Having fought with all his might against the Dwarves (the Copperbeard Clan, to be exact) in and around Lawrence, Velvet fought with great success, and since he had a great advantage, Qin Shouzhuo focused on the research and development (or reproduction) of steel processing technology. After all, the original intention of engaging in steel is to engage in pharmaceuticals, and it is not possible to put the cart before the horse.

Just when the copperbeard dwarf was overwhelmed by the shrinking of orders, Qin Shouzhuo led people to make dozens of steel processing machinery, including 5 kinds of rolling mills, and the Babia Industrial City gradually took shape, and the mass production project of magic potions, which had been stagnant for more than half a year, finally saw the light of day. For Qin Shouzhuo, the dwarves have never been competitors, this race has occupied the top of the continent's steel smelting and forging technology since a thousand years ago, and the modern so-called dwarf master is a skilled worker in Qin Shouzhuo's view, and he has no interest in technological innovation, but just constantly exercises his craft and reproduces the glory of his ancestors.

Not to mention cheating guys like Qin Shouzhuo, a thousand years ago, the Terran was still in the period of bronze and iron generation, while the modern Terran has been able to produce good steel in large quantities. Although there is still a big gap between the steel produced by the human race and the dwarf steel, the progress of this thousand years is real, even if there is no Qin Shouzhuo, at most in a few hundred or a thousand years, the human race's self-produced steel can catch up with the performance of the dwarf steel, and the dwarves at that time will only be worse than now.

Compared to dwarves, human craftsmen are not much better. As the Lawrence Empire and its surrounding markets, which were the main targets of Wildwitte, the Dwarven Copperbeard Clan, which originally occupied the largest market share, saw its shipments drop by 86%, while the shipments of human self-produced steel, which was not the main target of Babia Steel, also fell by nearly 50%, and they were mainly concentrated in high-priced, high-quality varieties, and those low-quality steels and ordinary iron materials were not affected by anything.

In fact, there are many blacksmiths from all over the Lawrence Empire and even abroad, and even formal craftsmen who have already graduated from the school have come to apply to join, and even re-apprentices. The reason is actually very simple, Velvet's low-price dumping strategy has forced the dwarven steel to be unsalable, and it has also forced the human steelmakers to be unable to mix, knowing that Qin Shouzhuo has adopted a new steelmaking process, he naturally came over to learn. As long as you learn it, you can turn around and open a bigger iron shop. What is patent protection?

However, they all miscalculated.

Considering the current situation of this world's development, there is also a technology-intensive, which can be learned by the natives of the world whose illiteracy rate has reached 94.5 percent? Not to mention the blacksmiths who can't even write their own names, even if they are low-level magicians who participated in the whole process of construction, they will be able to understand the formula? It's not the same as if you don't know three questions, you know that you can work according to Qin Shou's drawings and requirements.

Qin Shouzhuo knew that there were many human blacksmiths in his territory who came to steal the master, but he didn't pay attention to it at all, not to mention anything else, how many people in this world can make pure oxygen? The one who can make it is not the great mage of the wind system, and will come to help you work? Besides, with an investment of 30 million silver coins in the first phase, you have to seek the support of the empire and the military, otherwise you can't find out just the tens of thousands of low-level mages and warriors who are used as workers.

The thousands of human blacksmiths who wanted to steal the master, in Qin Shouzhuo's opinion, were just a few thousand reserve workers, and they were boldly absorbed into the factory, all of them were masters who had been dealing with iron for many years, even if they didn't have fighting spirit and magic power, there was always a suitable position for them. Especially those masters who have been in the blacksmith industry for many years and have a small reputation, Qin Shouzhuo gathered them around him to help develop and improve the rail production process.

Steel rails are still only used in the Babia Mine, which was made by Qin Shouzhuo in order to enhance the efficiency of ore transportation, but because the equipment was really simple at that time, it basically relied on various magic to simulate the environment of the steelmaking furnace, and due to the lack of equipment, this first batch of steel rails was cast, not rolled, which was very problematic.

According to Qin Shouzhuo's knowledge of the rail production method, there are two main types: one is the long process process, and the other is the short process process. The long process process is to use the ore as raw material through blast furnace and converter smelting, and then through the outside of the furnace refining and vacuum degassing treatment, after effectively controlling the composition and harmful gases, the billets are cast into a certain size by the continuous casting machine, these billets are heated to the rolling temperature in the step-by-step heating furnace, and then sent to the billet opening machine to open the billet to form a prototype of the rail, and then carry out reversible multi-pass rough rolling in the universal continuous rolling mill, and finally roll out the finished product on the universal finishing mill. After the finished rail is cut into a fixed length by a hot saw in a hot state, it is sent to a step-by-step cooling bed for cooling, and then sent to the intermediate warehouse for pushing, waiting for processing. The rail cold hardening process is: firstly, the rail is sent to the flat and vertical combined straightener for straightening, the surface and internal quality inspection of the rail (ultrasonic and eddy current flaw detection) is carried out, then the rail is milled and drilled, and finally the quality of the processed finished rail is checked and packaged.

