Chapter Fifty-Nine: Soil Law Coking

Li Chengqian didn't break Hu Kui's leg ruthlessly in the end, but just let people beat him up. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

However, Hu Kui's errand was gone, not only him, but even his brother-in-law's military participation was removed.

And Xue Lao came to work at the sixth time, not only restored the glory of his father and became a questioner, but also the head of the question, that is, the boss of the official team.

What Xue Lao Liu didn't expect the most was that the prince actually rewarded him with an official body under the ninth grade, although it was the lowest level, but it was also a grade.

In terms of grade alone, it was the same level as Hu Kui's brother-in-law before.

In the future, he will not be an official, but an official, and he can be called an adult.

Xue Laoliu, who was promoted, was assigned to be responsible for digging coal, and by the way, he also had to supervise the construction of coking furnaces.

The materials are taken locally, and the soil here is very cohesive laterite, and the coal dug out is just used to build a kiln.

You don't need to burn bricks, you can directly beat it into adobe, and you can do it quickly in the summer.

Thanks to the fact that he was born in the countryside in later generations, and there are many small factories on his grandmother's side, Wu Yuanqing can be regarded as well-informed.

When I was a child, my aunt worked in a ceramic factory, my eldest uncle, my fourth uncle and a bunch of relatives worked in the coking plant, and my second uncle went to the coal kiln.

In addition to never entering the coal mine, the ceramic factory and the coking plant are all not playing.

Especially in the coking plant, there will be a large amount of slag dumped by the river, and almost everyone in my grandmother's village will go there to pick up the half-coke that is not fully burned and take it home to burn, people call this kind of thing blue charcoal. The reason why it is called blue charcoal is because the color of blue charcoal is blue and faint.

At that time, half of the year was spent making fires with charcoal.

Because the small coking plant uses the soil method for coking, it will produce a large amount of blue charcoal.

Of course, the blue charcoal that people refine is to be sold, and the people in the village pick up the broken blue charcoal mixed in the slag. Use a small rake to rummage through the slag.

At that time, Wu Yuanqing also picked up a few years when he lived and played at his grandmother's house, until the coking plant was too polluted and the benefits were not good.

Because he often plays in the coking plant, and the local method of coking is relatively simple, Wu Yuanqing is very sure that he can make coke according to the gourd painting.

As long as the furnace is built, under the condition that the air is not isolated in the furnace, the coking coal stacked in the kiln is ignited with the help of the ignition hole on the side wall of the kiln, and the coal is heated layer by layer by the combustion heat of the coking coal itself (direct fire heating part); The hot gas flow formed by the exhaust gas generated by coal combustion and the unburned large amount of coal cracking products continues to burn through the fuse channel on the side wall of the kiln chamber, and part of the heat is transferred into the kiln (indirect heating part). The high-temperature gas stream is discharged into the atmosphere with unburned coal cracks, chemical products. This process lasts for eight to eleven days, the coke is matured, water is injected from the artificial ignition hole to quench the coke, and then sealed, the cold furnace is cold, and the coke can be opened after it has completely cooled down.

The coking cycle of soil coking is long, the coking rate is low, the coal consumption is high, and the coke ash content is high (caused by burning a part of coal). Coking chemical products are either burned or discharged into the atmosphere with high-temperature exhaust gas streams, which not only cannot comprehensively utilize coking coal, but also cause serious pollution to the atmosphere.

Despite all the drawbacks, the advantage is that the coke produced can provide a high enough temperature when the steel is smelted.

It plays a vital role in improving the yield and quality of steel.

Coal is found, and coke can be made quickly, but iron ore is needed to increase steel production.

Fortunately, Liaozhou is rich in underground products, not only has enough coal, but also has a lot of iron ore reserves, and it seems that there are gold mines, but that is what I heard from others in later generations.

The coal mine is mainly in the south, and the iron mine is in the east, Wu Yuanqing asked, Wang Dynasty, Ma Han, these two blacksmiths, according to them, there is an iron mine sixty or seventy miles out of the city in the east of Liaozhou. However, the output is not large, and it is enough for local use in Liaozhou.

They bought the iron ore from there.

Although the output is not large, Wu Yuanqing doesn't care much about it. Originally, he didn't think that he would double Datang's steel output by relying on himself to get these things in Liaozhou.

What he wants is only a mature method and process flow obtained after actual operation.

As long as the method is made here, it will be handed over to the emperor to promote it, and with the support of the royal family, the whole country will be backed by materials, and the output will not be rolled up.

Not to mention the whole country, just Hedong Road, as well as the coal mines that can be found around Chang'an, and the iron mines are open, so that Li Shimin can wake up with a smile when he falls asleep at night.

Ma Bei was very sad and was driven by Li Chengqian to get an iron mine.

When hunting in the morning, Wu Yuanqing shot a stupid and cute fat rabbit, and the rest of the time was the role of a bagger.

This made Wu Yuanqing very unwilling, so he proposed to go hunting again in the afternoon, but the others felt that they had a lot of fun in the morning and didn't want to hunt anymore in the afternoon.

"Or, let's catch the old hook in a while" Wu Yuanqing touched his chin and thought about what he played in his childhood, and suddenly proposed.

"Lao Gou, what is that, an animal?" everyone looked confused, and Li Chengqian asked curiously.

