Meng Dachuan said with a happy face: "With the prince's design, our refining efficiency has indeed been accelerated. That coal is a good thing."
The control of pig iron and wrought iron has always been a major difficulty in craftsmanship.
Therefore, it takes countless trials to get the perfect formula.
If Meng Dachuan and the others can really forge steel, then the subsequent mining and production of iron ore will be greatly increased.
Once steel is actually made, all current tools can be upgraded.
Meng Dachuan couldn't rush or rush him, so Li Zhao gave him enough authority.
"What about you?" Li Zhao looked at Carpenter Long again.
"We have temporarily tried eleven models and found that the ninth one is the best." Long Carpenter is already familiar with the data: "But we don't know if it is the one you want, Your Highness?"
The pulley block greatly liberates productivity and improves efficiency.
But Li Zhao was obviously not satisfied with this, he wanted more.
I hope that tools can be introduced and new ones can be introduced, and that efficiency can be improved.
At present, the problem of conveyor belt has not been solved.
Without rubber, Li Zhao tried all the materials and found that rope was the most reliable.
But rubber is not that easy to get out.
Li Zhao can't do it now, and he doesn't have the strength, so he can only settle for the next best thing.
"Ignore these for now, just get the thing out and test it." Li Zhaodao: "If there is no problem with the design of using the pulley block, then the problem of material transportation will also be solved."
"yes!"
"I just designed another drawing. If two tracks are set up on the ground and supplemented by rail cars, there should be certain advantages in transportation."
Li Zhao released the ancient version of the simple train.
If it is simply transported by manpower, it will be too slow and laborious after all.
No matter how strong the working people are, they cannot bear it.
After the track is laid, the cars are placed to further improve efficiency.
But the premise is that the track must be forged before the car can be manufactured.
And the track must be useful for Meng Dachuan's forged steel research.
If the barriers of this technology cannot be broken through, then using the current technology to forge the track may have to be replaced soon, which is really a waste of resources.
Behind every technological upgrade is often a constant investment of money.
Now, Meng Dachuan is in the process of spending money.
"Hiss—" Carpenter Long's eyes lit up when he saw this kind of rail transport vehicle: "If this thing is built, imagine..."
He couldn't find an adjective for a while.
Long Carpenter has followed Li Zhao for so long and knows exactly what Li Zhao wants.
Talent is the most precious thing here in Li Zhao. Because there is never enough manpower, His Highness is always inventing and creating.
Although the tools created by His Highness have greatly liberated manpower, it is still not enough.
Spring plowing and planting are about to be prepared, and with such a large project to be busy, there will definitely not be enough manpower.
If such tools could also be forged, it would undoubtedly be of great help.
"Whether it can be created or not is still a matter of debate!" Li Zhao seemed to be very Buddhist and said: "Let's do the experiments first."
"yes!"
Neither Long Carpenter nor Meng Dachuan were ambitious people. After learning about Li Zhao's use, they were naturally filled with joy.
For craftsmen like them, the surprise is always that new tool that cannot be forged.
After Li Zhao came out of the construction workshop, he went to the fish pond. Li Zhong followed Li Zhao's requirements and managed the fish pond area in an orderly manner.
The bottom and surroundings of all fish ponds are basically made of large stones and slates. Although they are not as good as cement floors, they are enough for them today.
The ten fish ponds in this area still look quite spectacular.
There is actually only one road between each fish pond, and the intersection is about three meters wide.
This was something Li Zhao had reserved during the design.
If we start researching cement in the future, we can also build cement roads here.
"Your Highness!"
Long Xiaoyu, who was in charge of the fish pond, had already hurried over. This guy was wearing very thin clothes and he didn't even feel cold.
Li Zhao couldn't help but remind: "You wear too little."
"Your Highness, I overdressed and got very hot." Long Xiaoyu shook his head and explained, "I'm still sweating even when I'm busy."
Li Zhao was ashamed. He almost forgot that not everyone was as idle as him.
Even in the cold winter, as long as you do physical work, you will be sweating all over your body.
In this case, wearing a lot of clothes is obviously not appropriate.
"Walk with me."
"Yes!" Although Long Xiaoyu is young, he is very diligent in his work.
When Li Zhao asked him who he needed to recruit, Long Xiaoyu immediately recruited a group of children of the same age. This was a good thing in Li Zhao's opinion. Some things do not necessarily require adults to do, and children can do it too. .
It is the time when they accept new things, and it is easier to instill new things into them than it is to instill them into adults.
Li Zhao's knowledge is very fragmented, so when he instills it, it is just a stick and a hammer. As for how much they can understand and how much they can absorb, it depends on their own destiny.
Secondly, Li Zhao also arranged for a teacher to practice calligraphy for them.
In the future, when Li Zhao gradually developed, reading and writing was a necessary skill.
If you can't read and write, many things in the future will be unmanageable.
Although Long Xiaoyu and the others are young, they are extremely eager to study. Therefore, they will not be absent from work every night.
As for adults, Li Zhao is not too pushy.
They work too hard during the day and are not in a good state. If they are forced to study in this state, they will fall asleep in a second.
The teachers will be angry to death, and they themselves will be annoyed to death.
Simply, Li Zhao won't force him.
If anyone among them is willing to learn, Li Zhao will definitely not stop him and will even be willing to vigorously train him.
The biggest advantage of Li Zhao is that he doesn't force others.
If you don't want to, then live your life in your own way.
If you are willing to make progress, I, Li Zhao, will give you this opportunity.
A group of boys and girls gathered around Li Zhao. Perhaps Li Zhao was kinder, so everyone was not afraid of him.
Although Long Xiaoyu is young, he strictly follows Li Zhao's orders.
"Your Highness, our current ten fish ponds are divided into five batches for testing."
"Oh?" Li Zhao looked surprised. In fact, he only gave a general framework and ignored the rest.
Sometimes no matter how much others say, you may not be able to listen, but often as long as you try it once and suffer a loss, you can remember it for a lifetime.
If Long Xiaoyu and the others really figure out the best ratio of putting pig manure into the fish pond, then this will be their ability to settle down for the rest of their lives.
The fishing industry is so developed that there are too many business projects to count just by relying on it.
This is the skill that makes you rich.