Modern rail production process short process process: it is to use scrap steel as raw material, through electric furnace roughing, LF furnace refining, VD furnace degassing and then continuous casting machine to cast the required size of billet, and the rear process is the same as the long process. Comparing these two processes, it is not difficult to find that the two processes have many common processes, such as refining, degassing, continuous casting, universal rolling, etc., which are the main characteristics of modern rail production processes. It embodies the "three refinement" requirements of rail production, namely "refining", "finishing rolling" and "finishing", which are simply incomparable with the traditional die casting and ordinary hole type rolling process.

For the manufacture of steel rails, Qin Shouzhuo only knows so much, blast furnaces and converters are replaced by electric furnaces, flaw detection can be replaced by the magic and fighting spirit of magicians and samurai, there is no continuous casting machine can be cast one by one, the efficiency is not enough manpower, but what is a universal continuous rolling mill, a universal finishing mill or something???

But it doesn't matter, there is a stupid way, which is also the reason why Qin Shouzhuo gathered these blacksmiths who are not bad in craftsmanship and experience.

We can't get the almighty, we can get a special plane.

This "special plane" does not refer to an airplane, but to a special machine tool, which is said to have been the world's largest power during the Cold War, helping them achieve a strategic balance of power when their basic technology is inferior to that of their opponents. Although there is a single production product and poor flexibility, when the processing workpiece changes, it is necessary to stop the machine, stop the line and adjust or replace the tooling equipment such as machine tools, fixtures, and tools (such as replacing the spindle box, cutting tools, fixtures, etc.), usually the adjustment workload is large, and the production time is long. Especially if you want to switch to other products or upgrade products, many special machine tools in the production line are scrapped and must be replaced with new equipment.

However, there is such a thing as steel rails, Qin Shouzhuo here can ensure at least 30 years of technological leadership, which is still on the basis of Qin Shouzhuo's efforts to help others develop basic education and professional education, and he does not update himself.

This is true for rail processing, and the same is true for magic potion production equipment, almost all of which can only rely on special planes or simply produce by hand, which can be regarded as an industrialization with otherworldly characteristics. Originally, the set of production equipment that Qin Shouzhuo used for experiments was finally declared dead after nearly a year of operation, because the parts in it were all kinds of makeshift and all kinds of barely able to do it, because Qin Shouzhuo at that time could be said to be nothing, which was almost the limit that could be achieved by relying on magic manual production.

This is also the reason why Qin Shouzhuo was not in a hurry to build large-scale equipment, but turned his head and ran over to make steel, the world's steel production is not enough is one aspect, the other aspect is quality, the slogan of "annual output of 100,000 tons" was shouted at the beginning, such a large equipment was scrapped in only one year or half a year, who can afford it.

With the scrapping of that set of equipment, the action of "free supply of magic recovery potions" that lasted for more than half a year naturally came to an end, and even those students who were in the habit of taking drugs besieged the Shiweitian office, beating, smashing, and robbing in various ways, demanding that the supply be restored. Human beings, when they take too much free things, they always feel that they deserve their share, and ignore the kindness of the provider. Suddenly, one day there was no more, and I felt that I had suffered a loss, and I felt that others had not done a good job, and it was reasonable to ask for things and make trouble.

And then...... They were suppressed.

Just kidding, they will be greedy for this little cheap, basically they are students with poor economic conditions, and their families naturally have no strength, they should be caught, killed, and can they still bubble up? Is this really a civilized society and a democratic government?

With so many students arrested, the Imperial University naturally wouldn't say a word, and came to Qin Shouzhuo with the materials to discuss the explanation, but in essence, he came to urge the progress of the magic potion factory, and there were also envoys from various bigwigs who had been involved in the imperial capital. When they learned that the project was progressing well and that Qin Shouzhuo had developed half of the equipment for the project, the delegation that came to interrogate them expressed their great satisfaction, and returned to the imperial capital with the gifts sent by Qin Shouzhuo.

What? The claim that the student was caught?

The reality is so cruel, the society is so cold, so many students have been beaten and arrested, and the Imperial University has never taken it to heart, and has never thought of standing up for them, including Christina, the dean of the Academy of Magic. Just kidding, they smashed the dean's student's shop! The dean's student is developing a big business in which the academy has a stake, and even the graduation has been delayed, the sacrifice is so big, the academy doesn't take care of it and runs to find trouble, it's too inhumane.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, half a year has passed since the graduation season, and Qin Shouzhuo remembered one thing: "Damn, Lao Tzu's graduation exam!" After asking the head of the house Christina, he got the "Peace of mind to do the project, and go back and arrange your exam separately." Answer. And at the end of the year, Qin Shouzhuo received a document, which was the application of the copperbeard dwarf, and they finally couldn't hold it anymore.

"Well done that Velvet guy, let's go back and divide his shares. ”
