Chapter 437

"In addition, we also need to crush ore and ore dress. In this way, the previous sulfur content can be reduced to about 30% of the past." Wang Yang explained with a smile.

"There is so much sulfur left? Can't we completely remove the sulfur?" Zhao Ji looked at Wang Yang with anticipation on his face.

"There is no way, large-scale industrial production cannot be completely eliminated." Wang Yangxin said that steel in the 21st century will still contain sulfur. After all, this thing is originally a large-scale application, so it cannot be used at the laboratory level to require it, right?

With the strong support of Chen Lao Blacksmith, on the sixth day, the four parts had excellent structures and hydraulic machinery using metal and wooden structures were released.

The hydraulic machinery used in the improved model is the same as the hydraulic machinery used in the hydraulic printing press. All places where it needs to be rotated are made of metal products, not only in terms of durability and wear resistance, but far exceeds the hydraulic machinery that directly uses pure wood.

In addition, in the absence of synthetic lubricating oil, using animal oils as warming agents is also a very good choice.

There are two crushers in total, one is a sledgehammer type, which is specially designed to deal with large pieces of ore, and the other is a crushing type, similar to a water mill, which still uses cast iron grinders and millstones.

The mill and the millstone alone consumed thousands of kilograms of iron. However, after having these things, the iron ore had been crushed into particles that did not exceed the size of rice, or even smaller powders.

Then the grinded ore powder is poured into the conveyor belt, then adsorbed through the magnet, and then passed through the scraper to the other conveyor belt.

Several experienced old craftsmen squatted there, rubbing the iron ore powder with their fingers, making Zhao Ji next to him anxious. "How are you, my father-in-law?"

"Young Master, such iron ore powder is too fine. We have never used it in the past. Moreover, such fine ore powder is not breathable at all. How can we smel it?" After discussing, several old craftsmen gave this answer.

"Of course not. These ore powders also need to add a certain proportion of coke powder and limestone powder, then mix it with water, and then knead it into a ball and fire it..."

"Ah..." Everyone looked at Wang Yang who was determined to command, thinking that this guy was not wrong, right? The ore before was fine, you insisted on crushing the ore, but now it's better, and you have to mix it up and then burn it.

"Listen to me, don't worry. If something goes wrong, Wang will naturally take responsibility." Wang Yang could only order forcefully when hesitant expressions of the old craftsmen.

There are many people and the strength is great, and the mixture is cooked quickly. What we get is mixed balls as small as half a fist. Originally, Wang Yang remembers that the smaller the better, but because of the fact that these people have two expressions like bitter gourd, and the shape of making them into such a ball is still due to the creativity of His Highness Duan, he brought one.

Next, there was a long wait, and Wang Yang watched the old craftsmen under the command of the old craftsmen, the young craftsmen began to lay materials, ignite fires, and began to smel.

Time passed by bit by bit, and the bored boss Wu couldn't help asking what the black tongs that Wang Yang had sent to the smelting workshop in the past two days was useful.

"Of course that thing is also used for smelting, but it is used directly to make steel, not iron." Wang Yang explained slowly while drinking tea.

"Making steel?" Zhao Ji and Boss Wu both stood up and looked at Wang Yang who was drinking tea leisurely in front of him.

"Well, this steelmaking method is neither a steel filling method nor a steel stir-fry method. It is a whole steel ingot made by directly using the raw smoke obtained from smelting and iron ore powder...."

"But whether this technology is feasible is still needed to be tested before we know that we should wait for the veteran drivers first. Oh no, it is the result of the smelting of the masters first."

"Sir, okay, even if you say you take off the solar energy in the sky, I can at least believe half of it. I really can't figure out what else you can do besides giving birth and feeding the child." Zhao Ji said with admiration on his face.

However, in addition to worship, there is also a kind of expression called numbness. After all, the impact it brings is too many and too great, making people confused.

"It's done, hurry up, scoop the iron, the bastard over there, don't prepare the mold yet... hurry up..." Just as the three of them were waiting to be drowsy, they suddenly heard an old voice full of breath.

Wang Yangteng stood up and walked quickly towards the other side. He happened to see a strong man holding a spoon and pouring the scooped iron into the mold next to him.

The molds were gradually filled, and as the temperature gradually began to solidify from the liquid, what appeared in front of Wang Yang and others were red cast iron ingots.

"How is it, Mr. Liu, is the amount of iron produced this time high?" Manager Wu also walked over and looked at the still red cast iron ingots.

"Hao, it's too high. Shopkeeper, you see, the furnace of iron we refined has only such a small amount of slag, less than one-third of the past, and it has refined so much pig iron." The old Liu head was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

"In the past, one furnace could produce at most 260 kilograms of iron, but now it seems that nearly 100 kilograms of iron will be added."

Naturally, someone next to him weighed a large scale, which made everyone present smile. At this time, another old craftsman said another exciting news.

"In the past, our two-meter-high iron smelting furnace could produce ten plates a day, which is only one day, and it could produce about 2,600 kilograms of iron. Now, the firepower of this coke is extremely strong, and the iron is much faster than in the past.

I guess, I may not have any problem producing twelve editions a day. If the pig iron of this edition is only 350 kilograms, then by counting this, you can get 4,200 kilograms of iron a day, and a total of 1,600 kilograms of pig iron..." The old craftsman is indeed a veteran, and the result will be obtained soon.

When everyone heard this news, they couldn't help but take a breath.

The stone in Manager Wu's heart finally landed on the ground, and he bowed deeply to Wang Yang with conscience. "You are really amazing, before, you did something like coking, ore crushing and ore dressing. Wu always thought that you are doing this in vain."

"But now I know that this is really called sharpening a knife and chopping wood."

"It's true that he is the top scholar who came to the earth to Wenqu Star, and he is not ordinary." The blacksmiths all looked at Wang Yang with awe and admiration.
