Three Kingdoms

coal.

Undoubtedly the founder of the industry of later generations, or the guide?

The earliest large-scale utilization of coal in China should have been before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, or even earlier, but the use of coal for metallurgy began in the Han Dynasty.

The mining of ores, including the production technology of black minerals such as coal, was relatively mature in the early Han Dynasty. Large-scale mining tunnels and the use of mines were already considered top-notch in the world. However, due to the demand of gentry for charcoal, It is relatively large and looks down upon coal, so for a long time it did not pay much attention to coal, let alone demand for pure coal.

Now……

Coal is needed for heating, and coal is also needed for metallurgy. The demand for coal in the Huqi territory has suddenly increased a lot. In addition, with the cold weather now, the demand for coal from ordinary people has also increased sharply. This Feiqian had to consider improving the original coking coal refining process.

In the past, coking coal was refined using the most crude and stupid method, which was similar to burning charcoal. The coal was first piled up in a semi-enclosed space, then ignited with firewood, and then allowed to burn in an environment lacking oxygen. Burn slowly and let all the smoke and impurities in the coal fly away from the chimney. When the smoke no longer comes out of the chimney, pour water in...

Finally, coking coal is obtained.

This method can be used, but it is very wasteful. Most of the coal will be burned during the process, and the remaining coking coal may only be about 30% of its original weight, or even none.

Therefore, using this method to obtain coking coal specifically for steelmaking is indeed quite costly.

At the same time, in the process of steelmaking, if molten steel cannot be continuously produced, the coking coal invested will often be wasted. In other words, due to the discontinuity in the production of molten steel, part of the heat energy from the burning of coking coal will not be used at all, and it will be in vain. It was just burned.

When there was a lot of coal, these problems were not serious, but now the amount of coal is large, and some miners in Luliang Mountain have to stop their field operations because of the cold weather...

What?

High temperatures in mines?

There is nothing wrong with this, but Feiqian's mining technology is not like that of later generations, which can easily dig a mine several hundred meters deep. Generally speaking, it is still a surface mine development.

Therefore, output has decreased and demand has increased. Although there is still inventory, we cannot wait until the storage is exhausted before we consider the issue of raw materials consumed in the production of coking coal, as well as the efficiency issue when using coking coal. We must first take the lead and carry out Certain process improvements.

The task of improving this process naturally fell to the newly appointed "Grand Examination Engineer" Huang Chengyan.

Of course it was difficult for Huang Chengyan to think about these things, so he summoned several big craftsmen to discuss it together. This was also the habit of Huang Chengyan's craftsmen. After all, one's thinking is always somewhat limited...

But coking coal itself was already developed by Fei Qian ahead of time. Now it is undoubtedly a very difficult thing to go further. Therefore, Huang Chengyan has been a little distracted these days, which makes Huang Yueying extremely worried. , thinking there was something big wrong, but it turned out that Huang Chengyan had no physical problem, it was just because of the craftsmanship...

Huang Yueying was immediately furious!

Thinking about it, it’s no wonder that his son was about to go to Yinshan Mountain to suffer hardship after being tortured by Fei Qian, and then his father was now being tortured by Fei Qian and didn’t even think about food and tea...

Whose fault?

Who else could be at fault?

The more Huang Yueying thought about it, the angrier she became, and she found Fei Qian angrily.

Fei Qian was a little confused at first, but after understanding what happened, he couldn't help laughing.

"Come on, sit down first, sit down first, sit down and then talk..." Fei Qian greeted, "Do you think I am torturing you?" Haha, no...this has nothing to do with tossing..."

"Listen to me first..." Fei Qian said with a smile, "...Qi Daxong." Qian Ao waited for food on the road, waiting for the hungry to eat... If there were hungry people, they would cover up their clothes and come rashly. Qian Ao was serving food on his left and drinking on his right, and said, "Hey!" Come and eat! Hmm... Yueying, you should know this? 』

Huang Yueying snorted, "I don't want to eat the food I came to, so that's how bad it is!" 』

Fei Qian nodded and said, "That's right. So...why don't the hungry eat it? Isn’t it just to come and eat? Eventually he will die without food. When Zengzi heard about it, he also sighed, "If you sigh, you can go away, and if you give thanks, you can eat." Yueying thought, what should a hungry person eat at this time? 』

Huang Yueying frowned and fell silent.

