Li Fan in the house was packing up his quill, only to hear a commotion outside the door, and Xiaohu rushed over and shouted out of breath

"Where... Brother Fan, Uncle Xia Hua is back, he said... He said he found the kind of black stone you wanted!"

Li Fan was stunned for a moment, and stuffed the quill into the hand of Yao Ziqiang, who was standing next to him. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"Xiaohu, take me over. ”

Yao Ziqiang was shocked to find that the ancestor's voice was actually a little trembling, could it be that the black stone was so important?

Li Fan suppressed the excitement in his heart and ran towards the house where Xia Hua was after Wang Xiaohu.

Can you not get excited?

As the most widely used fuel for mankind before oil, once almost indispensable, steam engines, various smelting plants, and even power stations, who can live without coal?

The nickname "Black Gold" is not called for nothing!

Oil can't be used without fractionation, but coal can!

Even if it does not go through "coal washing" (coal preparation), it can be used, even coal with a relatively high sulfur content is not extinguished as soon as it is ignited, in other words, if Li Fan wants to restart human civilization, then coal is the cornerstone and blood of this huge project!

Even if there is no oil, only coal, the steel steam chariots that will be overwhelming in the future, the huge steam tanks, and the airships that cover the sky, if these can't beat the Tianlong people to their knees and call Dad, he Li Fan is not a person!

Li Fan obviously has a mining distribution map, why do you want people to look for it?

Because most of the coal is buried deep underground, it is not at all that an almost primitive village like Yangcun can be mined, so Li Fan is gambling, betting that some of the coal has come to the surface and become an open-pit coal mine in the geological changes or changes of more than a thousand years!

Now it seems that he won the bet.

Li Fan came to the room, looked at Xia Hua, who was bruised and swollen and full of scars, his eyes froze, and he stepped forward quickly, not asking where the coal was, but carefully examining his body.

Xia Hua trembled and wanted to say something, Li Fan frowned

"Don't move, don't speak. ”

The dog next to him popped out a robotic arm and began to measure Xia Hua's heart rate and other data, and by the way, he tested the blood.

After a long time, Li Fan breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not a big deal, it's all skin trauma, the bones are strong, there are no fractures. ”

Xia Hua grinned, smiling heartlessly

"Village chief, I know it's okay, but I just fell after two days and two nights without rest. ”

Li Fan glared again

"Two days and two nights, you don't want to die?"

Xia Hua smiled, and then struggled to touch the coal from his arms that he had held until he fainted, and no one had been able to break the coal from his hand before.

He held up the warm black stone in front of Li Fan as if offering a treasure

"Village chief, village chief, look, what you want, I found it!"

Li Fan took the small coal in silence, looked at Xia Hua, who had a blue nose and swollen face but was full of happiness, and suddenly understood something, and wanted to say something, but found that his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and just patted him on the shoulder.

"Xia Xiaohua performed very well, don't worry, he studied very seriously. ”

Xia Hua smiled more and more happily, and soon fell asleep.

Li Fan kicked out all the irrelevant people, and then closed the door and left.

He had been deliberately suppressing his psychological strength before, or that the villagers of Sheep Village were too simple, so simple that everyone could know what the villagers of Sheep Village were thinking and why they were working so hard.

It's not because of the false slogan "For all mankind", they just want to be fed, to survive, to keep their children from wandering around and being bullied like them, and to tell them what to do when someone gives them hope.

These simple and simple men will fight everything to accomplish it, even if it is at the cost of their own lives.

Giving is not about ideals, but about sacrifice.

Li Fan let out a sigh of relief, but he was clutching this small black stone in his hand. It's dead, it's dead.

..................

In the No. 1 Brick Kiln Factory in Yangcun, Li Fan's face has been blackened by smoke, and only two bright eyes and a mouthful of white teeth are still reflecting the light.