"It's a scorpion, and the people here call it Lao Gou," Wu Yuanqing explained.

"Scorpions? What's so fun about catching scorpions? Besides, do you know where to look for it" Needless to say, it was Wang Lun's little white face who said this.

"Jokes, of course I know where to find them, I think back then, Lao Tzu relied on catching the old hook, and he could earn several yuan a day............" Wu Yuanqing opened his mouth and began to blow, but halfway through speaking, he was shocked to realize that his mouth was full, and he told the things of the future generations, and hurriedly stopped his mouth, and then saw that everyone else looked at him strangely.

"Hehe, hehe, I've seen it in my dreams, I've seen it in my dreams, haha" hurriedly explained haha.

As soon as he heard him say that in his dream, everyone collectively despised it, and this stubble just forked over.

"Get carried away, get carried away, you have to pay attention in the future" Seeing that the confusion had passed, Wu Yuanqing secretly warned himself.

"Okay, anyway, we have nothing to do in the afternoon, let's go see how to catch scorpions" Except for Wu Yuanqing, who doesn't take Li Chengqian very seriously, for others, Li Chengqian's words are still absolutely easy to use, as long as Li Chengqian decides, they will basically not raise objections.

After taking a few pairs of chopsticks and a few small porcelain jars for things, the group set off.

In the afternoon, the sun was in the west, so Wu Yuanqing chose the eastern slope.

Although the scorpion likes to be dark and unwashed, especially strong light, and likes to choose a humid place for its range of activity, it prefers to live in a dry place. Since it had been raining for the past few days, although it had been sunny for a few days, the soil was still relatively moist, so it was easier to find scorpions on the eastern slopes that were illuminated by the sun in the afternoon.

During the day, scorpions do not come out, and belong to night owls that come out at night.

Another reason for going east is that there is a small barren slope with no trees, and many flakes of rocks are exposed to the ground.

This kind of place happens to be the scorpion's favorite living environment, especially one of the sour jujube forests and shrubs is its favorite.

"Wu Yuanqing, how do you find this, such a big area, how do we know where it is hidden" Before coming to the barren slope, Li Chengqian asked loudly.

"Yes, there are stones everywhere, and it's not easy to walk without even walking," Wang Lun complained next.

"Or, let the guards help us find it together," Changle Xiao Lori looked at the guards who were scattered in a surrounding shape, and said sweetly.

"Well, yes" The eldest girl and the second girl also nodded, and Xiangcheng Gong and Wang Ziyu smiled without saying a word.

Only Wu Yuanshuang was very excited, and when the others were still standing at the bottom of the slope, he had already rushed up the barren slope and started rummaging.

He was rummaging through a patch of grass with a picked branch, and he was still muttering something.

Wu Yuanqing looked very speechless, his spirit was commendable, but unfortunately he didn't master the right method, and shouted: "Yuan Shuang, you can't find it there, it likes to burrow in the cracks of stones, you have to lift the stone to find it." “

"Oh, that's the case, I know the big brother" Wu Yuanshuang was very obedient, immediately changed his goal, and began to lift the stone to find it.

Seeing that Wu Yuanshuang had already taken action, coupled with Wu Yuanqing's reminder, other people were also interested, and finding unknown things was a very interesting thing in itself.

"By the way, be careful when you turn over the rocks, although there are no big rocks here, there are snakes hidden in them. It's better to find a guard to help you move" Seeing that everyone went to move stones one by one, Wu Yuanqing warned again.

Seeing that everyone was followed by a guard, Wu Yuanqing relieved his heart, led Changle, and the three little girls began to look for scorpions.

There is no skill in catching the old hook, but experience is important. As a veteran with several years of experience in catching Lao Gou in his previous life, Wu Yuanqing is very clear about Lao Goo's habits.

In the woods, where there are weeds, or where it is particularly humid, where there is no stone in the soil, or where there is no stone in the stone, there will be no old hook, and there will be no ants in many places, because the ants will swarm and eat it.

Based on the above, Wu Yuanqing will avoid places with no stones, no soil, and low-lying ravines, because those places are rivers when it rains, and Lao Gou will not be so stupid to settle his home in the rivers.

So Wu Yuanqing went straight to the high ground very clearly. If he finds the stones that have been changed in the soil, and only turns over the stones that have gaps, he will not move if he is completely sunken in the soil.

Wu Yuanqing's luck was very good, and after turning over a few pieces, there was a harvest.

"Wow, wow, there you have it"

"Big brother, look, there are three"

"Yes, the three of them are so big, what's going on with the big brother's body full of yellow?"

The three little girls screamed loudly, full of surprise.

"Alright, all right, you three be quiet, step back a bit, let me catch them first." Wu Yuanqing said helplessly.

With a quick movement of his hand, he used his chopsticks to put two very large old hooks into the porcelain jar, and then clamped the old hooks that were about to escape into the cave with yellow rice grains on his body.

The three little ones looked closer again.

"Do you see clearly" moved in front of their eyes, and the three of them hurriedly retreated, "Haha, don't be afraid, just let you look more closely." These millet-like things are just the little old hook that has just been born. Wu Yuanqing said with a smile.

"That's all it."

"It's just, it's scary to watch densely"
