What is required to burn lime? Not just technicians, workers and raw materials.
There is definitely no shortage of raw materials, let’s talk about coal. The small coal mines run by the communes can’t provide twenty tons of coal every day?
There is no shortage of resources, and manpower is not a problem, but now what is lacking is technicians?
Forty kilns, how many technicians are needed?
Even if each person is responsible for four kiln entrances, it still requires ten people!
However, people cannot be used as livestock, so it is best to have twenty technicians.
However, this can be left to Qin Jun. Since he proposed this idea, he must have a solution!
After thinking about this, Yu Aiguo suddenly discovered that it didn't seem to be difficult to handle this matter!
"Fuck it, and you have to do it hard and fast!" Yu Aiguo slapped his thigh and shouted loudly.
Qin Jun was speechless, what are you going to do? Are you ready to get started?
"What?" Qin Jun asked involuntarily.
"Expand the scale? Burn two hundred tons per day, organize a thousand strong laborers every month to help transport the limestone, and supply it from the coal commune. Twenty tons per day, right?"
Qin Jun was really speechless. Was your decision a bit hasty? How about thinking about it again?
"What are you doing standing around? We have no shortage of workers, not to mention limestone."
"Even if there is a shortage of explosives, our commune coordinates explosives. A few shots on such a big mountain can be enough for our entire commune to move for a year."
"With limestone and coal, we can easily recruit enough people."
"Everything is ready, all we need is the east wind, what else do you want?"
The more he talked, the more excited Yu Aiguo became.
Only now did he realize that their commune had the resources and enough manpower to really do great things.
Now it depends on whether Qin Jun is willing to spread the technology. As long as he is willing, nothing will be a problem.
Qin Jun said helplessly: "Even if it can be done, then who will we sell to 200 tons of lime every day?"
Yu Aiguo was proud: "Is it more than two hundred tons per day? Let's calculate how much lime is needed to build five large tile-roofed houses?"
"If you had money, would you use more materials?"
"People in the village cannot buy cement at all. Whether it is a wall or a mud wall, lime is needed."
"Two and a half tons of lime for five brick houses isn't much, right?"
"No, two trucks of lime seem to be five tons."
"Five brick houses require at least five tons of lime, so 200 tons of lime can only be used by 40 families."
"Forty stores every day, only 1,200 stores a month. If we sell non-stop for a year, we can only supply 15,000 stores."
"In other words, if we work for one year, it will be enough to supply 15,000 brick houses with lime, which is not much at all."
"Do you know how many young people of marriageable age there are in our commune alone every year? There are definitely more than 5,000."
"If a large lime kiln factory is built, can the surrounding small factories still survive?"
"Then five or six communes can sell our lime."
Qin Jun was a little dumbfounded. Is the lime market so big now?
It was at this moment that he remembered that the 1980s was the time of the population explosion in Qilu.
It was also during this period that family planning began to become strict.
Although their commune only had a dozen brigades at this time, its population actually numbered hundreds of thousands.
Calculating this, the average population of each brigade is tens of thousands.
Just like their Dahe Brigade, there are a total of thirteen squads. Among them, their tenth squad has the smallest population, but there are almost four hundred people.
Later, the commune was changed to a township. Because there were too many people, the commune was divided into three townships.
Qin Jun's team was later changed to a village and became a member of Hongquan Town.
At that time, the population of Hongquan Town seemed to be more than 40,000.
Thinking of this, Qin Jun became serious.
If 5,000 people really get married every year, then 5,000 houses can really be built.
Of course, this is an ideal situation, but if you have the money, this ideal situation can become a reality.
If such a large kiln factory is really built, it can boost the economy of a place.
If a virtuous cycle is formed, such a small amount of lime can really be digested.
Besides, lime is not only used to build houses, but is also used in building buildings now, and it is used a lot, mainly for mud walls.
In addition, lime can also kill bacteria, clear ponds, and improve soil.
Of course, these are just small steps. If lime and siliceous materials are mixed, Portland concrete can be made.
It can also be used to make building materials such as limestone bricks and limestone slabs.
