Chapter 33 Big Coal Mine
Yun Xiao sat on the stone mill and gnawed on the sugar cake without a bite, and fed the sky in his arms from time to time. Xiaobai lay asleep not far away, and he didn't know how much he drank, and he didn't know how much wine those bear children drank for him, and he probably had to sleep for a while.
The servants of the Yun family were all busy, and there was not a single idler in the entire courtyard.
The first family was finally gone, and the emperor was still leaving with an egg flower hanging behind his ear. Fortunately, Xiaobai was the auspicious Rui in the mouth of the Queen Mother and was not shot, and the bear and the tiger teamed up to subdue the drunk and troublesome Xiaobai. The Son of Heaven was very angry with the concubines' ** catharsis, and the rewards received by the Yun family were flown away from the clouds.
Yun Xiao didn't bother with Xiaobai's rampage and losing the reward, this thing has been full of blood and dirt since the day he was born. It's good to be an idle marquis by yourself, and look at the current situation, and history is moving according to its own trajectory. The Han Dynasty will have a long period of leisurely life, and it is good to live happily for decades. Why bother to camp in that muddy pond by yourself, in the end, it is an extravagant hope that the political family will die a natural death in the end.
Looking at Yun Xiao's sad face, Cang Tian stretched out his white and tender little hand and handed it to Yun Xiao. Cang Tian is a qualified and well-behaved baby, who does not cry or make trouble, often grinning with a fleshy little mouth, and the angelic smile is so innocent. The funniest thing for the Yun family after dinner was to take a piece of candy and tease the babbling sky, and let him call him uncle, uncle, and aunt.
Wei Qing and Wei Ya often take some fruits and tease the children to call them brother and sister. The whole scene was happy, and everyone had a childlike smile on their faces, even the fierce-looking Canghu.
At that time, the child didn't know how to say a few words, only kept calling his mother. Aunt Guan Wei also called Wei Qing, and everyone said that he shouted wrong and didn't give him candy to eat. The sky will put its arms around the neck of adults, and the fleshy little mouth will be imprinted on people's cheeks, let's take a bite. He took the spoils from the hands of the adults by himself, and then smiled slyly, and his big eyes narrowed into a slit, making the adults burst into laughter again.
After people's unremitting efforts, Cangtian can finally speak, uncles and aunts are called in a correct and round manner, and this child can also recognize people, there are dozens of people in the Yun family, and this child has not been called.
Sometimes Yun Xiao would deliberately put on a straight face and pretend to be very angry to tease the sky. The sky will blink with big pale blue eyes, and long eyelashes will flicker.
After looking at it for a while, he would hand the rock candy or wooden ball in his hand to Yun Xiao. Yun Xiao guessed that Cang Tian was comforting Yun Xiao with something he thought was very expensive, trying to make Yun Xiao happy.
If Yun Xiao still had an unhappy expression, the sky would lower his eyelids. "Oh oh" twice in his mouth, he raised his head again after a while, stood up, stretched out two little arms like green onions, grabbed Yun Xiao's two ears, put his wet little mouth up, and kissed Yun Xiao's cheeks. When kissed by his wet little mouth, everyone couldn't help laughing, and he would laugh along, with a little cunning on his face.
Cangtian is the angel on the Yunjia Zhuangzi, and he is the only one who can bully Xiaobai, no one is willing to touch Xiaocangtian's fingers, and the goshawk will sometimes be scolded by everyone when he roars twice.
Looking at the messy sky with clear eyebrows, I really don't know how many big girls in Zhuangzi this kid will harm when he grows up.
When it was almost dark, the fisherman returned. There were eight Hun men who came back with him, and the eight men carried something the size of a round table together, and the sky was too dark and the clouds were not clear to see.
"Moment, it's a good thing, it's a good thing. Today the soldiers drove us into the mountains, and we stumbled upon a carboniferous mine. This is a big piece of coal that we picked up, you see. ”
What, something the size of a round table is actually a lump of coal? What kind of mine is this? I hadn't heard of any coal mines around Lishan, so Yun Xiaohu suspiciously leaned over to check the super-large piece of coal by the light of the torch.
The black coal reflected the light of the torch, and Yun Xiao called for a sledgehammer to crush the coal with all his might. There was not a single impurity in it, it was all black and shiny coal. Picked up a few pieces and ran to the kitchen to fill the stove, and soon the flames were buzzing. It took a whole hour for the coals to burn. Pulling the soot, the silver-gray soot condensed but did not disperse, and when you used force, it became a pile of powder.
High-quality coal, the quality is estimated to be the standard for anthracite.
Yun Xiaole's snot bubbles are about to come out, and he is worried about the firewood and grass of the farmers in winter. In previous years, the straw of wheat was filled into the stove and burned, but this year Yun Xiao wanted to burn the straw in the field to increase fertility, which caused the dissatisfaction of the boss of the farmers, and finally used the big stick of the tiger to suppress it.
