Fan Xiaolin smiled: "I hope to get water and see what water without mud and dirt is like." ”

"Drinking it can make your skin better and keep you young forever." Wei Bao smiled slightly.

These words made Fan Xiaolin, Wang Qiuya and Xu Rui's eyes shine.

Wei Bao had breakfast and was about to go out with Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin.

Xu Rui is specifically responsible for taking care of Wei Dakang and Huang Ying, so Xu Rui sometimes eats breakfast with Wei Bao, and sometimes goes directly to Wei Dakang and Huang Ying.

Fan Xiaolin saw that Wei Bao glanced at Xu Rui several times when she left, and couldn't help laughing: "Anyway, there is no shortage of manpower, I see that there are more and more things around you, so let Rui'er come over and take care of your life with Qiu Ya, isn't it better?" ”

Wei Bao's heart moved when he heard this, as the stall became bigger, he felt that his corporatized management system was already a little unbearable, more than 3,000 people, in fact, it was okay, not to the point that it was too big to control, the key was that his stall was spread horizontally, not to say that a large chemical plant was opened, they were all the same type of work.

Like carpentry, stonemasonry, blacksmith, these are large series with different attributes, and each series can be divided into many types of work, which is a bit complicated. And there is also agriculture, and the division of labor in agriculture is also very fine.

He saw that Luo San was so busy that his feet couldn't touch the ground every day, and he often couldn't remember this or that, so he thought it was so.

Although there are only more than 3,000 people, he is not going to go to a large group and a large company, he is the master of these people, not only to manage their work, but most importantly, to live!

Therefore, it is reasonable for him to go to the organizational form of the government now, not to mention the general direction of the country, at least the direction of municipal management.

Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin saw that Wei Bao didn't speak, thinking about the way things were, and knew that Wei Bao listened.

Wang Qiuya said quietly: "Otherwise, you discuss it with Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei, I will swap it with Rui'er, let Rui'er take care of your life, and I will go to Uncle Wei and Aunt Wei to be a maid." ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Aren't there four or five maids on my father's side?" What do you want so many maids to do? You're still with me, I can't live without you. ”

When Wang Qiuya heard Wei Bao say this, her heart felt numb, her body seemed to be soft, and she hummed softly.

Wei Bao said to Fan Xiaolin again: "It's okay, you go and talk to my father and mother, and transfer Xu Rui to my side." The literate people in A middle school are Liu Chunshi and Xu Rui, if you and Qiu Ya can be with Xu Rui all day long, you can also be more literate. ”

"Okay." Fan Xiaolin didn't expect Wei Bao to agree to her 'proposal' so happily, her heart was a little sour, in fact, she just wanted to test it.

Now Wang Qiuya and Fan Xiaolin feel that they are lagging behind the silent Xu Rui, there are two powerful foreign enemies, Sister Fang and Zhao Jinfeng, which is enough to make people desperate, I didn't expect Wei Bao to value Xu Rui so much, the two of them originally wanted to compete for the second, but now they feel that it is a question whether they can keep the top three.

Although Wang Qiuya also felt sour, Wei Bao would secretly hug her and kiss her, her current mentality has calmed down a lot, thinking that as long as Wei Bao has herself in her heart, forget it, after all, she has refused to marry, and she has missed the biggest opportunity in her life without a long eye.

Wei Bao didn't notice the expression of the second daughter at all, and was completely immersed in the pleasure of expanding his career and establishing a system! He has never been so happy as he is now, especially when he thinks of the transformation from corporatization to government, and all the important personnel arrangements are handled by his own stomach, this kind of coolness is simply incomparable.

It's all soaring when you walk, and it's extra energetic!

Wei Bao went out, Lin Wenbiao was already waiting outside, not that Lin Wenbiao was prescient, in fact, Lin Wenbiao got up very early every day, now he is the identity of the steward, there is a single cabin not far from Wei Bao's house, and the people at the level of stewards now have such a cabin, and the era when Luo San was stunned and Fan Datou, Liu Chunshi and others originally squeezed together to sleep has become a thing of the past.

