Therefore, although Stina's big failure also hurt Yuan Tan, Yuan Tan was almost used to things like ups and downs in his life, so the setback caused by his little wife was nothing.
Although it was indeed quite distressing to build a Huayang Smelting Division with a blast furnace of more than 7.0 square meters in Chang'an, but because of this, Chen Xi finally gave back a team of professionals, just because he, Yuan Tan, had some gambling habits.
, leading to the failure of large-scale construction, heavy losses, and increased cerebral blood vessel pressure.
Naturally, Yuan Tan did not pursue the matter of his little wife's slip of the tongue. After all, after experiencing so many failures, Yuan Tan had sufficient resistance to these blows that were not directly life-threatening. He could not solve the problem even if he blamed his little wife.
When Yuan Tan started to think hard and researched how to use the square steel furnace to complete the innovation of farm tools and then cultivate enough acres, Stina suddenly dragged Yuan Tan to the mine a few kilometers outside Sizhao City.
, To be honest, Yuan Tan was quite irritable when he was dragged away.
It's just that Stina has been jumping up and down, which is quite heart-warming. In addition, Yuan Tan also feels that he may be under too much pressure recently. Stina can't bear to take her out to relax or something. After all, Yuan Tan also knows that Stina
Na is actually quite smart, she just doesn't use her brain very much.
Just watching Stina deal with Celtic internal affairs, one can actually tell that Stina does not understand nothing, on the contrary, it should be said that she understands a lot. It is more about making a choice and then gradually advancing.
Therefore, Yuan Tan was dragged out by Stina to look at the snowy scenery of Eastern Europe. Yuan Tan was ready to relax, but was dragged to the mine by Stina and was shocked when he 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 nobles are worried, it is probably because their military strength is not enough. The best way to ensure military strength and relieve the pressure is this kind of plan.
A big steel furnace.
This is just like during World War II, steel production directly determined a country's military strength. A large steel furnace can solve too many problems.
Therefore, Yuan Tan's anger instantly calmed down. If it were anyone else, Yuan Tan would definitely be receiving various rewards at this time, but if it were Stina, she is his concubine. There is no need for these empty things, so he should consider what he wants to eat.
Better.
"Hey, hehe." Stina looked at the steel furnace and tilted her head. She did have relevant knowledge, but it sometimes didn't work, but it was indeed built.
To a certain extent, the thing called the "wisdom of the magic mirror" inherited from Celtic mythology itself is an existence that sometimes works but does not work.
This kind of thing is usually done when you are extremely relaxed and don't care at all, or when you have given up and no longer have hope, and suddenly a big success comes out for you, just like now, both Yuan Tan and Wenshi
I had given up and let Stina continue, and Stina also gave up. As a result, with a slip of my hand, I was inspired to succeed and it was completed.
This kind of success always gives people a feeling of dumbfounding, but no matter what, this magical ability can really be used to save lives. For example, now, Stina directly sells the steel reserves in the treasury to the Yuan family, which is empty, and gives milk back.
, with one more five-square steel furnace, many problems will no longer be a problem.
Of course, adding a five-square steel furnace will at most solve the problem at hand. To say that the demand for steel is completely solved, to be honest, the Han Dynasty itself cannot solve it. The demand for things like steel, even if it is entered
In the industrial age, there is no way to be completely satisfied in a short period of time.
"Send someone to take over this place, rebuild the mines and roads, and build a direct road to Sizhao City." Yuan Tan looked at Stina who was jumping around and felt much better, then turned to the side named Si
Tina's escort, the attendant who was actually mainly used to move things, greeted.
The location of Sizhao City itself is close to the later Yekaterinburg. As an industrial city, there is no shortage of mines nearby. However, when building a blast furnace, the local environment will be carefully inspected and the best will be selected in the end.
Naturally, the blast furnace built by Stina was not in a good location found by a group of professional Feng Shui experts, but that doesn't matter. As long as it is built, it will bring its own Feng Shui.
