Chapter 221 A man who wants to build a train
"If the coal dug here is enough, temporarily withdraw the people who explored there, the Khitan people won't use that thing, put it there, sooner or later it will be ours!" Zhao Si said.

"But if we don't take it now, who will take it in the future... The iron furnace recently promoted in the military has a very good effect. In the future, the demand for coal will greatly increase for civilian use, and it is a huge profit. Interesting! Charcoal uses this kind of thing, unlike gunpowder, it can’t be hidden! It will soon spread to the Khitan people! The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun over there are all Han Chinese, and their hearts Handy, and the population is also very dense, I think the small iron furnace will be popularized in their side soon... By then, this coal mine will definitely be developed by the Khitan people..."

"What you said is not unreasonable! But under such circumstances, we can't send the army over to fight a war over a coal mine? Besides, it's not up to me to decide whether to fight a war or not." Yes! That can only be fought with the consent of the Holy One! What's more, we have no certainty of victory at all, because the Khitans are all cavalry, and they come and go like the wind, but our army's mobility is very poor... That's why we talk about this matter , have to wait for a while..."

"Yes! Master!" Cao Fu responded and said: "Then I will withdraw our people! My disciple has an immature idea. We are building a steam engine in the power plant to drive the generator in the capital. If we can use that Put the wheels on the ground and install a few more wheels at a time. After that, we burn the boiler on the car and let the gears drive the wheels. Can we make a steam-driven car?"

"Hahahaha! You're such a genius! The thing you're talking about is a train! It's a pity that the steam engine is too heavy, so to use this thing to drive the car, you need to build a railway with steel rails... As Zhao Si said, he drew a sketch of the railway on the paper, and then drew a sketch of the train, and said: "Look at this long thing, it can be driven by one locomotive, and it can be pulled at one time." There are many people and things, but this is very difficult to do. With our current iron smelting technology, it is not easy to build railways and trains! But the principle is the same, you If you want to delve into it, you can work hard in this direction, and if there are any puzzles, we can discuss together..." Zhao Si was very pleased that Cao Fu could come up with such an idea, and everything can be solved step by step Yes, the person who was the first to invent the train back then was even ridiculed for the car he made, but after a period of improvement, the practicality of the train has been greatly enhanced, so this matter should be encouraged...

"Master, do you think this idea is really feasible?"

"This thing must run on a railway paved with steel rails to be feasible! Otherwise, according to the current road, under strong pressure, wouldn't it be pressed into the soil?"

"Does it have to be that long?"

"Of course, it is necessary to hang a few more cars, otherwise, it will cause a waste of energy..."

"Yes, master, you are right! Apprentice will follow your idea, find a few more skilled craftsmen, and try to make it... Of course, don't worry, the stall here will be guarded by the apprentice. Yes, smelt a large amount of iron as soon as possible..."

"It's so good... It's just that the selection of iron ore, the grade of steel, and other aspects of technology must go through years of experience in beneficiation and iron smelting, otherwise we would not be able to produce special steel... Like you said The steam locomotives and the railways supporting the steam locomotives require very strict steel materials... So the ore dressing and iron smelting are the foundation of everything, so I hope you still take this matter as the most important thing in front of you. pay close attention!"

"Yes! Master! Disciples must remember your teachings!"

"Of course, this is a bit difficult for you! If there is a chance, I will get you some books on ore dressing and iron smelting. You can refer to it and summarize the experience in practice. I think it should be very easy. It will be done soon!"

"Thank you, Master!" Cao Fu saluted and thanked Zhao Si.

Don't look at Zhao Si's fluffy words, if he can really give a book on this aspect, it means that Zhao Si has passed on the entire knowledge of this aspect to Cao Fu, which is the bottom of the box in the industry. Ability... So Cao Fu is very excited, thank you Zhao Si!

"Okay, you go for now! When I have time, I'll look for it in the past and see if I can find it!" Actually, Zhao Si was thinking about the restricted space-time channel that can travel to 1900, so he came here Before, he tried to wear it for the first time, and he actually went back to Beijing when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, where they were fighting!Although it was a bit scary, I finally got a few pistols back, holding them now, although basically useless, it is good to pretend...

Now that I have this purpose, next time I wear it back, I have to look for it and see if I can bring some of the technology over there!Although Zhao Si is relatively strong in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology, he also did some particularly deadly physics and chemistry experiments in his previous life, but after all, the things he learned are not very practical, and many of them are basic theories. What the Song Dynasty needs is actually preliminary heavy industry, including mining, smelting, energy development, machinery manufacturing, large-scale engineering construction, etc.!

As a matter of fact, Zhao Si really lacks the particularly practical knowledge and skills in this area. Now in Song Dynasty, if he wants to learn it, there is no way to learn it!Fortunately, there is still a restricted space-time channel, so go through it and steal some...

Of course, the restricted space-time channel is limited!The location is only limited to under the Hongqiao in Bianjing City, and the time can only be at noon!And Zhao Si is on the battlefield now, there is no way to pass through...

Are the other skills drawn earlier useful?In retrospect, it was all a mess of the four ways of writing fennel, bean and fen, the method of changing smelly farts to fragrance, etc. In Zhao's impression, the most useful thing was shipbuilding, but this thing is useless here!Just like the piano tuning method, to tune, you must first have a piano!To build a ship, you must first have a shipyard with complete materials, technology, and basic buildings... It's a pity that I am in a military camp now!

Zhao Sishu stopped thinking about these things in one breath. Since it is a war now, let's fight it well first, and then talk about it after the battle...