With these high-quality coals, there is no need to worry about burning them this winter.
The excited Yunxiao asked the old fisher to take him into the mountain to watch overnight, and the Cang brothers were relieved and insisted on coming over.
At night, the mountain is as black as ink, and the burning torches can only illuminate a few steps away. The group walked with difficulty, looking at the steep mountain road and Yunxiao was a little worried, even if they successfully found the coal mine, it was still a big problem to get it out.
The night owl kept crying, which made Yun Xiao's heart a little hairy. He had never entered the mountains at night, although he often went into the mountains with a tour group in his previous life, but as soon as it was dark, Yun Xiao would immediately set up camp. Never walk the mountain trail at night, even if you don't think about the supernatural legends. Even if you walk in the dark at night, it will be fatal, not to mention that the mountain road is rugged, and there are often obstacles such as gravel and dead vines. If you accidentally fall down the mountain, Bacheng will have to give an account of his life. Now Yun Xiao regrets that he rushed into the mountains rashly, and waiting for a night seems to be the best choice.
When he reached the top of a peak, Yun Xiao decided to set up camp here. Going down the mountain in the dark is definitely more thrilling than going up the mountain in the dark, and today is exciting enough, Yun Xiao doesn't want to make any more trouble.
Canghu dug a pit with a sapper shovel, and the Huns found many dead branches. Lighting a bonfire in the mountains late at night is not only a need for warmth, but more importantly, a psychological comfort. As long as it is accompanied by heat and light, people will feel safer in their hearts.
Yun Xiao misses Xiaobai a little, and now Xiaobai can be regarded as the king here. It's too close to people, there are no large tigers and bears, and only small animals like wolves and foxes are predators. These guys are like Tyson vs. Aunt Zhao Lirong for Xiaobai, and there will be no suspense.
In terms of body, speed, agility, and strength, Xiaobai is the overlord of this mountain forest.
The campfire deterred the beasts that tried to approach, and the sense of security made people feel a little sleepy. When the light was shining, everyone in the group was almost asleep. Only the goshawk who kept vigil was an exception, and for some reason, the goshawk was panicked at all this night.
The light began to shine, and the goshawks woke up the sleeping people one by one. Dew wetting the body will make you sick, and finally woke up Yun Xiao who was draped in a blanket, and the only blanket in the team had to be draped on Hou Ye's body.
They traveled for another two hours, and it was not until the sun rose that the clouds came to the mine. The large bare coal seam shocked Yun Xiao's heart, this is simply the best bonanza. Large coal seams are exposed in the open air, and can be mined by manpower.
Yun Xiao happily climbed up the cliff, and fell down without paying attention to the soles of his feet and tilted his head. The body rolled down with the rubble, and the crowd hurriedly stepped forward to help Hou Ye up.
Yun Xiao held a gray-white stone silly, and everyone looked at each other, Hou Ye was stupid. Yun Xiao touched the stone in his hand like a baby, and the associated ore is fucking refractory clay, which became gray-white because of the high magnesium content, and Yun Xiao broke his head to get what he wanted to get out.
Sledgehammer's steelmaking plan was severely frustrated, and the temperature of the coke production was too high, already higher than the heat resistance limit of ordinary bricks. After several attempts, he was unsuccessful, and he also burned a disciple of the Gong School.
With this refractory clay, as long as the refractory bricks are burned, a qiē will be solved. The sledgehammer would soon be able to produce steel beyond any level in the world, and only Yun Xiao knew how important steel was to people.
With mild steel Yunxiao, you can make the world's most wear-resistant farm tools, the hardest and sharpest saber. Even the most protective armor, reinforced buildings are the strongest in the world. It is impossible to imagine how much impact these ores have on this world.
Only Einstein's theory can be compared to Yun Xiao's discovery, but Mr. Ai will not come out more than 2,000 years later. Now he is in a liquid state in the body of his ancestors for several generations.
But soon Yun Xiao wanted to cry without tears, and his group walked so hard. How the is this ore going to be transported, when Yun Xiao scratched his ears and couldn't think of a way.
The old fisherman walked up, and when he asked, he understood the reason for Hou Ye's sorrow. The old fisherman patted his chest and said that it was wrapped around him.
Yun Xiao was very surprised and asked the old man what he could do.
"Don't be in a hurry, you can solve the problem with the pulley invented by the moment, supplemented by a rope."
Yun Xiao looked at the Yun family Zhuangzi at his feet in the distance and patted his forehead. Damn, how did you forget this thing about ziplining. The pulley can significantly reduce friction, and only two ropes are needed to achieve the purpose of transporting it down the mountain. I've been learning mechanics for four years, so why haven't I even forgotten about this?
Just when Yun Xiao was secretly rejoicing, Canglan came over panting.
Sorry, there are so many typos in this chapter. The Dragon King had no choice but to post it again. What I read yesterday can be skipped today, and the dragon king will carefully review the manuscript in the future and apologize again. The Dragon King respects.
