Never thought I'd be the savior

Chapter 181 Zhouzhi Blast Furnace Smelter

"..."

Ma Yue'e didn't expect that Li Xuan knew better than herself how to travel as a powerful person, and she couldn't help being asked and fell silent for a while.

Wen Yun and Liu Rushan had been listening. After hearing this, they understood a little bit and why Li Xuan did not let the Agricultural Tools Department give priority to the development of high-grade and exquisite steam locomotives.

Not to mention the difficulties and problems in production and manufacturing of such steam locomotives.

There is no competitiveness just in terms of users and market.

If a high-grade, high-quality steam locomotive is actually manufactured, enters the market, and is purchased by people.

These buyers would only regard the steam locomotive as a novel toy.

Both Wen Yun and Liu Rushan knew something clearly.

Li Xuan paid a huge price, risking the loss of his life, and took out the steam locomotive, such a miraculous artifact, definitely not for the few wealthy people in this world to play as a novelty toy.

In their eyes, Li Xuan was a very ambitious man who wanted to manage the world and benefit the people.

Possessing so many secrets and secrets that can benefit the world and benefit the people, as long as Li Xuan shows them, he will not let these secrets and secrets be dusted or even insulted.

Thinking of this, Wen Yun and Liu Rushan thought for a while, and combined with the current situation, they understood why Li Xuan chose to ask the Agricultural Tools Department to vigorously develop non-grade civilian steam locomotives.

Moreover, there are various types of steam locomotives and many functions.

For ordinary people, steam locomotives, compared with horses or even cattle, are the real rigid needs, and they are extremely cost-effective rigid needs.

For ordinary people with limited time, energy, and financial resources, it is much easier and cheaper to serve a car than to serve a horse.

Moreover, the car is more durable and solid. You can't fight back when you hit or scold you. You can work hard and work until it breaks.

Even if it breaks, it can still be repaired.

No matter whether it is a minor repair or a major repair, it can be repaired.

Horses can't.

Especially once a horse gets sick, it is very troublesome, and it is easy to disappear, which easily causes huge family and personal property losses.

What's more, the steam locomotive can not only be used as a means of transportation, but also as a means of transportation. It can even be mounted with various tools and has more uses.

Such as plowing the land or harvesting crops.

The most critical point is that today's Agricultural Tools Department has the ability to mass-produce various steam locomotives quickly.

This is much faster and more efficient than raising horses, letting the mares give birth to ponies, and then raising the ponies and putting them into use.

How fast is this efficiency?
Both Wen Yun and Liu Rushan have a lot of understanding of the current Heihe area, so they naturally feel it very clearly.

For example, Zhouzhi Village where the two are located at the moment, Zhouzhi Mine.

The ore output of the Zhouzhi Mine can have an astonishing increase, resulting in a leap-like change. Among the various new technologies, new products and new utensils invested, technical utensils such as explosives and detonators have played a great role.

However, various steam locomotives suitable for mines such as rail cars, mine cars, pump cars, and crane cars also played a great role.

With these steam vehicles, plus various other new technologies, new products and new utensils, the mine can extract enough mineral deposits from the mine, and then transport them out in a timely and efficient manner.

For a while, both Wen Yun and Liu Rushan told what they had figured out, and asked Li Xuan for proof.

Li Xuan did not expect that Wen Yun and Liu Rushan would think about so many things in such a short period of time, and they did think very accurately.

Li Xuan naturally gave the two people their testimony.

"That's right, Aunt Wen and Sister Liu, what you two said is very comprehensive and detailed. The reasons you two said are the biggest reasons why I don't let the Agricultural Tools Department give priority to the development of high-grade boutique steam locomotives, but instead vigorously develop them."

Listening to what Wen Yun and Liu Rushan said, Yang Fei and Ma Yuee received a lot of inspiration for a while.

In many places, even the two of them didn't expect it.

