Chapter 508: Ironworks (1)

Genius remembers for a second and provides you with wonderful novel reading.
On the fourth floor of the day after tomorrow, the color of this rhinoceros horn is iron, so it is called the iron horn rhinoceros, and when the strength reaches the seventh floor of the day after tomorrow, the color of the rhino horn will become the color of copper, so it is called the copper horn rhinoceros.
When the strength reaches the day after tomorrow, the color of the rhinoceros becomes silver directly, so it is called the silver-horned rhinoceros.
After reaching the strength of the innate period, the color of the rhinoceros horn directly changes to gold, so it is called the golden horn rhinoceros.
It is said that there are crystals in the back and rhino horns in amethyst
An iron-horned rhinoceros is equivalent to the power of a locomotive today, not to mention the more powerful copper-horned rhinoceros, silver-horned rhinoceros and golden-horned rhinoceros.
Of course, the barbarian is inferior to the train in terms of sustainability. The train can run continuously for 24 hours, at most it is to change the master of the train in the middle.
However, this shortcoming cannot be solved.
The endurance of the copper horn rhinoceros is not as good as the train, but its endurance is still very strong, and it has not been a problem to run at full speed for two or three hours.
Anyway, if there is a train, there are bound to be countless train stations in the middle. So, as long as there are other iron horn rhinos on top of the train station, when the train arrives at the station, just replace it.
Although the frequency of such replacements seems to be more frequent, it also delays a bit, but these delays are at most five or six minutes. This time, huh, who cares? !
As for the speed of the iron horned rhinoceros with the train, there is no need to worry about it at all. The size of the iron horned rhinoceros is huge, but its speed is not slow.
It can be said that on the mainland of China, as long as it is a barbarian, its speed will not be slow, otherwise, it will have been eliminated by other barbarians.
The speed of the iron horned rhinoceros is not the fastest among the wild beasts, but generally there are. Its normal running speed is not below 150 kilometers. If it is running at full speed, 200 kilometers is not a problem.
Therefore, the problem of the running speed of the train has also been solved.
As for whether Lin Ze will build a modern locomotive in the future, he will really not do so in a short time.
The steam engine is definitely an invention that can change the world. Once it appears on the earth, it can definitely cause upheaval in society. Therefore, before there is no absolute strength, Lin Ze will not come up with such conspicuous things.
In addition, Lin Ze’s construction of the railway can solve the lives of many migrants.
Building railways, maintaining railways, building railway stations, and selling tickets, etc. all require a lot of manpower, which can provide jobs for many migrants and enable them to earn money to support their families.
After these refugees earn money to support their families through these jobs, these refugees will become Lin Ze’s loyal loyalties. At that time, if anyone really wants Lin Ze’s idea, these people will not agree first, and, Lin If Ze wants to do anything, these people will support Lin Ze as soon as possible.
Therefore, the issue of railways has long been considered in Lin Ze's heart. Now that the time to build a railway is ripe, Lin Ze is ready to start.
Because he was thinking about the railway in his heart, Lin Ze just took a brief look at the next tour in the craftsman camp.
Then, after encouraging Qiu Tie, Lin Ze, with Shen Lian, and some other people who knew iron making, left the artisan camp.
Lin Ze wanted to set up the ironworks as soon as possible, so as to start building the railway.
In the next five days, Lin Ze kept talking to Shen Lian about some iron-making things, all of which were iron-making materials on the earth, in order to improve their ability to make steel.
After Shen Lian initially learned about the steelmaking materials, Lin Ze collected a large number of manpower directly from the refugees and built the first real iron plant.
There are some iron making places in Mozhen, but at most it is an iron making shop, which is far from becoming an iron making plant.
Because of the railway, Lin Ze took great care of the establishment of this ironworks, not only recruited more than 3,000 refugees to build the ironworks, but also directly mobilized nearly two hundred armored cattle Participate in the construction of ironworks.
In this way, just one week's time, the ironworks Lin Ze wanted was established.
Of course, it is just a preliminary, small-scale ironworks, which can be continuously expanded in the future as needed.
Lin Ze didn’t want to let the iron plant pollute the beautiful Huangsha Town, which is now starting to edge, so Lin Ze built the iron plant directly away from Huangsha Town local.