Huang Yueying is naturally aware of this matter. After all, Huang Yueying herself is considered to be from a noble family. Although it is not as good as Cai Yan's library... Well, okay, not everyone can compare with the library, but some basic spring and autumn works like this I still know some of the allusions.

Come eat, the hungry man in the allusion chooses to starve to death rather than eat. This is an attitude. Another attitude is like Zengzi who said that if it is "sigh", it is not acceptable, but if it is "thank you", it can also be eaten.

As for there is another kind, it is the famous attitude of later generations...

In fact, Huang Yueying didn't understand what Fei Qian said. It was like Fei Qian said that he wanted Fei Zhen to take a trip in the military. Although Huang Yueying felt distressed, she agreed, but sometimes her emotions got the best of her. , it is inevitable that you cannot control it.

For ordinary people, no matter which attitude they choose, the problem is actually not too big, but it is different for leaders...

Fei Qian's status was established in the army during the Southern and Northern Wars. Even now that Fei Qian is no longer on the front line commanding operations, as long as Fei Qian talks about military strategy, Fei Qian's words will be followed by others. Don't dare to say anything!

This is the strength Fei Qian showed in previous battles, and the prestige he accumulated bit by bit. However, whether it is Fei Zhen or Huang Chengyan, apart from their closer relationship with Fei Qian, have they shown any special strength in Fei Qian's political group?

"Therefore, my father-in-law does not think about food and tea. This is the right path!" ” Fei Qian said with a smile, “If my father-in-law only occupies a high position and is able to do everything he wants, but if he is in trouble, he just shirks it... Then how can others respect him? As the saying goes, knowing the difficulties and... well, there is a saying that is right, if you want to wear a crown, you must first bear its weight..."

Huang Yueying sighed softly, then bowed to Fei Qian and expressed her apology, "Mr. Lang... I am in a hurry, so I am very offended..."

Fei Qian stepped forward and helped Huang Yueying up and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... When my father-in-law was in Jingxiang, he once told a certain person that he boasted of being a plain, painted, decorated, made, copper, painted, buttoned, painted, and craftsman. , Qing, You, Kao, Ye, Tong and other construction methods are all omnipotent and perfect... Now, hehehehe..."

Huang Yueying couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Fei Qian, and then sighed and said, "Lang Jun knows it well... My father is a bit older after all..."

Fei Qian chuckled twice, "Don't worry, if my father-in-law really can't think of it...then I'll pretend to reveal it unintentionally..."

"Um? (﹁﹁)~" Huang Yueying put her hands on her hips angrily and said, "Could it be that Mr. Lang has a wonderful idea for a long time, but he is here to watch my father's jokes? ! 』

"without! No such thing! ” Fei Qian immediately denied, “I just said that we can discuss it together at that time. Well, we will discuss it!” 』

……o(TT)o……

Youbei Desert.

Another group of people who didn't want to eat the food gathered together...

The horn of advancement finally sounded. Kirby's troops began to move slowly, speeding up little by little, and the sound of horse hooves gradually became denser from sparse.

In Kirby's central army, the messengers were like a flock of birds flying out of the tree nest, fluttering and passing instructions outwards, while the buglers were also preaching with all their strength, passing on the latest instructions. to distant places.

Liu He finally realized that something was wrong. It was like watching a beautiful woman's live broadcast, and then suddenly the other person's phone lost power and turned off the beauty and falsetto software...

Reality is always so ugly, there is no so-called beauty at all, only the hard and smelly thing is left, directly in front of the face, shattering all the dreams.

