Although it is known that it is not easy for industrial development to reach such a scale in such a short period of time. However, the time for development is now urgent, and Fang Xiaoyu is still not satisfied with this. He plans to continue to expand the types and scale of factories here.
First of all, the cement plant must be built as soon as possible. Although railways have begun to be laid, it is impossible to connect to many remote areas. When there is no oil industry and asphalt cannot be produced, cement roads are the only option. Fang Xiaoyu decided to build it here
Lumber mills and furniture factories, although not very technical, are very profitable, especially when Fang Xiaoyu can draw a lot of trendy furniture drawings.
In order to put major factories into operation faster, Fang Xiaoyu secretly exchanged equipment for him. Anyway, with the technology he developed, Xiaofeng could quickly manufacture equipment as long as he had raw materials. Fang Xiaoyu even asked Xiaofeng to use the refractory bricks in the blast furnace.
The wind was made. With this huge time saving, five blast furnaces were built one after another in just one month. When the first furnace of molten iron flowed down the ramp, Fang Xiaoyu finally showed a happy smile on his face.
The molten iron solidifies into iron ingots, and then goes through the converter steelmaking process to produce steel. This efficiency is already many times more efficient than the open-hearth steelmaking in the Western Continent. Originally, Fang Xiaoyu wanted to use an oxygen converter. If an oxygen converter was used,
, the steelmaking efficiency will be improved dozens of times. Unfortunately, before the large-scale production of electrolyzed brine, the production of oxygen was quite difficult. He can only talk about it later.
These steels only solve the problem of availability. The refining of alloy steels requires other equipment. These are not urgently needed. They can be done slowly by Li Zhonggong. Anyway, they will have their own subsequent technical support to refine various kinds of steels.
It was only a matter of time before alloy steel was used.
The produced steel was made into the required plates through the steel processing plant, and then the locomotive and carriages were made by the machinery manufacturing plant. Fortunately, the most important part of the steam engine was made by Fang Xiaoyu, which greatly saved the construction period, and soon the first
A locomotive and twenty carriages were built.
Five of the twenty carriages were passenger cars. When Fang Xiaoyu returned to Tongjiang Fucheng in the passenger car with fifteen carriages full of furniture and cement, the huge roar and sharp whistle made him watch for the first time.
The citizens who saw this steel monster were shocked. But when they saw Fang Xiaoyu stepping off the train, there was another burst of cheers. Fang Xiaoyu had become an omnipotent being in their minds.
After two months in Lanting City, the chemical plant has begun preliminary operation. After the first batch of sulfuric acid was produced, the development of acetate fiber began soon. With the detailed manufacturing process provided by Fang Xiaoyu, Deng Jiaxiang sent another
Several apprentices came to help and soon produced acetate fiber. Soon after, the first box of matches came out.
After a whole year of busy work, it is already winter, and another new year is coming. This year is different from previous years. Because a new lord has been granted the title, all lords will go to Beijing to report on their duties this winter. Each lord must bring a
Fang Xiaoyu came to Beijing with a gift. After much thought, he decided to bring a gold-plated gift gun inlaid with gems for the emperor. In addition, Fang Xiaoyu brought some local products to give away. Especially when he knew that Marshal Xia Jun had the habit of smoking, he specially made a gun for him.
Plant cigarette boxes.
At this time, Lanting brand cigarettes have begun to sell well throughout the Eastern Continent. Even in the Western Continent, some of them were shipped by Fang Xiaoyu by sea and are being sold. However, because they are not safe, the matching matches have not yet been put on sale. This time Fang Xiaoyu gave
Xia Jun specially designed a cigarette case, as well as the aged thyme wine brewed by Xiaofeng and the milk candies and fruit candies just made by Fang Xiaoyu for several grandfathers.
Since outside Tongshan County, only Luhai County had a newly constructed railway, the depressed Fang Xiaoyu had to give up the idea of taking the train to Beijing and continued to choose horse riding. Fang Xiaoyu didn't feel lonely with Elena by his side, but this year's cold snap
They arrived very early. It started to snow as soon as Fang Xiaoyu arrived in Shannan County. Fang Xiaoyu originally wanted to brave the snow, but because the snow was too heavy, Fang Xiaoyu, Elena and fifty guards had to stop at an inn.
, Fortunately, Fang Xiaoyu left relatively early, so even if he rested here for a few days, he would not miss the date of entering Beijing.
