No. 530: [Honeycomb Coal]

……

At the construction site of the Feixin Bureau, the foundation was laid on the first day, and after the foundation was laid, the work was stopped for a day to give the foundation time to dry down.

On the third day, the cement pillars were laid, and after the cement pillars were laid, they had to stop work for another day.

When the work was stopped, Li Chengqian took Foreman Lu to Heijin Mountain, where he planned to dig coal.

Foreman Lu is indeed a foreman's material, and after Li Chengqian told him how to dig coal and how to process coal, he designed a series of operation procedures for Li Chengqian.

As a foreman, he has almost perfected the allocation of manpower!

Li Chengqian admired himself, and then gave him the power and asked him to arrange it.

On the fourth day, Zhu Fatzi went to customize coal digging tools into the Black Gold Mountain one after another, and the blacksmiths in the palace also built a part of the Wenbo of the rail car, and they also began to move to the Black Gold Mountain to assemble. However, if all the rails are not installed, then it will not be used for the time being.

Because the cement plant was short of fuel, Li Chengqian let people start digging coal after the coal digging tools entered the mountain, and even if they couldn't transport it out for the time being, they pushed it first, waited for the rail cars to be loaded, and then let the rail cars continue to transport them out.

Foreman Lu looked at the black coal dug out by the soldiers, and asked Li Chengqian strangely: "Master Li, can this coal be burned like this?" ”

Li Chengqian said: "This will not work. ”

He turned his head, grabbed a blacksmith, and asked, "What about the honeycomb coal mold I asked you to make?" ”

The blacksmith hurriedly went to the pile of iron parts on the side, found one out, and ran back to Li Chengqian. said: "Your Highness, this is what you want?? ”

He only listened to Li Chengqian's words once. I don't know if this is what Li Chengqian asked for.

Li Chengqian looked at it. Then nodded, yes, it was the same as when I used to make honeycomb coal in the village.

His initial use of coal was to make honeycomb coal.

In fact, he doesn't know much about the use of coal, only that honeycomb coal can be used directly from raw coal.

And honeycomb coal, he has also done it before crossing, so he knows how to do it.

Two-tenths of charcoal powder, one-tenth of sawdust, and one-twentieth of yellow mud. Then add it with coal, stir it with water, print it with honeycomb coal mold, and then dry it, and then use it to burn.

Although there is no modern honeycomb coal with various combustion aids and oxides added, the effect may not be as good as modern honeycomb coal, but I believe it will not be too bad!

Li Chengqian called a soldier and told him to do as he was told.

The soldiers found all kinds of materials, and then beat honeycomb coal under the black gold mountain.

Watch more than twenty honeycomb coals neatly lined up in an open space. Li Chengqian said: "Tomorrow we will try to burn energy again!" ”

The next day, Li Chengqian went to Heijin Mountain, where Foreman Lu was already waiting.

"You don't have to be on the site today?" Li Chengqian asked.

"I've taught the little foreman who stayed there, and now you don't need a small one to do it there!" Foreman Lu said confidently.

Li Chengqian listened and nodded.

He looked at the honeycomb coals. The honeycomb coal had dried up, and he had firewood brought and a fire was lit. Then put the honeycomb coals on top of the fire.

After burning for a while, the honeycomb coal burned. Li Chengqian then asked people to clip out the burning honeycomb coal with iron tongs and put it in a furnace. The honeycomb coal that left the fire continued to burn, Li Chengqian looked at it, and asked people to add another honeycomb coal to it, and after about half an hour, after the honeycomb coal below was burned thoroughly, the honeycomb coal on the top was also burned.

Li Chengqian knew that he had succeeded, and he couldn't help but smile on his face.

Foreman Lu was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that this kind of black soil could really burn, and the temperature was higher than firewood. If you dig up this whole mountain of coal, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood to burn.

At this time, the blacksmiths brought more parts of the rail car, and Li Chengqian took the mold of honeycomb coal, gave it to the blacksmith, and said, "I have made ten molds of this." ”

"Whoa." The blacksmith answered.

The next day, the blacksmiths began laying the rails and loading the railcars.

The rails are actually a simple job, the road is leveled, and then a layer of sand and gravel is laid, and then wooden sleepers are placed, and then two steel bars are put on them and fixed on the wooden sleepers. That's what the railroad looks like.

This railway, from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain.

Li Chengqian does not plan to transport the coal out for the time being, but directly processes it here into honeycomb coal, and then transports the honeycomb coal out.

When the blacksmith master went down to the tomb, he saw the best way to use the manpower of the Lu foreman, and first took the small foreman to learn it, and then went to lead the soldiers, and after teaching the soldiers, he let hundreds of soldiers work together. There were more people, and the work was done quickly.

Now laying sand and gravel, laying wooden sleepers, putting rails, and fixing them are all heavy work. And it didn't take much skill, so the blacksmiths set their sights on the poor soldiers. As a result, more than a hundred soldiers were pulled down from the mountains to lay a railroad for them.

As soon as the railroad tracks were laid, construction began here, and the coal that had been piled up on the mountain for a day was pulled down by the railroad car, and Li Chengqian sent someone to call Zhu Fatzi and ask him to transfer other materials for honeycomb coal. If it can be transferred today, then tomorrow there will be honeycomb coal for the cement plant.

When Li Chengqian returned to Xiamaling, he saw that the construction site here was in full swing.

The floor on the second floor is nailing planks, and the people below are laying steel bars, which is the preparation for casting the floor on the second floor.

After Li Chengqian looked at it, he felt very satisfied.

He felt that he had been busy in the past few days, and he was a little tired, so he walked to Wangjiazhuang.

When Gui'e saw Li Chengqian, she sighed and said, "How did you get black?" ”

"Oh, just came from the coal mountain!" Li Chengqian smiled, most of the people who went to Heijin Mountain were darker than him, he just got some when he took the honeycomb coal mold.

"Come on in, I'll change it for you!" Gui'e pulled Li Chengqian and said.

Li Chengqian couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that Gui'e had prepared his own clothes here.

Gui'e felt Li Chengqian's gaze, and she was also slightly embarrassed, she explained: "What, I saw you get a lot of money over there a few days ago, and I came here to say that I would change my clothes, but I didn't have clothes and it was hard to speak, so I asked Fang Niang to go to the ready-to-wear store yesterday and you prepared two sets of ......."

Afraid that Gui'e would continue to be embarrassed, Li Chengqian took his clothes with a smile and went into an empty room to change.

Gui'e outside seemed to have returned to normal, and she was talking to Li Chengqian outside: "Chu Zhen, have you heard, the eldest son of the Wang family was arrested by the government yesterday!" ”
