Chapter 132 Commencement of the Second Small Blast Furnace

() May of the seventh year of Apocalypse.Dragon Boat Festival.

Shou Han teased Erya with zongzi, colorful thread, and wormwood for a while, making the fat little girl flinch with laughter, and complain to A Niang again.

Yan Meier, who was basking in the sun and sitting on a bamboo chair while drinking tea, looked at the expenditure accounts of the inner house, and from time to time whispered with sisters Mei Shan and Shi Lin about the expenditure of the mansion. Fifth Aunt Tai Thrush, oh, that’s Li Xiuxiu’s personal servant girl. Shou Han became furious because of Xiu Xiu’s death, and found a reasonable and legal reason to destroy the Zheng family. The woman Xiu went to Wushan together with him, after saying hello to Li Peilin, Li Peilin recognized her as a righteous sister, and Shouhan took over the house. However, the ranking can only be very wronged. Two sisters, Shan and Shilin, became the fifth concubine after Li Muhua.

Meishan supported her slightly protruding belly, while talking carefully to Yanmeier, while looking at Li Shouhan who was playing with Erya on the grass with a pair of beautiful phoenix eyes.Shi Lin, who was sitting on Yanmeier with her hands drooping, also had her lower abdomen slightly bulged.

This is the result of Shou Han taking the Siamese sisters and experimenting in it when the Crystal Palace was completed.

This should be Shou Han's last solar term in Ha Tinh Mansion.

After repeated calculations, studies, discussions, and even quarrels, the senior officials of the South Central Army had to admit that Hejing is indeed a bit remote. For the development of the entire strategic layout, the transmission of industrial and agricultural products, various materials, and information Circulation is a great disadvantage, and it is also not conducive to the opening and development of new districts.For this reason, everyone decided that organizations at all levels began to relocate to Hue, the old capital of the Ruan family, and Ha Tinh Province became the industrial base of the South Central Army.

Make an inappropriate analogy.

In the future, the function of Ha Tinh Mansion will be the heart of the South Central Army, providing strong impetus and fresh blood for the development of the South Central Army, while the new administrative center of Hue will be the brain of the South Central Army.

After more than a month of relocation, new offices and capabilities have been formed in Hue, and various institutions have gradually started to operate.After all, it used to be the core of a local government, whether it is from the city or the streets, temples and official pavilions, it has a deeper foundation than He Jing, which was just a thousand households before.

However, others can go to Hue to fight for the front station first, but Shou Han must stay here in Ha Tinh until about Mid-Autumn Festival.

In addition to political considerations to stabilize the morale of the people and the army, it is because the construction of the second small blast furnace has come to an end.

Compared with the first small blast furnace, the design of the second blast furnace took into account the hot blast furnace technology, which can heat the furnace temperature in advance. Although there is no industrial thermometer for the blast furnace, but referring to the parameters of the first blast furnace, Shou Han It is roughly estimated that the temperature should reach 1000 degrees Celsius.It is speculated from this that the original utilization factor was increased from 2 to 3.5, and the coke ratio was reduced from 1 to 0.75 to 0.6, which increased the output of the blast furnace and reduced the coke consumption.

Next, there is the question of the life of the blast furnace.

The first blast furnace, which also has a steel shell, should have a design life of about five years. Although it has undergone several technical transformations, Shou Han estimates that its life span will not exceed ten years.There is no other way to think about it, the fate of the small blast furnace itself is like this.

During smelting, smoke and dust are everywhere, and a large amount of toxic waste gas, waste residue and waste water are discharged, which has a great impact on the surrounding environment. The small blast furnace has a volume of only 100 cubic meters, and there are no flue gas purification measures. The pollution is serious and the equipment is backward. It is an absolute elimination industry. list.Among other things, the discharge of "three wastes" has seriously exceeded the standard.Inefficient use of heat energy and waste of energy, these few crimes can make Li Shouhan cry bitterly in the office of the Environmental Protection Bureau until dawn.

However, what you said is the 21st century, but Shou Han is in the 100th century.The furnace with a volume of [-] cubic meters is definitely an alien technology. One furnace can produce hundreds of tons of steel. This kind of technology can definitely make workers like Su Laosi proud and proud of it!I forgot to mention that Su Laosi is already the supervisor of the No. [-] blast furnace.