Lin Wenbiao got up so early every day and waited outside the child's house, on the one hand, he was thinking about things in the cold wind, and it was also convenient for people to find him, and on the other hand, he was afraid that the son would get up earlier than himself, and it would be bad to let the son wait.

Wei Bao said to Lin Wenbiao: "You don't have to get up so early to wait for me here in the future." ”

Lin Wenbiao nodded and said, "Yes, Childe." ”

"I'm not saying it's bad, you don't have a lot of things to do now, after I get up, let people call you, and I won't delay my efforts. You arrange for people to find a few literate people, who are from poor families and have no hope of taking the imperial examination, to teach and do things in Benjia, why can't you find such people? "After Fan Datou and Liu Chunshi worked in Beijing, during this time, Lin Wenbiao was responsible for the recruitment work that Fan Datou was responsible for, so Wei Bao wanted to say this to Lin Wenbiao.

Lin Wenbiao said: "I have been looking for it carefully, and I also told the people below, but there are too few literate people, especially here in Yongping Mansion, and there are few literate people who come in from outside the gate. ”

Wei Bao nodded and said, "Well done!" ”

With that, he went to check the progress of the copper pipes and the cistern.

Lin Wenbiao felt that Gongzi seemed to be different from before, his voice was a little higher, his speech was a little more accented, and his walking steps were also big and urgent, as if he was particularly excited, and glanced at Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya, but both of them were not very interested, and they didn't understand what the situation was.

Several copper pipes have been built, and it is not enough, and it is expected to be completed tomorrow.

The cistern has been built, but it will have to wait for it to dry, the weather is very dry, and it will be almost finished tomorrow.

Wei Bao commended the blacksmith who made the copper pipes and the craftsman who made the cistern, and then went back.

Wei Bao said to Fan Xiaolin with relief: "Tomorrow at noon, we should be able to start coming out of the water!" ”

Fan Xiaolin smiled: "They are all quite capable, let's sleep, I didn't expect them to do so many things." ”

After speaking, her face blushed, and she felt that the phrase let's sleep was a problem, as if she and Wei Bao slept together.

Wei Bao caught this sentence problem, but he didn't take the opportunity to laugh at Fan Xiaolin, smiled slightly, and prepared to go back and continue to fiddle with those mobile phones.

At this time, Luo San was stunned and came to Wei Bao for something: "Childe, are some people transferred back to continue logging?" The amount of wood used is too large, so many people have to burn a lot of wood every day, and it is not enough to wait for the steam engine to burn every day. ”

Wei Bao suddenly remembered something: "Isn't there a lot of coal in our mountains?" Take someone to the coal mines! ”

Although Wei Bao knows that coal mining is not a simple matter, he is now accustomed to this way, no matter how difficult it is, it is also given with a very simple order, no matter how hard and tiring it is, there are people to carry it! Let them move first, and then participate in solving the problem themselves when they encounter a problem that they can't solve.

The longer he stayed in this area, the more familiar he became with the environment of this area, the more Wei Bao understood why in the later generations, this place will become the country's heavy industry base, mainly because of the convenience of material collection, all kinds of minerals are too rich, and he wants to have everything, as far as the minerals marked on his modern map, there are hundreds of kinds near Qinhuangdao!

"Coal mining?" Luo San was stunned and immediately made a bitter face, there was not enough manpower for logging, and now Gongzi is still in a hurry to beat out the foundation of the hundreds of miles of city walls, and he has to use manpower everywhere, and now there is a coal mining: "What's the use of Gongzi asking for coal?" Let's just burn wood, right? ”

Wei Bao smiled slightly, thinking about how to explain, people in this era already knew that coal could be used as fuel, but because wood was easier to obtain and enough to supply living needs, coal did not enter the lives of ordinary people on a large scale, and even in the northeast, where there are open-pit coal yards and unique environments, coal is not widely used as fuel.

