Many of the members of the Zhongzhou team that night may have slept very late, and some may even have not slept at all.
But Hu Biao and his team's great cause could not be accomplished just because these guys didn't sleep well. According to the division of labor made at the meeting, the Zhongzhou tribe finally officially started.
Therefore, every member of the Zhongzhou team is extremely busy.
After all, for the natives of the doomsday world, the information these people usually obtain is much richer than those who come from the modern plane.
In such an era, everyone is considered a scholar.
Faced with such a small force that is full of waste, they must each contribute their own strength and be responsible for some tasks.
So, in the next few days, these people became so busy that they had little time to eat or sleep.
But this is also a good thing, because after one night, there was not much plastic wrap left at Hu Biao's place. There was no way! There were too many stinky and shameless products.
Hu Biao became so angry that if he couldn't bring some condoms next time, he would just bring some balloons.
Because that thing is strong and durable, it can be used even after being turned over and washed...
After farming started, the most urgent thing Hu Biao and his team needed to do was, of course, to reclaim the necessary farmland.
Therefore, on the third day after they defeated the Harpoon Brotherhood, the three of them, the Huns Dharma God, Xi Ling, and Original Sin, began to get busy.
As the saying goes, be prepared in advance and use tools to avoid dangers. You should always prepare some working tools before opening up wasteland, right?
It is impossible to reclaim wasteland with all kinds of DIY weapons.
Fortunately, what the Zhongzhou team does not lack most is some of the former kings of talk. The ability to make these people take action may be a little worse.
But in my head, I remember all the various indigenous steel-making methods and other industrial methods very clearly.
Just waiting for one day to travel to a different world, or for some moment in history to become famous by relying on these.
Among them, the Xiongnu Dharma God is particularly outstanding. In this guy’s network hard drive, I don’t know how many are stored similar to:
"Several Excellent Small Blast Furnaces", "Combustion Weapons and Their Killing Effects", "High-yield Brewing Technology", "History of the Development of World Metallurgy" and so on.
No! Different worlds and time travel in history are not mixed up, but the apocalyptic world is encountered by this guy.
Therefore, at yesterday's meeting, the Hun Dharma God worked hard and bravely to complete such a steelmaking project.
Under his command, which was jumping up and down, a furnace from the period of large-scale steel-making was erected beside a mountain stream, and the operation of large-scale steel-making was about to begin.
"Warehouse manager? I asked you whether the thing you built will work. Don't let it collapse when the time comes."
After wiping the stinky sweat on his head from running around giving orders, Hu Biao looked at an earthen blast furnace that was about three meters high and made entirely of yellow mud and red bricks.
With a very uncertain tone in his mouth, he asked about this.
The reason why I ask this is that the earthen blast furnace in front of me was built entirely under the guidance of the Huns Dharma God. If you look at it seriously, this is actually the first time that this thing has been built.
After all, in the modern world, if he really wants to build such a thing in the green belt of the community, or on the roof of the building, the property management company will not agree to it.
Therefore, while Original Sin, Xiling and others were watching, although they did not say anything, the strong suspicious looks in their eyes were already very revealing.
Faced with such a question, the warehouse manager seemed very confident.
He patted his chest and said with confidence:
"Lao Hu, please just be at ease. Although this is my first time doing this kind of earthen blast furnace, I can say that I have firmly recorded the specific process and methods in my mind.
Even in my head, I simulated the construction many times, and every time it was a perfect success."
Thinking that it was useless to worry so much, and that he would give it a try no matter whether it worked or not, Hu Biao was silent for a moment and then said:
"Okay, it's a mule or a horse. Let's pull it out for a run. Let's get started~"
Under Hu Biao's order, the warehouse manager waved his hand and took a dozen natives to add some firewood to the blast furnace.
Next, buckets of freshly fired charcoal were added.
By the way! It was quite difficult for Hu Biao and the others to obtain these charcoal.
After defeating the Harpoon Brotherhood, we started to prepare in advance, mainly because in such a process, a lot of relatively precious wood was wasted.
Who is called Yangshan? Like Baiyun Mountain, this place has been cut down too much, and now there are no even slightly larger trees; after looking around, it is all tall weeds and low bushes.
If you want to burn qualified charcoal, you can only use the wood you saved before.
After adding the charcoal, some small pieces of rusty steel were added to the blast furnace.
Such an operation was impossible to do; Hu Biao and the others not only failed to find coal in a short period of time, they also had no time to find iron ore, so they could only deal with it with some scrap iron.
Fortunately, the quality of this scrap iron should be much better than some of the pig iron smelted by these rookies.
After everything was finally settled, the blast furnace was lit from the ignition port below.
In the first moment, Mazi and several others took turns pulling a makeshift, ugly-looking bellows and began to blow air into the blast furnace.
This is the warehouse manager's professional expression. The melting point of steel is above 1500 degrees, and the temperature in the blast furnace is too low.
Needless to say, there is still some scientific truth to what the warehouse manager said, which is also the biggest reason why Hu Biao is willing to try it.
Then, in their expectant eyes.
There was a "click~" sound, and a large hole opened in the outer wall of the clay blast furnace made of yellow mud.
Damn it! Under such an accident, the Hun Dharma God was such a talker and a scammer, and he could run faster than a rabbit.
******
Of course, failure is the mother of success.
In order to invent a light bulb, Edison experimented with more than 1,600 heat-resistant materials, which revealed the possibility of this.
In other words, Hu Biao and the others really need some working tools now. Since they have no other choice, they can only forget about the warehouse management and continue to toss in the hope that they can produce some qualified farm tools as soon as possible.
After the astonishing temperature inside the cracked earthen blast furnace dropped, they pulled the blast furnace apart.
Finally, after a lot of fussing, I found that there should be a problem with the lack of refractory materials added inside. Ordinary red bricks would not be able to withstand temperatures above 1500 degrees, but would probably be choked even at 1000 degrees.
In order to solve such a problem, everyone in the Zhongzhou team held a Zhuge Liang meeting that night.
During the meeting, Zhuye thought of natural graphite, which should be a good refractory material.
Early in the morning of the next day, Hu Biao and the others began to search for natural graphite around them; luckily, they found something within two hours.
So in the afternoon of that day, an earthen blast furnace was built entirely with natural graphite stones as the inner walls.
I couldn't wait until early tomorrow morning. This earthen blast furnace was put into use that night. After all kinds of materials were placed according to the layers, the earthen blast furnace was ignited again.
It was precisely because it was at night that now thousands of people from the Zhongzhou tribe gathered around to look at this rare person.
It can be regarded as adding a little something interesting to their monotonous life.
Some kids even ran around the blast furnace, and some women immediately started drinking. The scene was quite lively.
Then, this time the blast furnace finally held on; at midnight, after thinking that all the scrap iron had turned into molten iron, the warehouse manager opened the blast furnace and installed a simple valve.
Suddenly, a pre-set pipe passed through, and red molten iron flowed out.
Amid the excited cries of the melon-eaters, the molten iron was poured into the clay molds that had been processed in advance while it was still hot.
It should be noted that these clay models are made of high-temperature resistant clay.
In the end, some hoes and shovels, which looked a little embarrassing but were barely usable, were poured out...
PS: In view of the complaints from the vast number of book friends, the name of this book has been officially changed from today to "No Return Period: The Anti-Japanese War Begins with a Blockhouse". I hope everyone will know it.
