Lin Yuan replied: "We have to use non-destructive detection techniques to detect whether there are cracks inside the weld, and also check whether the seals are intact. ”

Shen Wanqing said: "Although I don't know much about the detailed structure of the boiler, if it is like what you said, it is too simple." ”

Lin Yuan said: "I specially inquired from the factory workers today, the water used in this factory is pumped from the nearby river, their water treatment equipment is relatively backward, so some ions in the water can not be removed, and after a period of use, scale is produced, and after a long time, the water pipe is blocked, so the amount of steam produced is reduced, and their cleaning equipment is not advanced, and the scale cannot be completely removed, so a batch of new boilers are replaced." ”

Shen Wanqing was obviously not very interested in Lin Yuan's explanation, smiled slightly, and said, "You take your time here, I'll give you the wind." ”

Shen Wanqing walked out of the door, Lin Yuan checked the boiler by boiler, the grate used to burn coal at the bottom of the furnace, the pressure gauge on the furnace body, and the water level gauge, he specially took a look at the nameplate, which wrote the parameters of the boiler when it left the factory, including the amount of steam generated and the steam pressure, etc., after reading it, he felt a sense of regret, originally he thought that if the steam generation of these boilers was large, and the steam pressure was high, he could use them to drive the steam turbine to generate electricity.

The top of the furnace was too high to see, Lin Yuan looked around, and found a shelf that could be moved, which was used by the stoker when adding water to the furnace, Lin Yuan moved the shelf again and checked the top of the stove.

After working for more than two hours, the ten boilers were checked, and at this moment, Shen Wanqing said in a low voice: "Someone is coming." ”

Lin Yuan hurriedly came out of the factory with Shen Wanqing, at this time the British patrol was already twenty meters away from them, fortunately their oil lamps were dim, and they couldn't see the two of them clearly.

After the two of them jumped over the wall, they left the rope near the wall, and Lin Yuan fixed the rope to the big tree before jumping over the wall, so that the two of them could pull the rope and climb out of the wall directly, but when the two of them ran towards that place, there was a roar of vicious dogs from behind.

It turned out that the patrol team found someone entering the factory, and thought that someone had come in to steal something, but they were also skeptical of this idea, if they wanted to steal something, they should go to the finished product warehouse to steal the fabric, and run to the place where the waste was stored for what to do? They didn't want to come closer, so they released the two German blackbacks that were used for patrol.

The German black-backed dog is a well-known military police dog, its size is huge, its strength is strong, and the time of a hundred-meter sprint only takes a little more than six seconds, such a speed is naturally not comparable to people, Lin Yuan saw two calf-sized dogs rushing towards him and Shen Wanqing, subconsciously touched his waist, and thought: "It's bad, I didn't bring a gun!" ”

The two dogs rushed to the front in the blink of an eye, and when they wanted to pounce, they saw Shen Wanqing raise her hand, and the two vicious dogs wailed, and no longer stepped forward.

When he arrived at a safe place, Lin Yuan asked, "Do you have a hidden weapon with you?" What did you hit those two dogs? ”

Shen Wanqing raised her hand, and saw that there were more than a dozen nails in her hand, and she smiled: "The nails they installed on the wall are thin and long, and they actually broke from the root when they broke it hard. ”

When it came to the appointed day, Lin Yuan went to the factory to check those machines, but he didn't expect that the manager really replaced the waste ones with good ones for Lin Yuan to check, Lin Yuan pretended to be confused, deliberately pretended not to know anything, and happily agreed, the manager saw that Lin Yuan was easily deceived, and his conscience found that each waste machine only used two hundred taels of silver, and also came with a blower.

Lin Yuan considered that this boiler was very heavy, and it was inconvenient to carry it even if it was disassembled, so he borrowed a steam crane from the factory, and Lin Yuan had not yet told Zhang Shiliang about it, so he paid half of the deposit first.

As soon as I returned to the capital, I saw many eleven or twelve-year-old newsboys on the street, holding the Kanto newspaper in their hands and shouting: "Outside the number! General Lin's clever trick to get rid of the famine! ”

"Special report! The imperial court issued a new law for disaster relief! There are a lot of fish in the sea! ”

Lin Yuan knew that Emperor Guangxu of Lu Dao must have been entangled in disaster relief at this time, and he would no longer care how his article was written.

Shen Wanqing said angrily: "That old thing surnamed Li actually betrayed me, and I won't help him anymore." ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Forget it, that Li Laoxiu is so old, this matter will pass, you don't have to hate him too much, just help him when he can't live his life." ”

The two separated, and as soon as Lin Yuan returned home, he noticed that something was wrong, and felt that the house was different from before, so he hurriedly called the housekeeper Liu San and asked, "Why are there so many people in the house?" "It turned out that after Cixi gave Lin Yuan the mansion, there were only Guan'er, housekeepers, nurses and others in the house, and there were no more than thirty people in total, but when I looked at it today, there were many more people, and they were all fresh faces.

The housekeeper said: "The criminal department has already condemned Long Wu to death, originally according to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, plotting rebellion is to sentence Ling Chi to death, but the criminal department thinks that Ling Chi is too troublesome, so he simply sentenced him to beheading, the case is serious, and he will not wait for the autumn queen to ask for beheading, two days ago, he has already shown his head in the vegetable market, and the mother and daughter, wife and concubine, and sisters of the rebellious prisoner's family must be paid to the meritorious ministers as slaves, isn't this sent to you?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Who are all from Long Wu?" ”

The housekeeper replied: "They are all Long Wu's wives and concubines, maids and maids, this Long Wu's parents died when he was a child, and when he grew up, he did all the things that hurt the heavens and reason, so he didn't have any children." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Okay, let them all go." ”

The butler said, "That's not going to work." ”

Lin Yuan asked puzzledly, "What's not to do?" ”

The butler replied, "Many of these people have nowhere to go, and you have not let them go, but you have killed them." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, just let them stay here." ”

At this moment, someone outside came to report, saying that Zhang Shiliang asked to see him, Lin Yuan hurriedly invited him to the living room, Zhang Shiliang was naturally grateful, Lin Yuan said: "How are you preparing for the construction of a factory in you?" ”

Zhang Shiliang hurriedly said: "The venue and road traffic are ready. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "I have prepared ten steam engines and a batch of textile machinery for you, you tell me the location, and I will transport the equipment to you." ”

Zhang Shiliang said the location, which happened to be near the British factory where Lin Yuan bought the steam engine, Lin Yuan thought: "It's okay now, I'm still worried that it will be very troublesome to transport the equipment." ”

Zhang Shiliang had a difficult look on his face and said: "Lord Lin, if this equipment is used, won't there be fewer workers who need to use it?" If some workers are dismissed, they will all belong to the villagers, and they will not be able to get by. ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "In my opinion, the problem you are facing is that the number of workers is not enough, since there are textile machinery, then we will recruit more workers and expand the scale of production." ”

Zhang Shiliang asked, "But, where can I find this worker?" ”

At this moment, the butler came in and said, "Lord Ronglu sent a post, asking the adults to go to the banquet in the evening. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "How can this group of people be a banquet all day long!" ”
