The name of the ore in this era cannot be the same as in Lin Fei's era, so Master Guan didn't understand the word "pyrite", his face was at a loss, Lin Fei smiled: "This kind of ore contains 'sulfur', if we burn this stone now, there will be a smell of sulfur, this kind of ore must be smelted with limestone to remove sulfur, otherwise the iron smelted is very brittle, am I right." ”

Master Guan was stunned for a moment, and said in amazement: "You actually know so much? ”

Lin Fei nodded with a smile and said, "I still know more, when you use this ore to make iron, you should first calcine these stones, when they burn, they will produce a kind of poisonous smoke, right?" ”

Master Guan's face changed, and Ling Xue said in surprise: "Yes, that kind of smoke smells weird, how do you know?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "That kind of poisonous smoke is called sulfur dioxide, which is an important raw material for the manufacture of sulfuric acid, and the use of sulfuric acid is too great, so those poisonous smokes are all treasures, you all used to spoil the treasures, and now that I am here, you can't spoil these treasures anymore." ”

Master Guan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth, Lin Fei picked up another piece of ore and said with a smile: "This is chalcopyrite, why did you put it together with pyrite?" There is a big difference between the methods of smelting iron and copper. ”

When Master Guan heard this, he shook his head again and again, and said, "All the people who have been transported in the past few days are pyrite, and there is no chalcopyrite, how can it be chalcopyrite?" ”

Lin Fei walked up to Master Guan with a knife and a stone, slashed on the stone with a knife, pointed to the scratched mark and said, "You see that this mark is yellow-black, and this stone is obviously chalcopyrite." ”

Master Guan picked up the stone and looked at it in front of him, nodded, and sighed, "The future is terrifying." ”

Lin Fei laughed and said, "Master Guan, don't be so depressed, we Chinese will be famous in the world in the future." ”

Master Guan was touched by Lin Fei's words, lowered his head and pondered, Lin Fei knew that it was useless to say too much, so he said to Ling Xue: "Xue'er, I have seen the ore and smelting, now you can take me to see the machining part, there should be a forging workshop and a casting workshop here, right?" ”

Ling Xue nodded, and then took Lin Fei to the forging workshop and the casting workshop, both of which were equipped with all kinds of equipment, although they were all made of earth, they could barely be used.

Lin Fei looked at the construction bureau, then said goodbye to Ling Xue, returned to his residence, and as soon as he came back, he asked people to find Yu Xi'er, Yu Xi'er came quickly, and when he saw Lin Fei, he smiled evilly and said, "Where did you go with Miss Ling Xue?" ”

Lin Fei said helplessly: "Why are you interested in these things? I went to their construction bureau and looked at their production capacity. ”

Yu Xier asked, "Then what do you think?" Can they build weapons for us? Our priority is to make bullets. ”

Lin Fei sighed, shook his head and said, "It's okay for them to build a bureau and make some iron tools, but they can't do anything about making weapons." ”

Yu Xi'er frowned when he heard this, and said, "That's not good!" Sooner or later, our bullets will run out, and we won't be able to replenish them. ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "So I decided to let you solve this problem!" ”

Yu Xi'er laughed and said, "How do I solve this problem?" ”

Lin Fei smiled meaningfully and said: "Don't forget, you are British, I heard Chen Fu say last time that there are many British businessmen in Taiwan, why don't you ask them to buy equipment." ”

Yu Xier's eyes lit up and said: "This is an idea, but I don't know much about machinery and equipment, and I don't know what to buy." ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "You just have to rest assured, I have already written a list of equipment for you, as for the question of money, we have looted a lot of pesos from the Spaniards, even if we take it and spend it, as long as we can buy these equipment, we will pay as much as possible." Yu Xier agreed to come down and discuss with Chen Fu about buying equipment.

In the evening, the owner of the printing factory sent a brief history written by Lin Fei, and Lin Fei handed the brief history to the tea king, and asked him to take the local Chinese to teach the Filipinos, and Lin Fei arranged the construction of the road overnight, and handed over some of the explosives to the miners, and placed the chemical reaction equipment brought from the sugar factory and the distillery in the city, and continued to produce nitroglycerin explosives with the raw materials brought back from the plantation.

Lin Fei used the method of history education to assimilate the Filipinos and obtain a stable development base, in which he developed the transportation industry, the mining industry, the metallurgical industry based on the smelting of steel, copper and other metals, and the chemical industry such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid and nitroglycerin, which laid the foundation for later development.