Winter is coming, the potatoes in Yang Village have been harvested three times, all of them are bumper harvests, the originally fertile and abnormal land, coupled with the meticulous care of Sun Mancang and others, the potatoes have given the villagers of Yang Village the greatest confidence.

Since you can even fill your stomach, what could be more terrible in this world?

But Li Fan knew that if he couldn't build enough brick houses in winter, the villagers of Yangcun would definitely not be able to resist the severe cold of more than ten degrees below zero or even more than twenty degrees.

Therefore, burning bricks has become the most important thing at the moment.

The temperature of the first furnace brick furnace is not enough, and many of the raw bricks fired out are completely unusable, and the second furnace is directly burned high, and most of them are all deformed.

Li Fan is indeed an expert, he also knows the principle of burning bricks, and he can even write the equation for the chemical reaction in the bricks at high temperatures.

But these have little effect on how to make a good kiln of bricks.

The temperature of burning bricks can only be explored slowly, or waiting for the workers responsible for burning bricks to become perfect.

Now it's the sixth time it's been fired.

Dogan patted his metal chest and said that he had calculated the optimal furnace temperature and had been using a thermometer to monitor the furnace temperature, and this time he would definitely succeed.

Li Fan looked at the watch on his wrist, stood up, and said to Liu Han, who was standing on the side more nervous than him

"Extinguish the fire and seal the kiln!"

Liu Han trotted two steps forward and shouted loudly

"Flameout!"

Several workers responsible for adding coal to maintain the temperature of the furnace carefully closed all the holes in the kiln door where the fire was burning.

Then the fire holes above were all closed.

Li Fan did not use water steam for cooling, because the result was green bricks, and for him, red bricks without one process were more practical.

While waiting for the brick kiln to cool down, Liu Han whispered

"Village chief, how do you build a house with these bricks? Are they built up piece by piece? Can this house be inhabited? Won't it fall down as soon as you push it?"

Li Fan shook his head

"Don't worry, as long as I can burn bricks, I can build you a house!"

Liu Han said hesitantly after pondering for a while

"The village chief.... Now that the potatoes are abundant, many people say that since there is enough food, we can move south immediately, find a warm place to stay, and there is no need to build a house or trouble. ”

Li Fan raised his head suddenly, his eyes became extremely sharp, and he stared at Liu Han and asked

"Liu Han, you tell me the truth, do you still have people in the village who think that with potatoes, they won't be hungry in the future?

Liu Han was taken aback by Li Fan's gaze and said in a snort

"It's... This one.... Chief.... We don't have much to pursue except to be full....... Isn't that raising animals or something to feed your stomach?"

Li Fan lowered his eyes, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and after a long time, he finally calmed down and said in a sad tone

"Yes.... You are full, and you think that as long as you are full, nothing else is a problem, but I ask you!

Have the other Xia people eaten enough? You are comfortable, and you will no longer have to worry about the future, what about those tribesmen who are still being oppressed in the big city? What about those villages that are still wandering around like dogs?

I didn't come here just to feed you, I wanted everyone to be able to eat, not to be bullied, not to be treated as beasts by the Draconians, I also wanted the Draconians to kneel in front of people completely, just like they did to us before.

What I want..... Do you understand?"

Liu Han took a step back in shock, he was frightened by Li Fan's bold remarks, if anyone had told him before that he would beat the Tianlong people into dogs and liberate all mankind, he would definitely think that this person was sick in the brain.

But now after listening to Li Fan's words, Liu Han found that he really had a little expectation in his heart.

There is also an ambition that I couldn't think of before, to defeat the Draconians and liberate all mankind!

Just when the two were silent, the brick kiln not far away suddenly erupted in cheers.

Lin Hai grinned with his scalded teeth holding a brick, jumping and shouting

"Village Chief, Village Chief! We succeeded!"

Li Fan glanced at Liu Han again and said softly

"If you want to be like me, catch up with me, and if you don't believe me, then stand aside and watch how I finally finish this myth that seems to you to never come true!"
