Iron Castle, a very apt name.

The iron smelting technology of Shunguo is almost the same as that of the previous dynasty, especially the craftsman household system, which leaves no room for many new technologies to develop.

But it is not without development. In some mining areas, iron smelting craftsmen also improved and invented some new technologies, which increased the iron and steel output of Shun country.

Yang Yuan was taken aback when he learned that Shunguo was actually able to make steel directly, "I'm so arrogant, then my advantage of having the wisdom of my previous life is useless!"

After Yang Yuan had a chat with the craftsman recruited by Qigong, he found that his wisdom was still useful.

There are three main functions, increasing output, reducing steps and improving quality.

In the words of the artisan: "Sir, if it's the same as what you said, then this is a miracle of iron making!"

Then he took his son and apprentices to build an iron fort with the help of imperial soldiers.

The real name of the Iron Fort should be called the blast furnace, because it is higher than the average shaft furnace.

However, Sun Tong, the artisan who presided over its construction, prefers to call it the Iron Fort.

After Yang Yuan learned that the name was Sun Tongqi, he looked at him in surprise for a long time, but he didn't expect this little old man to have a middle school heart.

Sun Tong is one of the craftsmen recruited by Yang Yuan of the Seventh Gong Gang. He was originally a blacksmith, but he also has a lot of research on iron smelting. Hearing his name, he knew that he came from a blacksmith family.

"Master, you are here."

After Yang Yuan arrived, the first person to greet him was the captain of the imperial soldiers.

Because of the limited number of people, Yang Yuan only arranged a small team of imperial soldiers in the Iron Fort.

"Well, how is the situation?"

Yang Yuan asked as he walked, that today is the first time the blast furnace has been opened since the completion of the blast furnace.

"everything is normal."

The captain of the imperial soldiers followed behind Yang Yuan and replied.

After listening to this, Yang Yuan's originally tense face relaxed a little.

The result of this opening is very important.

It's done, he has another new source of money comparable to the salt business.

can't be...

If you can't continue your research without success, there must be a day when you will succeed.

Iron making is different from selling salt, it is not only about Yang Yuan's money bag, but also about the barrel of his gun.

As long as he has high-quality steel, he can build more industries, he can have more weapons and armor, and he can even start an artificially accelerated industrial revolution.

Do you say steel is important?

In Bluestar, after modern times, steel is the skeleton of a country and the embodiment of national strength. Countries with low steel production are like patients with rickets, unable to stand even on their feet.

The same is true in Middle-earth. Why are three nations able to occupy most of the land in Middle-earth?

If there are a lot of details, the quality of the officials, the elite level of the army, whether the lord of the country is wise, the court system, etc.

But in the final analysis, there are still three things. Some people have food and equipment, that is, steel.

Only with these three things, even if you can't dominate the Central Plains, you can still ensure that you are a powerful country.

Therefore, Yang Ding attached great importance to this ironmaking.

"Where's Master Sun?"

"Standing by the blast furnace, he said he wanted to see the molten iron come out as soon as possible."

Of course, Iron Fort's blast furnace couldn't be like the blast furnace in Bluestar Modern Steel Plant. It was just an improved soil blast furnace, about 30 feet high, which was already the limit of what Iron Fort could do.

"Is it about to be released?" Yang Yuan asked in surprise.

Am I late?

"Not yet, the knowledgeable Master Sun is not at ease. Since this morning, he has been inseparable from the blast furnace."

"Ok."

Every skilled craftsman must have a heart that loves to study.

When Yang Yuan arrived, Master Sun's son was pushing and pulling the bellows hard, and after Yang Yuan's reminder, the cold air in the bellows passed through a heating tunnel before entering the iron-making furnace, which greatly saved fuel and improved the molten iron. quality.

As for iron making, Yang Yuan knew the general concept of the blast furnace, he only knew that it was enough to do two things.

One is to increase the volume of the blast furnace, and the other is to increase the temperature in the furnace.

Only by doing well in these two aspects can we urgently need to study factors such as carbon content.

Therefore, methods such as coke and heating tunnels were taught to Sun Tong by Yang Yuan.

Master Sun did not disappoint Yang Yuan either. With Yang Yuan's inspiration, he not only successfully replicated the blast furnace, but also successfully refined molten iron.

"Master Yuan, we succeeded! We succeeded!"

Master Sun came to Yang Yuan with a dark face, which was caused when he just went to observe the molten iron.

