The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 987

"Sir, this is?"

Dai Zhou asked puzzled.

"It's coal!"

"Coal? I haven't seen coal like this!"

Dai Zhou followed the coal path in Li Yin's hand.

This form is simply wrong!And there are holes, which are artificially created.

Li Min smiled.

"This is called briquette, and it is a product made by mixing coal with moisture, and then punching it out with a mold."

"This...is so amazing! But what's different about this thing?"

Dai Zhou said with some surprise on his mouth.

Honeycomb coal has many small holes and looks like a honeycomb, so it is named honeycomb coal.It is easy to store and take, has a long burning time, saves costs and other advantages, which greatly improves the living conditions of the people.

And Li Yin used it because of the cost and its many advantages.

The other party looked at it for a long time, and then said:

"I saw that the honeycomb coal seems to be just in a different form. You said that it is used very sparingly. Where is it reflected?"

He doesn't understand, it's just that the shape is different, how can it be used sparingly?

"Look carefully, what's the difference in the briquette material?"

"I can't see it. It's all black."

"It's lighter in color than coal, isn't it?"

"This, it seems like this, wait, there is some red soil here? Is this briquette mixed with soil?"

he exclaimed in shock.

Li Min said:

"Dai Zhou, you are very smart. You are right. These briquettes are made by adding soil and pressing them."

"why?"

Why add soil?Is it the same as punching a swollen face to pretend to be fat?This is his first reaction.

"First, the addition of clay makes it easier to shape, and the shape is stable and not broken.

Second, adding clay can prolong the burning time.Make full use of coal.The longer the burning time, the less the consumption.And this boiler does not need too much heat at one time, so the utilization efficiency is improved. "

According to Li Yin's knowledge, the amount of soil mixed with each ton of coal is between 300 and 500 kilograms.

It can be said that it accounts for half of the quality of coal at most.

"What Mr. Jing said is very reasonable. I didn't expect that there is such a mystery in it. I didn't expect that this coal can be used in this way."

Li Yin smiled again.

"It's more than that, look at these boilers. They are all uniformly heated, without excessive heat dissipation. We maximize the combustion efficiency to achieve the purpose of central heating. Naturally, the coal used is less or less. It is to burn this piece intensively, which can be about 1/3 less than usual.

Plus these clays extend the time.

Therefore, the amount of coal we use is one-third of the normal amount, or even less!And that's not even counting our advanced mining equipment.

If we calculate again, our cost is extremely low, which is much less than burning wood!you say.Are our costs low?That's why I brought you here.Do you understand? "

Dai Zhou understood everything now.This is what he was looking for!

He said excitedly: "Sir, can you transfer the briquette technology to us? We can pay for it!"

How much money can the court pay?Li Shimin didn't have much money anymore, he said how much money he had was a empty promise.

But Li Yin said: "What do you mean by transfer? This was originally made for the common people. We were going to promote it in the past few days, so that more people can use coal and make the lives of the common people more convenient! If If you want, I can provide you with these things!"

"Sir, you are a very kind man."

"It's just a small matter. Hello people, our Shengtang Group will be better, right? After all, we also rely on the people. Without the people, there would be no Shengtang Group!"

"What you said is very true, if everyone in the world can be like you, it must be great!"

"There are many people in the world who are like me, and they also care about the world!"

"Yes yes yes! Sir said yes!"

"By the way, sir, how was this thing made?"

"You come with me!"

Li Yin walked to the front.

Then they saw piles and piles of coal.

Beside the coals were piles of dirt, which had been mixed together.

Then it enters a huge machine and stirs, and it is fully mixed together.

Then it entered the assembly line, the machine roared, and the coal began to be conveyed...

After a while, a large amount of briquettes came out from the conveyor belt.

At this time, the workers transported the briquettes to the side to dry.

One by one, exactly the same.

Such an assembly line production is fascinating.

It would be nice if something could make something else!
"Sir...if the common people make their own briquettes, what should they do? They don't have any machines! Do they want to buy it from you? Or what should I do?"

He got to the point!

Sell?Li Yin doesn't know how to sell, this thing has no profit, if you want it, make it yourself!
"Look there!"

Li Yin pointed to the place next to it, where there was a T-shaped tool.

Dai Zhou was puzzled.

"This is?" "This is a mold of honeycomb coal, which can be artificially shaped into a unified form of coal cinders!"

"Huh? Such a simple thing is so amazing?"

"That's not it, look!"

Then Li Yingeng walked over and picked up the mold.

He grabbed and lifted the cinders on the side, then put it aside, and pressed it with his hands.

A huge briquette appeared in front of my eyes.

"This... so amazing!"

Dai Zhou didn't seem to have any words other than miraculous this noon.

"Sir, can you lend me your envoy?"

"Here, try it!"

"Yes!"

Dai Zhou also tried it.

Sure enough, this thing is not difficult at all.

It can be said that anyone can use it.

It's just that the efficiency is much lower.

"It turns out that this thing is so fun!"

"Is it fun? Then make more!"

"This thing takes too much effort! It's better to use a machine!"

"Of course, machines can be used instead. Of course, machines are the best! Human labor is used for more advanced things! For example, technology."

"What Mr. said is very true!"

Dai Zhou went on to say: "Sir, can this mold be borrowed from the official?"

"borrow?"

"Sir, it's okay to have difficulties, the current official didn't say anything!"

"We have such a good relationship, it's too far-fetched to say it, so I'll give it to you, anyway, I have tens of thousands of this thing!"

"Thank you sir!"

Li Yin knew that this guy must have talked to Li Shimin about what happened just now.

So, let him go.

It's not worth the money anyway.

After Dai Zhou finished speaking, he seemed to remember something.

So, I wanted to say goodbye to Li Yin.

"Wait, the officer will enter the Daming Palace and talk to His Majesty. Take your leave, sir."

"If you have something to do, go and deal with it. I'm going to be busy too! Farewell!"

"Please!"

So Dai Zhou took the briquette mold and went to the palace.

As soon as he left Shengtang Group, he ran into an old acquaintance.
