Alien Lord

It's time to ignite the iron smelting!

Lin Ze saw that everything was ready and the time had come, so he asked Hu Yan to direct the people to light the stove and start feeding the stove after it heated up.

"Hu Yan, start iron smelting!" Lin Ze ordered calmly.

"Yes, my lord!" Hu Yan took the order, and soon began to make iron.

If it is on the earth, some names will be made here, such as ribbon cutting, in order to be a good omen or something, but now Lin Ze has no intention to get this, besides, let’s get one here Someone needs to understand the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

The next moment, Hu Yan directly picked up the turpentine torch and threw it into the blast furnace through the tap hole at the bottom.

Soon, the rest blower at the bottom was started, but there was no waste residue to preheat at the beginning, Hu Yan immediately had a bunch of firewood lit in the low furnace to heat the air inside.

The valve of the taphole is made of pig iron, and the inside is covered with a thick layer of refractory mud. When bursts of green smoke rolled out from the mouth of the furnace, one of Hu Yan's subordinates named Xu San lay outside the mouth, squinted his eyes and looked inside, and then quickly said: "My lord, there is a lot of fire inside. Leh, no problem!"

With that said, he closed the trap door.

After hearing this answer, Hu Yan waved his hand directly and said, "Gufeng!"

Following Hu Yan's instructions, the workers around him who had been prepared for a long time immediately pulled the trigger. Then, the Huojia Niu below began to output animal power continuously. The huge animal power machinery was driven by the huge strength of the Huo Jia Niu. The bottom rotates slowly, and the powerful force continuously pulls the power output device, which directly transmits the power from the bottom to the top, and then the eccentric wheel turns the rotary motion into the reciprocating motion of the bellows piston.

In this way, accompanied by the sound of chirping and rattling of wooden utensils, fresh air was continuously blown into the blast furnace from the air duct.

At first, because of the need to maintain stability, or because we just started, we needed to be careful, so everything turned slowly, which caused the air pressure of the blower to decrease, and the oxygen supply in the furnace was quite insufficient. Therefore, at this time, from the furnace Puffs of thick black smoke rose from the ceiling, directly turning the surrounding space into a night, and then, a strong pungent smell came, causing many of the people present to immediately close their breaths .

However, Lin Ze and Hu Yan didn't care. They had already been mentally prepared for this.

"Increase the speed!!" Hu Yan ordered again without saying anything.

"Yes, my lord!"

As the power output of the Huojia Niu below turned faster and faster, the blower also began to show its power, and the oxygen in the furnace was also fully supplied. White, the color is getting lighter and lighter, and finally, a large flame rises merrily from the top of the furnace.

In addition to charcoal, the furnace is also filled with iron ore that has been washed and calcined in an earthen kiln, and limestone is used as a slagging agent. Now that the fire is strong, the workers can continue to add materials to it according to the procedure.

A worker quickly pulled the winch under Hu Yan's order, and the winch linked with the animal machine below quickly rotated quickly and smoothly. Through the pulley block, the rope of the blast furnace feeding dump truck was slowly tightened, and the dump truck was Climb to the top of the blast furnace along the 30-degree inclined rail.

When they got to the right position, the people below pulled the control cable in their hands, and the ore in the car above was poured into the blast furnace.

After everything was poured, the dump truck slowly returned following the operation of the staff below, and the other workers who had been waiting for a long time immediately shoveled the charcoal into it, and then it climbed up the stove top again ...and so on and on and on and on.

At this time, someone ignited the coal in the preheating pool, and the air entering the furnace was preheated and blown into the furnace to intensify the combustion reaction inside.

Charcoal and iron ore can be said to meet and hate each other at this time. In the fiery blast furnace //lang//love//concubine//yi, hugging and rolling, the released fire rushed out of the top of the furnace and went straight to the sky, countless Sparks are constantly splashing, such a picture, even in the daytime, looks so beautiful and so exciting.

Everyone stayed by the stove at this time, watching this strange scene that they had never seen before. After seeing such a scene, many interested people were even more in awe of Lin Ze in the crowd.

It's not that these people have never seen iron smelting before, but this is the first time they have seen such a large-scale and such a magical method.

There are also some caring people who can't help but start thinking in their hearts at this time, thinking about what they should do in the future, how they should get along with Lin Ze, and so on.

It takes a long time to make iron, but for some people, this time seems a bit too short.

