Chapter 170: Great Steelmaking!

Thundered! Thundered!

There were bursts of roaring sounds like ancient beasts, from far to near, oh should I say from high to low.

I saw a fiery red horse, which rushed down diagonally, and when it reached the ground, after revealing its full appearance, it seemed to explode, and countless sparks bloomed in an instant!

These sparks were extremely numerous, and they exploded very far, like stars in the night sky, and soon they were like meteor showers crashing into the ground and the high walls in the distance!

"Wow!"

"It's spectacular!"

"It's so beautiful! It's even more beautiful than the most beautiful scenery in the world! ”

Such a spectacular scene naturally attracted the admiration of the onlookers, at this time, on the high platform on the side, there were several people, wearing relatively thick clothes like work clothes, and holding an iron cover in their hands, and the cover also had obsidian-like lenses, and it was Li Mengyang's three concubines, Huang Rong, Yelena, and Fiona.

What are they looking at?

This majestic and beautiful scene is none other than blast furnace steelmaking!

Yes, what was washed down just now was molten iron, but our blast furnace was relatively high, and when the molten iron was washed down, it was really majestic, and the sparks were really beautiful.

Now, it is Li Mengyang and his three concubines who came to visit the steel plant that has just been completed and put into operation, and the one just now is... The first furnace of pig iron!

Accompanying them this time was not only the emperor Li Mengyang, but also William. Thomson & Cyrus. Field, the Minister of Science and the Minister of Industry, and other ministers also came to join in the fun. Because this steel plant is the first furnace of iron today. It's a big day.

“your-grace!” Thomson spoke first. Although he is not very good at Li Mengyang, the emperor, he has more respect for these concubines, "Our steel plant, the method of steelmaking is nothing special, but the production capacity is more prominent, this is probably a relatively large pig iron blast furnace in the world today, I estimate that the annual output is almost 100,000 tons, and it may also break through this number." ”

"Wow! 100,000 tons! "Li Mengyang's three concubines. You don't care if it's Huang Rong or Yelena or Fiona, they all have round mouths when they hear this number, and they are very surprised.

Everyone else also had such expressions, especially several Chinese ministers, who could be said to be shocked!

Yes, 100,000 tons a year, this steel mill is too powerful, right?!

However, our Emperor seems to be a little ......

"Hey~ It's only 100,000." Li Mengyang's tone doesn't seem to take this number seriously!

"......" Everyone was silent for a while, and they all squinted at our Emperor Xià.

It's 100,000. What else are you going to do?!

"Ahem...... "Mr. Thomson's nose is about to be crooked at this time, you are too much as an emperor, right?" The annual output of 100,000 tons is not satisfied?

But. Thomson spoke more politely first, "Of course, this steel mill also has our great Emperor Xià participated in the design, obviously, the Emperor Xià at this time is showing his virtue and modesty. ”

"......" Everyone laughed, everyone understood that this was a sarcastic emperor who changed the law, but this was Mr. Thomson's normal state, this scientist was really too knowledgeable, too powerful, and the other relationships with the emperor were indeed complicated, so he dared to speak like this.

"Oh." Li Mengyang realized at this time that maybe he had just said the wrong thing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't understand steelmaking and ironmaking, what is involved in design, don't take it to heart, it's all ......"

Originally, Li Mengyang really wanted to be modest, because he really didn't know anything about steelmaking, but he really helped a little before, that is, when this steelmaking plant was being built, he drew a few more 'chickens pecking rice'.

Don't forget, Li Mengyang was a native of the Northeast before he crossed over, and the Northeast was an old industrial base, although he was a liberal arts student, he really hadn't seen a steel mill, and yes, this ...... Only 100,000 tons? In Li Mengyang's consciousness, this kind of output belongs to the category of shutdown and rectification, right?

However, Thomson didn't let him finish his sentence, and he interjected: "Our majesty is too modest! This is the virtue of the Orientals! What's that slogan? Mr. Liszt? ”

Liszt naturally couldn't help but come to such a big event, but he also knew that there was something in Thomson's words, but ...... So what?

“hail-lee!” This slogan came as soon as he opened his mouth, and Liszt still had a trick, "What a humble emperor!" How can there be an emperor with such virtues? I've never seen it! Moreover, our majesty can help such a great scientist as Mr. Thomson! Thank you to the Lord! Your Majesty is not only a writer, a thinker, and a strategist...... A musician and even a scientist! O comrades! ”

“all-hail-lee!”

“all-hail-lee!”

