The batch of official mines bought from Ma Yongsheng was simply not enough.
A cement workshop built three experimental turbine waterwheels, an automatic mixer and a gravel crusher, as well as a large number of spare parts. The inventory was completely exhausted.
At least one-third was lost before and after, and the yield was extremely low.
The technology is immature and there is no way to just rely on hand rubbing.
It is not realistic to have a technical iteration of this thing at the moment.
Iron-making workshops still have no way to consistently produce high-quality steel.
The blast furnace has taken shape, and carbon control technology now has relatively precise processing methods.
Sharing is sharing, but some things can be learned without teaching, just having hands.
There is only one blacksmith named Huang in the ironmaking workshop who can produce high-strength forged steel with probability. The more important parts and components are now all produced by Master Huang.
The control of heat, precise carbon control, etc. can only be judged by experience.
Moreover, this Master Huang could not get it out every time, and the car overturned a lot of times.
Now everyone is summing up their experiences and learning from each other. At the same time, they are also beginning to learn Chinese characters and look for inspiration from books such as Industrial Records and Hundred Things Map.
In short, the general direction is correct. If you want technological breakthroughs and large-scale promotion, you can only rely on accumulation.
Of course, the premise is that there must be enough iron ore to deal with.
Zhu Jiahui hasn't returned to Qingzhou yet, and Bai Hupao who followed him hasn't sent back any news.
It had been almost a month, and Chen Ze had to prepare for the worst.
It's possible that people won't be able to come back.
Black mines are inherently risky, and anything could happen on the way.
Therefore, if the black mine road really fails, Chen Ze may have to consider discussing with the palace to acquire an iron mine to supply the production needs of his own iron-making workshop.
Xie Rongchang's Lanxi land reclamation brigade does not expect to find any underground mineral veins. The probability is too low to be realistic.
Moreover, the land reclamation brigade is still roaming around Qingzhou Prefecture, looking for suitable land reclamation sites.
It is not that there are no alternative plans at present, and several areas with potential for land reclamation have been found.
The water source is sufficient, the terrain is relatively flat, and there are some people living there, but you have to walk through the mountain road to get in, so it is very isolated.
The location is not very good, surrounded by mountains. If you want to try to open up wasteland, you have to open a mountain road.
At the moment, I am just waiting and watching, searching more. If there is no better choice, I will decide to choose one of these for land reclamation.
The consumption is also quite large. After all, there is no stable food source along the way. Hunting depends on luck and there is no stable food source. You can only buy food from the passing villages, or barter, and sleep in the open air. People and horses are exhausted. This kind of Under the circumstances, it is estimated that it is unlikely to persist for too long.
The last news was half a month ago.
Xie Rongchang wrote a relatively detailed report on the situation.
I saw a lot of strange and weird plants, which were either too unpalatable or poisonous.
It’s not that there was no harvest. I found a wild legume plant, which is non-toxic and edible. I opened up a small piece of wasteland in the area where I found it, transplanted it and planted it. I left three families behind and built straw sheds to guard it. .
We also saw some unique animals and plants, and dug up many medicinal herbs.
etc.
Exploring wasteland is also very exciting to a certain extent, because all you explore are areas that are not well known to the public.
In the blink of an eye, August 15th is approaching.
Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
If it weren't for the news from the palace, Chen Ze almost didn't realize that the Mid-Autumn Festival was coming soon.
I was so busy that I even forgot what month and day it was.
The countryside has begun to prepare for the autumn harvest, and in some places it has even begun to harvest grain.
"This is my first Mid-Autumn Festival in Dachu..."
Chen Ze couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Even before time travel, he had not gone home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival with his parents for several years. Usually, he would just make a video call to give blessings, and continue working when he should be busy.
After traveling through time, I found that I was still busy.
However, it is quite fulfilling to be busy now. Watching the city of Qingzhou gradually regain some vitality under its own management, I feel more hopeful.
It seems that many families will be able to have a more pleasant Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
Chen Ze also had to put down the work at hand and prepare to return to Hanzhou Palace to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
After all, messages were sent over there and I had to go back.
He was preparing to leave tomorrow. Before leaving, Chen Ze naturally had to explain everything that needed to be explained and greet everyone that needed to be greeted.
The Mid-Autumn Festival condolence gifts for the employees have been arranged, whether it is Qingzhou Yamen or major workshops, try their best to arrange them.
Before leaving, the eldest girl gave her an object she made with a look of embarrassment.
"Girl, what is this?"
"Uncle, it's... it's the peace sign."
Chen Ze blinked and looked at the peace card given by the big girl in his hand, feeling a little dazed.
Sure enough, the eldest girl's aesthetics are more or less different.
In terms of styling, it may be to carve out the feeling of auspicious clouds, but the actual effect is a bit Cthulhu...
At first glance it looks a bit like a bunch of tentacles.
Chen Ze thanked him, and naturally he didn't mind it. He immediately hung the Cthulhu Peace Card around his neck and said, "Don't worry, I'm just going home to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival. I'll go back to Qingzhou as soon as the Mid-Autumn Festival is over. Don't worry. "
It's unlikely there will be any safety issues on the way back.
Qingzhou Battalion's 500 men and horses were fully armed to escort them. I'm afraid no bandit who is short-sighted would dare to rob the road.
But it's hard to explain this matter clearly, and now is not the time for a showdown.
That night, Lu Qingyun, Lin Yuanchao and others were invited to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in advance in the house.
Nowadays, Qingzhou can develop in an orderly manner, and this group of middle-aged and elderly cadres as the core of the office contributes most to it.
Chen Ze only participated in work at more important moments and played a role in stabilizing military morale. At other times, he basically did not participate in government affairs.
Once you have a general idea of what you want to do, you can arrange it directly to the office.
After the specific details, work, budget, etc. are put in place at the office, the special service team will pass them to various Yamen workshops for further implementation.
Unless there is a particularly controversial matter that requires Chen Ze to make the decision, in most cases the office will come up with a relatively compromise plan that takes into account the overall situation after discussion.
So at this banquet, Chen Ze was constantly thanking everyone for everything they had done for Qingzhou. In turn, everyone was even more grateful to Chen Ze.
They never thought that they could have a second youth at this age, and their ideals were actually renewed.
Most people are farming in the countryside, thinking that this is probably what they will do for the rest of their lives.
Unexpectedly, His Highness the Crown Prince invited them over one by one, treated them as juniors, and entrusted them with important tasks.
The kindness of knowing and meeting, the love of bole, even if you are in your dying years, you still dare to compete with the king of hell for some time.
I just hope that I can see a happy world when I am alive, and I will have no regrets when I die.
