Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Therefore, although Stina's big failure also hurt Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan has almost gotten used to things like big ups and downs in his life, so the setback brought by the little wife is nothing.

Although it is really heart-wrenching to set up a Huayang Smelting Division with a blast furnace of several square meters in Chang'an, but because of this, Chen Xi at least returned a team of professionals, just because he, Yuan Tan, had developed a gambling attitude. , leading to the failure of Dajian, heavy losses, and cerebral blood pressure boost.

Naturally, Yuan Tan did not pursue such things as his little wife's slip of the tongue for a while. After all, after experiencing so many failures, Yuan Tan has enough resistance to these blows that do not directly threaten his life, and even his little wife can't solve the problem.

When Yuan Tan began to think hard and study how to use the square steel furnace to complete the innovation of agricultural tools and reclaim enough fields, Stina suddenly dragged Yuan Tan to the mine a few kilometers outside Sizhao City. To be honest, Yuan Tan was quite irritable when he was dragged away.

It’s just that Stina has been bouncing around, which is more heart-warming. In addition, Yuan Tan also feels that she may indeed be under too much pressure recently. Stina can’t bear to take herself out to slow things down. Na is actually pretty smart, but she doesn't use her brain very much.

Just looking at Stina's handling of Celtic internal affairs, I know that Stina is not ignorant. On the contrary, it should be said that she knows a lot, and it is more about making a choice, and then gradually advancing.

Therefore, Yuan Tan was dragged out by Stina to look at the snow scene in Eastern Europe. Yuan Tan was about to relax, but was dragged to the mine by Stina. He was shocked when he saw the blast furnace in operation.

When the molten steel came out, most of Yuan Tan's original pressure suddenly dissipated. These days, when military nobles are worried, it is mostly because their military strength is not enough, and the most effective way to ensure military strength and relieve pressure is the one in front of them. Big steel furnace too.

This is the same as when steel production directly determined a country's military strength during World War II. A large steel furnace can solve too many problems.

Therefore, Yuan Tan's anger immediately went smoothly. If it was replaced by someone else, Yuan Tan would definitely be rewarded with various rewards at this time, but he could be replaced by Stina. Better.

"Hey hey." Stina looked at the steel furnace and tilted her head. She did have relevant knowledge, but it didn't work at the right time, but it was indeed built.

To some extent, the thing inherited from Celtic mythology called "the wisdom of the magic mirror" itself is an existence that is not effective at all times.

This kind of thing is usually done when one's own side is very relaxed and doesn't care at all, or when one's own side has given up and no longer has hope, and suddenly a big success goes down, and it's done for you, just like now, Yuan Tan and Wen's both He had already given up letting Stina continue, and Stina also gave up, but with a slip of his hand, the inspiration was a great success and it was completed.

This kind of success always gives people a feeling of dumbfounding, but no matter what, this magical ability can really be used to save lives. For example, now, Stina directly emptied the steel reserves of the treasury, and the Yuan family returned to the mother again. , One more five-square steel furnace, many problems will not be a problem.

Of course, the addition of a five-square steel furnace can at most solve the problem at hand. To say that it completely solves the problem of steel demand, to be honest, the Han Dynasty itself can’t solve it. In the industrial age, there is no way to be completely satisfied in a short time.

"Send someone to take over here, rebuild the mine and the road, and make a direct road to Sizhao City." Yuan Tan looked at Stina, who was bouncing around, in a much better mood, and then turned to the side named Si Guard Tina, the attendant who was actually mainly used to move things, greeted.

The location of Sizhao City itself is close to the future Yekaterinburg. As an industrial city, there is not much lack of mines nearby. However, when repairing blast furnaces, they will carefully inspect the local environment and finally choose the best.

Naturally, Stina Xiu's blast furnace was not in a good location as found by a group of professional Feng Shui experts, but this is not important, as long as it is repaired, it will have its own Feng Shui.

Anyway, man-made feng shui, as long as it can suppress the pattern, it is a success, so Yuan Tan didn't care at all that the location of the blast furnace was not right, it was far away from the big mine, as long as it could be built, even if it was built in his own kitchen, to Yuan Tan , is absolutely acceptable.

