Alien Lord

"My lord, am I right? There are more than 20,000 catties of pig iron. If you want to smelt so much iron, even the largest furnace in the world will have to smelt it for three days and three nights. However, it can't be done here. For a long time, this..., this..." Gao Yan's voice was obviously trembling.

Lin Ze on the side smiled when he heard the words.

In his heart, he understood the shock of Gao Yan and the others, but, for Lin Ze, or for any modern person, this matter was not worth making a fuss about.

Lin Ze built a blast furnace of 15 cubic meters this time. Such a blast furnace can smelt 45 tons of iron per day even with a low utilization factor, such as 3.

More than 20,000 catties of pig iron ingots, that is, an output of about ten tons, which is less than one-third of the daily output!

The amount of pig iron was already enough. With a surprised expression on his face, Shen Lian closed the ditch for casting, and then opened the ditch leading to the iron frying furnace. There is more than an hour of frying in the iron furnace.

The reflective iron frying furnace looks like a teacup for kung fu tea, but its bottom and wall are hollow, so that the molten pig iron is contained in the cup, and fuel such as charcoal is burned at the bottom of the cup.

Then, the flame generated by the burning of charcoal as fuel passes through the arched teacup wall, reflecting the heat into the cup, and then heating the molten iron inside again. The molten pig iron in the cup is continuously discharged under the high temperature. Impurities, and finally, these impurities are turned into smoke, which is drawn from the inside of the chimney.

The section of the chimney just away from the furnace is directly buried under the groove where the molten iron flows. The incoming fresh air heats up, and finally the cooled flue gas is discharged into the air.

The molten iron in the heating furnace preheats the molten iron on the furnace inlet groove to heat the air blown into the combustion chamber at the bottom. The flame exerts residual heat all the way, and finally becomes a wisp of smoke and dissipates in the air.

Lin Ze has done such detailed work on smoke exhaust, in fact, for the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction.

Huangsha Town is originally a semi-desert area. This kind of ecological environment is extremely fragile. If one is not good, it is easy to turn this place into a real uninhabited area. Lin Ze wants to use Huangsha Town as his base. How could he destroy the ecology of Huangsha Town? It's too late to protect it.

Therefore, Lin Ze directly implemented the best possible environmental protection measures for his ironworks, in order to reduce the exhaust gas emitted by the ironworks and protect the surrounding environment of Huangsha Town.

and,

This will also serve as a demonstration for future ironworks.

With this ironworks, Lin Ze's ironworks will definitely adopt the same design in the future. In this way, the damage to the environment of the Chinese mainland will be greatly reduced in the future!

There is indeed plenty of aura on the Shenzhou Continent, and the growth rate of plants is many times stronger than that of the earth. However, if it is because of this reason, if the unscrupulous destruction and pollution of the environment on the Shenzhou Continent is made, the Shenzhou Continent will also become an unstoppable place in the not-too-distant future. Another China.

Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility!

...................................

Lin Ze's design directly isolates the fuel from the molten iron. In this way, once Lin Ze finds a coal mine in the future, he can use the coal with confidence. There is no need to deal with the coal at all, just dig it out and use it.

Anyway, because of Lin Ze's design, coal is no longer in direct contact with iron, so some harmful substances such as sulfur and phosphorus contained in coal will not be mixed into molten iron.

Compared with the charcoal that needs to be fired in the kiln, the cost of coal is much lower. Therefore, if the ironworks expand in the future, coal will be the preferred fuel.

At this time, because the molten iron has been heated again, dots of light have begun to appear on the surface-these are fine slag mixed in the molten iron.

Seeing this, the experienced Gao Yan took a deep breath and started the mixing equipment with his right hand.

"Click, wipe...!" There was a sound of starting, and a large disc installed on the top of the ironmaking furnace began to rotate slowly, and at the same time drove the three wrought iron rods under the disc to move continuously stand up.

Soon, the three wrought iron rods were stirring in circles in the molten iron, and the speed remained very stable.

Seeing this, Gao Yan and Shen Lian looked at Lin Ze again, their eyes filled with admiration.

Not to mention the new, never-before-seen steelmaking method that Lin Ze came up with, just the direct use of water power is so superb that senior craftsmen such as Shen Lian and Gao Yan are extremely impressed!

They never imagined that water, which is just very common, would have such a powerful effect and be able to provide such a great power.

