Chapter 507: railway

"Sir, such a test is very easy to fail. Once it fails, it will often make the better quality pig iron also become a waste product, and the price of those pig irons is not low. With our ability, we can't afford such consumption. ,and so."
Shen Lian didn't go on, but Lin Ze knew the meaning of Shen Lian's words unfinished.
Shen Lian did not want to experiment with smelting pig iron into steel, but they simply could not afford such consumption.
Shen Lian They were not born of official eunuchs. They were just the lowest civilians. For them, being able to feed and feed a family is the greatest achievement. They didn't collect much money at all.
And how to test pig iron into steel, the money required is definitely not a small amount. In the capacity of refining the birth of their civilians, where can they afford such consumption, so even if Shen Lian wants to test it in his heart Pig iron is made into steel, but in front of the home plan, Shen Lian only suppressed this idea.
If a family can't even satisfy food and clothing, where else would you think about making pig iron into steel?
Lin Ze smiled and said: "This is also true, the cost of doing experiments is really not what you can afford. However, it is different now. I can support you to make steel. You can build a small furnace. Try it first. Well!" Lin Ze encouraged.
Then, Lin Ze said: "Shen smelting, I seem to have heard of a method of frying steel, which is to stir continuously during the smelting process, like cooking, it seems that it is easier to get steel, oh, that is what you said Your fine iron, Shen Lian, you can try it!"
"Stir-fried steel method?" After Shen Lian heard the words, he was confused.
"Well, that's it." Lin Ze began to make a gesture. "You add the charcoal powder first, and then like the cooking, you turn the hot metal over and over. Of course, how to add charcoal powder, how much charcoal powder, There is also temperature control, and when to add toner, I don’t know, it needs you to experiment carefully."
After listening to Lin Ze’s specific explanation, Shen Lian directly opened his eyes and asked, "Adult, how do you know the method of ironmaking? Or is it the unprecedented method of ironmaking?"
Lin Ze smiled slightly and said, "Shen Lian, my method is also heard by others. What the specific situation is, you need to try it yourself. Well, you can get ten directly. Twenty small steel-making furnaces were tested, which was faster. As for money, there was no problem at all."
"Thank you, sir, the sir must give you smelt point out the true iron!" Shen Lian said excitedly, even kneeling down, and thanking Lin Ze.
For an iron smelter, what could be better than trying out the steel making method in person!
"Shen Lian, get up!" Lin Ze smiled and raised his right hand, a burst of real energy directly helped Shen Lian up.
"Shen Lian, if you really test it out, I will add an iron hammer to your chest and directly promote you to the person in charge of steel making. The official product is also an eight-product official, how?"
"Baipinguan!" Shen Lian heard this, and she was excited in her heart.
No matter whether it is a Chinese or a person on the mainland of Shenzhou, there are more or less official-oriented thoughts in the heart, and Shen Lian also has this kind of thinking in the heart.
When I saw Qiu Tie becoming an official of Bapin, Shen Lian's heart was full of envy and jealousy. At that time, Shen Lian also thought in his heart that he should be an official.
Now Shen Lian's opportunity is coming, it is strange that he is not excited!
"Thank you for your grace, Shen Lian will definitely test out the method of refining iron. Thank you for your grace!" Shen Lian knelt down again excitedly and knocked Xie Linze.
"Well, I'm waiting for your good news!" Lin Ze looked at Shen Lian in front of him with a smile, looking forward to it.
In fact, in the steelmaking data collected by Linze, there are specific temperature and the proportion of carbon powder, but there is no special thermometer in Linze's hand that can measure the temperature of the steelmaking furnace, so these The role of data is not as important as imagined.
The temperature of the steel-making furnace still needs to be smelted to test it out for themselves.
As for the proportion of toner, this can have a great effect. In the future, Lin Ze will hand over these materials to Shen Lian.
After talking about steelmaking, will Lin Ze no longer think about it? Steelmaking has not accumulated to a certain extent, and it is difficult to see results in a short time. Now I will raise my head. As for How to do it and when to produce results is not under Lin Ze’s control. It depends on Shen Lian. However, Lin Ze believes that with his own steelmaking materials and a lot of money, Shen Lian Their days of smelting into steel will certainly not be far.
At this point, some people may wonder why Lin Ze attaches great importance to the refining of iron and steel, and the Chinese mainland respects martial arts. Lin Ze should pay attention to the refining of Xuanbing.
