Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Fortunately, he reacted very quickly, and immediately waved his hands calmly and said: "Nothing, nothing. What I mean is that the invention of the steam engine will definitely bring huge changes to the Ming Dynasty, and I have foreseen this a long time ago. , that’s why we put so much effort into promoting the application of steam engines.”

Although everyone was still confused, they nodded to express understanding.

Seeing this, Chu Ze didn't bother to explain more, so he continued:
"The last point is to enhance the safety awareness of miners. In the past, although they were familiar with mining techniques, they often neglected prevention and often caused disasters due to negligence. Therefore, we must conduct regular safety training so that every miner can always keep safety in mind and firmly establish a sense of norms."

“At the same time, we must also strengthen supervision and severely punish any violations.

Chu Ze thought over and over again. The most urgent thing at the moment was to solve the problems of raw material supply and product transportation so that the entire industrial chain could operate efficiently and without hindrance.

After careful consideration, Chu Ze made a decision.

Chu Ze changed the topic and said slowly: "Nowadays, the demand for steam engines far exceeds the supply. We must speed up the pace of production and meet all demands as soon as possible. To do this, we must first clear the transportation obstacles."

"Li Xing, you start immediately and organize workers to build a cement road connecting the mine and the industrial area."

Li Xing nodded knowingly and said with admiration: "Your Majesty, I'd like to see you. I'll start implementing it immediately."

Chu Ze nodded and then ordered: "Zhao Si, please arrange for manpower to deliver all the reserved steam engines to the factories in the industrial zone. There can be no further delay."

Zhao Er and Li Changji looked at each other with troubled expressions.

Although they believed in Chu Ze's new theory, they were at a loss as to how to implement it.

Zhao Si respectfully agreed and said: "You know, I know, I must go all out."

"Finally, a group of veteran miners who have experienced battles must be mobilized to train newcomers, fundamentally strengthen their skills and safety awareness, and eliminate all hidden dangers that may cause accidents. Remember, safety comes first, and do not violate anything. "

"First of all, we need to build work sheds and form a special engineering team to be responsible for the reinforcement and support of all mines. As I said before, the columns and supports of each mine must be thoroughly reinforced from the inside out, and we must not give up halfway. ”

"I admire the prince's new method, but it's hard to figure out how to implement it." Zhao Er said in a low voice.

These people spent a lot of money to buy the machine, so they had better send it over as soon as possible, otherwise they may be suspicious and accuse us if it takes too long. "

After Chu Ze finished speaking, someone immediately started to take action, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

After arranging these two urgent tasks, Chu Ze turned around and said: "The most critical thing next is to increase the mining volume of mineral resources. Li Changji, please immediately send me an order to ask all miners to stop all old-style operations." , to begin implementing our newly proposed mining method.”

“Secondly, we will recruit a group of workers from local and other places to expand the mining team.

Li Changji also nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Mining is an old skill passed down from our ancestors. Now it would be extremely difficult for the miners in Fengyang City to practice it all over again."

Zhao Er thought for a moment and suddenly had an idea. He asked Chu Ze for advice: "My lord, since you have studied this knowledge intensively, why not give some guidance yourself?"

"Oh? Then I will demonstrate it myself." Chu Ze nodded, changed the subject, and said with some enthusiasm: "You invite a few old miners to come, and I will give them a demonstration." "Yes. , I’ll invite you here!” Zhao Er responded and found several workers who looked like old miners in a blink of an eye.

Upon seeing this, Chu Ze nodded with satisfaction, and then demonstrated in public: "Please see, the first step in mining is to strengthen the mine. We first need to make a bracket out of wood or steel bars, and then erect it in the mine... …In this way, they are placed repeatedly at a certain distance. Then these columns are reinforced with horizontal and vertical supporting wooden strips or steel bars.”

As he spoke, he made a few vivid gestures.

"After the brackets are installed, we will lay a thick layer of steel plates on the ground to reinforce the foundation." Chu Ze continued: "Finally, the top of the mine must also be reinforced with reinforced concrete to prevent the rock layer from shrinking. Or become loose and suffer landslides. In short, not only will the stress on the mine itself be dispersed, but the pressure resistance will also be greatly enhanced.”

After Zhao Er and others listened, they were all impressed by Chu Ze's vivid explanation.

Zhao Er couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder the prince said that with these new theories and support methods, that tragedy will never happen again in the future."

"That's right." Chu Ze nodded, then turned to Li Xing and said, "Li Xing, go quickly and select a group of lumberjacks to prepare wood for the next task and start reinforcing the pillars in the entire Fengyang mining area."

"As ordered." Li Xing took the order and left, and in a blink of an eye he organized a logging team.

At the same time, Zhao Si, under Chu Ze's order, began to transport the reserved steam engines to the factory in the industrial zone in batches.

The manufacturing of the steam engine had been perfected, and Zhao Si and his team carefully transported it to the factories of various wealthy families or merchants, fearing that it would be damaged in the slightest.

The old craftsmen had seen the power of the steam engine and naturally hoped that they could have such a powerful tool as soon as possible.

Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the factory, the wealthy households who had been waiting for a long time were all excited and came to supervise the work and inspect the goods in person.

Some greedy people even asked the workers to demonstrate the operation on the spot and see the power of the steam engine with their own eyes.

Zhao Si was panting and had to agree one by one.

Ordinary workers can't help but feel fear. After all, steam engines are novel objects. Once the machine is damaged by improper operation, you won't even be able to pay for it if you sell it.

Fortunately, Zhao Si was prepared in advance and hired several young apprentices involved in the production of steam engines to serve as lecturers.
They had already developed the ability to control steam engines when they were interned in the government's manufacturing industry.

With these young operators serving as examples, the bosses were reluctantly relieved.

In this way, under the guidance of Zhao Si and several young people, the steam engines were started and operated one by one in the factory.

Although there are some minor problems in the middle, as long as it is debugged, it can finally work.

While the workers were working, the bosses witnessed the power of the steam engine with their own eyes, and they all applauded. They were even more excited when they saw the steam engine driving lathes, looms and other equipment. (End of chapter)