Coal is used in coking to produce coal tar and ammonia. Coke is an important raw material used in ironmaking.

Coal tar can extract a variety of important compounds for industrial use. Many people think that coal gas is made from coal, but the fact is that coal gas is made from naphtha refined from crude oil.

Coal can also be vaporized directly to produce water gas (a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen), which can be used directly as a clean fuel.

As far as Wei Bao's barren life knowledge is concerned, he also knows that coal is the country's main energy source, and in modern times, how many rural households will go to logging? Either use briquettes, and most people use liquefied gas directly.

And not only to meet the needs of life, but also to achieve industrialization, and in the future, steel and iron making also need a lot of coal!

As an important raw material for ironmaking, coke plays a key role in the quality of pig iron, if the sulfur and phosphorus content are high, the quality of pig iron will be seriously reduced, and the calorific value will be reduced if the ash content is high.

Therefore, the coal used for coking must be washed to reduce its ash and sulphur content.

The coke produced must be large and solid, and cannot be crushed in the blast furnace so that it can be ventilated.

The selected coke can only be used as fuel, and the crushed coke is a good fuel because it has a large calorific value and does not smoke.

Coal gasification can also be used to produce syngas, which is a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases.

Syngas is usually used to produce electricity by burning it in gas turbines, however, the versatility of syngas through the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis process also allows it to be converted into transportation fuels such as gasoline and diesel.

Fuel for automobiles is produced from coal and natural gas.

Coal liquefaction is used to produce liquid synthetic fuels from coal: methane, and petrochemicals.

Coal liquefaction is divided into two types: direct liquefaction and indirect liquefaction. Direct liquefaction means carbonization and hydrogenation.

Indirect liquefaction is to gasify coal first to produce water gas, and then synthesize fuels such as ethane and ethanol, and can also further synthesize fuel oil.

Coal is an important raw material for the production of many fertilizers and other chemical products. The main way to produce these products is through coal gasification to produce syngas. The production of primary chemical products directly from syngas includes methanol, hydrogen and carbon monoxide, which are the basic components of chemical products, from which the manufacture of the entire spectrum of chemical products can be continued, including olefins, acetic acid, formaldehyde, ammonia, urea, etc.

As a precursor to primary chemicals and high-value derivatives, the versatility of syngas provides an option to use relatively inexpensive coal to produce a wide range of high-value commodities.

Historically, the chemical production of coal has been used since the 1950s and has established a market.

These are the knowledge that Wei Bao obtained when he sorted out the information of the 'crossing enthusiast brother', anyway, coal is very important, if oil is the blood of industry, coal is the muscle of industry! It's time to develop muscle!

"Wait until the coal is mined. You know how much better coal is than wood, and using trees as fuel is both wasteful and destroys the ecological balance. "Although now is the time to take charge of development, but Wei Bao has a strong sense of environmental protection since the beginning of industry, as a small citizen, in modern times, he has not enjoyed much industrial benefits, but the environment that is constantly destroyed is deeply impressed.

Luo San was stunned when he saw that Gongzi insisted, so he had to remind: "Childe, how many people do you have to send?" Where there is coal, the rock layer is thick and hard, which is much more difficult than cutting down trees! ”

Wei Bao thought for a moment and asked, "What do you mean?" You don't want people to dig with a shovel and a shovel, do you? ”

Luo San was stunned and said, "Then how do you mine coal?" ”

Wei Bao Khan, only then did he remember that he had almost forgotten that he was a modern person and was talking to a Ming man.

Most bituminous and anthracite coal is obtained by deep coal mining, while modern technology has made it possible to use open-pit coal mining.

Open-pit coal mining involves the use of large excavators capable of removing hundreds of tonnes per hour, removing hundreds of feet of surface soil.

Typical deep coal mining methods range from hundreds of feet to thousands of feet and usually require several vertical shafts to be ventilated to pump out methane and reduce heat and humidity inside the pit.

