Chapter 766
When the cold wind blows from the north, the temperature drops sharply, and even the river begins to freeze, Zhao Yu’s blast furnace is finally built.
The blast furnace stands on the bank of the waterwheel at the drop of the water channel in the backyard, and a blower is connected between the waterwheel and the waterwheel. This blast furnace is not big, not more than 20 feet high. The inside and outside are all forged by Zhao Yu's rune steel with magic power.
The steelmaking blast furnace in modern space-time after 2,000 years must have refractory bricks inside, but Zhao Yu does not.
With the magical power of talisman, it replaced many necessary structures, making this blast furnace very strange.
Not only is there no need for refractory bricks, but also no coke.
And extremely efficient.
According to Zhao Yu’s estimation, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, this blast furnace can produce high-hardness, high-toughness, wear-resistant and corrosion-resistant steel every day. The minimum can reach five tons, and the maximum may exceed ten tons. .
Actually, the steel formula developed by Zhao Yu is probably different from all kinds of steel in modern time and space. It seems to be the product of the fusion of many different steel advantages. Very practical.
Of course, this is nothing. He Zhao Yu is a monk after all, and now he has magic power. If there is material, even magic artifacts can be refined, not to mention such mundane steel. His formula is a steel formula suitable for mortals based on the knowledge of modern time-space related books, combined with some methods of artifact refining.
In the Tianyan Mirror illusion, although many of them are false, there are also many truths. Hard to tell real from unreal, Zhao Yu has gradually completed this process in various experiments.
The artifact refining method in the illusion, useful, has been refined by him.
There is also Talisman Art.
At present, this blast furnace can probably be called the mother furnace. When Zhao Yu made this blast furnace, he racked his brains and used the immortal dao method contained in the forging method of this blast furnace, one after another Disassemble, to obtain a manufacturing process suitable for mortals.
In other words, using his Disassemble process, as long as there are enough materials, ordinary craftsmen can create a blast furnace with the same function. Maybe the efficiency will be much worse, but it can make steel of the same quality. .
The purpose of Zhao Yu is not to create a magic artifact blast furnace. magic artifact this thing, only suitable for monks. Unless many people in each generation of this world can become monks, otherwise, the magic artifact refining method is out of print. After he leaves, it will be deserted. But this is almost impossible. Rooted creatures are really few heinous.
His purpose is to disassemble the almost immortal dao method and make it suitable for mortals. Only in this way can we achieve the effect of long-lasting and drastically affecting time and space.
The blast furnace manufacturing process produced by Zhao Yu Disassemble, the blast furnace manufactured must be different from the master furnace. Because Talisman Art will not be used. Therefore, there are other alternatives such as refractory bricks. To achieve the efficiency of this mother furnace for a blast furnace manufactured by ordinary processes, the volume must be increased by at least five times.
In all aspects, although it has been degraded, it is already good enough.
Zhao Yu looked at the blast furnace triumphantly, and asked Wang Tian, "How much is iron ore, limestone and coal?"
Carbon, it’s coal. . The various Xia people began to exploit coal on a large scale as early as the Western Han Dynasty. So this thing about carbon coal does not make people feel strange. Wei Zhen’s Trading Company has continuously transported the materials on the silk cloth that Zhao Yu had given Wei Zhen during this period of time, which made Wang Tian had to build another large warehouse to store it.
"A lot." Wang Tian said: "In the past month or so, the quantity of various materials delivered by Wei Family Trading Company has increased dramatically. The previous warehouse is almost out of stock. Iron ore has exceeded Three 100,000 catties, carbon coal is not bad..."
"Three 100,000 catties...not enough." Zhao Yu thought intently, and said, "Let Wei Zhen increase large-scale mining. Anyway, Liulihe Soap is worth a lot of money, money is useless there, it's only useful if you use it out."
Three hundred thousand kilograms of iron ore is only three hundred tons by calculation, which is too little. Even in rich ore, a few hundred tons of iron ore can't produce much steel essence. This mother furnace alone can be quickly digested. Once more blast furnaces are built in the future, not to mention a few 100,000 kilograms, even hundreds of millions and billions of dollars will not be enough to consume.
"Here."
Wang Tian immediately responded and noted in the heart.
"The craftsmen want to be grouped." Zhao Yu's words were jumpy, but Wang Tian was used to it.
Zhao Yu said: "On the cement kiln, just leave a few skilled craftsmen for guidance. It counts as a group. A group of waterwheels, so that they don’t stick to my finished products. If they can develop more There are many new functions and rewards. Ten people in the waterwheel group are enough, and the rest are allocated to the steel group. In the next few days, I will teach them the process and method of manufacturing this steelmaking blast furnace.. ."
Wang Tian was worried about hearing this: "My boss, I don't know what Grand Dao theory is, but the essence of steel is precious, and the smelting method is too important to teach others easily. "
Zhao Yu laughed and waved his hand: "It's okay. I believe them."
Zhao Yu doesn't believe in them, but in himself. He didn't believe it, who would dare to mess around. Otherwise, the world is so big that there is no place for him.
To provoke Zhao Yu is more terrifying than to provoke Cao Mengde.
"You usually pay more attention to it, if you really have a different mind, you can find it early."
