Chapter 46 Guiding Blast Furnace Ironmaking
Restart the book Wuhundian and hand it over to the bookstore for publication.

Ye Tian doesn't need to do anything for now.

It has been nearly two months since the blast furnace ironmaking technology was taught to Amman.

Ye Tian also planned to go and have a look.

He came to Craftsman Street.

Came to Aman's shop with ease.

The president, Aman, is concentrating on blacksmithing.

See Ye Tian coming.

Quickly put down the work in hand.

He gave a heavy salute, and said with a moved face:

"Thank you, young master, for eliminating harm for the people."

"All the blacksmiths in Craftsmanship Street, please ask me, the president, to send you my greetings."

"It's a pity, young master, I haven't brought everyone's wishes in the future for more than a month."

"The gift is in the backyard. It's everyone's kindness. I hope the young master will not dislike it."

talking.

Aman was going to the backyard to pick up the gifts that the blacksmiths gave Ye Tiancou.

Ye Tian pressed his little hand: "Let's all go back."

"How is the blast furnace built?"

Hearing this, Ah Man blushed:
"In the small square on Craftsman Street."

"It was built according to the method you said, young master, but it failed to make iron."

Ye Tian beckoned: "Take me to have a look."

"Okay." Seeing that Ye Tian didn't blame him, Aman was relieved.

Hurry up and lead the way.

Aman has great admiration for this benefactor of Craftsmanship Street.

At the same time, it is also extremely scary.

Because the other party can arrest the bishop in white with one word.

That is the Soul Emperor of the Six Rings!
Six rings, an admirable existence.

And Ye Tian's energy is obviously more six rings than six rings.

If it makes you unhappy.

I'm afraid it's not enough for him to be unlucky alone.

In that case, Aman felt that he was ashamed of Jiangxin Street.

Ingenuity Street is not big.

The small square in the middle is said to be a square.

In fact, it is a depression for throwing garbage.

On the depression, a stone building is 20 meters high, standing like a chimney-shaped furnace.

under the stove.

A stooped old man was looking at the stove with a sad face.

Behind the old man were two strong blacksmiths.

"Old Huangtou, the young master is here." Aman reminded.

The old Huangtou turned around, saw Ye Tian, ​​and hurried to meet him:
"Young master, you really are young and promising. My name is Huangjin, and everyone calls me Old Huangtou."

Ye Tian nodded slightly, took a step forward, walked around the blast furnace, and asked:
"Has the fire ever been lit?"

The old Huangtou pointed to the brown iron mine beside him, and said with a wry smile: "It has been lit more than ten times this month, and the temperature seems to be below the standard, and no molten iron has flowed out."

Ye Tian pushed open the furnace door, ready to go in.

The old Huangtou stopped and said: "Young master, there are ashes inside, don't get your clothes dirty."

Ye Tian didn't care.

walked in.

Not long after, Ye Tian, ​​who was covered in dust, came out with a few pieces of ore and charcoal that had been filled in earlier.

Charcoal is hard and should be fired from hardwood.

Ye Tian didn't know if there was coal in Douluo Continent.

But charcoal has a long history of making iron and produces enough heat, obviously so that's not a major factor.

Ye Tian picked up the iron ore again, and asked: "What is the yield rate of this iron ore, has it ever been refined?"

The old Huangtou replied: "This is the iron ore collected on the west mountain of Wuhun City. The iron yield is about 3%. It is a high-quality ore. Craftsmanship Street has been buying this kind of ore."

"I probably understand."

Ye Tian nodded and walked around the stove again.

Pointing to the air inlet, he said, "The air inlet of this stove is too small, it needs manual blowing."

Blast furnace ironmaking does not rely on high temperature melting, but reduction with carbon monoxide produced by combustion.

The amount of oxygen required is higher than that of ordinary ironmaking methods.

"Also." Ye Tian recalled carefully:
"For charcoal ironmaking, the temperature is a bit low."

"You can't just use iron oxide, you need to add a certain amount of pig iron."

Pig iron, that is, iron that has been tempered.

"This..." Old Huangtou hesitated.

Use smelted iron and continue to smelt, the old yellow head has never heard of it.

"Listen to the young master." Aman reminded.