Anyway, man-made Feng Shui, as long as it can suppress the pattern, it is a success. Therefore, Yuan Tan doesn't care that the location of the blast furnace is not right, it is far from the big mine, etc. As long as it can be built, even if it is built in his own kitchen, for Yuan Tan
, is absolutely acceptable.
If that doesn't work, just move. It's worth doing.
After Yuan Tan returned to Sizhao City, his mood improved a lot. The originally depressed house instantly returned to normal, and the chef in the backyard quickly prepared various meals for Stina.
Originally, because Stina was always overeating, Wen always rationed food to Stina most of the time. After all, most of the food was not a necessity for Stina, but a matter of appetite. This was the time when Stina
Na spilled the beans, and Mrs. Wen only found out.
But this time it was different. Wen even asked the chef to take out the meat containing the essence of heaven and earth stored in the cold storage, as well as the rice, vegetables and other things that were originally prepared for use during the Chinese New Year, and treat them as advance.
Happy New Year to Stina.
"Oh oh oh, there are so many delicious things, but they weren't given to me before." Stina looked at the plates of 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 was afraid that you would find out, so I secretly hid it in the deepest part of the cold storage." Wen nodded angrily on Stina's forehead. If she didn't hide it better, Stina would eat them all.
, and there is no good solution to being eaten.
Who told Stina to be the concubine of Duke Zhong, how about having some food? Besides, Stina would go out to hunt some seals, Siberian hamsters, Eastern European bison and other things by herself from time to time, so when Stina mentioned
If you give something to the chef to make, the chef will not ask about the source.
Naturally, Wen hid it very carefully, fearing that Stina would discover it and eat them all.
"Huh huh huh, I like to celebrate the New Year." Stina looked proud, and then she was about to extend her hand, but was stopped by Wen Shi, "It's not all done yet. Let's eat it together when it's all done. My husband and I probably won't be able to celebrate the New Year."
I can only take two bites, and they are all yours."
When she said this, Wen's expression was a little complicated. She hid it, and in the end it was prepared for Stina. She and Yuan Tan could only survive after eating this kind of food. Only Stina could make this
Eat it as a meal.
However, after a while, Yuan Tan sent someone back and said that they would just let Wenshi and Stina have a meal and leave him alone. At this time, Yuan Tan was summoning Xun Chen, Gao Rou, Xin Pi, Yan Pu, and Xin Lai
Sima Yi and others came to discuss business matters.
Problems that we had been pondering over before but could not be solved at all, with the implementation of the new steel furnace, many projects that were not yet mature enough and needed to be axed can now be brought online again.
As for Xun Chen and Gao Rou, when they heard that the new blast furnace had been built, and it was from five directions, they thought, wouldn't it be another two thousand tons of steel this year? The projects that had been cut off suddenly came to mind.
"I think we still need to retain the kitchen knife and iron pot projects that we cut off before. The three hundred thousand iron pots and kitchen knives, although a little less, can indeed greatly solve the people's life problems, even at a low price
Previously, due to steel production problems, the kitchen knife and iron pot projects were axed. Now that a new steel stove is available, Xun Chen picked up this project immediately. It is a proper livelihood project.
Although even if 300,000 iron pots and kitchen knives are distributed at low prices, it will not be enough to meet the needs of all Eastern European people.
According to Xun Chen's estimation, in Eastern Europe, the official and private demand for iron pots and kitchen knives is at least about 120W. Even for those gadgets that weigh two kilograms in total, the total is 2,400 tons.
To be honest, I can’t afford it, so I can only come in batches.
"Put aside the iron pot and kitchen knives for now. What we need most here is an iron stove. Clay stoves cannot withstand the burning of coal. Iron stoves are the strongest and have the lightest dead weight. An iron stove only requires five kilograms."
Okay, I need at least one million here, just two hundred thousand in advance." Xin Pi jumped out and said.
What Xinpi said is also true. Although there are things like kangs here 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.
ah.