More than 90% of the coal fields use mechanical coal mining and transportation, so the transportation in the tunnel mainly relies on conveyor belts, which transport the coal to the vertical shaft, and then send it out of the ground for cleaning, sorting and other treatments.

Of course, there were no large excavators of hundreds of metric tons in this era, and there were no mechanical conveyor belts, so they could only dig with their bare hands, but if they dug rocks with their bare hands, then they had to get the Year of the Monkey?

"With fried buds! You know? Explode! Since you know where there is coal, you blow it up and dig it again. After Wei Bao finished saying the word "bomb", he suddenly had a very refreshing feeling, in modern times, as a small citizen, where can he dare to discuss this casually, this is illegal, and it is a felony like possession of firearms, but in Daming, especially in his own territory, he can bring it up with confidence.

At this moment, not only Luo San was stunned, including Fan Xiaolin and Wang Qiuya beside Wei Bao, as well as a few personal followers, and the faces of more than a dozen people were pale with Wei Bao's fright.

Wei Bao didn't think that in Daming, Huo Bao violated the law, but thought that these people had not been exposed to Huo Bao Li.

It's strange, I secretly think that black powder is one of the four great inventions of ancient China, haven't you heard of this?

With a history of more than 1,000 years, it is mainly used in the military as a propellant for guns and shells, propellants for rockets and other driving devices, and is an important part of ammunition.

China was the first country to invent the fire leaf, and the black fire leaf seems to have been widely used in the late Tang Dynasty, right?

According to Wei Bao's knowledge, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the black fire was introduced into the military, becoming a new type of weapon with great power, and caused major changes in strategy, tactics, and military science and technology.

The initial fire weapons had poor explosive performance and were mainly used for arson. With the improvement of the process, the explosive performance of firearms has been enhanced, and new types of firearms have been emerging.

Even in the twentieth century, the Eighth Route Army was still fighting with black firewood weapons.

Didn't you shoot firecrackers before digging the well the day before yesterday? Isn't that a fire?

In the Ming Dynasty, it was used for the civilian side to make fireworks and firecrackers for festivals, and was also used for quarrying, logging and blasting in mines.

"What's wrong with you?" Wei Bao saw that everyone didn't give him a reaction for a long time, and couldn't help asking, "Don't you know that Huo Bao can blow up stones?" ”

"I know, I know, but where can I get it?" Luo San asked with a bitter face.

Wei Bao sweated: "Where did the firecrackers come from?" Didn't someone shoot firecrackers during the Chinese New Year? When I was digging a well the day before yesterday, didn't I also shoot firecrackers? Inside the firecrackers is a firecracker. ”

"Firecrackers are only available in the stores designated by thousands of households, and they also have to be bought by the head of each A, and sometimes they have to be accompanied by Lizheng, which is very troublesome, and expensive, and the number is small, except for major things, generally reluctant to hit firecrackers, blow up stones, and get a lot of firecrackers, right?" Luo San was stunned.

Wei Bao snorted, and then he understood, this guy originally thought that the raw materials were not easy to get, "It's not easy to get, you have to get a way!" ”

Lin Wenbiao saw that Luo San was stunned and speechless, so he helped to rub his lips and said: "Childe Qiyu, I can get it, but if people find out, I am afraid that it will cause trouble for Gongzi, and if we let the government know that we have made a bomb without permission, this is a serious crime." ”

Wei Bao sighed again, only then did he understand that Da Ming was not allowed to do these casually, and secretly thought that even weapons and iron weapons were controlled, and of course things like explosives had to be controlled, so he was stunned and said angrily to Luo San: "Why didn't you say it earlier?" I thought you hadn't heard of fried mushrooms. ”

"I've heard of it, when Childe was a child, I also took Childe to make fried leaves." Luo San was stunned and said aggrievedly: "I don't know what to say, Childe still don't touch this kind of thing, spread it out, it is known by outsiders, it is really troublesome, I don't know how to persuade Childe." ”

"Yes, Xiaobao, even if you secretly get the materials without being discovered, the blasting stones will definitely make a lot of noise, right? I can't hide this thing if I want to, just burn wood, why do you want to mine coal? Fan Xiaolin also persuaded.

