The red molten iron flowed out of the blast furnace, making the four of them stunned! They couldn't imagine that boiling molten iron could be smelted out of a blast furnace, and the volume was so huge!

"How much molten iron is this? Fu Junyuan was the first to "wake up" and asked Lu Hongming. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"This is a large furnace, more than 60 tons in one furnace, three furnaces a day; Originally, there were two furnaces a day, but later our craftsmen in the sixth district improved the smelting process, and it became three furnaces a day; My Hou Ye honor was obtained at that time, and it was personally signed by our prince! -- However, now that the furnace is smaller, the 13th district has recently developed a large furnace of more than 230 tons, and the power for feeding and transportation is electricity, which has a larger output and higher work efficiency; The Department of Industry has ordered to make every effort to promote it, and the furnaces to be built in the future will be large furnaces, and this furnace can only be called medium furnaces in the future! ”

"Sixty tons? ――How much is 60 tons? ”

"Huh? - Oh, your court has different calculations than ours; On our side, it is one pound and ten taels, one ton and two thousand catties, unlike you who are one pound and sixteen taels! ”

"How much? ――！ Shui Rong's shocked voice went out, "Then doesn't this furnace cost 120,000 catties?" 360,000 catties of iron a day! ”

"Hmmm! Yes! ”

Fu Junyuan shook his head and sighed, "How much iron can your East China Sea Kingdom produce in a year?" ――”

"Then who knows"; Lu Hongming also shook his head, "The Department of Industry will only issue a report at the end of the year, last year more than 4 million tons of iron, this year's development is fast, by the end of the year there should still be 10 million tons of iron; However, steelmaking is not good, and it is estimated that it should not exceed two million tons! -- At present, the inventory of iron ingots is too large, and the production is not allowed to be reduced; The machinery factory has complained many times that we want to make more steel, but our area is mainly iron-making, the technology of converter steelmaking is still poor, and there are many accidents, so I have a headache when I think about it! ――But it is a coincidence that you have come today, my application report has been approved, and I will go to District 1 in a few days to participate in the new technology training of converter steelmaking, and next time you come back, I can take you to see the converter in our district! ”

Jin Feng didn't know what to say, and looked at Fu Junyuan, "Old Fu, you are a scholar of Huirenge University, and you are familiar with the Ministry of Engineering, how much steel can we produce in a year?" ”

Fu Junyuan sighed again, "About forty or fifty thousand catties, right?" According to their calculations, it is estimated that it is only two or three hundred thousand tons. ”

"What?!" , Jin Feng didn't know about the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court, so he was even more shocked after hearing it, "Isn't that even a fraction of them?!" ”

“――！” , none of the four of them wanted to speak; After a moment of silence, Shui Rong spoke, "Swords, muskets, that one doesn't have to use good steel!" How can you fight a war without good steel? ――Are all the people in the Ministry of Industry eating? Why is the yield so bad? Without steel, how can we fight in the future?! ”

Lu Hongming spoke, "Steel is the country!" This is what our prince said at the beginning! -- In order to make iron at the time of Liuqiu, we used our lives to fill it in, and we used up two or three million of the alien laborers in Luzon, and the Han people in the steel mills also died countless because of various accidents; The technology and output of steel are all piled up by us at the cost of countless human lives! -- At that time, we dared to build 10,000-ton iron ships, and we dared to pave the Liuqiu railway; Just the discarded weapons used in the training of the soldiers, and the two ends of the three days will be pulled back to the furnace! - You still want to fight us? You've already lost at the starting line! ”。

After listening to Lu Hongming's teasing, the four of them were even more speechless; Originally, the four of them didn't know much about the East China Sea Kingdom, and they wanted to explore the hole cards of the East China Sea Country in order to deal with the East China Sea Country in the future, but now they only felt extremely desperate after learning a little bit!

"Steel is the country, steel is the country", Fu Junyuan whispered a few times, who knew that he cried while chattering, "Woo-woo-woo", people who are dozens of years old can cry extremely sad!

"Lost! Lost! There's no hope! The red-eyed red-eyed water-soluble and decadent sighed a few times, feeling that he couldn't even stand on his feet; Jin Feng wanted to help him, but Shui Rong slowly sat down on the ground.

