end was cut at an angle, making it very sharp and able to pierce a person's body. The hollow pipe could also be used to bleed people out, which was quite perverse.
Some thugs even whittle one end into this serrated shape, making it look even more ferocious.
However, those were all made of 6-point tubing, which was easy to handle, but this one is thick and long, almost like a spear.
Qin Jianguo suddenly realized something, and his face darkened: "Xiao Chuan, are you planning to give this to your cronies?"
"Of course not. Even if they did, do you think they could use all the steel pipes in our factory? Dad, just you wait and see!"
Qin Chuan became busy again.
"Okay, finally one is done." Qin Chuan said, looking around: "I still need to find a steel plate and cut four trapezoids."
Four more trapezoids? What's that for?
Everyone was completely baffled, having no idea what Qin Chuan was up to.
The ear-piercing sound of the cutting machine rang out, and four trapezoids were cut out.
Qin Chuan held it up to the end of the steel pipe and compared the size. It was about the same. It seemed that his skills hadn't been wasted.
After starting his career, Qin Chuan has done many jobs. Not to mention these simple tools, he can even handle CNC machine tools.
"Xiao Chuan, what exactly are you trying to do?"
"Everyone will find out soon," Qin Chuan said. "Next, I need a sledgehammer and a welding machine."
No one knew what Qin Chuan was up to, but they all had a feeling that what he was going to do was definitely not simple!
Boom!
Qin Chuan began smashing the front end of the steel pipe, which had just been cut into four serrations, while muttering incantations.
"Eighty! Eighty! Eighty!"
The four saw teeth were bent and pressed tightly together.
As a result, one end of the steel pipe was closed, turning into a pointed cone shape.
"All right!"
Qin Chuan threw away the sledgehammer and picked up the welding torch.
When he welded the first trapezoidal steel plate to the other end of the steel pipe and gestured with it, some people had already noticed it.
"Xiao Chuan, are you building a rocket?"
It's pointed at the front and has four trapezoidal tail fins at the back. It's long and slender. Isn't this just a rocket?
However, this is far too rough!
This thing can fly? And even if it did, how accurate would it be?
and many more!
As if he had just thought of something, Qin Jianguo's body suddenly trembled: "Xiao Chuan, we can't do anything illegal or criminal!"
"What illegal or criminal activity, Dad? How could a small steel mill like ours manufacture weapons?"
"What I made is just a larger version of a firework! And I'm going to sell it overseas! Look, with this modification, this firework can sell for at least fifty dollars each."
The price offered by the Indians was three hundred US dollars per ton. This modified firecracker weighed only about twenty kilograms, which would be about six US dollars. But Qin Chuan wanted to sell it for fifty US dollars!
Qin Chuan skillfully poked the joint between the tail fin and the steel pipe with a welding rod, successfully starting a fire. Then he turned his head to the side. It was a quick and easy task, without even needing to wear goggles.
He welded so casually that a beautiful fish-scale pattern appeared in the sparks of the electric arc.
Everyone's eyes widened: you can learn to use a cutting machine just by looking at it, but this welding skill requires three to five years of practice to reach this level!
Even if Qin Chuan is so smart that he can learn without a teacher, he still needs to practice, right?
He idles away his days, when has he ever practiced?
Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Qin Chuan quickly welded the four tail fins at the back and then welded the seams of the four serrated edges at the front.
A gigantic rocket appeared before everyone's eyes!
It is two meters long and 11 centimeters in diameter, pointed at the front and upturned at the back.
This thing looks incredibly powerful!
In later generations, this thing became the famous Qassam rocket, one of the four great rockets.
It is simple in construction, easy to use, and most importantly, cheap, allowing for mass production.
How can fertilizer be produced without steel pipes?
Before his rebirth, a foreign boss came here to buy fertilizer, which he could only use to make explosives. Qin Chuan went to his door to sell him firecrackers, and the other party would definitely be tempted!
"Dad, whether our Laiyang Steel Plant can survive depends on it. Now, I need to take it out and sell it to foreign bosses!"
Selling to foreigners?
Qin Jianguo frowned, somewhat hesitant: "You want to go abroad?"
These days, the procedures for going abroad are not as difficult to complete as they used to be, but actually going abroad is still not easy.
The key issue is that it costs money!
Given the factory's current financial situation, how can they possibly support Qin Chuan's trip abroad?
Besides, who knows if he really wants to work for the factory or just wants to travel abroad?
"We can't even leave the province, let alone go abroad. We're from the neighboring county, to the West Fertilizer Plant," Qin Chuan said.
"You're going to try and sell this pipe to fertilizer plants? What use would they have for it?"
"Yeah, Xiaochuan, didn't you say you wanted to sell it to foreigners?"
“Recently, some foreigners have been buying fertilizer there, and I just wanted to join in the fun.”
After Qin Chuan finished speaking, he walked towards his motorcycle.
If you want to run fast, you still have to kick it!
Attach this thing to your motorcycle, then ride around trying to sell it to foreigners!
It's not easy to tie a smooth steel pipe to a motorcycle. You can't tie it if you lay it straight in front and back, and you can tie it if you lay it horizontally, but it will affect other people and vehicles on the road.
Qin Jianguo looked at the motorcycle and pondered for a moment before saying, "Xiao Chuan, I'll carry it for you, and then you can sit on the back seat."
"Sigh, it's a pity our factory is having cash flow problems and we had to sell the 212. Otherwise, we'd at least have a car to drive. When we have more money in the future, we'll buy a Xiali!"
"Need not."
Qin Chuan attached the four tail wing pieces to the footrests on the back seat, and tied the upper part to the luggage rack next to the seat securely, with the steel pipes placed vertically, just like a vendor selling candied hawthorns.
The weight of just over 20 kilograms is easily manageable for a motorcycle.
"Dad, don't just sit there. Keep making these rockets the way I do it. Once I've lured some clients over, we need to produce a whole batch of these rockets and show them what we're capable of!"
After saying that, Qin Chuan got on his motorcycle, started it, and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The motorcycle drove away, but everyone remained skeptical.
"Director Qin, are we really going to do this?"
"Yeah, we don't even know what this thing is for! What if we make it and can't sell it?"
"Anyway, the steel pipes aren't going to sell, so let's do as this kid says and make a batch!" Qin Jianguo decided.
Qin Jianguo was puzzled. How could fertilizer, steel pipes, and firecrackers be connected?
But... I have to trust my son this once!
