Juice charges and recycling Phoenix coins are not the main purpose. While saving manpower, juice charges also help Wang Qi grasp the unemployment and material supply in the city in real time, which can be said to have multiple goals at one fell swoop.

In order for juice to reflect unemployment in real time, citizens need to have more food choices.

In this regard, in addition to the expansion of agricultural land outside the city and some people spontaneously go to the outpost area to open up land, other directions should be promoted from the official level.

For example, animal husbandry rewards.

When they came to the dark place, several tribes brought animals... They were basically all kinds of insects, and Xiaoqiang, who was once not favored by Wang Qi, was the big head.

If Wang Qi hadn't planted the juice trees earlier, these insects would have been killed long ago. However, due to the lack of vegetation coverage and the ice forest could not be overdeveloped, the animal husbandry industry has never had any opportunities to develop.

Now all aspects are gradually getting on track, and finally I have time to take care of this group.

The reward for animal husbandry this time is first pure subsidy.

According to the livestock held by each department, the weight of the meat will be converted to, and the subsidy of 0.1 yuan per kilogram of meat will be directly subsidized.

The amount is very small, but the money was given by Wang Ting for free, so there is no need to kill insects. In fact, a limited amount of start-up capital is given based on this.

The rest of the tribes holding livestock breeds require internal fundraising and personnel arrangements to form several small livestock farms.

"The Sword"

In fact, there are already tribes doing this. This time, it is only officially promoted to accelerate the expansion of the scale of animal husbandry.

With manpower and funds, the next thing is easy. In fact, Xiaoqiang does not need any serious food at all. The natural fermentation of sawdust is a good source of food. The main contradiction before was that it was impossible to provide Xiaoqiang with a large enough area and a dark and humid environment, which limited the increase in the number of animal husbandry species with tenacious vitality.

Xiaoqiang was an important scientific research result of human beings before the world disaster. Although there were some mutations, he was still a very advantageous animal husbandry population. The biggest advantage is that the breeding space is small, and only a fermentation pond is needed to carry out large-scale breeding. It is also the only approved to establish a breeding farm in the city.

As for other types of insects, the holders argued and were finally arranged to build a yard outside the city, but they were allowed to set up an attached factory in the city for temporary transfers during the war.

However, since you want to go outside the city, there is no need to stick to the city wall. Like farmers who have no land to plant, they also choose to go to the outpost, which is closer to the resource area to save a lot of costs.

In view of the increasing flow of people at the outpost, Wang Qi took the time to go out and redesign and expand the outpost with the magic seeds.

Some people built houses here, built around the outpost outside the city wall. It seems that they planned to retract them into the outpost when something happens.

Very good, saves a lot of trouble.

The functions of the outpost have been increased. In addition to expanding the scope of the city wall, it also requires increasing the number of personnel stationed on the outpost itself. However, local creatures can magic, and the effect of filling in the infinity is not necessarily very good.

The final number of city defense troops at the outpost was only increased from 100 to 140.

The revised outpost door faces the town, and the town gate needs additional guards.

It takes time for outpost seeds to develop, and Wang Qi has other businesses after planting them.

He circled a piece of land outside the outpost, inside the future town: "Build a house here, enough to accommodate thirty people and work. The funding will arrive later. The outpost is responsible for hiring citizens to build it, and then handed over to the Urban Management Bureau."

As there are too many people, we have to worry about whether there are extra-law mad disciples who come here to cause trouble. The city defense army is all sharp-edged and has language barriers and cannot replace the work of the Urban Management Bureau, so we have to draw personnel to establish a branch.

After arranging the outpost, I returned to the city and heard the best news for Wang Qi: the ceramic crucible was burned out.

In the industrial era, crucibles were generally used in steelmaking, because the iron smelting furnace at that time could have been able to produce iron continuously without any use, and there was no crucible at all.

However, the specific analysis of the specific situation is that the current conditions are not even popular.

Not to mention coking coal, pure oxygen, and formula cosolvents.

The iron smelting method of blacksmiths should be called wrought iron more accurately.

The wrought iron heats the iron ore to the incandescent state through the furnace, and the fire tongs are clamped out to pound it. The deformation heating effect of the pounding can keep the incandescent state for several minutes. If the sharp blade family is knocked, it may last for more than ten minutes. The wrought iron must be repeatedly sent back to the furnace for heating during the entire period.

There is a serious problem with the wrought iron method. Before the ore becomes self-sustaining pig iron, high-heat fragments will collapse at any time due to hammering, which is very dangerous. Therefore, the iron blocks forged by the wrought iron method are very small every time, and there is no efficiency at all. 20 kilograms a day is the limit.