These materials have good fire resistance and durability.
Limestone powder can be used to make gypsum, gypsum board and other materials, and has good sound insulation and thermal insulation properties.
Lime can be used to make gypsum, cement, concrete and other building materials, and can improve the strength and hardness of the materials.
In addition, it can also be used for architectural decoration.
Such as lime coatings, lime powder finishes, etc. It can be said that lime has good decorative effects and moisture-proof properties.
In fact, in real terms, the Qin army also needed to use a lot of lime.
Because he wants to enter the metallurgical industry in the future, and lime is also widely used in the metallurgical industry, so Qin Jun knows this very well.
Lime can be used as a desulfurizer for desulfurization in the steelmaking and ironmaking processes, which can reduce the sulfur content of steel and improve the quality of steel.
Lime can be used as a reducing agent for reduction reactions in steelmaking and ironmaking processes, and can reduce iron ore into pure iron.
Lime can be used as an auxiliary in copper smelting, used in the reduction reaction during the copper smelting process, and can improve the purity of copper.
Lime can be used to calcine metal oxides and reduce metal oxides to metals.
In addition, lime can also be used in the chemical industry.
It can be said that lime has a wide range of applications in the chemical industry.
Of course, this Qin army does not intend to get involved.
What he wants most is to use it to make steel. He needs pure iron, and he can add some other minerals to make a suitable alloy.
There is no rush for this now, because now that he is making some special alloys, he cannot put the profits into his own pocket.
What he can use now is gypsum board. If he wants to consume lime on a large scale, he still needs to make gypsum board.
Because this thing is the best choice for house decoration in the next twenty or thirty years.
Besides, if we really couldn’t use it up, wouldn’t there still be a commune?
Do the communes only take benefits and don’t want to pay anything?
They don't need to do anything, just help sell lime.
You know, with the reform and opening up, the entire country will become a large construction site, consuming two hundred tons of lime every day, which is really not a problem.
Since it can consume all the production of 200 tons per day, it is actually beneficial to do so.
If such a large lime kiln factory is really built, all the strong laborers in the village can be arranged.
After all, their village is not big, and there are only about a hundred villagers suitable to be workers.
Compared with large lime kiln factories that employ hundreds of workers, this number of people can still be arranged.
"Fuck, isn't it just two hundred tons per day?"
I don't understand. Qin Jun is more excited than Yu Aiguo.
As long as they do this well, they can solve a long-standing problem in their village once and for all.
An ordinary team-run enterprise will definitely not allow the old bachelors in the village to get married quickly.
But what if you are an employee of a large enterprise run by a commune?
Wouldn't this allow the matchmakers from the surrounding villages to break through the threshold?
Yu Aiguo was also happy, and he knew Qin Jun would be moved.
"Okay, I knew you could do it."
"However, the output of each kiln is five tons, which is two hundred tons per day, but it requires forty kilns. What are you going to do?"
Looking at the proud Yu Aiguo, Qin Jun also smiled like an old fox who had stolen a little rooster.
The diffusion of technology must be slower than Yu Aiguo imagined!
At least, that's the case now!
"Who said that a lime production of 200 tons requires forty lime kilns?"
"We can't stick to the rules. Can we make some changes, such as building a lime kiln with a capacity of 40 tons?"
Looking at Qin Jun who seemed to be smiling but not smiling, Yu Aiguo thought silently in his heart, I am not angry, I am not angry.
One kiln only has 40 tons. Doesn’t it require five kilns to meet production?
One kiln burns for four days, and a total of twenty kilns can increase the output of lime to 200 tons per day.
Thinking of this, Yu Aiguo was still angry.
When he looked at Qin Jun at this time, he felt as if he was seeing a golden doll.
This kid is really amazing, he can surprise him every time.
"Five kilns can produce two hundred tons of lime? This output is not low!" Yu Aiguo looked at Qin Jun with admiration.
Qin Jun chuckled and said, "But with such a small kiln entrance, we won't need too many people!"
Yu Aiguo waved his hand and said: "It's better than now, right?"
"That's true!" Qin Jun nodded.
