Chapter 68 The Principle of Frying Steel

Seeing Qian Yu's casual words, the morale of the Flying Dragon Gang had a tendency to slacken, Yue Fei said helplessly: "Ke oil Ke oil, tell me your opinion, you made the bricks and lime burning, you should be in charge, what you let you do, let's do it!" ”

Qian Yu: "First of all, I must explain that burning lime and burning bricks seems mysterious, but in fact, the process is not complicated. Unless we can close the whole village like the brick kiln village, no outsiders can enter. ”

Yue Fei shook his head: "This is impossible, not to mention the rest, our position alone is not good, as long as others climb to the mountain, we can see everything clearly." ”

"So there is no need to deliberately keep it secret, in my opinion, we should recruit people with great fanfare, burning bricks and lime is originally manual work, and the technical content is not high, so what can you do if you learn it? I have the ability to burn it myself! People who are willing to burn bricks by themselves are poor, even if they buy our bricks, at most hundreds of dollars, we can't make much money!

In fact, we should put the target customers in those who have a lot of land at home, or the family runs the business, these people have money in their hands, and they don't have the energy to build a kiln to burn bricks, as long as the price is right, the quality is good, I think no matter how much we produce, we will not worry about selling. ”

When everyone heard this, it suddenly dawned on them, yes, even if the output of red bricks is increased tenfold now, it will take a month to build a house for those eighteen guests. This is just the beginning, and after a while, word of mouth will spread completely, and there will only be more orders, so there is no need to stick to the brick-burning method.

Not to mention that Qian Yu has passed on the skill of burning bricks to Yunxi Village, and they are powerless to keep it secret.

Qian Yu continued: "Of course, there is still a need for secrecy.

We can separate the people we recruit, and those who dig the foundation are only allowed to dig the foundation, those who build walls are only allowed to build walls, and those who burn bricks are only allowed to burn bricks. In this way, the more detailed the division of labor, the higher the efficiency, our wages are more generous, and over time, these people will find that instead of going home and working alone, it is better to help us work, and then use the money to buy bricks directly.

What we have to guard against are those who fancy our line of work and want to recruit people to compete with us. But as long as the division of labor is clear, it will be very difficult for them to figure out all our processes.

Unless they can poach people in every link, but the cost is too great, the weak can't do it at all, and the strong can do it, but with this strength, can you look at our small construction team?

In addition, in terms of technology, we must also have a sense of confidentiality, for example, when we command them to burn lime, we only order them to move stones, burn fires, and supply air, and the specific number of ingredients, how long they burn, and the size of the flame in the kiln, not a word can be mentioned, and try not to let them see more. Some things are just separated by a layer of paper, as long as they don't explain it thoroughly, they won't be able to learn it for the rest of their lives. ”

Seeing that what Qian Yu said was reasonable, all the brothers nodded convincingly.

Qian Yu began to talk about the specific details, everyone listened attentively, and when they didn't understand, they immediately asked, and Qian Yu also answered them one by one. In fact, Qian Yu didn't want to steal a lot of things himself, but after everyone mentioned and asked like this, he suddenly became enlightened, and even some ideas they thought were better than Qian Yu.

For example, recruiting people, the monkey proposed to find some people who are familiar with the brothers on weekdays, as well as some old brothers in the gang, these people are very good, and even more capable, but they are forced to leave because of their livelihood, and now that they have a way to make money, it is better to find strangers than to find them at ease.

After discussing everything, it was already midnight, and tomorrow's affairs were arranged, and everyone went to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

Early the next morning, Yue Fei took the monkey to recruit people, Han Niu and Bobcat inspected the fixed stalls, the ram and the big bear stayed behind, and the yellow dog followed Qian Yu to do chores. This was specially requested by Qian Yu, because today he was going to meet a special guest.

Blacksmith Zuo stared blankly at the alternative architectural style of the Wyvern Gang, his eyes were a little dazed, especially the red bricks like glass under his feet. Rao is that he is quite proud of his skills, and he is also cautious, this thing knows that it is worth a lot at a glance, and he can't afford to pay for it.

Qian Yu didn't think there was anything, he pulled the big foot of the left blacksmith stained with mud and water and stepped on it directly, seeing that he hesitated, he explained indifferently: "Don't worry, these bricks are all burned by us, and it's a pity that they were thrown away to pad the road, if you like it, pull a car when you go back." ”

Left Blacksmith......

Looking at the room full of brand-new iron-smelting tools, the blacksmith's eyes shone brightly, and he looked at this and touched that as if he had seen his own child.

Despite his extraordinary skills, his blacksmith's workshop was shabby, and many of the tools he had ever dreamed of were what he wanted, and how nice it would be if they were his own!

Qian Yu can understand the mania of the blacksmith Zuo, the more skilled the man, the more persistent he is to tools. He was about to bribe the other party with these things, so that he could bow his head and bow down, but he saw the blacksmith Zuo suddenly close his eyes, and opened them three seconds later, and his eyes had returned to their original clarity: "Let's start now, let's say okay first, I will only stay here for four hours, and I must leave after four hours." What now? ”

Qian Yu waved his hand casually: "Don't worry, I'll tell you the principle of frying the gang first." In fact, steel and iron are both alloys of iron, but the carbon content in them is different. Oh, what is carbon, you ask? Carbon is an element......

Forget it, I can't tell you clearly, you can understand that the reason why the iron we see is very soft is that it contains a lot of carbon, as long as this carbon is removed, it will become the hundred steels you said. In fact, the process of folding a long iron bar in half with water and repeatedly forging it with a hammer is the process of carbon removal. ”

Zuo Blacksmith's face changed, Qian Yu said that the forging skills of 100 steels were completely correct, although the actual operation was more complicated, but he knew that adding water to fold and forge was the core, even if people who didn't understand anything before, as long as they practiced more according to this method, they could also make qualified 100 steels.

This method has been passed down from generation to generation by his ancestors, and it has long been the ultimate secret of their clan. In order to protect this law from leaking, his father was hunted down to death, he moved several times, and every time he acted carefully, but now the other party said it casually......

How did Qian Yu know that the ancients' steelmaking method he saw at random on the Internet was actually a secret that was not passed on? He corrected: "However, folding and forging to remove carbon is too wasteful of raw materials and undesirable, so I chose the frying method!"

The principle of the frying method is also very simple, we only need to burn the iron raw materials into molten iron, add oxidant and stir it fully, in order to ensure that the steel is made without other impurities, the oxidant is best to use pure iron oxide, or iron ore, and the rusty iron is also ......"

Looking at the big bag of rust that Qian Yu took out, the corners of the blacksmith's mouth twitched, I threw this thing in the way, can it still be made of 100 steel? Are you kidding me?

But the employer is willing to toss, he will not be stupid enough to give advice, it is a fool not to make money if he has money!
