Traveling through the sword to engage in military industry.

Chapter 34: The Infrastructure Maniac Begins with Li Yunlong (Seeking Follow-up Reading)
Ren Zhong did not mention the matter of copper coins. The quantity is not large now, and Ren Zhong has not thought of the trading model. This is not like penicillin, which is convenient to carry with you. If it is not handled well, Ren Zhong’s days in the base will not be so good.

In this regard, Ren Zhong would not be stupid enough to challenge human nature.

After trading penicillin with Zhang Wanhe, Ren Zhong thought that he had nothing else to do, so he went to check the progress of the earthen kiln and the research of Zhu Zhendong and others.

When Ren Zhong arrived at the earthen kiln construction site, he almost thought he had come to the wrong place!

Shit, did I go to the wrong place?
Ren Zhong rubbed his eyes vigorously, and an earthen kiln with its outline already appeared before his eyes!
After a few attempts, it only took a week to turn a vacant lot into a half-earth kiln!

"Brother Ren, take a look at this and see if it's like this. If you have any questions, please let me know so I can ask them to make changes." Li Yunlong, who had been shouting and moving clay nearby, saw Ren Zhong coming and greeted him from a distance.

Ren Zhong said that Zhang Wanhe had just arrived, and Li Yunlong appeared in the blink of an eye. It seemed that he was busy coming here to work!

"Old Li, how come the progress is so fast? How did you do it?" Ren Zhong raised a thumb and praised Li Yunlong. "Old Li, it would be a big loss if you don't become a contractor. With your progress, you can build a big villa in three years from scratch!"

"Brother Ren, stop talking nonsense about contractors and big villas. Come over here and see if there is any problem. Tens of thousands of people in the base are waiting with guns for us to make bullets. When I think of what you said about us building this place, we can produce at least tens of thousands of propellants for bullets in a month, I can't sleep at all!" Li Yunlong glared at Ren Zhong and shouted.

Although Li Yunlong was not completely reassured about Ren Zhong yet, he had seen that Ren Zhong had done a lot for the base during their time together. Not to mention the tens of thousands of dollars worth of penicillin, on the one hand, the base had a special life-saving medicine for inflammation, and on the other hand, it provided the base with a way to make money. Zhang Wanhe not only earned the base's medical expenses by acting as a middleman, but also made some extra money.

Just take the production of the propellant that Li Yunlong is currently engaged in. Ren Zhong not only provided the technology but also paid for the construction. If all spies could be as capable as Ren Zhong, Li Yunlong would wish he had ten or eight of them!
Therefore, Li Yunlong has gradually begun to identify with Ren Zhong, and naturally he no longer regards him as an outsider. He yells and scolds Old Li, and his true nature is exposed.

"Old Li, why are you in such a hurry? I'm on my way here." Ren Zhong didn't care. This was Old Li's true nature. No wonder he was able to gain a foothold and win the hearts of the troops quickly from the New 1st Regiment to the Independent Regiment.

This kind of temper is totally suitable for being in the army.

Ren Zhong ran over with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and saw that the earthen kiln was more than one person tall, taller than he had originally requested. "How is it? I thought a bigger kiln would allow me to burn more, so I expanded it a little bit." Li Yunlong's face was covered with sweat and mud, and he held his hand to show off to Ren Zhong.

"Old Li, you'd better be more careful. If you make this change, I don't know if the firing temperature will be high enough. It's not true that the bigger the earthen kiln, the better." Ren Zhong didn't know whether it would work.

"Boss Ren, it's okay. You just may need to burn more coal, and it has to be good coal. If you're worried that the coal isn't hot enough, you can add some coke in the middle. It just will cost more to burn." Old Li, a kiln worker nearby, interrupted.

It doesn't matter if the earthen kiln costs a little more money. Ren Zhong now has a way to make a lot of money. The exclusive penicillin has to be sold for at least five or six years before those rice-eaters can find a new way to mass produce it. In the next few years, if the sales channels of the base can be spread out and more manpower can be invested in promotion, Ren Zhong will be able to earn more gold than he can spend!
"If adding coke can solve the problem, then it won't be a big problem." Ren Zhong continued what the kiln worker Old Li said, "Shanxi Province doesn't lack coal, so naturally it won't lack coke either."

