I was watching short videos and was seen by ancient people

Chapter 137: Essential Guide to Time Travel: Coal and Homemade Coking ([-])

[Essential Guide to Time Travel Coal and Homemade Coking #Travel# Counterattack Road]

If you travel through time and want to develop industry, the utilization and mining of coal is an unavoidable issue.

We all know that the development of industry requires energy, and coal and oil are the main energy providers.

However, coal mining is too troublesome, and oil is even more difficult to mine in China.

Let’s take a brief look at what open-pit coal mines there are.

my country's open-pit coal mines are mainly distributed in Shaanxi, Shanxi, Northeast China, Inner Mongolia and other regions. Among them, the Antaibao open-pit coal mine in Shanxi has the highest coal output and is relatively close to the hinterland of the Central Plains.

If you travel back in time to ancient times, you can use the coal mines here to make coke, and then use the coke to smelt steel.

Let me explain in detail how to refine coal into coke.

……

Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shihuang was holding the sword donated by the Mohist family just now. When he saw the video on the sky screen, he was stunned.

He just learned from the Mohist disciples that this coal can also be used to smelt iron swords, and now there is a broadcast on the sky about how to turn coal into coke?

Although he didn't know the function of refining coke, when he saw on the sky screen that the refining coke was used to smelt steel, Qin Shihuang felt that there must be a reason for this.

So he used the Mohist disciples to carefully study what was said on the Tianmu, and tried to develop such a device.

After hearing Qin Shihuang's order, they carefully studied the video on the sky screen.

When they saw the map of the open-pit coal mine appearing on the sky, they compared it with Da Qin's map in detail.

The Mohist disciples were overjoyed when they discovered that the Antaibao open-pit coal mine mentioned on the sky screen was in Mayi, Taiyuan County.

Originally, a lot of coal was needed for heating, and they wanted to use coal to smelt iron ore. They were worried about how to find the coal mine, but they didn't expect that Tianmu would give them the answer now.

So they quickly took notes on paper and looked carefully for all the useful content in the video.

And some Mohist disciples also asked the craftsmen to practice coke according to what was said on the sky screen.

The Mohist disciples would like to see how effective the refined coke is in smelting steel.So they asked the craftsmen to quickly open the furnace to refine the iron ore.

However, the effect was far beyond their expectations. Compared with the previous direct use of coal to smelt iron ore.

Using coke to smelt iron ore can actually melt the iron ore into water in a shorter time.

With such a result, all the Mohist disciples were very satisfied.

So they reported the good news to Qin Shi Huang.

Han Dynasty.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che saw what was said on the sky screen, he asked the craftsmen to test it quickly.

He wanted to see what the advantages of the refined coke were, and why it was called a necessary skill for time travelers to counterattack in later generations.

Soon after the craftsmen began experimenting, he received feedback from the craftsmen.

The above message noted the advantages of coke. However, what made Liu Che, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, more concerned was that it could make iron ore easier to smelt.

After thinking about it, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty Liu Che issued an order to have people go to Antaibao as soon as possible to dig coal for smelting iron.

Three Kingdoms period.

Cao Cao, Liu Bei, and Sun Quan, who were preparing to use coal to smelt ironware, saw the coking method on the sky screen. They were very curious about the use of the refined coke.
In order to understand this problem, they asked their craftsmen to conduct experiments and found that the smelted coke made it easier to melt iron ore.

And the iron that was previously refined from coal was much slower than this coke.

They once again issued an order to use the coke produced from the coal to smelt iron.

They believe that they have such an artifact and will create more weapons. By then, their opponents will be nothing more than a piece of cake.Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin, who had already asked his men to use coal mines to smelt iron ore, saw the coal coking mentioned on the sky screen again, and he was hesitant to make another order.

In the end, he believed what Tianmu said and asked his men to use coal to refine coke and then smelt molten iron. What they didn't expect was that the speed of smelting molten iron was greatly increased.

Li Shimin believed that his Datang had such technology, and that Goguryeo's military commander Quan Gaisuwen was rescuing it, and that his Datang would definitely be able to tear off a piece of fat from Goguryeo.

Song Dynasty period.

When the common people saw the local method of coking mentioned on the sky screen, they were not curious.

By their time, this technology had already matured.

And the steel they made was also made from this kind of coke.

However, the distribution map of open-pit coal mines on the sky screen still made the people of the Song Dynasty very curious.

They also want to know where the open-pit coal mines are located.

At the same time, some merchants in the Song Dynasty saw the open-pit coal mines on the sky, and their eyes glowed green.

In their view, this is not only the distribution map of coal mines, but also easy money.

So they quickly found the yamen, cleared some connections, and wanted to buy these coal mines.

But before they could take action, the imperial court issued a decree that the so-called open-pit coal mines in the sky should be classified as state-owned.

The merchants who were looking for connections to buy these coal mines were said on the screen to be struck by lightning.

In their view, this is an opportunity to get rich suddenly, but they have just talked about it and then flew away.

At the same time, these merchants secretly vowed that if there is such a good opportunity next time, they will work hard to grab it.

tomorrow.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the open-pit coal mine displayed on the sky screen, he asked someone to write it down.

I feel that since these coal mines are not mined, they should be owned by the state.

At the same time, Zhu Fan, who was entrusted to Shanxi by Zhu Yuanzhang, saw what was said on the sky screen and felt that God was really helping him.

Since Shanxi has coal, there will also be raw materials for refining steel in the future.

Not only that, even the benefits generated by coal would make him a rich man in the Ming Dynasty in a very short period of time.

With such money and steel, he felt that he should not just be the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty.

At the end of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youjian saw on the sky that coal was an important energy source for industrial development. He couldn't believe it?
He had seen it on the sky screen a long time ago. If those people of later generations traveled through the Ming Dynasty, they would industrialize the Ming Dynasty.

We also probably know that the material abundance in later generations was also due to the start of industrialization.

But when he actually came into contact with coal, he was even more unbelievable that this coal could actually open up the road to industrialization in the Ming Dynasty.

But no matter what, the coal still needs to be dug. After all, he has a force attacking Houjin in Liaodong.

Even for the sake of keeping the soldiers warm in winter, this coal mine should be mined.

When the people of various dynasties saw what was said on the sky screen, they felt that this method was somewhat familiar.

After all, their wood refining coke cannot be filled with this method.

It's just that the equipment used is not as advanced as the one on the canopy.

So many charcoal sellers began to turn their attention to coal, feeling that coke made from coal would have a bright future.
