The wind fuels the fire, and the furnace temperature gets higher and higher. Soon, Li Dayan, Brother Hao, Silly Big Man and others couldn't stand by the fireside, and couldn't help but retreat, only Guo Dalu and Chen Qingdai, the two "non-humans", were still standing at the mouth of the furnace, staring at the movement in the furnace, and from time to time using a long steel drill to poke the slag inside.

This fire burned for seven days, and seven days later, with Guo Dalu shouting: "Molten steel!"

The outlet was opened, and the molten steel, which was so red that it could brighten the blind, rushed out, along the mud ditch that had been dug a long time ago, and poured into the already prepared casting cavity, Li Dayan trembled his lips: "This is refined? This is done?! Two thousand catties! A whole two thousand catties of steel!" Although Guo Dalu introduced new units of measurement in Yixue, such as kilograms, tons, etc., Li Dayan is still accustomed to using catties and taels.

Guo Dalu is also excited, looking at the slowly solidifying molten steel, full of a heavy sense of achievement, even in the 21st century, a medical student (obviously a male nurse is good at cutting) can make a furnace of steel, it is also a great thing, maybe you can also be on CCTV's I love invention column, tell inspirational stories or something.

Guo Dalu patted Li Dayan, who had tears in his eyes: "Uncle Li, what is a ton of stainless steel? Because the furnace is used for the first time, I have deliberately reduced the amount of material I have put in, and when the furnace runs smoothly in the future, we will produce a ton of molten steel a day! Uncle Li, don't be in a daze, come, prepare to load, after the blast furnace is ignited, it cannot be stopped, and the fire will be extinguished and then ignited after stopping, which will cause great damage to the furnace." ”

Li Dayan nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Brother Hao once said to me, you talked about it in class in Yixue, what is cold and hot, hot expansion and contraction, and what is the difference in expansion coefficient, this blast furnace can't go out, I have already prepared the materials - come on, clean the furnace, load!"

Everyone was suddenly busy, but before that, Da Hei had already pulled a hill-like ore from Fengshen Mountain, which was piled up by the blast furnace and could be used at any time, but in the future, as the blast furnace started day and night, the ore could no longer rely on the cart to pull, and the transportation volume was too low, so how to say, it had to use a track.

Guo Dalu had actually planned this matter a long time ago, building a railway between Houlong Village and Fengshenshan Mine!

What he wants to build is not a high-speed railway with a speed of 3 or 500 kilometers per hour, or even a narrow-gauge railway, to be exact, just a steel track.

Open the road by the demon bull big black, use its stupid strength, first hit the stone and pull out the tree in the Fengshen Mountain, open a road, and then use coal ballast, debris to pave the road, put sleepers on it, and then use thumb-thick steel bars to pave a track, and the horse-drawn cart on the track, such an iron rail can transport much more goods than ordinary carts.

The terrain of the mine to Houlong Village is relatively flat, as long as the miscellaneous trees and shrubs along the road are removed, the construction is not difficult, as for the steel bar paving, it was a very unsuccessful thing in the past, but in the future, Houlong Village can produce a ton of molten steel per day, and get some commonly known strip steel, which is effortless.

Half a decade later, in the market that was opened in Yinxian County, a shop specializing in snow sugar and toilet paper in Houlong Village suddenly had a batch of new goods -- farm tools, hoes, shovels, nail palladium, ploughshares, sickles and other farm tools made of fine steel.

At this time, Guo Dalu's shameless plagiarism of "Journey to the West" of "The Legend of the Monkey King" has become famous all over the world, and I don't know how many gentlemen in the teahouse book building talk about "The Legend of the Great Sage", so many people see the banner and have a lot of discussions: "The Nail Palladium Society?" Isn't there a yellow lion spirit in this "The Legend of the Great Sage", who stole the divine soldiers of the Monkey King brothers, and opened a palladium nail banquet? Could it be said that the farm tools here actually dare to compare themselves to be artifacts?"

Everyone squinted at the batch of farm tools, but said that the farm tools were shining brightly under the sunlight, dazzling people's eyes, and the general iron farm tools were dark and full of rust spots, and people exclaimed: "Grandpa God, what is this hoe made of palladium? How is it shiny, could it be made of silver?"

There was a bold stunned young man, seeing that the people in the shop were not paying attention, jumped on the high platform, and touched the hoe with his hand: "I'll see, what kind of material is this--" Before the words fell, sigh, a big hole was cut on his hand, and it was actually cut by an extremely sharp hoe blade!

There was another uproar under the platform: "What a good hoe! Is this still used for working in the fields? It's just a first-class blade, and it's not as sharp as these guys, right?"

The stunned young man was itchy for a while, grabbed the hoe, played with it in his hand for a while, and couldn't help shouting again and again: "Good trick, good trick, not light or heavy, it's really a good family!"

