Chapter 218: Glass Smelting

Sharp's optimistic estimation of Xia Lin stopped talking, no matter what, Xia Lin is also his boss, and Xia Lin has established a huge industrial park in the past six months, and his prestige in the Sharp Center is also quite high, Sharp naturally will not continue to refute Xia Lin's statement.

"In short, this kind of steel bar can help us build the building higher, although the development of the new area is not very good now, but it will definitely be a good place for every inch of land in the future, and we still have to plan ahead.

After the completion of the first phase of the employee community project, the subsequent construction of the 12 blocks will be carried out with this specification, so the demand for steel bar is also very large."

Xia Lin simply finalized the matter, and then said to the group of factory directors who began to talk to each other again:

"Alright, we're done with our third thing, and the fourth and fifth things are pretty much the same, and that's that I'm going to set up a new shipbuilding and shipping company.

This required a lot of skilled sailors, shipbuilders, workers, and a few captains. In terms of shipbuilders, I will seek cooperation with the Colin Chamber of Commerce, but we at the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce also need to come up with a group of suitable people to build with them.

In addition, the soda ash plant and the caustic soda plant need to send a team of about 40 technicians to assist me in completing the research and development and manufacturing of glass in the caustic soda plant, and at the same time, the industrial park needs to build a new glass factory, and the specific shape and drawings can be carried out with reference to the caustic soda plant.

Wyatt, is there a problem with these two things?"

"Boss, if the matter of the shipbuilder can be solved through the Colin Chamber of Commerce, then other matters such as sailors, dockyards, raw materials, etc., can be solved by our New Leaf Chamber of Commerce relying on the alliance.

Many of the sailors and captains on the four river cargo vessels we hired had also sailed the open sea routes, and we could change our contracts with them for an additional fee.

However, the soda ash plant and the caustic soda plant lost a lot of employees in the previous disaster, and I definitely can't get 40 people, so if I control the number of people to less than 20, I can still transfer them, otherwise it will affect the daily production of the two factories."

Wyatt, who sat to the right of Charlin, explained smoothly, showing his knowledge of the affairs of the industrial park.

In fact, in addition to a cursory glance at the production, personnel, finance, warehousing, and transportation reports submitted by each factory, Xia Lin basically set a general direction for the development of the industrial park.

The specific affairs were all handled by Wyatt and the staff recruited by the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce, which was also the reason why there was not much turmoil in the industrial park after the news of Xia Lin's death broke.

"If there is no problem with the shipbuilding and shipping company, then this matter will be left to you to prepare!

I have previously explained to Her Majesty the Empress the idea of a new warship, specifically to move the guns to a structurally suitable ship for fixation, and Viscount Hart has seen the power of the artillery, and you only need to explain the idea to him, and he will probably agree to cooperate with us.

Keep in mind, though, that we have a bottom line, and that is that we have to have our craftsmen or apprentices learn from the experienced craftsmen of their shipyards.

….

As for the glass matter, twenty people should be enough. Speaking of which, Wyatt, there's nothing wrong with our Chamber of Commerce's funding, right?"

Emphasizing the importance of technical learning, Charlin then thought about the issue of funding and asked Wyatt.

"There shouldn't be any pressure, boss, from last year to the end of February this year, the total profit of our Xinye Chamber of Commerce was 7,657 gold lundes.

You previously withdrew 5,000 gold lunds and handed them over to the Greg Chamber of Commerce, and the "Imperial Capital Xun Bao" newspaper was restructured into a daily newspaper and applied for 100 gold lunt funds.

It cost about 325 gold to pay for the employees who were damaged in that disaster, and you withdrew 800 gold in the name of special expenses, and now we have 1,432 gold in the books of our chamber of commerce.

Although I don't know much about the shipbuilding industry, build a dock near the river bank of the new district that meets your requirements, and hire a group of suitable craftsmen

There should be no problem with taking in a group of apprentices!"

Wyatt elaborated.

Xia Lin estimated a little in his heart, and then nodded with satisfaction, according to his calculations, there should be no discrepancies in this account.

Among them, the large expenditure of 5,000 gold lunt was what Xia Lin promised to Empress Dorothea at the court meeting, and it was also the foundation money that Xia Lin handed over to the Greg Chamber of Commerce for cooperation.

The special expenses were part of the pension and various expenses of the new army after the initial battle exceeded the alliance funds, and the new army lost more than 300 people in the battle of the southeast gate, and according to the pension and subsidy system formulated by Xia Lin, it was necessary to pay a pension of almost 1,000 gold lundes.

And the first appropriation of 3,000 gold lunt for the new army has long been left, and the alliance can't take care of the affairs of the new army for the time being, so Xia Lin can naturally only pay for it himself, and by the way, take this opportunity to continue to expand his influence in the new army.

"Then I'm relieved, then that's the end of today's meeting, and everyone will go back now to arrange the dynamics reform, and I'll see the first version of the report on my desk before the fifteenth.

Wyatt, Wheeler, you two and I are going to the two soda factories now to send manpower, and the development of the glass must be completed as soon as possible."

Xia Lin already had a large backlog of things to deal with in his hands at this time, and immediately said resolutely.

When the meeting dispersed, the industrial park was noisy again, and all the factory directors focused on the 0.5% individual shares, and each took measures to start to inspect the technical backbone of the factory according to the requirements of Xia Lin in the power reform plan, and carefully checked that the equipment and production links could be replaced by water power.

On the other hand, the employees of the two soda plants have long been accustomed to being transferred back and forth, and after the two factory directors of Wyatt and Wheeler simply called out people from the workshop to communicate and talk, soon eighteen regular employees came to the caustic soda plant, where there are still abandoned soda furnaces that have not yet had time to be dismantled, and Xia Lin is aiming at these five furnaces.

"From today onwards, we need to develop a special material, this material is called 'glass, first of all, you eighteen people are divided into four groups, you, and you, come and act as my assistant, responsible for recording the production process and all kinds of data.

Let's renovate these four furnaces first, and then we'll see if our batch of crucibles from the steel mill can be used!"

Xia Lin said a few words, and officially began to prepare for the research and development of glass, which requires a furnace to heat the crucible to 1550 to 1600 degrees Celsius, a temperature that the original furnace used to burn soda ash and hydrated lime in the caustic soda plant to produce a small amount of caustic soda cannot reach.

Therefore, Xia Lin first had to let people renovate four of the furnaces to a certain extent, add bellows, air ducts and regenerators on them, and at the same time use the multi-stage air filtration chamber set up in the caustic soda plant according to local conditions, so as to obtain relatively pure oxygen and pass into the furnace to help fuel combustion.

In addition, the strength of many materials will be damaged at the high temperature that can be achieved after the furnace meets the requirements, so Xia Lin specially transferred a batch of heat-resistant crucibles for testing molten steel components from the steelmaking plant.

These crucibles were fired by the old blacksmiths in the steelworks, but instead of their traditional clay crucibles, they were made from diatomaceous earth and magnesium hydroxide by Xia Lin.
