The Evolution of the Three Kingdoms Volume Chapter 142 Xiangcheng Industrial Complex

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Before Li Zhe returned to modern times, Xiangcheng's industrial complex had already begun full-scale construction. The former craftsman battalion and a large number of former Cao Jun military households formed a semi-military group similar to the frontier development corps in modern time and space, with hundreds of thousands of people.  The National People's Congress will work quickly to comprehensively build an industrial zone in the Three Kingdoms time and space.

    The first was the large-scale land reclamation. This was carried out on the basis of the former military camps of Cao Cao's army. It was carried out extremely smoothly. The craftsman battalion produced a variety of large-scale logging tools, including various saws, and other  The large-scale combined machine with the pulley block labor-saving device as its core, in addition to the specially set aside green area, has almost cut down a large area of ??forest, freeing up neat fields that stretch endlessly, with no edges visible at a glance.  The area was plowed deeply in preparation for planting autumn wheat smuggled from modern time and space.

    This is to provide a large amount of food for future residents of industrial zones. A highly centralized industrial zone requires a highly centralized food supply. No matter what kind of industry it is, agriculture is the foundation first. Without sufficient agriculture, there will be no industry.  The foundation of existence, so the first step in building an industrial zone is to build a large-area industrial farm.

    Then there is water. The consumption of water by industry is much greater than that by agriculture. In places without sufficient water resources, there is also no possibility of industrial concentration. This is achieved by opening water canals for drinking water and the introduction of water sources from the two major tributaries of Ru River, coupled with on-site  Drilling water wells can basically solve the problem. After all, the time and space of the Three Kingdoms are completely different from modern times. The problem of water shortage rarely occurs in other areas except for places with millions of people like Chang'an and Luoyang.

    ¡° Immediately afterwards, Li Zhe bought the exploration and development data of Pingdingshan Mining Bureau from modern time and space at a high price. He named dozens of places and developed them into open-pit mining areas.  Large-scale mining of various ores, such as coal, iron, aluminum, salt, refractory clay, limestone, flux limestone and silica, started vigorously.

    Coal is used as fuel, and refractory clay and limestone are burned into cement. The cement is used to pave roads and build houses. Refractory clay bricks and silica bricks are burned into silica bricks, which can be used to build blast furnaces. They are excellent heat-resistant materials. There are also traditional manufacturing methods.  Pottery, brick-burning, etc., a large-scale construction industry foundation emerged first.

    Rows of cement brick houses began to be built on a large scale, forming a concentrated residential area for workers in the industrial zone.  This was the first large-scale centralized use of cement in the Three Kingdoms time and space. Its efficiency shocked those bricklayers in the past. The houses that used to be huge projects are now grown on the plains almost every day under the influence of cement and bricks.  Standing up, they lined up neatly, like soldiers waiting in line for review. This was the first demonstration of the aesthetic taste of collective industrialization in the time and space of the Three Kingdoms, representing iron-like order and fire-like enthusiasm!  It shows the vast future of industrialization in time and space in these three countries!

    Then came the construction of the coke oven. The craftsmen absorbed the experience of cement furnaces and steelmaking in Runan County, and began to consider increasing the combustion temperature again. Coking was imperative.

    The construction of this new type of coke oven was also carried out under the guidance of Li Zhe and the reference of a large number of modern materials, and went through various hardships.

    Although the craftsmen of the Three Kingdoms Time and Space are not very original, their copycat abilities are beyond imagination.  Drawing on the historical experience of making charcoal, the craftsmen have improved this coke oven to be perfect, including a carbonization chamber, a combustion chamber, a regenerator, a fire channel, a furnace top, and a flue.  The carbonization chamber and the combustion chamber are also separated from each other by high-temperature refractory materials. The gas from the regenerator enters the combustion chamber and is fully burned, heating the carbonization chamber from the side to form coke.  The top of the furnace is filled with channels, coal loading channels and waste gas outlets from the carbonization of coal, as well as fire holes for detecting flame and temperature.

    In the construction of coke ovens, silica-fired silica bricks are widely used as refractory materials, giving full play to local resource advantages. It also greatly enhances the experience of the craftsmen and gives them a new understanding of this refractory material. This is as follows  It is widely used in various industrial processes.

    ¡°Then, there was blast furnace ironmaking and crucible steelmaking. Li Zhe produced a large amount of information on indigenous blast furnaces and brought them to the time and space of the Three Kingdoms for reference.  Although there was no carbon-increasing crucible steelmaking in the Han Dynasty, there was very little experience in pig iron refining using the crucible carbon-reducing method.  In modern time and space, crucible steel-making tombs from the Eastern Han Dynasty have been unearthed.

