Douluo's journey to becoming stronger begins with eating soul beast meat

Chapter 346 Quanjia Forging Iron Factory

Immediately, Quan Yi commanded the ship to return.

An hour later, the steamer returned at full speed and returned to Quanjia Pier.

Two hours, two hundred kilometers.

Quanyi also specifically checked the operation of the steam engine.

The properties of metal forged with the ultimate fire soul power far exceed Quan Yi's imagination.

Ordinary people will not even get hot if they touch the outer wall of the boiler with their hands.

Based on the current performance, Quan Yi judged that there should be no problems if the steam engine runs continuously for a week.

When the steamship docked intact at the berth inside the shipyard, many craftsmen who stayed on the spot stood up to greet it.

They looked expectantly at the people getting off the boat.

Most of the people here are shipwrights involved in the design of steamships.

Most of them are carpenter families affiliated with the Quan family.

When establishing Quanjia Shipyard, these carpenter families became the most suitable candidates.

It is precisely the addition of these outstanding carpenters that has allowed Quanjia Shipyard to develop rapidly to its current level.

They have always stayed here, waiting for Quan Yi and others.

However, unlike their expectations, the reaction of Quan Yi and others was too calm.

In fact, after getting off the ship, he immediately left the shipyard.

While they were wondering, Jiang Jun relayed the news that he had been dismissed.

As soon as these words came out, it was like a stone falling on a lake.

The shipwright, who originally wanted to celebrate, suddenly became panicked.

They obviously realized the seriousness of the matter.

Jiang Jun said at this time: "Fortunately, the young master is kind and shows mercy this time in view of our hard work in the past. However, we will definitely not be as lucky as we are today in the future.

I hope you can cherish this opportunity. "

After Jiang Jun said this, he turned and left.

He had done all he could to these people, and he had no time to talk to them now.

He had more important things to do, so he immediately went to handle the transfer of his position.

Then I started to study iron ships.

Through this incident, he clarified his position and understood his expertise.

Without talent for cultivation, he was able to gain a foothold in the Quan family solely by relying on his superior shipbuilding skills.

Without skills, he would be nothing to the Quan family.

The Quan family's respect for him made his heart a little unsettled.

Now, after being given a heads-up by Izumi, he has returned to his normal state of mind.

In this state of mind, he carefully looked through Quan Yi's design drawings again, and he discovered something he had not noticed before.

"It seems that I am still suitable for the position of researcher."

Jiang Jun secretly laughed at himself.

On the other side, Quan Yi and others arrived at the Quan Family Forge.

The location of the forge is not far from the shipyard.

However, its area is no less than that of a shipyard.

However, despite its large area, the forge was surrounded by guards with guns.

You know, the shipyard does not yet have this treatment.

When you walk into the spacious forging room, the first thing you see are some strange-looking instruments.

These are purpose-built machine tools.

Passing through these machine tools, there are dozens of huge circular iron furnaces inside the forge.

At the bottom of these iron furnaces, bonfires two people high were lit.

This is a blast furnace, an artifact of the Quan family's efficient iron and steelmaking.

At the same time, it is also one of the top secrets of their Quan family.

With this blast furnace, the Quan family's efficiency in refining iron blocks has been greatly improved.

They only need to load iron ore, coke, limestone and other materials in proportion from the top of the furnace. The high temperature inside and the hot air blown into the interior will remove the impurities of the iron ore and extract purer iron. By chance, when Izumi and others came to inspect, a blast furnace had completed its mission.

Under the operation of the blacksmith, two openings with different heights at the bottom of the blast furnace were opened.

In an instant, two torrents of dark red liquid spurted out from two directions.

One is the successfully refined molten iron.

The other is an even darker slag liquid.

This process is exactly the iron tapping and slag discharge procedure of the blast furnace.

This process allows the high temperature contained inside the blast furnace to be released instantly.

The temperature in the forge instantly increased several degrees.

The hot molten iron flows slowly along specific channels to the large molten iron tank. At the bottom of the molten iron tank, there are huge four wheels.

At the same time, this huge hot metal tanker is placed on a specific railway track.

Under the influence of the railroad tracks, several men pushed away the tons of molten iron tanks with ease.

According to Quanyue's explanation, some of the molten iron will be completely solidified and then taken by the blacksmith for forging.

In the other part, the casting will be poured directly.

"Actually, I think we can put steam engines on cars transporting molten iron. In this way, we can carry more molten iron."

Quanyue looked at the action of manpower pushing the molten iron tanker, and suddenly felt that the efficiency was too low.

"Haha, my father's idea coincides with mine.

In fact, we can even build longer tracks and put more steam trains on them.

In this way, our transportation capacity will be greatly expanded. "

Izumikoshi's idea is actually the concept of railways and trains in the previous life.

However, the railway in the iron forging factory, although only for the convenience of transporting molten iron, has already taken shape.

After viewing the blast furnace, Quan Yi, led by Quan Yue, came to the giant steam forging hammer device in the center.

Driven by steam power, the huge vertical iron columns are reciprocating.

However, at the bottom of the iron pillar, people were pushing the slightly solidified pig iron between the giant anvil and the forging hammer.

I saw that a quarter of the iron block as tall as a person was damaged by the heavy blow of the giant steam forging hammer in an instant.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

Shocking vibrations echoed in the spacious venue.

Thousands of kilograms of iron are quickly purified by repeated hammering with a forging hammer.

Pig iron is refined into wrought iron in less than a minute.

In the following time, wrought iron quickly transformed into fine iron, and then into iron essence.

However, this time has not passed half an hour.

You know, such a piece of iron essence can be sold for tens of thousands of gold soul coins in the outside world.

The wealth controlled by the Quan family can be seen from this.

However, this time when I came to the forge, Izumi didn't just come to admire the forge.

"Father, order them first to suspend this forging hammer.

I'd like to borrow this large anvil first. "

Izumi waved his hand, causing the blacksmiths at work to stop.

At the same time, at Quan Yi's signal, Quan Yue also asked the surrounding blacksmiths to retreat.

After the blacksmith left, Quan Yue asked curiously: "Xiao Yi, what are you doing?"

Quan Yi smiled calmly and said: "I plan to teach the seventy-two combo skills I have mastered to you two."

Quan Li and Quan Yue's eyes suddenly lit up.

They have long wanted to learn Quan Yi's combo technique.

Quan Yi slowly walked to a piece of completely solidified pig iron.

He stretched out his right hand, and at some point his right hand was covered with a red and black gauntlet.

At the same time, the red lines on the gauntlet surged, and a huge dragon claw suddenly appeared on Quan Yi's arm. The dragon claw grabbed the pig iron and burned the pig iron with the flame in his palm.