In order to change the situation where a group of blacksmiths work together, to achieve real mass production under the existing conditions, you can refine iron ingots without repeatedly taking out iron ore. The crucible is almost the only way out, and at least it can ensure that the iron will not splash everywhere in a stable high-temperature heating environment.

The key point is that there is a lack of a solvent, and it can only be used to assist in the solution by soil, such as wood ash, clay powder, etc. These things only have a certain effect on the generation of slag and sulfur removal, and have little effect on reducing the melting point of iron ore. The quality of finished pig iron is also relatively average.

Ceramic crucibles and porcelain plates are not the same. In order to be used in the furnace, the crucible must be thick enough so that it can be kept from being damaged when pouring high-temperature and high-density molten iron. During this period, every increase in thickness is a round of technological upgrades. Even if the ratio is completely fine, foreign matter residues, firing defects, etc. may occur. So when we first arranged this matter, Wang Qi did not expect it to be effective soon.

Although the ceramic crucible has been made now, its size is not good, and it is very helpful for improving production capacity.

However, I still rewarded it for a wave of rewards and specially approved 500 yuan to the current heads of the iron factory and the potters, hoping that they would continue to work hard.

The melting point of the ceramic crucible can easily exceed 2,000 degrees. It is fine to calculate the melting point of quartz at 1,750 degrees. The biggest advantage is that it has good high temperature performance and its strength is much higher than that of the clay crucible. It is hoped to be made into a pot with hundreds of kilograms of molten iron, and clay is absolutely unsuccessful.

Since the crucible has now found its way, the blast furnace can also be put on the agenda.

Wang Qi only added primary hot air technology to the furnace used by the iron plant to preheat the intake using exhaust gas, which is similar to what he did for Dimovich at the beginning.

In order to enable the iron plant to truly achieve economies of scale, Wang Qi needs to spend some more thoughts.

I have never built a blast furnace and I have always seen pig runs. I am not ignorant of the general demand for iron smelting furnaces.

The specific hot air technology is further improved, and the power of hot air is used to try to irrigate the airway, and further accelerate the fuel's energy release by increasing the wind pressure.

If there is no electricity, just use manpower.

The bellows can only be adapted to small furnaces. After the scale is expanded, a real fan is needed. In order to ensure stable air pressure, the fan blades are designed by themselves, and a mature low-speed duct fan shape can be used to allow a batch of small seeds to grow.

The power shaft was sent to blacksmith for a single work. Now there is a very shortage of raw materials. The iron produced by the iron factory is of poor quality. It must be removed through a re-forging process and carburizing and forging to form steel.

The power source is naturally a bicycle configuration, which is a relatively stable state of human energy output. There are three shifts in one shift, one shift every twenty minutes, five shifts, and the basic properties of the sharp blade are so high, and the power is absolutely sufficient when the production scale is limited.

The wind pressure given by basic-level materials and wood fan blades is very limited, but it doesn’t matter. As long as the fan blade is large enough, it can achieve multi-stage wind pressure boosting through pipeline design. Extending the pipeline will also help keep the wood fan away from the high temperature zone.

To realize power hot air, there is also a supporting technology, both coal blowing technology and coke, but it is much more expensive to burn faster.

If coal is not blown, the rising cyclone in the furnace formed by high-pressure hot air will bring the fuel to fly and burn it all in just a few minutes. The temperature in the furnace may not burn evenly at this time.

It doesn't matter if there is no magic. Just use the potential energy of gravity and divide a little airflow from the inlet duct. I just don't know if the blacksmith can make this pipe well, otherwise it will be troublesome to repair it.

After this set, if the furnace is not high enough, you will see a jet-shaped sky fire several meters high at the entrance of the chimney, which is a waste of heat energy, so it is called a blast furnace.

Of course, the production capacity of Wang Qi is incomparable to the real blast furnace, so he just pretends to be better than the manual one. After putting it into use, he will slowly collect the problems and improve them slowly.

The division of labor is still the same. Wang Qiguanshu's part and various chores, Li Xiang took over his behalf, found the financial expenses and coordinated with the steel mill to convene personnel for construction, and came to the scene from time to time to supervise and provide drawings for construction workers on site to ensure that there are no major deviations in the project.

The blast furnace is slightly taller and is made very solid without reinforced concrete. The stone bricks on the surface are almost three meters thick, and a cavity is reserved to play a role similar to refractory bricks. Even if the granite on the inner surface melts, you don’t have to stop.

The project volume is quite large, but the iron is still released before the juice charging day.

Many urban management personnel were sent to prevent trouble, but the citizens seemed to naturally accept the charging setting. Some people would complain in front of the juicer, but there was no violent incident.

It seems that the loan is sufficient for the time being, but a group of people have been forgotten. After charging, Wang Qi remembered it after receiving the following feedback.
Chapter completed!
