Zhu Cixi looked at the huge blast furnace in front of him with some emotion.
From his perspective, the blast furnace in front of him is not a giant beast, but the future of the entire China and the entire Chinese nation!
Zhu Cixiang had a solemn look in his eyes.
Steel is the backbone of the nation!
This is the truth that Zhu Cixi feels most deeply as a time traveler!
The surrounding workers quickly threw coal and iron ore in from the entrance on the side.
The steam engine next to it also quickly started running under the influence of steam, and huge wind force began to be blown into the blast furnace.
The flame brought extremely high temperatures. Even though Zhu Cixi was far away, he could still feel the huge amount of high temperature emanating from the blast furnace.
A smile flashed in Zhu Cixi's eyes.
"Professor Song, what method did you use to make the refractory bricks in this blast furnace?"
Zhu Cixiang asked Song Yingxing in front of him curiously.
"Your Highness, I use graphite and clay mixed with quicklime to make the refractory bricks in this blast furnace. There is no way to melt this brick at ordinary high temperatures! I have fired it and found that
, the higher the temperature, the higher the hardness of this brick!
And the thermal insulation efficiency is also extremely high!”
Song Yingxing said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him with a smile in his eyes.
In fact, Song Yingxing has had this idea for a long time. The blast furnace steelmaking method, in fact, there were many similar methods in ancient times, but the scales were not large, and the temperatures were not as high as before. Therefore, for
The requirements for refractory bricks are actually not that high!
But things are different now!
Such a huge blast furnace, with so much iron ore, requires a flame that must be extremely high temperature, so there are extremely high requirements for refractory bricks.
Therefore, Song Yingxing has been researching for a long time, and it was not until recently that he finally developed this thing!
He is a technical guru himself!
After having so many things, Song Yingxing finally built the steelmaking blast furnace just a few days ago!
"good!"
Zhu Cixiang looked at the standing blast furnace in front of him with satisfaction in his eyes. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and there was a smile in his eyes.
"This blast furnace is well built! It will be gradually promoted in the future!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said to Song Yingxing in front of him.
"Yes! Your Highness!"
Song Yingxing smiled and bowed respectfully to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
After looking at the blast furnace in front of him for a while, Zhu Cixiang looked at Song Yingxing with emotion in his eyes and said, "Okay, I'm very happy to see that this blast furnace is well constructed! Let's go!"
"
"Your Highness, walk slowly!"
Song Yingxing quickly said to Zhu Cixiang in front of him.
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and glanced at Song Yingxing in front of him.
"Good job!"
After speaking, Zhu Cixiang left the mine with a smile on his face and his subordinates.
After leaving the mine, Li Xi's eyes were still full of excitement. He looked at Zhu Cixiang beside him with excitement and said: "Your Highness! That blast furnace is so big! We will never be short of anything in the future.
Moreover, with such a large steel furnace, will the quality of our steel in the future also become better?"
"kindness!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled slightly and looked at Li Xi in front of him.
"It will get better!"
Taking Li Xi with him, Zhu Cixiang was not in a hurry to return to Qingzhou. He planned to take a tour of Yanzhou Mansion and pay a private visit in private. Anyway, he was always protected by Jin Yiwei with strong martial arts skills, so he didn't care much about himself.
Safety!
Just when Zhu Cihong was conducting a private visit to Yanzhou Prefecture.
The 50,000 troops led by Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde had already arrived under the city wall of Shanhaiguan and soon began to set up camp!
Hong Chengchou stood on a stone and looked at Shanhaiguan in the distance.
At this time, his eyes were slightly solemn. He looked at Shanhaiguan in front of him and said to Kong Youde on the side: "The defenses on the city wall are quite sophisticated. It doesn't look like a rebellion!"
"Not rebellion?? What is that??"
Kong Youde was stunned for a moment. He looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him with doubt in his eyes and asked.
There was a hint of hesitation in Hong Chengchou's eyes. He pondered for a moment, looked at Kong Youde in front of him and said, "I very much suspect that this city has been captured by someone! And that person is probably King Haoge.
!”
"This is impossible!"
Hearing Hong Chengchou's words, Kong Youde was suddenly shocked. He said to Hong Chengchou in front of him with a serious face.
"Do you have any evidence???"
"No!"
Hong Chengchou spread his hands and said with helplessness on his face towards Kong Youde: "I can only think that Hauge can break this city!"
"But, how did Hauge get there??"
Kong Youde frowned and looked at Hong Chengchou in front of him with some confusion. He didn't quite believe Hong Chengchou's words and felt that Hong Chengchou had gone too far!
How could Haug be here???
How could he capture Shanhaiguan? You know, there are troops stationed below Shanhaiguan!
At this time Hong Chengchou was about to say something.
"General! General Balur wants to see you!"
"Let him in!"
Hong Chengchou said to the soldiers on the side.
Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde looked at each other.
There was a trace of hesitation in the eyes of the two of them.
At this time Balur had already walked in.
"Director Hong! General Kong!"
With a smile on his face, Balur greeted Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde in front of him.
"General Balur 1"
Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde also responded quickly.
At this time, Kong Youde in front of him pondered for a moment, looked at Balur in front of him and asked with doubts in his eyes.
"General Balur, I want to ask you, when Shanhaiguan fell, did you hear no sound at all?"
"No!"
With a wry smile in his eyes, Balur said to Kong Youde in front of him: "Our people were stationed outside the city gate at that time. When our people were preparing to enter the city the next day, they found that they could not get in. Only then did they discover that Shanhaiguan
It’s already out of control!”
"I think it must be those traitors who did it! They did it overnight. Only in this way will we not hear the sound!
But fortunately, there are not many of these people, so we should be able to capture Shanhaiguan relatively easily!"
Balur smiled slightly and said to the two people in front of him.
"I wonder when you two are going to attack the city??"
Balur asked Hong Chengchou and Kong Youde in front of him with curiosity in his eyes.
"Before night falls! We must attack the city!"
Hong Chengchou said firmly to Balur in front of him!