In the past, the cowardly, henpecked man with sloppy ears suddenly became a supervisor of a blast furnace, with hundreds of people under his command, thousands of official slaves, and more than 40 carriages waiting to be dispatched at any time. The impact on the steelworkers was huge.In addition to promotion, what people see is the change of economic status. Su Ji's big canteen has opened the semi-colon outside the door of the steel factory, and there is an endless stream of workers going there every day to enjoy three meals a day and supper. , as long as you take out the waist card of the steel factory, you will have an egg as a gift.In the face of such a huge change, all the workers are secretly suffocating, hoping that they will become the next Su Laosi.Rumors have been circulating in the factory that the Lord will build a third blast furnace after the second one.People who think they have better brains start to think about how to improve efficiency, reduce loss, and produce the most steel with the least loss and the least time.Those who feel that their skills are not bad will continue to practice hard and strive for excellence.In the words of Shou Han, who is accustomed to measuring by numbers, everyone speaks in meters, catties, and seconds.

In the construction of the coal and iron complex with the iron and steel plant as the core, with Shouhan's almost crazy investment regardless of cost, the ashes burning road leading to the coking plant and Shixi Iron Mine was widened, allowing five four-wheeled carriages parallel.

While many people were still sweating about the lord's crazy move, keen businessmen from all over the world had tried their best to establish business contacts in this steel factory whose output was almost half that of the Ming Dynasty.

As soon as Hu Zhongkang, one of the owners of Shunfeng Car Co., revealed some rumors in Guangdong and Guangxi, people flocked to him. "Dadong Hu, as long as you can sell me pig iron, I can give you [-] mules and horses for free, and sell you [-] mules and horses. From now on, I will sell you at least [-] mules and horses every year!"

Hu Zhongkang was naturally overjoyed to have such a big customer. It is not surprising that the iron trade in this era is more profitable than people imagined. At one time, thousands of oxen and horses were driven for transportation.

Calculated according to the price of steel production in the Wanli period, each ton of pig iron is about 180 taels of silver. According to Shouhan's production plan, even if all the pig iron produced is exported, that is [-] million taels of silver.What's more, according to Mao Yuanyi's records in "Wu Bei Zhi", during the Tianqi period, a catty of Fujian iron cost almost [-] cent, [-] cents, [-] cents and [-] cents of silver. Three taels of silver per catty.High-quality steel has already been measured in kilograms.Shouhan has three major advantages compared with the iron factories in the mainland. The first is the cost of raw materials. After the establishment of the coal and iron joint venture, iron ore, coal and coke are all used as steel production links, which guarantees production to the greatest extent and reduces costs. .The second is the output brought by the small blast furnace.Using air heat technology to preheat the blast furnace can ensure that the entire process of filling, smelting, production, and slag removal of a furnace of steel can be completed within three days. This process will complete the production of at least [-] tons of steel.The third is coke.Shouhan uses coke made of high-quality anthracite to smelt steel, which can basically ensure that the quality is comparable to that of steel made with charcoal as fuel, and even slightly better!

When the summary of the situation in the Business Office was sent to Shouhan's desk, he handed over the document to his assistants, "how? at the door?"

After eating rice dumplings and drinking realgar wine, on the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Shouhan received a letter from Ling Zheng, the director of the iron and steel plant. The construction of the second blast furnace tube has been completed, and the inner wall will be installed soon. Take the time to go on the day when the furnace is opened.

Does the leader cut the ribbon?

Shou Han was a little dumbfounded, but thinking about it, before the opening of each business, it is a tradition for the owner to adorn the golden lion and drape flowers and hang red.

"Don't ignore factors such as quality and safety in order to catch up with the progress. When it is officially smelted, I will definitely go to congratulate it."

Strictly speaking, the iron and steel plant and its parent company, Hanyuan Company, are all Shouhan’s business. Others, either by paying funds for shares, or because of technical contributions and management contributions, get a certain amount of money. shares, but the biggest owner is undoubtedly Li Shouhan himself.

However, thinking about the fact that a catty of wrought iron can be sold for a penny in the future, Su Laosi, who is already a shareholder of the steel factory, would wake up from his dreams with laughter. The construction unit and the people in the construction factory supervised the officials and slaves to complete the construction of the second blast furnace as soon as possible.