If not, move, this thing is worth it.

After Yuan Tan returned to Sizhao City, his mood improved a lot, and the depressed house instantly returned to normal, while the chef in the backyard hurriedly prepared all kinds of food for Stina.

Originally, because Stina was always overeating, Wen Shi gave Stina rations most of the time. After all, most of the food was not a necessity for Stina, but a desire for appetite. Na said she slipped her tongue, and Wen knew about it.

But this time is different, Wen Shi even asked the back kitchen to take out the meat containing the essence of heaven and earth stored in the cold storage, as well as the rice and vegetables that were originally prepared to be used during the Chinese New Year, all of which should be taken out in advance. Happy new year to Stina.

"Oh oh oh, there are so many delicious foods, but I didn't even give them to me before." Stina looked at the dishes on the plate, all of which contained the essence of heaven and earth, her eyes lit up.

"It was originally prepared for the Chinese New Year. I was afraid that you would find out. It was secretly hidden in the deepest part of the cold storage." Wen Shi nodded angrily on Stina's forehead. If she didn't hide it better, Stina would eat it all , and there is no good way to be eaten.

Who told Stina to be the concubine of Duke Zhong, what’s wrong with having some food, besides, Stina would go out to hunt some seals, Siberian hamsters, Eastern European bison and other things by herself from time to time, so when Stina mentioned If you ask the back kitchen to make something, the back kitchen will not ask the source.

Naturally, Wenshi hid it very carefully, for fear that Stina would find out and eat them all.

"Hmph, I like Chinese New Year." Stina had a smug expression, and then she was about to reach out her hand, but was stopped by Wen Shi, "It's not ready yet, let's eat together when it's ready, my husband and I probably won't You can only eat two bites, and it's all yours."

When she said this, Wen's expression was a bit complicated. She hid it, and in the end it was prepared for Stina. She and Yuan Tan couldn't eat much of this kind of food, so it was only Stina who could eat this kind of food. Eat it as a meal.

However, after a while, Yuan Tan sent someone back and said that Wen Shi and Stina should just let Wen Shi and Stina eat, and leave him alone. At this time, Yuan Tan was calling Xun Chen, Gao Rou, Xin Pi, Yan Pu, and the new Sima Yi and others came to discuss business.

With the implementation of the new steel furnace, many projects that were originally immature and need to be cut can be brought online again.

As for Xun Chen and Gao Rou, when they heard that the new blast furnace had landed, and it was from Wufang, they made up their minds. Isn’t this year another 2,000 tons of steel?

"I think we need to keep the kitchen knives and iron pan projects that we cut down before. Although the 300,000 iron pans and kitchen knives are a little less, they can indeed greatly solve the living problems of the people, even at low prices. It is also worthwhile to distribute it." Xun Chen immediately suggested.

Because of steel production problems, the kitchen knife and iron pot projects were cut off. Now that there is a new steel stove, Xun Chen picked up this project immediately. This is a proper livelihood project.

Even if 300,000 iron pots and kitchen knives are distributed at a low price, it is not enough to meet the needs of all Eastern European people.

According to Xun Chen's estimation, in Eastern Europe, the demand for iron pans and kitchen knives is at least 120W, both official and non-governmental. To be honest, I can't afford it, so I can only come in batches.

"Iron pots and kitchen knives are put aside first. What we need most here is iron stoves. Clay stoves can't withstand the burning of coal, but iron stoves are the strongest and have the lightest dead weight. An iron stove only needs five kilograms. It’s okay, I need at least one million here, and 200,000 in advance is enough.” Simpi jumped out and said.

What Simpi said is also true. Although there are kangs in Eastern Europe, if you want to continue activities in winter, you must burn a stove indoors. The mining industry in Sizhao City is very developed. Anthracite is not a problem, but the stove is. ah.

