Chapter Ninety-Three: Exclamation
It was a very busy night for the Zhang family.
Some changes have been made to the smelting base. The research area where Huang Mingshan and others are located, and the machine tool processing and production area where Bai Xiaodong and others are located, are wrapped in opaque barriers.
In the dark iron smelting area, all the fans that blow air directly into the molten iron have also been removed. This is the secret of the Zhang family, and it cannot be exposed.
What Zhang Hao wants to disclose this time is very clear - industrial production, large-scale production, and standardized production!
What needs to be made public is a completely new mode of production. This in itself is a technology, a technology of production.
Without the step of blowing air into the molten iron, the purity of the molten iron immediately decreases from more than 95% to more than 60%.
Molten iron is no longer poured directly into iron ingots, but into iron bars the thickness of an arm.
Iron bars need to be forged. But it's not the workers who forge it, it's the machines.
Some small steam turbines drive eccentric wheels, and the eccentric wheels drive hammers through connecting rods to achieve mechanized forging.
The mechanical forging speed is very fast, and it can reach an ultra-high forging speed of 10 times per second, and it is tireless.
Moreover, mechanical forging is more powerful, and it can forge ten kilograms at a time, far exceeding one kilogram of craftsmen.
The craftsmen only need to heat the bars, control the clutch, adjust the hammer handle, and sprinkle the water.
The forged bars are remelted and poured into standard iron ingots.
Bai Xiaodong and others rushed to work overnight, and by dawn, 20 sets of forging machinery had been made, plus the original, a total of more than 30 sets.
The number is not very large, but it is enough to do a show.
According to Zhang Jiaxin's timing unit, the first batch of people arrived at about seven o'clock. There are ten members each from the Xuantie Guild and the Refining Guild, all of whom are high-level leaders on both sides. Zhou Bo is at the forefront.
Far away, everyone saw the billowing smoke and white fog rising from the top of the Zhangjia smelting base, drifting towards the sea, which was spectacular.
Zhang Shengde personally came forward to greet him and led everyone to the smelting base.
Suddenly, Zhou Bo turned his head, and there was a pavilion at the entrance of the smelting base, and there was a man in the pavilion who was ...... Shabu-shabu!
Feng Zhiling was very domineering, directly in the pavilion at the entrance of the smelting base, setting up a wine banquet and drinking alone.
The rich and mellow smell wafts far away, making people salivate.
There is a hot pot on the table, and the fire is made with high-grade spirit stones below, the golden flame is rolling, and the hot pot is made of 99.2% pure black iron.
As for the 'seasonings' in hot pot, most of them are high-quality medicinal materials. A dragon ball tumbled in the soup, making the smoke above the pot as unpredictable as a mirage, or turning into mountains, or waves, or some vague light and shadow.
On the table, there is a dragon head that has been washed and peeled clean, and there are dragon liver, dragon hearts, dragon tendons, etc. on the plate next to it.
Feng Zhiling took a sip of wine, and then shook a few pieces of dragon meat, and several guards around him kept swallowing saliva.
Zhou Bo couldn't help but get closer, and everyone was also attracted by Feng Zhiling.
Zhang Hao is a black line: Hey, hey, everyone, you're here today to visit the new production method, not to see some foodie ruining treasures.
Feng Zhiling looked up at everyone and waved his hand very casually: "Go and go, if anyone dares to rob, be careful that I beat you so that you can't take care of yourself!"
Ji Wei looked at this guy, and the corners of his mouth twitched - when they first met, they felt that this guy was not very reliable, and sure enough. This is not only unreliable, it is simply ridiculous!
But thinking that he was a disciple of the Xuanzhen Sect, Ji Wei didn't say anything.
Zhang Hao waited for a while before bringing everyone to the inside of the smelting base.
"Wow......" exclaimed.
At a glance, everyone was stunned, what they saw was a completely unfamiliar, unconventional, and steel-filled smelting base.
First of all, there is the roaring machine, and then everything is extraordinarily large.
The smelting furnace is more than ten times larger than the ordinary one, and the grinding disc used to crush ore and spirit stones is almost a square square circle. It is not craftsmen, cows, horses, monsters, etc., that drives the grinding disc, but a strange machine.
Conveyor belts extend from the mine to the top of the grinding disc, bringing flowing ore, and a conveyor belt extends below the grinding disc into the water selection area.
The moist ore concentrate from the water selection area passes through the ground fire, dries it directly, and sends it into the smelting furnace.
There is also the forging machine, seeing the forging speed of the machine ten times a second, listening to the series of knocking sounds, everyone opened their mouths in surprise, and they were speechless.
Before everyone came, they thought that the Zhang family would have some extraordinary performances, but they didn't expect that the performance would be so extraordinary!
And obviously, the Zhang family also has some means hidden.
Looking at the two opaque enchantments in the distance, everyone wanted to rush in and take a look to see what the Zhang family was hiding.
What is only revealed is already so shocking, but what will be hidden?
It's a pity that Zhang Shengde led the way in front, and everyone could only follow Zhang Shengde's footsteps. If you dare to act privately, there is absolutely no life or death!
The flying sword in Zhang Shengde's hand kept circling, reminding everyone from time to time that this was not a place for chaos.
Finally, Zhang Shengde led everyone to the place of the steam turbine and proudly introduced it.
"It's our newfound power, the power of steam.
Harnessing the power of steam, it is possible to drive the machine. Compared with the spirit stone, the application cost of steam power is almost negligible. Only the cost of the casting machine itself is higher. ”
"Look at this curved, piped pipe erected above the earthfire, where water flows down from a high place and heats up into high-temperature and high-pressure water vapor in the pipe.
The water vapor in these tubes is much higher than 100 degrees. Roughly measured, it is about 160 degrees.
This steam rushes into the steam turbine and drives the steam turbine to rotate.
The steam turbine drives the machine to rotate.
We call this 'mechanized work', which is different from traditional manual work.
The current Zhangjia has initially realized mechanized operations.
Compared to manual work, mechanized work can be carried out around the clock and at a high level of efficiency at all times.
Once, 100 craftsmen could only produce about 400 kilograms of black iron after a hard day, and the purity could not be guaranteed.
Now, 100 craftsmen can easily produce 80 tons of black iron in a day, with a purity of more than 90%. ”
"All this has changed because we have a new momentum. Steam turbine!
The power of this steam turbine is about equivalent to the ultimate power in the middle of Jindan. ”
Everyone followed Zhang Shengde's finger and saw that the steam turbine was gourd-shaped as a whole, but there were three chambers: large, medium and small. The appearance is rough, and the bolts the thickness of an arm fix the upper and lower shells, and then stand firmly on the solid rock through the thick iron frame and the heavy iron seat.
There is an iron fence around the perimeter, which reads: High temperature danger.
After Zhou Bo and the others got permission, they entered the fence range and gently touched the steam turbine shell. The hot shell didn't hurt the Jindan stage cultivators, but it made them amazed.
This kind of machine can actually convert the high temperature of the earth fire into mechanical power, and this kind of machine that can move without aura breaks their understanding.
"Not only is Reiki energy, but high temperature is also energy. Zhang Shengde explained that he himself has a deep feeling.
Every time he stood next to the steam turbine and felt the power of the steam turbine, Zhang Shengde sighed with emotion. Without using aura, just boiling water can produce such majestic power.
Now the power of the steam turbine is comparable to that of the middle of the Jindan period. What if it continues to develop?
