Alien Lord

The success of the cement factory greatly increased Lin Ze's confidence in building a factory.

To build fortifications, reservoirs, and bridges, cement alone is not enough. How can we do without steel bars, but there is no iron factory here in Huangsha Town, let alone a steel factory.

Although Huangsha Town is one of the later bases of the Baixiang Legion, the iron and steel needed for production here are all purchased from Linsha City.

The iron and steel industry is the most profitable, and it is also a key point that the royal family attaches the most importance to. Therefore, it is not easy to build iron factories in some places, and all the iron and steel factories are controlled by some powerful people.

If it was before, Lin Ze would not have this qualification, but now Lin Ze is different. He can actually control the entire sandbar, so it is really just a matter of saying that he wants to build a steel factory.

Even if the royal family knew about it, they wouldn't care.

As far as a small iron and steel factory is concerned, how could the royal family of Chu take it to heart.

However, after a few years passed, the royal family of the Chu State was dumbfounded, because the output and quality of the steel plant built by Lin Ze far exceeded their expectations, and even in the end, the output of just one steel plant could directly grind equal to the output of the iron factory controlled by the entire royal family, and Lin Ze had three such iron factories at that time.

It's just that it was too late for the royal family to regret it at that time, because at that time Lin Ze's strength was no longer something the royal family could resist.

There are no iron mines in Huangsha Town, but there are a few small iron mines in Mo Town.

Of course, this is just the opinion of other people. Lin Ze has personally inspected the so-called small iron mines in Mozhen. will detect errors.

In the past, Lin Ze did not have the qualification to get involved in these 'small iron mines', but now the real Mo Town belongs to Lin Ze, so of course, these iron mines here also belong to Lin Ze.

Now there are only three miniature ironworks above Mozhen, the technology is extremely backward, and it is actually a rural-level blacksmith shop. The only difference is that this blacksmith shop is slightly larger, but the iron produced The quality is really 'touching'.

For some irons, Lin Ze can break them with a light touch, and the difference in quality can be seen.

Even the iron is of such quality, let alone the steel behind it.

Don't say it was made by chance, so far, there has not been a single piece of steel in the several miniature blacksmith shops here.

Thinking of the future development, steel may be the most important material, and the foundation is already there, so Lin Ze soon decided to build his own steel factory as soon as possible while he has time to personally supervise the work!

There are several iron mines here in Mo Town, and they are still open-pit iron mines. What about manpower, this is what Huangsha Town is not short of now, and there is no problem with the technology. Lin Ze's plane seed world has a lot of rock and soil steelmaking technology.

As for other materials, limestone, coal, etc. are also available, and now the iron ore raw materials for ironmaking are also available, and the rest is to start building steelmaking plants.

Apart from iron ore, the most important raw materials for steelmaking are coke and limestone, both of which are more convenient to refine now that there is a cement factory.

In fact,

In Linsha City, there are several iron-making workshops, but the furnaces there are all small furnaces with a shaft furnace structure, similar to an earthen kiln, and the output and quality are not high. Such steelmaking technology, For Lin Ze, there is no need to learn from the truth.

This time, Lin Ze is preparing to adopt the indigenous steelmaking technology of that era.

In that magical era, a steel factory could be built in a few days, and it was built in every region, and the iron-making process was publicized.

Right now, the situation in Huangsha Town is similar to that at that time. They still have nothing, they start from scratch, and most of them are illiterate. Lin Ze has seen some relevant information, and similar situations have been repeatedly mentioned above. Therefore, the blast furnace ironmaking technology at that time was most suitable for Lin Ze's current situation.

The reason for choosing the blast furnace ironmaking process is that the blast furnace ironmaking process is relatively simple and easy to be mastered by workers. In addition, the final production volume is large, labor production efficiency is high, and energy consumption is low.

Therefore, even before Lin Ze came to the mainland of China, those western////developed countries were planning to gradually phase out blast furnace ironmaking, but this method was still used by most steel factories in the world. For the mainland China, which is now extremely backward, this is already the most top-level iron-making process.

Of course, it doesn't mean that the ones on the mainland of China are definitely worse than the ones on the earth.

If you really say that, you are very wrong. The mainland of China is the world of cultivators, and there are even more amazing craftsmen here.

The refiner's refining method is much more powerful than the steelmaking technology on the earth. The spiritual materials they refine, the steelmaking method on the earth, cannot be copied at all, even if they can copy some by luck, The price and money that needs to be paid are really beyond the affordability of ordinary countries.