It's just that after Wen Yun and Liu Rushan finished speaking, and Li Xuan encouraged them to confirm their arguments, Yang Fei blinked his eyes, feeling something was wrong.

Yang Fei quickly voiced into the secret way, "Brother Xuan, why didn't you develop high-grade and refined steam locomotives at that time, didn't you say that the biggest reason was that our agricultural tools department was not strong enough, and the overall strength, level and number of technical personnel Is it not enough?"

Li Xuan replied through a secret message, "The high-grade and exquisite steam locomotive I want is different from what you think. Therefore, the biggest reason for not developing is also different."

Yang Fei was stunned, and asked in secret through voice transmission, "Brother Xuan, what kind of high-grade and refined steam locomotive do you want?"

Hearing this question, Li Xuan turned his head and looked in the direction of the mine outside the village.

Yesterday, in the mine, the members of the mine, especially the old members from the agricultural tools department, formed a formation and used explosive packs to fight against the herd of animals, which brought Li Xuan a lot of joy.

They are already a little closer to Li Xuan's expectations.

After a while, Li Xuan looked at Yang Fei who was still staring at him curiously with wide round eyes, and replied to him.

Just two words.

"Cannon!"

After receiving the answer from Paoche, Yang Fei fell into deep thought, and soon thought of the battle in the mine yesterday.

This cannon cart, shouldn't it be related to the explosive package?

Thinking of this, Yang Fei was deep in thought, had some guesses about the cannon carriage, and couldn't help but get excited.

If Li Xuan could really create a high-grade and refined cannon carriage, and let the Agricultural Tools Department quickly mass-produce it, it would be a great thing for Yang Fei, who aspired to be a general.

At this moment, Yang Fei understood the main reason why Li Xuan told him.

If there is such a powerful weapon of war as a high-grade and high-quality gun cart, and the Agricultural Tools Department has the ability to quickly mass-produce it, then the Agricultural Tools Department itself must be strong enough, and there must be a large enough number, a high enough level, and a large number of powerful enough Technicians and even guard members.

Otherwise, everyone is not guilty, but he is guilty of being pregnant.

At the banquet, at Li Xuan's table, the five of them chatted about many other things.

Fortunately, the various lamps produced by the Agricultural Tools Department are very good, bringing a lot of light to the night of this era.

This made this banquet, attended by many people, last for a long time, from dark to twelve o'clock in the evening.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed.

The next day, Li Xuan wanted Wen Yun, Liu Rushan, and Ma Yue'e to go back early.

But they are full of interest in Zhouzhi Mine.

At yesterday's dinner, we talked a lot about the current affairs of the mine, which deeply attracted them.

They especially wanted to see the blast furnace smelting plant directly established in Zhouzhi Village by the Zhouzhi Mine.

Under their unanimous request, Li Xuan and Yang Fei took them to the Zhouzhi Blast Furnace Ore Smelting Plant in the west of Zhouzhi Village.

Looking at the tall and majestic smelting blast furnaces, the three women, who saw such a scene for the first time, couldn't help being shocked.

In particular, the tall and majestic smelting blast furnaces are emitting billowing smoke from the top, and they are connected with each other, which seems to block out the sky and the sun.

Such an imposing manner is terrifying and even more shocking.

Even Wen Yun couldn't help but say after seeing such a scene, "Li Xiaolangjun, are these tall and majestic smelting furnaces the incredibly powerful, extremely high-yield smelting blast furnaces you call them?"

Li Xuan nodded, "That's right, these smelting furnaces are all smelting blast furnaces built with new technologies and materials."

"It's no wonder that the Zhouzhi Mine not only produced an astonishing amount of ore deposits, but also smelted a large amount of finished metals. Seeing these blast furnaces now, I can easily understand." Wen Yun said with emotion.

The group watched and chatted, and under the leadership of Li Xuan, they soon came to a tall and majestic smelting blast furnace.
