A few days passed, and Director Yang of the ironmaking plant came to Meng Ming, saying that today's iron-making furnace and steel-making furnace were about to open, and asked Meng Ming to observe and guide. Meng Ming rode away on horseback, and when he arrived at the ironworks, he saw the raging flames and a heat wave rushing towards him. The furnace is busy preparing to release molten iron and molten steel. Everyone waited for me to give the order, Meng Ming said to open the furnace, only to see the fiery red molten iron flowing out of the furnace mouth, and the furnace workers below began to drain the molten iron and make iron ingots. Meng Ming focused on the situation of the steelmaking furnace, which was driven by water conservancy to roll steel bars with a diameter of 1.5 centimeters and 2 centimeters.

In particular, the price comparison of steel rolling mills is easy to hurt people, so you must pay attention to protection. Meng Ming first asked the furnace worker to put a little molten steel to see if it met the requirements, and asked Director Yang to take a look, he knew how to fry steel and knew the standard of steel. When he saw it, he shouted excitedly, and Meng Ming also breathed a sigh of relief, Meng Ming was actually quite nervous in his heart. Director Yang said excitedly: "Boss, steel was quite difficult to practice in the past, but now it's good, refining this big furnace at once, the efficiency is thousands of times, it's a pioneering feat" Meng Ming calculated. The volume of this blast furnace is 17 square meters, and the molten steel of this furnace is 130 tons. It can make four furnaces of steel in one day, and it can get 520 tons of steel, and 15,000 tons in a month. The annual steel output of the whole Great Song Dynasty is less than 40,000 tons. Meng Ming's task at this time was to produce enough steel bars to build a taller building.

In June of the fourth year of Tianxi, the sky was sunny and rainy. Meng Ming came to the construction site of the university again, the steel bars have been transported, Meng Ming planned again, he also designed the building distribution map of the university, and divided the university into teaching area, academic management area, student dormitory area, teacher living area, sports training area, canteen, library, as well as green area and garden landscape. Meng Ming handed over the drawings to Uncle Xiang, and now Uncle Xiang also appointed a director on the construction site, a middle-aged craftsman named Fan Datong. Meng Ming called him to him and told him something detailed and crucial.

First of all, each dormitory in the student dormitory must have its own bathroom, equipped with a wash basin and siphon toilet, which can accommodate six students, and each student has his own cupboard for personal belongings. Each student needs to bring their own bedding, and the school will distribute a set of quilt covers, bed sheets, and pillowcases to each student free of charge. Each floor of the dormitory building has a large separate bathroom and shower room. This is preliminary planning.

The student dormitory building was built in advance, both of which are four-story buildings, all of which are reinforced concrete structures, Meng Ming first let them play prefabricated frames, and then poured concrete, and then explained some precautions, the key is that there are no mixing tools and lifting tools, and now there are many people, and manual mixing of gray and sand can be. It is difficult to carry bricks and gray sand with more than two layers, and it is somewhat time-consuming and laborious. I designed a relatively simple pulley set and mounted it on a sturdy pine frame. There are special workers responsible for lifting bricks and ash sand, which greatly improves the efficiency and saves time and effort.

After three months of busy construction by construction workers, the university has been built in full shape, with five two-story teaching buildings and two four-story student dormitories completed; A canteen covering an area of fifteen acres, the restaurant inside can accommodate 1,000 people at the same time. There is also a two-story library on ten acres of land. In addition, there is a two-story single apartment, each single teacher is divided into a single room, and there are two small rooms in it, which can cook, wash, and have a small bathroom; There are also two three-story family buildings, each of which is three bedrooms, two living rooms and one bathroom, about 120 square meters, and the current H type, with the living room facing the sun in the middle, and the two bedrooms on both sides. There are five units in each family building, and each unit has six units, for a total of 60 households. The roofs and bungalows are all sloped spires, hung with red tiles, and now the waterproofing of the flat roofs is not good, and there are spires to prevent water leakage.

Now in the installation of doors and windows, through the indoor sewer pipes, for the sewer pipes using ceramic pipes, joints with asphalt seals, this life found oil, is found in the previous life of Yan'an area, according to records, Shen Kuo in his book "Mengxi Pen Talk" wrote: "Dun, Yan territory has oil...... It is quite like pure lacquer, burning like hemp, but the smoke is very thick, and the curtain is very dark...... This thing will be great in the world, and it will be done from the rest. Cover oil at most, and be born in the earth endlessly, not as pine as sometimes exhausted. Meng Ming wrote down the characteristics of the asphalt, handed it over to Wang Gui to go to Yanzhou to find it according to the map, and escorted it back after finding it. In the end, Wang Gui found the location according to Meng Ming's words, and finally transported fifteen cars back, which was enough. The installation of doors, windows and pipes will be completed in about two months.

The next step was to set up desks in the school building, and each classroom had a three-meter-long, one-and-a-half-meter-high blackboard. In front of the blackboard there is a podium, three meters long, three meters wide, and twenty centimeters high, and a lectern and a chair are placed on the podium. There are five rows of desks underneath, a row of six tables, six chairs, and a total of six people seated. There are thirty students in one classroom. In the teacher's living quarters, the teacher buys his own home, and the school reimburses half of the cost.

The final finishing work was the hardening of the road surface in the school, cleaning up the garbage, planting trees and grasses, landscaping, playground decoration, etc., and finally I set up a statue of Confucius. Finally, on September 20, the fourth year of Tianxi, the school was completed. But there is still a lot of work to be done, including school publicity, student recruitment, teacher recruitment, arts and sciences classes, curriculum compilation, and so on. It is not easy to enroll students after the new year.
