"Sir, what is this?"
Dai Zhou asked puzzledly.
"This is coal!"
"Coal? Why have I never seen coal like this!"
Dai Zhou took the coal tunnel in Li Min's hand.
The shape of this is simply wrong! And there are holes, which are man-made.
Li Min smiled.
"This is called briquette. It is a product made from coal that is wetted, stirred, and then punched out with a mold."
"This... is so amazing! But what's different about this thing?"
Dai Zhou said with some surprise.
Briquettes are called briquettes because they have many small holes and look like honeycombs. It is easy to store and retrieve, has long burning time, saves costs and other advantages, which has greatly improved people's living conditions.
Li Min used it because of cost issues and its many advantages.
The other party looked at it for a long time and then said:
"I looked at it and it seems that the briquettes are just in different shapes. You said they are used very sparingly. How is that reflected?"
He doesn't understand, it's just a different form, how can it be used sparingly?
"Look carefully, what's the difference in the material of this briquette?"
"I can't tell you. They're all black."
"The color is lighter than coal, isn't it?"
"This, it seems like this. Wait, is there some red soil here? Is this briquette mixed with soil?"
he was shocked.
Li Min said:
"Dai Zhou, you are very smart. You are right. These briquettes are made by adding soil and pressing them."
"Why?"
Why add soil? Is it the same as pretending to be fat? This was his first reaction.
“First, adding clay makes it easier to shape and the shape is stable and not broken.
Second, adding clay can extend the burning time. Make full use of coal. The longer the burning time is, the less consumption will occur. And this boiler does not need too much heat at one time, so the utilization efficiency is improved. "
As far as Li Min knows, the amount of soil mixed with each ton of coal is 300 to 500 kilograms.
At most it can be said that it accounts for half of the mass of coal.
"What Mr. Jing said makes perfect sense. I didn't expect that there was such a mystery in it. I didn't expect that this coal could be used in this way."
Li Min smiled again.
"It's not just that, look at these boilers. They are all heated uniformly without excessive heat dissipation. We have maximized the combustion efficiency to achieve the purpose of central heating. Naturally, the coal used is less, and the single It is a concentrated burning area, but the amount is about 13 less than usual.
Add these clays to extend the time.
Therefore, the amount of coal we use is one-third of the normal amount, or even less! This does not take into account our advanced mining equipment.
If we do the math again, our cost is extremely low, which saves a lot more than burning firewood! you say. Are our costs very low? This is why I brought you here to see it. Do you understand? "
Dai Zhou finally understood everything. This is what he is looking for!
He said very excitedly: "Sir, can this briquette technology be transferred to us? We can pay for it!"
How much money can the court pay? Li Shimin didn't have much money anymore, so any amount of money he said was a blank check.
Li Min said: "What do you mean by transfer? This was originally made for the people. We were originally going to promote it in the past few days, so that more people can use coal and make people's lives more convenient! If If you want it, I can provide you with these things!”
"Sir, you are such a kind man."
"It's just a small matter. If the people are good, our Shengtang Group will be better, right? After all, we also rely on the people. Without the people, there would be no Shengtang Group!"
"What you said is absolutely true. If everyone in the world could be like you, it would be great!"
"There are many people in the world who are like me, and they also care about the world!"
"Yes, yes! Yes, sir!"
"By the way, sir, how was this thing made?"
"Come with me!"
Li Min walked to the front.
Then they saw piles of coal.
Next to these coals are piles of dirt, which are mixed together.
Then it was stirred in a huge machine and mixed together thoroughly.
Then they entered the assembly line, the machines roared, and the coal began to be transferred...
After a while, a large amount of briquettes came out from the conveyor belt.
The workers then transported the briquettes to the edge to dry.
One by one, exactly the same.
Such assembly line production is fascinating.
If something can make something else, that must be great!
"Sir... what if the people make their own briquettes? They don't have machines! Do they want to buy it with you? Or what should I do?"
He got to the point!
Sell? Li Min doesn't know how to sell it. There is no profit from this thing. If you want it, make it yourself!
"Look there!"
Li Min pointed to the place beside him, where there was a T-shaped tool.
Dai Zhou was puzzled.
"This is?" "This is a mold for briquettes, which can artificially shape the coal slag into a uniform shape!"
"Huh? Such a simple thing can be so wonderful?"
"That's not true, look!"
Then Li Min walked over and picked up the mold.
He picked up the cinders on the side, then put them aside and pressed them with his hands.
A huge briquette appeared in front of me.
"This... is so amazing!"
Dai Zhou seemed to have no other words to say except "miraculous" at noon.
"Sir, can you lend me a favor?"
"Here, try it!"
"yes!"
Dai Zhou also tried it.
Sure enough, this thing is not difficult at all.
It can be said that anyone can use it.
It's just that the efficiency is much lower.
"It turns out this thing is so fun!"
"Is it fun? Then do more!"
"This thing takes too much effort! A machine is better!"
"Of course, if it can be replaced by machines, of course machines are the best! Human labor is used for more advanced things! For example, technology."
"What you said is absolutely true!"
Dai Zhou then said: "Sir, can I borrow this mold from my official position?"
"borrow?"
"Sir, if you have any difficulties, forget it. The current official didn't say anything!"
"We have such a good relationship, it would be too unreasonable to borrow it, so I'll give it to you. Anyway, I have tens of thousands of these!"
"Thank you, sir!"
Li Min knew that this guy must be talking to Li Shimin about what happened just now.
So, leave it to him.
This thing isn't worth anything anyway.
After Dai Zhou finished speaking, he seemed to remember something.
So, I wanted to say goodbye to Li Min.
"Wait a minute, then I will enter the Daming Palace to talk to His Majesty. Sir, take your leave."
"If you have something to do, go and deal with it. I just have to go to work! Farewell!"
"please!"
So, Dai Zhou took the briquette mold and went to the palace.
As soon as he left the Shengtang Group, he ran into an old acquaintance.