Xuanbing's power is many times stronger than the best steel, so according to common sense, Lin Ze should invest in Xuan Bing's refining.
Indeed, mainland China respects martial arts, and Lin Ze really should pay attention to the refining of Xuanbing.
In fact, Lin Ze is indeed paying attention to the refining of the Xuanbing, but the materials for refining the Xuanbing are scarce, and if you want to refine the Xuanbing, you must have a special refining division.
Although the materials of the Xuanbing are extremely scarce, Lin Ze still collected some materials for refining the Xuanbing after the White Jade City.
However, Lin Ze, a refiner, was embarrassed.
Lin Ze's hand does not have a refining master, so for the time being, it is impossible for Lin Ze to refine the Xuan Bing.
As for Lin Ze's emphasis on the refining of iron and steel, there is actually one reason, that is, Lin Ze wants to build a railway.
Ancient China has always been the most powerful country on the planet. At that time, other countries united and were not opponents of China. Why did such a powerful country have not expanded its sphere of influence?
The reason is very simple, that is the reason for traffic.
The territory of ancient China has always been very broad. Horse riding from the west to the east requires the fastest time of 20-30 days. If the army rushes, it takes two or three months, which is normal. It will inevitably consume a lot of money and material resources, causing economic difficulties for the country.
Therefore, for those marginal areas, the rulers of ancient China, although they wanted to occupy it in their hearts, in the end, they still gave up under the reality.
To maintain a strong force on the extremely distant border, the consumption is really too great.
Not to mention others, just to transport grain to marginal areas, the consumption is not so large.
Generally speaking, after 10 layers of grain are transported to the military camp on the border, it is good to be able to leave 3 or 4 layers of grain.
Such a large consumption, even if there are ten gold mines, can not afford it.
Once a war broke out in the border area, until the court got the news, and finally sent reinforcements, until the reinforcements reached the border, there was no time for three or four months.
Three or four months is enough for those invading enemies to invade the country for thousands of miles. Therefore, a long-lasting and large-scale war has just appeared.
Therefore, if you want to maintain control of the marginal areas, you must first have fast, low-cost transportation supplies and military methods, otherwise, everything is empty talk.
The mainland of China is too big, not to mention the other. The territory of Chu alone is as big as five or six Chinese nations, and Chu is just a drop of the sea on the mainland of China.
Lin Ze wants to make a career on the mainland of China, so first of all, he has to solve the problem of rapid transportation.
The role of trains, as long as everyone on the earth knows, can not only quickly and cheaply transport materials and the army, but also vigorously develop the economy.
A city, with trains, and without trains are completely two concepts.
The speed of economic development in cities with trains is bound to be faster and more obvious than in cities without trains.
The convenience of the train allows merchants to deliver materials more quickly and easily, which leads to the development of commercial economy.
Therefore, Lin Ze began to plan to build a railway in his heart.
Someone here will say, does the train need a locomotive, can we make a suitable locomotive at the technological level of mainland China?
Haha, in fact, the problem with locomotives is very simple. Lin Ze is not going to make locomotives at all. He has more suitable alternatives.
The train needs a locomotive, because the locomotive can provide huge kinetic energy, and then drive the train forward.
On the earth, if the train wants to start, it really depends on the powerful kinetic energy of the locomotive, because no other thing can provide such a powerful kinetic energy~EbookFREE.me~ However, it is different on the mainland of China.
On the mainland of China, there are countless wild beasts. Among these wild beasts, the strength of many wild beasts is more powerful than the kinetic energy of the locomotive.
Not to mention the other, the firearmed bulls captured by Lin Ze alone can provide more powerful kinetic energy than the locomotives. The only pity is that the firearmed bulls are not as fast as the trains.
However, there are more wild beasts faster than the locomotive on the Shenzhou mainland.
For example, Lin Ze's iron horn rhinoceros, copper horn rhinoceros, silver horn rhinoceros and golden horn rhinoceros are not only kinetic energy stronger than the locomotive on the earth, but also faster than the train.
Iron horn rhinoceros, copper horn rhinoceros, silver horn rhinoceros, and golden horn rhinoceros are all four species of wild beasts. Their names vary according to their strength.
The iron horn rhinoceros was the first to start. This is a barbarian with four layers of strength. The body is about four meters high, the body is about seven meters long, and the body is about one meter wide. It is covered with a hard scale armor and a forehead. In the middle there is a rhino horn about one meter long and the thickness of the fist of the adult
