If you just refine iron ore, remove the impurities inside and get qualified steel.
The territory hopes that the steel factory that has produced the components before can do this work, and the output has stabilized and increased through continuous trial and error. It only takes a while to gradually update the old equipment, and it can basically meet the requirements of the territory's current production of ordinary tools.
needs.
Under this situation, Lianmeng Steel Factory wanted to step in and get orders and make considerable profits.
It's difficult.
Either find ways to increase production or find ways to suppress costs.
But it’s easier said than done.
Not only is Spicy Iron Hammer not good at this, but the apocalyptic madman is also blind.
Therefore, the two could only decide to overtake in a corner, improve their smelting technology and purity, and enter another incompetent track, specializing in the production of high-quality materials.
Either for military weapons or for important buildings in the territory.
As for orders with low price and low technical content, it is just right to leave them to the steel factory in the village.
"Hey, what was my big deal back then?"
"Recipe ratio? Isn't the steel factory in the village willing to share it with you?"
Pu Ling Mo Zi smiled calmly and said confidently without taking anything seriously.
"I know the factory director over there. If it's hard for you to ask, I can go help and ask for it."
"When it's done, I'll just give you some introduction fee."
The voice fell.
The spicy hammer at the front turned his head, and after exchanging glances with the doomsday madman, both of them had strange expressions.
Good guy.
So familiar?
He said he knew the director of the village steel factory. Didn't he know
"Well, I just want the director of the steel factory."
Beside Spicy Iron Hammer, a short man with an unattractive appearance stood up under the spotlight.
"Introducing Jiang Chengren, channel nickname: Shangfang Jiewa 001"
"We know each other?"
"Forehead"
Being exposed on the spot, the dark face turned slightly red, and he gesticulated quickly with his hands behind his back.
However, he was not as panicked as expected, but continued to face the latter:
"Director Jiang, have you forgotten that the Hope Steel Plant was soliciting methods for smelting Dali iron ore? We have made new discoveries and are waiting to report to you after we finish this task of digging trenches."
"Huh? Have you found a way?"
Jiang Chengren was stunned for a moment after catching the information in Pu Ling Mo Zi's words.
The melting point of Dali iron ore is higher than that of ordinary iron ore collected from Iron Stone Mountain, reaching 2100 degrees, which has exceeded the limit of smelting by ordinary blast furnaces.
Even if the steel factory took the coal back from the dwarf Blackstone Camp and retorted it at a thousand degrees of high temperature to make coke that was more resistant to burning and heated up faster. The three blast furnaces built still could not meet the 2,000 degree requirement.
, the highest temperature always hovers around 1600 degrees.
Therefore, the steel factory issued a notice asking for more convenient smelting methods.
And now the reason why he came to Lianmeng Steel Factory was because Spicy Iron Hammer developed an improved converter with a secondary temperature increase based on the blast furnace.
The molten iron melted from the blast furnace will enter the ultra-large converter with eight air inlets through the backflow trough. The heat released by ordinary molten iron during the oxidation process and the heat raised by the inlet air will continue to raise the temperature.
.
During this period, the furnace temperature that was originally 1,600 degrees will quickly rise to about 2,100 degrees, reaching the basic conditions for melting Dali iron ore.
Unfortunately, among the currently known furnace lining materials, as the temperature rises to 1640 degrees, the strength of the furnace lining will decrease by 10% for every 10 degrees of increase. Even magnesia carbon bricks cannot withstand such high temperatures continuously.
The Dali iron ore that had just been put in for smelting was less than half melted. As the temperature dropped rapidly, it solidified into irregular waste ore, which was far from the level that could be poured into a mold and rolled into shape.
"Of course, we have found the perfect way to smelt this ore!"
Chu Ling Mo Zi was still confident, and at the same time, he pulled out a man with a goatee from behind.
"It was discovered by Lao Dao. After our testing, as long as the Dali iron ore can be continuously forged, the internal temperature will rise."
"Although I don't know how fast the frequency is to achieve melting, I think you should have a solution, right?"
Although Chu Ling Mozi didn't know much about steelmaking, the test ore from before was a bit hot to his hands after just hitting it with a hammer for a while.
If the steel factory could create a forging machine with a motor, how could it be faster than him using a hammer?
Maybe.
If he can really meet the melting conditions, the reward will be 50 Tianyuan copper coins, which is enough to make him rich twice.
“Can beating heat it up?”
