Chung Hwa Heavy Factory.

Zhu Gaochi lay on the desk, using a fine brush to organize his thoughts, in order not to be discovered secretly, using pinyin letters.

The Industrial Revolution carries the word revolution, which makes it easy to mistake it for an ideological revolution, but the definition of the Industrial Revolution is very simple.

A technological revolution.

What was the technological core of the first industrial revolution?

The Newcomen steam engine, the coke iron-making furnace, and the shuttle were three technologies that laid the foundation for the first industrial revolution.

The Newcomen steam engine is very simple, there is no technical content, there are no excessive requirements for materials, and it has nothing to do with rubber.

When the Newcomen steam engine was introduced, rubber had not yet been discovered in the West, and it would take more than a hundred years to come.

Its function is mainly used to pump water, and it is mostly used in mining farms.

The iron-making furnace in the three core technologies of the industrial revolution, several technologies contained in this invention, China has been far behind the West since ancient times.

In addition to a large number of records of modern Western books, the Nelson Museum of Art in the United States also has a collection of pottery fan car workshops in the Han Dynasty in China.

Because of changes in the political environment, modern American scholars have ulterior motives to simulate the operation of the situation, hoping to negate the achievements of ancient Chinese history.

But the result of the calculations is that this thing can work, and there is no problem, but it strengthens the evidence that China's bellows technology is a thousand years ahead of the West.

One of the greatest technological achievements of the 18th century in the West, refining coal into coke, this technology is believed by many to come from the Ming Dynasty, and it is made in heaven!

The early seventeenth century was the most frequent half-century of exchanges between the East and the West, and not only did a lot of Western knowledge flow into China, but also a large number of Ming books were brought back to the West by missionaries.

China's use of coke to smelt iron in the Song Dynasty has begun, limited by the market and technology, and has not been adopted on a large scale.

In the Ming Dynasty, with the prosperity of civil iron, coke iron smelting has become more and more widely used.

In other words, one of the greatest technological achievements of the eighteenth century, one of the core of the greatest technological achievements in China, was fully popularized in China in the fifteenth century.

To say that none of the large number of missionaries of the Ming Dynasty in the early seventeenth century discovered this important technology is an outright lie.

Pity.

In the eighteenth century, while the iron-smelting industry was shining in the West, in the so-called prosperous era of China in the eighteenth century, the iron-smelting industry was quietly falling into a trough.

"So now it's the tail of the fourteenth century, and even if it's not applied on a large scale, there should be coking technology."

"The Newcomen steam engine promoted the production of coal mines, making coal mines cheaper, but at this time it was only for civilian use."

"The coke iron-making furnace has turned coal mines into coke and become a new industrial fuel, marking that coal has become the blood of industry!"

"Since then, the curtain of the coal era has been opened!"

"The beginning of the first industrial revolution!"

"The Industrial Revolution increased productivity, made people's materials prosperous, and made life richer, which promoted the birth of various ideas."

"People began to sum up history, began to measure the Industrial Revolution, and promoted the progress of science." After making a heavy note, Zhu Gaochi closed the notebook.

"Please come to Zhou Shifeng."

In the compartment outside the door, there are two disabled people, one large and one small, who are the military households recruited into the factory, because the two can write and talk in an orderly manner, and they are transferred by Zhu Gaochi to use them.

The middle-aged one was missing half a leg, and a wooden support was placed at the knee, which did not hinder walking; The young one couldn't see in his left eye.

The young man heard the voice inside and hurriedly got up to call someone.

Soon.

Zhou Shifeng, the shopkeeper of the inner cabinet, followed nervously and knocked on the door, and soon the word please come from inside.

"Little Lord."

"You may be seated."

The little prince said that if you think it is your own person, don't be too polite in front of him, the more polite you are, the more you don't regard yourself as his person.

Zhou Shifeng didn't dare to refuse, and sat on the chair with half an ass.

Zhu Gaochi packed up the papers, sorted out his thoughts, and after a brief greeting between the two, he fell into a quiet atmosphere.

Zhou Shifeng lowered his head, and his afterglow followed the movements in the nobleman's hands.

If you don't know the identity of the nobleman, what is the difference between the behavior of the nobleman and the clerks of that great business?

The little nobleman can maintain this style of work and strive for perfection, which is really impressive.

Could it be the family style of Yanwangfu?

But the younger brothers of the little nobleman are not like the little nobles.

"Shopkeeper Zhou."

"Yes." Zhou Shifeng, who was distracted, was startled and showed an embarrassed smile.

Zhu Gaochi was unmoved, as if he did not notice Zhou Shifeng's careful thoughts, but with a sincere face.

"I heard that Zhang Dongjia has won two more mines?"

"Yes."

Zhou Shifeng chuckled in his heart, could it be that the little nobleman was dissatisfied with Zhang Dongjia? I was recruited by Zhang Dongjia, will I be implicated?

I was worried about myself, and I couldn't help but worry about Zhang Dongjia.

"Looks like his energy isn't here." Zhu Gaochi sighed, and suddenly asked again: "What do you think?" ”

"I ..... I do not know. Zhou Shifeng's face was decadent.

This guy is good.

Zhu Gaochi was happy in his heart.

If he really said bad things about Zhang Dehui, he wouldn't dare to use him.

"You are also involved in the construction of a new coke refinery, and we hope that you can take on more things."

Hearing the nobleman's words, Zhou Shifeng was incredulous and forgot to answer.

He was shrewd, and immediately understood the meaning of the nobleman's words. Not only was he fine, but he was promoted.

"I heard that there are coking kilns in Beiping, but which one of them has the best craftsmanship, there is no conclusive conclusion, we hope you will find out, hire a few of the best craftsmen, join the coke refinery, and formulate the regulations for the coke refinery."

"As for the treatment, it's all good." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

"Xiaomin will do it immediately." Zhou Shifeng replied.

"There you go."

……

"Boss, why do you smile for a while, and frown for a while." After returning home, Zhou Shifeng's mother-in-law couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Shifeng shook his head and glanced at the two children who were eating with their heads buried in their heads.

He was also an apprentice, and he became a shopkeeper on the counter, but when he was an apprentice, he was poor and couldn't afford to marry a daughter-in-law.

got married late, and the two boys in the family were still young.

"I'm afraid Zhang Dongjia won't be able to stay in the factory anymore."

Why is that? You're going to be fine, right? The woman was shocked, she knew that her man was recruited by Zhang Dong's family to China Heavy Industry, and Zhang Dong's family couldn't stay, so her man would not be implicated.

"Not only was I fine, but I was promoted."

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "It's a good thing that you have been promoted, how much has your salary risen?" Sigh what a child. ”

"I have long hair and short knowledge, I was promoted by Zhang Dongjia and I have today, how can I not worry about Zhang Dongjia, isn't it a villain who is not as good as a beast."

"I hope that the noble man will not harm the Zhang Dong family." Zhou Shifeng said worriedly.

"You have only seen a short time, the little noble man has always been kind to people, how can you harm others, you are too worried about yourself."

The woman gave birth to two big fat boys for the Zhou family, so that Zhou Shifeng would not lose the incense in his later years, and he was very confident.
