Watching the fiery molten steel in front of him gradually cool into a steel ingot, Chen Jingtai once again fell into a trance: Is this really the 17th century? High-quality electric furnace, molten steel that has been repeatedly removed from impurities, advanced pre-furnace testing, beautiful molding sand mold...... All of this should be in the 21st century!

And the dilapidated factory that was demolished in the 21st century is just as good as this wild land - the smelting process without any quality control, the migrant workers who carry the crucible to pour molten steel into the trench in the open air, have to repair the broken steel plate with a welding torch because there are too many impurities after hot rolling......

......

Shaking his head back to reality, Chen Jingtai began to think about the future while accepting the congratulations of the happy guests from all walks of life. At present, although the first batch of molten steel is successfully baked, there are still many places that need to be improved in the steel mill: flue gas preheating charge system is necessary, steel rolling system is also necessary, cold and hot rolling must be available, hot rolling out of steel bars, cold rolling out of tinplate, after which of course is the machine tool, and the machine tool is followed by the stamping machine...... There is no end to children and grandchildren.

Another important point is to pay close attention to the self-production of various steelmaking additives, ladles, electrodes, cables and other consumables, which is the top priority for steel mills to sustain.

Traversal is now equivalent to forcibly lighting up a node in the middle of the steel tech tree, but the time for this node to light up is limited, and the rest of the nodes must be opened down as soon as possible to avoid stopping production due to consumables.

With the current spread of the crossing forces in the big people more and more, almost all aspects of production, life, military and medical care need to import materials to support consumption; Therefore, at present, the kiln base should be as close to the upstream of the manufacturing industry as possible, and the self-production rate of various basic consumables will be increased, otherwise, the imported material box will evolve into a consumable supplement box sooner or later, and the development rhythm of the whole system will stagnate.

......

After the successful production of the first furnace of steel ingots, it immediately received the treatment of the forum's big red top post, and almost all departments congratulated them under the post.

And Chen Jingtai, who has swelled into a dog, is also proud to list a long list of imported equipment designated by his old man under the post: hot-rolled line, cold-rolled line, various supporting smelting equipment, various combined machining centers, various types of CNC turning and milling machine tools, various ......

The old and young masters were still in the Pleasant Goat one moment, and the next moment they were kneeling.

Faced with the situation of noisy porridge, in the end, after a comprehensive analysis of the situation, the big office came forward to explain: there is not so much steel for rolling at present. Because for a period of time in the future, most of the raw wrought iron shipped from Hangzhou does not need to be smelted into steel, only the refined cast iron after secondary refining is enough.

For example, the skeleton of shipbuilding, the base of various industrial equipment, and the shell are mostly cast iron, so the rolling line still has to wait. Now there is no need for these equipment to import pig iron, and the next step for steel mills should be to build their own chemical iron furnaces, and then import a little supporting machine tools and thermal auxiliary pipelines.

So when is it time to get on the device? It depends on the progress of the shipyard.

The strategic attitude of the Commander is currently shrinking, because the Crossing Crowd does not have the fist to fight - the fleet, the indigenous crew, the unlimited use of homemade guns, ammunition and artillery, all necessary for the attack, are now not handy.

Only when a fleet is formed, and it is a Chinese-style fleet similar in appearance to the Canton and Fu ships, can the navy send pilot ships to lead the fleet through many obstacles, go to the docks of Guangzhou or Fuzhou, and find a way to buy bulk commodities - "population", grain, raw and wrought iron, iron ore.

Therefore, before the shipyard broke out the fleet, or before the Zheng Zhilong problem was dealt with, the senior staff could only passively receive external resources, which was very inefficient, but there was no way, and at present, they could only endure it.

...... After Chen Jingtai's lion opened his mouth and was blocked back, the people who ate melons breathed a sigh of relief, if this goods succeeded, then at least in the first half of this year, everyone will have to see him alone, this can't be tolerated, imported materials, everyone has a share is the king......

......

Liang Lotian and Mi Shuo were sitting on the electric tricycle, one was smoking silently, and the other was fanning the wind with a hat, looking very leisurely.

At present, there are a total of 4 electric tricycles, two in the Ministry of Infrastructure, one in the kiln base, and one in the Ministry of Farms.

Liang Lotian and Mi Shuo are the current kings of the farm department.

The Ministry of Farms does not currently have a farm.

Since crossing the occupation of the people, Liang Lotian and his people who are engaged in agriculture are basically in an invisible state. There is no way, all the land is in a state of wilderness, and there are wild people running on it, and floaters are floating, which cannot be done by a farmer with a hoe.

Liang Letian They are known as the Farm Department, in fact, there has been no farm for them to reclaim, since occupying the majority, they basically have no sense of existence, and the most work they usually do is to eat grass, cough ...... Plant grass.

Idle is also idle...... Starting from the Chihkan area, after many barren grasslands were burned down, Liang Letian and his men instructed their farmers to trim the salted land, and then sow salty grass seeds on the spot.

The seeds are bought from Hangzhou - salty grass is a kind of rush, salt-alkali tolerant, good elasticity, strong tensile force, bright color, is an excellent straw mat straw shoe grass, Taiwan in the Japanese occupation period, Beitou rush is a very famous specialty.

The Tainan Plain is an alluvial plain, and in the 17th century, nearly one-third of the land in the coastal zone was saline soil, and the beautiful Tainan farms that looked like a green carpet in later generations were all the result of large-scale land transformation.

Liang Letian They have neither the ability nor the mood to engage in any salted transformation. The cultivated area of the Tainan Plain in later generations is 3,200 square kilometers, and for the pitiful volume of the traverser, it is like a mouse falling into a rice bowl.

So you can only just plant a little grass and pull it down.

Later, with the expansion of the Chihkan New Area, they opened experimental fields on the periphery of the new area, planting some vegetables and some salt-alkali tolerant crops - sweet sorghum and alfalfa.

This half-dead situation lasted until the Tainan Suppression General settled the Madou Society. The princes of the big office, who have long been anxious about the current situation of agricultural development, have made appointments with Liang Letian and Mi Shuo in succession these days, asking the two former agricultural technicians to take action as soon as possible to solve the serious problem of grain procurement for the regime.

Liang Mi and the others extorted an electric three-wheeler from the big office today, and then booked a German Feint electric tractor, and still went out with a haha, and disappeared when they got on the electric three-wheeler.

"Do you still want to produce your own food?" What about nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, pesticides, and good seeds?

The two of them went out of the door of the commercial hall, and while sitting on the electric tricycle, they raised their middle fingers and scolded a few ignorant court princes. As he spoke, he ran to the wharf, shouted at the people to lift the three wheels onto the boat, and then crossed the Taijiang River, starting from Chikan, all the way to the base of the kiln area, and the electric three wheels did not stop to pass the newly built temporary wooden bridge in Xingang Creek and went straight to the opposite bank.

...... Yes, the newly selected farm of the Farm Department a few days ago is on the other side of Xingang Creek, across the river from the kiln area.