    In fact, it is said to be blast furnace ironmaking, which is essentially a modern improvement of the ancient shaft furnace ironmaking.  Of course, even the shaft furnace for iron-making does not seem to exist in the Three Kingdoms time and space. The only thing that is similar is the shaft furnace used in bronze casting.  During blast furnace production, iron ore, coke, and slagging flux (limestone) are loaded from the top of the furnace, and preheated air is blown in from the tuyere located at the bottom of the furnace along the furnace circumference.  At high temperatures, the carbon in the coke burns with the oxygen blown into the air to produce carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The oxygen in the iron ore is removed during the rise in the furnace, thereby reducing the iron.  The smelted molten iron is released from the iron mouth.  The non-reducible impurities in iron ore combine with fluxes such as limestone to form slag.Discharge from the ? port.  The generated gas is exported from the top of the furnace. After dust removal, it can also be used as fuel for hot blast furnaces, heating furnaces, coke ovens, boilers, etc.

    Such a blast furnace is more than ten meters high. It takes several months to build it. In short, it is also extremely difficult. Like crucible steelmaking, it is difficult to see results in the short term.

    The crucibles are a batch of modern high-quality graphite and quartz crucibles of various sizes and shapes brought by Li Zhe from Hyundai for emergency purposes. After all, this kind of thing is very demanding and difficult to complete in a short time, and in many cases  It can be used in any occasion, so we might as well just smuggle it in. Because of this, the diesel engine of the entire propaganda system stopped powering for several days.  It also took a lot of trouble.

    Next is the truly epoch-making industry in ancient China - the glass industry. In ancient China, real glass never appeared, only colored glaze. This has always been a puzzling thing for people who study the history of science and technology in ancient China.  But now, Li Zhe is about to change this situation. The reason for joining this project is because Li Zhe suddenly discovered that explosive technological progress is really inseparable from these gadgets. The main force of technological development in the Artisan Camp¡ª¡ª  Alchemists' requests for smuggling glass products from Li Zhe have piled up as high as a mountain!

    In the industrial system under Li Zhe's rule, all kinds of glass products have now become the hot cakes of the craftsman camp. The demand for thermometers, levels, telescopes, microscopes, astronomical telescopes, various convex lenses, and concave lenses has exploded.  The main reason is that the optical development of the Three Kingdoms' time and space has reached a bottleneck stage, and a large number of glass products are urgently needed!

    Almost everyone is observing the starry sky and observing various onlookers.  In the eyes of these people, new worlds are opening up to them, either grand and profound, or extremely small, but no matter what kind of world they are, they have liberated the scope of their thinking.

    Thinking again of what the Heavenly Master said about the way of heaven, countless people burst out with passion like the sea!  The spontaneous desire to seek new knowledge cannot be contained!

    This is also something Li Zhe is happy to see happen, and of course he happily agrees to it. In the short term, glass products can be smuggled using Li Zhe's time and space, but in the long term, localization must be considered. After all, Li Zhe's portable space is not  In order to meet the needs of the progress of the entire society, the large-scale expansion of the glass industry is imminent.

    Fortunately, Pingdingshan now has all the basic raw materials needed for the glass industry. Therefore, it is logical to add the glass industry plan to the construction of the Pingdingshan Industrial Zone Coal and Iron Complex.

    The glass industry is also somewhat similar to steelmaking. In the early days, the same crucibles were used, the same use of coke, temperature control, and large blowers were also indispensable. However, pouring glass required a lot of effort, and annealing was an extremely difficult temperature to control.  Note that improper stress degradation within the finished glass will result in a finished product that is extremely brittle and hard and cannot be used at all.  Fortunately, with various industrial thermometers, this step can still be mastered with constant experiments.  The reason why both steel and glass use the crucible method is that this method can withstand setbacks in the early stages and is easier to control and form experience to provide empirical data for later large-scale open-hearth firing.  This is also a low-cost recipe for industrial progress.

    But no matter what, this is the first step for the steel industry in the Three Kingdoms time and space to move from workshop-style production to industrial production. It is very important. With Li Zhe's control over his subordinates at this time, this is the best era of technological leap.  .

    In short, under the clustered working mode, with the investment of a lot of manpower and material resources, and with the catalysis of Li Zhe¡¯s occasional on-demand and a large number of miraculous videos and technical materials, all difficulties on the way forward have been eliminated.  Being broken through by craftsmen and alchemists one by one, thousands of years of technical barriers are cracking step by step in front of these copycat gods, and are slowly collapsing.

    Repeated failures, repeated work injuries and even deaths cannot stop these people from following in the footsteps of the Heavenly Master!

    Since birth, life has been worse than death. Long-term disasters, constant separations of life and death, and decades of hard work have already refined the hearts of this group of refugees into steel, and life and death are as easy as anything.  Once the light of life itself is awakened by the light of hope that is so close at hand, it will be able to glow with fighting power beyond the imagination of the world!

    The heaven of Tianshi Tao gave them hope for the future, the ideal of Tianshi Tao gave them the confidence to move forward, and the salvation of Tianshi Tao allowed them to let go of the burden of past suffering, allowing them to go into battle lightly without any scruples.  This is a group of superhuman beings!  It is the most suffering generation and also the most combative generation!  Under the guidance and redemption of the spirit of Tianshi Dao, their will can conquer mountains and fill the sea. This is the most fearless generation!  (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations and monthly votes.
