"Do you have a way?"

Master Qi Wu's face was full of suspicion, and he refused to believe it, and looked at her from a distance of two steps away from Luo Xiaoqiao.

"Well, let's not talk about this first, Master Qi Wu, can you tell me about the purpose of this structure?"

Luo Xiaoqiao pointed to the drawings and said.

"Aren't you all drawn? What else do you want the old man to say? ”

"I don't really understand, why do you have this bevel? Why do you have to feed from above, discharge from below, and why is the tuyere open in this position..."

For the sake of the drawings in this chapter, Master Qi Wu endured his disgust with her gender.

In addition, Luo Xiaoqiao took the title of Princess Jing again, and it was impossible for his own people to rob him of his job, so Master Qi Wu did not hide it.

"That's... Can you tell me about this size? Luo Xiaoqiao asked tentatively.

"Qi Wujin, you tell her", after speaking, Master Qi Wu went back.

Luo Xiaoqiao completely understands that smelting iron ore is, to put it bluntly, to find a way to get a high-temperature mixture and reduce iron ore.

The existence of this blast furnace is to achieve this purpose to the best extent.

Blower power is the core power system.

Then it's easy to do.

Luo Xiaoqiao thought about it and began to write, she wanted to make the blast furnace larger, and with the power of the steam engine blast, it should be at least three times larger.

Luo Xiaoqiao stayed in this courtyard for half a month.

During this period, she requisitioned a blast furnace, dozens of workers, and made iron herself.

Practice makes sense.

When Luo Xiaoqiao once again spread out the dense drawings on the table, what she saw was finally no longer Master Qiwu's nostrils or the back of his head.

Master Qi Wu looked at it for three days before and after, and he and his disciples also calculated it in detail, and found that Luo Xiaoqiao's drawings were really feasible except for the power system.

"Do you know what is the biggest problem with your blast furnace?"

"Motivation is the wind, this is not a problem", Luo Xiaoqiao is full of confidence.

"I'll wait and see."

……

During this time, Luo Zhiping stayed in Beikou Town and walked around the market all day long.

He was already a good talker, and he quickly established a good relationship with the locals.

From the master master to the little master, to the earthmoving materials, almost all of them have been touched.

"Mingyi, you go back and bring a few of the newly built steam engines," Luo Xiaoqiao said.

She can't do anything else, but the blower, that's not a matter of getting her hands dirty?

She had seen it, and now she was using a fan, although the wind was very strong, in front of the blower driven by the steam engine, it was not enough.

Five days later, Ming Yi quickly transported the steam engine, and he thought of Zuo Mulin's painful face, and he thought it was funny.

After tossing and turning in the Northland for so long, there are only two steam engines that can be counted in two slaps, and if they are to be requisitioned at this time, they will have to work overtime again.

What Luo Xiaoqiao unfolded in his hand was a design drawing, of course, it was not the design of the blast furnace, but the blower.

Although these people make a living from iron-making and steel-making, and the forging parts are not as skilled as Old Man Wang and others, they are not bad, and before the arrival of the steam engine, they built other spare parts according to the requirements.

As soon as Ming Yi entered the courtyard, he saw several pairs of eyes that were almost red, staring straight at the behemoth behind him.

"Girl, bring it here, there are three in total, and Elder Wang won't give it more", Ming Yi scratched his head helplessly.

"Enough, let's do it first", Luo Xiaoqiao said, anyway, there are a lot of ironware and people here, so if not, she will let people make a few more sets here, and produce and sell them by herself.

With a lot of people, a lot of money, and a design that wasn't so advanced, a blast furnace with a length of 18 meters was erected.

Master Qi Wu came over on the day of the ignition.

Although he was prepared, he was still taken aback by the behemoth in front of him, the feed port was so high, what about this ladder?

The apprentices of Master Qi Wu will complete the necessary raw materials such as ore, charcoal, limestone and other processes in an orderly manner.

Master Qi Wu looked everywhere and saw that Qi Wujin shook a handle, and a conveyor belt moved to the mouth of the furnace with a full ingredient cart, flipping...

The steam engine was bubbling "suddenly", and the flames were already coming out from above the blast furnace, and it was obvious that it was burning more fully than usual.

They didn't have to wait long before a hot red molten iron flowed out from the bottom......

"It's done!" Qi Wujin was the first to run over excitedly.

Luo Xiaoqiao also breathed a sigh of relief.

This place is very close to the mine, but after all, it is not so convenient to rely on manual transportation, so she wants to go to the mine to have a look, and by the way, improve the way of transporting ore.

But this time, Master Qi Wu didn't give any face: "No, women must not appear in the mine, unlucky!" ”

Luo Xiaoqiao: ... MMP, sooner or later, one day you will know whether a woman is auspicious or unlucky.

In the end, she had no choice, she still asked for the map of the mine, and pondered and drew two tracks. Anyway, there is no shortage of materials, so you can try the railway here first.

Since there isn't that much iron for the time being, let's just build two wooden rails and make a few wooden minecarts......

Qi Wutong stared at this wooden rail system, yo, it is really efficient, and the minecart runs on the track, saving time and effort.

The main reason why such a minecart can move on the wooden rails without falling off is mainly due to the wheels, which have a rim on the inside of each wheel to firmly snap the minecart to the wooden rails.

He really couldn't help but praise this girl, and within a few days of coming, it greatly improved their efficiency.

Of course, it is impossible for such a rudimentary system to be without its shortcomings, at least the wheels and wooden rails wear out extremely quickly, but later, as they slowly wrap themselves in iron, the situation is much better.

"Mr. Qi Wu, the minecart is coming!" The man who was waiting at the door to unload shouted.

"Push it in!" Master Qi Wu commanded loudly.

"No problem!"

……

"Brother Zhiping, how did you recruit people?" Luo Xiaoqiao asked.

"It's all right, more than 100 have been recruited, according to what you said, you can work in three shifts", Luo Zhiping answered with a smile.

"Let them come".

……

The iron-smelting workshop started in such a vigorous manner.

When the people who came to work heard that they were coming to Shixian County, they were all unhappy, but they came over with 40 copper plates a day and food and shelter.

When they came, they really didn't want to leave.

The new houses, all in order, were freshly built for their lodging.

I thought that the work of forty yuan a day must be used to kill people, but who would have thought that the owner would only let the owner work for four hours a day, and pay additional subsidies for working at night......

As the people who came went home to visit their relatives, the reputation of the iron-smelting workshop in Shixian County spread, and I heard that it was the industry of Princess Jing in the future.

"Village chief, what should I do? So many outsiders came over, and they didn't listen to us at all", Shi Chengcai from Stone County said with a face full of anger.
