Barbarian in Douluo

Chapter 148 150 I want to build a train! (seeking subscription)

Lou Gao was very helpless, he seemed fanatical, but he was not without brains, he could cultivate to the soul sage, and became a master craftsman, and he was also the president of the Blacksmith Association of the whole continent, naturally he knew what Tang Sangang said was true,

This is the general trend!Survival of the fittest!

Just as bronze was replaced by iron, more advanced technology is destined to replace backward old things.

It's just that as the president of the Blacksmiths Association, I have to consider other people.

Lou Gao lowered his head and pondered, Tang Sangang knew what the other party was thinking, so he said with a smile: "If Mr. Lou still has concerns, you might as well visit another factory."

Lou Gao looked puzzled, wondering if there was any machinery to look at, followed Tang Sangang and his son to the gate of another factory, the plaque above the door read "Spinning Factory", after entering, Lou Gao's eyes lit up, the factory The interior is empty, and there is only one machine inside. The runner is constantly rotating, and 16 spindles are erected on the machine, which are also driven by the steam engine.

"This is a steam spinning machine! It can produce 16 cotton threads at the same time, which is sixteen times more efficient than a single cotton thread for ordinary people! It was made by my mother as early as a year ago. Care, can produce 24 hours a day, "

"There will be steam looms in the future, and the efficiency is also countless times that of manual production, but I have not promoted them on a large scale. Mr. Lou, do you know why?"

Looking at this automatic machine, the first thing Lou Gao thought of was to dismantle this thing to see how it was made, and then he remembered the beauty that Tang Sangang said, the 16 cotton threads are so neat and uniform, even The speed is exactly the same, which is the beauty of industry.Finally, he understood the impact of this thing on ordinary civilians!

No more than the impact of steel mills and machinery processing plants on the entire blacksmith industry. After all, blacksmiths are only a minority, and civilians who account for more than [-]% of the total population, once they lose a life skill that they rely on for a living, then all civilians will suffer. Serious destruction.

The civilian life is hard, and now half of the people's eating skills have been cut off!The living conditions of civilians will only become more difficult!

"As a titled Douluo, Young Master Tang is able to consider a lot for the common people. In this case, Lou Gao has nothing to say. I believe in Young Master Tang's arrangement!" I saluted.

Tang Sangang nodded, and also bowed to Lou Gao, the two of them posed together, and Gaotang was here, no matter how they looked at it, they felt awkward.

Tang Hao smiled from the side: "With the help of Master Lou Gao, your steam train has taken another step forward."

Tang Sangang smiled slightly, "It's not that easy, I just hope that the rails for laying the railway will not be stolen by someone, and we don't have coal, so the blast furnace needs to be designed according to the actual situation."

The temperature of charcoal is too low to meet the requirements of blast furnace ironmaking, so it can only be used by fire-type soul masters. There are several soul masters in Wuhun Temple who have precise flame control like Huowu. It seems that their future Work will be busier.The converter steelmaking only needs to be ignited, and then the air is continuously poured in.

Of course pure oxygen is best.

The oxygen in the air will react with various harmful elements and oxidize them completely, while the carbon in the pig iron will form carbon monoxide with oxygen, which will not poison people. It will all burn in an instant.

As for other elements that are difficult to volatilize, such as phosphorus and sulfur, they will react with the limestone introduced into the molten iron to form slag. At this time, the molten iron is already molten steel, but it cannot be poured into the mold to wait for cooling for secondary processing, and the final process is required. , Deoxygenation.

Just now I wished for pure oxygen to be poured in, but now I think there is too much oxygen. This is probably because I like the new and hate the old.

Aluminum is the most commonly used deoxidizer. In addition, there are silicon and titanium. The latter are too difficult to obtain pure elements, which are not as easy to use as pure aluminum. Since the extraction of aluminum requires the use of electric smelting, it is more difficult to extract, but Tang The three bars can be exchanged for a batch of aluminum products from the system first, so that the urgent need can be solved.

Pure aluminum will react with oxygen in molten iron to form alumina that floats up and removes it. Finally, molten steel is obtained after untold hardships. Although it is countless times more troublesome than using a hammer to hammer it, this efficiency is still How many master blacksmiths with unicorn arms can't catch up anyway.

"Oh, by the way, in addition to the steel factory, we also need to add a copper factory to prepare for the production of bullet casings," Tang Sangang hurriedly reminded himself, and Sangang immediately understood.

Lou Gao was confused and asked, "What train? Railway tracks? Bullet casings? I can't understand any of them."

Seeing this, Tang Hao took out all the books his son had given him from the storage soul guide, piled them into a pile and said, "Read more, after reading it, you will have a clear idea of ​​the future development direction." cognition."

These books include a complete introduction to industrialization, metal smelting, element ratios of thousands of alloys, and the history of mechanical processing.

Lou Gao looked through a few books, and finally found a book with a locomotive pattern on it and read it. After reading it quickly, he immediately felt like a treasure, and said excitedly: "This is a steam train! My God, this is a must-have book." A hundred tons, plus a speed comparable to that of a flying bird, if it hits head-on, even a Title Douluo will have to weigh it!"

