Under the guidance of Chen Ming's mouth cannon, a third blast furnace was erected in Xiaonangou. The two blast furnaces that existed before have not moved, if you want to make Chen Ming, you will make a new one and change the old furnace, and the Chen family is not short of these two small money. What's more, as soon as the old furnace stopped, it directly delayed the Chen family's money. Today's old furnaces are always profitable.

From laying the foundation to firing the fire bricks, it took 20 days for the freshly baked blast furnace to be erected in the Xiaonangou Iron Works. Different from the traditional two blast furnaces, the new blast furnace has a huge thermal storage chamber and a huge water conservancy bellows, which can only produce 100 catties of iron at a time, but now it can produce at least 500 catties of iron at a time.

Of course, in Chen Ming's cognition, such a blast furnace is still a small point. Just because it's the first time to do it, I have no experience, and I don't dare to be blindly greedy. And in the past 20 days, Chen Ming also built a small-scale coal washing plant based on the raw coal dug up from the coal mine in the mountain.

He didn't know whether there was coal washing in China at this time, but he knew that coal washing was an indispensable process in the coal deep processing system. The coal directly mined from the mine is called raw coal, and the raw coal is mixed with many impurities in the mining process, and the quality of the coal is also different, and the coal with small internal ash content and large internal ash content are mixed together. Coal washing is an industrial process that removes impurities from raw coal, or classifies high-quality coal and low-quality coal.

The products produced after the coal washing process are generally divided into gangue, medium coal, grade B refined coal, grade A clean coal, and the finished coal after the coal washing process is usually called clean coal, and the quality of coal can be improved through coal washing. This is the most basic and important small country. The refined coal of bituminous coal is generally mainly used for coking, and the area where Lushan is located belongs to Pingdingshan in the future, and Pingmei is the king of coking coal in China!

In iron and steelmaking, direct raw coal cannot be used at all, only coke. Chen Ming wants to build a small blast furnace on one side, and on the other hand, he wants to build a coal washing plant and then smelt a batch of coke, regardless of how high the utilization rate is, as long as everything can be done.

His style is still very like a student of the 'reform pilot', but in the eyes of the elders of the Chen family, Chen Hui and Chen Cong, Chen Ming is called 'steady'. If you can't get something right, start small first, and then promote it after success, which is very recognized by the Chen family's stewardship.

If the ordinary young man has the 'victory' of bone china and the flush toilet as a foundation, and then intervenes in iron smelting, his heart may become bigger, but Chen Ming is still 'cautious', not aggressive, not arrogant and arrogant, this kind of heart in the eyes of the Chen family and a gang of principals is no less than the victory of bone china and flush toilets. It's just that Chen Ming doesn't know.

……

Chen Ming has improved the blast furnace so much, doesn't there be a different sound at all? That's absolutely impossible.

The craftsmen of this era were very professional, or rather, they all 'worshipped' the knowledge they already knew, as if they were honoring God, and could not be changed in any way. The small blast furnace that Chen Ming wants to build is simply a 'big rebellion' in their eyes.

Therefore, from the start of construction, all craftsmen, even gray-haired, fifty or sixty-year-old people, are all heroes who have worked for the Chen family all their lives, and they are all right with Chen Ming, what makes Chen Ming very disgusted is that these people's words and hearts show a kind of 'good for you, good for the Chen family' righteousness, and even this kind of "righteousness and awe-inspiring" is not hypocritical, but really out of a piece of loyalty for the good of the Chen family! This made Chen Ming feel very strange in his heart, and he had a deeper understanding of the 'spirit' of this era. He is not tired of these craftsmen and old people who are right with him, and compared with the workers in his previous life who can do whatever they want after taking the money, such workers seem to be more reassuring. This group of workers with a very 'mastery' spirit!

This is not modern society, not modern China, and the rabbits have not yet descended on this plane. This is the idea of 'loyalty and righteousness' in traditional Chinese society, which bears a wonderful flower!