In addition, the raw materials for iron-making are all from the Fire Cow Valley in Mozhen. Therefore, the iron-making plant in Linze was built directly in the middle of Mozhen and Huangsha.
As for security issues, anyway, the sand thieves in Shazhou have been frightened by Lin Ze. As long as they are smart sand thieves, where dare to come to Huangsha Town is equivalent to the place where is located, so Lin Ze can take it with confidence The ironworks were built away from Huangsha Town.
Of course, in order to avoid a real accident at that time, Lin Ze still set up a strict warning line around the ironworks, and placed a team of 1,000 households here, plus there is another 1,000 households in Mozhen. Now, with these two thousand households, the safety of the ironworks can be guaranteed.
Considering that iron smelters need a lot of power when making iron, the iron smelters in Chu Kingdom used to rely on manpower to operate, which not only has extremely low efficiency, but also is prone to unexpected situations. The ironworks is different. He directly uses water power.
Linze’s ironworks were built near a small river. This Xisha River is indeed a small river. Even in the period of high water, the width of the river will not exceed 30 meters. As for the dry period, it is only three. Four meters wide.
However, such a river is enough for Lin Ze.
The Xisha River is very small, so in order to make iron with the help of water, Lin Ze digs a drainage channel from the upstream near the Xisha River, and builds a dam to store water, and then, builds a large and small side of the channel Three or forty waterwheels.
Because of the role of the dam, the drop from the river to the canal is not small. The power of the water flow can just drive the waterwheel beside the canal. Then, the power required for smelting is continuously provided to the ironworks.
At the beginning of the changes made by Lin Ze, the people in the iron smelting plant, including Shen Shen, kept silent. After all, they had never experienced such a thing before when they made iron.
However, after the dam was established, the waterwheel was erected, and after really experiencing the power of borrowing the water flow, the people in these ironworks directly regarded Lin Ze as a fairy, so the magical ability really made it The people in the ironworks admire them.
After this incident, the people in the ironworks, whether they had just recruited them, or the teachers of the ironworks who had known ironmaking before, all listened to Lin Ze.
As long as Lin Ze said, no matter how they did not understand in advance, how they felt unsatisfactory, they would act accordingly.
It turned out that their choices were correct. The changes made by Lin Ze really made them feel great benefits when making iron.
Not to mention others, the installation of pulleys alone has made these iron-smelting masters feel great benefits.
Before transporting iron ore into the iron-making furnace four to five meters high, it required a lot of effort, and some facilities had to be built to facilitate the transportation of iron ore, but now with the moving pulley, not only can The complicated facilities around the iron making furnace are much reduced, and it is much easier to transport iron ore into the iron making furnace.
In the past, to transport iron ore, you need to carry a few hundred pounds of iron ore to the iron furnace of four or five meters high, and then pour it in again, which is very dangerous.
Not to mention others, just pouring iron ore into the iron-making furnace, some timid people may have trouble.
It’s different now, you just need to load the iron ore under the iron furnace, then tie the rope directly on it, and then pull the rope, the iron ore will rise directly to the top, and then the person above will directly Push it, you can pour the iron ore into the iron furnace, which is easier and safer than before.
In addition to the installation of pulleys, there are other changes, these changes have played a certain role, so, to Lin Ze, the people in the ironworks, are extremely admired and convinced!
Linze’s ironworks was built directly on the east side of the Xisha River. Just entered the ironworks~EbookFREE.me~ You will first see a long row of bricks inside, half buried in the underground kiln.
Buried the kiln half underground can effectively keep the heat and improve the utilization rate of raw materials.
The structure of these kilns is similar to a small two-story building, the first floor is used for fire heating, and the second floor is used to place raw wood for burning charcoal.
However, this kiln is not an iron-making furnace, but is used to make charcoal.
Lin Ze has not yet found a coal mine, so for the time being, only charcoal can be used to make iron.
Gao Yan, the person in charge of the ironworks, was standing by the kiln at this time, directing the apprentices below to run up and down to set up the wood.
Gao Yan was a master in a private iron-making shop in Qingzhou. The iron-making technology is extremely high.
Originally, with Gao Yan's ironmaking technology, he could not become a refugee.
After the refugees became rebels, Qingzhou's rebels also attached great importance to people like Gao Yan who had extremely high ironmaking skills. For mobile phone users, please browse m for better reading experience.