"Ready to fight! ” Nanlou was the first to shout loudly, and then drew out his sword. As for going to Liu He to reason about why this happened, why Liu He made mistakes in judgment, and who should bear the responsibility, etc., we can only wait until the battle is over before we have time...

After all, reality is not like movies and TV shows. On the battlefield, when two sides are fighting bloody battles, especially in the era of hot weapons, there is still time to stand in front of the battle, babble a lot, express a lot of emotion, and then The surrounding soldiers could shed tears along with them. Isn't it possible that only a mentally retarded director could have filmed this?

Forget about cheating money, but also insult the intelligence of the viewers?

Nanlou raised the sword in his hand and shouted loudly: "Speed ​​up!" accelerate! Come forward! ’ Actually, Wuhuan people may not all understand the so-called array, but they do know one thing. If there are many people, they can bully the few. They can surround them and beat them, and that’s it.

The sound of horns sounded one after another, and the sound of horse hooves rolled like thunder.

Of course, if Kirby could trick Liu He and others into his camp, then things would be simple. But the problem is that Kirby and the Xianbei people have lost such qualifications now. Therefore, once the two armies actually sit down to meet, Kirby must be deeply involved in the opponent's military camp, so Kirby will choose to make a surprise attack before the battle.

Although the Wuhuan people were somewhat caught off guard, they had the advantage in numbers and were not afraid. The horses on both sides suddenly accelerated, and countless horse hooves hit the remaining snow. Mud, snow, and water splashed everywhere, and the whole land seemed to They were all trembling.

Kirby Neng's troops, with Kirby Neng as the center, were like an awl and a murderous sword, piercing directly into the Wuhuan array and towards Liu He's position. Come!

Liu He seemed to have been stabbed by this invisible sword, with a look of extreme pain on his face.

Liu He originally thought that Kirby would lie down in front of him like a dog, and then Liu He could throw in one or two pieces of meat and a few bones to make Kirby spin around and bite anyone he asked. He was going to bite someone, but he didn't expect that Kirby could actually bite Liu and himself when they saw each other...

More importantly, Kirby not only disrupted Liu He's original plan, but also seriously affected Liu He's reputation among the Wuhuan people!

Can a leader who cannot clearly see his opponents and discern trends still be considered a competent leader? If a leader is incompetent, even the Han people may not be able to abide by the rules, let alone the Wuhuan people?

Liu He pulled out his sword and roared with all his strength: "Kill!" Kill Kirby! 』

Wuhuan Wanglouban stood far away, watching Liu He roaring wildly, then shook his head, sighed, and said to the guard beside him: "It's over... Liu Shijun... Haha, It's over... If he rushes forward with his men now and kills Kirby Neng in one breath, then he can still save some dignity... Now he is just standing on the edge of the battlefield and shouting... What is it like? Like a helpless wild dog that can only bark from a distance..."

"Then... Your Majesty, what should we do now?" ” Wuhuan’s guard asked.

"Let's have a hand first...see the situation..." Lou Ban said, "If it doesn't work, we will withdraw..."

"withdraw? 』

"That's right, it's not us who are embarrassed anyway... but..." Lou Ban raised his chin slightly, and then looked in the direction of Liu He, "When the time comes we... haha..."

If the wolves in the desert know that the wolf king has declined, is old, and incompetent, a new wolf will stand up and challenge the wolf king, even if the wolf that comes to challenge was so weak before. Meek and obedient…

Now, Liu He is the wolf who shows his incompetence.

In the battlefield, after being baptized by arrows, the Xianbei and Wuhuan people hugged each other lovingly, using their most primitive emotions and the most majestic roars to express their most cordial greetings to each other. .

At the moment of contact, at least hundreds of soldiers from both sides fell down entangled with each other, their flesh and blood blending together. Even when they took their last breath, they held their own handles and tried their best to stab each other's vital points, and then In the blink of an eye, they were trampled by the following cavalry and became indistinguishable flesh.