Spicy Iron Hammer's eyes lit up and he immediately winked at the doomsday madman.
The latter quickly pulled out a piece of Dali iron ore waste from the waste pile nearby and placed it on the operating table.
"I come!"
The man standing aside walked up, picked up the hammer and started beating.
Dali iron ore that has not been smelted is more fragile than ordinary iron ore. It only takes a few times for sparks to appear randomly and slight deformation.
After hitting him for more than ten times, he retreated to get out of the way.
Spicy Iron Hammer and Jiang Chengren stepped forward to touch it.
Sure enough, the temperature at the beating site really increased a lot, about 30 degrees higher than that of the waste material next to it.
"Can this ore absorb energy? Convert kinetic energy into internal energy?"
At the first moment, the knowledgeable people exchanged glances quickly, and they were all a little shocked.
Due to common sense, after getting the Dali iron ore, everyone didn't think about it at all and just continued to smelt it at high temperatures according to the way on earth.
But now, I picked up a piece of scrap and threw the spicy hammer away.
The edge of the ore hit the ground, leaving a black mark.
When I picked it up again, the rubbing area felt slightly warm to the touch.
"How about it, am I right?"
Looking around at these people who were shocked by "themselves", they were so proud that they quickly interjected:
"And according to my research, if you don't hit this thing for two seconds, pick up the place you hit and knock it down, it will release all the heat inside at the impact point at once, which is amazing!"
"What?"
If we say this strange way of heating up, it just allows the steel plant to find another possibility to smelt Dali iron ore besides upgrading the electric arc furnace.
The characteristics tested by this moth are enough to subvert everyone's cognition.
Absorb energy and release it?
No way.
The doomsday madman's eyes widened and he quickly tried what Chu Ling Mo Zi said.
A few seconds later, looking at the result in front of him, he opened his mouth wide, and a term that only existed in movies appeared in his mind.
"Vibranium?"
A fictional metal in comics, rumored to come from meteorites in the sky. Because of its special molecular structure, its molecules are relatively static and hardly conduct heat and kinetic energy, so it can absorb it and then explode after being impacted.
.
Of course, compared to the indestructible properties of vibranium, the fragility of Dali Iron Ore is obvious to all.
Neither the iron-clad shield in Captain America's hand nor the armor of Black Panther that can withstand various types of impacts can be made.
But what if it is not used alone, but linked with other materials?
Ordinary iron armor, with some smelted iron ore added and distributed in fragile areas, can completely absorb external impact kinetic energy and better protect the wearer.
For a less powerful portable pistol, if some powerful iron ore is added to the barrel, the first shot may be weaker due to kinetic energy absorption, but as long as you wait for two seconds and shoot when the second kinetic energy is released, it will be completely possible.
It has a "critical hit" effect.
Turning tools for lathes, punching tools for punching machines, and drill bits for milling machines.
It can absorb energy first and then release it. If it can be used, its uses are simply too wide.
If Lianmeng Steel Factory can seize this opportunity,
"Director Jiang?"
Mala Tiezhui was the first to react and said with a smile: "We have agreed before that the development of Dali Iron Mine will be entirely handled by Lianmeng Iron and Steel Works. You can't take away our business."
"Yes, once usable materials are actually produced, our two factories can continue to cooperate in depth and continue to contribute to the territory." The apocalyptic madman also quickly added.
Being faced with such a fight between the two, Jiang Chengren was a little bit dumbfounded.
The Hope Steel Plant has been in development for more than three months, but it was criticized by the village chief Chen Shen every day at the meeting.
He was eager for someone to step forward and share some of the firepower so that the lord would not be blamed.
As for making money
It is hoped that the village will be responsible for all profits and losses of the steel plant. He is just a person responsible for technology research and development.
Selling Spicy Iron Hammer gives you face, so if you really need cooperation in the future, it’s better to mention it.
"Don't worry, I am a person who sticks to my word, and what I say is what I say."
“I’ll leave the research and development of Dali Iron Mine to you.”
"Thank you so much, Director Jiang." Spicy Iron Hammer and Doomsday Madman nodded in unison, with excited expressions on their faces.
"I promise you the improved converter. We will sort out a complete set of data and drawings and send them over tomorrow."
"We have also transferred the large orders for underground shelters to specialize in the research and development of this powerful iron ore!"
"What about me? The mission says I have fifty copper coins."
