Shen Wanqing said first: "Okay, let's go." So he glanced at Lin Yuan and led everyone towards the dock she had arranged before.

Lin Yuan, Shen Wanqing and Deng Shichang walked in the front, and the soldier walked behind the most, talking and laughing with the soldiers all the way, Lin Yuan asked Deng Shichang in a low voice: "Deng Guandao, do you know the origin of the soldier in Lu Dao?" ”

Deng Shichang shook his head and said, "I don't know, I came with me from the capital, I thought he was the one who was guarding me." ”

Shen Wanqing also whispered: "Are the martial arts of people in this era so high? There aren't many people who can dodge my move. ”

The three of them talked a lot along the way, and when they came to the dock, the captain of the boat saw that a group of soldiers had come, and he was so frightened that he was so frightened that the soldier first commanded his men and said, "You guys, go and carry the boxes to the ship!" ”

One of the soldiers had the courage to ask, "My lord, where are you going?" ”

The soldier slapped him on the head and scolded with a smile: "You kid is troublesome! ”

When everyone carried the boxes onto the boat, the soldier got on the boat first, and said to Deng Shichang with a smile: "Deng Guan, come up quickly." Then he said to the soldiers, "Go back, and if anything happens in the future, just push it on me." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "No matter what medicine he sells in his gourd, let's get on the boat first." So Lin Yuan gave the two of them a look, and the three of them got on the boat together.

When the ship sailed, the soldier smiled and said, "Deng Guandao, my name is Shen Tao, I know that you want to leave, and I have written down all your conversations." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Then how do you know the content of Lu Dao's letter?" ”

Shen Tao smiled: "I don't know what to do, I thought that Lord Deng was going to leave for these two days, so I waited outside." I didn't expect to keep me waiting! ”

Shen Wanqing asked, "How did you dodge me beating you?" ”

Shen Tao looked stunned and asked, "Is it difficult to avoid that?" ”

Shen Wanqing's slap was praised by the instructors at the agent training base back then, and Shen Tao smiled: "Maybe I've been practicing these things since I was a child and I'm used to it." ”

Deng Shichang asked: "I am a guilty person, what are you doing with me?" ”

Shen Tao smiled: "Of course I followed you to fight devils, to be honest, I think we can't save the Qing Dynasty......"

Before the words fell, Deng Shichang said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

Shen Tao looked helpless, turned his head and stopped talking.

There was nothing to say all night, and after a while, everyone returned to Taiwan and arranged for Deng Shichang and Shen Tao to stay, Lin Yuan didn't care about other things, and went to the steel factory to see the situation first.

Before arriving at the steel plant, I saw a long line from afar, connected to the steel plant from the port, and found that there was no way to transport the equipment on the ship to the steel mill after being unloaded, although the site of the steel plant was very close to the port, but after all, there was a distance, there was no large transport vehicles in this era, so I had to mobilize the local people, some pushed wheelbarrows, and some drove horse-drawn carriages to transport the parts of the equipment to the steel plant for assembly.

The last time the British replaced the high-quality bituminous coal with inferior lignite did not succeed, this time the bituminous coal was honestly transported, because the people's carriages and donkey carts were limited, the carts were all to pull equipment parts, and the people here had to use a basket, dustpan to transport coal to the factory, and some people directly used a large cloth to wrap the coal and leave.

Lin Yuan was watching, and suddenly saw an old man waving to him to say hello, Lin Yuan took a closer look and found that this person was wearing Ming Dynasty clothes and carrying a bag in his hand, it was Cheng Jiuye who had visited that day.

Lin Yuan hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Ninth Master, why are you here?" ”

Cheng Jiuye said with a smile: "Your old man Liu Jinqiu asked me to burn a batch of porcelain, and we burned it and sent it to me." ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "Haven't you heard that Liu Jinqiu likes ceramics?" So he smiled and asked, "What kind of porcelain does he want?" ”

Cheng Jiuye said with a smile: "The things he wants are very ordinary, but they are not ordinary, he actually wants to burn some ceramic bricks, these bricks must have a hole that can be ventilated, I fired one, come and show him today." ”

So the two went to the steel factory, and on the way, Cheng Jiuye smiled: "I didn't expect it to be so difficult to build a steel plant, and these things still need to be transported by horse-drawn cart." ”

Lin Yuan smiled: "Everything is difficult at the beginning! At the beginning, our navy used sampans to fight other people's destroyers, and now we even have aircraft carriers! Lin Yuan sighed with these words, without considering whether Cheng Jiuye could understand it.

Sure enough, Cheng Jiuye was like a monk who was the second of his own - he was confused and asked, "What did you say?" ”

Lin Yuan waved his hand again and again and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, when I didn't say it." ”

The two came to a factory, this plant is coking, the engineering personnel are installing coking equipment, Lin Yuan found an engineer and asked: "Where is Liu Lao?" ”

The engineer went back and said, "Liu Lao is staring at the converter over there." ”

Lin Yuan and Cheng Jiuye came to the workshop, only to see Liu Jinqiu holding the equipment catalogue and asking a British engineer: "Why is there no equipment to measure temperature in your equipment?" ”

The engineer looked dazed and said, "The temperature of the molten steel is more than 1,300 degrees, and I can't think of anything that can measure this temperature." ”

Unlike the steel smelting of later generations, the control of the temperature of molten steel in this era mainly depends on the experience of workers, in fact, in modern times, there are many small and medium-sized enterprises that still judge the temperature based on experience, and factories with strong technology will use infrared thermometers.

Lin Yuan asked, "Old Liu, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Jinqiu said: "The British stumbled on us again, I know that when making steel, you can look at the brightness of the furnace and the color of the molten steel to judge the temperature, but this method does not work when refining, we know that the temperature can control the gas content in the molten steel, if the gas content in the molten steel is more, it has a great impact on the performance of the steel!" ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "Old Liu, don't be angry, there is such an advanced refining technique in this era, you will be settled." When we develop and develop, these things will be there, and there are infrared thermometers on the Beijing ship, but they are used to monitor nuclear reactors, so they can't be taken down! ”

At this time, Cheng Jiuye coughed lightly and said, "Brother Liu Xian, I brought the brick you asked me to burn last time." ”

When Liu Jinqiu heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "That's great, it's burned with bauxite, right?" ”

Cheng Jiuye smiled: "Of course, of course. As he spoke, he handed over a brick with a pipe from his bag, Liu Jinqiu took it in his hand, looked at it over and over, and couldn't put it down.

Lin Yuan asked, "Old Liu, what do you want this thing for?" ”

Liu Jinqiu said with a smile: "This thing can be used to refine steel, we pass argon gas through this pipe and blow it into the liquid steel, which can remove impurities such as hydrogen and oxygen inside." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What does this have to do with bauxite?" ”

Liu Jinqiu said: "The main component of bauxite is aluminum oxide, and it can withstand high temperatures when smelting breathable bricks with this kind of thing. Then he sighed: "Alas, I have to sigh, the craftsmanship of our ancestors!" ”

Lin Yuan said again: "Did you just say argon?" Where do we go to get argon? ”

Liu Jinqiu said with a smile: "There is a way to do this, you don't have to worry." ”

At this time, Lin Yuan's communicator rang, and a message came that Shen Tao brought by Deng Shichang had a fight with Chen Fei.