More importantly, in terms of the length of the grip, the angle of the blade, etc., are in line with ergonomics, so that the user must save every effort, and these details full of scientific and technological content, the previous craftsmen of the Great Li Dynasty did not care at all - the hoe is just a stupid thing working in the field, where does it need to be carefully made?

The stunned young man played all the farm tools one by one, but made the high platform like a stage, and everyone in the audience applauded in unison, and there were more and more onlookers, and there were people who knew the goods, and exclaimed: "This, the steel used for this farm tool is not Uzi steel?"

When they heard that even the Yulin Army of the Emperor Lao'er could not afford to use the weapons made of Uzi Steel, they immediately burst into laughter: "This old man is joking, how can it be that the things that pick up and shovel fertilizer in this crop field are made of Wuzi Steel?

Inside the store, the stupid man listened to the shouting outside, and couldn't sit still, and said to Guo Dalu, who was sitting and drinking tea: "Brother Guo, those guys outside are laughing at the farm tools we made, I'll teach them a lesson!"

Guo Dalu grabbed the stupid big man: "Let them make trouble, the more they make trouble, the more famous the farm tools produced in our Houlong Village will be." It turned out that this nail palladium meeting was another idea that Guo Dalu tossed, and he wanted to let the famous steel farm tools in Houlong Village spread all over the world in the shortest possible time.

Brother Hao was puzzled beside him, in his opinion, the steel smelted by the blast furnace was really too wasteful to be used to make farm tools! Such a good steel should be used to shine swords, guns, swords and spears! A sword made by Guo Dalu's steel filling technique that day had been snatched by Brother Hao'er at home, but after the steel in the blast furnace came out, he knew that the crude steel smelted by the steel filling technique was not a little different from the steel of the blast furnace!

The blast furnace steel is used to make weapons, and absolutely every piece of it is a divine weapon comparable to the cadre general Mo Xie! Whether it is a general in the army or a martial arts person, they are willing to pay a high price to buy a special steel weapon made in Houlong Village.

But Brother Guo is all used to play farm tools!

If it weren't for the respect for Guo Dalu, Brother Hao would have jumped to his feet and scolded this kind of loser's behavior.

Now when he heard Guo Dalu say that he wanted to make Houlong Village's farm tools famous all over the world, he couldn't help but mutter: "What's the use of being famous? Listen to what people outside say, no matter how good our farm tools are, they are also things that pick up and shovel fertilizer!"

Guo Dalu said with a smile: "Picking up and shoveling fertilizer is a good place for us to refine the steel, if it is made into a so-called magic weapon, it is only used to fight and kill, or it is bought by the noble son to play, pretending to take it on his body, and please the Qinglou sisters." But if the steel farming implements arrive at the farmer's house, then new fields can be cultivated. You have also heard that because of the implementation of the drip irrigation law, many peasants have lost their land, although the imperial court and practitioners have opened a ban on mountain fishing and allowed peasants to open up wasteland, but what is allocated to farmers to open up wasteland is poor mountains and bad waters, and in a hurry, where can farmers who do not have good tools open up their fields? ”

Brother Hao'er was full of shame, bowed his head and said: "Brother Guo, I was wrong, you are right, there are thousands of landless farmers in this world, although the blast furnace in our village produces one ton of steel per day, it is not enough." Guo Dalu, I'll go back to the village, find Li Dayan, let's build a few more blast furnaces!"

Guo Dalu grabbed Brother Hao'er: "Look at you, it's boring again, isn't it? Before the railway to the ore vein of Fengshen Mountain was built, because the raw materials could not be received, we could only temporarily maintain the production of a blast furnace." In fact, I don't have the spare energy to sell stainless steel farm tools all over the world, and temporarily supply them to farmers in Yinxian County and the surrounding areas, and slowly promote them. ”

Guo Dalu comforted Brother Hao'er and said to the stupid big one: "Stupid big man, take out the wire we predicted, and show the villagers a performance of sharpening iron like mud, let everyone see, what Uzi steel, in front of our Houlong steel, is ballast!"

Needless to say, this hoe broke the wire and Guo Dalu came up with a trick, when he was a child, he saw someone set up a stall outside the orphanage, selling good kitchen knives, one of the unique skills is to chop the wire with a kitchen knife, in the face of a cut off wire, although the grandmothers will always flock to buy kitchen knives. This work was taught by Guo Dalu to the stupid big man, and he asked him to play treasure on the spot.

Just as the stupid big man was about to go out from the backyard of the store, there was a rough shouting from the front: "What are you doing? What are you doing here?"

Hearing this familiar teasing voice, Guo Dalu squirted out a mouthful of water -- it was Tang He! Tang He and Guo Dalu of the county yamen were also "old friends," but his penchant for "slandering people and plotting rebellion" had not changed. (To be continued.) )