The next day, Yu Xier and Chen Fu were about to take a transport ship to Taiwan, before leaving, Lin Fei said to Chen Fu: "While buying equipment, you must buy three things, these three things must be bought back, understand?" ”

Chen Fu saw that Lin Fei said solemnly, so he asked solemnly: "What three things, even if you say it, I will not forget." ”

Lin Fei said: "The first one, saltpeter; the second, cinnabar; The third is cotton. Remember? ”

Chen Fu was surprised when he heard this, and asked, "Why these three things?" I understand saltpeter, but what is the use of cinnabar and cotton? ”

Lin Fei smiled: "I explain to you now that you don't understand, so let's do it, I'll explain it to you slowly when you buy it back." ”

Chen Fu didn't ask much, so he set off with Yu Xi'er, and as soon as Yu Xi'er and Chen Fu left, Lin Fei came to Ling Ji Construction Factory, Ling Xue saw Lin Fei coming, and hurriedly came over and smiled: "What is Captain Lin doing here?" ”

Lin Fei smiled: "I'm here to teach everyone, please gather all the craftsmen." ”

Ling Xue agreed, and quickly gathered more than 100 craftsmen, Lin Fei took out a folding ruler and vernier caliper from his pocket, first introduced everyone to the matter of changing weights and measures, and then took out a piece of paper from his pocket and said, "Please come and see what is on this paper, can you understand it." ”

Everyone came over one by one to look at it, shaking their heads, Lin Fei said: "There are three drawings on this paper, which is a drawing of a part looking at it from three directions, I call it three views, and the size is also marked on the map, everyone is familiar with this method of marking size." ”

It turns out that Lin Fei showed everyone a modern drawing, modern industrial drawing is a special discipline, there are many rules in this discipline, including how to mark the size, how to mark the size tolerance, how to draw the section of the complex surface, etc., these things need to go through a certain amount of learning to master, for people who have not learned these things, he can not understand a drawing, Lin Fei is teaching the craftsmen how to read the drawings.

The drawings used by these craftsmen in the past were very simple, not as precise as modern drawings, and it was difficult to adapt to Lin Fei's drawings for a while, so Lin Fei had to teach them slowly.

Lin Fei taught for a morning, the craftsmen finally understood, Lin Fei saw that it was almost time to eat, so he told everyone to leave, and everyone kept Lin Fei for lunch, Lin Fei said that he had important things in the afternoon and must rush back to the barracks immediately, so he politely refused.

Lin Fei walked out of the construction bureau, and suddenly a crisp shout came from behind him: "Captain Lin." ”

Lin Fei looked back and saw Ling Xue walking towards him quickly, Lin Fei hurriedly asked, "Xue'er, is there something wrong with you?" ”

Ling Xue reached out and took out a string of knots from her pocket, handed it to Lin Fei, and asked, "This is yours, right?" I see it falling out of your pocket. ”

Lin Fei looked at it and found that this knot was the Zhulian rope given to him by Chiyo Mika, and hurriedly took it and said, "This is indeed mine." ”

Ling Xue suddenly sneered and asked, "This knot is so delicate, it must have been given to you by a girl, right?" There was a bit of naughtiness in her expression, like a cute little girl, not at all like the stubborn and strong girl.

Lin Fei nodded, and Ling Xue asked with a smile, "Captain Lin, do you like these gadgets?" ”

Lin Fei replied casually: "It's okay." ”

Ling Xue covered her mouth and smiled, turned around and ran. Lin Fei didn't take this matter to heart, and returned to the barracks, at this time the barracks was recruiting, and the Chinese children enthusiastically signed up, and soon the number reached four hundred, Lin Fei wrote down their names, and then asked them to go home first and come back tomorrow.

In the afternoon, Lin Fei gathered the brothers who had been brought out of the prisoner of war camp and taught them command knowledge, and the size of the army would definitely grow larger and larger in the future, and it would not work without officers. These people have been in the Qing army, so they more or less have the bad habits of the Qing army, such as beating and scolding subordinates, bullying recruits, etc., Lin Fei emphasized and forbade these things one by one.

Lin Fei taught everyone for an afternoon, and he was not allowed to rest in the evening, and then went to the study point to see the Filipinos studying, and saw that the Filipinos gradually accepted that they were part of the Chinese nation, so he went back with confidence, and went to the highway construction site to see before falling asleep.

Lin Fei was so busy for half a month, everything was done in a good way, the craftsmen would look at the modern drawings drawn by Lin Fei, and the original prisoners of war were also like officers, at this time Chen Fu and Yu Xier bought back the things that Lin Fei needed, machining and steelmaking equipment, cotton, cinnabar, and filled more than a dozen ships.

The ship was unloaded at the wharf built by Lin Fei and transported to the city by road, and Chen Fu asked, "Captain Lin, what do you want cotton and cinnabar for?" ”

Lin Fei laughed and said, "Of course, it's to make guns and bullets." ”

Chen Fu shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out, what does cotton and cinnabar have to do with guns and bullets?" ”

Lin Fei said with a smile: "I won't explain it now, because I'm going to the chemical production area to explain to the technicians, and you will understand it at that time." ”
