However, it is not the same if the air enters the blast furnace and the air is preheated first. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When the charcoal and iron ore were burning extremely fiercely, thousands of degrees of hot air came directly from here, which was equivalent to giving him viagra, the desire, the fire, directly like a volcanic eruption, rushed to the top of 10,000 meters in the air.

If you want to slow him down, it's impossible!

"Hiss........!" Wang Ming and Qiu Kai on the side gasped, and then the two of them looked at each other, and they also saw extreme shock and a hint of ecstasy in each other's eyes.

Wang Ming and Qiu Kai's vision is extremely clever, through what is happening in the Chu State now, they all understand in their hearts that now the Chu State has shown signs of decline, and Lin Ze's strength has been able to show his hands in the last days of this dynasty.

As Lin Ze's advisers, Wang Ming and Qiu Kai naturally wanted to plan for Lin Ze in the last days of this dynasty.

However, it is not so simple to win in the Dynasty Battle.

If you want to be the final winner, you must not only have countless salaries, but also a strong army and countless sophisticated weapons.

Food, although Lin Ze doesn't have much in his hands now (in fact, I have a lot of food, there are countless foodstuffs in the Plane Seed World, hehe, Lin Ze chuckled on the side......... However, now with more than 18,000 fire-armored cattle, plus Lin Ze's ability to find groundwater, and those farming tools that have just been invented and are extremely useful for farming, Wang Ming and Qiu Kai believe that in a few years, Huangsha Town will become no less than the granary of Qingzhou.

At that time, food and wages were not an issue.

As for the army, hehe, this Wang Ming and Qiu Kai are even less worried.

It only took Lin Ze two months to build an army that could defeat 16,000 blood-clothed thieves, hehe, in this case, in a few years, how many troops Lin Ze will have in his hands, it is conceivable.

Food, the army Wang Ming and Qiu Kai didn't care, the only thing they were worried about in their hearts was the problem of weapons.

Weapons are definitely the most important military materials of an army, the army only has sophisticated weapons, in order to be able to be invincible on the battlefield, if the army does not have sophisticated weapons, the combat effectiveness of this army, no matter how strong, is also the moon in the water, are illusory.

Now Lin Ze relies on Huangsha Town as the logistics supply base of the White Elephant Legion, and he can obtain weapons to equip his army, but this does not mean that Lin Ze will not have to worry about weapons in the future.

The White Elephant Legion now provides weapons to Lin Ze, or sells weapons to Lin Ze, just because the number of troops in Lin Ze's hands is small, and there is no danger.

Once the number of troops in Lin Ze's hands began to increase significantly, such as having forty or fifty thousand troops, at this time, don't think about the White Elephant Legion continuing to sell weapons to Lin Ze.

Even if Lin Ze would not have the idea of rebellion, the White Elephant Legion would not provide Lin Ze with weapons.

As the saying goes, one mountain does not tolerate two tigers, here in the sandbank, the White Elephant Legion is an absolute tyrant, and he definitely doesn't want another powerful tiger to appear here on the sandbank, so once the number of troops in Lin Ze's hands exceeds a certain limit, at that time, the White Elephant Legion will 100% begin to contain Lin Ze.

Therefore, the issue of weapons has always been a problem in the hearts of Wang Ming and Qiu Kai.

In order to establish an ironmaking plant belonging to Lin Ze as soon as possible, Wang Ming and Qiu Kai directly transferred more than 3,000 people from Gao's already very short supply of manpower to participate in the construction of the ironworks, all in order to solve the problem of weapons.

(Lin Ze carried out many projects, reclaiming fields, planting sand walls, building the Half Moon Valley Reservoir, and building some military forts....... , etc., these things require a lot of manpower, especially the construction of the Half Moon Valley Reservoir and the planting of sand control walls.

Therefore, it is indeed not easy to transfer 3,000 people!)

Before, Wang Ming and Qiu Kai thought in their hearts that it would take a few years to really stop worrying about weapons, but they couldn't imagine that the ability of the ironmaking plant they had established now was so strong.

Originally, it would take a day to refine a furnace of molten iron, but now it only takes six or seven hours, and Wang Ming and Qiu Kai instantly had an urge to drop pie from the sky in their hearts.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, such efficiency means that a lot of money can be harvested, but in the eyes of Wang Ming and Qiu Kai, this indicates a deeper heritage during the war years.

In wartime, other forces can only refine one furnace of molten iron a day, but they can refine three or four furnaces of molten iron, which is directly three or four times that of other forces.

Such a gap is definitely the gap between heaven and earth, it is really going to be right, and it is definitely Lin Ze's side that wins.