The old Huangtou smiled bitterly, that was the only way to go.

Can you not listen?

This young man, I am afraid that with one word, the entire Craftsmanship Street will be ruined.

Seeing the scruples of the two, Ye Tian took out a bag of gold soul coins from his bosom.

After touching it, there are about two hundred pieces.

I earn money by writing books these days.

Ye Tian handed it directly to Aman.

"The iron raw materials needed for the blast furnace don't need good iron, scrap iron is fine, these two hundred gold soul coins are right to buy iron money."

"How can this happen?" Aman waved his hand quickly: "Young Master, you have already helped Jiangxin Street, no matter what, we can't ask for your money." "What's more, these two hundred gold soul coins are enough to buy a thousand kilograms of goods. Ironclad."

Ye Tian smiled slightly:
"If you don't want it, you don't take it yourself."

"Other blacksmiths still need to support their families."

"In addition, these gold soul coins are not all iron coins."

"Call some good blacksmiths and come here to help."

"Part of this money is salary."

When he heard this, Aman couldn't refute.

I had no choice but to nod and say yes, then turned around and went door to door to buy scrap iron.

Ye Tian directed the old Huangtou to take a few apprentices to modify the air inlet.

Because it is an ironmaking experiment.

So it doesn't have to be so refined.

Old Huangtou went to the next street and bought a few hollow moso bamboos to use as pipes.

Use yellow mud to bury the pipe at the air inlet.

The old yellow head said:

"Young master, don't worry, I have already asked my apprentice to go to various houses to borrow blower bellows."

"Later, find a few young men in hardcover, and connect the sheepskin bellows of each family together, so that the guarantor can blow it down when standing there!"

Ye Tian smiled without saying a word.

In this world, the technology of the gearbox has not yet been illuminated.

The principle of the bellows is just like a balloon. First blow up the 'balloon' made of sheepskin, and then squeeze the 'balloon' to squeeze the air out of the sheepskin box.

How can there be such a strong wind.

In the future, it may be considered to build the blast furnace by the river.

Use a water wheel vehicle as a blower power.

Soon.

Aman led dozens of strong men over.

Everyone carried a lot of scrap iron in their hands.

"Put it all in the blast furnace."

Ye Tian pointed to the stairs on the blast furnace.

"Listen to the young master." Aman nodded solemnly.

for a while.

The blower box also came.

But the bellows of each company have different excuses.

It doesn't match the pipes made of bamboo tubes at all.

Aman only needs to buy sheepskins, and ask the tailor from the next street to come over and sew up the bellows of each house on the spot.

Toss into the afternoon.

The bellows were finally connected together.

Ore and charcoal were also thrown in.

Everything is finally available.

"ignition."

Ye Tianliang took out his second soul ring and rubbed out a ball of flames.

thrown into the blast furnace.

"Pull the bellows!" the old Huangtou shouted.

Dozens of strong men sang songs, hey yo hey yo pulled the bellows.

Amidst this rhythmic sound, the flames shot up rapidly.

The 20-meter blast furnace also began to emit the first thick smoke.

Ironmaking is laborious work.

If it is an ordinary furnace, from the beginning of refining, you want molten iron to come out of the furnace.

It takes at least ten hours.

But even a blast furnace takes at least six hours.

Moreover, such a large furnace cannot be operated without twenty people.

in front of you.

Plus the bellows.

There are more than 50 people.

Almost all the blacksmiths on Craftsmanship Street came to help.

Someone added firewood.

Someone directs.

The rest of the people take turns pulling the bellows.

This continued until night fell.

The red flames reflected on everyone's faces through the cracks in the blast furnace.

The strong men, because of the heat, their bodies are steaming with heat.

All are topless.

"Young master, eat some of the food sent by the women."

Aman came over with a simple and honest smile, and handed Ye Tian a Roujiamo with his broad palm.

Roujiamo, wrapped in oiled paper.

The children who were delivering meals next to them all watched and swallowed their saliva involuntarily.

Obviously, this is a precious food that they usually cannot eat.

Ye Tian saw this scene.

He took it with a smile and gave it to a little girl younger than himself.

Ye Tiandao: "Usually I'm tired of delicacies from mountains and seas, it's good to eat some whole grains."