Lu Hongming didn't expect that the four of them would not be able to withstand the blow so much, but looking at the sad appearance of the elderly Fu Junyuan crying, Lu Hongming didn't know where to persuade him.

――――

In the next ten days, Lu Hongliang and Li Youdi took Jin Feng Shuirong and the four of them from Shenyang to Harbin, and along the way they visited steel mills, cement factories, machinery factories, woolen mills, power plants, electrical factories, as well as new residential areas, new agricultural areas, public farms, primary and secondary schools, until iron mines, coal mines, railway construction sites and other places, the only thing that made Shui Rong and Fu Junyuan regret that the universities in the East China Sea Country are in the two halls of Lushun and Jilong, and they have not had the opportunity to take a look at the legendary holy land of the East China Sea - various universities for the time being!

The production of industry and agriculture brought too much shock to the four people, and when they were numb and numb, the four of them already felt that there was nothing worth being shocked and numb again, but at the end of the month, the four of them were taken back to Quang Ninh and Ningyuan to watch two military exercises, and the four of them had completely lost any faith!

The Quang Ninh Hall military exercise was first opened by an artillery regiment of the 4th Field Division, and a rocket artillery group pulled by 59 tractors first carried out carpet bombardment on several small hills, and then three infantry regiments accompanied by a simple armored regiment covered with iron covers of tractors began to charge the preset battlefield. The mountains were shaking, the smoke was filled, and the intertwined steel storm destroyed almost every inch of the preset battlefield, leaving not a single intact tree behind! The Fourth Division did not give any explanation to the imperial envoys after the convergence, but the knowledgeable Lu Hongliang explained to Jin Feng and the four of them, and this military exercise consumed at least hundreds of tons of ammunition!

The military exercise in Ningyuan District was a joint naval and land military exercise, which was jointly conducted by the 1st Field Division, the 19th Marine Division, and the Second Fleet of the Navy. Although the beach in Ningyuan was not suitable for landing military exercises, no one in the imperial court envoys knew how to do it. Large-caliber naval guns covered the preset beach, and then the boats began to storm the beach; The beachhead front was followed by a large-scale landing, after which artillery fire began to cover the positions further ahead. The earth shakes, the mountains shook, and the steel shattered! For the first time, the imperial court envoys knew what the real modern naval artillery firepower was, and the term "modern firepower" was still Lu Hongliang's elaboration of Jin Feng's water-soluble four; Artillery coverage, zigzag trenches, barbed wire defense lines, naval artillery support, heavy fire blockade and other terms first came to the ears of the imperial envoys from Lu Hongliang's mouth; The 1st Division, the 19th Army Division, and the 2nd Fleet of the Navy participating in the Ningyuan Sea-Land Joint Military Exercise did not give any explanation to the imperial envoys, and the only explanation was "See for yourself!" Therefore, the imperial court envoys could only inquire about the news through Lu Hongliang and Li Youdi, who accompanied Jin Feng and the four people.

Modern firepower, industrial logistics, firepower coverage and other terms are the most shocking to the hearts of the imperial court envoys! People are always shocked by the big picture and afraid of the unknown, so much so that they ignore countless important details. After the military exercise, the gravel and scrap iron all over the ground are still explaining the scene of the military exercise just past, but some people in the imperial court envoys have gone crazy! The more loyal people are to the court, the easier it is for their beliefs to collapse, and the consequence of the instant collapse of their beliefs is extreme confusion, or even complete madness!

Jin Feng and the four of them followed Lu Hongliang and his entourage to visit, and they had seen many large-scale industrial production and shocking things, so the impact of the military exercise on them was on the basis of having been shocked by large-scale industrial production, so the four of them continued to be shocked in confusion and numbness, and they still maintained a little sobriety; The other members of the imperial envoy group were different, and after the other members of the imperial envoy group were separated from Jin Feng Shuirong on October 16, they mainly visited the agriculture and people's livelihood culture of the Kanto Prefecture of the East China Sea Kingdom, so they did not feel the power of the heavy industry of the East China Sea Country very obviously, so the psychological impact of these two military exercises on them was the most grandiose, so it is no longer surprising that some people would go crazy.

