This Bearing Steel had outstanding performance, but its smelting costs were quite high. For small-scale laboratory smelting,
the cost was at least five times the smelting price of imported Bearing Steel. Even after the production line was built, the price of mass-produced models would still be at least three times the smelting cost of imported Bearing Steel. However, that was not unacceptable.
Moreover, imported Bearing Steel could not possibly be sold at its smelting price. Its selling price was at least double its cost, and the price sold domestically was several times, or even dozens of times, the cost. In other words, the price of Zhang Yi's Bearing Steel was actually about the same as the domestic selling price of imported high-performance Bearing Steel.
"Good! This Bearing Steel's performance is truly remarkable. But now that we have developed our Bearing Steel, the next issue is how to mass-produce it and how to process it into bearings.
After all, if this Bearing Steel cannot be mass-produced or processed into bearings, then no matter how excellent its performance is, it will be useless to us, let alone help Seven Color Stone Mechanical Factory grow stronger.
"So what you need to do now is design a Bearing Steel smelting production line, as well as a machine that can process this Bearing Steel into the bearings we need." After reviewing all the data, Zhang Yi handed the papers containing the figures and formulas back to Xiao Hua, told her to store the materials properly, and only then spoke to everyone.
Since everyone present was a scholar hired by the system, Zhang Yi had no doubts whatsoever about their loyalty. He was addressing all of them with these words.
"Designing non-ferrous metal smelting is not difficult for us, but designing one from scratch would still
