On the eve of the anti-eagle movement: the country urgently called me back home!

Chapter 5



Anshan Iron and Steel Plant.

Founded in December 1948, it is the first large-scale steel joint venture and the earliest steel production base to be restored in China. It is known as the”cradle of China’s steel industry.”

Shipbuilding, national defense, automobiles, railways, home appliances… Anshan Iron and Steel products are widely used in many fields, and it will become the steel backbone of our country’s heavy weapons.

Today, Jiang Chen, Li Yunlong, Brigade Commander Chen and others came to Anshan Iron and Steel Plant.

They were received by the plant director Zhao Tiechi, engineer Sun Xuefei, and worker representative Lao Meng.

After a brief introduction, the two sides began to inspect Anshan Iron and Steel Plant.

Zhao Tiechi introduced:”At present, we have repaired three furnaces. Although there are sufficient raw materials, we still cannot meet the needs of the arsenal and daily steel!”

“How many furnaces are there in Anshan Iron and Steel Plant?”

“There are four furnaces. The largest one has not been found yet and is under repair. If all furnaces are put into operation, the production capacity can be doubled on the current basis.……”

Shen Feixue continued:”When the Guo party retreated, most of the blueprints and equipment were damaged. We had to work very hard to get Anshan up and running!”

“Now, only the fourth furnace has not been repaired.”

Jiang Chen:”I know Anshan is not easy… but this is not an excuse… we must repair the fourth furnace as soon as possible to increase production capacity.”

The demand for steel in the arsenal will only increase in the future.

Zhao Tiechi:”I think the current production capacity of Anshan is sufficient to meet the needs of society, and we are also working hard to repair the furnace!”

“The most critical thing is that our raw materials cannot keep up. Without ore, we cannot smelt iron at all.”

Jiang Chen:”Supply is sufficient because demand is low. With the construction of the country and the construction of weapons in the arsenal, your demand for steel will only increase!”

“You just need to increase production efforts, and I will solve the problem of raw materials!”

The guns and cannons produced by the arsenal now do not use much steel. When it comes to building airplanes, tanks, aircraft carriers and ships, can Anshan still supply them?

In addition to the increase in investment in national construction, pots and pans, bicycles, cars, railways, roads… all need steel.

At that time, it will be a test for Anshan Steel.

It can be said that the output of a steel product determines the strength of a country and is an important indicator for measuring a country’s comprehensive national strength.

Its importance is self-evident.

The worker representative Lao Meng stood up and said:”The No. 4 furnace was abandoned when the Kuomintang took over. Do you have any drawings now?”

Without a drawing, you have no idea what the structure inside is.

“In my experience, I think it is difficult to repair it, and even if it is repaired, it is not certain whether it can work.”

“Just because the Communist Party can’t do it doesn’t mean that we Communists can’t do it!” Jiang Chen was very curious:”Where is the fourth furnace? Take me to see it???””

“Okay, this way please?”

Led by Zhao Tiechi, Shen Feixue and others, Jiang Chen came to the fourth furnace.

Then, Jiang Chen began to inspect the furnace.

Lao Meng looked at Zhao Tiechi and asked in a low voice:”Director, who is this young man!”

“Can he fix the No. 4 furnace?”

As a witness of the glorious history of Anshan Iron and Steel from the time of Zhang Dashuai to the reign of the Kuomintang, Lao Meng has witnessed the glorious history of Anshan Iron and Steel.

The No. 4 furnace has never been opened since it was closed by Young Marshal Zhang to prevent the Japanese from using it.

Can this young man in front of him do it?

Zhao Tiechi:”I don’t know. He is an overseas student sent by the Central Committee. He seems to have some ability. Lao Meng, what do you think the chances are that he can fix it?”

Hear about overseas students?

Lao Meng lost interest instantly:”It’s hard to say. I estimate it to be 10%. The experts in our factory have been studying it for a year and they haven’t figured it out… I don’t believe he can do it!”

Shen Feixue, an engineer in the factory, went on to say:”Lao Meng is right. Our engineering team has also studied this machine for a long time, but we haven’t found the problem yet!”

“The only way is to dismantle the shell and check the internal structure step by step!”

Zhao Tiechi:”Comrade Shen Feixue, I have said it before, it is not okay to dismantle it. Everything in Anshan Iron and Steel Plant is organized.……”

“It’s not that I don’t have the blueprints, I just had to do it……”

“Okay, stop talking.……”

Listening to the conversation between Zhao Tiechi, Shen Feixue and others, Li Yunlong and Brigade Commander Chen on the side could not help but frown.

They didn’t know how capable Jiang Chen was.

However, after checking, Jiang Chen said,”I found the problem!”

Everyone was surprised. Just a few glances? You found it?
