On the riverside in early spring, a group of people looked nervously at the tall conveyor belt, and when a team member connected the water wheel, the power drum of the conveyor belt did start to rotate, relying on the friction brought by the leather on it to drive the conveyor belt to start running clockwise.

"Is this a success?"

Master Edgar asked with a sigh of relief as he looked at the successfully running conveyor belt, there were so many things in Xia Lin's steel industry plan that Master Faun had never even seen anything similar to the principle.

If it weren't for Xia Lin's many regular production meetings, I'm afraid no one would have been able to understand the principle of these things.

However, since these things are so important, even Xia Lin does not hesitate to invest a huge amount of money, they craftsmen naturally look forward to success.

"I haven't tested the cargo capacity yet!"

Xia Lin shook his head and asked the four team members to load the prepared coal onto the conveyor belt in batches, the first spade of coal went up, and the conveyor belt ran very smoothly, but after the second spade and the third spade went up, Xia Lin found that the conveyor belt had some slight deformation.

That's not good news!

Xia Lin silently watched this detail.

Soon, the rated 450 kg of coal was loaded onto the conveyor belt, and the running speed of the conveyor belt slowed down significantly, not reaching the speed of 0.5s designed by Xia Lin at all, and even moving it was extremely laborious, and there was a disconnection between the conveyor belt and the power drum.

"Get some coal off it and take a look!"

Xia Lin was a little disappointed, it seems that this conveyor belt does not meet his design requirements, but if it can reach 70%, it is enough to maintain the continuous production of the blast furnace, then he can still accept it.

The team members shoveled some coal as promised, but the working condition of the conveyor belt did not improve much.

"It seems that the friction between the belt and the roller is still a little worse, and the power that the waterwheel can provide is really not enough."

Sighing, Xia Lin asked the workers to clean all the loading on the conveyor belt, and then slowly tried to see what the maximum load capacity it could operate normally was, and the result was 11kg/, which was only half of Xia Lin's design.

This kind of performance can not meet the continuous production needs of the blast furnace at all, and we can only find another way to solve the problem of blast furnace charging.

The group returned to the machine tool factory that was temporarily used as the base of the research team, which is basically the technology research and development center of the industrial park, and the dwarf masters usually live in the machine tool factory, because the equipment in the machine tool factory uses pure gold, the price is expensive, and the steel machine tool also needs to be kept secret.

Usually, the guards will not let anyone in except Xia Lin and a few factory directors in the industrial park, as well as the employees who are responsible for moving materials and products.

Even at this time, the ordinary team members were resting in the grass shed built outside the machine tool factory and waiting for the next instructions.

And the dwarven masters who live here have gradually made the space inside more full of life.

In addition to beds, desks, and cabinets for personal belongings, they also erected two pillars on the left side of the back door of the machine tool factory and pulled a clothesline to dry their clothes.

Xia Lin sat on the low dwarf chair and pondered the solution to the feeding problem, and inadvertently glanced at the clothesline and the clothes on it, and suddenly had some inspiration.

….

He quickly moved his gaze back to the clothesline, staring closely at the clothes and ropes that were fluttering in the wind, and the more he looked, the more he realized that it seemed to be a thing, and that was the ropeway!

"Why did you forget this thing?"

At the thought of the cableway, Xia Lin suddenly slapped his thigh and stood up with a pat of chagrin and joy, and said to the dwarven masters:

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @

Feeding.

Even in the previous life, there were many steel factories that used blast furnace winch feeding systems, but the systems were all electronic, and he always thought about conveyor belts, but he forgot that there was such a simple and convenient method.

Although the feeding ropeway is not uniform enough, it will affect the composition of some molten iron, but in Xia Lin's opinion, it is completely sufficient.

Hoist, steel cable, wooden hopper, Xia Lin quickly drew a simple blast furnace winch feeding system, and then he immediately led the team to the river and began the assembly of the feeding ropeway.

The feeding height is 10, and the inclination angle of the two figure-of-eight ropeways is 30 degrees, and there is no friction loss between the conveyor belt and the drum, and the working efficiency of the winch is excellent.

The hopper can be easily lifted to a predetermined position at a speed of about 2 seconds, and then the hopper is tilted by a touch mechanism on a wire rope.

The hopper that has completed the feeding is rotated down by the winch, and the hopper that has been filled with material on another ropeway goes up.

In this way, it can be loaded with about two and a half tons in one minute, which can fully meet the continuous production requirements of the blast furnace.

Finally solving another obstacle to the road to modern steel, Xia Lin looked at the two ropeways with a sense of accomplishment in his heart, and the surrounding team members also celebrated happily.

The dwarves are especially fond of this type of hoist ropeway, and their clans usually live in the mountains for prospecting.

The terrain is steep, and the dwarves have to carry ropes when they go out, and when they encounter some valleys, they can reach the other side of the mountain by setting ropes.

It's just that this method is extremely rough, and if you are unlucky, you may have to be stuck in the middle and wait for your companions to come to the rescue, which is not bad, but if you are unlucky, you may break because the rope is not strong enough, and you will fall to the bottom of the cliff and be crushed.

With this kind of winch and wire rope, they dwarves can erect all kinds of long-term ropeways in their own range of activities, and they no longer have to worry about bad luck leading their people down the cliffs.

It's a pity that they have lost contact with their clan for a long time now, so even with a winch and a wire rope, there is no use.

Unexpectedly, his winch and wire rope also aroused the homesickness of the dwarven masters, and Xia Lin led the research team to continue to overcome the difficulties in the steel plan one by one.

The shower facilities at the concentrator were not a problem, as the pumps that were designed and manufactured in preparation for the construction of the employee community were able to increase the water pressure to a certain level, and then the coal underneath was washed through the sprinkler heads, which was quite effective.

The coal pounding device in the coal tower of the coking plant is also very easy to solve, and the remaining coal loading car, coke pushing car, coke blocking car and coke quenching car shell are easy to solve, but there is no mature power system that can be installed on it at present, and can only be pushed by manpower for the time being, and an operator who controls the direction and steps on the brake is set in front.

Step by step, the equipment on these drawings was materialized, and the members of the research team carefully settled down like mountaineers, and after confirming the safety of the foothold, they moved on to the next fulcrum.

In the end, there were only two difficulties left in front of the research team, that is, the construction of the coke oven and the blast furnace body in the storage chamber.

These two facilities are expensive and immovable, and must be built together with the factory facilities at the end, and Xia Lin announced that this stage of the project has been successfully completed, and each Dwarven Master and employee who participated in the research will receive a gold lunt bonus for the first stage.

My Magical Industries.
