Chapter 4114: still not enough

Therefore, although Stina's big failure also hurt Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan has been used to this kind of ups and downs in his life, so this little setback brought by the wife is nothing.
Although it was really heart-wrenching to have a Huayang Smelting Company with a seven-point blast furnace for Chang'an, but because of this, Chen Xi returned a team of professionals, just because he Yuan Tan gave birth to some gambling. , resulting in the failure of major construction, heavy losses, and cerebrovascular boost.
Naturally, Yuan Tan didn't pursue his own concubine's blunders. After all, after so many failures, Yuan Tan has enough resistance to these blows that are not directly life-threatening, and blaming the concubine can't solve the problem.
When Yuan Tan began to think hard and researched how to use the square steel furnace to complete the innovation of agricultural tools, and then reclaimed enough fields, Stina suddenly dragged Yuan Tan to the mine a few kilometers outside the city of Sizhao. , To be honest, Yuan Tan was rather irritable when he was dragged away.
It's just that Stina has been bouncing around all the time, which is warmer. Besides, Yuan Tan also feels that she may have been under too much pressure recently. Stina can't bear to take herself out slowly or something. After all, Yuan Tan also knows that Stina Na is actually quite smart, but she doesn't use her brain very much.
Just looking at Stina's handling of Celtic's internal affairs, in fact, she knew that Stina did not understand, on the contrary, it should be said that she knew a lot, more choices were made, and then gradually advanced.
Therefore, when Stina was dragged out to look at the snow scene in Eastern Europe, Yuan Tan was about to relax, but was dragged to the mine by Stina, and she was shocked when she 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 aristocrats are worried, most of the time it is because their military strength is not enough. Big steel furnace.
This is just like in World War II, when steel production directly determines a country's military strength, a large steel furnace can solve too many problems.
Therefore, Yuan Tan's anger instantly calmed down. If it was someone else, Yuan Tan would definitely be a reward at this time, but it could be replaced by Stina. This is his concubine. You don't need to come here. You should think about what you want to eat. Better.
"Hey hey." Stina tilted her head while looking at the steel furnace. She did have relevant knowledge, but sometimes it didn't work, but it was indeed built.
To a certain extent, the thing called "wisdom of the magic mirror" inherited from Celtic mythology is itself an existence that is sometimes inactive.
This kind of thing is usually very relaxed on one's own side and doesn't care at all, or when one's own side has given up and no longer holds out hope, suddenly a big success goes down and it is sorted out for you, just like now, Yuan Tan and Wen Shi are both It has been given up to let Stina continue, and Stina has also given up, but with a slip of the hand, the inspiration is a great success, and it is completed.
This kind of success always gives people a feeling of crying and laughing, but in any case, this magical ability can really be used to save lives. For example, now, Stina directly emptied the Yuan family's steel reserves in the treasury, and gave milk back. , One more five-sided steel furnace, many problems are not problems.
Of course, the addition of a five-sided steel furnace can at most solve the problem at hand. To say that the problem of steel demand is completely solved, to be honest, the Han Dynasty itself cannot solve it. The demand for things like steel, even if it is to enter In the industrial age, there is no way to be completely satisfied in a short time.
"Send someone to take over this place, rebuild the mine and road, and lead to a direct road to Sizhao City." Yuan Tan saw Stina, who was jumping, in a much better mood, and then turned to the side named Si Zhao. Tina's escort, the attendant who actually mainly used to carry things, greeted.
The location of Si Zhao City itself is close to Yekaterinburg in later generations. As an industrial city, there is not much shortage of mines nearby, but when building blast furnaces, the local environment will be carefully examined, and the best will be selected in the end.
Stinaxiu's blast furnace is naturally not in a good location that a group of professional Feng Shui experts found, but this is not important, as long as it is repaired, it will bring its own Feng Shui.
Anyway, man-made feng shui, as long as the pattern can be suppressed, it will be successful, so Yuan Tan doesn't care that the location of the blast furnace is not right, it is far from the big mine or something, as long as it can be built, even if it is built in his own kitchen, for Yuan Tan , is absolutely acceptable.
Move if it doesn't work, it's worth it.
After Yuan Tan returned to Sizhao City, his mood was much better, and the depressed house returned to normal in an instant, while the chef in the backyard hurriedly prepared various meals for Stina.
Originally, because Stina was always overeating, Wen Shi gave Stina rations most of the time. After all, most of the food for Stina is not a necessity, but a craving for the appetite. Na missed her mouth, only Wen Shi knew.
But this time is different. Wen Shi even asked the back kitchen to take out the meat containing the essence of heaven and earth in the cold storage, as well as the rice and vegetables that were originally prepared for the Chinese New Year, and take them out in advance. Happy New Year to Stina.
"Oh, oh, there are so many delicious foods, but I didn't eat them before." Stina looked at the dishes that were served, all of which contained the essence of heaven and earth, and her eyes lit up.
"It was originally prepared for the Chinese New Year. I'm afraid you will find out. They are all secretly hidden in the deepest part of the cold storage." Wen Shi nodded angrily on Stina's forehead. , and there is no good way to be eaten.
Who made Stina the concubine of the Duke of Zhongguo, why don't you eat some food? Besides, Stina will go out to hunt seals, Siberian hamsters, Eastern European bison and other things from time to time, so when Stina mentions If you let the chef make something, the chef will not ask the source.
Naturally, Wen Shi hid it very carefully, for fear of being discovered by Stina and then eating them all.
"Hum hum hum, I like Chinese New Year." Stina had a smug expression, and then she was about to reach out, but was stopped by Wen Shi, "It hasn't been served yet, let's have dinner together, my husband and I probably will I can only eat two bites, it's all yours."