Realizing that the two groups had suddenly reached an agreement, Fluttering Moth hurriedly stood up and shouted.
"Don't worry, as long as the verification is passed, your task will be worth a dime."
"In addition, I need you to keep this matter completely confidential and not tell anyone. We will report the specific information to the lord immediately."
"If you're lucky then, you might be able to receive additional reward contribution points."
An unexpected discovery that benefits all three parties.
Seeing Feng Ling Mozi and Lao Dao leaving happily, Spicy Iron Hammer quickly turned around and devoted his attention to improvements again.
It can absorb kinetic energy to increase temperature. Isn’t that easy?
It just so happens that among the items returned from scavenging outside these days, there are many good things that ordinary people cannot use.
It is not easy to collect them and use them to create an automatic forging machine.
And as long as the characteristics of the first pot of Dali iron ore are verified, subsequent forging will be easier.
It won't take long for Dali Iron Mine to reach mass production.
"Master, the neighborhood scanning modeling has been completed, but no traces of the corresponding target have been detected yet."
"There are sixteen new discoveries in your designated area."
"Seven of them are traces of human beings, and one has traces of fighting."
Sumo walked in the western suburbs of Qinggang City, the Zero in his hand constantly scanning information and sending back the latest scanning analysis results.
Signs of a fight were heard.
His footsteps paused, and he headed in the direction directed by Zero with some interest.
Are the Aboriginal people fighting?
This is a good discovery. Even if there is only one site left that has been washed away by rain, with the help of Zero's restoration ability, some practical information can be found.
It would be better if we could use this to get a general idea of the situation in this western suburbs.
Even if you find some abandoned engineering equipment or damaged large vehicles, they can still be repaired using the survival point to play a big role.
Quickly come to the "crime scene".
Sumo saw at a glance the black-red blood that had not been completely washed away on the ground.
"Can you analyze the fighting situation?"
"Under analysis"
Extracting the remaining traces around it, Zero began to use computing power to try to simulate the restoration.
Of course, expecting it to use these traces to reproduce the fighting scenes just like in the movies is a no-brainer.
About two or three minutes later, Zero found the direction of the injured's evacuation from the remaining messages.
"Is it the direction of Gopher Guy's bunker?"
Su Mo raised his eyebrows, suddenly feeling that his visit today was worthwhile.
How dare someone dare to provoke the most vengeful gopher?
According to the information provided by Wild Wolf, this is very unlikely to happen unless one party is completely impatient.
And if the light rain continues for another day or two, the remaining traces may be washed away.
By then, it will be difficult to seize this opportunity.
At this time, follow the direction of the zero prompt.
Soon, Sumo stopped at the place where the trip mine was placed before and looked inside.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t look at it, you will be shocked when you look at it.
The Gopher Man's camp, which seemed defenseless before, is now fully armed, with several temporary walls erected along the wellhead.
Within the wall, there were several vague figures walking back and forth, seemingly patrolling.
"They came out?"
Somo felt happy and hurriedly ran along the flank to the high ground he had discovered earlier.
Traveling alone, he did not wear the Sun Chaser Armor, and switched to a second interstellar human body.
Under the cover of the fog, these patrollers could not be discovered at all, and he quickly reached the commanding heights.
Now look down again.
The figures of those patrolling people became clearer.
Compared with normal people, their bodies are slightly smaller, and they look like they are stunted.
However, the metal armor on the body that emitted a cold light, and the gun in the hand that exuded a cold aura, left no one doubting the consequences of being discovered by them.
"It's not simple. Is this a powered exoskeleton?"
Sumo's eyes narrowed.
Different from the full-encirclement design of the Sun-Chasing Armor, the armors worn by these people have thick lines. Each mechanical arm is attached to the person's joints and changes its posture as it moves.
By providing energy for assistance through the large backpack on the back, the exoskeleton will not cause the wearer to feel pressure.
Even ordinary people can perform impressive melee damage with this set of equipment.
"Fortunately, I didn't rush in rashly."
Having such weapons and equipment directly means that the level of force in this bunker is not low.
At least the big battery behind them, if detonated directly, would be no less powerful than the superimposed explosion of several grenades.
But that's exactly what it is, compared to scavengers like Wild Wolf hiding in the fifth floor area.
Sumo was more interested in the Free State bunker, which had basic scientific research capabilities and even scientific research reserves.
As long as you can capture it, the benefits will be equivalent to getting a micro factory with its own workers!
