As for the fire or something, with such a small pile of coal, it is not so easy to catch fire.

"Just wash it. The process is not complicated, and it doesn't extract oil or anything." Xu Le shrugged.

"Coal washing? I've heard of it." Meng Yiyi said with interest, "Water?"

"Water or air can be used." Xu Le replied following the prompt of [Fuel Refining], "But it is more used in combination."

[Fuel Refining] It is still one level short of reaching Lv4. At this moment, it can be upgraded to another level through sieving coal washing.

On the one hand, it provides more stable fuel, and on the other hand, it upgrades skills.

It has to be said that Awei's discovery of this wave of coal mines came at the right time.

"For coal washing, we need to prepare some tools first."

"Woo... washboard?" Meng Yiyi's eyes widened.

I knew that you can't expect someone from a rich family like you to know how to wash coal... Xu Le glanced at Meng Yiyi's poor chest.

"I don't need a washboard." Xu Le looked away, "Prepare some wood."

The second half of the sentence was addressed to the orangutans.

The well-behaved orangutan engineering team immediately began to move the logs and sent them to the sawmill to cut them into pieces.

Xu Le shortened these planks and cut them into different sizes and shapes.

The wooden planks overlap each other to form two inverted trapezoidal boxes separated from each other, and the upper ends of the boxes are connected by wooden pipes.

The inverted trapezoidal box is fixed on the bracket, and the upper end is covered with a whole flat board, and several parallel round holes are opened at the position of the central axis of the board.

He also made some additional partitions and fan blades, which were not directly installed on the box, but were set aside for later use.

Then, use wooden boards to splice out several "凵"-shaped pipes, and the pipes are installed on the inverted trapezoidal box.

At the same time, the fan and partitions are installed in place, the fan is pulled out the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is connected to the buried steam engine.

It looks like a ferocious steel beast connected to a wooden bellows.

After three or four hours, Xu Le finally completed this completely confusing machine.

Open the festival, the fan turns, and there is a low whimper as the air passes through the empty wooden box.

Fortunately, it is still daylight.

If people heard this sound at night, they would probably have nightmares all night long.

"Is this the machine for washing coal?"

Meng Yiyi has the self-consciousness of first-class flattery, and the timing of this question is just right.

Xu Le nodded: "That's right.

"After turning on the fan, pour the crushed coal through this opening, and the airflow at different speeds in the box will blow away different components according to the density.

"General miscellaneous soil is the lightest, and it is blown out first.

"Then there are less-quality coal particles, which will also be collected here."

He gestured to a box at the rear, and then continued to point back.

"What's left here are relatively high-quality coal particles that will fall out through the last hole.

"Throw away the miscellaneous soil and the like, or use it to pad the stove.

"Low-quality coal particles are used for heating, similar to briquettes...Have you ever used briquettes?"

The young lady of a rich family must have never used it...

Meng Yiyi nodded: "I have used it."

Clam?Xu Le was stunned for a moment, and couldn't find a word to answer for a while.

"The high-quality ones are used for smelting, right?"

Lin Xihan folded her arms, thoughtful.

"So the first thing to do is to break up the coal mines, right?"

Chapter 359 Invasion of Coal Washing

After Lin Xihan spoke, Xu Le continued to nod with a smile.

"It has to be all ground up, and the particles can't be too small or too big.

"If the particles are too small, the weight is too light, and they are easily blown away. If the particles are too large, they cannot be blown."

Lin Xihan asked: "So how fine are the particles?"

"Are you going to help grind it?" Xu Le asked.

"It's as if I don't do anything..." Lin Xihan wrinkled her nose.

"That's not true." Xu Le picked up a piece of coal and squeezed it casually. "Manual grinding is definitely too busy. The hardness of the coal mine is not small, and it takes a lot of effort."

Then there was a click, and soot fell down one after another.

Lin Xihan stared at him suspiciously.

Oops, I forgot... The corners of Xu Le's mouth twitched, his face forced to act as if nothing had happened.

He now has five tons of strength with his bare hands, crushing a piece of coal is effortless.

After experiencing continuous strength increases, he has not fully adapted to his current physical fitness, and accidentally exerted too much force.

"No, the piece just now was actually relatively crisp."

Xu Le argued, "If you don't believe me, squeeze it yourself, it must be very hard, and it's not so easy to crush."

