The planned laboratory is now filled with precious data, and the elements that make up the furnace are the natural enemies of data: flames and high temperatures. Looking at the bookshelves surrounding the entire second floor of the laboratory, Polu smacked his mouth: "
I'd better make room for the information."
In order to ensure the safety of the data, Polu could only move out of the laboratory. Fortunately, it is not the rainy season yet, and there will be no problem working in the open air. Polu first drew a sketch of his idea on the wooden board, and then left
Lea went to look after the house, and after taking Irene to talk for a long time by the river, she finally selected a platform that was obviously higher than the river bank. After the position was determined with the prepared small wooden strips, she then used lime to draw on the ground.
The scope of the foundation was determined. Originally, for the construction of the furnace, Bolu wanted to ask the craftsman who had previously learned to produce the furnace to come over and help, and stated that he could pay. But they directly rejected Bolu with an unacceptable quotation. "They clearly said.
I can't make a new stove anymore, so I'm so arrogant. What's the trump card?" Bolu couldn't figure out why this craftsman refused to help. "Forget it if you don't come, we can do it ourselves."
Although there were still a lot of control-grade materials in the manor's laboratory, it was a great temptation for Bolu. However, Bolu gritted his teeth and decided to take the low-cost route that was half of the ancestor's, and this led to the system
Great expansion in volume.
After seeing the furnaces in use locally, Polu was very dissatisfied with the efficiency of the furnaces. So what he wants to make now is not a replica, but an upgraded version with the concept of non-stop continuous production of modern blast furnaces. Although
Polu's understanding of iron-making blast furnaces is only a few simple diagrams and the extent of the Senate's turbulence. The production efficiency is definitely not very good, but it can't cope with the abundance of local ores! The fuel is almost free, so he doesn't pay so much attention to this performance and that.
Performance, it's so fast, just give it to me! If you don't arm yourself, insects will come to take advantage of you! Insects are either invisible or there is a sea of insects!
Thinking of this, Polu panicked. In order to speed up the progress of the experiment, Polu asked Irene to transfer a batch of furnaces from the iron factory to replace the resting craftsmen. After promising to double their wages, the craftsmen were full of enthusiasm for work.
With more people and greater strength, they dug the foundation at a very fast speed even though the foundation on the platform by the river was not big. The next morning, with dark circles under their eyes, they came to Polu to ask for today's work tasks.
I was shocked.
Soon, Polu discovered that the fundamental reason why Patrice, the Patriarch who came up with this system, did not have the courage to make the stove bigger and taller was because he had no useful materials at all. After asking around,
It was confirmed that there are neither refractory bricks nor refractory cement in this world, let alone refractory concrete. It turns out that the furnace built before was really just like the drawings, relying entirely on clay paste!
On the second day after construction started, the construction of the blast furnace came to an awkward halt. Polu had to stop in order to produce a batch of suitable materials for himself. If he wanted to increase the furnace temperature and make the furnace bigger, he would need a batch of refractory bricks.
When you want to make a batch of refractory bricks, okay, then you need to grind the slag into powder, then mix it with other materials and press it into a embryo and then fire it. So you need a grinding machine and a brick pressing mold. At this point
It can all be solved by hand, although it is a little slower, but it is enough. If we all pursue mechanization, I am afraid it will take a long time. So soon, Bolu decided to give up the pursuit and started to work on local methods.
Starting from scratch made Polu feel miserable. He had nothing and had to do everything he needed. If he made a deal with the devil and could get a system of 165 large-scale factories and 900 supporting projects, Polu would definitely do it without hesitation.
Sell it yourself for a good price!
Finally, the stone mill was ready, as was the brick press. Although the manual operation efficiency was a bit low, it could still be used. In order to have someone keep an eye on the construction site while he was away, Bolu asked Peter's father and asked Ge.
Aola was transferred to supervise the factory. During this period, there was an oolong incident such as Geola wrote a will and then came back to report. The workers were very happy, and they just took their time. However, when the first brick kiln was opened, the workers were very happy.
