According to statistics from modern society, Shanxi is the province with the largest bauxite reserves in the country. It is supposed to be easy to find bauxite, but if Li Zexuan wants to find it in the shortest time, he can only dig at the house of his old classmate That iron mine!
Who told him to go to that bauxite mine by chance? Who made modern Shuozhou still called Shuozhou in the Tang Dynasty!
There are so many coincidences in this world!
After solving the problem of the material of the furnace lining, another problem before Li Zexuan is the heat dissipation problem inside the ironmaking blast furnace.
The melting point of iron is around 1,500 degrees, and the inside of the iron furnace is a relatively closed space. If the heat is not released in time, this thing is undoubtedly a time bomb. Once the heat accumulates to a certain level, destroying the equipment is a trivial matter. , the harm to personnel caused by the explosion is a big deal!
Modern blast furnaces use special ground fans, which are powerful and have excellent heat dissipation effects. However, in this era, there was no electricity, so even if there was a ground fan, it could not rotate!
In fact, when talking about cooling fans, we have to talk about ancient water drainage. Many people think that drainage with the word "water" in it should be a water conservancy and irrigation tool. In fact, water drainage is a hydraulic blast iron-smelting tool invented by Du Shi during the Eastern Han Dynasty. At first, the blowing tools were called human platoons, which were driven by human power; then they were driven by animal power, mostly horses, which were called horse platoons. Until Du Shi used water conservancy to agitate, so it was called water drainage.
The iron-making blast furnaces in the future can use this kind of water row to dissipate heat. However, the dam on the Bahe River has not been built yet. Without a certain water potential gap, it is difficult to rotate the water row!
"Use animal-powered exhaust to dissipate heat first! We will build dams and hydropower stations next year, and we will consider other things after the power grid is installed!"
Li Zexuan murmured to himself.
Thinking of this, he picked up his pen and started drawing. With his current engineering attainments and drafting skills, it would be no problem to draw an improved version of the horse platoon (a blower tool pulled by horses).
In addition to blowing in outside air and taking away the heat inside the furnace, the horse can also bring oxygen to the fire pool in the furnace body, promoting the full combustion of the fuel...
On a winter night, everything is completely silent, there is no chirping of insects, and no chirping of birds. The only sound that can be heard in the study is the scratching sound of pencils rubbing against paper.
Yunshan is located outside Chang'an City, so there is naturally no sound of watchmen. For Li Zexuan, it is convenient for him to concentrate on thinking and drawing.
Under his transformation, this iron-making blast furnace moved from modern times has gradually lost its original appearance, but its iron-making efficiency has not weakened much, and the transformed blast furnace has become more and more suitable for the Tang Dynasty. conditions and environment!
………………………………
Two days passed by in a flash.
Li Zexuan has not left the study for two whole days. Han Yuxi, who knows her husband's character well, although she wanted to persuade him to go back to his room to rest, she did not persuade him! Because she knew that trying to persuade her would be useless and would only increase Li Zexuan's troubles.
In the past two days, Li Zexuan had eaten and lived in the study. A thick pile of drawings had been piled up in front of him. The ruined drawings were thrown all over the floor. Looking at his face, there was no There is no haggard to be seen. This is precisely due to the huge spiritual power brought to him by the "Tai Xuan Sutra" and the endless flow of internal power! Otherwise, someone else would have been exhausted long ago!
You want to ask him why he works so hard? Li Zexuan may not be able to answer this question himself. Logically speaking, he is now powerful and has a lovely wife. He just needs to live and die like other second-generation playboys. There is no reason to work so hard! If I really want to tell you why, I can only say that this is the persistence of an engineering geek!
"Phew! Haha~! Finished!"
On the morning of the third day, Li Zexuan checked all the drawings he had made in the past few days. When he found that there were no problems, he breathed a sigh of relief and laughed.
"Squeak~!"
Almost at the same moment, Han Yuxi pushed open the door and walked in with red eyes and said distressedly:
"Ms. sir! Now that you're done, go and have a rest! I'll leave this place to you!"
At this speed, it was obvious that this woman had been guarding outside the study!
Li Zexuan was a little moved in his heart, this little woman! It’s so distressing!
"Haha! My husband is not as delicate as you think! Madam, please take it easy! Why don't we go to the room and study the art of boudoir?"
Li Zexuan touched his wife's smooth cheek and said with a smile.
Han Yuxi said angrily: "My lord! How long has it been since you still think about this? Go to sleep! If you haven't fallen asleep in a quarter of an hour, I will kill myself!"
To be able to say such words, it seems that she is really anxious and a little angry.
Li Zexuan said quickly: "Okay, okay! Husband, go to bed now! Madam, please don't say such words again! Hey! It seems that I have to wait a while before I can rest!"
Just when he was about to move to the bedroom, he suddenly stopped and said.
"Ms. sir! You..."
"Haha! Madam, don't worry, it's not because of your husband that you stay awake, but because we have a guest!"
Han Yuxi was about to get angry, but Li Zexuan interrupted her and said.
After saying that, this guy put his hands behind his back and walked out of the house. The reason for this was entirely because he just heard footsteps coming from outside the house.
"Father-in-law! Uncle Fu, Xiaobin, are you here?"
After a while, Li Zexuan's laughter came from outside the house. Han Yuxi thought that Li Zexuan was bluffing her just now, but after hearing the "father-in-law", she didn't care about being angry with Li Zexuan and ran out quickly. !
Outside the house, it was Uncle Fu and Han Li who came with Fu Bin and four other middle-aged men.
"Master, I don't dare to neglect the things you told me before. Today I'm here to tell you something!"
Uncle Fu stroked his beard and chuckled.
"Haha! Go in and say it! Go in and say it!"
"Dad? Are you here? My daughter will go get you some tea~!"
When Han Yuxi left the study, it happened that Li Zexuan and the others had just entered the main hall. After seeing Han Lizheng, she said happily.
Although Yunshan Villa is very close to Hanjiazhuang, after she and Li Zexuan lived here, Han Lizheng rarely came here. He usually only came when he had something to do, so she was so excited at this time!
"Haha! Madam, don't forget to give Uncle Fu a cup of tea too!"
Li Zexuan joked with a smile.
"ah!"
Han Yuxi then thought that her father was not the only one who came here, and she quickly said with a guilty conscience: "Of course...of course I won't forget it!"
The crowd burst into good-natured laughter.
Li Zexuan looked at Han Lizheng and said with a smile: "Father-in-law, you must come to visit me often in the future! Otherwise, Yu Xi will treat you as a guest!"
