It was calm inside Anshan Villa, but not long after walking outside the village, you could hear loud noises everywhere. For Ji Kang, who likes to be quiet, he enjoys this kind of voice boiling sound very much at the moment.

Going to the wide avenue at the foot of Anshan, the bandits who were caught were very strong.

Ox-drawn vehicles and wheelbarrows can be seen everywhere on the road. That's right, it was Ji Kang who was praised by the founding marshal in his previous life, and the wheelbarrow seen in the Huaihai Battle film. Needless to say, of course, it was designed by our Ji Kang Gongzi.

Everyone is on the road, and it is still far from the industrial area mentioned by Gongzi Ji Kang. You can find the billowing smoke coming out of the foot of Anshan, which is said to be the work of some coking plant built by Gongzi Ji Kang.

And now many gentry and officials in Liaodi have used this so-called coal material instead of the original charcoal to cook and heat, and there is a tendency to gradually spread to the people.

Subsequently, the private industry related to coal is also rapidly emerging and developing. Even the newly built houses now have to build coal stoves and chimneys in the houses, which the government has repeatedly emphasized, saying that they are afraid of poisoning. This made many people understand why some people died when they used to burn braziers in their houses to keep warm. It's not something that stumbles into evil things, it's a poison from the burning of charcoal.

When we arrived at the industrial zone at the foot of Anshan, there were one after another cars pulling coal along the way. As everyone knows, most of this is the coal excavated by many merchants who have sent in accordance with the agreement. After unloading the coal, most of them went to Xinchang to buy salt and other materials after being cleaned up a little, and then returned to Xiangping.

Now Xiangping and Yangle in Liaodi have gradually become commodity trading places in Yan and its surrounding Donghu, Goguryeo and many other countries. Pyeongchang County has also developed into the largest goods warehouse base in Liaodi.

After entering the industrial area, the road surface is generally hardened with so-called cement. I saw the big arc mountain not far away, which has been surrounded by a dragon-like road from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. And the people pushing the wheelbarrow on one side of the road, like ants, shuttle back and forth. I also saw many people on the other side of the road, paving the road with cement.

And the factory of this steelmaking mill that everyone entered has already built more than a dozen tall factories in the innermost. In the factory where everyone entered, there was a sign of "utensils room" hanging at the door, and there was a dense sound of "clanging" knocking from inside.

Huang Yong, deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau, gritted his teeth, stepped forward and whispered to Ji Kang: "Childe, there are many in this artifact room, and the new craftsmanship that Childe said, it is best not to let so many people in." ”

Ji Kang was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and nodded, glanced at Huang Yong approvingly, turned to everyone and said, "We won't go in." ”

Immediately, he said to Ding Dashan, the director of the steel plant: "Director Ding, you go to the warehouse and take out the few weapons that you have built before, so that you can take a look." ”

"No."

Ding Dashan took a few people who managed the room and hurriedly ran into the room. After coming out, several people followed behind him each held a package.

Ji Kang looked at the saber in Ding Dashan's hand, which was still wrapped in linen, and said to General Shi Yong: "How about you look at this knife?" ”

"No."

Shi Yong took the package in Ding Dashan's hand and slowly opened it, and everyone's eyes lit up. This new sword is not like the straight bronze sword worn by the others, the body of the sword is curved, and the handle of the knife also has a gauntlet.

After slowly pulling the knife out of its scabbard, everyone's eyes widened. The overall blade of the knife is bright, with a single-sided blade and a knife groove, and the curved tip in front is sharper than the bronze sword tip that everyone is equipped with now.

Ji Kang turned around and said to the people in front of him: "You don't need to chop logs, which of you can use the bronze sword you are wearing to try this knife in Shi Yong's hand?" ”

Ji Mao, the old manager who had stayed in the army, stood up and said, "I'll try it." ”

Then he walked to the side with Shi Yong, slowly pulled out the bronze sword at his waist, and shouted to Shi Yong, "Come." ”

Shi Yong shouted: "Be careful." ”

grabbed a few steps and slashed at the boss Ji Mao. Ji Mao held the sword in a gear, and with a "collapse", the bronze sword in his hand was broken into two. And Shi Yong and the old manager Ji Mao also jumped backwards in a hurry.

And everyone shouted "ah", with shocked expressions on their faces.

Jun Xiangjuxin, who had been the commander of the army, walked up to Shi Yong excitedly. took the knife in Shi Yong's hand, and cut it at the log next to him that was used to test the knife, and the log was broken.

The old man was excited, slowly holding the knife in both hands, with an intoxicated expression on his face, shouting: "Childe, artifact!" The artifact of the army, the artifact of the country! ”

And everyone was excited. And Xiao Shi dared to pout, and his heart said that this is another artifact!

"Childe, isn't this what you call the new material steel?" The old man asked excitedly.

Ji Kang nodded and said to everyone: "Yes, it is made of new material steel." ”

Ju Xin asked again: "Childe, are knives made of steel of such quality?" ”

Ji Kang nodded again and replied, "Yes, it's all of such quality." ”

The crowd was jubilant again.