“all-hail-lee!”

You must know that so many big yuan gather here, and there are still a lot of workers in this steel mill, so this slogan is simply like a tsunami!

"......" Thomson's face was pale, to be honest, he really didn't like Clint a little. This guy Lee, if he doesn't become an emperor, then it's okay to work for him himself, because this Clint . Li, he is really very talented and learned, and there are really many things that other bureaucrats and bigwigs don't have, and sometimes they can really talk together, but ......

Why did he have to be this damn emperor!

And, what's wrong with this man! How can this emperor and this dictator be given such high support!

In fact, Thomson can also figure out some reasons, that is, Clint . . . Lee did get a lot of benefits for these individuals, those revolutionaries, and followed Clint . These individuals of Li are living better than before, but ...... Can't you not be an emperor?!

"That ......" actually. Li Mengyang told the truth. He didn't want that either. But that's it now, your voice is so high, it's so popular, so even if Li Mengyang wants to explain it to Thomson, he can't help it, because he understands very well that he does that. It may make Thomson, a proud scientist, think that he is showing off to him, a demonstration.

"Hey, Hail-Lee!" Not only others, but Li Mengyang, the three concubines, all shouted, but they were obviously not serious.

"Alright, alright." As for his own popularity, Li Mengyang naturally knew that it was just his current situation...... Hey, why is it so weird?

However, at the moment, this is also a time for Liszt to compete with Thomson. It's a bit of a storm, and the court is ...... Oh no. It's in the leadership team, it doesn't seem to be harmonious, but ...... It's good, it's really good!

If they are all in harmony, then the emperor himself will be uncomfortable.

"Majesty!" At this time, Nacellus. Field interjected, his attitude was more stern and very humble, and said: "I don't understand something, we already have such a large-scale steel plant now, so how can such a high steel production be used in the future?" ”

Actually, Sellers. What Field said was more subtle, he just thought that the steel production was so large, so how to sell it in the future?

You know, the situation of the New Tang Empire in the United States is not very good now, the whole world is strangling and blockading, so no one does business with you, how can this be played?

"You're thinking, aren't you?" Li Mengyang unconsciously put on the leader's style, yes, he is the emperor, but the key is because of Field's attitude, which is more humble, Li Mengyang naturally regards himself as a leader, which is ...... Bureaucracy!

Li Mengyang quickly dispelled these messy thoughts, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms with a smile, but did not open it.

"Actually, our military industry still needs a lot of steel, so if it is 100,000 tons, I think it is not enough, we have to build more guns, anyway, I don't have too much!"

"Humph!" As soon as Li Mengyang's words came out, Thomson immediately came to a nasal voice.

He's a scientist, and as long as a scientist isn't too crazy, he won't want to use his scientific achievements in the service of the war, because that's really infamy, and it will stink for thousands of years.

But Li Mengyang had no choice but to smile now, he unfolded the paper indifferently, and then said, "In addition to guns, we still have to make this." ”

"This! ……”

"Huh?!"

When the big guys saw what was on the paper, they were all stunned!

I saw a very interesting ship drawn with charcoal on this piece of paper, it should be said that it was a ship, but this ship was completely different from the current ship, and there were stacks of cannons on it!

Stacks?

Yes, as we can see from the painting, the cannons are stacked on top of each other...... Chick pecks at Mitu, don't be too demanding.

However, the ship had a very large sign that said, 'At least 200 meters long, steel hull ......'

Oh my god!

200 meters long, what kind of a giant ship is this? And it's all metal hulls, this, this...... What the hell is it?

"Battleship! (battle-ship! "Li Mengyang has already thought of the name, that's right, this guy is drawing a battleship that will run rampant on the sea in the future!

But not ...... This style of painting really makes people complain.

However, how is it possible to build a giant ship of more than 200 meters now?

Is Li Mengyang too anxious?

"Crazy! It's insane! Mr. Thomson said so, but there was a feverish fire burning in his eyes!

Because, although the thing painted by Li Mengyang is rough and rotten, this form is really too sci-fi!

Have you ever seen such a narrow and pointed bow?

Have you ever seen so many cannons?

Have you ever seen a ship without a mast? ……

"Oooo But suddenly, that Liszt came again, "Comrades! Our great majesty is not just a scientist! He was also a great painter! no! He's a great artist! Praise it! ”

This...... As soon as Li Mengyang heard this, he was a little bit of a second brother, but!

“all-hail-lee!”

“all-hail-lee!”

It's popular, it's like that! (To be continued......)