Even a clay stove cannot withstand the environment here. It will crack due to the temperature difference if it is burned. As for the etching technology of heaven and earth essence, under the attack of a sudden change in the sky, this thing has become an alternative.
, what is needed these days is something that can be easily operated. For example, if you give the 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 essence of heaven and earth, even if you give the bear a few gestures, the bear will not be able to operate it.
Therefore, realistically speaking, a fireplace with a movable iron stove is the most reasonable choice. However, in the environment in Eastern Europe, even a fireplace must have a cast iron hearth to withstand it. Otherwise, if it is purely made of 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 are necessary. Only by adding these five kilograms of steel can you ensure that the entire home is heated. Otherwise, you will have to lie on the kang and succumb to the winter.
Although the latter is also an improvement, Xun Chen, Xu You, Gao Rou and others need this group of people to work in winter.
After all, winter and summer in Eastern Europe are 50/50, so you can't go half a year without work, so you must be able to get off the kang, and you must have heating facilities. Without this, if you don't want these people to freeze to death, it's best to
It is more realistic to stay on the kang all winter.
The Slavs are incredibly cold-resistant, and some of them freeze to death in winter. Even from a practical point of view, an iron stove is a must.
"No, the demand for your plan is too abnormal." After Xinpi said this, Gao Rou jumped out. Even if only 200,000 iron stoves were produced this year, at five kilograms each, that would still be a thousand tons of steel.
If you eat half of the output alone, what will the others do?
What's more important is that once this kind of plan is started, it cannot be stopped every year. Cast iron stoves must be installed universally for the people.
Otherwise, it will be a problem of inequality rather than scarcity. Even taking into account the timing, Xun Chen suggested that when issuing orders, people in various regions should be informed that early installation means early enjoyment, and late installation will have discounts.
I'm afraid it will have an impact on people's hearts.
Even if the people can understand the problem of insufficient steel production, understanding does not mean they agree with it.
Xinpi will eat up half of the steel production in one go, and he will eat it for five years in a row. Isn't this going to cost people their lives?
Let’s talk about the average service life of cast iron stoves. Calculated in a rather outrageous way, each one can be used for an average of twenty years. If one million cast iron stoves are used, an average of 50,000 cast iron stoves will be replaced every year. This does not include population expansion.
This means that even if Xinpi eats the bulk, it will still eat more than one-tenth of the steel production every year during subsequent maintenance.
The problem is that even if most iron stoves are durable, those that can be used for twenty years are very rare. This means that in the later years of Xinpi, just maintaining this thing every year would only require more steel, not less. This is
It's too terrible.
"Then we will renovate the house and process the hearth of the fireplace to make it last longer." Xinpi will never change his plan. Without a stove, except for the heat on the kang, who would go to work in other places that are so cold that they freeze.
ah.
House renovation is much more troublesome than directly producing cast iron stoves, but in terms of service life and cost, the latter can actually save some money.
"Since the house has been renovated, we might as well forget about central heating." Gao Rou directly patted the table and said, "At present, the central heating used by Yong's is actually the most reliable method at present, which not only provides uninterrupted
Hot water ensures bathing and cleaning in winter, ensures that all people can stay warm in winter, and also provides some jobs."
The Yong family is also in Eastern Europe. Although it is backed by an ice-free port and has a temperate maritime 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
Boilers are required to provide hot water for central heating.
Of course, the Yong family is not without other heating facilities. In fact, the Yong family has built a large number of heating facilities. After comprehensive consideration, it was found that the lowest-grade pottery cauldron is still reliable for heating hot water.
There is no shortage of fresh water or coal in Xinshifang, and people boil water every day. The Yong family even built a swimming pool and bathhouse for a large underground palace during the winter. In addition, last year, the Yong family suffered a heavy blow from the natural disaster.
Central heating has basically been completed.
This can be said to have gone from BC to the 19th century in an instant, completely differentiating themselves from other families.