"Be sure to mine coal! Coal mining does not violate the Ming law. Wei Bao said resolutely: "As for the fried belly that will cause big trouble if it is known, then don't let people know!" As for the commotion, there was an earthquake just now, and it exploded at night, and others thought it was an aftershock, but it's okay! ”

Seeing that Wei Bao was so resolute, everyone was silent.

Wei Bao didn't really want to take this kind of risk, mainly because coal is too important, without coal, there can be no industrialization, he looked at the information collected by the 'Dream Crossing Giant Brothers' yesterday, seven or eight out of ten are industrial materials related to the raw materials of coal, not even coal, how to proceed to the next step?

Madman Tan, who didn't speak much, said: "This is on me!" Childe, the old forest has hidden some saltpeter and sulfur. As long as you add charcoal ash, you can make fried leaves! ”

Lin Wenbiao also remembered when he heard this, nodded and said, "What Brother Tan said is that we used to dig holes in the mountains and buy it, right?" These things can only be known if you are in charge, as if I heard Brother Tan say it once. ”

Madman Tan said: "Not only did he dig holes in the mountains, but he also prepared the government brigade to come and suppress us. ”

Wei Bao smiled: "Okay! Crazy Tan, you take someone to pick it up at night, and take a look at it by the way, what else can Lao Linzi bring, this trip is all clean! "I didn't expect the raw materials of Black Fire Leaf to be so easy to obtain, which made Wei Bao very happy.

"This matter is kept secret, as far as the people here know, don't spread it anymore, Crazy Tan, you will do fried it, right?" Wei Bao asked again.

Madman Tan nodded and said, "Yes, pay attention, it's okay if you don't encounter Mars when you concoct." ”

Wei Bao was overjoyed: "I didn't expect you to be an all-rounder." ”

Madman Tan smiled: "Most of the willows are all-rounders, and many things are inconvenient to buy in the market, so they are all made by themselves." ”

Wei Baoxi said: "Then how many people are proficient in making fire buds?" ”

"There are three of us in the old forest! Now it's all under Childe's hands. Madman Tan replied.

"Well, hurry up and find all three of them, you don't have to do anything in the future, and you will be specially transferred to Lin Wenbiao to be responsible for this matter." Wei Bao was overjoyed, and he had already planned to start a military industry in the future, and these three people could be regarded as sparks! He said to Lin Wenbiao again: "You can find two more people from the blacksmiths, it is best to be someone who is proficient in blacksmith skills and is also familiar with the production of fried leaves!" Formed into a group that specializes in tinkering with this kind of stuff, you know what it does, right? ”

"Yes, Childe, I know." Lin Wenbiao suddenly remembered something, and said to Wei Bao: "Son, haven't the Wu family and the Wei Commander have already agreed to build the river embankment and seawall ourselves?" If you want to build a dam, you must use explosives! We can ask the commander of the guard to buy some back, and then prepare a large number of them ourselves, and then it will be justified! ”

Wei Bao nodded happily and said: "Yes, don't be busy denying it first, think about what works first, and use your brains on the way to success, won't you come up with all the solutions?" There are people, there are things, and the justifiable method has been figured out! Get moving! ”

Everyone hurriedly said yes and went separately to do something, knowing that Wei Gongzi was in a hurry, and the things he explained were all going to be effective immediately.

Wei Bao hurried back, to complete the data collection as soon as possible, and when the materials were brought back, see if he had the idea of upgrading the black fire to a smokeless fire fire directly! After all, the cost of black fire is high and the effect is poor.

Although he is a novice in science and technology, there are still some common sense things, but in modern times, these materials are strictly controlled, and the dissemination is illegal, and I don't know if the giant brother has collected it. That guy collected several G's of information, and Wei Bao didn't look at it carefully yesterday.
