Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

"Of course, there is another fundamental solution, which is to explore new clean, efficient and renewable energy sources to completely replace fossil fuels. However, this technology is still far away and requires long-term research and exploration..."

Chu Ze explained incessantly, and the miners were impressed by his profound knowledge and nodded in agreement.

At this time, Zhang Peng and Master Qian also came up with a look of unsatisfied desire.

"Your Majesty is right." Master Qian pushed his tattered miner's hat and said solemnly, "We in Runing have hastily started industry and entrepreneurship, which is indeed a bit rough and crude. Now we only think about production, but ignore environmental protection. Fortunately, Your Majesty has a keen eye and pointed out the problem, which gives us a direction for further improvement."

At this point, he turned to look at Zhang Peng: "Engineer Zhang, do you have any advice?"

Zhang Peng thought silently for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I remember! In Fengyang, the prince explained the clean combustion technology of coal. I took some notes at that time, maybe I can learn from it!"

"What? Is there really such a technology?" The miners nearby were all excited when they heard it. Even the old miner hurriedly asked, "Master Zhang, please tell us about it!"

Zhang Peng did not hesitate, and immediately took out his notebook and told the story:
"The prince said that although coal is highly polluting, if it is modified based on combustion, the combustion efficiency can be improved and pollution can be reduced. One of the keys is to increase the calorific value of coal."

"Because the higher the calorific value of coal, the more complete the combustion, there will be no unburned residue, which naturally reduces the emission of waste residue and pollutants."

"How do we increase the calorific value? According to the prince, there are two ways: one is to add more coal washing processes when selecting coal to remove as much gangue and other impurities as possible; the other is to compress the coal into sticks or balls so that it can make full use of the air when burning and achieve the maximum heat generation efficiency."

Zhang Peng gritted his teeth and said proudly: "I just wrote down everything! Don't worry, I will definitely be able to learn from the prince and improve the coal quality in Runing, so that our industry can become a green industry!"

His words were eloquent, steady and full of vigor, which really made people worry about this scientific and technological worker.

"What do you think?" Zhang Peng looked around: "What are we waiting for? Let's act now!"

"Great, great! Engineer Zhang is absolutely right!" When the miners around heard this, they were all attracted by this new thing and immediately became agitated.

"Your Majesty, you must personally teach us your precious skills!"

"We must learn from this and find an environmentally friendly way out for Runing's industry!"

“Let green industries flourish in the Central Plains!”

……

Seeing everyone's ambition, Chu Ze couldn't help but smile. No matter how poor the technological invention is, as long as the workers have the determination to learn and improve, they are already halfway to success.

"Okay!" He raised his voice and agreed loudly: "From today on, we will take this as our goal, continue to reform, continue to explore, and continue to write a new chapter in green industry!"

People's shouts rose up, and the peaceful scene was extremely moving.

Chu Ze looked at this scene, his heart filled with joy. He had worked so hard for so many years, diligently spreading new knowledge from the West, just to make the Ming Dynasty peaceful and prosperous, and the people live a prosperous and healthy life.

Today, this great goal has taken shape. Soon, it will be truly realized!

Just as he was enjoying the scene, he heard the sound of hurried horse hooves. It turned out to be Master Qian's apprentice Liu Biao, who was riding a horse and galloping towards him, looking excited.

"Master Qian, it's bad! There's a big trouble in the factory!" Liu Biao blurted out, his face full of panic.

"What's going on?" Master Qian was shocked and asked quickly.

"Just now, our newly cast molten steel suddenly gushed out when it was being poured outside, and some workers were splashed..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of crying and howling from the factory, mixed with screams and angry roars. Master Qian's face turned pale, and he quickly asked Liu Biao to lead the way, and they hurried over.

On the way, they met several workers carrying a wounded companion, and heard a faint groan. It turned out that the man was injured by the gushing molten steel. "Come on! Quickly send the injured companion to the hospital for treatment!" Chu Ze saw this scene and hurriedly ordered his confidants.

"Yes!" Zhao Si responded and immediately ordered people to carry the injured away.

When we arrived at the site of the molten steel gushing, we saw a deathly silence. All the workers were keeping a distance, fearing that they would be affected by the scalding molten steel.

"What should we do?" Several foreman workers looked confused, obviously stumped by this sudden accident.

Seeing this, Master Qian gritted his teeth, rushed forward quickly, grabbed a steel chisel next to a hole and held it tightly.

"Someone come here! Hurry up and heat it with a torch, and punch small holes while it's hot, so that the molten steel can flow out slowly!"

Fortunately, this sudden accident occurred early, and the molten steel just began to overflow, and the huge pressure generated was not enough to cause a large-scale eruption.

Several workers immediately understood and quickly ignited the steel chisel with torches, then struck it with heavy hammers. Soon, a small hole was chiseled out and white-hot molten steel slowly flowed out.

Liu Biao and others hurriedly cleaned out the slag in front of the furnace, and order was immediately restored in the factory.

Seeing this scene, Chu Ze finally relaxed after a long period of anxiety. It turned out that the mechanical equipment had broken down, and the workers did not remain calm in the face of danger. They dealt with it decisively and avoided greater casualties.

This kind of adaptability and decisiveness is exactly what the factory needs.

The commotion at the scene gradually subsided. Master Qian and the foreman gathered together, discussing everything that had happened.

"This time it was a small overflow of molten steel that caused such a big crisis. It shows that there are still too many loopholes in our steel industry." Master Qian said solemnly.

"In terms of professional skills and operating procedures, everyone obviously needs more in-depth research and improvement!" A foreman sighed and said helplessly.

"Why do we say that no one is without fault? Now we must look around and find the culprit who caused this accident!" Liu Biao suggested.

Everyone immediately paced back and forth at the scene and checked it carefully.

Soon, the eyes were fixed on the sampling car loaded with steel. The car was full of molten steel crucibles, which were very heavy and unsafe.

"Oh my god! This broken crucible is useless!" Liu Biao shouted exaggeratedly.

Looking at the old steel crucible, Master Qian's face turned pale. As the person in charge of the factory, today's accident was undoubtedly his biggest dereliction of duty.

"It was all because of my laxity that I failed to eliminate these obsolete equipment in time, which led to this tragedy!" Master Qian regretted it deeply, his face full of self-blame.

He turned around and said to Liu Biao and other workers in a serious tone: "From today on, we must thoroughly overhaul all the equipment in the factory. Only by ensuring that there are no mistakes can we make steel safely!"

"Yes!" Liu Biao and the workers shouted with great enthusiasm, "Master Qian, rest assured, we will definitely accomplish this important task for you!"

Seeing his subordinates so determined, Master Qian finally felt relieved. He was about to open his mouth to give some instructions when a familiar voice came from behind him:

"Wait a minute, fellow workers. Technical strength alone is far from enough. Only by combining it with advanced scientific theories can we truly improve steelmaking."

It turned out to be Chu Ze who came over and spoke to everyone in a friendly manner.

"Where did you get this from, Your Majesty?" Master Qian asked in surprise. (End of this chapter)
