(Author's note: I'm super busy today, so I'll be late next time.)
Metal Expert: Has a keen intuition for all kinds of metals. Has an unparalleled talent in metal smelting. With him, you have a living metal textbook.
Attributes: Production efficiency + 15%, metal performance + 15%.
"Metal smelting?" Ye Qing looked at the introduction and muttered to himself. Metal smelting was a major subject. From ore processing, purification, smelting, and quenching, these were all small parts of this subject.
At the same time, almost all steel industries prioritized metal smelting as their research project.
For example, if the same type of iron ore was placed in front of different steel companies, the performance of the steel produced by them would be very different.
Some factories produced steel with impurities. The steel was brittle, had cracks, and was easy to rust. Some factories produced steel with hard texture, corrosion resistance, and high strength.
Of course, there would be differences in skills. Even a chef's dish would be rated one, two, three, and three.
However, looking at the introduction, the brand new Metal Expert was obviously a first-class chef. He was at the top of the pyramid.
Now, Ye Qing owned the Metal Smelting Center, which was a high-tech smelting facility. The performance of the steel produced by it was obviously better than the products on the market.
However, it had a single flaw in smelting technology. It could only use arc smelting technology.
It could not be used in powder metallurgy or electroslag remelting.
Powder metallurgy technology was very popular now. For example, oil bearing. During the manufacturing process, graphite was used. This non-metallic material could absorb lubricant. This allowed the bearing to continuously release lubricant during operation to reduce wear and tear.
This technology could not be achieved by ordinary smelting furnaces in a lifetime. However, it was a popular technology in powder metallurgy.
Ye Qing recruited four Metal Experts in one go. When the white mist dissipated, these monsters with iron-like skin and horns on their heads opened their fiery eyes.
"Hello, boss." The four Metal Experts' voices had a metallic taste.
Ye Qing nodded and walked up to them curiously. Then, he knocked on the black armor on their bodies.
"What is this armor for?"
"This is an insulating armor. It can protect us from high temperature."
"… …" The most common thing in metal smelting was high temperature. However, Ye Qing did not understand the insulation principle of this armor.
This was a special item. Other than the Master Metal Expert, no one else could use it, not even Ye Qing.
After studying it for a while, Ye Qing turned his attention back to the Black Tech blueprints.
A roulette wheel appeared on the screen. Ye Qing rubbed his hands and clicked on the draw button.
The wheel spun rapidly, and when the needle stopped, a blueprint named [Giant Strength Forging Machine] appeared in front of Ye Qing.
After reading the introduction, Ye Qing could not help but exclaim in relief. He was actually able to draw such a powerful heavy machine.
After the lucky draw, it turned into the blueprint purchasing interface. There were four black technology blueprints that could be purchased. They were [Super Hard Alloy Technology], [Flight Simulation Technology], [Full Motion Assembly Platform Technology], and [Strong Ionization Industrial Waste Water Treatment Technology].
These blueprints cost five thousand gold each. Ye Qing did not care about the price and bought them all.
Other technologies were very good, such as the full-motion assembly platform. Ye Qing thought that this guy was a top-notch mechanical hen, a killing machine for mass production.
There was also the [Strong Ionization Industrial Waste Water Treatment Technology]. This should be the upgraded version of the Black Tech Environmental Purifier in the Phase 3 Factory.
Ye Qing did not build the previous one because it was too complicated, but this one was very necessary.
Because the Dragon Creek Beach was surrounded by chemical waste water. Ye Qing had blocked the sewage pipes several times before, but the Dragon Creek Beach had been in the sea for many years and could not be disposed of.
Now, it seemed that there was hope for a beautiful Dragon Creek Beach.
As for the flight simulation technology, Ye Qing did not know what to say.
Traditional mechanical flight was using propellers and turbines, but this flight simulation was using mechanical wings to fly like a bird …
This was really high tech!
There were a few more civilian blueprints, and Ye Qing bought them all.
There were also many other changes. The M.P.C.V. had also been upgraded. It finally looked less like an excavator and more like a deep-sea submarine in sci-fi movies.
"Since I've completed the Phase 4 leveling up, now it's time to invest in the expansion of the factory!"
Now, he had the technology, equipment, and funds. The original area of the factory had been developed. If he wanted to expand the production capacity, he would have to develop a new factory, especially after he obtained the blueprints for the full-motion assembly platform.
Ye Qing decided to officially put the first phase of the expansion of the factory on the agenda.
The next day, Ye Qing came to the Blue Sky Building with a thick purchasing plan that had been rushed out the previous night.
In the huge office, the three hundred or so employees were all stunned when they saw Ye Qing.
They had not seen Mr. Ye for a few days. At this time, he looked a little dispirited and was not as handsome as before.
His hair was a little messy, and his eyes were still bloodshot from working overtime continuously.
This was unavoidable. Ye Qing had been doing production in the underground base for the past few days. He was almost traumatized from controlling the M.P.C.V. to punch holes in the M.P.C.V.
"Purchasing Department, follow me to the meeting room." Ye Qing waved the purchasing plan in his hand and signaled for them to continue working.
There were a total of ten employees in the purchasing department. The manager was called Qiu Yi. He was a very steady man in his thirties. When the ten of them came to the meeting room, Ye Qing signaled for them to sit down.
"Mr. Ye, what tasks do you want to assign?" Qiu Yi looked at Ye Qing's serious face and realized that the purchasing team might have encountered a big task.
"In the next week, your team may have to go on business trips all over the country." Ye Qing sent ten copies of the purchasing plan to them and kept one for himself. He pointed to the purchasing plan and said, "In the next period of time, our company's production area will be expanded in all directions."
"The expansion will require a huge amount of raw materials. I did a rough calculation. Just the concrete alone will require 300,000 tons."
"300,000 tons?" Qiu Yi almost shouted. What did 300,000 tons of concrete mean?
One cubic meter of concrete weighed about 2.4 tons. 300,000 tons of concrete, if spread out according to one meter thick, could cover the area of 17 football fields.
"Yes, the price of concrete is cheap now. 300,000 tons only costs 70-80 million." Ye Qing was very satisfied with their surprise, especially the surprised expressions of the junior girls in the purchasing department. This made Ye Qing very happy.
"For the materials listed in the purchasing plan, you can get them from the manufacturers. For example, for the copper cables, you can go on business trips to Baosheng, Hengtong, and other well-known domestic manufacturers to get them.
"On one hand, the quality is guaranteed. On the other hand, the price will be much lower.
"The same goes for the other materials. I have already marked out a few brands for you to choose from." Ye Qing touched the purchasing plan and said, "You can choose the cities you want to go to based on your preferences. After the price is agreed, report it to the manager and me. If I think the price is right, I will transfer the deposit to their company account.
"You have one week. After you come back, as long as you complete the task, I will give you a 10,000 yuan bonus."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ye Qing sensed ten burning eyes looking at him.
Ye Qing directly ignored the six men and met the eyes of the four junior girls. He smiled at them.
