406 Oju Road Tangcheng No. 1 Smelter was completed

"Three to the construction site, three don'ts, you must remember when you go to work!"

"Don't hug the opposite sex casually, otherwise you will be sent to jail!"

Li Bai listened to the propaganda team organized by the stone spear on the construction site, shouting these slogans everywhere, and felt that his toes were on the ground.

That's right, that's what he wrote.

At the beginning, he wrote an article, which was called a brilliant writing, but Tang Ping looked at it twice and rubbed it and threw it in the trash.

In Tang Ping's words, Li Bai wrote like that so that these miners could understand, and it was better to throw them all in prison and go to labor camp for a few days.

After several drafts, it was finally changed to the way it is now.

It's a little embarrassing, but it's catchy and rhythmic.

Soon many miners will shout along, and the more they shout, the more they will naturally know the specific content inside.

It can also be regarded as reducing the conflicts between the people who came here from the Tang Dynasty and the aborigines here due to cultural differences.

Datang's equipment and personnel were transported to Tangcheng in Ozhou Road one after another, and the construction speed was repeatedly accelerated.

Soon the first smelter in Tangcheng was finally built.

On the day of the unveiling, in addition to Tang Ping and Li Chengqian, Tang executives such as Tang Dynasty executives who did not have jobs, and the aborigines of Ozhou Road also arrived here.

They all wanted to see what was so amazing about this blast furnace that it could turn stone into hard steel.

At present, the coke blast furnace used in the first smelter of Tangcheng can be said to have been produced by concentrating thousands of years of science and technology in the world after the Tang Dynasty.

First of all, the technology of coal desulfurization solves the problem of sulfur making iron brittle, and uses fully burned coal to create a high temperature for melting wrought iron.

Then the hot blast stove invented in Glasgow, Scotland in the 19th century was adopted, and the preheated air was used to save half the fuel and obtain a higher furnace temperature.

Finally, anthracite coal is used directly as fuel.

This set of coke blast furnace system was an important force to push the industrial revolution to a climax.

Tang Ping and Li Chengqian glanced at each other, and then the two of them each turned a winch.

The ground iron ore particles and the coke from the dry distillation of coal are pushed into blast furnaces in layers that are tens of meters high.

Then in the hot blast furnace, high temperature air of up to 1200°C is blown in from the bottom to make the coke burn at a high temperature of more than 1500°.

The whole hot blast stove began to work with a whine.

Tang Ping shook hands with Li Chengqian, and then shook hands with Ren Fei, the first smelter sent by the Tang Dynasty.

"That's it?" The people of the Tang Dynasty below and many aborigines saw it in a fog.

"Didn't you say ironmaking? How do you pour the stone coke into it and it will be gone? ”

"Yes, what about iron?"

These people perfectly interpreted what it means to eat melons, and finally a craftsman who worked in the Chang'an smelter explained to them: "Do you think that if this iron ore is poured in this way, the molten iron will come out there?" ”

"I'll tell you, it's still early, this is the first furnace, it will take at least a day or two days to produce molten iron, and it will take about 5-6 hours in the future."

After hearing this, these people were disappointed, and they came today to see the prince and the prince shake hands.

Some people who are usually familiar with Tang Ping shouted: "Pingguo Gong, when the time comes, call everyone to come and see!" ”

"Yes, there are no idlers here, and they are all busy!"

When Tang Ping was fine, he was either in the mining area or on the construction site of the new city and dragged these people to gossip, and many people were very familiar with him, and they didn't treat him as the grandfather of the Tang Dynasty at all.

"Okay, okay!" Tang Ping said with a smile: "I'm not afraid that I will shake hands with the prince today, or if there are few audience members to clap my hands, it seems that I and the prince are very faceless?" ”

"Why don't we all come, and we both take two shots?"

The people and the natives laughed when they heard his words, and then slapped them twice in agreement, and they almost dispersed.

Li Chengqian said with some envy: "My cousin can have a good relationship with the people wherever he goes. ”

This is not a compliment, or it is because Tang Ping has a special sense of affinity, even if the Wild Dog Tribe is so afraid of the Tang Army, now the people in the Wild Dog Tribe can pull two sentences when they see Tang Ping.

Tang Ping said with a smile: "As long as you forget your identity and think of yourself as someone like them, then you can do it." ”

To put it bluntly, he still feels in his bones that he is the little boss of the convenience store who is lying in the convenience store cashier, and it is as if he is chatting with other bosses or passers-by on Wenchuang Street, so naturally there is no shelf.

The people and aborigines who left said that they were waiting for the molten iron to come out and asked Tang Ping to inform them, but in fact, they were more active than anyone else.

As long as it's okay, I walked here, stood at the gate of the factory and asked the doorman: "Is the molten iron going out?" ”

On the second night, when I heard that the first molten iron was coming out, the smelter was surrounded again.

Tang Ping and the others also came again, and after asking the craftsman in charge of the operation, they knew that they could indeed produce molten iron, so Tang Ping handed the horn in his hand to Li Chengqian.

Li Chengqian shouted with excitement: "Open the furnace!" ”

All the people looked excitedly at the opening of the molten iron, some climbed the wall, some climbed the tree, and some stacked arhats, anyway, they all looked at the exit.

There was a creaking sound, the outlet was opened, and then the molten iron, which was exceptionally bright at night, slowly flowed out of it.

"It's out, it's out, it's really out!"

"Did the stone really turn into water? Is this shiny red water the red stones we dig up? ”

"Can this water-like thing become something as hard as a pickaxe?"

With countless questions in mind, the molten iron flows into molds that have been prepared long ago, where they slowly cool down into ingots.

It was getting late, but none of the onlookers were sleepy, and more and more people were rushing here.

Even if they have work tomorrow, they want to witness this historic moment.

For the craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty, this blast furnace was built by them little by little.

For the aborigines, the iron ore in the blast furnace was dug out with iron picks, and the burning coal was also dug out with iron picks.

They are here to witness the fruits of their own labor.

Tang Ping discussed it with Li Chengqian, and then directly announced that tomorrow there would be a day off on the whole Austrian Road.

"Yay!"

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

Just when people were happy to have a day off tomorrow, a smelter craftsman shouted, "Cooled, molten iron cooled!" ”

Tang Ping and Li Chengqian rushed over and asked the craftsman to take out a mold and flip it over.

"Dangchang!" With a bang, an iron ingot fell to the ground.

"It worked!"

"We made it!"

At this moment, the people and aborigines of the Tang Dynasty forgot what they wanted and what they didn't want to do, and they forgot that they couldn't hug others casually.

They all found the people around them and hugged each other tightly to celebrate this rare moment.
