Chapter 336: Progress in Heavy Industry
Li Zong smiled when he heard this: "This is very good, Li Qing will serve as the consultant of the Breeding Department, but Li Qing just said that he wants to ask another person to help, I don't know who this person is?" ”
Li Xiang hesitated for a moment, and then said, "This person is Master Shi's daughter." www.biquge.info As soon as this remark came out, everyone was taken aback, but when they looked at Shi Xun again, they looked bitter, as if they knew that Li Xiang would say this. Shi Gang, the servant of the ministry, hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what Lord Li said is true, the little girl is sure to know the cultivation method of this rice seed. If she can teach some experience to the farmers, she will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. ”
Li Zong pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "In that case, Prime Minister Shi Cheng, please ask Ling Ai to help Li Qing." The ministers saw that Li Zong had nodded in agreement, and thought that although Miss Shi was involved in the affairs of the Breeding Department, it was not a formal official position, and it was also about the farmers, so it was not bad for the court, so they didn't say more.
……
The household department has already requisitioned dozens of acres of fertile land for breeding, and the ban on ice and snow villas has been lifted. In Shi Xun's view, Ice Mountain Villa can be regarded as having completed its mission. When Li Xiang rushed away, Shi Bingxue and Lingzhu were packing their things. Seeing Li Xiang coming, Shi Bingxue didn't speak, just stood there and watched Li Xiang stunned.
Li Xiang looked at her with a strange expression, and said with a smile: "Bingxue, why don't you seem to be very happy?" Shi Bingxue said lightly: "There is nothing to be happy about, why do you deliberately pretend to be happy." ”
Li Xiang was taken aback, he had never seen Shi Bingxue speak like this, and he was stunned for a while. Shi Bingxue sighed and said, "Brother Li, I heard my father say that you have become a consultant of the Breeding Department, and you recommend me as your consultant?" ”
Li Xiang nodded blankly and said 'um' casually. Shi Bingxue said again: "Since you think I can do it, if I don't agree, won't I live up to your high expectations?" Looks like I'm going to help out in the breeding department. It's just that I suddenly want to leave this ice and snow mountain villa, but I am a little reluctant, after all, those rice seeds are cultivated from here, and they are ...... Forget it, since you think I can, then you must be right. By the way, I will rarely come to Ice and Snow Mountain Villa in the future, so please take the guitar back to Brother Li......"
Li Xiang was speechless for a while when he heard her say sadly, and said after a while: "Actually, after only half a year, the people of the Breeding Department will naturally be able to master the cultivation technology of rice seeds, and then you can come back to the Ice and Snow Mountain Villa." ”
Shi Bingxue's heart moved when she heard this, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look around, only to see that the villa was empty, but just a few days ago it was still very lively, and now all the rice seedlings have been recovered by the Breeding Department, and the surroundings seem extremely deserted, but just now I heard Li Xiang say that it was only more than half a year, and there was a glimmer of hope in her heart, and she was about to say a few more words, when she suddenly felt that she was a little too self-pitying, and chuckled: "Is half a year a short time?" I've only known you for a year, but since you said so, I'll keep this guitar for now, and I hope you'll remember to pick it up in half a year. ”
Li Xiang was speechless when he heard this, thinking that half a year was definitely not too short, and it took him more than a year to impart modern knowledge to hundreds of Great Song Dynasty scholars, and he also built steam engines and machine tools, as well as weapons such as crossbows and artillery, and half a year could change a lot of things. Seeing that Shi Bingxue said so sadly, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable, and said with a smile: "Actually, half a year is quite long, but it's not like we haven't seen each other for half a year." If I come back every once in a while, how can I not remember to retrieve it? ”
Shi Bingxue blurted out: "Really? You'll be ...... every once in a while Remember this guitar? Li Xiang smiled: "This is natural, even if I don't come, Shiya and Yuru will clamoring to come to see you, and besides, I still have a lot of music scores to tell you." ”
Shi Bingxue finally showed a smile. Li Xiang felt relieved, and suddenly saw her crying again, but he still smiled and said: "I have never been so sad to leave a place as I am today...... Brother Li, do you think I'm too sentimental? As he spoke, he didn't wait for Li Xiang to answer, and floated away with the spirit bead.
Li Xiang said loudly: "You will definitely come back!" Because you're ice and snow, this is Ice & Snow Villa! ”
The first heavy machinery factory in the Great Song Dynasty was located in the Royal Laboratory. The iron and copper factories were already joined by some people, and the factory was also named Lin'an Heavy Machinery Factory, whose main task included the production of other heavy machinery in addition to the processing of steel. Just as a lathe requires a mother bed, the parts of a heavy machine need to be machined by another heavy machine, because the parts of this machine need a material of excellent strength, and the heavy machinery itself is indispensable to obtain this material. But fortunately, everyone has worked hard to finally solve some problems, but it is still not easy to use it for mass manufacturing, and it seems that without heavy machinery, the industry has not been able to develop.
At this time, the plant has been basically completed. Compared to other processing workshops, this workshop is obviously many times larger, the roof alone is more than twice as high as other laboratories, and the area of the plant has reached more than 4,000 square meters, which is enough to install many heavy machinery. However, the main structure of the factory is still made of bricks and wood, but there are some thick wooden pillars in the house for support, and there should be no problem in withstanding the vibration caused by forging according to its structure. Since the cement plant has just been established, cement has not yet begun to be widely used, and besides, the production of steel bars is still a big problem.
Looking at the large factory in front of him, Li Xiang felt that the building materials still needed to be improved immediately. With the construction of various factories, the demand for cement will inevitably increase greatly, but only a few cement factories have been established, and in order to facilitate the nearby materials, the address is very far away from the laboratory, although the laboratory has transported back some raw materials for the production of cement, after all, the quantity is extremely limited, and it is not easy to transport a large amount of cement back from the cement plant more than 100 miles away.
However, there is also good news, which is that the construction of several cement plants is going well, and if nothing else, it will be ready for mass production within four or five days.
The gate of the factory is about five meters wide, and a wooden door frame has been installed, but the threshold has not been installed, but a trench more than four meters wide and more than two meters deep has been dug at the passage of the gate. This trench leads directly from the factory to a main road dozens of meters away, and then communicates with the main road with an arc transition. In the distance, dozens of people divided into three pulls, filling the trenches with lime, clay, and stones, and then tamping the foundations, and some of the smoothed roads were paved with gravel. On both sides of the road, there are many long wooden strips of about two meters, which have a cross-section of about 10 centimeters. Li Xiang looked at everything in front of him and was very satisfied, and couldn't stop nodding.
When one of them saw Li Xiang, he hurriedly ran over and shouted from afar, "Lord Li, why do you have time to come and inspect today?" This person is Li Guangsheng, who will be in charge of the heavy machinery factory in the future, and he is also the candidate recommended by Lu Wenxin. (To be continued.) )