After the repairs were completed and the bricks were fired, Polu was in an embarrassing situation. The construction time had irretrievably exceeded the scheduled time!
During this period, apart from being on the construction site, Polu spent the rest of the time in the laboratory, concentrating on making the heating system of the blast furnace. The blast furnace, which is several times larger than the original version of the furnace, naturally requires several times more energy. It is planned to install 32
The energy-gathering array made of steel plates and copper wires has been completed, and there are even 10 spare parts. This part was made by Polu using the shaping spell, and it can be said to be the most sophisticated in the entire crude system.
part.
The part that Boru couldn't complete by himself was the key process of welding crystals in an environment of compressed magic power. Fortunately, the laboratory equipment in the manor was of a very high level. After all, it was only for the royal family to serve as an enlightenment laboratory.
, the cost was very high. Bolu's transformation according to the drawings was very smooth, and he quickly converted the laboratory furnace into a large-scale equipment that can perform magic crystal welding on steel plates up to 1.2 meters. In order to facilitate movement, Bolu
Lu even put wheels on it!
Leah goes to deal with the daily affairs in the mining area every day. In fact, Svito and Irene have already completed these affairs. What they send is basically just a report. In fact, it is to be a ruthless stamping machine. The task is completed.
From now on, Leah would go to the construction site together, and then read a book peacefully behind Bolu's back. Bolu was immersed in the production and couldn't talk. Maybe because he was too bored, Leah fell asleep on the table.
…
"Hey Leah, wake up!"
Leah rubbed her eyes: "What's wrong? Is everything okay? Let me sleep a little longer."
"It's done! I've completed the magic crystal wrapping process for the energy-gathering plate!"
Lia raised her head suddenly: "What! Is it done? So fast?! Oh, it's not a stove! You said you have a stove like this, it must have been seven days ago, why hasn't it been repaired yet? I'll go check it out in the morning
, the foundation is still a hole!”
Polu blushed and argued: "It's the first time I'm making a stove. It doesn't come with anything. It's more time-consuming. It'll be better next time."
"Hmph! Let me see what you just said."
Bolu became excited again: "I'll make one directly for you to see!"
"Caroline! Candice! Come help!"
After hearing the sound, Caroline and Candice helped Polu push the modified furnace, which looked about the same size as a wardrobe, out of the door, and then worked together to lift several steel energy-concentrating panels that had already been prepared as base plates.
Put it on the trolley and come under the original human-powered bridge crane that has been built.
By the way, this bridge crane was specially customized by Polu for this process, and he even made several hand-operated iron hoists. Originally Polu wanted to make a movable gantry with a height of four meters, but the local blacksmith made it
There was no steel beam four meters long, so we had to take a step back and build a fixed-frame bridge crane, which could be made of wood.
Bolu operated the steel hoist and put an iron chain. Thank God, the local blacksmiths can make iron chains. Finally, they have something they can do! Lower it from the crane, hang it in the mounting hole reserved on the base plate, and then pull the iron chain
Chain, the steel plate weighing nearly 200 kilograms was lifted into the air. After lifting four substrates in one go, Polu wiped his sweat: "Caroline! Pour the crystal!"
Caroline hurriedly ran over with a bucket of low-quality magic crystals, opened a trap door, and poured all these low-value crystal wastes in. Because the level was too low, there was no reserve in the manor.
Purchased from the market. "Lia! Look at it! Come, install the steel plate!" Two maids moved it
Climb up the ladder and guide the steel plate into the opening on the top of the furnace. And let the brackets in the furnace block the reserved mounting holes on the base plate. Then close the top of the furnace. If you can get a perspective from a crane, then you
You will feel that before closing the lid, this thing looks very much like a toaster for toasting slices of toast!
After confirming that everything was normal, they stepped back from the ladder: "The installation is complete!"
Polu proudly put his hands on his hips: "Now, it's time to witness the miracle. Miss, don't you come and try it?"
