Of course, it's not just local businessmen like Udinell who are raving about large-scale infrastructure.

If there is the most industrial atmosphere in Lviv, it is the steel factory. The steel factory, which covers an area of ​​several square kilometers, has tens of thousands of workers, and its annual steel production accounts for more than 70% of the national output.

Around the steel plant, there are the top heavy machinery factories in the country. In particular, the No. 1 Heavy Machinery Manufacturing Plant in Romania is the most outstanding. This plant is also the only company in Romania that can produce tens of thousands of tons of free forging hydraulic presses and die forging hydraulic presses. At the same time, it also produces hundreds of tons of large-scale technical equipment such as metallurgy, mining, energy, transportation, automobiles, and petrochemicals.

It can be said that the Eastern Galicia region, where Lviv is located, has become an indispensable heavy industry base in Romania. The results of the previous development of the region are being continuously fed back to enterprises across the country, so that they can get rid of the situation of relying on imported equipment.

The country's large-scale infrastructure construction this time naturally requires the participation of two companies. Bridges and tunnels use a lot of steel, and generator sets always need factories that can make them, but that's just a small part of it. But it does not mean that it is not important, so this time in order to ensure the construction of the country, the Minister of Industry Bardovin personally visited Lviv, and these two factories are also one of the key points of the inspection.

Beside the blast furnace of the steel plant, Bardovin watched the workers work beside the steel furnace with great interest under the hot temperature. At this time, it was time for the furnace to be released. I saw the workers operating it, and the red molten steel was poured out of the huge steel-making furnace. The molten steel scattered in all directions filled the stove with sparks under the prepared mold specifications. And the conveyor belt takes these hot molten steel through the cold water, and the scene of white smoke is by no means a fairyland.

The orderly work scene of the workers watched Bardovin nod secretly, which made him unable to help but admire. "It's the most beautiful sight in industry."

The iron and steel industry can be said to be the foundation of the current industry. Without steel, there would be no industry. Whether it is light industry or heavy industry, steel is needed as a basic support. This is also one of the reasons why it is necessary to talk about steel output every time when describing the national strength of various countries in this era. There are other industries only if there is a steel industry. If the blood of industry is oil, then the bone of industry is steel.

Bardovin, who knows all of this, will praise when watching the steel come out of the furnace.

"It's all state support, workers' efforts."

Although Bardovin only praised the splendor of steelmaking, Middles, the head of the plant, also cautiously said.

He couldn't help but be careful, despite Bardovin's unremarkable presence in the political arena, but the Ministry of Industry he manages is the immediate boss of these enterprises.

Although the heads of key enterprises like Middles cannot be directly appointed or removed, they still have a huge home-field advantage in the power of appointment and removal. At present, how many heads of state-owned enterprises in Romania cannot be directly appointed or dismissed by the Minister of Industry?

For Middles' cautiousness, Bardovin shook his head and warned. "You don't have to be so modest, we can all see what you paid in the steel plant. I remember that last year you overfulfilled the assigned task. The output of 2.18 million tons surprised me and the Prime Minister."

Bardovin's words were simply praising his performance last year, and Middles, who was extremely proud of the matter, naturally answered very modestly. "This is all due to the steel mills, and the mines have also made great efforts for this. Otherwise, the steel mills would have achieved such a high output."

Middles has done everything, not only the steel mills have thanked them, but also those who are responsible for mining raw materials.

Bardovin listened to his words and asked with a smile. "How is the task completed this year?"

"97% of the steel task of 2 million tons has been completed. It is expected that the task assigned by the Ministry will be completed in the next few days. This year's steel output will not be higher than that at the end of last year."

Middles' words made Bardovin very happy, "Very well, under your leadership, the steel plant will definitely have a big breakthrough. However, the scale needs to be improved, and the current demand for armor steel in the navy needs to be improved. Larger, which requires you to increase the research on Duo steel. We will strive to get rid of the situation of relying on German technology as soon as possible, so that Romanian steel technology can reach a new level.”

Bardovin has been quiet in politics for many years, and words of praise and encouragement come when he opens his mouth. After he finished speaking, he patted Middles on the shoulder, signaling himself to be optimistic about him.

And Bardovin's praise also made others cast envious eyes on him. If eyes can kill, then Middles is already riddled with holes.

And Middles took the opportunity to continue talking. "Your Excellency, our steel plant has invested a lot in technology at present. If you are interested, I can take you to the technical department to see where new types of steel are being researched."

Bardovin was pleasantly surprised by Middles' words, and he replied with great interest.

"Oh, yes. Then lead the way."

"this way please."

...

In the middle of the night, Bardovin, who had been inspecting for a day, was preparing to rest. Today's market results make him very satisfied, not only seeing the scale effect of steelmaking in the steel plant, but also the tireless research spirit of the steel plant on new technologies. Although there is no result yet, but in the explanation of the factory director Middles, he also has a preliminary understanding of this. Moreover, the expenditure of the steel plant on the technical department can also be seen and felt. Not only the latest equipment, but also the top staffing, there are R\u0026D personnel from Germany, and there are talents cultivated by Romania itself, everything is so well organized.

Of course, he not only visited the steel factory today, but also visited several surrounding heavy machinery factories. Especially in the first machinery factory, hundreds of tons of integral steel are artificially made into the desired specifications like a dough under the action of a giant hydraulic press. All this makes Bardovin feel that Romania is not what it used to be. Although there are small twists and turns, everything is developing and growing in an orderly manner.

One day, Romania's industrial prowess will surprise the world.

Bardovin believes this, because Romania's strength comes from everyone's contribution.

For what he saw and heard today, Bardovin recorded it. When he returns to Bucharest, he will be presented to the King and the Prime Minister.

Satisfied Bardovin needs to rest early, and he needs to inspect other companies tomorrow.