After formally seeing the effect of water power, after Shen Lian and Gao Yan, they began to vigorously develop the effect of water power. In the near future, they really developed a lot of water power uses, and their names are therefore in history. On the top, an extremely thick stroke was left.

Of course, this is hundreds of years later.

The current Gao Yan and Shen Lian haven't even reached the basics of water power!

...................................

The molten pig iron that has just been smelted from the blast furnace generally has a carbon content of about 3%. Once stirred, the remaining carbon in the molten iron reacts violently with the oxygen in the air at high temperature, and then, a A large amount of carbon dioxide, at the same time, also releases a large amount of heat.

"Cuckoo...!" The molten iron was boiled directly, and the surface of the molten iron kept gurgling and popping out bubbles. At the same time, these bubbles kept pushing the slag floating on the molten iron directly. To the hearth, piled up.

The melting point of pig iron is about 1535 degrees Celsius, while that of pure iron is as high as 1535 degrees Celsius.

When the remaining carbon in the pig iron combines with the oxygen in the air, the carbon content in the pig iron water will of course gradually decrease, and correspondingly, its melting point will gradually increase, so the molten iron in the iron frying furnace will gradually become thicker. Thick, from clear soup to sauce, then from sauce to jelly... Finally, they gather into cute iron balls, which look like jelly that children like to eat.

These iron groups look a bit beautiful, but they don't know that they will be 'beaten' soon.

After seeing colloidal molten iron lumps appearing in the iron frying furnace, Shen Lian stopped stirring directly, and then, the workers who had been waiting for a long time, picked up the molten iron in the iron frying furnace with special long tongs. The colloidal molten iron is put under the forging hammer, and finally, it is beaten.

A sound of "Ding Ding Dang Dang..." sounded, and the remaining carbon elements in the colloidal molten iron mass were directly squeezed out by the powerful force in the form of simple graphite, and the carbon elements inside the molten iron Some fine scum and iron oxide debris on the surface, together with the high temperature, turned into sparks in the air. It looks really beautiful!

This forging is only to remove the remaining impurities in the molten iron mass. The process is actually very simple. Just use the pliers and tap it a few times under the forging hammer. There is no special requirement.

Because wrought iron is very soft at high temperatures, it is easy to shape. After a long time, the works of the apprentices can be of any shape, discus, iron rod, iron ball...

The voices of "Ding Ding Dang Dang...!" can be heard endlessly. If these voices are normal, they will only feel very harsh, and even curse a few words directly, but now these voices are very important to For people like Lin Ze, Wang Ming, and Qiu Kai, not only did they not feel harsh, but they felt that these voices were very 'beautiful'!

"It's so beautiful!" Wang Ming looked at the red iron block in front of him, and kept admiring in his mouth.

"Yeah, it's really a beautiful scene!" Qiu Kai agreed, his eyes were fixed on the red iron in front of him, as if this iron was more attractive than beautiful women.

"Yes, it is indeed beautiful!" Lin Ze responded.

With these steels, Lin Ze's strength has once again increased a lot.

Unlike Lin Ze, who only have steel in their eyes, Shen Lian and Gao Yan, the craftsmen on one side, only have the forging hammer waving in their eyes.

You know, when Gao Yan and Shen Lian were making iron, the process of forging wrought iron was the most labor-intensive.

It takes a lot of strength to clamp an iron block that weighs dozens of kilograms, and it also requires good timing.

Wrought iron is very soft and relatively easy to beat. However, after a long time and the temperature drops, the wrought iron becomes extremely hard. At this time, it cannot be beaten at all.

Therefore, Shen Lian and Gao Yan were really lucky to make iron before.

It's all right now, with the help of the hydraulic forging hammer, Gao Yan and Shen Lian saved a lot of effort, and the quality of the wrought iron hammered by the hydraulic forging hammer is better than that of Shen Lian and the others. many.

Therefore, the eyes of Shen Lian and Gao Yan are all shadows of water forging hammers.

For craftsmen like them, the hydraulic forging hammer is the best thing!

This time, the amount of wrought iron produced was a lot, a total of several hundred yuan. However, Shen Lian and Gao Yan also brought a large number of apprentices, with a total of four to five hundred people. Lin Ze was doing this to expand the iron smelting in the future. The factory or another ironworks are being prepared. There are four or five hundred apprentices, each of whom can’t get a share. In the end, they still have to queue up for the hydraulic forging hammer. The apprentices who can’t get it just stand on tiptoe and stretch their necks Look............
