Lin Qingliang, who has been eating and living here for the past few days, has become dark and thin, and his eyes are slightly puffy. But as soon as he saw me, he came to his senses, pulled me excitedly, and chattered endlessly about the process of the birth of cement.

I also constantly praise the cement firing method I provide. Because of the production process I provided, the exploration time is not long, and the development process of cement has become very smooth, and it has been completed after only dozens of tests.

At present, the biggest problem is that the volume of the vertical kiln is too small, there are still some places that need to be improved in the structure, and the efficiency can not meet the large-scale production.

When I heard the newly designed vertical kiln, my eyes lit up, but I didn't know anything about it!

Originally, I thought that it would be good to be able to produce qualified cement, but who knew that Lin Qingliang went further and designed a new type of vertical kiln, which really impressed me.

I hurriedly asked: "I don't know where this vertical kiln is new, and can its effect really increase the output exponentially?" ”

Lin Qingliang smiled mysteriously, pulled a dark, thin and stocky young man with big eyes and bright eyes next to me in front of me and said: "My nephew Lin Jinke is a baby, these new vertical kilns are designed by him, Jin'er, you tell Master Li about it!" ”

I looked at the medium-sized, energetic young man in front of me, and there were still some doubts in my heart, although I had met him before, I still couldn't believe that the new type of vertical kiln came from his hands.

I said in disbelief, "Oh! You are Lin Jin, I heard that you can design a new type of vertical kiln, but you don't know what are the novelties? ”

This shy young man, who was still a little restrained, heard me ask about the design of the new vertical kiln, and immediately lifted his spirits, and said happily: "Report to the commander, this kind of vertical kiln designed in the next is somewhat new, but it has not been tested in practice. Speaking of which, this mainly relies on the guidance of the second uncle, which is beneficial. ”

"Tell me about it!" I smiled and nodded.

"The main purpose of this new vertical kiln we designed is also to increase production. However, the volume is increased several times, and the upper and lower grates that can be adjusted at will are added, which can not only adjust the number of coal intake through the coal plate, but also adjust the position of the grate and the thickness of the coal seam by hand crank, so that the furnace temperature is maintained near the required temperature. ”

"And in order to ensure that the air volume required for combustion is appropriate, I have improved the design of the bellows, so that the air supply outlet has been increased to more than six, so as to meet the needs of combustion."

"Of course, this is just my preliminary idea, and the next step I want to design and install the real thing, and a few more tests should be fine."

I was overjoyed to hear this, although I don't know much about this, but it sounds like what he said makes a lot of sense, if it can be successfully tested and put into use, this is a great invention!

After listening to his detailed description, I vaguely felt that the so-called new vertical kiln in his mouth was probably still in use at the end of the 20th century, and this achievement is really remarkable!

I didn't expect that there were such characters among the ancient people, and their thinking and consciousness had been thousands of years ahead of them.

The most important thing for such a talent is to let it go, and reward it in a timely manner, so as to stimulate more inspiration and talent.

I patted Lin Jin on the shoulder excitedly and said, "It makes sense, it makes sense, I think your idea can work, and the next step is to let it go and improve it according to the experiment." If you can really increase the production significantly, it will be perfect. ”

"Don't worry, Dashuai, I used to make some stoves for roasting tea under the guidance of my second uncle, although it can't be compared with the current vertical kiln, but the effect is still good."

"Although these two new vertical kilns are still in the design stage, if they are completed, if they are in normal operation, I estimate that they can reach the output of five or six thousand catties of cement per day, which can fully meet the construction needs of large buildings, and there should be some surplus, and others are not a problem to repair bridges and pave roads."