Kirby was able to round up the tomahawk, roaring like a black bear, facing the spear that was coming straight, roaring, and slashing down! The spear broke in response, and the Wuhuan soldier holding the spear was also chopped into splits by the battle axe. He flew upside down on the horse, then bumped into other men and horses, and fell together with the muffled sound of fractures. land.

In any case, Kirby can be regarded as the king of the Xianbei people, and he is still qualified in terms of martial arts. Especially when Kirby can face opponents of the same level, the comparison in strength takes advantage. Under the leadership of Kirbineng, the Xianbei people charged forward crazily, like a group of wolves that had seen blood, roaring, roaring, tearing, and killing the Wuhuan soldiers.

Kirby was able to lean over and chop to death a Wuhuan man who was about to chop his horse, and then leaned forward to chop off half of the body of the Wuhuan cavalryman on the left. The blood spewed out by countless people had already killed Kirby. Most of their bodies were dyed red, and the power of inner desire that burst out in desperate situations made the Xianbei people's fighting power almost crazy.

The Wuhuan people were not to be outdone. Although no one could withstand Kirby Neng's battle axe, they still attacked the bears like a pack of wolves, pounced on them, bit them, stretched out their sharp claws and tore at them desperately. Just to tear off one more piece of bear flesh...

Kirby was able to rush into the depths of the Wuhuan people, releasing all his depression. He would let out huge roars from time to time. The battle ax in his hand had been stained by flesh and blood and turned into a bright red color. He would die immediately if he touched it. Death. Kebineng's guards and other Xianbei people followed Kebineng closely, fighting together on his left and right. Kirby's tall and strong body is the battle flag of the Xianbei people, guiding the direction of the Xianbei people.

On the side of the battlefield, Wuhuan Wang Louban frowned and said: "Kirby is really like a giant bear... he can be regarded as a truly good opponent..."

"Your Majesty, are we going to support King Youxian?" 』

Lou Ban chuckled twice, "King Youxian, did King Youxian send a signal for help?" 』

"This... doesn't seem to be..."

Lou Ban just smiled and said: "It seems that our King Youxian is still very confident... We go up, I'm afraid King Youxian will be unhappy..."

In the battlefield, people grow the fastest.

Wuhuan King Louban is no longer the young boy who was only interested in women. He is no longer satisfied with living outside the Fifth Ring Road...well, outside the core of Wuhuan. He wants to become the real King of Wuhuan, and on the right The Wise King's Tower is also a cornerstone that he needs to step over and step on.

Although Youxian King Nanlou has not shown any rebellious intentions, some of his men have spoken out and refused to obey the orders of the tribe directly under Wuhuan King Nanlou. Could this be the case? The instruction of Youxian Wang Nanlou?

Wuhuan Wang Louban didn't know, and he didn't think it was necessary to know.

But you can’t help but be on guard!

You should always eat your own food. What others feed to your mouth may not be what you want to eat.

The hot food may not always be fragrant, it may still be a piece of shit.

Kirby Neng roared and waved his battle ax like an enraged bear. He saw Liu He, he also saw the tricolor flag behind Liu He, and saw the most hated and regretful nightmare in his life! He will never forget that moment in his life. The tricolor flag and the young general under the tricolor flag brought him unforgettable pain and equally unforgettable hatred.

But now, Kirby is ready to express all his pain and hatred to the tricolor flag and to the Han Chinese under the tricolor flag!

Liu He didn't have the courage to face Kirby Neng directly. He yelled for a long time and felt that it was more appropriate for him to be in the command position. However, when he saw that such a large group of Wuhuan people could not block Kirby Neng, he couldn't help but panic. , turned around and shouted, "Let the Wuhuan people come forward and stop him!" 』

Liu He's horn sounded, but Wuhuan Wanglouban on the edge of the battlefield seemed not to hear it and remained motionless!

"Repost again..."

Before Liu He could finish his words, he saw a scout coming from behind with a look of panic on his horse. His screams seemed to penetrate the chaos on the battlefield!

"Enemy attack!" The enemy…attacked…』

The next moment, the faces of Liu He and Wuhuan Wanglouban turned pale almost at the same time!
