Chapter 511: Ironworks (4)

Lin Ze made a bracket directly on the top of the iron stove. A large round roller was hung in the middle of the bracket. There were three wrought iron sticks extending diagonally toward the hearth of the iron stove. The large round roller Behind the waterwheel is connected, let the waterwheel to provide power. ??Ranwen?. rane
Once there is a need to stir iron, directly release the brake and start the waterwheel.
Once you have the right steel you need, just close the upstream sluice.
In this way, not only can the safety of personnel be ensured, but also the efficiency of iron frying and the quality of steel are extremely high.
In the past, pig iron was cooled into ingots and then heated to smelt mature iron or steel. Lin Ze’s current technology is to fry the mature iron or steel directly from the blast furnace. This method of iron making is the first time it appeared in Shenzhou. Above the mainland.
With wrought iron, you can directly make farm tools such as hoe, shovel, etc. Of course, the production process requires forging, carburizing and quenching.
This is because wrought iron is very soft, strong forgeability, and excellent processing performance.
Since Linze used iron in the iron-fired furnace, Linze would certainly not forget that he used the power to forge weapons or other things.
Manpower is indeed much worse than hydraulic power, so Lin Ze built another 15 forging furnaces lined up near the Xisha River.
The basic structure of the forging furnace is very simple, and it can be made by ordinary blacksmiths. In fact, this thing is no different from the forging furnaces in all the rural areas, or the costume pieces on the TV, and the blacksmith repair shops that appear.
It is an iron forging station, but the iron forging station of the forging furnace used in hydraulics should be enlarged and thickened.
The enlargement is for forging large iron parts, and the thickening is for heat preservation. After all, it takes a long time to use, so as to save fuel.
Next to each forging furnace, there is a hydraulic forging hammer. Under the forging hammer is a thick anvil, under which is a thick oak column, and underneath is a unique black gold stone base above Blackstone Mountain.
In this way, the multi-layer composite structure can withstand the huge impact of the forging hammer.
The ruggedness of black stone is stronger than that of modern high-end cement, so there is no need to worry about the quality of the base.
In these forging furnaces, some are large and some are small.
The weight of a large forging hammer is about three hundred pounds, with a stroke of three feet, and the weight is dropped 50 times per minute; the small one has a weight of ten pounds, with a stroke of two feet, and a weight of 150 times per minute.
The big forging hammer is used for rough machining, and the small forging hammer is actually not very precise. After all, there is no modern facility here. It can only be done manually. It is still a hammer knock, so the fine inside The degree is conceivable.
In the final analysis, the processing technology of the hydraulic forging hammer is essentially the same as that of the blacksmiths, but the efficiency is improved a lot!
..........................................
Blast furnaces, blowers, hydraulic forging hammers, iron-fired furnaces, pulley sets... etc., these things are thoroughly understood by the iron-making masters Shen Shen and Gao Yan.
If the blast furnace and the blower are something, Shen Lian and Gao Yan can still understand some things. However, the improvement of the steelmaking method and the power of the hydraulic facilities behind them finally made them completely unrecognizable.
For example, Lin Ze fired a lot of large clay pots with high-alumina clay. Both Gao Yan and Shen Lian have seen some brick kilns before. They have also worked in such kilns before. of.
Therefore, when Lin Ze was preparing to make iron roasting furnace made of high-alumina clay, Shen Lian and Gao Yan took over directly.
They first crushed the high-alumina clay, then added water and sieved it into fine mud, and then formed it by hand on a fast-rotating wooden disk like a plastic tire, and finally burned it in a special high-temperature kiln for ten hours. "Clay pot" made of aluminum clay, that is, the iron stove is freshly baked.
The previous refractory brick sinking and Gao Yan knew very well, but they didn't understand so many terracotta pots of this size.
What is the use of Lin Ze to make these ‘earth pots’? Can they be used to make steel? If this is really the case, then it's not like cooking? !
However, after Lin Ze's explanation and personal experimentation, Shen Lian and Gao Yan were completely convinced. They didn't think that they could actually point out the refined iron, that is, steel.
Next, the role of the hydraulic forging hammer directly shocked the people like Shen Lian and Gao Yan. They stared at Lin Ze with conviction and fanaticism.
As an iron smelter, what could be better than following Lin Ze, a master who can continuously bring out, extremely magical and effective iron smelting means!
It is from this moment on that Lin Ze is in the hearts of Shen Lian and Gao Yan, the existence of the craftsman!
