The shape of this one is simply wrong! There are also holes, which are man-made.
Li Min smiled.
"This is called honeycomb briquette. It is a product made by moistening and stirring coal, and then punching it out with a mold."
"This... is so amazing! But what's different about this thing?"
Dai Zhou said with some surprise.
Briquettes are named briquettes because they have many small holes and look like honeycombs. They are easy to store and retrieve, have a long burning time, and save costs, which have greatly improved people's living conditions.
Li Min used it because of cost issues and its many advantages.
The other party looked at it for a long time and then said:
"I looked at it and it seems that the briquettes are just in different shapes. You said they are used very sparingly. How is that reflected?"
He doesn't understand, it's just a different form, how can it be used sparingly?
"Look carefully, what's the difference in the material of this briquette?"
"I can't tell you, the official. They're all black."
"The color is lighter than coal, isn't it?"
"This, it seems like this, wait, there is some red soil here? Is this briquette mixed with soil?"
he said in shock.
Li Min said:
"Dai Zhou, you are very smart. You are right. These briquettes are made by adding soil and pressing them."
"Why?"
Why add soil? Is it like trying to make a fat person look fat? This was his first reaction.
“First, adding clay makes it easier to shape and the shape is stable and not broken.
Second, adding clay can extend the burning time and make full use of the coal. The longer the burning time, the less consumption. And the boiler does not need too much heat at one time, so the utilization efficiency is improved."
As far as Li Min knows, the amount of soil mixed with each ton of coal is 300 to 500 kilograms.
It can be said that at most it accounts for half of the mass of coal.
"What Mr. Jing said makes perfect sense. I didn't expect that there was such a mystery in it. I didn't expect that this coal could be used in this way."
Li Min smiled again.
"It's not just that, look at these boilers. They are all heated uniformly without excessive heat dissipation. We have maximized the burning efficiency to achieve the purpose of central heating. Naturally, the coal used is less.
It is to focus on burning this area, but the amount is about 1/3 less than usual.
Add these clays to extend the time.
Therefore, the amount of coal we use is one-third of the normal amount, or even less! This does not include our advanced mining equipment.
If we do the math again, our costs are extremely low, and we save a lot more than burning firewood! Do you think our costs are very low? This is the purpose of bringing you here to see it. Do you understand?"
Dai Zhou finally understood everything. This is what he was looking for!
He said very excitedly: "Sir, can this briquette technology be transferred to us? We can pay for it!"
How much money can the court pay? Li Shimin has little money left, and any amount he says is a blank check.
Li Min said: "What do you mean by transfer? This was originally made for the people. We were originally going to promote it in the past few days so that more people can use coal and make people's lives more convenient! If
If you want, I can provide you with these things!"
"Sir, you are truly a kind man."
"It's just a small matter. If the people are good, our Shengtang Group will be better, right? After all, we also rely on the people. Without the people, there would be no Shengtang Group!"
"What you said is absolutely true. If everyone in the world could be like you, it would be great!"
"There are many people in the world who are like me, and they also care about the world!"
"Yes, yes! Yes, sir!"
"By the way, sir, how was this thing made?"
"Come with me!"
Li Min walked to the front.
Then they saw piles of coal.
Next to these coals are piles of soil, which are mixed together.
Then it was stirred in a huge machine and thoroughly mixed together.
Then he entered the assembly line, the machine roared, and the coal began to be transferred...
After a while, a large amount of briquettes came out from the conveyor belt.
The workers then transported the briquettes to the edge to dry.
One by one, exactly the same.
Such assembly line production is fascinating.
If something can make other things, that must be great!
"Sir... what if the common people make their own briquettes? They don't have machines! Do they want to buy it from you? Or what should I do?"
He got to the point!
Sell? Li Min doesn't know how to sell. There is no profit in this thing. If you want it, make it yourself!
"Look there!"
Li Min pointed to the side, where there was a T-shaped tool.
Dai Zhou was puzzled.
"This is?" "This is a mold for briquettes, which can uniformly shape the cinders manually!"
"Ah? Such a simple thing can be so wonderful?"
"That's not true, look at it!"
Then Li Min walked over and picked up the mold.
He picked up the cinders on the side, then put them aside and pressed them with his hands.
A huge briquette appeared in front of me.
"This... is so amazing!"
Dai Zhou seemed to have no other words to say except "miraculous" at noon.
"Sir, can you lend me your envoy?"
"Here, try it!"
"yes!"
Dai Zhou also tried it.
Sure enough, this thing is not difficult at all.
It can be said that anyone can use it.
It's just that the efficiency is much lower.
"It turns out this thing is so fun!"
"Is it fun? Then do more!"
"This thing takes too much effort! A machine is better!"
"Of course, if it can be replaced by machines, of course machines are the best! Human labor is used for more advanced things! For example, technology."
"What you said is absolutely true!"
Dai Zhou then said: "Sir, can I borrow this mold from my official position?"
"borrow?"
"Sir, if you have any difficulties, forget it, the current official didn't say anything!"
"We have such a good relationship, it would be too unreasonable to borrow it, so I'll give it to you. Anyway, I have tens of thousands of these!"
"Thank you sir!"
Li Min knew that this guy must be talking to Li Shimin about what happened just now.
So, let him be.
This thing isn't worth anything anyway.
After Dai Zhou finished speaking, he seemed to remember something.
So, I wanted to say goodbye to Li Min.
"Wait a minute, then I will enter the Daming Palace to talk to His Majesty. Sir, take your leave."
"If you have something to do, go and deal with it. I just have to go and do some work! Farewell!"
"please!"
So Dai Zhou took the briquette mold and went to the palace.
As soon as I left the Shengtang Group, I ran into an old acquaintance.
