Chapter 49 Earth Blast Furnace, Kiln

On days when snowflakes are falling, on such days, there will always be some people who die, either freezing to death or starving to death.

And on the days not far away, it is a festive day like the New Year.

It's a pity that some people can't have such a celebration anymore.

All they left behind was a glass of loess and a name that was gradually forgotten.

I worked hard to live, but I couldn't live.

It's a mockery, and it's a naked reality.

It turns out that giving is not equal to receiving.

But now, there is such an opportunity, as long as you go to work, you can get food.

When they heard such a thing, those who were in a desperate situation saw the dawn of life, and in such a cold winter, there was still warmth.

They couldn't believe it, but the other party was a village chief, and he patted his chest and made a guarantee.

If a village chief dares to say this, he is convincing.

Although I don't know what kind of work I can do in the winter, as long as I have food, I am willing to do any work.

Under the presence of Sun Yaozu, the recruitment went smoothly.

The village adjacent to Nanshan Village is visited by people every day.

Since there is an explanation in advance, what is needed is someone who can do the job.

The people who came were all young and strong.

In terms of the number of women, there are more women than men, and this is similar in every village.

In Daqin, there are only a few men, and I don't know how many men die on the battlefield every year.

Nanshan Village suddenly has hundreds of laborers, and in the days to come, there will be more and more laborers.

When these people came to Nanshan Village, they were puzzled.

What I saw was a ruin, and even the people were only thirty-four.

What happened to this Nanshan Village, how did it become like this?

What Nanshan Village has become is not something I have to care about.

What I have to care about is whether I can eat if I really work here.

Soon, the aroma of cooking rice porridge spreads.

Sun Yaozu stood up and said at the whole time: "From now on, everyone is also a family, we are empathetic to the hardships you have lived, it just so happens that we have a little surplus food, and we are all hard-working people who should support each other, but there is no free lunch in the world, this first meal is free, and then if you want to have food to eat, you have to work, and you will line up one by one, and everyone will have a share." ”

Someone immediately brought a pot of rice porridge.

Feeling the temperature of the rice porridge and smelling the fragrance of the rice porridge, everyone couldn't calm down.

Many of them were so hungry that they wanted to pounce on the pots of rice porridge.

Do not tempt the heart, for the heart cannot withstand temptation.

A group of hungry people, when food appeared in front of them, they did everything.

Sun Yaozu had expected it and would not let something that shouldn't have happened.

The cow, which is as tall and strong as the cow, has the strength to stand in front of the rice porridge, and everyone is honest.

Order is necessary at all times, and force is the most effective means of maintaining order.

With the powerful deterrence of the cow, according to what Sun Yaozu said, everyone lined up one by one, and everyone got a bowl of rice porridge, no one more, no one less.

When a bowl of rice porridge was put into the stomach, some people cried.

This is the people, and if they can keep themselves from starving, they will be content.

In their minds, it is to work to have food.

I never thought that before I worked, I would be able to eat a bowl of rice porridge.

For them, there is nothing more touching than this.

The doubts in their minds also disappeared.

No matter what happened in Nanshan Village, how did it become like this.

But as long as you can give yourself something to eat, you just need to do your job well.

As soon as the picture turned, Pei Yun and a person were discussing something.

This is an old man, a little short, with muscles like stones.

This person is Yu Haozhong.

He took the lead in the construction of the coal mine before.

Now that the coal mine has stabilized, Pei Yun called him over and asked him to take charge of the next construction.

After some discussion.

Pei Yun: "Can you do it?" ”

Yu Haozhong: "It's all said so carefully, if you can't do it, what face do you have to see people, please rest assured, this earthen blast furnace is wrapped around me."

Yes.

Pei Yun and Yu Hao discussed the construction of an earthen blast furnace.

It is not difficult to build an earthen blast furnace, and the role of an earthen blast furnace is huge.

When it comes to soil blast furnaces, we have to talk about soil steelmaking.

The advantages of soil blast furnace combined with soil method steelmaking are: low investment, simple and easy to master......

The general earth blast furnace only needs the same as the human body.

Specifically, it is divided into the following parts:

Cylinder, abdomen, waist, chest, throat.

In order to protect from the erosion and erosion of gas and slag, it is also necessary to keep a dead layer at a height of 300 to 400 mm.

The part of the cylinder is equipped with an iron outlet, a slag outlet, and an air inlet.

The top-down flow of the charge and the bottom-up flow of the gas creates good conditions for a series of reactions.

There is still work to be done in this regard.

First of all, there must be coke, that is, coke.

It is the product of coal mine heating to a certain extent under the isolation of air.

Coke produces higher temperatures than coal, is more resistant to burning, and is more suitable for smelting.

Then there is pig iron.

Pig iron is crushed iron ore, added limestone and coke powder to ignite, fired into lumps of iron, and continued to be smelted into molten iron at high temperatures.

In the process, dolomite is put into the process to separate the molten iron and iron slag.

Molten iron is pig iron when cooled.

The use of earth blast furnace for soil steelmaking can obtain high-quality weapon casting materials.

Here's how:

Iron, limestone, and coke are put into the furnace at one time, and after ignition, air is sent in from the air outlet below with a blower.

Coke will accelerate combustion, and the blower must continue to work to ensure that the combustion is in place.

The process is this process, and it's not difficult.

Pei Yunhui wants to build an earthen blast furnace, but he doesn't really want to build weapons.

This is to prevent this from happening.

Again, Gong Zihong sent a lot of iron ore, and after building the knife, the remaining materials belonged to him.

After Hao Zhi died, including the hundreds of people he brought, many weapons were left behind.

The blacksmith house was destroyed and needed to be rebuilt.

They simply built an earthen blast furnace.

In this way, iron ore and weapons can be refined through the soil blast furnace, which is trouble-free and effective, and can also greatly improve the efficiency of iron fighting.

However, about the earth blast furnace, Pei Yun didn't want outsiders to know.

The location of the site is also different from the village.

Pei Yun didn't think about popularizing the earth blast furnace.

If you let outsiders know that you can make iron and steel on a large scale, it is also troublesome.

As I said earlier, the earth blast furnace is a precautionary measure.

When to use it and how to use it depends on the situation.

It is not difficult to build an earthen blast furnace, Yu Haozhong can complete it alone, and the more than 100 people who recruit workers will have other arrangements.

All these 100 or so people have to do is build kilns.

After having a kiln, there can be bricks and cement.

The necessary materials have also been prepared.

The previous survey into the mountains was for this purpose.

The work on the mountain is still left to the villagers of Nanshan Village to do, and there is no idea of letting the people who have recruited workers to work on the mountain for the time being.
