Song Dynasty Iron Armored Army

Chapter 209 Production of Cement
The quarry is more than ten miles north of the iron mine, and it is also only ten miles away from Dinghai Port.The high-quality coal transported from Dengzhou was continuously sent to the quarry.

Next to the quarry, a large yard was built with blue bricks. The yard is flat land, covering an area of ​​about five acres.

It was already dark when Chai Lin led his soldiers over from Chaijiazhuang, and cleared everyone out of the yard.

Chai Lin found a good treasure from the system, and opened a cement factory when opening the silver gift package some time ago.

This is a big guy, covering an area of ​​more than 1000 square meters, with two towering chimneys and a constantly rotating feed port.If you want to say what it looks like, it is the ore smelter in the Red Alert.

"Is it arranged?" Make a final inquiry.

"Set up."

Following Chailin's orders, the huge factory slowly unfolded.The main body of the entire cement plant is two rotary kilns with a length of 50 meters. The feed inlet is divided into two, and a rotary hopper is used.One is the bluestone feeding port, and the other is the coal feeding port. When the materials are thrown in, the hopper will turn over like a waterwheel to transport the materials into the kiln.Needless to say, there is also a huge tempered film battery panel on the top of the head of this big factory. It looks like it can cover [-] square meters, almost covering the entire yard.The tempered film is designed very scientifically, like a big roof, two chimneys pass through the tempered film.

This equipment needs [-] tons of crushed bluestone and [-] tons of coal to be filled once.The bluestone is heated by burning coal, and cement is produced through a series of chemical reactions.

For fear of scaring others when deploying the equipment, Chailin arranged the guards and workers far away. Chailin came out and rode to the quarry's Diwozi, where the guards and workers were waiting.

The person in charge of the quarry is a man from the Chai family, named Li Dachui. This guy is famous for his hard work, and he never compromises on the implementation of Chai Lin's arrangements.

"Sledgehammer, arrange workers to work overtime, and pull [-] carts of stones and [-] carts of coal to the yard." Chailin said.

Li Dachui said: "Brother, don't worry, we will make arrangements immediately."

There are [-] wooden carts with rubber tires in the quarry. Although there are no mules and horses, there are many people. For [-] people, five people can pull one cart.

The material storage yard is only 200 meters away from the cement factory, and the workers are loading and transporting stone and coal with torches.Chai Lin saw that this was too late, and said, "Put out the torches, it's too late to work, I'll turn on a headlight for you."

People don't believe it. Torches have been used for lighting for thousands of years. As for lanterns, forget it, the light is too dim.

Chai Lin turned on the searchlight headlight on the big chimney of the cement factory. The headlight with a power of several thousand watts instantly illuminated the stone factory like daylight.

The light was as strong as the sun, making people afraid to look directly at it. The workers were stunned and did not respond for a long time.

I don't know who said: "Master Chai is the reincarnation of Vulcan."

These days people are more superstitious, fearful of things they have never seen.

One worker bows down, and more workers bow down.

Chai Lin saw that this was not a delay in work, and immediately said: "Everyone is up, everyone is up, no one is allowed to talk nonsense about whether Vulcan is not Vulcan."

Everyone has a look, it is stable, the owner refuted the rumors, this must be true.However, the owner of the villa does not allow nonsense, and everyone must not speak nonsense, as long as you know it in your heart.

Li Dachui directed the workers to transport the coal first with a large shovel, then transported [-] vehicles of coal, and then transported [-] vehicles of bluestone, and poured them into their respective hoppers.

Seeing this astonishing building and the material transport bucket that can flip itself, the workers firmly believed in the rumor that Chai Lin was the reincarnation of Vulcan. Obviously, if Vulcan was not the reincarnation, how could there be such a strange building? Strange machine.

Although there is no car forklift, relying on the crowd tactics is also very effective, but the stone and coal were added in half an hour.The cement factory started processing and began to produce cement.

This process is not long, and it takes an hour to complete from start to finish.

Chai Lin said, "Li Dahui, you stay here, and everyone else goes back to sleep."

Dozens of soldiers including Chai Lin, Dian Zhengnan, Xie Bao, and Li Dahui were sitting beside the fire, waiting for the cement to be discharged.

Li Dahui asked: "Vendor, what does this big workshop produce?"

"It's very simple here. The bluestone is burned with coal, and the cement produced is called cement, which is stronger than the three-component clay. It is mixed with mortar and used to build houses."

Li Dachui also knows a little about it, but it doesn't matter if he understands it or not, as long as he does the work as required.

That is, after an hour, the finished products began to go out. Bags of cement packed in woven bags on the consignment belt came out and were neatly placed in the discharge area.Four hundred trucks of Qingshi produced nearly [-] tons of cement, which is a bit low.

In the early morning of the next day, the construction site of the iron ore factory started to build a workshop with a width of 15 meters and a width of 50 meters.The foundation has been laid, and Tao Zongwang led more than two hundred craftsmen to prepare all kinds of materials. The other materials are sufficient, except that the compound soil is not prepared.

At this time, Chai Lin led the convoy from the quarry to arrive, and brought over [-] carts of cement, with [-] or [-] bags of cement in each cart, and no amount of such vans could bear it.

"Zong Wang, come and have a look at our new building materials," Chai Lin said.

Tao Zongwang looked at this gray powder with some confusion.

"Brother, what is this?"

"It's called cement. When it's used, it's mixed with sifted river sand at a ratio of [-]:[-] to make mortar instead of triadic clay. It's very strong and durable," Chailin said.

Tao Zongwang was a little hesitant, because the factory building was made of blue bricks with a thickness of half a meter. If the cement was not suitable for use, it would be very troublesome to disassemble it.

Tao Zongwang suggested: "Brother, the workers have never used this new thing. I propose to build miners' houses one by one and see how they work before using them."

Knowing that Tao Zongwang was worried, Chai Lin said, "If it is built today, it will solidify tomorrow. A house is very small, no more than [-] square meters. You arrange craftsmen to build it today, and see the effect tomorrow."

"Okay, that's it. A house will be built soon." Tao Zongwang said.

Since Tao Zongwang and these craftsmen had never used cement, they took off their armor, changed into a set of mason's clothes, disassembled the cement and mixed it with fine sand, and put it in a small bucket to build the wall.

Everyone was stunned. Building a wall with red bricks seems simple, but in fact it’s not good if you don’t have two brushes, because the wall is drawn with lines, and it needs to be horizontal and vertical, and the joints between the bricks can be firm. .

Chailin plastered and laid bricks, and he did it well, at least at the level of a master craftsman.

Some craftsmen said: "Did you see that a person as powerful as Master Chai can still build walls. It seems that the craft of building walls is so important."

Tao Zongwang said: "Don't look at it, just do what you should do."

Tao Zongwang left behind four skilled masons to learn how to use cement from Chai Lin. Chai Lin taught for several hours, and Tao Zongwang and several craftsmen learned it. The walls of this dormitory were also built. Cement was plastered on the inner and outer walls.

"Go get busy with other things, and see if it's strong tomorrow."

Tao Zongwang directed craftsmen to move stones and bricks for each construction site in advance.The efficiency of pushing the unicycle is still high, and it is much easier than carrying it on the shoulders.
