The sickly beauty is super fierce in the wasteland world

Chapter 149 Reality and Games

After hearing his words, Lin Ye shook his head, "This is not easy."

"Before you entered the game, we thought it would take at least spring to start building brick kilns. We never thought that we could build indoors."

The old monster was praised, and immediately laughed, "Our first batch of bricks was used to build a steel factory. After all, there is no urgent need for other places, only the steel furnace is the most urgent."

"With steel, there's only so much we can do."

The rich second generation suddenly became interested, and exclaimed somewhat excitedly, "Can you still make steel?"

He said and looked at the old monster, "Can this also be done without any high-tech equipment?"

"Haven't you heard of indigenous steelmaking?" The old monster smiled and looked at him.

The rich second generation directly shook his head, "I've only heard of steel mills."

The old monster looked at him amusedly, and explained directly, "Indigenous steelmaking process is a traditional metallurgical process. It is the simple manual operation and natural resources, without modern equipment and technology, to make pig iron A method of transformation into steel. This process has an important place in the history of metallurgy."

"Its main raw materials are pig iron and pig iron ore. In our reality, there will be a lot of these raw materials."

"In the process of indigenous steelmaking, it is first necessary to burn pig iron ore into pig iron, and then put the pig iron into the furnace for refining. This process requires the use of auxiliary materials such as charcoal and lime, through continuous heating and cooling , and eventually convert pig iron into steel."

"Its advantages are simple, low cost, and suitable for the production environment at that time. However, it also has some disadvantages, such as low production efficiency, unstable quality, and environmental pollution. With the development of modern technology, local methods The steelmaking process has gradually been phased out.”

After hearing this, the rich second generation burst out laughing, "But this is just right for our current situation."

"But... we don't have pig iron ore, do we?"

"But we have scrap steel, the principle is the same." The old monster didn't know whether he was a teacher or a professor in reality, seeing the rich second generation's thirst for knowledge, he immediately wanted to give lectures.

"But although it sounds simple, what is needed is the main body of the blast furnace, feeding equipment, air supply equipment, injection equipment, gas processing equipment, slag iron processing equipment, all of which must be available."

"Usually, the construction investment of the auxiliary system is 4 to 5 times that of the main body of the blast furnace. In production, each system cooperates and restricts each other to form a continuous, large-scale high-temperature production process. After the blast furnace is opened, the entire system must be continuously For continuous production, except for planned maintenance and temporary shutdown due to special accidents, the furnace is generally not shut down until the end of the life of a generation."

As they walked, they came to the blast furnace that was still under construction. At this time, only one base could be seen.

Maybe it's because the technical content is too high, it's basically just players doing it here.

Sure enough, the old monster said directly, "These players have more or less contacted or checked the information of the blast furnace, so they understand a little bit."

"Actually, the main body of the blast furnace is a bit complicated."

"It must have a furnace system, a slag handling system, a feeding system, a dust removal system, and an air supply system."

"This cross-section is a circular iron-making shaft furnace. We use the scrap steel plates we picked up as the furnace shell, and the shell is lined with refractory bricks."

"It has the advantages of simple process, large production capacity, high labor production efficiency, and low energy consumption. During production, iron ore, coke, and flux for slagging are loaded from the top of the furnace. The preheated air is blown in by the surrounding air outlets."

"At high temperature, the carbon in the coke is burned with the oxygen blown into the air to generate carbon monoxide and hydrogen, and the oxygen in the iron ore is removed during the ascension process in the furnace, thereby reducing the iron. The molten iron is released from the iron hole. Unreduced impurities in iron ore and fluxes such as limestone are combined to form slag, which is discharged from the slag port. The gas generated is discharged from the furnace top, and after dust removal, it is used as fuel for hot blast stoves, heating furnaces, coke ovens, boilers, etc. Blast furnace smelting The main product is pig iron, and the by-products are blast furnace slag and blast furnace gas.”

Listening to his explanations, the rich second generation was really stunned, and didn't even know what expression to respond.

"How about... When I go offline, I will check again..."

Seeing his reaction, Lin Ye immediately burst out laughing, "Old monster, you better stop telling us such professional things, otherwise we won't understand."

The old monster suddenly felt a bit regretful, "Okay, then let's not talk about this."

"I thought about it before, we have so many new players and new residents now, it would be a bit too wasteful to cut down trees and build walls, and we don't need so many people, so it's meaningless to crowd there."

"Especially as residents, they need some stable jobs, whether it's a brick factory or ironmaking, it's a long-term job."

Lin Ye nodded, "There really aren't any jobs in the camp that can provide them with jobs, so this is... a good thing for you."

Lin Ye didn't expect that he just wanted to see what was going on here, but he didn't expect to be dragged by the old monster to talk so much.

She didn't understand anything, and I believe the rich second generation didn't understand anything.

And with her approval, she smiled at them and said, "When the next few batches of bricks come out, you can give priority to you if you want to build a house."

Lin Ye wasn't in a hurry to use these, but it was a blessing to see that the camp produced bricks so quickly.

Perhaps the rich second generation really felt all their surprises today, and they couldn't believe that they had researched all of these in such a place that was almost like a primitive society.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Ye suddenly laughed, "How about it, do you think this game is different from what you imagined?"

The rich second generation came back to his senses, and said with emotion, "This is not a sandbox game, it's like rebuilding it all over again."

"I saw your strategy in the group before, but I didn't expect it to be like this. After all, there was nothing before. Under such circumstances, you can build the entire camp..."

As he said that, he couldn't help shaking his head, "I thought it was just a game, but I didn't expect you to come for it."

"Don't talk about these things in the game, they can be done in the real world, right?"

Lin Ye nodded, "The principles he mentioned just now are all theories found in reality, and then put into practice in the game."

Upon hearing her words, the rich second generation was immediately delighted, "Does that mean that not only these things can be achieved?"