There were only a few people in the imperial court envoys who went crazy, and all of them were the most loyal Qingliu personnel to the imperial court; The trip still had to continue, so a few crazy people were taken care of by the servants brought by the imperial envoys, and all the members of the envoys boarded the ship from Ningyuan on the morning of the 31st to the Jinzhou District of the Lushun Hall to observe the three-day celebration of the East China Sea Kingdom held in the Jinzhou District.

The sea route from Ningyuan to Lushun is now very fast, and the ships sent by the Military Affairs Department are enough to carry a few thousand people at a time, and they can reach Jinzhou in one day, so there is no trouble; Jin Feng stood on the deck and looked at the sea view, but his heart was not calm; Is the family safe? Have you arrived at Lushun? How should I deal with the change in my identity? There are too many doubts to figure out, but there are also too many confusions ahead!

Lu Hongliang had nothing to say to Jin Feng, so after questioning Lu Hongliang, Jin Feng learned that his wife and children had arrived in Jinzhou safely, and Emperor Shunhe was reluctant to give up his fourth son after all, and exchanged hostages with Yanshantang, the intelligence department of the East China Sea State, but because the four princes were kidnapped, Emperor Shunhe was angry in prehistory; The dignified four princes were actually kidnapped after being tricked out of the palace by the eunuchs and palace maids! ――How many spies from the East China Sea Kingdom are buried in this palace? What other sense of security is there? - Emperor Shunhe was furious and carried out a major purge of the palace, and he did not let go of the mistake! Even the Jingshi was killed to the ground! Those who abandoned the streets are not counted, but only the slightest suspicious person is imprisoned in all the prisons under the jurisdiction of the Criminal Department!

Lu Hongliang only told Jin Feng that his wife and children were safe, but even Lu Hongliang didn't know about it, the Intelligence Department Yanshantang suffered heavy losses as a result, and countless peripheral and inner personnel were lost as a result!

"What kind of person are you?" , After being puzzled for half a month, Jin Feng finally found a time and decided to ask Lu Hongliang; Because the experience of the past half a month is so bizarre, so bizarre that I would rather treat it as a dream, but after waking up from the dream, I still have to face the truth!

"Huh? Our lord? --How can I say-, I really can't say! Jin Feng thought that it was inconvenient for Lu Hongliang to evaluate Fu Ning, but Lu Hongliang's words after that made him feel even more strange!

"Our prince is very weird! It's also amazing! Lu Hongliang thought for a long time before he spoke; I belonged to the 2nd Guards Division, the Attendant of the General Staff, and belonged to the Guards, but I was also trained as an officer; Our prince often gave us lectures, and I often saw him, and I knew him very well; - But if you talk about what kind of person our prince is, I really can't sum it up! -- Our prince has a very broad vision! He can casually talk about the historical trend of human development, and his opening is the world, history, general trend, society or something, and you will feel very open-minded when you listen to his words; What kind of slave society, feudal society, state capital society, in short, listening to his lectures every time you will feel like a crisp empowerment, all doubts are gone! The thinking is very clear, the ideas are very open, and the words are very clear, which makes people fascinated! - But there is one thing that is not good, our prince's lectures are very jumpy! Although most of them are not far from the topic, but the thinking is often very jumpy and scattered, one of his lessons is often enough for us to digest for more than half a month, and we have to desperately check the book to understand it thoroughly! So everyone is studying hard, lest they can't keep up with the lessons he taught! -- As for the prince's behavior, it's hard to say! - He is generally very easy-going, and he doesn't pay attention to any subtleties, and he can tell him any jokes, and he doesn't care; But he is very serious when he does things, and sometimes he is terrible in seriousness! Although he doesn't care about any details, his thinking is often very sharp, anyway, when we talk to him, his thoughts are carried away by him! ――Once, when I was a little curious, I asked him what kind of person he was, and he said that he had no character, no hobbies, and no characteristics. - Anyway, it's strange that I can't say what kind of person he is! You will only know a little bit if you are familiar with him! ”

Jin Feng was already very confused, but after listening to Lu Hongliang's words, he was even more confused, "There are still such people??" ”。

"Well, in short, our prince is such a person, which is incomprehensible! -- Some say he's a madman, others say he's a saint, and some say he's a scoundrel; But we guards are used to hearing it, no matter what kind of person our prince is, he is our prince! Just listen to him! ”

“――？？？” , Jin Feng was completely speechless!
