Chapter 141 The Farm
Watching the hot molten steel in front of him gradually cool down into steel ingots, Chen Jingtai fell into a trance again: Is this really the 17th century?High-quality electric furnace, molten steel that has repeatedly removed impurities, advanced pre-furnace testing, and beautiful sand molds. All these should appear in the 21st century!
And the broken factory that I was demolished in the 21st century is suitable for this barren land-the smelting process without any quality control, the migrant workers carrying the crucible and pouring molten steel into the trench in the open air, after hot rolling because there are too many impurities , had to use a welding torch to repair the hole in the steel plate
Shaking his head back to reality, Chen Jingtai began to think about the future while accepting congratulations from various guests.Although the first batch of molten steel has been successfully released, there are still many areas that the steel plant needs to improve: the flue gas preheating furnace charge system is necessary, and the steel rolling system is also necessary. Tinplate, of course, is the machine tool after this, and after the machine tool, the descendants of the stamping machine are endless.

Another important point is: to pay close attention to self-production including various steelmaking additives, ladles, and consumables such as electrodes and cables. This is the top priority for steel mills to survive.

Traveling through the crowd is equivalent to forcibly lighting up a node in the middle of the steel technology tree. However, the time for this node to be lit is limited. The rest of the nodes must be opened up as soon as possible to avoid stopping production due to consumables.

As the current time-traveling forces are spreading more and more stalls in the big staff, almost all aspects of production, life, military and medical care need imported materials to support consumption; The self-production rate of basic consumables will increase, otherwise, the imported material boxes will sooner or later evolve into consumable supplementary boxes, and the pace of development of the entire system will stagnate.

After the first furnace of steel ingots was successfully produced, it immediately received the treatment of the top post of the forum, and almost all departments congratulated it under the post.

And Chen Jingtai, who has swelled into a dog, also proudly listed a long list of imported equipment designated by his old man under the post: hot rolling line, cold rolling line, various supporting smelting equipment, various joint processing centers, various Models of CNC turning, planing, milling and grinding machines, various.
The old and young men were still in Pleasant Goat one moment, and knelt down the next moment.

Faced with the situation of quarreling, the big office finally came forward to explain after comprehensively analyzing the situation: currently there is not so much steel for rolling.Because for some time to come, most of the raw and wrought iron shipped from Hangzhou does not need to be smelted into steel, and only the refined cast iron after secondary refining is enough.

Cast iron is actually used for most of the expensive parts such as the skeleton of a ship, the base of various industrial equipment, and the shell, so the steel rolling line still has to wait.At present, there is no need for these equipments at all for the import of pig iron. The next step for steel mills is to build their own iron furnaces, and then import a few supporting machine tools and heat auxiliary pipes.

So when do you get on the device?It depends on the progress of the shipyard.

The strategic attitude of the generals is currently shrinking, because the traversing crowd does not have a fist that can be used - the fleet, the indigenous crew, the self-made guns, ammunition and artillery that can be used in unlimited quantities, these necessary conditions for offense are now all Not close hands.

Only when a fleet is formed, and it is a Chinese-style fleet similar in appearance to Guangzhou Shipyard and Fuchuan, can the navy cost-effectively send a pilot ship to lead the fleet through many obstacles, dock at Guangzhou or Fuzhou wharf, and find a way to buy bulk commodities—— "Population", grain, raw and wrought iron, iron ore.

Therefore, before the shipyard explodes the fleet, or before the problem of Zheng Zhilong is dealt with, the staff can only passively receive external resources.

After Chen Jingtai's lion opened his mouth and was blocked back, the melon-eating crowd breathed a sigh of relief. If this guy succeeds, at least in the first half of this year, everyone will have to watch him alone. This can't be tolerated. Imported supplies, people People have a share is king
Liang Letian and Mi Shuo were sitting on the tricycle, one was smoking silently, the other was fanning the wind with a bamboo hat, looking very leisurely.

There are currently 4 electric tricycles in total, two from the infrastructure department, one from the kiln base, and one from the farm department.

Liang Letian and Mi Shuo are the current big and small kings of the Farm Department.

The Farm Department currently has no farms.

Since passing through the occupying officers, Liang Letian and the others who engage in agriculture have basically been invisible.There is no way, all the land is in a wild state, with savages running and flying mosquitoes floating on it, which cannot be handled by farmers with hoes.

Liang Letian and the others are known as the Farm Department, but in fact they have never had a farm for them to cultivate. Since they took over the leadership, they have basically no sense of existence. The most common job is to eat grass and grow grass.

Idle is idle Starting from the Chikan area, after many barren grasslands were burned, Liang Letian and the others directed their agricultural workers to repair the salted land, and then sowed salty grass seeds on the spot.

The seeds are bought from Hangzhou - salty grass is a kind of rush grass, which is resistant to salt and alkali, has good elasticity, strong tensile strength, and bright colors. It is an excellent grass for straw mats and sandals. During the Japanese occupation period in Taiwan, Beitou Rush is a well-known specialty.

The Tainan Plain is an alluvial plain. In the 17th century, nearly one-third of the coastal land was saline soil. The beautiful Tainan farms like a green carpet in later generations are all after large-scale land transformation. results.

Liang Letian and the others have neither the ability nor the mood to carry out any salt-altered land transformation.The arable land area of ​​the Tainan Plain in later generations is 3200 square kilometers. For the poor size of the crossing people, it is like a mouse falling into a rice jar. Trouble on the ground.

So we can just plant a little grass and pull it down.

Later, with the expansion of the Chikan New District, they opened experimental fields outside the new district and planted some vegetables and some salt-alkali-tolerant crops—sweet sorghum and alfalfa.

This half-dead situation lasted until the Tainan Suppression General settled the Madou Club.The bosses in the big office, who have long been restless about the current agricultural development situation, have been meeting with Liang Letian and Mi Shuo continuously these days, asking the two former agricultural technicians to act quickly to solve the serious problem of grain outsourcing for the regime as soon as possible.

Liang Mi and the others extorted an electric tricycle from the big office today, and then ordered a German Fendt electric tractor.

"Do you still want to produce your own food?" Pooh, what about nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, pesticides, and improved seeds?

The two of them left the door of the business hall, and while riding a three-wheeler for a ride, they raised their middle fingers and scolded the ignorant princes of the court.As soon as he spoke, he ran to the wharf, yelling at people to carry the tricycle into a small boat, then crossed the Taijiang River, set off from Chikan, and drove all the way to the Yaoqu base. Drive past and head straight to the other side.

Yes, the farm newly selected by the Farm Department a few days ago is on the other side of Xingang River, across the river from Kiln District.
