Su Baiyi brought a lot of people from Shandong!

In addition to the three generals Geng Zhongming, Mao Chenglu and Kong Youde, there were also forty-man Jinyi guards headed by Li Suo, and Dengzhou officials headed by Wang Zheng.

The most puzzling thing is that even more than a dozen Portuguese from Wang Zheng were brought to Guide Mansion.

When these crooked nuts were in Shandong, they were frightened, Su Baiyi didn't use force at all, and they immediately moved as soon as they were slightly agitated, and the only request was to let Su Baiyi help them build a church in Guide Mansion!

Su Baiyi readily agreed, and told a group of foreign devils that as long as they did a good job in Guide Mansion and satisfied him, they would build a beautiful super cathedral for them.

As for the standard of doing a good job, of course, Su Baiyi has the final say.

There are a lot of people brought from Shandong, so it is unrealistic to live in Su Baiyi's house, all these people are arranged by the Yamen of Guide Mansion, some live in the post station, some live in the yamen, and there are a few people who come to Wenzheng Academy to fall behind!

Picking a good sunny day, Su Baiyi took Wang Zheng and more than a dozen Portuguese Oba to ride to the bank of the Yellow River.

There are not only the iron ore transported back by Cao Huachun from Nanzhili Taiping Mansion, but also the coal mine collected by Fu Lin from all over Guide Mansion, and the quartz stone and quicklime transported from Fengyang Mansion in Nanzhili.

So many things not only have to be watched, but also transported by people.

Fu Lin also found someone to carve out a vacant land on this shore and built a few thatched huts to live in temporarily.

Because of the busyness of the wharf, there are often people here to sell all kinds of food, although it is not as busy as the market, but it is still much busier than the ordinary rural farmers.

Su Baiyi dismounted, walked up the river embankment, looking at the surging water of the Yellow River as always, he squinted his eyes through the turquoise grass, and his gaze swept to the center of the river.

The last time I came was last year, I remember that at that time, Shen Meishuang, the young lady of the Shen family, was going to jump into the river, saying that she was unwilling to marry Yu Mingyu of the Yu family.

Unconsciously, it has been almost a year since I came to the Ming Dynasty!

Su Baiyi sighed deeply, his eyes turned suddenly, and he looked at the large pile of iron ore and a small pile of coal ore south of the Shen Dike, and even less quartz and quicklime next to him.

"Did Lord Wang see it?" Su Baiyi pointed to various materials: "The construction of the railway is inseparable from iron, the official has probably calculated, the whole road needs at least 40,000 catties of steel, and your task is to make steel!" ”

"How much?" Wang Zheng was shocked when he heard this, looked at Su Baiyi and said, "Four, four, four, ten thousand?" ”

What is the concept of 40,000 catties?

Wang Zheng didn't know, but he could imagine it, and he couldn't think of it after thinking about it for a long time, so he had to lament: "Master Su, are you joking with the old man, 100 steel, 40,000 catties, do you know how difficult it is to practice 100 catties of 100 steel?" ”

In his concept, Su Baiyi must not know, otherwise he would not have said a word of 40,000 catties so inconsequentially!

He was even thinking that if this railway really needed 40,000 catties of steel, it was estimated that he would not want to build it in his life. In other words, Su Baiyi's instigation of His Majesty to build a railway is an empty word, and it is a crime of deception!

Wang Zheng's neck was inexplicably cold, and when he looked at Su Baiyi again, it looked even more unpleasant.

"Yes, yes, it's 100 steel!" Su Baiyi walked into Wang Zheng, pointed to the iron ore and said: "This official thinks that 40,000 catties is not a lot, as long as there is enough coal and stone, it will be made in a year, the key is that making steel is only the first step, and it must be made into alloys, alloys of various properties." Su Baiyi nodded his fingers and counted: "There must be high-strength alloy steel, whether it is used as a bearing or a cylinder for starting, or screws, connecting rods, etc., of course, high-strength alloy steel can also be used to cast the barrel of a cannon, which is hundreds of times better than the cast iron you use; There must also be spring steel, which is difficult to understand in your current mind; Then there is tool steel, which is the basic material for lathes and various tools and cutting tools. ”

"This is the second step!" Su Baiyi stretched out three fingers: "As for the third step, in general, it is to roll and shape various alloy steels into shapes or casts for use!" ”

"Do you understand what I'm saying?" Su Baiyi looked at Wang Zheng with a confused face and asked.