"What's more, the materials required for these two vertical kilns are not very much, and if the schedule is tight and the construction speed is planned, they can be completed within a month. So. The production of cement can be guaranteed. It's just that there is still a shortage of manpower at present, and I hope that the commander will make arrangements as soon as possible. ”

"Hmmm! I will solve the manpower problem as soon as possible. It's all to blame for Ben Shuai's carelessness, I didn't expect the cement to be successful so quickly. I originally wanted to wait for the cement to be successfully fired, and then arrange a large number of people for your use, but I didn't expect to almost delay the business. ”

"Say it! If you have any requirements, Ben Shuai will arrange them for you immediately, and the construction of the vertical kiln will never be delayed. ”

Lin Jin raised his eyebrows and continued: "Dashuai, in order to build Pingyang Pass as soon as possible, I have a small suggestion below, I hope Dashuai can adopt it." ”

I was stunned, Lin Jin actually knew about my plan to build Pingyang Pass, which was a bit of a big surprise to me. You must know that there are very few people who know about this matter, only a few people such as Lin Yi and Jian Zheng, and Lin Qingliang has only heard of it, how did Lin Jin know so clearly?

I turned my eyes to look at Lin Qingliang, who knew the inside story, and Lin Qingliang smiled awkwardly and said: "My nephew is different, good at figuring out other people's intentions, I just said that I want to produce cement for the government and use it to build large buildings." He asked me if I was going to build a pass to serve as a screen in the west of Yunnan. ”

"Huh! I also had nothing to hide, so I had to tell him. Dashuai, don't worry, only our uncle and nephew here know about this situation, and they will never spread it. ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay for Lin Jin to know, I'll have to borrow from him in the future!" By the way, you just said that you had a little suggestion, I don't know what you want to say? As long as it is conducive to the needs of customs construction, I am not unsure. ”

"Dashuai, since you don't dislike the kid's humility and ignorance, then I'll try to say it, if it makes sense, please do it as soon as possible."

"Since I learned that we are going to build Pingyang Pass in Yunnan, I have been thinking hard for many days. This place is different from other places in the face of the Great Righteous Ning Kingdom, and it must always be more secretive. After much consideration, I thought of a construction plan that I thought could be considered a proper one, which could not only speed up the construction, but also be carried out properly and secretly, and also save a lot of manpower and material resources. Maybe there are imperfections, but it's just my family's words, I don't know whether to talk about it or not, and please show it to the marshal. ”

I nodded approvingly, and Lin Jin continued: "I think that no matter what kind of building is built, it should make the best use of people and materials, and if it is arranged properly, it will definitely get twice the result with half the effort." What I think is that the current Binh Duong Pass has not yet started construction, and the new vertical kiln has not yet been really produced, and of course there is no way to talk about cement production. ”

"But this idle time cannot be wasted. According to the following opinion, before large-scale construction, we can first close the official road out of Pingyang Pass, open another path from the side to bypass the construction site of Pingyang Pass, and temporarily set up checkpoints at both ends of the trail to prevent idle people from entering the construction site of Pingyang Pass, and completely isolate that place. In this way, not only can the construction of Binh Duong Pass be carried out without distraction, but also the passage of official roads will not be delayed, and at the same time, it can also have the effect of preventing the leakage of secrets. ”

"Secondly, before the vertical kiln is built, a part of the manpower can be arranged to be responsible for leveling the foundation and taking stones on the mountain of Pingyang Pass; Another part of the manpower in Jiuxiang to pick up local materials, respectively mining limestone, clay, iron ore, gypsum and other materials, for the firing of cement to prepare the preliminary material preparation. ”

"Thirdly, in order to facilitate transportation and improve the efficiency of material transportation, I arranged for some skilled craftsmen to make some two-wheeled row cars with me."

"This two-wheeled row car was designed by me only last year, it pulls more, runs fast, is very suitable for mountain transportation, and the damage is greatly reduced, and the effect is far better than the previous types of horse-drawn carriages. It is not only durable, but also the transportation capacity can be increased several times, which can completely solve the transportation problem of cement and other materials. ”

"In the end, I will work with my second uncle to continue to improve the vertical kiln in the process of building it, and if there are enough manpower and the test goes well, two vertical kilns can be built within a month."

"And by then, all the preparations have been completed, and the construction of Binh Duong Pass will be greatly accelerated or even completed ahead of schedule. I don't know what the big handsome thinks? ”