Not to mention other things, just the low-level spiritual material like black iron, if it is really brought to the earth, it will definitely kill countless material scientists.

Therefore, don't think that the blast furnace can't be realized in the hands of Lin Ze. With the presence of a refiner, the refining of the blast furnace is really not a problem.

The only regret is the blower equipment. Lin Ze is still unable to use an internal combustion engine or other modern machine-powered blower to blow the air like later generations. Even because of the lack of water in Huangsha Town, he uses hydraulic power No, he can only replace it with a blower driven by animal power, which will reduce production capacity.

However, even so, compared to Linsha City and other backward iron smelting factories, Lin Ze's production capacity is already astonishing.

The first is the location selection. Considering the relatively large body of the Huojianiu, the scope of the steelmaking plant this time needs a relatively larger place.

Two days later, Lin Ze quickly chose a place. This is a place located in the west of Huangsha Town. The terrain is flat and wide, and there are no plants around. In the world of the sky, an area the size of ten football fields was directly leveled out.

The west side of here is open, and there is a distance from Huangsha Town. Pollution and the like will not float to Huangsha Town, and it is not far from the barracks. After that, as long as the cement road is paved, the army can arrive in less than half an hour, so , this is definitely the right place.

After choosing a place, Lin Ze started construction.

He specially refined some animal power tools, and set up more than a dozen large and small animal power borrowing facilities. In order to ensure enough animal power, Lin Ze dispatched more than 300 Houtian four-story Huojia cattle this time to provide smelting the power needed.

To the east is a long row of bricks, half buried charcoal kilns, which can effectively keep heat and improve the utilization rate of raw materials. Its structure is similar to a two-story building, the first floor is used for heating, and the second floor is used to store raw wood for charcoal.

This place is not far from the iron mines on the edge of Mo Town, and there is a lot of limestone a little farther away. The only disadvantage is that there are no coal mines nearby.

However, the weight of coal after refining into coke is already light, and now the cement road is being fully constructed, so it can be transported directly when the time comes.

After choosing the place, Lin Ze summoned the craftsmen in the engineering battalion, plus the people who had been recruited earlier, a total of three or four thousand people, and drove into the chosen place here to start building the first Steel Plant.

The first is the furnace body, which is built with refractory bricks inside, and the gaps are filled with mud joints. The outside is piled up with ordinary bricks, and finally sealed with cement to ensure that it is both heat-resistant and strong.

From top to bottom, the blast furnace body is divided into five parts: the furnace throat, the furnace body, the furnace waist, the furnace bosh, and the hearth.

Lin Ze has no experience in building steel factories. He only knows how to use the theory on the blueprints in the seed world of the plane to grope forward with his subordinates. It can be said that the ninth floor has not actually seen it. Fortunately, Lin Ze's subordinates lack the ability to move forward. Talents, a large number of refiners were mobilized, under the full research of everyone, and Lin Ze carefully experimented with some small steel factories in the seed world of the plane, so he quickly created the cultivation The world version of the Mutant Blast Furnace.

Then, a feeding hole was opened on the top of the furnace to load iron ore, coke, and limestone (as a flux for slagging).

Under the furnace, open the air outlet and connect the air pipe to blow in the preheated air.

Animal power on one side drives the blower, and the blown air passes through the air duct to a low furnace, where the waste slag discharged from the blast furnace after iron smelting is placed, and the waste heat is used to preheat the passing air. Then it passes through the air duct and enters the blast furnace.

Coke is already available. Before that, Lin Ze established an ancient local coke refining workshop not far from the coal mine, and there are still a lot of coke refined with coal.

After a few days of busy work like this, everything was finally ready.

According to the above records in the data, in the blast furnace during ironmaking, the carbon in the coke and the oxygen blown into the air are burned at high temperature to form carbon monoxide, and the oxygen, sulfur and phosphorus in the iron ore are removed during the process of rising in the furnace. , reduced to iron.

The smelted molten iron is released from the iron hole, and the unreduced impurities in the iron ore are combined with fluxes such as limestone to form slag, which is discharged from the slag hole to the low furnace.

As for the waste gas such as gas produced by Zhihong in this refining process, Lin Ze wants to use it, but with her current ability, it is not possible to continue to use it, and, with his current technology, it is dangerous to use it. It is very high, so it can only be drained in vain.
