As for the design of all aspects of the equipment and processes of the steel plant where he stayed for a year, Xia Lin is familiar with it.

However, despite the decision to go to the blast furnace to make iron, due to the limited conditions and the tight time, the blast furnace designed by Xia Lin was not the large blast furnace of the large steel mills of the previous life, but a small blast furnace that was common in the small steel mills that were popular in the previous life.

The design height of this small blast furnace is 10.3m, the diameter of the bottom of the furnace is 5.4m, the whole is pot-shaped, and the internal structure is the bottom of the furnace, the iron mouth, the furnace cylinder, the slag mouth, the tuyere, the belly, the waist, the furnace body, the throat, the material clock, the hopper, the gas port and the attached hot blast stove from bottom to top.

It can be said that in addition to the height of only 1/5 of the large blast furnace, the shell of the furnace is made of red bricks instead of steel plates as the shell material, and the energy consumption is greater and the waste discharge is more, basically the blast furnace has everything.

The effective charging volume of such a blast furnace can reach 46 cubic meters, and the uncoked coal must not be used as fuel for such a scale of material column, which is why before the blast furnace is built, Xia Lin must first build a coking plant to produce coke.

As for the problem of equipment processing, it is not a problem to have the steel machine tools developed by the dwarf masters, although these machines are huge, but the requirements for precision are not high, and those steel machine tools are enough to do it.

Among them, the most demanding should be the double-toothed roller crusher for crushing refined coal, and it is really difficult to crush the refined coal with the metal teeth on the two large toothed rollers.

However, Xia Lin soon eliminated the idea of using a double-toothed roller crusher to crush the refined coal, because no matter how he calculated, he found that the power provided by the waterwheel did not meet the minimum requirements to drive this powerful machine.

As for the magic motive, there are at least seven or eight days to complete the research and development of the rotation technique, and it will take more than ten days for the magic motive to be officially finalized and produced, and even if the final production is completed, the power that the magic motive can provide is not sure whether it can reach the current level of water power, so Xia Lin still designs the equipment according to the power at hand.

The blast furnace designed by Xia Lin has a height of 10.3 meters, and if you want to feed from the top, you must take a conveyor belt, but the water power is not enough to drive this conveyor belt with high carrying capacity, so Xia Lin can only reduce the design load capacity repeatedly.

Finally, when the load per square meter was 23 kilograms, the gearbox converted the power of the waterwheel into three revolutions per second, providing more torque, and the conveyor belt movement speed was about 0.5m/s, he found that the power provided by the waterwheel was barely enough.

In this way, the conveyor belt can barely meet the continuous production requirements of this blast furnace, and Xia Lin finally breathes a sigh of relief.

If the conveyor belt is not up to par, then the blast furnace is a joke, after all, no one can hire a bunch of laborers to fill the blast furnace from the top of the production around the clock.

As for the problem of the crusher, although the dust problem is serious and the efficiency is still low, Xia Lin can only use the simplest gravity crusher.

The working principle of this gravity crusher is to use water power to slowly lift a huge metal hammer through the gear set, and then let it fall freely, using its gravitational potential energy to crush the refined coal in the working box.

After making a plan for the iron and steel industry, it is estimated that the total investment in the coking plant and the steel mill is about 2,200 gold lunds, and after withdrawing the funds from the commercial bank, Xia Lin began to organize the ten dwarf masters of the machine tool factory who were newly arrived in the industrial park and a group of 40 employees from the white sugar factory and soda ash factory in the industrial park to start to specialize in these equipment.

These employees have been working on sugar and soda ash production lines for some time and are familiar with the processes of industrial production.

At that time, they only need to be trained in special safety and operation, and it will not be long before they can set up basic shelves in coking plants and steel mills.

Before officially launching the attack, Xia Lin gathered these fifty people and prepared to mobilize them on the ribbon-cutting platform that had not yet been demolished, but only the carpet had been removed.

Xia Lin asked the four employees to bring two wooden boxes, one large and one small, and put them beside him, looked around at the fifty people in the audience, and asked:

"Good afternoon, everyone! I'm your boss Xia Lin, do you see these two boxes next to me? Curious about what's inside? ”

"Boss, what's in there? Could it be an ale for us? ”

Seeing Xia Lin's mysterious appearance, Master Edgar was the first to ask curiously, and the other employees were naturally full of curiosity, but they respected Xia Lin very much and didn't dare to ask questions casually like Master Edgar.

"Haha, since everyone is interested, let's take a look!"

Xia Lin smiled at the drunken dwarven masters, bent down and opened the lids of the two wooden boxes, and lifted the boxes with the hands of the mages to let everyone see the contents inside, and the wooden box on his right revealed a dazzling golden light, which was a whole box of gold lunt, and the box on his left was full of piles of papers sorted and rolled into cylinders.

"Kingront! A lot of Kinglent !! ”

"Oh my God, is the boss going to give us a bonus?!"

"What do you think, we just arrived in the industrial park, how can there be a bonus if we don't do anything?! If you want the wheel, the group of people who are also Master Faun will get it first! ”

"Plain, Lord of the Molten Fire, is above! Boss, what are those drawings? ”

Unlike those ordinary employees, Master Edgar, who dealt with the drawings drawn by Xia Lin every day, recognized at a glance that the box on the left contained the drawings.

A whole box of drawings, at least hundreds, which he hadn't seen since he arrived in the industrial park, Master Edgar couldn't help but shout with a shocked face.

"I'm sure you can see that on my right, there is a box containing a full 2,200 gold lundes, and on my left, there is a box containing a total of 674 drawings, these two boxes, which is why I summoned you here today."

"That's the steel industry plan of our Xinglan Industrial Park!

The rapid development of the industrial park during this period of time is believed to be seen by everyone, but the price of rapid development is that our factories consume a lot of raw materials every day.

If you are a little more careful, you can see that the wharf of our industrial park is getting more and more ships coming and going every day, and there are more and more workers carrying raw materials.

A few days ago, Master Edgar told me that there was no steel on the market anymore, do you know what that means?

This means that the development of our industrial park has come to a standstill! Steel, is the skeleton of the industry, look at the machinery and equipment around you, which do not use a lot of steel, if there is no steel, our industrial park can not continue to thrive, everyone's life will not be further improved!

My employees, do you think it's okay to go on like this?! ”

"Can't! No! ”

"We want steel!"

As a race that has lived with steel and furnaces all their lives, the dwarven masters in the audience all shouted.

"That's right, we want steel! That's why I have these two boxes by my side!

In this box, 2,200 gold lunt will be used for the establishment of the steel industry, and the remaining part will be divided equally among each of you employees who have contributed to this process as a bonus after the establishment of the steel industry!

At the same time, when the washing plant, the steel plant, and the coking plant are successfully established, you will be promoted to the management of these two new plants!

If you succeed in establishing a steel industry, but there is no money left in the end, then I will personally pay 50 gold lun so that each of you can get a huge prize of 1 gold lun!

And this box contains all the drawings needed to establish the steel industry, and in the next difficult days, we must settle down and work hard to overcome all kinds of difficulties and build the steel backbone of our industrial park!

Tell me, do you have faith?! ”

"Yes!"

"We must build a steel industry!"

Although the impression of the steel industry mentioned by Xia Lin was only at the level of a blacksmith shop, stimulated by the promotion of Jinlunt and status, all the employees except the dwarven master had red eyes and shouted vigorously.

"Excellent! Then next, we officially start the steel industry research! ”

Xia Lin waved his hand and looked at the slums not far away, as if he had seen towering reinforced concrete buildings rising up one after another.
