Zhangbaqiu Village, Huangzhuang Township, Gangcheng County, by the river, in the iron-making furnace yard of Ma Huanchang's house. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The weather is getting colder and colder, but the two small iron-making furnaces are steaming the whole yard, especially next to the iron-making furnace, the temperature is about sixty or seventy degrees. The iron-making workers, dressed in canvas overalls, also always threw themselves into the furnace, and after putting on the coke, they hurriedly left the furnace for some distance.

At noon today, the ironworkers hired by the Ma family ate chicken, and they were much more energetic than usual in the afternoon.

There was more than half an hour before the iron was released, and although it was already more than one o'clock in the morning, Ma Huanchang didn't dare to sleep at all.

The smaller the iron-making furnace, the higher the technical requirements, once the temperature is not well controlled, the molten iron contains too much slag, and the investment of more than 1,000 yuan in the whole furnace can be completely wasted.

But fortunately, Ma Huanchang's technology is the highest among the people who are engaged in iron-making furnaces in the whole area, so the materials in their furnaces are always the best.

Thinking back to what his son said to him just now, a smile appeared on the corner of Ma Huanchang's mouth.

"Wang Xiangzhong, Wang Xiangzhong, I didn't expect you to have today! Fourth, your revenge is finally about to be avenged! Our Ma family can finally raise their eyebrows in Taohualing Village! ”

Ma Huanchang's heart was secretly proud, and at the same time, his eyes were staring at the tap of the small iron-making furnace.

Now, the mouth of the small furnace where the molten iron flows is still sealed with mud. When the temperature is at its highest, all the scrap iron in the furnace is turned into molten iron, which will flow out of the molten iron outlet, flow into the mold basket with stone cotton on the wooden frame, and then put it on the open space on the side, cool down, and remove the mold basket, which is a piece of square-shaped steelmaking pig iron, which can be sold to Luzhong Iron and Steel Factory for money.

At this time, the temperature requirements are very high, so all the workers can not slack off, keep climbing to the furnace mouth, and observe the furnace temperature. On the side, high-power blowers are constantly working.

"Boss, it's almost!"

The iron-making worker carefully inserted a long steel bar into the iron-making furnace, then quickly lifted it out, observed the situation that the steel bar head was about to turn into water, and then shouted to Ma Huanchang.

Ma Huanchang glanced at the end of the steel bar that was pulled out, and shouted: "Open, seal!" ”

As soon as everyone listened to the boss's order, two workers carried the mold basket, and one worker held up the long steel bar, and quickly came to the tap outlet.

"Be careful! Idea safe! ”

At this time, it is the most prone to safety accidents, and the molten iron that flows out has a high temperature of 2,000 degrees, and if it is cheap to a person, it will immediately burn a big hole in the skin. And if the person who is responsible for opening and sealing the steel bar does not operate properly, too much molten iron will be released, and it will even cause an explosion in an instant, and the three people will be cremated in an instant.

Once in Luzhong Iron and Steel Plant, there was such a tragedy, a person in the opening and sealing of the improper operation, accidentally fell into the molten iron, the people next to the emergency to pull, but only pulled out a leather shoe, not even the bones out.

The person holding the steel bar wears thick gloves on his hands, and then carefully stabs the steel bar towards the seal.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

With a hula, the steel bar was inserted into the furnace through the seal, and then the person who carried the mold basket hurriedly put the mold basket under the exit, and then, the person who took the steel bar slowly and carefully pulled out the steel bar.

Ma Huanchang's heart rose to his throat, this is not the first time that he has been out of iron, but every time he is extra careful.

The steel bar was pulled out, and the molten iron flowed out along the small hole opened by the steel bar.

Fortunately, the speed at which the molten iron flowed out was neither fast nor slow, and the basket was soon full.

Then the two workers hurriedly lifted the mold basket to the open space next to it, and the man with the steel bar immediately blocked the iron outlet with the steel bar.

At this time, Ma Huanchang breathed a sigh of relief. Although this business is profitable, it is also a big worry.

Ma Huanchang ran to the side of the basket and nodded with satisfaction, the molten iron this time is in good condition, and it seems that it can be sold at a good price again.

"Brothers, do your best!"

Ma Huanchang shouted happily, and the other iron-making furnace on the other side had already begun to produce iron.

Tonight, two furnaces of iron were smelted at once, and at this time, Ma Huanchang earned 25,600 yuan, which is really sweeter than eating honey.

After the iron is started, the workers can't stop, and when they stop, they can't get the iron when the temperature in the furnace drops.

Seeing that there were more and more mold baskets on the open space, and the molten iron in the mold basket slowly cooled and became an iron block like a tofu block, Ma Huanchang was very happy.

I have been the village chief all my life, I have been farming all my life, and I think I am a figure with a face in Taohualing Village. However, since Wang Xiangzhong was born and became the richest person in Taohualing Village, his status in the village is getting worse day by day. And now, since he has operated two small iron furnaces and saved enough raw materials, he can earn two or three thousand yuan by smelting iron once, and he feels that sooner or later he will become the lord of Taohualing Village, and what he said in Taohualing Village will still be resounding sooner or later.

The six workers worked for more than two hours before they put all the molten iron into the mold basket and placed it in the open space.

The molten iron was discharged, and then the workers could not rest. Because there is still a lot of waste slag in the railway, now with the high temperature in the iron furnace, the waste slag is liquid, and it is necessary to release all of it as soon as possible. Otherwise, when the furnace temperature drops, the slag cools down to a solid state, and it will be troublesome to get it out.

The molten iron was almost finished, and then a worker used steel bars to open all the mud seals on the tap hole, and then quickly ran to a safe place in the distance. Then, I saw that the liquid slag in the iron furnace flowed out quickly along the outlet, and soon gathered into a large pool on the ground paved with sand.

The slag cooled quickly, and the surface became solid, but the inside was still liquid.

At this time, the workers finally had some rest.

When the slag that flowed out was almost cooled, two workers took an iron claw hook to hook the slag that had cooled into a solid state, and pulled it to the other side of the special place where the slag was stored.

Then, the next day, when all the slag has cooled, the workers pull it all into the river.

After several months of accumulation, a large amount of slag has accumulated in the river. Pollution, of course, goes without saying, but unfortunately no one is aware of it yet.

The slag polluted the water source, which was the reason why Wang Zheng was resolutely opposed to building this small iron furnace in the upper reaches of the Muwen River. Now, a large amount of slag is being carried out in the lower reaches of the Muwen River, which has polluted the lower reaches of the Muwen River.
