When Niu vigorously got the bonus of 5,000 yuan, he was still a little confused, from the effect of this thermometer, to the current degree of industrial production, for the overall improvement, there is still there, but it is not obvious.

It can't be like the previous catalyst, either the yield is greatly increased, or the cost is greatly reduced.

But in Zhao Xin's eyes, this is no less than the previous innovation.

Precise control represents a high yield rate, energy saving, and raw material savings, which is quite useful for large-scale production.

His invention only saved the entire cost by 2 wen at most, from 17 wen to 15 wen.

But this is already a hundred feet further, in the past, every compression of a text is very terrible, it is a variety of compression, and finally formed the current cost, each of which has a great effect on the future, not to mention this, in the current order environment, 2 Wen represents 800,000 per year.

This alone is enough to reward heavily, not to mention the improvement of the system he brings, the quality of iron will increase by 15%, and the quality of steel will increase by 7%, which seems to be a slight improvement, so that the overall quality, under the premise of no substantial increase in price, has risen to a very high level, and at the same time, the efficiency has been improved, steelmaking can save 12% of time, and ironmaking is 7%.

In steelmaking and ironmaking, the reverse performance is also normal, the temperature of iron is higher than the temperature of steel, this thermometer, more appropriate, is steelmaking, not ironmaking.

Although it is said that this blacksmith workshop is currently mainly smelting iron, but in the future, with the further proficiency of steelmaking furnaces and workers, it will definitely enter the field of steel, and only the popularization of large-scale steel is the best choice for this iron-smelting workshop.

What Niu Dali doesn't know is that such a thermometer, a natural thermometer that can measure temperatures above 1200 degrees, can be used in many fields.

Some of these fields were owned by the Northern Song Dynasty, and the firing of ceramics, especially porcelain, was basically at a high temperature of more than 1,000 degrees.

The porcelain of the Northern Song Dynasty is very developed, but the yield is generally not high, and even kiln changes abound, the reason is that the temperature and formula, there is no precise formula, there is no enough accurate temperature control, may create rare treasures.

Some of the products of the kiln change, even later generations can not reproduce the fine products, those cultural relics lovers in the feeling of the beauty of porcelain, incredible, do not know, in order to give birth to such a kiln products, how much porcelain was discarded.

A successful general is forged by the accumulated bones of hundreds of millions of soldiers, and the same is true of excellent porcelain, I don't know how many porcelain have been scrapped behind him, and how many kiln owners have been ruined.

Give the kiln owner a choice, and he will definitely choose stable, mass-produced ordinary porcelain, rather than an ethereal kiln.

For such a natural thermometer, Zhao Xin is also very curious, he doesn't seem to have heard of anything similar, later China, in the field of high temperature, mostly infrared imaging, and thermal resistance thermometers, mostly use some effects of heat, for precise control of temperature.

And the natural, some physics-like thermometers, have never been used, because his error is too large, so they have not been used, or they have not been discovered at all.

With the help of the card system, this stone is lit up, which is a complex mineral alloy, the main component is tungsten and molybdenum and other insoluble metals, the content is not much, and there are many costs such as copper and iron, in a very special form, the formation of the stone, this kind of stone, in Zhao Xin's knowledge field, in the natural world, is not much.

In fact, it can really be said that it is relatively rare, as far as this blacksmith knows, that is, in some mountains of Hebei.

Zhao Xin knew it as soon as he knew, so he sent people to look for it, it was an ancient volcano with a special terrain, after hundreds of millions of years of weathering, and finally formed a special landform, only in a few valleys, this kind of stone was found, which is enough for conservative estimates, it may be more than 1 million catties.

For a mineral, especially ore, 1 million catties, this is not a big number, generally the specific gravity of more than 5 stones, a cube, is 5 tons, that is, 10,000 catties, 1 million catties, but a hundred cubic meters, for mineral deposits, is a very insignificant small part, 10 meters of square, the volume is 1000 square meters.

Zhao Xin's this, and not to refine the tungsten and molybdenum in it, although their content is not low, to ask for these things, just to assist the smelting temperature, control in a controllable situation, not how accurate the thermometer, that is impossible.

High-temperature thermometers, within 1000 degrees Celsius, are a high-tech problem in the world, mostly with the help of infrared and thermal resistance and other methods, rather than simple color change, but these, in this era can be.

Soon, with the help of this blacksmith, the stones were mined, not a lot, but if they were only used as city thermometers, they could be used for many years.

The most important thing is that it is not a place, after carefully examining a generation year, there are some geological conditions, and finally have a preliminary understanding, will be in some special, detailed geological conditions to look for it, China is a vast land, such things, there should be many more.

The reward of 5,000 guan suddenly made the blacksmiths from the Daimyo's Mansion stunned, before, because of the repetition of the catalyst, some people rumored that this reward was a lie, it was the previous blacksmith workshop, in order to get their secret recipe, as a disguise.

But the real money, when it is placed in front of them, is completely different.

5,000 pounds, 8 catties, almost 40,000 catties of copper coins, a large number of brand new, compiled into 100 Wen, 100 Wen small strings of copper coins, stacked together, the visual impact of cash, that is all other incomparable.

Niu Dali's family has more than ten people, even if everyone holds a hundred and ten catties of copper coins, it is a drop in the bucket, how much can a person get, more than ten times, more than twenty times, it is already the limit, 5,000 times, that is really money crushing people.

Of course, Zhao Xin doesn't know how to put on a show, 5000 yuan, and it's not very safe, fortunately, there is a semicolon of the money bank next to it, directly deposit it into the money bank, and issue a flying ticket, which is the solution to the problem.

The stimulus of cash has once again set off a trend of improvement, even if now, the blacksmith workshop is perfect enough, and it is unlikely that there will be large-scale improvements, but these experienced blacksmiths and master craftsmen have begun to scrutinize the subtleties, and the improvement is still continuing, and the most important thing is that when this thermometer is applied to all aspects of the blacksmith workshop, they find that the threshold of the master craftsman is no longer so unattainable.