In this way, in the fanatical eyes of Shen Lian and Gao Yan, the blast furnace, waterwheel, iron stove, workers' dormitory, and cooling tower were all built, and the road from the ironworks to the pipeline was built, and Lin Ze also built a gate at the main gate of the ironworks.
It says "The First Iron Works of Huangsha Town"!
.................................................. .........
Ten days later, the iron plant has been initially established, and the iron ore and iron charcoal required for iron making have been prepared. Therefore, Lin Ze is ready to start the first steelmaking at the iron plant today. .
Because it was the first time the ironmaking plant had been fired, Lin Ze came in person, and Lin Ze's confidants like Wang Ming and Qiu Kai came.
When it is so important for the ironworks to be opened, Wang Ming and them, as Lin Ze's confidants, are of course coming.
At nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Ze and they had already arrived at the ironworks. At this time, it was time to ignite iron!
"Gao Yan, let's get started!" Lin Ze said to Gao Yan with a trace of excitement on his face.
This is Lin Ze’s first iron plant, but it will definitely not be the last. In the future, there will be countless iron plants built.
With these ironworks, Lin Ze will be rampant in the future!
"Yes, sir!" Gao Yan replied equally excitedly, and then he turned to prepare to give orders.
"Senior has orders, start iron making!" Gao Yan shouted loudly.
Then, I saw the following workers methodically started iron making.
These workers were able to do this in an orderly manner because they had simulated the drills many times in accordance with the relevant iron-smelting operation rules formulated by Lin Ze these days. It can be said that such procedures have been deeply embedded in their In their minds, so that they can proceed in such an orderly way, the kind of process in the middle is not at all in a hurry.
The first blast furnace, which had been baked at low temperature for eight days before, after careful inspection, there was no suspicious crack in the blast furnace.
Of course, the middle Lin Ze also personally inspected it mentally, there is indeed no cracks, the quality of this blast furnace is excellent.
The movable parts such as the pulley block, the flywheel, the bearing of the waterwheel, the pulley, the piston bellows, etc. are also extremely excellent. I have simulated the drill several times before, and the situation is very good each time. Now Shen Lian they directly give these parts. With enough lubricating oil, there is no obstruction during operation.
"Grandpa Grandpa bless, smelting stone into iron, ironing into steel, Grandpa blessing...!" I saw Shen Lian twisted three notes of incense in his hands, lit it on the candle, raised his head religiously, and worshipped for three weeks, then Insert it into an incense burner that was set before.
The mainland of China is a feudal society, so the people here are very feudal. Before doing some big things, they will pray to the sky to make things go smoothly.
If before, Lin Ze hadn’t got the Plane Seed World, Lin Ze would be very disdainful about the feudal activities like refining them, but after Lin Ze got the Plane Seed World, he clearly knew that the world There are really fairies, demons, and souls on it. Lin Zexin no longer objected to the feudal activities like refining them.
After having the Plane Seed, he must be a or immortal in the future, and now Lin Ze would deny his feudal activities by denying them.
Of course, Lin Ze would not oppose Shen Lian after their feudal activities, but when Shen Lian began to worship God, he did not participate in the worship.
In the future, he is the God. The God outside does not yet have the qualification to let him visit.
Therefore, when Shen Lian and Gao Yan paid a visit to God, Lin Ze watched the whole process with great interest directly on the side.
When Shen Lian and Gao Yan's set of ceremonies was over, Gao Yan took the pine resin torch ~EbookFREE.me~ and handed it to Lin Ze.
"Sir, this first fire, let's light it up!"
"Oh, then I'm respectful and obedient!" Lin Ze took the torch with a smile, and then threw it into the blast furnace directly from the iron outlet at the bottom.
"Boom...!" Lin Ze just threw the torch into the combustion chamber of the blast furnace, and the combustion chamber started to burn violently. (It has been preheated before, and the ignition point has already reached the ignition point in the combustion chamber. Now Lin Ze’s torch was thrown in, and of course the charcoal in the combustion chamber was directly lit.
The combustion in the combustion chamber was extremely violent. Soon, Lin Ze and they saw that the blue smoke in the blast furnace rolled out from the mouth of the combustion chamber. Gao Yan had been lying outside the observation port of the combustion chamber. He squinted Looking at it with his eyes, he said to Lin Ze aloud, "Master, it's burning very well!"
Having said that, Gao Yan closed the valve directly.
"Very good!" Lin Ze said with a smile.
The burning in the combustion chamber is a good start! (...)
