Liang Chuan saw Cao Buxiu's surprised expression, how could he know that he was planning him in his mind.
What Liang Chuan wants to do has been experienced by every family in the early years!
At dawn the next day, Liang Chuan got up and ran to Tianhu Mountain Village to borrow a large stone roller.
Looking at Liangchuan's movements, the villagers knew that these outsiders must have extra meals today, such as stone-crushed rice, or making some rice flour, etc., which are all refined foods.
Liang Chuan borrowed it and grinded it for a long time. When he returned it, the entire grinding plate turned black. Everyone was shocked. Which dyeing vat had it been thrown into? How did it become such a virtue?
The villagers were not happy about it at first sight and yelled at Liang Chuan to buy it away.
Of course, this played into Liang Chuan's plan. He came here with the idea of taking advantage of the market and spent a little money to buy it back and then use it ready-made!
As soon as the grinding plate was obtained, Liang Chuan picked some cinders from the coal pile and put it on the grinding plate to grind it into fine pieces. The reason why the grinding plate turned black was because Liang Chuan used it to press coal!
There are no crushers these days, so we can only rely on such primitive technology. If the coal is larger, it must be broken into small pieces with a sledgehammer! Then put it on the grinding plate and crush it into powder!
Finely crushed coal burns much more efficiently!
When they were children, their family used an earth stove, which was an energy-saving stove, but they could only pick up some branches. At that time, the mountains were basically bare, and there were only a few trees that they could use as firewood every day.
Another important cooking tool is this honeycomb stove!
This is what Liang Chuan wants to do!
There are many craftsmen in the village who make these things. They use molds to press out identical briquettes. After burning them, they can sell them for a penny. Otherwise, children like them will take them back and spoil them. They feel very good when they step on them!
Liang Chuan had seen a lot when he was a child. When he was in Bianjing, the place was close to the northwest and raw materials were easily available. He had long wanted to dig a large amount of coal to do it. He also wanted to launch an energy revolution, but Bianjing was not his place. place, so this matter has never been taken into action.
Although there are many trees in the south, they are your greatest wealth. If you cut them down, your descendants will be gone.
Furthermore, I want to use coal to make iron and steel. Coal is now officially used. Now is the time to develop coal, so I can use this thing conveniently!
Making honeycomb briquettes is not difficult!
On the contrary, using coal nest coal is more economical. If a piece of coal nest is placed in the coal stove for a day and the tuyere is locked and blocked, the flame will not go out overnight. When you get up the next day, add coal in and the tuyere will blow up for a while. Feng, the efficiency is absolutely amazing!
Liang Chuan dug a lot of yellow mud from the mine and added it to the coal. The yellow mud played a role in shaping the coal. In the past, if too much yellow mud was added in rural areas, the honeycomb briquettes would not be strong enough to burn and would burn. There is a lot of cigarettes, and this is how some unscrupulous coal dealers make money. Some people are kind of conscientious and add some wood powder to it to assist combustion, which can also reduce the use of coal!
Liang Chuan is not here to make money, let alone worry about running out of coal. There is as much coal as there is here. Where does he need to add other auxiliary materials? He keeps using coal. After adding yellow mud, he digs a hole in the middle of the coal pile. Inside Pour in the water, put in a stick of incense, and let the coal absorb the water.
This power

Fu Liangchuan also wants to make a mold!
Tianhu Mountain Village, where the whole village could hear a sneeze, couldn't find an iron shop. Liang Chuan couldn't even find a place to get a plastic mold. There was a blacksmith shop in Taocheng County, and Liang Chuan took Cao Buxiu to the city.
Taocheng County is no larger than Xinghua County. This small county is also surrounded by mountains. A river called Beixi passes through this quaint and beautiful place. Standing at the gate of the city, you can hear the tinkling of blacksmithing in the distance. .
The two of them followed the sound and entered this small shop with air leakage from all sides. A young craftsman was working hard on the iron. The old master lay flat on a wicker chair. The hot air on the stove blew from time to time. Although it was still cold in spring, the hot air was really refreshing. Can't stand it.
"hit what?"
The old master glanced at Liang Chuan.
"It's a bit complicated!" Liang Chuan explained the structure of the mold, and the young apprentice shook his head. The old master smiled, he could make it if he could, but it would still take a lot of time to cast it again and again.
Liang Chuan shook his head, how could he wait so many days! The old master looked at Liang Chuan's anxious look and asked, "What is this thing used for?"
Liang Chuan naturally couldn't say anything and smiled. The old master understood the idea and said with a smile: "If this thing is used for clay shaping and does not have temperature requirements, then it is better to go to the carpenter to plan it!"
The two of them suddenly became enlightened and left somewhat unhappily, heading towards the carpenter's shop.
"Silly."
Making a mold is a piece of cake for carpenters. They can make it in the palace. This thing is easy for them.
Liang Chuan was very happy when he got the mold. Although it was not a round semi-automatic, the woodworker made it into a square box with several columns inside for punching holes. There was a small plate at the bottom to form the mold. Push it back and it will be pushed out of the box!