"Here."
See Zhao Yu's thoughts It was decided, Wang Tian didn't say much anymore.
"By the way, are the potatoes harvested?"
Zhao Yu asked suddenly.
"Received!" Speaking of this, Wang Tian immediately burst into laughter: "My boss, don't you know! The output of potatoes scared people! At that time, many farmers were dizzy... "
Zhao Yu thought about it for a while, it seemed to be true. But at that time he was immersed in blast furnace manufacturing, and it seemed that Wang Tian had come to report.
"How much is it?"
"The yield is more than 200 shi!" Wang Tian took a deep breath. Although it has been many days, he talked about it. The shock can't be concealed: "Two hundred stones, my boss! If potatoes can be promoted, there will be countless people!" Qianjin, it did not exceed Zhao Yu's expectations. But in this era, it can turn people up to three times. Even if it is a good year and the weather is good, the grain yield per mu is only two or three shi, 200 shi, that is a hundred times!
Zhao Yu faintly nodded: "Okay. Don't eat these potatoes if you don't want to eat them, keep them. They are planted in the new year and planted... By the way, how much land has been enclosed?"
There are many things that Zhao Yu ignored because of being immersed in the process of manufacturing the blast furnace. He didn't even know.
"Old Zhang has encircled more than 30,000 acres of land. Only a few thousand acres were bought with money, and the rest are unowned wasteland. Before the start of the new year, more than 50,000 acres of land must not be a problem. "
"Okay." Zhao Yu nodded: "Before planting seeds in the beginning of the year, remember to do a good job of land distribution."
Zhao Yu paused: "There are many things in Zhuangzi, I I don’t care. You and Zhang Wang must make an all-out effort, and you can’t be sloppy, otherwise..."
Zhao Yu said peaceful, but when Wang Tian heard it, his expression was straightforward and he said: " You are serious. Zhang Wang and I were desperate people. It is only with the favor of our boss. If we don’t make an all-out effort, Celestial will kill together!"
Zhao Yu nodded: "That’s good ."
The super harvest of potatoes really made everyone in the village happy until the beginning of the new year.
People’s joy from the heart does not need words to describe it.
In such an era, during wars and wars, having such a high-yield food is of vital importance to any commoners in the world.
Although Zhao Yu doesn't show up often, he is already a Divine Immortal in the village as a commoners in mind.
The New Year’s Eve has come. During this time, Zhao Yu has more free time besides instructing craftsmen in the methods of making blast furnaces and smelting steel. During this period, the guard of Zhao Family Zhuang led by Dian Wei also got a cultivation art passed down by Zhao Yu.
Before coming to this time and space, Zhao Yu created several cultivation art in order to practice his hands. And what is taught to them is one of the profound skills in the Five Elements Quan Jing.
But Dianwei is different after all, Zhao Yu passed him the five elements fist.
After a few days of advice, I just let it go and let Dian Wei handle it all. If Dianwei doesn't understand something, just ask him again.
In this era, the Spring Festival has not yet become the biggest festival.
The first holiday after the opening of the new year is the Spring Festival, which is the fifteenth of the first lunar month.
Zhao Yu made a rare appearance on this day and had a happy day with the commoners of the village.
Furthermore, at the suggestion of Master Baili and the others, hosted the Ayesha event on this day.
Bailishi is in charge of Natural Residence. In the past six months, the business of Natural Residence has become more and more prosperous. Coupled with the more abundant output of the village, he has begun to open branches in the surrounding counties. Of course, this is Zhao Yu's suggestion. Normally, the teacher of Baili rarely returns to the village, but during the festival, he must come back.
The Ayesha activities of various Xia people are very solemn. It expresses the natural awe of the various Xia nations towards Heaven and Earth. That is to say, this year, the big man has fallen, otherwise every spring, the emperor will preside over Ayesha. Ayesha Spring God, Ayesha Hebo, Ayesha Rain Master and so on. These Gods are all incarnations of nature. Ayesha contains the ardent expectations of various Xia nations for the new year.
The country has a big festival, and there is also Ayesha in the folk village. Here is an important responsibility for the respected elders in the township. The ancestor of Ayesha, Sacrificial Spiritual God, was to soothe people's hearts.
The so-called national major event is to worship the army.
Zhao Yu does not despise this. Zhao Yu believes that Ayesha's natural God, the ancestor of Ayesha, is the awe of Heaven and Earth and the nostalgia for the ancestors overcome all obstacles on the way, and is an indispensable part of humanity. On the contrary, 2,000 years later, people think that they have everything Ruler and no longer awe.
Ayesha will not talk about it. The old man will tell Zhao Yu about the specific steps. Zhao Yu one after another from it.
After the holiday, I started to be busy again.
Especially after the Qingming Festival, farming has entered a busy stage. Before and after Qingming, plant melons and beans.
In the era of war and chaos, people will deeply appreciate the difficulty of peace. So, I am busy, but I am happy in my heart.
And Zhao Yu, is more and more leisurely.
It's not that he doesn't have more things to do, he has a lot of ideas, but he doesn't have the time to do it.
On this day, in the study room in Zhuangzi, Cao Chun and Xiahou Dun are sitting opposite Zhao Yu.
