Chapter 187: Blast Furnace Ironmaking
Rodri Village. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After day and night of rapid excavation, the dragon bones were finally excavated on the third day.
The huge dragon skull, almost eight meters high, is taller than a three-story house.
Each fang is a meter long, and after countless years of petrification, it still has a sharp edge.
Just looking at this dragon skull, Chen Xiao was shocked.
This giant dragon was several times larger than the Tyrannosaurus rex of his world, and this creature actually existed.
Chen Xiao had to refresh his three views.
Beneath the dragon's skull are the sternum and vertebrae, as well as a pair of huge wing bones.
Among them, the vertebrae and the tailbone are more than 50 meters long.
Chen Xiao no longer dared to imagine how huge this giant was, when he was alive.
It's the size of an aircraft carrier!
For Chen Xiao, the excavated dragon bones were a big trouble.
If he could, Chen Xiaozhen wanted to stuff this dragon bone into the space ring, so as not to leak the information and be coveted by someone with a heart.
Unfortunately, the dragon skeleton was too big, and his spatial ring had a lot of things, and he couldn't fit this skeleton at all.
He had no choice but to order Calus to build a temporary wooden shed centered on the dragon bones to hide the dragon bones, and at the same time he ordered people to put the dragon bones together.
"If we set up a dragon exhibition hall, I believe that it will definitely attract a lot of tourists to visit and visit. Chen Xiao had a whim.
This is not impossible.
The attraction of dragon bones is fatal to all.
As soon as he releases the news, it will definitely attract many people to come and find out.
When the time comes, whether it is magicians, nobles, or even commoners, they will flock to Rodri Village in large numbers.
The increase in the flow of people has a certain effect on the economic development of the village.
Hotels, pubs, and restaurants will become the most profitable industries in Rodri Village.
As soon as this idea came out, Chen Xiao felt that it was a huge business opportunity.
He called Calus and told him what he was thinking, so that he could read it out.
After all, when it comes to architecture, Calus is still a professional.
To build an exhibition hall, a lot of expertise is involved.
Hearing Chen Xiao's thoughts, Calus was directly confused.
The Dragon Gallery?
them! How dare they think about it! Aren't they afraid of provoking many strong people to compete for the bones of the dragon?
He voiced his concerns.
This is also what Chen Xiao is worried about.
"The exterior walls can be made of grey bricks, but the interior structure needs to be made entirely of steel. Steel is required to secure and protect the bones. ”
Chen Xiao thought about it and said what he thought. He had seen many exhibition halls before, and he was very clear about the layout and construction concept of the exhibition halls.
Speaking of his vision at this time directly opened the door to a forward-thinking construction concept for Calus.
He couldn't understand why Chen Xiao's brain had such an advanced construction concept, it was simply amazing.
If Chen Xiao devotes himself to being a plasterer, he will definitely become a plasterer for centuries.
"In terms of materials, I will provide them to you as soon as possible, you first follow my ideas, design the design drawings, and put together the dragon bones. ”
"Yes, sir. Calus's face was full of excitement as if he had been beaten with chicken blood.
If the exhibition hall is completed, it will be a huge feat and he may become a legendary plasterer.
Chen Xiao directly arranged for Leon to bring a team of guards to guard the dragon bones.
He then found Sapp.
The old man in the blacksmith shop was scolding the apprentices for how to smelt iron ore and forge pig iron ingots.
The iron ore outside the yard was rapidly consumed in these two days, smelting into the original pig iron ingots. At this time, a large number of pig iron ingots were piled up in the backyard of the blacksmith shop, waiting for Chen Xiao to carry out the next step of smelting.
After the coal is dried, it is then distilled at high temperature to obtain coking coal, coke kerosene and various chemicals.
However, at this time, Chen Xiao's equipment was not perfect, so he could only take his coking coal and coking kerosene, and as for the gas containing many chemical substances, it could only escape directly into the air.
A blast furnace for steelmaking was also built in the backyard of the blacksmith's shop.
Because the clay needed to make refractory bricks was uncommon, he and Calus searched for many kinds of clay before they settled on a clay with better fire resistance.
After the clay is selected, it is fired, and the refractory drill can be fired with the technique of firing masonry.
Refractory bricks with many holes are used as inner furnaces.
The steel shell with a small head and a large lower body makes the steelmaking blast furnace look like a Sydney. His blast furnace steelmaking is like the earth-based steelmaking furnace he engaged in during the Great Leap Forward, but he is more advanced and comprehensive.
According to his memory, Chen Xiao added pig iron, limestone, and coking coal to the blast furnace in a certain proportion, and then began to heat and blow air at the bottom.
Coking coal can be burned, and its temperature and combustibility are better than charcoal and firewood.
Chen Xiao has never made steel, and the first time he tried to make steel, it was also carried out in exploration.
With Sapp, a veteran of steel for decades, the steelmaking process went smoothly.
When the molten steel flows out of the blast furnace, it flows into the bed of molten steel that has been prepared long ago, where it is cooled and solidified.
Chen Xiao looked at the black smoke coming out of the top of the blast furnace, and couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth, with a strange smile on his face.
Although these wastes can be recycled, at this stage, they can only be emitted into the air.
From the time he discovered the coal mine, he had been mentally prepared to harm the other world.
The hot molten steel flows into the molten steel bed, and after encountering water, it quickly cools and solidifies.
This is the original steel, and if it is smelted twice, the quality of these steels will be better, and it is stainless steel.
Chen Xiao instructed the apprentices in the blacksmith shop to drain the hot water from the molten steel bed and take out the steel inside.
A piece of steel like a loaf of bread, heavy and gray, revealing a metallic gray color.
"Old man, how is this piece of steel in condition?" Chen Xiao asked.
Spoonmore grabbed the smooth surface of the steel block, then picked it up without saying a word, took it to the anvil of the blacksmith's shop, and began to forge it.
"Bang!" the hammer struck on the steel cake, and the force of the shock and the peculiar percussion sound made Sapp look like a bull's eye.
He was breathless.
"It's comparable to a thousand forged steels. Sapp let out a sigh of disbelief, waking up from a dream.
Thousand-forged steel is pig iron that has been tempered thousands of times.
Sapp took the steel cake in his iron tongs, put it in the calciner, and began to heat it with wind, and when the steel was red, he quickly took it out and beat it for forging.
In Sapp's blowing, the steel cake quickly changed shape, was elongated and extended, and gradually formed a model of a long sword.
After many times of quenching and forging, a stainless steel sword embryo was presented in front of Chen Xiao.
After the sword embryo was formed, Sapp held the handle of the sword embryo and flicked the sword body, and the buzzing echo made Sapp's black and red face slightly moved.
He took out a black iron sword that had been displayed in the blacksmith shop and slashed it at the black iron sword.
With a "snap", the black iron sword broke in response, and the blade of the sword embryo had nothing to do.
Seeing this scene, whether it was Sapp or those apprentices, they were all stunned.
Just the blade can cut through the iron sword, and the blade is not rolled at all.
The sharpness and toughness of this steel sword can be imagined.
This weapon, if it flows outside, I believe that many fighters will go crazy for it.
They all looked at Chen Xiao.
I saw this guy clasping his hands and smiling incomprehensibly.