Just like watching one's own children grow up day by day, the construction of the second blast furnace was finally completed in the anticipation of everyone.

In June, after several masters carefully read the almanac and feng shui, and made strict calculations, they decided to carry out the virgin smelting of the second blast furnace on June [-]th.

Amidst the sound of firecrackers, Erya's little hand pulled down a piece of red silk, and the water wheel at the end of the red silk slowly turned. The reciprocating motion drives high-temperature hot air into the furnace chamber like the tide of Qiantang River.

Through the peephole opened next to the furnace cylinder, Ling Zheng narrowed his eyes and keenly found that the temperature inside the furnace had reached the optimum value, so he pushed the lead plate of the peephole back to its original position. "Okay! Stop the hot air! Light the fire!"

Immediately, the sky and the earth are filled with fireworks, and the red stars shine on the sky!

The people sitting far away in the temporary mat shed built with reed mats and bamboo felt the heat wave coming from the pavement even though they were far away. Received the baptism of the three wastes at a young age.Then he handed Erya to the nanny, and signaled her to take Erya to play elsewhere first. If the eldest lady is really a little tired, she can simply take Erya back to the house.

The people present didn't care to pay attention to the nanny and the eldest lady and left first, all of them just stared at the small blast furnace in the distance.

Su Lao Si and Ling Zheng stood in the peephole on the side of the blast furnace with vigor, watching the changes inside the furnace with professional steel factory goggles.

Under the joint action of coke and lime, the iron ore in the furnace has gradually turned into molten iron, and slowly turned orange red. Slowly, molten iron and dross began to appear. On the molten iron, the dross followed the movement of the molten iron. And sometimes hidden.People at this time naturally don't know what is pearlite and what is austenite, but, relying on the accumulated experience of many generations, Ling Zheng and Su Laosi know that this blast furnace has been successful, and the next thing, Just continue heating, and when the heat is enough, the furnace can be turned on to tap iron.

Such good news, naturally the two directors should report to Shou Han immediately.When the two hurriedly ran all the way to Shou Han and told him the good news, Shou Han praised them very much.

"My lord, if there are no accidents, the No. 600 furnace can produce more than [-] tons of wrought iron in the first furnace!"

My dear! 600 tons of wrought iron, if this is changed in other places, it is Foshan, which is famous for its iron industry. I am afraid that it will take all the blacksmiths in Foshan to work hard for several months to achieve the output, but here, it is just a furnace. Yield.

This is the power of technology!Shou Han pretended to say something in his heart.

A small blast furnace with a volume of 3.5 cubic meters was an industry that was absolutely severely cracked down in my own era, but here, it is enough to be proud of the world.Even if calculated with a lower coefficient of 600, [-] tons is still within reach.

"Everyone, we idlers have seen how the colleagues in the steel plant make steel today. The next thing is that they turn the molten iron into iron ingots. We don't want to make trouble for Director Ling here. Everyone returns Get to your post!"

Seeing off the ribbon-cutting and watching ceremony led by Shou Han, Fourth Su couldn't help letting out a long sigh.He glanced at the clock, then looked at the color of the molten iron in the stove, discussed with Ling Zheng and Ling Zheng, and Ling Zheng gave the order, "Get ready to turn on the stove!"

With an order, all the people became tense. They finally checked the cotton-padded jackets and trousers on their bodies as labor protection equipment, as well as the cotton armor on their upper bodies, to prevent the molten steel from splashing on them and causing injury.

Someone opened the furnace door with a long-handled iron hook.Suddenly, a hot stream of iron spewed out.Along the ditch made of burned ash, the molten iron flows forward. The officials and slaves use the long-handled ladles in their hands to pick up the dross floating on the surface of the molten iron. There is a large horizontal plate attached to the top of the ditch. After intercepting it, the officials and slaves used long-handled iron spoons to fish out the dross from time to time to prevent them from blocking the way out of the molten iron.

At the other end of the trench, there are molds waiting for the gradually cooling molten iron.A mold weighed [-] kilograms, and hundreds of officials and slaves lined up at the exit of the trench to welcome the arrival of the molten iron.

A few days later, a polished and gleaming wrought iron ingot was delivered to the guard's table.

The total output of wrought iron produced in the first furnace period was 610 tons, which greatly exceeded Shou Han's expectations, and it probably has something to do with the new furnace.