When he said this, Wen's expression was a little complicated. He hid it. In the end, it was also prepared for Stina. She and Yuan Tan could not eat much of this kind of food, so they could hold on. Eat as a meal.
However, after a while, Yuan Tan sent someone back and said that it was enough for Wen and Stina to have dinner. Don't worry about him. At this time, Yuan Tan was calling Xun Chen, Gao Rou, Xin Pi, Yan Pu, and Xinlai. Sima Yi and others came to discuss the business.
After thinking hard before, there is no way to solve the problem. With the landing of the new steel furnace, it was not mature enough, and many projects that need to be cut off can be launched again.
As for Xun Chen and Gao Rou, as soon as they heard that the new blast furnace had landed, and it was from Wufang, they figured out that it would be another 2,000 tons of steel this year.
"I think the kitchen knives and iron pot items we cut off before still need to be retained. Although 300,000 iron pots and kitchen knives are a little less, they can indeed greatly solve the living problems of the people, even at low prices. It's worth giving out." Xun Chen immediately suggested.
Previously, the kitchen knife and iron pot projects were cut off due to the problem of steel production. Now that there is a new steel furnace, Xun Chen picked up this project as soon as possible. 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 Europeans.
According to Xun Chen’s estimate, the demand for iron pots and kitchen knives in Eastern Europe, both the official and the private sector, is at least 120W. Even if it is a gadget that weighs two kilograms together, it will be 2,400 tons. To be honest, I can't afford it, so I can only come in batches.
"Leave the iron pot and kitchen knife aside first. What we need most here is the iron stove. The clay stove can't stand the burning of coal at all, and the iron stove is the strongest and the lightest dead weight. An iron stove only needs five kilograms. That's alright, I need at least 1 million here, and 200,000 is enough in the early stage." Xin Pi jumped out and said.
What Xin Pi said is also true. Although there are such things as kangs in Eastern Europe, if you want to continue activities in winter, you must have a stove indoors. The mining industry in Sizhao City is very developed. Anthracite is not a problem, but the stove is the problem. what.
Even a clay stove can't stand the environment here. It will crack due to the temperature difference when it is burned. As for the etching technology of heaven and earth, this thing has become an alternative under a wave of changes in the sky. , what is needed these days is something that can be easily operated. For example, if you give a bear a gesture, 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 heaven and earth, if you give the bear two gestures, the bear will not operate it.
Therefore, realistically speaking, a fireplace with a movable iron stove is the most reasonable choice, but in the environment in Eastern Europe, even if it is a fireplace, the hearth must be a cast iron fireplace core to withstand, otherwise, if it is purely 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 these five kilograms of steel can the whole house be kept hot, otherwise you will have to lie on the kang for winter. Although the latter is also a kind of progress, Xun Chen, Xu You, Gao Rou and others need this group of people to work even in winter.
After all, winter and summer in Eastern Europe are half and 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 this group of people to freeze to death, it’s best to It is more realistic to stay on the kang all winter.
The cold-resistant Slavs are somewhat beyond imagination, and they freeze to death in winter. Even if it is considered from a practical point of view, an iron stove is 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 furnaces were produced this year, according to each five kilograms, that would be 1,000 tons of steel. You eat half of the output by yourself, what about the others.
What's more important is that once this kind of plan is started, it cannot be stopped every year after that. It is necessary to install cast iron stoves for the common people.
Otherwise, it would be a problem of not suffering from the few but suffering from the unevenness. Even considering the timing, Xun Chen suggested that when issuing orders, people in various regions should be told that it is early installation, early enjoyment, late installation, and there are discounts. I'm afraid it will affect people's hearts.
Even if the common people can understand the problem of insufficient steel production, understanding does not mean approval.
This Xin Pi will eat one-half of the steel output and eat it for five consecutive years. Isn't this life-threatening?
Besides, the average service life of cast iron furnaces is calculated according to a relatively anti-sky method. Each one can be used for 20 years on average. If one million cast iron furnaces 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 a lot of head, during the maintenance later, it will eat more than one tenth of the steel output every year.
The problem is that even if most of the iron stoves are durable, they are very rare to last for 20 years. This means that in the later period of Xinpi, just maintaining this thing every year will only require more steel, not less. Too deadly.
"Then carry out house renovation and process the hearth of the fireplace, so that the service life will be longer." Xin Pi will never change his plan. If there is no stove, the room is warm except on the kang, and other places can freeze when it is cold. Who will go to work? what.
House renovation is a lot more troublesome than direct production of cast iron stoves, but in terms of service life and cost, the latter can be relatively less expensive.
"The house has been renovated, so it's better to forget about central heating." Gao Rou directly patted the table and said, "At present, the central heating used by Yong's is the most reliable method at present, which not only provides uninterrupted heating Hot water ensures bathing and cleaning in winter, ensures that all people can be heated in winter, and also provides some jobs.

The Yong family is also on the Eastern European side. Although it is backed by a non-frozen port and has a temperate oceanic climate, it is still freezing to death in winter. Therefore, the Yong family has built a large number of heating facilities. After testing, the most reliable heating facilities are still Central heating of hot water is provided by a boiler.
Of course, the Yong family is not without other thermal facilities. In fact, the Yong family has built a large number of heating facilities. Finally, after comprehensive consideration, it is found that the lowest-level pottery kettle is reliable for heating hot water.
There is no shortage of fresh water and coal in Xinshifang, and people boil water every day. Now, when the Yong family is in winter, they even built a swimming pool and a bathhouse for the large underground palace. Central heating has been basically completed.
This can be said to have entered the nineteenth century from after BC in an instant, and completely opened the gap with other families.