No, just after lunch, a staff member hurriedly stumbled to Lin Ze and Hu Yan, his face was flushed, and the veins on his neck were throbbing: "My lord, my lord, Too, too fast! Hurry up, my lord, you better go and have a look, the furnace has already been boiled into molten iron!"

At this time Lin Ze smiled, shook his head and said, "It's normal, there is no need to make such a fuss, Hu Yan, let's go and have a look!"

After speaking, Lin Ze got up and walked towards the direction of the blast furnace with a calm face.

It's just that Lin Ze is very calm here, but those who know some ironmaking technology are really excited at this time.

Can these people not be excited? They have seen some iron smelting scenes with their own eyes before, and some people have even smelted it with their own hands several times. The scale and speed are much smaller than the one in front of them, and the iron produced at one time is also less. However, it takes a lot of effort. However, the cost of charcoal is more than ten times, or even dozens of times, and there is no day and night when iron is smelted, and it is impossible to turn iron into water.

Now, in less than half a day, the iron ore hadn't been burned red before, but now it is directly smelted into molten iron. This scene has shocked countless people!

In fact, this is not surprising. Think about it, when you eat hot pot in summer, if the air conditioner in the room is blowing directly on the hot pot in front of you, will the hot pot not boil for a long time?

Ironmaking is actually the same. Air blowing into a blast furnace with a temperature of 20 degrees Celsius at room temperature is like pouring ice water on the fire. The charcoal in the furnace not only heats the iron ore, but also heats the air. , the air has just heated up, and then runs away from the stove top, and new cold air blows in from the air duct, and it repeats like this.

Faced with such a situation, no matter how much fuel you add, no matter how much effort and energy you expend, it will be wasted in vain, because you are actually doing useless work.

The air preheating is different. The charcoal here is reacting violently with the iron ore, and it is burning. The hot air of thousands of degrees here rushes in directly, and then it is like adding fuel to the fire. The fire, all of a sudden I got up directly, and the temperature soared afterwards, which is conceivable.

Lin Ze and Hu Yan knew this very well, so they both looked indifferent.

At this time, it can be clearly seen from the observation port on the side of the blast furnace that all the molten iron inside is now gathered at the bottom of the furnace. It seems that it presents a very charming orange-red feeling of steel. According to the current state of the molten iron, it should be The furnace can be tapped!

Hu Yan nodded, indicating that he could open the way.

The workers who had been prepared for a long time put on thick cotton clothes for protection at this time, and then held long-handled iron tongs and opened the valve of the taphole at the lower part of the blast furnace, and the molten iron jumped and rushed out.

The molten iron comes out together with the slag, but the iron is heavy and the slag is light, so most of the slag floats on the surface, because a special interception device is installed, so the big pieces are covered by a baffle made of pig iron on the groove Block it, and then the surrounding workers took long iron rods and scraped the slag aside.

At this time, the trenches for casting are wide open, and the molds have been set up on the ground. At this time, the molten iron from which the large slag has been removed flows into the molds from the trenches, and casts are more than a hundred. A heavy block of pig iron.

Because the specific gravity of iron is 7.8, although it looks like a pig iron block of about 100 catties, it is actually about the size of a small square stool.

In a short while, more than two hundred pig iron ingots were easily cast.

Those who are trustworthy outside are completely stupid seeing this place. As long as they are not fools, these pig iron blocks in front of them can roughly estimate a rough number, and it is this number that makes these people think that they are not in it. dream.

Like Xu Dongxing, he used to be in charge of purchasing some weapons for the White Elephant Legion in Huangsha Town, so he was very familiar with steel and the like, and he also knew the output of the surrounding iron factories.

According to what he saw with his own eyes, the largest ironworks in Linsha City in the surrounding area usually produce iron once every three days. Well, the ones placed here alone weigh more than 20,000 catties!

The most important thing is that this is only half a day. If it is changed to three days, then this number will have to be increased several times. Moreover, there is not only one blast furnace here, but five other ones.

If all these blast furnaces also start smelting, then...

Thinking of this, Xu Dongxing directly pinched his thigh, and said with a trembling voice in his heart: "This is simply a miracle, a miracle, am I not mistaken? More than 20,000 catties of pig iron, even if it is a collection of all the iron factories in Shazhou, I have to practice for three full days and three nights, but here is less than half a day, this Lin Lixuan is really too strong, too strong, it seems that I can make up my mind on some things..."

Not only Xu Dongxing, but also some other caring people made a decision in their hearts after calculating this number.

Lin Ze is well aware of this, he will let people see him in such a fair way, in fact, he has the purpose of shocking.
