071 Outsmarting the Great Craftsman

The early morning wind blew away the bloody smell, Wang Er woke up from a hangover, went out of the house, and soon found Lao Heishan sitting among the dead, with cigarette butts thrown all over the place beside him.

When Wang Er saw so many dead people, his legs became limp, his nose and tears dripped uncontrollably, and he said, "Brother Heishan, what are you doing? Do these foreigners have such a big enmity with you?"

Lao Heishan grinned and said, "This Russian official is the one who killed my wife. That day he and a Chinese woman came to our village to find someone to work for. My wife didn't come back after she went. He said, 'We can negotiate wages'." ’, I always remember.”

At this time, other lumberjacks also came out one after another. Everyone was terrified when they saw so many people died. Lao Heishan smiled lightly and said: "One person does the work and the other is responsible. I will take the blame alone. "

Old Montenegro killed eleven Russians in the early morning of December 1894, 12, known as the "lumber yard incident" in history. Of course, this personal grievance was submerged in history, and few historians mentioned it .This incident gave Tsarist Russia an excuse to station troops in the Northeast. In the following month, Tsarist Russian soldiers successively increased their troops to the Northeast under the pretext of "protecting the road".

Soon, Lin Yuan, who was far away in Ryukyu, got the news. From the news of the Russian garrison guarding the road, he smelled the breath of war. The newly recruited army soldiers did not have weapons yet, which made him very anxious.

When he came to the iron and steel factory, he saw that the coal had been unloaded from the ship and piled up in the pre-built warehouse, the coking equipment was also prepared, and the blast furnace was set up. This blast furnace was obviously smaller than the modern blast furnaces that are tens of meters high. The number is up, so it was built relatively quickly. When I came to the steam power workshop, it was almost installed, and several technicians were debugging the equipment.

When I came to the open hearth furnace and converter workshop, I saw Liu Jinqiu here, staring in a daze at rows of steel ladles, which were used to hold molten steel, Lin Yuan went up and asked, "Mr. Liu, what's wrong with you? "

Liu Jinqiu frowned and said, "The cast steel has too few shapes, and I'm afraid it can't meet our needs."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and asked, "What do you mean?"

Liu Jinqiu said: "I think the British are stumbling us again. The steel molds they give us are only wire rods, which means that the steel we smelt can only be cylindrical."

Lin Yuan said: "That's impossible. The first batch of steel we smelt must be used in manufacturing and processing equipment. We need to make machine tools, stamping machines, and refining equipment outside the furnace. We must need various steel mold."

Liu Jinqiu shook his head and said, "Let's not mention the refining outside the furnace. We are too short of sensors. It is unimaginable that the refining outside the furnace lacks complete detection and control equipment."

Lin Yuan asked: "Then can we build steel molds ourselves?"

Liu Jinqiu sighed: "It can be done, but none of us can do it. Even in modern steel factories, many steel molds need to be made by hand. The engineers on our ship can design the molds, but if you really want to If you do it by hand, you can’t do it. If you want to do this thing well, you have to rely on experienced masters.”

Lin Yuan asked: "You don't know how to do it either?"

Liu Jinqiu said with a smile: "I am engaged in theoretical research, which has nothing to do with making things by hand!"

Lin Yuan thought of Cheng Jiuzhen and said, "Could Master Cheng Jiu not do it?"

Liu Jinqiu nodded and said, "He can do it, but the members of the Cheng family are still not enough. We need more people."

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "I've seen an iron statue in the king's palace. It is said that molten iron was poured to form it in one go. I don't know if the person who made this thing can make a mold."

Liu Jinqiu said: "It should be possible, why don't you go find him and see if he can help."

When Lin Yuan came back in the afternoon, he found that the coking plant had started to operate, and some coke had been smelted. He was walking and saw Shen Wanqing walking towards him, and asked him: "How, did you find that person? "

Lin Yuan sighed and said, "I found it after looking for it, but they drove me back without even looking at me."

Shen Wanqing covered her mouth and smiled for a while, then said: "This is not the first time our big captain has been rejected."

Lin Yuan said, "What's more, that old man plays mahjong every day now."

When Shen Wanqing heard "Mahjong", her eyes lit up and she said, "Maybe I can help you invite him out of the mountain."

Lin Yuan asked her, and she said, "You will know when the time comes."

The two of them crossed the streets and alleys until they came to the door of a small quiet courtyard. There was a faint sound of mahjong coming from the door. Lin Yuan said at the door: "I have asked, this old man is called Chen Bo, and his ancestors also came from China." , best at casting iron.”

Shen Wanqing bit her lip and thought for a while, then said, "Well, isn't he just a blacksmith! See how I deal with him."

After finishing speaking, he pushed the door and entered the courtyard without knocking. Lin Yuan didn't expect her to be like this, so he had no choice but to follow. Chen Bo didn't know Shen Wanqing, but he recognized Lin Yuan. Chen Bo smiled and said: "Young man, go back, don't you all use machines for blacksmithing now? What do you want me, an old man?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "We didn't come to ask you to leave the mountain, we came to ask you to play mahjong."

Chen Bo was quite confident in his level of playing mahjong, and said with a smile: "Little girl, can you play mahjong?"

Shen Wanqing's answer surprised Lin Yuan, she smiled and replied: "No."

The four people at the table laughed, Shen Wanqing didn't care, walked to the table with a chair, and said with a coquettish smile, "I don't know how, you can teach me."

Chen Bo laughed, and said: "Look at you, you are so white and tender. When I see you, I think of my granddaughter. Well, I will teach you how to play."

After watching a few games, Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "It turns out that mahjong is so simple, it's so boring."

Chen Bo smiled helplessly, and Shen Wanqing said again: "How about this, let's play a few games, and if I win, you can come out of the mountain to help us make things."

Chen Bo smiled disdainfully and said, "What if you lose?"

Shen Wanqing said confidently, "I will definitely not lose."

Several people at the table were laughing again, at this time one person had moved away, Shen Wanqing sat at the table, what Lin Yuan didn't expect was that Shen Wanqing won five rounds in a row!

Shen Wanqing spread her hands and said, "Senior Chen, you lost."

Chen Bo was speechless in shock, and he asked, "Didn't you say you can't play?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "I don't know how to play, but I can win as long as I know how to count."

Chen Bo shook his head and said with a smile: "Okay, admit defeat, I promise to help you make molds, but you have to let me understand, how do you manage to win every game?"

Shen Wanqing smiled and said, "It's simple. When I'm playing, I know the cards of each of you! Do you think I can't win?"

Chen Bo couldn't help asking: "How did you do it?"