For several days, more and more people stayed in the inn, and soon the place was full. Living in the inn was extremely boring. Fang Xiaoyu went to chat with Elena when he had time, and did he have some ambiguities?
.Since Fang Xiaoyu combed Elena's hair next to the Moon Well last time, the relationship between the two has taken a step closer. Although there is no public confession, the two of them have completely recognized each other in their hearts.
Of course, Fang Xiaoyu can't always be tired of Elena's side. When the two are not together, Elena hides in her house and cleans her beloved pistol, while Fang Xiaoyu insists on practicing Bajiquan in the yard every morning.
, and spent the rest of the time wandering around. On this day, Fang Xiaoyu felt a little hungry after practicing Bajiquan in the yard. He strolled out of the inn and quickly walked into a nearby tavern.
"Shopkeeper, please bring a plate of boiled peanuts and cut some cooked beef." Fang Xiaoyu sat at the window and ordered two dishes. Although he is now a rich man, Fang Xiaoyu still maintains the habit of not being extravagant and wasteful. What's more, Fang Xiaoyu feels that
When drinking in the snow, the best thing is to order some peanuts to liven up the atmosphere.
The two dishes were served, and Fang Xiaoyu took out a bottle of aged thyme wine from Xiaofeng's equipment warehouse. As soon as he opened the bottle cap, a strong aroma gradually spread out, and everyone in the tavern sniffed twice and turned their heads.
He stared at Fang Xiaoyu with an envious look.
Fang Xiaoyu smelled the aroma of the wine and felt quite satisfied. The wine processed by Xiaofeng was really good. It was made with pure grains and no blending. What's more, Xiaofeng's formula and craftsmanship were also extraordinary. It was more fragrant than most famous wines in previous lives.
, just the fragrance wafting out is already making people salivate.
Fang Xiaoyu poured a small glass of wine and sipped it slowly, drinking and eating the food with an expression of enjoyment on his face. At this time, a young man with blond hair came over, took a deep breath and spoke with a half-cooked drink.
Chinese said: "Sir, your wine is not an ordinary thyme bar."
Fang Xiaoyu glanced at him and said: "Yes, this is aged thyme wine. If you don't mind, let's sit down and have a drink together." The young man said in surprise: "Really? That's great. Come to the Eastern Continent for a few years.
This is the first time I have seen such a generous person." As he spoke, he unceremoniously sat down opposite Fang Xiaoyu, asked the waiter for a pair of bowls and chopsticks, and unceremoniously took the wine bottle and poured himself a glass.
Fang Xiaoyu looked at the blond young man and smiled and said: "Judging from your appearance, you should be from the Western Continent." The young man said: "Ah, I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself when I saw the wine. I actually forgot to introduce myself. It's really weird.
excuse me."
Then he adjusted his clothes randomly and stretched out his hand: "Hello, my name is Einstein. I come from the Boston Empire in the New World." Fang Xiaoyu laughed secretly after hearing this. It is such an interesting name. It actually has the same name as a great scientist on the earth.
.
Although he was a little funny in his heart, Fang Xiaoyu's face showed nothing strange. He also stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Fang Xiaoyu, and I am from the Lanfang Empire." Withdrawing his hand, Fang Xiaoyu asked:
"What are you doing in Lanfang Empire?"
Einstein sighed and said: "I am an inventor. I have many dreams, but I have no money. In order to make money, I worked hard, but when I sold the newly invented steam engine boiler to the Boston Imperial Government,
But they would rather use the backward products from the Saar Empire than use my new products, and they also said that it is impossible for people from the Boston Empire to surpass the scientists of the Saar Empire."
Fang Xiaoyu was a little surprised and asked: "What kind of boiler is it?" Einstein said: "It is a boiler that transfers heat through water pipes. It is much better than the best fire barrel boiler in the Saar Empire now, but no one recognizes it." Fang Xiaoyu
He said in surprise: "It's a small water tube boiler." Einstein said in surprise: "You know it too? Are you also an inventor?" Fang Xiaoyu smiled and said: "Even so, but why did you come to the Lanfang Empire again?"
Einstein took a sip of wine and said: "I heard that the Lanfang Empire has produced many novel products in recent years, which are both practical and novel. I think the Lanfang Empire should be more open-minded, so I brought my own
I came here to try my luck with the drawings, but when I went to the Ministry of Industry, I was told that they didn’t need a steam engine at all.”