Even if it is a clay stove, it can't withstand the environment here, and it will crack due to the temperature difference after burning it. As for the etching technology of the essence of heaven and earth, under the blow of the sky, this thing has become an option again. , What is needed these days is something that can be easily operated. For example, if you gesture to a bear, the bear can hold a basket of anthracite and pour it into the stove or something.

But if there is a problem with the etching of the essence of heaven and earth, you can make two gestures to the bear, and the bear will not be able to operate it.

Therefore, realistically speaking, a fireplace plus a movable iron stove is the most reasonable choice, but in the environment of Eastern Europe, even if it is a fireplace, the hearth must be a cast iron fireplace core to withstand it, otherwise, if it is pure refractory bricks, then the building The cost can only go to the castle.

In other words, no matter which one you choose, at least five kilograms of steel is necessary. Only by adding this five kilograms of steel can the whole house be kept warm, otherwise you can only lie on the kang and nest in the winter. Although the latter is also an improvement, Xun Chen, Xu You, Gao Rou and others need these people to work in winter.

After all, winter and summer in Eastern Europe are half to half, so you can’t stop working for half a year, so you must be able to get off the kang, and you must have heating facilities. Without this, if you don’t want these people to freeze to death, it’s best to use It is more realistic to nest on the kang all winter.

The cold-resistant Slavs are beyond imagination, and some of them froze to death in winter. Even if it is considered from a practical point of view, iron stoves are also necessary.

"No, the demand for your plan is too perverted." After Xin Pi finished speaking, Gao Rou jumped out. Even if only 200,000 iron stoves were produced this year, at five kilograms each, that would be a thousand tons of steel. If you eat half of the output by yourself, what about the others?

More importantly, once this kind of plan is started, it cannot be stopped every year after that, and cast iron stoves must be installed universally for the people.

Otherwise, it would be a problem of not worrying about scarcity but about inequality. Even considering the timing, Xun Chen suggested that when issuing the order, he would tell the people in all regions that this is early installation, early enjoyment, late installation, and discounts. Afraid of affecting people's hearts.

Even if the common people can understand the problem of insufficient steel production, understanding does not mean agreeing.

This Simpi will eat up half of the steel production if he eats it, and he will eat it for five years. Isn't this killing people?

Besides, the average service life of cast iron stoves is calculated in a way against the sky. On average, each one can be used for 20 years. If the one million cast iron stoves go down, there will be an average of 50,000 replacements every year. This is not counting population expansion. This means that even if Xinpi eats up the bulk, he will consume more than one-tenth of the steel output every year during maintenance later on.

The problem is that even if most of the iron stoves are durable, those that can last for 20 years are very rare, which means that in the later period of Simpi’s annual maintenance of this thing, the investment in steel will only be more, not less. It's terrible.

"Then carry out house renovation and process the hearth of the fireplace so that it will last longer." Simpi will never change the plan. Without a stove, the room is warm except on the kang, and other places are cold enough to freeze. Who will go to work? ah.

House renovation is much more troublesome than direct production of cast iron stoves, but in terms of service life and cost, the latter can save some money.

"All the houses have been remodeled, so it's better to use central heating." Gao Rou patted the table directly and said, "At present, the central heating used by Yong's is the most reliable method at present, which not only provides uninterrupted Hot water not only ensures bathing and cleaning in winter, but also ensures that all the people can get warm in winter, and also provides some jobs.”

The Yong family is also in Eastern Europe. Although it is backed by an ice-free port and has a temperate oceanic climate, it is still freezing to death in winter, so the Yong family has built a large number of heating facilities. After testing, the most reliable heating facilities are Central heating with hot water provided by boilers.

Of course, it is not that the Yong family does not have other heating facilities. In fact, the Yong family has built a large number of heating facilities. After comprehensive consideration, it is found that the lowest-level pottery kettle is still reliable for heating hot water.

There is no shortage of fresh water or coal in Xinshifang. People boil water every day. Now the Yong family has even built swimming pools and bathhouses for the large underground palace in winter. Central heating has basically been done.

This can be said to have entered the nineteenth century from around AD in an instant, completely widening the gap with other families.
