Chapter 11 How Steel Reinforcement is Made
On the banks of the Dry Stone River in the Stone Field, today can be said to have ushered in the largest number of people in history.
Wei Jian led Mei Lanju and the three daughters, followed by a large group of people pulling cattle and dragging wooden carts.
The purpose of Wei Jian's trip was to transport back the sand and gravel from this dry stone river. The first time the construction started, the amount of work was large, and Wei Jian asked the third daughter to be responsible.
Of course, the residents of these stone lands are not curious about what Wei Jian is going to do, they will only recognize money.
A battle to transport sand and gravel began, and at the same time, the mining and firing of the mountains behind the Wei Mansion continued under the command of Xiaozhu.
There was a girl named Winter, who seemed to be provoked by someone. She traveled all the way through the territory of the Zhou Dynasty, and the cold breath made the people of the Zhou Dynasty dare not go out.
Wei Jian's mining work was also stopped under the wrath of the winter girl. However, at this time, Wei Jian counted the results.
The cement that had been fired into the finished product filled fifteen caves, at least 100 million tons.
There are five caves for semi-finished products waiting to be fired. Of course, there are still two stone caves vacant, which were left by Wei Jian himself, I don't know what the use is.
In the large open space that was dug up in the back mountain, two sand and gravel mountains were piled up.
As the saying goes, some people are happy and some are worried, and the residents of the stone land can be said to have earned a lot of money under three times the salary. Even the landlord's concubine this year has found two more rooms.
At this moment, Wei Jian was counting the results with joy, and the four girls beside him complained in his heart. For most of the year, in addition to digging the mountain, it is panning sand stones. Looking at the expenses like flowing water, I had to sigh that Wei Shao was a loser.
The people of the Zhou Dynasty are all celebrating the reunion festival, but Wei Jian is good, and the coquettishness of the four daughters failed to redeem Wei Jian's decision.
Others are celebrating the festival, good guys, but Wei Jian took the four girls to buy the blacksmith shop in the stone land. More than 40 blacksmith shops in stone land were purchased with a lot of money.
After buying the blacksmith shop, he gave the blacksmith four times the salary. It was also rumored that whoever provided enough iron material would not only buy it at a high price, but also reward 10,000 gold nuggets.
There must be brave men under the heavy reward, and the blacksmiths have their own way, so rare iron materials are sent in an endless stream.
Under the condition that the iron material was sufficient, Wei Jian gave each of the blacksmiths a drawing, and asked the blacksmiths to make a model according to the shape of the drawing.
In fact, Wei Jian's drawing is very simple, it is a mold for making steel bars. After half a month, the mold was finally formed.
When Wei Jian poured the molten iron into the mold, a low-profile version of the modern steel bar was successfully introduced.
Looking at this four-meter-long steel bar, Wei Jian almost cried with excitement. Kissing the steel bar, Xiaozhu flew and kicked Wei Jian into the corner.
"Ahem, ahem, you crazy girl, why are you kicking me......"
Wei Jian touched his waist and shouted angrily at Xiaozhu.
"If the young master thinks that your mouth can be comparable to the temperature of iron, young master, please continue, Xiaozhu will never stop you!"
Xiaozhu took two steps back and stood in line with the other three girls, and Xiaozhu's words made the three girls cover their mouths and snicker.
Wei Jian was slightly embarrassed, patted the soil on his body, and waved his big hand at the four women: "Let's go, master, I'll show you how the steel bars are made today!" ”
Forty blacksmith shops are in existence under Wei Jian's supervision, although they are a little ugly, but these flaws are ignored by Wei Jian.
Due to the scarcity of iron, coupled with the cumbersome process, and the immaturity of technology. The "steel bar field" in Wei Jianhou Mountain can only receive twenty steel bars a day.
