In fact, not only Zhang Hao was surprised, but also the other families.
But what surprised them was: The Zhang family could actually produce five masters of the Golden Core stage in one go?! Especially the leader, whose cultivation seemed to have reached the late stage of the Golden Core stage.
Zhang Shengye is very satisfied with the performance of his surroundings. Over this period of time, almost all the elixirs obtained by the Zhang family have been invested in the improvement of the family.
Some who have passed the test and reached the limit of cultivation will be the first to get the elixir and can quickly break through.
What surprised Zhang Hao was that he had never expected that his family would transport the steam turbine in this way.
In fact, Zhang Hao also expressed concerns about the transportation of bulky steam turbines before. The Zhang family's latest steam turbine can weigh more than ten tons; if a stable base is added, the weight may exceed thirty tons.
Such a huge weight cannot be dragged by ordinary carriages. Zhang Hao also thought about whether to get a carriage pulled by ten or twenty horses. But Zhang Hao forgot that this is the world of cultivation.
The five golden elixirs took action and brought the steam turbine directly from the Zhang family.
Dugu Junjie commanded very coquettishly, placing the steam turbine directly on a prepared granite base.
Then, he turned around and got busy again. Due to technical limitations, a production line requires at least three steam turbines.
Huang Mingshan’s commander will connect pipelines to the steam turbine, install reducers, various mechanical equipment, etc.
Everything is proceeding in an orderly manner. In order to keep up with the progress, the Zhang family directly moved some of their obsolete equipment over.
In the afternoon, more than two hundred carriages arrived, and a large amount of mechanical equipment was unloaded from the carriages. Everyone in Huang Mingshan divided the equipment into categories and placed them carefully.
In order to build a factory, serve the public, and produce profiles, the Zhang family came up with a very important technology this time - machine tools.
However, it is not a finishing machine tool, but a roughing production machine tool, which is mainly used to produce profiles, semi-finished products, etc.
Li Yousheng, Feng Tai and others looked at the strange machines all over the place, with expressions of curiosity on their faces - what are these?
Zhang Shengye didn't explain, he just directed his family to get busy. Under the eyes of Li Yousheng and others, these strange machines finally formed a complete production line.
They were familiar with this production line because they had seen several of them in the Zhang family before. However, at that time, the production line had not been dismantled.
Now seeing the Zhang family's 'craftsmen' assembling the production line with their own eyes, everyone immediately became interested.
Li Yousheng discovered the unfamiliar thing of machine tools right away.
Before, everyone was still thinking why the Zhang family wanted 80% of the shares. Now it seems that the Zhang family has taken out all its roots.
Li Yousheng pointed to the machine tool and asked Zhang Hao: "Xiannephew, what is this?"
"This is called a machine tool."
"What does that do?"
Zhang Hao smiled: "A machine that produces machines."
"ah……"
"Uncle Li, you will understand it when you see it for yourself when the machine tool starts running."
"Oh." Li Yousheng suddenly had more expectations in his heart, expectations for machine tools, expectations for the production line, expectations for the factory, and expectations for the future.
As night fell slowly, Huang Mingshan led everyone to Zhang Hao and reported the situation in a low voice.
The mechanical equipment used here were all eliminated by the Zhang family, but after debugging, they still have quite good capabilities. But what Huang Mingshan is most worried about is that if black iron is mass-produced, then one of the Zhang family's technologies will have to be exposed:
Inject air into the black iron!
Zhang Hao didn't even think about it: "Then let's make it public!"
"Ah..." Huang Mingshan was a little surprised. Next to him, Zhang Shengye was also very puzzled.
Zhang Hao smiled: "Second Uncle, our current core technology is steel technology. It's time to come up with this iron-making technology, so that the Xuantie Factory can produce more Xuantie and we can have more steel.
Of course, everyone involved in the production process must swear an oath of confidentiality. This matter will trouble my second uncle. The technology can be made public, but it can only be limited to the factory!"
"But... I still don't agree." Zhang Shengye was unwilling. It would be too cheap for them to make such a good technology public.
Zhang Hao smiled bitterly: "Second uncle, our family holds 80% of the shares of this Xuantie Factory; besides, technology is always improving. If we remain stagnant, autistic and conservative, how can we make progress?
Second uncle, a big ship made of steel is our goal!
In order to build steel ships as quickly as possible, we have to make some trade-offs."
Zhang Shengye walked out hesitantly. After a while, exclamations and dissatisfied voices came from outside.
Zhang Hao asked Dugu Junjie and others to protect Huang Mingshan and his party when they returned; the only ones left here were skilled workers from the Zhang family - they could no longer be called craftsmen.
Then, Zhang Hao came out to meet the tens of thousands of migrant workers and officially started building the second road: the road from Zhang's house directly to Luanci Mountain. This road was almost twice as long as the previous one.
In the middle of the night, Zhang Hao was practicing, and Zhang Shengye came in and said, "These bastards, let them swear an oath and talk about so many problems."
Zhang Hao opened his eyes and said with a smile: "If it were me, I would not be reconciled if I suddenly discovered such excellent technology and could only look at it."
"Hey. The technology is in our hands, they had to swear. Now it's ready and can start work."
In the middle of the night, no one was sleeping. There were people standing around the production line that had just been assembled.
Li Yousheng, Li Yuanyuan, Feng Tai, representatives of various families, and even important craftsmen in the family were all present. Everyone stood in the corner politely and said nothing.
Only the workers of the Zhang family were busy. Zhang Shengye personally directed them.
The water supply machine starts working, and the purified water flows into the water tower. When the water level reaches the appropriate position, open the gate again.
The water flow enters the pipe, and the high-temperature isolation formation below the pipe closes, and the ground fire begins to burn the pipe. Soon, steam appears on the other side of the pipe, and the pressure relief outlet of the steam pipe is outside the barrier.
When the steam spurted wildly, the workers opened the valve to the turbine and closed the pressure relief port.
The heavy steam turbine began to rotate slowly.
The steam turbine system at this time was very crude, but in the eyes of Li Yousheng and others, it was already a miracle.
After a minute of acceleration, the steam turbines began to roar; the previous cumbersomeness turned into majestic power. The three steam turbines rotated, and everyone felt that the earth was shaking under this power.
The workers immediately became busy. The clutch was put down and various machines started to move. As the workers operated, the entire production line came alive!
Pieces of ore, regardless of whether they were low-quality ore, were all thrown into the conveyor belt. The ore followed the conveyor belt and entered a millstone sealed by a formation barrier. The piled up ore was quickly crushed and entered into the water separation tank.
The water separation tank is divided into three levels. The water flow surges and the appropriate water flow speed completes the screening of ore powder.
The selected iron powder passes through a conveyor belt made of ordinary crude iron and passes above the ground fire. The water is evaporated and then enters the smelting furnace.
Selected bamboo charcoal is also poured into the smelting furnace little by little according to the proportion. When the smelting furnace is full, the smelting furnace is closed under the operation of workers, and is transferred along the truss to the ground fire to start heating.
The new smelting furnace came to the previous location and continued to fill with iron powder and charcoal.