It's like in World War II, when the little devil just started, he directly beat the little devil out of the, but as time went by, in the end, it was the rice country that beat the little devil out of the.

It's not that the combat effectiveness of the little devil is not strong, but when it comes to the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of the United States is definitely not the opponent of the little devils.

I didn't see that at the beginning, the little devil captured hundreds of thousands of rice soldiers at a very small price, so in terms of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the little devil is still very strong.

However, in the end, the little devil still fell under the hands of the soldiers of the United States.

The reason is very simple, the national strength of the little devil is too weak compared to the United States.

Not to mention anything else, just in terms of steel, during World War II, the steel output of the little devils was only between 6 million tons and 7 million tons, and in the United States, it was between 60 million and 70 million tons.

The difference between the two is tenfold, so it is a matter of course that the little devil will be defeated.

As strategists, Wang Ming and Qiu Kai knew this very well in their hearts, so after they learned about this, their eyes would be so surprised.

With such a powerful ironworks, Lin Ze's army in the future will no longer have to worry about weapons.

Thinking of this, Wang Ming and Qiu Kai looked at each other again, and both saw infinite light in each other's eyes!

"Hehe, these two guys!" Lin Ze smiled in his heart, he had already discovered the eye contact between Wang Ming and Qiu Kai.

"Wang Ming, Qiu Kai, let's go and see the situation of iron smelting!" Lin Ze said to Wang Ming and Qiu Kai beside him, and then took the lead towards the blast furnace.

Wang Ming and Qiu Kai looked at each other and smiled, and then followed Lin Ze towards the blast furnace.........

................................

Soon, Lin Ze and his party came to the side of the high road.

I saw that Shen Lian was checking the situation inside the blast furnace from the observation port on the side of the blast furnace, Lin Ze and the others did not disturb him, and watched quietly on the side.

Through the observation port on the side of the blast furnace, Shen Lian could clearly see that the molten iron was now all gathered at the bottom of the furnace and showed a charming orange-red color.

Seeing this situation, Shen Lian understood in his heart that he should be able to open the furnace and produce iron!

Shen Lian nodded directly at Gao Yan below, Gao Yan also nodded, and then directly put on a thick cotton coat as protection, holding a long-handled iron tongs, and carefully opened the flap door of the lower tap of the blast furnace.

"Click......!"

The molten iron is mixed with slag, and because the iron is heavy and the slag is light, most of the slag floats on the surface of the molten iron, which is very conspicuous.

Soon, however, the large pieces of slag were blocked by a baffle made of pig iron on the trench.

Seeing this, the workers who had been waiting for a long time held long iron rods in their hands and pulled the slag aside.

At this time, the trenches used for casting have already been opened, and molds have already been placed on the ground.

At this time, the molten iron that removes the large pieces of slag flows from the trench into the mold, and then, one after another, the mold is filled with molten iron, and finally, it is cast into a pig iron block about 21 centimeters wide, about 10 centimeters high, and about 30 centimeters long.

Because the specific gravity of iron is 7.8, the weight of each pig iron ingot is about 500 catties.

Of course, about 500 catties is a bit heavy on the earth, but the physical fitness of ordinary people on the Shenzhou Continent is four or five times that of ordinary people on the earth, so the weight of 500 catties is not a problem.

In just a short time, more than 200 pig iron ingots have been cast.

At this time, Gao Yan, Shen Lian, and Wang Ming and Qiu Kai on the side were already completely dumbfounded.

Because, as far as they know, the entire Chu State, even in the most powerful Kyoto craftsman camp, produced the most iron in one furnace, that is, 10,000 catties, and this time it was specially refined to congratulate the emperor on his 60th birthday, and in this way, it also took a lot of energy and financial resources.

Under normal circumstances, when the craftsmen in Kyoto make iron, one furnace is three or four thousand catties.

However, now, there are more than 20,000 catties in this underground!

Moreover, this is still very simple to refine more than 20,000 catties, according to the setting here, it can be said that each furnace is at least this number, and when everyone begins to become proficient, this number can continue to increase.

Thinking of this, Gao Yan, Shen Lian, Wang Ming, Qiu Kai and his party were really numb by the shock in their hearts.

Gao Yan directly pinched his thigh, and the severe pain told him that this was not a dream, so Gao Yan asked in a trembling voice: "My lord, am I not mistaken? More than 20,000 catties of pig iron, if you want to smelt so much iron, even if it is the largest furnace in the world, you have to refine it for three days and three nights, but it is only half a day here, this ........ , this ......"
