“There are three do’s and don’ts on the construction site, so remember them when you start work!”
"Don't hug people of the opposite sex casually, otherwise I will send you to jail!"
Li Bai listened to the propaganda team organized by Shi Mao on the construction site shouting these slogans everywhere, and felt his toes clasped against the ground.
Yes, he wrote this.
At first he wrote an article, which was called a man of outstanding literary talent, but Tang Ping looked at it twice, rubbed it, and threw it in the trash can.
In Tang Ping's words, for these miners to understand what Li Bai wrote, it would be better to throw them all into prison and do hard labor for a few days.
After revising several drafts, it finally became what it looks like now.
It's a bit awkward, but it's catchy and rhythmic.
Soon many miners will follow the shouting, and the more they shout, the more they will naturally know the specific content.
It can be said that the conflicts caused by cultural differences between the people who came here from the Tang Dynasty and the aboriginal people here have been reduced a lot.
Datang's equipment and personnel were transported to Oshu Tangcheng in batches, and the construction speed accelerated again and again.
Soon the first smelting plant in Tangcheng was finally built.
On the day of the unveiling, in addition to Tang Ping, Li Chengqian and other Datang executives, those unemployed Datang people and Oshudo aborigines also came here.
They all wanted to see what magic this blast furnace had that could turn stone into hard steel.
The coke blast furnace currently used in the No. 1 smelting plant in Tangcheng can be said to have been produced by concentrating thousands of years of technology from around the world since the Tang Dynasty.
The first is coal desulfurization technology, which solves the problem of sulfur elements making iron brittle and uses fully burned coal to create high temperatures that melt wrought iron.
Then the hot air stove invented in Glasgow, Scotland in the 19th century was used to save half the fuel by using preheated air and obtain a higher furnace temperature.
Finally, anthracite coal was used directly as fuel.
This coke blast furnace system was an important force that pushed the industrial revolution to its climax.
Tang Ping and Li Chengqian looked at each other, and then they each turned a winch.
The ground iron ore particles and the coke formed by carbonization of coal are pushed into the blast furnace that is tens of meters high.
Then in the hot blast furnace, high-temperature air of up to 1200° is blown from the bottom to burn the coke to a high temperature of more than 1500°.
The entire hot air stove began to work hummingly.
Tang Ping shook hands with Li Chengqian, and then shook hands with Ren Fei, the first smelter boss sent by Datang.
"Is this the end?" The people of the Tang Dynasty and many aborigines below looked at this in confusion.
"Isn't it about smelting iron? Why do you pour the stone and coke in and it disappears?"
"Yeah, where's the iron?"
These people perfectly interpreted what it means to eat melons. Finally, a craftsman who had worked in the Chang'an smelting plant explained to them: "Do you think if the iron ore is poured in here, molten iron will come out there?"
"Let me tell you, it's still early. This is the first furnace. It will take at least a day or two more to produce molten iron. From now on, it will probably take 5-6 hours."
After hearing this, these people were greatly disappointed. They came here today to see Duke Ping and the Crown Prince come to shake hands.
Some people who were familiar with Tang Ping shouted loudly: "Ping Guo Gong, when the iron is released, we will ask everyone to come and see it!"
"Yes, there is no idle person here, everyone is still busy!"
When Tang Ping was not doing anything, he was either in the mining area or on the construction site of the new city, chatting with these people. Many people were very familiar with him, and they did not treat him as the Duke of the Tang Dynasty at all.
"Okay, okay!" Tang Ping said with a smile: "Aren't I afraid that if the prince and I shake hands today, if there aren't many people in the audience to clap for me, it will make the prince and I lose face?"
"Why don't you give us both a couple of shots since everyone is here?"
The common people and the aborigines laughed when they heard what he said, and then they clapped twice in agreement, and almost all dispersed.
Li Chengqian said with some envy: "My cousin can build good relations with the people wherever he goes."
This is not a compliment, or it may be because Tang Ping has a special sense of affinity. Even if the Wild Dog Tribe is so afraid of the Tang army, people in the Wild Dog Tribe can still say something polite when they see Tang Ping.
Tang Ping said with a smile: "As long as you forget your identity and treat yourself as the same person as them, you can do it too."
To put it bluntly, in his heart, he still felt that he was the convenience store owner lying in the convenience store cashing out. He was just chatting with other owners or passers-by on Cultural and Creative Street, so naturally he had no airs.
The common people and aborigines who left said they asked Tang Ping to notify them when the molten iron was about to be produced, but in fact they were more active than anyone else.
As long as there's nothing wrong, I'll stroll over here, stand at the factory gate and ask the guard: "Is the molten iron about to come out?"
On the second night, I heard that the first batch of molten iron was about to come out, and the smelting plant was surrounded again.
Tang Ping and the others also came again. After asking the craftsman responsible for the operation, they found out that molten iron could indeed be produced. Tang Ping handed the horn in his hand to Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian shouted with excitement: "Open the furnace!"
All the people looked excitedly at the opening for the molten iron. Some climbed on the wall, some climbed on the tree, and some folded their heads. Anyway, they all looked at the exit.
There was a creaking sound, the exit was opened, and then molten iron, which was particularly bright at night, slowly flowed out from inside.
"It's coming out, it's coming out, it's really coming out!"
"Have the stones really turned into water? Is this bright red water the result of the red stones we dug?"
"Can something like water be turned into something as hard as a mining pick?"
With countless people's questions, the molten iron flows into the molds that have been prepared long ago, where they will slowly cool into iron ingots.
It was getting late, but the onlookers were not sleepy, and more and more people were coming here.
Even if they still have work tomorrow, they still want to witness this historic moment.
For the craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty, they built this blast furnace piece by piece.
For the aboriginal people, they used iron picks to dig out the iron ore in the blast furnace, and they also used iron picks to dig out the burning coal.
They are here to witness the fruits of their own labor.
Tang Ping and Li Chengqian discussed it and then directly announced that tomorrow will be a day off for all Aozhou Province.
"Great!"
"Long live! Long live!"
Just when people were happy that they would have a day off tomorrow, a craftsman from a smelter shouted: "It's cooled down, the molten iron has cooled down!"
Tang Ping and Li Chengqian rushed over and asked the craftsman to take out a mold and turn it over.
"Clang!" There was a sound, and an iron ingot fell to the ground.
"Success!"
"We made it!"
At this moment, the people of the Tang Dynasty and the aborigines forgot about the three things they want and the three things they don't want, and they forgot that they couldn't hug others casually.
They all found the people around them and hugged each other tightly to celebrate this rare moment.