Very ingenious!
Liang Chuan took back the mold and stirred the pile of coal on the ground for a few times. The coal should not be too dry or too wet, otherwise it would not be conducive to shaping. After mixing to a similar degree, it can be placed in the mold for shaping. Liang Chuan put the coal in and pressed it. Really, turn it upside down on the ground, then push the board behind it, and a square piece of briquettes will be formed!
Liang Chuan crushed all the cinders on the ground into honeycomb briquettes in one breath. The purpose of this thing was hard to understand. They thought Liang Chuan had nothing to do today and was playing with black mud!
After the honeycomb briquettes are made, they must be placed on the ground to dry!
The next step is to make a coal stove!
If you really want to calculate it, coal stoves are more difficult than briquettes!
Liang Chuan was stunned when he saw this pile of briquettes. What should he do with the stove?
People from the Tianxiong Army kept coming out of the coal pits. They were surprised. They thought that only their hometown had more coal mines, but they didn't expect that there was coal in the south!
Liang Chuan watched the coal being moved out in baskets. After digging for a few days, the mine began to gradually get deeper. Fortunately, the soil in the south was harder and not as loose as in the north. Cao Buxiu still designed a lot of supports to support the mine. got up.
The most terrifying thing about the mine is the mining disaster. Once the mine collapses, there will be countless casualties. There is no machinery and equipment now. If it is buried, it will be a narrow escape!
Suddenly, an inspiration flashed through him, and Liang Chuan thought of the simple charcoal kiln he had made back then.
Liang Chuan took some green bricks, some kaolin, mixed with red soil and some loess, and mixed them
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The kaolin was stirred up, and the green bricks were laid together to form a small tube building, wrapping the four bricks.
The bricks were laid layer by layer, just like building a stove, but the stove was too small!
There is a small vent hole at the bottom of the stove for air intake.
It looks like the effect is really good!
Liang Chuan put the bricks and coal in the sun for three days in a row before the briquettes were completely dry.
Making a fire with briquettes is the most difficult. Liang Chuan put the briquettes directly into the fire to burn because the coal content of these briquettes is higher than that of ordinary household briquettes. It is almost entirely made of coal, so the combustion efficiency is also high. Higher, after a while the whole piece of briquettes turned into a bright red piece!
Cao Buxiu couldn't understand Liang Chuan's operation at all. What kind of trick was this?
After wasting so much energy and then throwing it into the fire, wouldn't it be better to burn the coal directly?
Liang Chuan didn't explain too much. After the briquettes burned red, they were used to make a fire starter. They were placed at the bottom of the coal stove, and a few pieces of honeycomb briquettes were placed on top. Liang Chuan took a bamboo tube and pointed it at the bottom of the coal stove. The air intake hole starts to blow!
After blowing hard, a wave of heat rushed out from the coal stove. Cao Buxiu, who was standing next to him, was startled and his eyebrows were almost burned off. The block ignited, Liang Chuan kept inflating, and the flames inside burned more and more fiercely!
"Go to the carpenter and make a blower, hand-cranked. It will save you a lot of effort in the future!"
Cao Buxiu didn't know what a blower was, so Liang Chuan brought over a drawing. The shape was very similar to a water wheel. There was a shaft in the middle with several leaf fans embedded in it. It was sealed around and had an air outlet. This type of blower was quite crude. If improvements are made, the iron-making furnaces in the blacksmith shops can be used in the future!
Although the wooden box for blasting is not ready yet, the fire is already burning quite brightly in the coal stove!
"Bring the pot and see how it works!"
Cao Buxiu was so drunk that he didn't know how to describe it. Some people from the Tianxiong Army also came to watch. When they saw this thing, they said frankly: "My boss... you are obviously taking off your pants and farting like a dog, and you directly took the matchmaker." Wouldn’t it be better to burn it here?”
Liang Chuan was stunned when he heard this and retorted: "There is no way to transport our coal out in the first place. If we use it ourselves, of course we can burn it any way we want. But we have to transport this coal out, and carry it out naked like this." , that’s not a slap in the face of the government. It’s made into briquettes and then coated with a little cinder powder. Who can tell that it’s coal?”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they were trying to disguise themselves. .
That’s right!
Liang Chuan picked up a piece of briquettes and said: "I not only want to use these coals myself, but also sell them to all parts of the country in the future! The coal we use ourselves contains a lot of pulverized coal. If we add half the yellow mud, it will not be a pound of coal in the future." It can be sold for two kilograms. This piece of briquette can be used for one night, which is almost a day. There are countless coals in this field. How much can it be sold for?"
Someone started counting with their fingers, and Cao Buxiu knew it best. Liang Chuan had been busy for so long, and he really had a plan. In this way, not only could he hide the truth, but there would also be a huge market for coal! This makes money. . How much money can be made from as many Tuliangchuans as there are in the mountains? In a place like Qingyuan, where there is not much vegetation on the seaside and a large population, the consumption of coal is huge!