Ji Kang pointed to the Great Arc Mountain not far away, and said to everyone: "Ladies and gentlemen, as long as we use the iron ore of one thousandth, no, one thousandth of this mountain to refine the steel, we can fully arm hundreds of thousands of soldiers in our entire Yan Kingdom. ”

Everyone also turned around like Ji Kang. Looking at the big arc mountain with a longing and obsessive face.

Look at the dagger that digs deep into the log, revealing only the handle of the knife, easily inserts the spear with red tassels in the log, and looks at the arrow that shoots into the target in the distance covered in the armor of the current sergeant, and the feathered arrow that is drawn out without the slightest damage.

Everyone at the scene went crazy. Jun Xiangju Xin was swinging all over his body, General Shi Yong was jumping and jumping, the boss Ji Mao didn't know what he was talking about, Huang Yong was bright, and Su Qing was holding these things and shouting, "This is all money!" It's all money! Ten thousand gold! Even the sergeants who were on guard around and saw this were full of excitement.

Jun Xiangju Xin calmed down his mood, looked at Ji Kang with a smile on his face, and said: "Now I know why Gongzi has to get this so-called steel out before he wants to go back, even the old man is in a hurry now!" ”

After that, he laughed with the others.

Ji Kang really didn't expect to come to this world. I never thought of building a township steel plant that I participated in and destroyed - regarded as backward technology, serious pollution, and excessive loss. It is so difficult to establish an era in which people would not talk about it in their previous life, and it would be so difficult for steel factories that were regarded as "dirt garbage".

At this time, pig iron had already appeared in Yan Kingdom, and Ji Kang also asked Ding Dashan and others to make two iron pots in Jidu. After coming to Liaodi, he and Ding Dayou and other blacksmiths discussed the entire process together many times.

After watching their iron-making process in detail, Ji Kang improved part of the smelting process on this basis, mainly doing the following work:

One is to turn charcoal into coke to increase the smelting temperature;

The second is to design a hand-pulled bellows, the purpose of which is to inject oxygen into the coke of the steel furnace to increase the temperature;

Third, cement and refractory bricks were fired to increase the heat retention of the blast furnace.

The fourth is to use charcoal to remove impurities such as carbon, phosphorus and sulfur in the molten iron, so that the molten iron can be directly turned into steel.

Fifth, the forging procedure was established, and many new processes such as quenching, annealing, and normalizing were adopted.

Sixth, a small reservoir will be built by the Liao River, which flows through Anshan, and it is planned to use water power instead of manual forging.

The great country in his previous life, after the founding of the country, was also in a backward agricultural era like his current one.

And the fathers of the previous life don't know what method they used? How much did you suffer? What kind of motivation is it? In just a few decades, we have built a backward small peasant society into a powerful country with an annual output of 830 million tons of steel when we left.

But now, the steel-making furnace that I came to this world is about to be built, firing refractory bricks, refining coal, improving cement, hand-pulled blowers, and so on. Coupled with the complete refining process in his mind in his previous life, he was finally going to succeed.

Looking at the tall circular furnace built with cement and refractory bricks in the steel workshop as last time, let the people who have been training for the past year confirm the operation process and process again.

Ji Kang issued another order for refining: "Feed, ignite." ”

The whole workshop suddenly became busy.

After a few days, everyone came to the steel mill. What you see is smelted, neatly arranged pieces of steel bars and wrought iron. Ji Kang's eyes suddenly turned red, this is the technical capital that he came to this world!

Ji Kang said to Ding Dashan, who was standing next to him, following his mother, all the way from Zhao Kingdom to Liaodi, and at the same time with an excited face: "Ding Dashan listens to the seal. ”

Everyone was stunned, this is about to be sealed. Yan Guo has never given these craftsmen any official positions for hundreds of years, and according to the "Zhou Li", this is not allowed, this is ...... Is this his own son-in-law going to break the precedent?

"Feng Ding Dashan is the doctor of the Ministry of Industry and the director of Anshan Iron and Steel Plant."

"Feng Shi Xiaosong is a doctor in the Ministry of Industry and the director of Anshan Paper Mill."

"Feng Zhen is a doctor of the Ministry of Industry and the director of Anshan Textile Factory."

"Sealing ......"

There was a commotion among the surrounding people, and more craftsmen were excited.

Ji Kang looked at the many sealed craftsmen who were in tears and knelt down in front of him. Then look at the many officials who accompanied him, surprised, and then look at the many craftsmen who were regarded as pariahs in the distance.

Xiao Mian smiled, regardless of whether the people around him understood, and said slowly: "In my opinion, what you are engaged in is not a cheap business!" Now you are engaged in the greatest cause. You are great engineers, you are great scientists, and you are an important force in promoting the progress of history. ”

……

Historical records record: "...... At the end of the seventh year of King Wucheng, the emperor built the world's first iron and steel plant in Anshan, changed the old system, sealed everyone, and praised all craftsmen as engineers and scientists. It is known as the first year of industry ....... ”
