Let us say that Dai Zhou went to the Shengtang Group to look for Li Min.
But after waiting for a long time, he did not see Li Min.
Because he came at the wrong time.
Until noon.
Li Min is free.
Only then did Dai Zhou finally see him.
When Li Min saw Dai Zhou, he asked straight to the point: "Why do you come here in the spare time? What do you mean?"
"Mr. Zili, I am now facing a problem. I still have some questions. I would like to ask Li Min to help answer them."
Li Min was puzzled. This guy usually wouldn't be like this, but it seemed different today.
And after waiting all morning, is there too little to do?
"Oh, what's the matter? What's your question? Tell me!"
"Yes! It is winter now, and there is less wood. The heating supply of the entire palace has also become a problem. In fact, it is not just the palace, but the entire Chang'an City has such a problem! This is a long-standing problem, sir, you must know it, right?
At the same time, I saw that my husband’s Shengtang Group was indeed fine, and you did not use air conditioners to provide heating for the entire group.
So I really came here to learn from my experience. I want to know what method you used to make the entire group available for heating? Can you tell me so that the court can solve this difficult problem?"
When Li Min heard that it turned out to be this small problem, he responded directly: "It turns out that's the problem. It's simple, because we use coal. All heating uses coal!"
"Coal? Is it all coal? Is it such a luxury?"
Although Dai Zhou knew that Li Min used coal, he was still a little shocked when these words came out of his mouth.
At the same time, he lamented the **** of the group.
It’s not available to ordinary people!
"can you?"
"We all know that the Shengtang Group's various organizations must use a huge amount of coal. The cost must be quite high, right? How about the cost?"
Li Ming smiled and said: "As for the cost, it's not much!"
"Not much?"
"yes!"
"How much is that?"
"What can I tell you? It's probably a fraction of the world's cost!"
"What! The mining of each thousand kilograms of coal consumes too much labor, and transportation is also a major project. These are all costs! It is also a lot of money. The palace cannot support such a huge
We dare not use it this way! How can you do this? Can the group reduce the cost to half?"
"That's the imperial palace, can it be the same as our Shengtang Group? As for how low it is, you will know in a moment."
Li Min asked rhetorically.
That's right.
Then, Li Min said: "First of all, we use machines to mine coal! The cost is naturally very small. As long as there is a power plant, it can be mined quickly!"
When Li Min said this, Dai Zhou almost went crazy.
The entire Tang Dynasty still used manual coal mining, but Li Min used machines.
Replacing labor with machines can increase efficiency by more than ten times.
As a result, the price will naturally come down.
Not only that, Li Min added: "Also, we use coal very sparingly. As for how to save, you follow me! Just take a look and you will know!"
Li Min walked in front.
Dai Zhou followed behind.
Feeling uneasy.
At the same time, I am curious about how Li Min did it!
Is this a miracle?
The two walked down one behind the other.
Dai Zhou still doesn't understand what Li Min means when he talks about using coal very sparingly.
Could it be that they only burned a little bit of coal to complete the heating?
Maybe that's all I can think of.
But everyone is the same, how could it be possible that Shengtang Group uses less of it?
With doubts, he followed Li Min.
On the way, they kept asking: "Sir, what does that mean? Can you tell me in advance now?"
At the same time, he didn't quite understand why Li Min told him this?
Is it because you are proud of yourself?
"You'll know when you get there! I can't tell you now!"
"Where are you going, sir?"
"Come with me to the heating room and have a look. You must know what it is! You don't understand what I'm telling you now, because there is no physical comparison. So, do you understand?"
"Yes! Sir! I know it!"
Dai Zhou didn't ask any more questions.
Just look at it and you'll find out!
So the two of them went down to the tenement building.
All the way to the left side of the tenement building is a wall full of huge boilers.
It's steaming now, it's very spectacular!
"This is?"
"These are boilers. Our heat supply is transmitted from these boilers to all parts of the Shengtang Group. This thing is much more comfortable than using electricity! And sometimes, you have to eat some ice to relieve the heat, otherwise people will not be able to bear it.
"
Dai Zhou was completely shocked by Li Min's words.
It's winter, and we still need to eat ice.
This behavior shocked Dai Zhou.
Does that mean that the heating supply above will have to catch up with summer?
If the palace can have such a thing, then why are the eunuchs still worried about frostbite?
Then no one will freeze to death!
Looking at these rows of large boilers, it looks like there are one big pot after another.
This is the first time he has seen this thing. In addition to being magical, it is also magical.
Why didn’t the palace think of using this method?
But if they thought of it, could they make it?
The craftsmen in the imperial palace are no better than those in the Shengtang Group.
The entire Shengtang Group has gathered a large number of skilled craftsmen, and the things they create are extremely difficult.
It's not something ordinary people can make.
However, this still does not explain why only a little coal is used.
"But sir, such a huge boiler will burn a lot of coal, right?"
"Let's go inside and take a look! The answer is inside. I will talk to you about it."
"yes!"
Then, the two of them walked inside.
What happened next shocked Dai Zhou even more.
There is such a thing in this world.
As he went deeper, he saw many people loading carts of black things into their cars.
The car is electric and has wires attached to it.
Not powered by batteries.
This thing looks like coal, but not like it.
Because he has never seen coal in this shape.
They are like jars, piled into hills.
Someone also sent these black things into the furnace under the boiler.
Lines of red fire began to burn.
He was standing near here, it was so hot here.
After only a few steps, I had to take off my clothes.
"Sir, this..."
Dai Zhou looked at Li Min and walked away.
He trotted over.
"Sir, what's going on?"
Li Min also stopped.
By chance, a car came over.
"Stop a moment, I'll get something out!"
"Sir, wait a moment!"
Driving humanely.
Then, the car stopped, and Li Min took out a black thing from the car.
"Okay, let's go!"
"yes!"
Dai Zhou looked on, wondering what Li Min was going to do.