"Okay! The two furnaces operate in rotation. Even if they are not operating at full capacity, it should be more than enough to guarantee [-] tons of steel a year."

Shou Han leaned back very proudly.With enough steel, coupled with the gunpowder contributed by the nitrification fields, and the endless rice, it is not enough to compete for supremacy in the world, and it is always enough to be a powerful tyrant.

At present, to smelt a furnace of steel requires about one and a half to two tons of ore, plus about 500 kilograms of coke, and some lime. Depending on the requirements of the smelting species, other additives must be added.In addition to smelting steel, those waste residues can also be used as raw materials for silicon fertilizer to reclaim wasteland and fertilize fields.

Besides silicon fertilizer, another by-product gave Shou Han a bad reputation.

In the slag produced after steelmaking, there is calcium carbide produced by decarburization of quicklime under high temperature. This thing is also called calcium carbide.

It turned out that Shouhan had also produced calcium carbide, but the output was too small to be popularized, but today, the two blast furnaces produce a lot of products every day, so what are you waiting for, just use it!

Ever since, all factories, mines, and industries, as long as they are not places with particularly strict requirements on taste, use calcium carbide lamps as night lighting tools.Some quick-witted people began to think of working at night.

Those who are better are paid according to the working hours during the day, those with poor moral character are paid at a discount, those who are not frugal, they just have a supper to send off the workers, and even if the frugality is negative, they simply pay nothing. No.

"We will be surprised to find that the ruler of the East is the one who started to extract the surplus value of laborers by means of prolonging working hours and increasing labor intensity. Li Shouhan gradually established and perfected his basic industrial system, and then What followed was to dump his various products to various places, and the consequences of his behavior would be disastrous for people who are still in the natural economic state!"

—Speech by Karl Heinrich M. at a protest against the extension of working hours by the factory owners in Hyde Park, London.

Shou Han naturally didn't know what others said, he just raised his feet high and leaned back, suddenly, the top of his head seemed to touch a soft object.

"Um?!"

It was the pretty face of Sister Meishan. (Don't get me wrong, I say that because they are twins.)

"Sanggong," while massaging Shouhan's shoulders with a pair of green fingers, Meishan was thinking about how to phrase it.

"Grandma sent a letter. She is very happy to know that my sister and I have your flesh and blood. She plans to come and take care of us for a while. Is it possible?"

The cheap mother-in-law wants to come over to help her wife through her pregnancy. Naturally, this kind of thing can't be stopped, and it's just a few more people to eat.

"It's okay, write back, hey! No! You can discuss it with your sister Meier, and send someone from the mansion directly to Dacheng to pick up your mother!"

"there's one more thing."

Meishan has been expecting Ai Ai for a while.

"Grandma's letter said, Dad wants to ask, can you sell him some good iron? It doesn't need to be too much, one hundred thousand catties a month is enough!"

"One hundred thousand a month? Too much," Shou Han murmured with a straight face on purpose.

"If my husband is in trouble, my concubine will write to my father right away, and show him righteousness, telling him not to wishful thinking, but just honestly planting the teardrop tree that my husband gave him in my own field." Mei Shan saw The momentum was not good, and he was ready to turn the rudder and sail immediately.

"Hey! Don't get me wrong! What I mean is, is one hundred thousand catties a month from my father-in-law enough for his old man to sell! In this way, when you send someone back to pick up your mother-in-law, send a letter and say I said, I can sell 20 catties of wrought iron to my father-in-law a month! Ask him if he can eat it?"

"My lord, Pei Ting sent a letter from Guangzhou. He found a big buyer for us. He also wants hundreds of thousands of catties of wrought iron!"

The happy Li Peilin also came to announce the good news to Shou Han with his brother's family letter.

(I am very ashamed to find out that the output, volume, time and other data of the small blast furnace were mixed up. The cycle was added to make the output of a single furnace. However, calculated in this way, the total output of a small blast furnace of 100 cubic meters in three days is Up to [-] tons is not bad. I hope everyone will continue to support.)

It seems that there have been a lot of farming plots recently! ?But there is no way. If these things are not done well, how can the pig's feet compete with the coachman, Yingyi, Jiannu, and Donglin for supremacy?

Also please support us a lot.