Chen Ming has reservations about this for the time being, but for now, as far as he is concerned, he likes it very much.

Of course, occasional annoyance is inevitable. Because these craftsmen not only objected verbally, but also took other practical actions - after repeated dissuasion was ineffective, and after seeing that the eldest young master really did not listen to good advice, these craftsmen directly reacted to the upper echelons.

At that time, Chen Ming had the words 'skipping the level of petitioning' ridiculously popping up in his mind. Will these people still play 'skipping petitions'?

Chen Ming really admires the ethics of these craftsmen, what is the spirit of ownership of the factory, this is fucking ah.

It's just that the craftsmen's 'petitions' were all suppressed by Chen Cong. For Chen Cong's firm support, Chen Ming is still a little grateful. It's been almost three months since he went to the countryside, and this cheap second uncle really hasn't dragged him back once.

If the small blast furnace is successful this time, the power is 100, Chen Ming can account for half, the craftsmen account for half of the remaining half, and the other quarter should belong to Chen Cong, the cheap second uncle. It was he who single-handedly 'suppressed' the commotion and petitions of the craftsmen, and withstood the pressure of several elders in Xiaonangou, the ancestral land of the Chen family.

The older you get, the more complacent you become, and you like to rely on the old and sell the old. Chen Ming can be tough on the craftsmen and workers of the Chen family, but he can't be tough on these elders. Everyone has an old day, and no one wants to be thrown by the juniors and lose face when they are old, if Chen Ming dares to do this, the consequences will be 'far-reaching'!

Therefore, Chen Ming is now more and more fond of his cheap second uncle. Maybe Chen Cong is just a middle-of-the-road talent, but he can delegate power to Chen Ming, and he can give Chen Ming a shield from the wind and rain, which is the most suitable 'boss' for Chen Ming.

Chen Ming is very confident in the small blast furnace, not to mention that the technology has been improved a series of times, but nothing has been moved, only relying on coke to make iron, and the quality of the iron obtained will be better than before. In terms of speed, it will be much faster.

At that time, the new iron material will be used to smelt mature iron, which will be much more convenient, faster, less material and less labor-saving than the previous inferior iron, and then the wrought iron pig iron can be crucible to produce molten steel.

Of course, after the innovation of steelmaking and ironmaking technology has reached this point, Chen Ming has almost taken out the goods in his head. After all, others are not from a metallurgical background, and they can know that coking on a small blast furnace is all due to the historical travel text of the singularity. Such a method has been written badly in the Singularity History text.

All Chen Ming is doing now is to take out all the stalks that have been written badly in the Singularity History Essay and repeat them again. If the situation allows, he will try to make soap, soap, and try to sell cigarettes in the future. In a book of gods in the late Ming Dynasty that Chen Ming read before the crossing, the protagonist is a cigarette, and he has a deep memory.

There is also glass, glass mirror, this traverser's big killer should still work in this era. Anyway, Chen Ming has never seen a glass mirror in the Chen family, and the Chen family still uses a traditional bronze mirror. During the Qianlong period, glass mirrors should still be a luxury, and they were not yet common enough to be used by rural tyrants like the Chen family. In Cao Xueqin's "Dream of Red Mansions", there are more references to glass products, especially the large Western glass mirror in Jia Baoyu's room. It can be seen that the glass mirror has only been popularized in the homes of noble eunuchs.

Thanks to those little white texts, Chen Ming has a lot of good things and ideas in his head.

Then there is the iron-making and steel-making, gun-making and cannon-making, in many historical Xiaobai texts, these eight words are completely connected. But it's a pity that this is not what Chen Ming can do now.

He can make guns and cannons, and even hoard gunpowder openly, and there are still a few people in Lushan County who don't know that the Chen family is using gunpowder to open mountains and pave roads, and there are too many places where gunpowder is used to open mines and bomb mines. And it is not unusual for a powerful family to make guns and cannons in this era.

But there is a premise for all this, you can't cross the line, and if you cross the line, just wait for the opposition of the entire Chen family!
