With the establishment of the "Koizumi" arms brand, a group of business representatives began to build up the product catalog and sales system little by little. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in addition to the kobold that a lot of black technology beyond the times, less than a month of effort, everyone found that this is a hen that lays golden eggs!

Although the customers were mainly medieval tribal chiefs, and the iron ore mines were controlled by the Portuguese, the profits were not significant at all.

But when it comes to credit, in addition to those 'business representatives' who put forward suggestions for improvement, Liu Jingtian and other traversers who squatted at home and buried their heads in climbing the science and technology tree are the most decisive people.

I have to say that the price and technological level of the Age of Discovery are a bit laughable - the price of iron is close to the price of copper, and the price of high-end steel is even close to the price of silver.

The level of metallurgy varies from country to country. The blast furnace used for iron-making is considered a bad street in China, and it was invented long before BC. But in Europe, it turned out to be the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries on the eve of the Age of Discovery, invented in Northern Europe, and most of the other countries except England did not master this set of technology......

But what I have to accept is that as soon as the price of European steel raw materials dropped, plate armor began to appear, and then the super weapon of 'Maximi full-body plate armor' was invented, and high-end goods and muskets can resist a single resistance.

In short, even the traversers didn't realize that their half-baked inventions, which seemed to be on the ground, were proper black technology in this era.

The kobold's blast furnace has actually undergone an unknown number of generations of improvement. Xiao Bailang's construction level is so high, and many of them are from the experience of brushing up when the steel plant built the blast furnace.

In the early days, the blast furnaces were all disposable, and they were finished after two or three days, and the inside was even burned. To put it mildly, some stoves don't even take as long as they take to cover the stove.

After dismantling and dismantling the lid like this, the kobold didn't feel anything, Liu Jingtian couldn't stand it first: "This is different from what I imagined!

Well, then change, where there is a problem first, change it first.

In the beginning, everyone replaced the ordinary clay bricks, which were not resistant to burning at all.

After using a variety of raw materials such as kaolin, quartz sand, bauxite, etc., I experimented with a variety of formulas before developing my own refractory bricks.

But refractory bricks are not a panacea, they just melt slowly. Therefore, in the part where the furnace temperature is highest, ceramic pipes are installed into the furnace wall, and the inside is cooled by running water.

After a set of combination punches, the lining lasted a lot longer, but someone was still not satisfied: "The lining has been burned for a long time, and there is a cracking phenomenon, continue to change!"

The kobold then improved the bricklaying technique, and finally used coke powder and dehydrated tar to make an extra layer of protection, and the life of the furnace was extended to more than a month.

But the life of other components could not keep up with it - for example, the air inlet and tap hole, where the temperature was more than 1,000 degrees, so the development of iron water-cooled parts, one component can sometimes last several furnaces.

In this way, the kobold's blast furnace is becoming more and more high-end, and in the last month, the latest blast furnace has steadily maintained the level of three tons of pig iron per day, and the life of the blast furnace is more than a month, and the labor cost has been greatly reduced.

Everyone has calculated that if the supply of raw materials is sufficient, the annual output of 1,000 tons of pig iron should not be a problem.

"That's it?" Liu Jingtian was dissatisfied: "A steel mill with an annual output of less than 10,000 tons can only be called a workshop! We will build iron and wooden rib ships in the future, and the annual output of 10,000 tons is the foundation, in short, continue to develop new products!"

Britain, with a population of 3 million in the north, produces 30,000 tons of steel a year, but more than 100 years later, due to the industrial revolution, it 'skyrocketed' to 75,000 tons, and it has been crying and fainting in the toilet......

The kobold worshipped and bowed down to the invincible demon king with great foresight, and immediately began to develop a new product according to the highest instructions: a blast furnace with a volume of 100 cubic meters, the furnace shell is made of iron, and the refractory bricks are built inside, and there is a water cooling device inside. It is estimated that as long as consumables such as refractory bricks are replaced regularly, this furnace will not be a problem for half a year.

The only problem is that once such a blast furnace is successfully developed, the ore will never be available......

Many years later, everyone realized that the blast furnace we built in the Middle Ages was classified as a small blast furnace in later generations, and as long as it was added with equipment such as a blower, it seemed that it would be no problem to use it until World War II......

With iron and food in his hands, Liu Jingtian still couldn't sit still, and began to make calculations against the aborigines again.

In his eyes, the development of kobolds is still too slow, and whenever he thinks of the changes that will happen in a few years, he is a little restless.

"Within a year, two high school students should go back to school, otherwise their beards will grow and it will be too unpleasant. In three or five years, Xu Ping'an will probably have to go back to serve the elderly. Tesfir estimates that it will last less than five years, and the animal protection will not last long. In short, in five years, the old man will have to fight against all mankind alone...... It's going to snowball!"

The question is how to roll, and it's really a problem......

Brush the dragon tooth soldiers with all their might, and the annual output is only more than 10,000, and there are no waves at all in this era.

Someone who is more anxious, leaves the steel plant to produce slowly, and personally escorts a convoy of transports, and starts to run there often Li Dewan, maybe the 'business representatives' will have a suitable plan......

A week later, in a vacant lot of the 'Hassan Clan', a transport team brought another batch of new products, accompanied by a thousand kobold bodyguards with hidden heads and tails, as well as Liu Jingtian, the great demon king.

The last time I came here, it was half a month ago, but I didn't expect it to be much more lively now.

There are not only large and small tents, but also more building materials all over the ground, a large group of men shirtless, sweating rammed earth to build houses, and some people in gorgeous costumes shuttling through, this is probably the businessman who heard the news?

Li Dewan is now extremely glad that he has developed the 'four-hour rest method every day', otherwise he would not have been able to persist in so much work.

Command your subordinates and plan your camp in an orderly manner to provide convenience for the player's caravan and indigenous buyers.

And continue to train yourself to be the foundation of your life - 2,000 samurai, and at the same time to deal with those damned sharks: Marrakech has smelled the gold coins and has begun to send tax collectors.