"This ......" Listening to Su Baiyi's tirade, Wang Zheng had already put aside the matter of making 40,000 catties of steel, and then asked in confusion: "Then tell me first, what is alloy steel?" ”

"Alloy steel is ...... I...... I ......" Su Baiyi finally didn't say it! Thinking about it, it seems a little early to instill alloy steel into Wang Zheng, shaking his head and laughing at himself: "It's that I'm too anxious to eat hot tofu, so let's start with the simplest, let me tell you what ironmaking blast furnace and coke are!" ”

Su Baiyi took out a thick notebook from his bag, handed it to Wang Zheng's hand and said: "This book is unique, our Ming Dynasty is the only one, it is the note left by me in my early years, you follow the methods and graphics in my book, now build several large blast furnaces here, and ask craftsmen to build several large distillation furnaces." ”

Wang Zheng took the book and looked at it a few times, and sure enough, he saw the shape and method of the blast furnace.

A big red-haired devil next to him also glanced at it, and then said "Huh", looked at Su Baiyi and said in stiff Chinese: "Lord Governor, how can there be English symbols in this book?" ”

"Forehead......" Su Baiyi said calmly: "Yes, it is English symbols, this official thinks it is more convenient to use English symbols to represent various material elements, and it is very intuitive, isn't it?" ”

"Yes, yes, I'm interested in this method of adults!" Seeing that the ability of the wind to make the rudder was no worse than that of the Chinese, the red-haired devil not only complimented Su Baiyi, but also said: "If the adults are willing to give me this method, I am willing to be the students!" ”

"International students?" Su Baiyi looked at the red-haired devil in front of him cutely: "What's your name?" ”

"If you go back to adulthood, the student's Chinese name is Annie!" Anni bowed deeply to Su Baiyi.

"Yes, as long as it's not Angela, it's too bad!" Su Baiyi nodded.

Annie immediately asked, "Is it possible to combine several metals to obtain a new material, and this new material may change the properties of the original steel?" ”

"That's right!" Su Baiyi said: "There are many kinds of alloys, and your comprehension ability is very good!" ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Anne asked, "The blacksmith in my hometown has this saying, the adults are talking about many kinds of alloys, do you try different materials, and different material proportions?" ”

"Yes!" Su Baiyi gave a thumbs up, crooked nuts really have the advantages of crooked nuts, these devils may have different brains from Orientals, maybe the cultural atmosphere is different from Orientals.

Therefore, Westerners are rigid and dogmatic in their bones, attach importance to science and technology, and like to explore real things; Oriental people are different, Oriental people are more flexible, pay more attention to ideological improvement, and pay attention to metaphysical things.

That's not bad!

Just like the Celestial Empire and Western countries in later generations, the Celestial Empire is heavy on art, and Western countries are heavy on technology!

Which is higher or lower?

Under normal circumstances, when new skills and technologies come out, they can often form a devastating blow to the arts. But it's only in the early stages, the subsequent development does not rely on technology, but on brains and struggles, and the ultimate move in life is always the wrist, not the pistol!

Therefore, if the world develops according to this principle, the art will eventually prevail.

"Students are willing to try and make different alloys for adults!" Anni arched his hand towards Su Baiyi, and then stretched out his hand to pull another Portuguese man next to him, who was also tall, and said, "My lord, this is my brother Andor, I am willing to work with Andor to try all kinds of different alloys for adults!" ”

What a bonus!

Su Baiyi looked at Annie and Andor with a smile, and suddenly laughed.

History is a big joke!

He brought Western scientific knowledge to the Ming Dynasty from later generations, but he did not expect that almost all the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were opposed, and it was precisely these Westerners who were very interested in this set.

"Okay!" Su Baiyi said: "You will study slowly, whether it is successful or not, record the results and process of research, and one day you will be able to find a variety of materials!" ”

While getting benefits for yourself, you also have to take into account the feelings of others, so Su Baiyi simply said very generously: "If this matter is done well, I will build a cathedral for you in Guide Mansion!" ”

Anne and Andor are naturally grateful!

"Divide you foreign devils into two groups, one group of people follow you to make various alloy materials, and from today onwards, the School of Materials will be established, and you Annie will be the first dean of the School of Materials; In addition, the establishment of the Instrument College, Wang Zheng Wang served as the dean of the Instrument College, and at the same time, Wang was in charge of many technical matters of railway construction and was the chief engineer of the railway! ”

Regardless of whether he will do it or not, he will first implement various positions.

"In addition, I will pay the money, and you will go to Guide Mansion to recruit people, and choose a large site in the south of this Shen Dike, not only to build a blast furnace, but also to build a coke distillation plant, and to have an experimental workshop, and a casting workshop. When there is enough material, we will start to gradually improve the lathe! ”

Once the simple lathe is perfected, it can make what Su Baiyi dreams of: a steam engine!

The reason for the strong development of the industrial age is that there is only one core thing, that is, power.

The conversion of energy into power was none other than the steam engine in the early days.

Once the steam engine appeared, it would in turn play a crucial role in the development of the entire industrial age. With the steam engine, it was possible to build vertically started equipment, to make large ships that were not constrained by natural winds, to make more complex and precise instruments, and to have more versatile lathes.
