Chapter 252 Steel
What kind of trust is this?
Especially in this era when men are superior to women and women are equal to property, it is enough to shock the world!If it was said that Fang Jun handed over the pier and various workshops to her before, it was enough to make her heart as sweet as honey, but now, Wu Meiniang feels that her life is in the hands of this man.
If it wasn't for the extreme love, how could it be trusted so much?
Wu Meiniang couldn't think of any other way except to stay by Fang Jun's side wholeheartedly. Now she understood that this seemingly rude man had a charm that made women willingly sink into it.
She is like this, so is Princess Gaoyang who said "I will not marry someone else after you die" by the Jingshui...
But Fang Jun didn't feel the emotions of the women around him. For him, the most important thing is to give to his own woman. Is there a problem?
He believes that he can hold Wu Meiniang, and he also believes in Wu Meiniang's ability, this is enough...
"Erlang, everything is ready, can you ignite the iron?"
Wang Xiaoer's face was black and gray, but he was in his fifties but his legs were flying, he ran to Fang Jun and Wu Meiniang and asked excitedly.
In the past few days, I have tested all the equipment, and there is no defect. A furnace of iron was smelted. Although the quality is not good, there are no cracks and cracks on the inside and outside of the furnace body. The pulley block, flywheel, shaft of the waterwheel, The moving parts, the tackle, the piston bellows, etc., are all in good order, and now fully oiled, they run without any clogging, so nothing can go wrong.
Today is the first full-process trial!
Fang Jun smiled and nodded to Wu Meiniang.
Wu Meiniang was only astonished: "Your Majesty is letting my family..."
Wang Xiaoer's expression changed slightly, but then he returned to normal. Although there are women in the iron making industry who are not allowed to talk about it, there is no requirement as to whether the person in charge is a man or a woman.Besides, such a delicate and beautiful woman, who would be willing to let her small pale hands turn on the scalding iron furnace?
Moreover, Wu Meiniang was highly regarded in the farm. Since Erlang didn't take much care of things, Wu Meiniang, the de facto head of the family, had already been unanimously recognized through his skillful skills and excellent dispatching ability.
Wang Xiaoer said with a smile: "Miss Wu, give the order!"
Wu Meiniang tightly clenched her fists, her breathing was a little short, she glanced at Fang Jun, met his encouraging eyes, bit her cherry lips, and shouted coquettishly: "Light it up!"
All the craftsmen echoed loudly, scratching their necks: "Light it up!"
Wang Xiaoer picked up the turpentine torch and threw it into the blast furnace through the tap hole at the bottom.
The valve of the taphole is made of pig iron, and the inside is covered with a thick layer of refractory mud.When bursts of green smoke rolled out of the furnace, one of Wang Xiaoer's disciples lay on the outside of the furnace, squinted his eyes and looked inside, and shouted loudly: "Master, it's burning brightly!"
After all, he closed the trap door.
Wang Xiaoer waved his hand: "Gufeng!"
Another apprentice immediately turned off the engine, and the water wheel slowly rotated under the impact of the water flow. The water in the drainage channel hit the water barrier, and the kinetic energy flowing down from the high place was transmitted to the water wheel, and then the eccentric wheel turned the water wheel to the water wheel. The rotary motion becomes the reciprocating motion of the bellows piston, accompanied by the whirring and rattling of the woodwork, and fresh air is blown into the blast furnace from the air duct.
At first, the waterwheel turned slowly, the air pressure of the blower was low, and the oxygen supply in the furnace was insufficient, and thick black smoke came out from the top of the furnace. As the waterwheel turned faster and faster, the oxygen supply in the furnace was sufficient, and the smoke emitted From black to blue, from green to white, the color is getting lighter and lighter, and finally, a large flame bursts out from the smoke outlet on the top of the furnace, rushing straight up!
In addition to charcoal, some iron ore that has been washed and calcined in an earthen kiln is also installed in the furnace, and limestone is used as a slagging agent. Now that the fire is strong, you can continue to add materials.
This is not Fang Jun's golden finger, but the experience of old blacksmiths. Their ancestors have been making iron this way for generations, but the technology is limited, and the furnace temperature has never reached the height of melting molten iron...
Another person operates another water wheel, which makes the winch linked with the water wheel rotate. Through a set of pulleys, the rope of the feeding dump truck is dragged and tightened slowly, and the dump truck climbs up the blast furnace along the inclined slide rail. As soon as the people below pulled the control cable, the baffle on the dump truck was lifted, and the ore in the truck was poured into the blast furnace.