Coal Ore also has those that are as crisp as biscuits...my interpretation is correct.

"I thought something mutated in your body." Lin Xihan lifted up a lock of hair and twirled it between her fingers.

"How is it possible?" Xu Le said confidently, "You read too many online novels."

Lin Xihan snorted.

"Tch, so you want to build a machine if you crush the coal?"

"That's right, make a very simple grater." Xu Le said easily.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"What Xu Shen made just now is a coal jig, right?"

"Jig what?"

"Fishing is shameful."

"Let's not talk about the opportunity, civilized you and me."

"It's really all-powerful."

"I checked the encyclopedia, and the principle of the jig machine is to sort according to the difference in density through the variable speed medium flow of the vertical lift..."

"Where's the DJ? If you don't cut the song, I'll screw up!"

"Anyway, it's a machine for mineral processing."

"Variable medium flow? Xu Shen, this one is air, right? To master the wind force...it doesn't feel so easy."

"Oh, Xu God, there is nothing difficult here."

"Wait and wait for the coal mine to be sorted."

"..."

When the bullet screen in the live broadcast room came up, Xu Le had already taken out a new iron ingot, put it into the ventilation furnace and started smelting it.

In this smelting, he used the [Smelting Catalysis] skill to retain the mineral components that increase the hardness of the iron material.

The molten iron is melted and cast into two toothed rollers, the teeth of which fit into each other.

The toothed rollers are installed on the wooden frame, and the relative position is controlled by two iron plates.

The rollers are also connected to the steam engine, and the steam engine is driven by complex gears to reduce the speed and increase the torque.

Slowly rotating toothed rollers possess jaw-dropping power.

Throw in coal, and the coal is bitten by the hard iron teeth and dragged into the gap between the rollers.

Then, under the action of huge force, it is broken into fine particles.

After the coal grains filled a basket, Xu Le slowly poured the coal grains into the opened jig machine.

The sound of air flowing through added to the noise, and at the first opening of the inverted trapezoidal box, mixed-colored soil and minerals began to fall.

The blown coal particles continue to pass through the jig, and coal of low quality or uneven particle size falls at the second opening.

In the end, as Xu Le described, coal particles with uniform particle size and uniform color were ejected from the opening at the tail of the jig.

Drop into the bag that has already been prepared.

"It's amazing..." Meng Yiyi twisted a handful of coal, and her fingers were immediately stained black.

"They are all very simple applications. If you understand the principles and have the tools, it is not difficult to implement." Xu Le said to Versailles to his heart's content.

Barrage in the live broadcast room——

"Okay, I expected Xu Shen to say something like that."

"It's easy to say."

"The problem is that Xu Shen really sorted out the coal particles."

"Looking at the waste, it's indeed all dregs and the like. The sorting is very powerful."

"Xu Shen once again walked ahead of all the contestants!"

"Xu Shen is awesome!"

"What does it mean to strive for excellence? How many players are satisfied with having firewood to light a fire? Xu Shen can even use coal here."

"And there are special linkage processing machinery."

"It is simply a one-person effort to reproduce human civilization."

"Although what you said is a bit exaggerated, I have to admit that it makes sense."

"Xu Shen, this can be regarded as entering industrialization?"

"It's still too early for industrialization, so it's appropriate to say it's automation."

"..."

[Current popularity in the live broadcast room: 4,280,000! 】

At the same time, as the first batch of coal particles were sifted out, he also received information on skill upgrades.

[The smelting catalytic skill has been upgraded, the current level is Lv4! 】

This is the level that is increased when making the toothed roller.

[Fuel refining skills have been upgraded, the current level is Lv4! 】

And, because the [Fuel Refining] skill is the skill of the old hunter template, the derived skill will be awakened immediately.

[Earthwalker's derivative skills have been awakened - transient high temperature! 】

Transient high temperature?Thermodynamic stuff?

System, you want to go through all my high school physics?

Didn't I just pass the exam back then, as for being whipped over and over again...

It is not a shame to fail to learn physics well, but it is not a normal person to learn well, okay?

The baby feels bitter but the baby doesn't say anything.

[Transient High Temperature] The effect of the skill is simple and rude. According to the system's instructions, it is to generate a transient high temperature...

Not explaining this is the same as not explaining it!

Well, the source of this high temperature is that it explodes the combustion calorific value of combustibles in an instant.
