The early morning wind blew away the bloody gas, and Wang Liang woke up from his hangover, went out of the house, and soon found the old black mountain sitting in the pile of dead people, with a cigarette butt thrown beside him.

When Wang Liangpin saw so many dead people, his legs were weak, and his snot and tears couldn't help but flow down, and he said, "Old Black Mountain brother, what are you doing here?" Do these foreigners have such a big enmity with you? ”

Old Montenegro grinned and said: "This Russian officer is the one who killed my wife, that day he and a Chinese woman came to our village to find someone to work, my wife went and never came back, his sentence 'we can discuss wages', I have always remembered it." ”

At this time, other lumberjacks also came out one after another, and everyone was panicked when they saw so many people dead, and Old Black Mountain smiled faintly and said: "One person does things and one person is responsible, and I will take the blame alone." ”

The killing of eleven Russians in Old Montenegro took place in the early hours of December 5, 1894, and is known in history as the "Lumber Yard Incident". This incident gave Tsarist Russia an excuse to garrison troops in the northeast, and in the following month, Tsarist Russian soldiers successively increased their troops to the northeast under the pretext of "protecting the road".

Soon, Lin Yuan, who was far away in the Ryukyus, got the news, and from the news that the Russian troops were stationed to protect the road, he smelled the smell of war, and their newly recruited army soldiers did not have weapons yet, which made him anxious.

He came to the steel mill and saw that the coal had been unloaded from the ship and piled up in the pre-built warehouse, the coking equipment was ready, and the blast furnace was also built.

When I came to the open-hearth and converter workshop, I saw Liu Jinqiu here, stunned at the rows of steel barrels, which are used to hold molten steel, Lin Yuan walked up and asked, "Mr. Liu, what's wrong with you?" ”

Liu Jinqiu frowned and said: "The cast steel has too few shapes, I'm afraid it can't meet our needs." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Liu Jinqiu said: "I think this is another stumbling block for the British, they only give us a kind of steel mold, which means that the steel we make can only be cylindrical." ”

Lin Yuan said: "That's not good, the first batch of steel we make must be used in manufacturing and processing equipment, we need to build machine tools, stamping machines, refining equipment outside the furnace, we must need all kinds of steel molds." ”

Liu Jinqiu shook his head and said: "Let's not mention the refining outside the furnace, we are too short of sensors, refining outside the furnace, and the lack of complete detection and control equipment is simply unimaginable." ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Then can we build the steel mold ourselves?" ”

Liu Jinqiu sighed: "Yes, but none of us will do it." Even in modern steelmaking plants, many steel molds also need to be made by hand, and our engineers on the ship can design the molds, but if you really want to do it by hand, you can't do it, and if you want to do this thing well, you have to rely on experienced masters. ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Won't you do it either?" ”

Liu Jinqiu said with a smile: "I am engaged in theoretical research, and it has nothing to do with handmade things!" ”

Lin Yuan thought of Cheng Jiuzhen and said, "Can't Cheng Jiuye do it?" ”

Liu Jinqiu nodded and said, "He can do it, but there are still not enough people in their Cheng family, we need more manpower." ”

Lin Yuan thought for a while and said, "I have seen an iron statue in the king's palace, it is said that it is cast with molten iron at one time, I wonder if the person who made this thing can make a mold." ”

Liu Jinqiu said: "It should be possible, why don't you go find him and see if he can help." ”

When Lin Yuan came back in the afternoon, he found that the coking plant had begun to run, and some of the coke had been refined, and he was walking when he saw Shen Wanqing walking towards him and asked him, "How is it, have you found that person?" ”

Lin Yuan sighed and said, "I found it, but no one even looked at me, so they brought me back." ”

Shen Wanqing covered her mouth and smiled for a while, and said, "It's not the first time that our captain has been closed. ”

Lin Yuan said: "Besides, that old man is now playing mahjong every day." ”

When Shen Wanqing heard "mahjong", her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she said, "Maybe there is a way to help you invite him out of the mountain." ”

Lin Yuan asked her, and she said, "Then you will know the way." ”

The two walked through the streets and alleys, and came to the door of a quiet courtyard, there was a sparse mahjong sound from the door, Lin Yuan said at the door: "I have inquired, this old man's name is Chen Bo, and his ancestor is also from China, and he is best at casting iron." ”

Shen Wanqing bit her lip and thought for a while, and said, "Well, isn't it just an ironworker!" See what I do with him. ”

After speaking, he didn't knock on the door, pushed the door and entered the courtyard, Lin Yuan didn't expect her to be like this, there was no way, so he had to follow, Chen Bo didn't know Shen Wanqing, but he recognized Lin Yuan, Chen Bo smiled and said: "Housheng, you go back, don't you all use machines to strike iron now?" What else do you want me to do with this old man? ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "We didn't come to you to go out of the mountain, we came to play mahjong with you." ”

Chen Bo was quite confident in his level of playing mahjong, and said with a smile: "Little girl, do you know how to play mahjong?" ”

Shen Wanqing's answer surprised Lin Yuan, and she replied with a smile: "No." ”

The four people at the table all laughed, Shen Wanqing didn't care, walked to the table with a chair, and said with a smile: "I won't, you can teach me." ”

Chen Bo Ha laughed and said, "Look at your female doll looking white and tender, as soon as I see you, I think of my granddaughter, okay, I'll teach you how to play." ”

Shen Wanqing smiled after watching a few handfuls: "It turns out that mahjong is so simple, it's so boring." ”

Chen Bo smiled helplessly, and Shen Wanqing said again: "Otherwise, let's play a few games, if I win, you can go up the mountain to help us make things." ”

Chen Bo smiled disdainfully and said, "What if you lose?" ”

Shen Wanqing looked confident and said, "I will definitely not lose." ”

Several people at the table laughed again, and at this time, one person had already given up his position, Shen Wanqing sat at the table, what Lin Yuan didn't expect was that Shen Wanqing actually won five games in a row!

Shen Wanqing spread out her hands and said, "Senior Chen, you lost." ”

Chen Bo was stunned and speechless, and he asked, "Didn't you say you wouldn't be able to play?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "I don't know how to play, but as long as I know how to win, I can win." ”

Chen Bo shook his head and smiled: "Okay, admit defeat, I promise to help you make molds, but you have to let me understand, how do you manage to win every game?" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "This is simple, when I play, I know the cards of each of you!" Do you think I can not win? ”

Chen Bo couldn't help but ask, "How did you do it?" ”