The dump truck slowly returned, and the workers shoveled the charcoal in, and it climbed up the furnace roof again...
The coal in the preheating pool has already been ignited, and the air entering the furnace has been preheated, blowing into the furnace to intensify the combustion reaction.
Charcoal and iron ore rolled and burned in the furnace body, and the flames and smoke released rushed out of the top of the furnace and flew straight into the sky, making the craftsmen in front of the furnace blush!
Everyone stayed by the furnace, watching this strange sight that they had never seen before. The iron-smelting furnace in the past was only whistling with black smoke. Where could there be such a hot flame?All craftsmen understand that such a hot furnace temperature is unprecedented, and I am afraid that a furnace of good iron can really be smelted!
No matter how high the furnace temperature was, it would take a while for the iron ore to melt, but no one left. Even Fang Jun and Wu Meiniang ate lunch in a nearby shed.
After the meal, the two were drinking tea, Wu Meiniang looked nervously at the iron smelting furnace, and saw Wang Xiaoer running in, an old man whose grandson could herd cattle, with snot and tears With a face full of excitement, he was crying: "Erlang, it's amazing! It's amazing! Go and see, it's already boiled into molten iron!"
Before Fang Jun could make a move, Wu Meiniang got up suddenly, and exclaimed in surprise: "Really?!"
Wang Xiaoer wiped his face and nodded his head like a chicken eating rice: "It's absolutely true!"
Wu Meiniang got up and left. As soon as she took a step, she thought of Fang Jun. When she turned her head, she saw Fang Jun's teasing eyes and a smile with white teeth...
Knowing that she acted too impatiently, Wu Meiniang blushed pretty, she couldn't bear the shyness, and said eagerly: "That...Mr., let's go and see together?"
Fang Jun laughed loudly: "Calm down! Why, do you care more about your own things?"
Wu Meiniang shyly said: "Why don't you own yours? Isn't yours mine? Come on, I'm so anxious..." Pinched Fang Jun and pushed him out.
Wang Xiaoer was even more anxious than her, and almost fell when buying the threshold, Fang Jun smiled and said, "Old Wang, what about it?"
As for it?
Absolutely!
In the past, Wang Xiaoer followed his master to smelt iron. The iron smelting furnace was much smaller than the one Erlang was tinkering with, and the iron produced at one time was less, but the effort and charcoal was several times more. The ore melted, but even if it melted, most of the time it was molten!
Now, it has only been half a day, and the iron ore has not been burned red before, and it has been smelted into water here? !
He still doesn't know that the biggest contributor here is the preheated air!
Air blowing into a blast furnace with a temperature of about [-] degrees Celsius at normal temperature is like pouring ice water on the fire. The charcoal in the furnace not only heats the iron ore, but also heats the air, which has just been heated. Now, ran away from the stove top again, new cold air was blowing in from the duct...
It would be strange if the temperature could rise!
The air preheating is different. The charcoal is burning with the iron ore dry firewood. The hot air here is several hundred degrees and he is fed tiger penis and turtle soup. Can it not be in full swing?
From the observation port on the side of the blast furnace, it can be seen that the molten iron is gathered at the bottom of the furnace, showing a charming orange-red color.It should be fired!
Wang Xiaoer's eldest apprentice put on several layers of thick kudzu clothes for protection, held long-handled iron pliers, and opened the valve of the tap hole at the lower part of the blast furnace, and orange-red molten iron rushed out happily...
The molten iron is mixed with slag. The iron is heavy and the slag is light. Most of the slag floats on the surface. The large pieces are blocked by a pig iron baffle on the groove. The craftsmen take long iron rods and scrape the slag to side.
At this time, the trenches for casting were wide open, and the molds had been set up on the ground long ago. The molten iron from which large pieces of slag had been removed flowed into the molds from the trenches to cast pig iron ingots one by one.
After a while, two hundred pig iron ingots were cast.
Wang Xiaoer has completely lost his mind. It is said that the largest iron-smelting furnace in Changsun's family, the biggest specialty at that time, produced thousands of catties of iron in one furnace, but there are nearly 1 catties of iron lying in the ground!
He pinched his thigh fiercely, and said in a trembling voice: "Erlang, am I right? Ten thousand catties of pig iron, the largest furnace in the world, has to be smelted for ten days and a half months. This is less than half a day..."
Wu Meiniang only felt that the corners of her eyes were beating uncontrollably, and she didn't know whether it was from being roasted by the hot iron ingot, or because she was excited...
If there are three or five more blast furnaces, wouldn't it overtake Changsun's iron factory?
