Empress Industrial Project

Chapter 156 Cooperation ([-])

The diameter of the foot of the mountain is about 200 meters. It takes half an hour to go around a circle, which is an hour in modern times.

Such a place with a flat bottom and foothills is most suitable for digging holes for furnaces, so the iron smelting workshop in Beiyang City was placed here.

To smelt lump iron, the furnace is usually dug in flat ground or at the foot of a mountain, filled with high-grade iron ore and charcoal, ignited, and heated by blasting.

When the temperature reaches about 1000°C, the iron oxide in the ore will be reduced to metallic iron, and the gangue will become slag.

Iron came.

Of course, there is still an essential difference between iron ore and iron ore powder for iron smelting.

The concentration of iron ore that can really smelt iron is very high, but the iron ore concentration required for iron ore is not at the same level at all.

Looking at the extremely lively scene, Qiao Yurong recalled that this desolate and dilapidated place was exuding vitality in about three days, and her brows and eyes were relaxed.

It was Eunuch Mo who did things to reassure her.

Qiao Yurong looked at the blacksmiths who were digging holes at the foot of the mountain, and asked Eunuch Mo, "Old Mo, is this a pond for smelting iron?"

Eunuch Mo nodded respectfully: "My lord, there are a lot of iron and stones here, just the few pools before are not enough, and the lord also said that it will be very big, so the slave simply asked the idle blacksmiths to dig out a few more pools. indivual."

Qiao Yurong looked satisfied and praised: "You did the right thing."

After a pause, he asked, "Has iron smelting started yet?"

Eunuch Mo replied: "Yes, my lord, it's just that the building has not started yet, so first smelt the iron."

Qiao Yurong's smile became more and more intense. Eunuch Mo's approach is right. Iron is needed to make a heater. Without iron, how can we make it?

So the first thing is to ensure the uninterrupted supply and demand of iron.

When the heating is put on the schedule and starts to be built, a lot of iron is needed. At present, this iron is really not enough.

Qiao Yurong looked at Han Qing with a smile on his face and said, "Brother Han, look, there is no shortage of iron, and the only thing left is to make the heating directly."

Han Qing didn't look at her, but looked at Iron Smelting Workshop with a cold expression and no interest.

Qiao Yurong thought for a while and then continued: "Brother Han, let's go to a place more than ten miles ahead. There is a cement factory there. Now I tell you what cement is. You may understand, but I promise that this Cement must be useful and very profitable."

The heater has not yet been built, and the practical use and benefits have not been seen. This Han Qing seems to have no interest at all. It seems that it is difficult to let him divide the shares in Dazhou equally.

So Qiao Yurong could only throw cement to attract Han Qing, and then sat down with Han Qing to talk about the shares slowly.

Her goal is not one Northland, but the entire Great Zhou.

Han Qing looked at Zhu Yurong like this, and said lightly, "Okay!"

Qiao Yurong is so... smart now, so she wants to see what cement is.

The two of them got into the carriage again and headed to the location where the iron ore powder was ground.

On the carriage, Qiao Yurong finally stopped moving, but told Han Qing concisely about the role of cement, which is to make the flat ground smooth, without stones, dust, or potholes.

You must know that there was no cement in ancient times, only the avenue leading to the imperial palace was called Yujie, which would be paved with neat green bricks. Apart from that, most of the other streets were dirt roads.

Like the TV in the previous life, even the entrance of the county government office was covered with neat and flat green bricks, which is completely deceiving.

　One more!
