The power of industrial magic reform lies in the fact that no matter how expensive things are, they can become the price of cabbage.

The water tower transportation system greatly saves transportation costs, and the next step is to build the specific facilities of the gypsum steam plant.

Lizhouqiao also has a detailed design for the gypsum steam plant, and the management department is the same as the steam mill, which is divided into six departments: production, handling, warehouse, weighing room, management, and account room.

This is a set of standardized and efficient management institutions, and the steam plants will basically build management institutions according to this blueprint in the future.

The main difficulty of this gypsum steam plant was how to use steam power to mass-produce cheap gypsum raw materials.

The production department is the top priority.

The production department is divided into three groups, blasting group, crushing group and grinding unit.

The gypsum material is beaten down from the mine, which is normally beaten by manpower, the efficiency is too slow, and it costs a lot of money to hire coolies.

The gypsum steam factories were all switched to gunpowder blasting, and a large amount of gypsum raw materials were blasted directly from the mines.

It's just that the civilian use of gunpowder is a problem.

In order to make money, the imperial court opened up the trading of bird guns, and in order to prevent the widespread use of bird guns, the production and trade of gunpowder lead bullets were extremely tightly controlled.

Chongzhen's attention to gunpowder far exceeded the expectations of the court officials, not only let Wang Chengen personally supervise it, but also issued a tough law despite the opposition of the cabinet.

However, all those who made gunpowder privately were exiled to Liaodong and used as military households.

What kind of life did the military households of the Ming Dynasty live, and which of the bureaucrats and squires was not a clear man, after the promulgation of this law, it immediately caused a great shock in the government and the opposition.

But no matter how the court officials gave direct advice, Chongzhen always did not let go.

This also led to the fact that gunpowder lead bullet became a strange commodity, and in order to live in two words, a group of desperate bureaucratic squires soon appeared.

After three years of Chongzhen, the East Factory is not as good as before, and the Beiping Firearms General Bureau buys and sells the silver of the bird gun every year, and half of it enters the pocket of the East Factory.

Wang Chengen had the money, and he began to build a new team in the East Factory, all of which were ruthless and loyal.

In the first year, more than a dozen workshops that privately made gunpowder and lead bullets were investigated and dealt with, and one of them was a relative of the emperor.

No matter how Empress Zhou pleaded, including the emperor's relatives, all of them were confiscated and exiled to Liaodong.

In Chongzhen's eyes, gunpowder is the grain of sand that can't tolerate anything, and whoever moves will die.

No one can solve this matter in the whole world, and the prince of Fu Wang has no tricks, but it couldn't be simpler for Zhu Shun.

Chongzhen now wishes that Zhu Shun would like him to do something, isn't it just to buy some gunpowder for public and private use, and it is not that he will not give silver, and he will also take it seriously.

Just a little gunpowder.

That is, Zhu Shun, changed to someone else, this point is enough to be exiled.

The gunpowder group is a technical activity, especially the fixed-point blasting requires strict training and an accurate grasp of the dose.

The question of the team leader was handed over to Yang Baisui, which was a test for him.

The crushing group is to crush the gypsum blocks blown up by the gunpowder group, crush them into the size of stones, or even the size of sand grains, and hand them over to the final grinding unit.

The small workshop economy of the Ming Dynasty broke the gypsum blocks, or used manpower, and recruited a large number of coolies to smash the stones.

It is time-consuming and laborious, and the daily output value is pitiful.

In response to this, Zhu Shun sent a letter to Bi Mingjue, the sixth disciple of the Beijing Normal University Hall, asking him to set up a research team as soon as possible and study the steam hammer, one of the four major industrial machine tools, in the shortest possible time.

The crushing of ore is normally done with a crusher, and without a crusher, it can be replaced by a steam hammer.

As long as a concrete protective wall is built around the perimeter to prevent flying stones from hurting people, it can be put into use.

The small stones crushed by the crushing group are transported to the mill unit through the waterway.

The gypsum is basically completed by the grinding unit to be rolled into powder, and the next step is to hand it over to the weighing room and store it in the warehouse.

The mill of the mill unit is very easy to solve, Zhu Shun has a ready-made mill in his hand, as long as the mill of the steam mill is slightly modified, it can be used to grind gypsum scraps.

It's just that the consumption of the grinding disc is much faster, after all, the steam mill is used to grind flour, and here it is used to grind hard gypsum.

After three or four days of research, coupled with the specific data obtained from actual measurements, the construction of the first ore steam factory in Daming began.

Li Zhouqiao and some talented students who are good at infrastructure construction have been eating and living in the ore steam factory during this time, and they are full of passion to lead the craftsmen to build.

Zhu Shun and Yang Baisui stood by and watched, and they couldn't help but be infected by the passion of these genius students like Li Zhouqiao, and they all had smiling faces when they spoke.

In the production of gypsum materials, many problems have been solved one after another, and now the biggest problem is still the safety problem.

It's already the summer solstice, and the weather is relatively hot.

Zhu Shun took Yang Baisui to sit in a pergola nearby, scooped a scoop of water from the water tank, and drank it happily.

After drinking a small half scoop in one go, the heat on Zhu Shun's body disappeared a lot, and he opened the folding fan in his hand to fan the cool breeze and said: "The gypsum material is finally ground into powder, and there will be a problem of dust explosion." ”

"You should know what a dust blast is."

In order to build a good factory, Yang Baisui went to Song Shihui, who supervised the construction of 27 steam mills, and asked the construction process in detail.

From the excavation of the foundation, to the size of the steam plant, and even the approximate size of the public toilet needs to be built, they are all carefully asked.

is really worthy of being the son of Yang Bald, with this carefulness, even if he goes to Liaodong as a Tang Rider, he can also make general achievements.

Song Shihui cautiously explained the problem of dust explosion three times, and Yang Baisui was very impressed: "The mountain chief can rest assured, he must arrange craftsmen to supervise the dust explosion problem." ”

"There is also the issue of epidemic prevention, and a series of epidemic prevention buildings will also be built."

"It's just that the number of craftsmen hasn't been decided yet, and the number of mountain chiefs is appropriate."

Zhu Shun decided to delegate power to Yang Baisui, so he had the intention of cultivating him, and he would not ask about many things: "The number of craftsmen, and who is used as the manager, you can make your own decisions about these things." ”

"Except for the bookkeeper, I will ask the family to arrange a few bookkeepers to come over, and you can decide the rest."

Yang Baisui didn't expect Zhu Shun to give him such a big force, hehe Yile, rubbed his palms, and prepared to make a big effort, striving to get the three ore steam factories up and running as soon as possible.

The production of raw materials for cement has been solved, and the construction of the steam plant is staring at Li Zhouqiao and Yang Baisui here, so there should be no problem.

Zhu Shun walked back to the cement plant, ready to build all the supporting facilities of the cement plant at one time.

Now that the cement is there, the next thing is the problem of concrete.