"I've decided! I want to join you and build this steam train! Drive it in front of Tai Tan and Niu Gao, and see if the strength and defense they are proud of is stronger than the machine I made!"

"Quick! Quick! Tell me where the factory is, and I will start working immediately!"

Tang Sanbang smiled dumbly, he is really a workaholic who is passionate about Taoism, "Don't worry, the factory is still under construction, you should read all the books first, and this is not something you can do alone, it is as big as a locomotive , Hundreds of tons of machinery, you have to find some helpers anyway."

"Okay! Then bring my four apprentices, Silong, Siyu, Sidi, and Sixue. They are all soul saints, and they are the guards who will take you to the fifth floor. As for the others, let them four select."

Lou Gao is in a hurry, and this is the first time he is so excited. In the picture in the book, there are more than a dozen carriages hanging behind the locomotive. With such a transportation capacity, dozens of horse-drawn carriages can catch up!

This is a brand new era, if you don't keep up with the pace, you will be eliminated!
Returning to the headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association, Lou Gao was impatient, so he ran downstairs to find his apprentice, and left Tang Hao and Tang Sangang in the casting room.Tang Sangang was idle and bored, so he asked his father,
"Father, who are Tai Tan and Niu Gao that Mr. Lou mentioned just now?"

Tang Hao said lightly: "The two of them are members of the clan attached to the Clear Sky School, Tai Tan is the patriarch of the Li Clan, Niu Gao is the patriarch of the Yu Clan, besides that there are the Min Clan and the Po Clan .”

"These four families have their own characteristics. The Li family is extremely powerful and everyone is an excellent blacksmith. The Yu family is good at defense and good at construction. The Min family is fast and is an excellent scout. The Po family has strong attack power. , and also good at pharmaceuticals.”

Tang Sangang beamed after hearing this, everyone is a talent!
This is used to open up mountains and build bridges for infrastructure construction, and it would be great to set up and operate pharmaceutical factories.

It's just that this Sen family doesn't know what to do for a while, delivering courier?
"Then where are they all now?"

Tang Hao sighed, "Since your grandfather closed the Clear Sky School, they also seem to have disappeared. They should be with the Clear Sky School."

"Huh? What about Haotianzong?"

"Father doesn't know either. The mainland is so vast. I went to find your aunt. She was from the Tiandou Empire's court etiquette institute. In the end, even she disappeared. I asked, and she left during the years when I sank and disappeared. Yes, the Clear Sky School should be an organized closed school that has evacuated everyone one after another."

"You asked me before, not because I didn't say anything, but because I didn't know where they went."

"And it's quite embarrassing to say. The family has evacuated everyone, and even the four families have taken shelter. I am the only one who is missing. I am also to blame. I hid in the Holy Soul Village and spent all day doing nothing."

Tang Sangang was speechless for a while, just this, just this, just this.

No, really not.

Feelings are made by oneself and Haotianzong can't find anyone...

Great for my dad.

The father and son chatted for a while, Tang Sangang looked at all kinds of metal materials around him, and then talked about the spring water of the Binghuo Liangyi eye,

"Dad, is there any metal material here that can hold those two springs?"

"Of course there are, but the quantity is scarce and the price is high, making it difficult to popularize."

"How expensive is it?"

"It should be around 30 gold soul coins, deep sea cold iron and tungsten steel will do."

Tang Sangang asked in surprise: "Tungsten steel?"

Tungsten is a metal element with a very high melting point. The most common one is the filament of an old-fashioned incandescent lamp. After being energized, it radiates heat to illuminate the surroundings and emits an orange-red light. Unexpectedly, Douluo Continent has already produced tungsten steel alloy.

"That's right, the hardness of tungsten steel is difficult to cast and deform even with the Haotian Hammer. Only the random wind hammer method can do it. At the same time, the melting point is very high. A layer of tungsten steel is covered with ceramics, and it is easy to cover it with deep-sea cold iron. It can hold red hot springs, and vice versa can hold white cold springs."

"In this way, even if you touch the shell with your hands, you won't feel a strong temperature difference."

Tang Sangang nodded, Dad is worthy of being a master craftsman, he knew how to place the spring water long ago, it is only 30 gold soul coins, I am afraid that except for some big families and royal families, no one can afford it.He wanted to make it a means of transportation that even middle-class people could afford, so he excluded more than [-]% of the people at once.

However, if you don't care about the cost, you can make a batch first to support the scene.

bus!
Although Wuhun City is not big, it takes a long time to walk on two legs. With free buses, it can not only enhance the sense of honor of the people, but also increase the popularity of Wuhun City.

There is only this one in the whole continent, and if you want to experience it, you can only come to Wuhun City.

It's just that the rubber hasn't been available yet, and it can't be made into a crawler without tires.

When you think of crawlers, you think of tanks, but this thing is useless at all, but the downgraded version of the tractor is very practical.