"Okay, Master Sun's contribution to the success of ironmaking this time is not without it. I announce that in the future, Master Sun's monthly payment will increase to 30 taels, and everyone else's monthly payment will increase by 50 taels.

"Thank you, Young Master Yuan!"

"Young Master Xie Yuan for the reward!"

……

Yang Yuan announced the rewards for the craftsmen on the spot, and won the cheers and love of many craftsmen.

Looking at the cheerful crowd, Yang Yuan didn't feel sorry for the money he sent out at all. If it weren't for the fact that he didn't have much money now, he would be willing to give it for one hundred and two months, even if it was a horse bone in a thousand gold market, it would be worth it.

After everyone calmed down, Yang Yuan found Sun Tong.

"Master Sun, how much iron can we make in a day?"

This question is the key.

"Now, because of the coke and blast speed, it takes a day to produce a furnace of molten iron, but one furnace of iron in our iron castle is equivalent to four furnaces in other places, and on average, two thousand catties of wrought iron can be smelted a day."

Shunguo's wrought iron is iron with a carbon content of less than 2%, including wrought iron with a carbon content of less than 0.02% and a carbon content of 0.02% as defined by Bluestar. Between two and two percent steel.

Therefore, a blast furnace in Tiebao can produce 2,000 catties of steel a day, but only one ton, and only more than 300 tons a year, which is not enough at all.

And Sun Tong also raised a question, "We currently have insufficient iron ore and coal.

Regarding the iron ore issue, I have questioned the elders in the village and found that there may be mines in Sanyang Mountain, but coal needs to be purchased. "

Yang Yuan nodded and said he knew. He never thought that ironmaking would use so much coal before, so he only purchased some for heating in winter.

Now Yang Yuan's expenses are going to increase again.

"Master Sun doesn't have to worry about raw materials. If it's not enough, just tell Yang Ding and he will buy it for you."

"Then it's fine."

Sun Tong, who had just successfully made a furnace of iron, was in high spirits. He even seemed to be building a second blast furnace.

However, Yang Yuan persuaded him temporarily, "Master Sun, let's wait until the ore and coal issues are resolved before building a new blast furnace."

So Sun Tong had no choice but to give up the idea with regret, and talk about it later.

After Yang Yuan left the Iron Fort, he felt very comfortable, and his vision was being realized step by step.

The impact of the drought did not disrupt life in Giethoorn.

Although there was less food in the fields, no one went hungry.

Thinking of this, Yang Yuan wanted to give himself a compliment, because in his opinion, leading more and more people to live a good life is his greatest wish.

"In order to realize this wish as soon as possible, I have to work harder."

After returning to Qianlong Village, Yang Yuan found that he seemed to be idle all of a sudden.

Business routes are getting familiar, and new industries are developing in an orderly manner~www.wuxiax.com~ Purifying snow salt has long since needed him to intervene.

"What am I going to do? Go back to the village to see grandparents and mother kiss them, or go to Zhangjia Village to find Xiaoyu, or go to the woods to practice martial arts?"

Yang Yuan thought about it for a moment and thought that going home was the most important thing, so he brought enough ingredients and Yang Yuan set foot on the way home.

But beyond Yang Yuan's expectations, although the family was very happy to see him back, and the younger brother jumped for joy when he saw the chicken, duck, fish and rabbit in his hand, they didn't want Yang Yuan to stay at home longer. time.

Grandpa: "You are now concerned with the livelihood of hundreds of people. You can't be too lazy. Go back quickly."

Mother: "A good man is in all directions, so don't worry about your home. Your grandparents, your younger siblings, and your mother will take care of you. You must pay attention to your health when you are outside!"

Grandma: "Your grandfather and your mother are right!"

Yang Kai: "Leave the meat, brother, go wherever you want."

In the end, the younger sister was even more reluctant to bear the elder brother: "Brother, don't leave, stay with me at home for a while, okay?"

At this time, Yang Kai came over and hugged his younger sister, "Don't pester the elder brother, the second elder brother accompanies you to play. Let me tell you, mother stewed chicken today, it's delicious!"

Just like that, Yang Yuan hurried back to his home and hurried out of the house.

Until he walked into Qianlong Village, Yang Yuan was still a little stunned: I was blasted out by someone?

I can't believe it!

In Yang Yuan's family, grandparents, grandparents, and younger siblings sat together to eat.

Yang Yuanniang: You dare not go home for so long, and next time you won't be allowed to enter the house.

"Xiao Kai, eat quickly. After eating, go to Qianlong Village and tell your brother to go home."

Yang Yuan: ...

What a fuss!