"Master Li, I see that the soil that Lao Li picked is dense and gray, and it seems to be different from the soil here. Is there any explanation for this?"

The local soil in Taihang is mostly reddish. What Lao Li picked was not only gray and dense, but also seemed to be relatively fine, without too many lumps and impurities.

"Boss Ren, this is the clay we found somewhere else. We use this clay to make bricks into the inner wall of the earthen kiln. After calcining, it will become hard and fire-resistant. Even if the earthen kiln is burned for a long time, it will not be deformed." The kiln worker Old Li took a look and explained.

It turned out that this was the refractory clay mine. Ren Zhong suddenly realized that he had checked the mineral resources in this area in the main world. There were really many kinds of them, including coal, iron, copper, uranium, phosphorus, bauxite, asbestos, crystal, mica, feldspar, silica, marble, dolomite, refractory clay, etc. There were more than 20 kinds of them. Among them, coal and iron reserves were abundant and distributed everywhere. In this area of ​​tens of kilometers, there were billions of tons of coal reserves! Of course, some coal was buried very deep underground, and the current simple mining method could not be used to mine it.

I didn't expect that Old Li would find refractory clay so quickly. This thing is a great treasure. It is not only indispensable for burning earth kilns, but also for the next important steel-making project.

Ren Zhong had only researched this area on the Internet and had not had time to visit the actual site. Now that the clay mine has been found, he should go to the site to see which coal mines and iron mines are suitable for mining by Lao Li and his team.

Ren Zhong had added a new task to himself. Exploration was a sensitive matter and could not be accomplished simply by spending money. The approximate location of coal mines and iron mines could be found on the Internet, as well as the situation on site. However, Ren Zhong was still worried because he had not visited the site.

"Brother Ren, just tell me whether our Li has done a good job or not?" Li Yunlong looked at Ren Zhong and knew that this boy was most likely fine, so he praised him with a smile.

Li Yunlong has a dog-like face and knows how to hit the snake with a stick.

"Great, Lao Li, your progress is amazing. Tell me how you did it?" Ren Zhong really wanted to know how Li Yunlong could complete almost a month's worth of work in just one week.

"Haha, this is not that difficult. You have money and food, so Old Li will go to the base to find more people and divide them into three teams to work in shifts. One team works for three hours, and nine hours a day in total! This way we can speed up the progress." Li Yunlong said with a little pride.

Shit, nine hours a day, that's eighteen hours of work. The capitalists would cry after hearing Lao Li's way of working.

There is no shortage at all. Old Li is observing and supervising the work on site. The progress of digging the pit is very fast and a prototype has been created. It looks like it will not be a problem to build it in a month.

After all, this is mainly physical work, and Lao Li was anxious, so he got two teams to work in shifts, and they can work eighteen hours a day!

Looking at Lao Li's bloodshot eyes, well, if Lao Li could hold on, this kid might be able to do a 24-hour four-shift job. Lao Li's talent in civil engineering work is really beyond words. He turned a limited construction site into an assembly line operation with a six-hour shift change, and he changed people but not the work surface.

Really, it would be a huge loss for Li Yunlong not to be a contractor.

However, Ren Zhong changed his mind and thought of another famous battle of Lao Li, in which he completely wiped out the progress of the tunnel dug by the Yamazaki Battalion. He was immediately relieved. In terms of civil engineering alone, even if Ding Wei and Kong Jie were tied together, they would not be a match for Li Yunlong.

Yes, with Lao Li around, Ren Zhong feels that it is not a dream to create a new infrastructure maniac in the world of Bright Sword.

"Brother Ren, Boss Ren, what are you looking at? Why does Old Li feel a chill on his back?" Seeing Ren Zhong's eyes constantly looking at him, Li Yunlong felt inexplicably uneasy, as if something bad was going to happen to him.
