I really don't want to be a rebel [infrastructure]

Alezhen hesitated and said, "You mean we robbed them?"

Luo Shixing was not polite: "Not only grab it, but also don't leave it at all."

Who would want to live a life where there is no tomorrow after eating today?

Before, Luo Shixing really thought that the people here were lazy, but after he found out that the refugees were very active in providing relief with work, and they were also very active in working in the manor, he couldn't help but arrange for someone to visit secretly.

At this time, I realized that they were not active before because there was really no hope in life.

Ale really felt that his worldview had been severely impacted. Luo Shixing looked at him staring blankly at the field, thought for a while and said, "Why don't you stay here for two more days and see the situation. I asked you to Getting rid of those elders is not because I think they are not pleasing to the eye, but because this way there will be no incomprehension of government orders, except for them and those gentry who are not willing to cooperate."

Al really responded sullenly. To be honest, he suffered a lot from Luo Shixing's place. He thought he didn't care about it before, but he was never as depressed as this time.

Before, he could say that it was because Luo Shixing had read enough books and his father had trained him well enough.

Although he didn't know until those former high-ranking officials of the Tang Dynasty came over, even in the Tang Dynasty, the existence of little lynxes was rare, but that didn't mean they didn't exist.

As a result, now...he found that it wasn't just a matter of knowledge. The feeling was hard to describe.

He has always felt that he has managed the Ouluo tribe well, at least better than under his father's hands, and has developed from population to economy.

But looking at the alliance of worried fathers that was established as a joke, he knew that something was wrong with him.

He couldn't figure it out, but he didn't rush to ask Luo Shixing. Luo Shixing had already told him very clearly, and he needed to figure it out by himself.

After Ale really felt that he understood a little bit, he suddenly realized that he hadn't seen the little lynx for several days.

Every day, this little guy leaves early and returns late, and he doesn't know what he's busy with.

He was a little curious, Luo Shixing didn't need to do many things in person now, what was he doing so busy?

After finally being blocked by Luo Shixing during dinner, he found that Luo Shixing was actually taller than before in just a few days.

He couldn't help being a little surprised: "Did you draw it?"

Luo Shixing rubbed his stomach: "It seems so."

Anyway, he's been a little hungry recently. Al really thought about it and said, "You're... 11 years old this year, right? That's about the same."

To be honest, everyone was relieved that Luo Shixing started to jump in height.

Especially Wei Siwen, Wei Siwen knew Luo Shixing earlier than everyone else. Before he was exiled, Luo Shixing was only that tall. After staying here for more than a year, his height was almost negligible, which was too worrying.

Luo Shixing no longer has any relatives, and Wei Siwen is also here alone, he has long regarded Luo Shixing as his nephew, so he is inevitably worried about the child's height.

It's a joy to finally start to grow taller now.

Luo Shixing also heaved a sigh of relief, no matter how good-looking his face is without his height, it would be a pity to be told by others!

He sat down slowly, rubbed his calf and said, "Have you eaten? If you haven't eaten, please eat some with me."

In fact, Luo Shixing had already had a supplementary meal in the afternoon, but the stomachs of adolescent boys were like bottomless pits, they were full at the time, and hungry after a while.

Ale really sat down and looked at his listless look and asked, "What have you been running around these days?"

Luo Shixing took a sip and said, "Burn bricks."

Alzhen:? ? ?

In a trance, he thought he had returned to two years ago, and he couldn't help asking: "Why are you still burning bricks? No, you still need to keep an eye on burning bricks?"

Luo Shixing thought for a while and said, "I won't hide it from you, I'm working on a new steelmaking method, which requires a special kind of brick, so let me keep an eye on it."

Alzhen had heard Wei Siwen vaguely before, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you start doing it? Didn't you say you were going to do it before?"

At this time, Xiao Shanshi brought up a bunch of food with someone, Luo Shixing's eyes lit up instantly, and while staring at the food, he said, "Isn't this waiting for coking?"

Coal tar needs to be used on bricks for converters, of course not only coal tar, but also dolomite.

Without these two, if ordinary bricks encounter iron ore with a relatively high phosphorus content, it is easy for the original oxidized phosphorus to be reduced to phosphorus in the converter and re-enter molten steel, resulting in the brittle steel produced. , breaks easily.

In fact, limestone can dephosphorize molten iron, but an alkaline converter lining must be used.

So it was necessary to mix tar and dolomite to make alkali-made refractory bricks. Before that, Luo Shixing had been waiting for the progress of the coking plant.

There are not too many technical problems in the coking plant, it is purely a matter of efficiency.

Because at the beginning, no one knew whether this kind of refining would work, or whether the refining furnace would work, so there was only one refining furnace, and more refining furnaces would be built after the test was successful.

The converters used in steelmaking also need a lot of alkaline bricks, so it took a while.

During this process, Luo Shixing's only regret was that the coke oven gas could not be collected completely. Their collection technology was not very good, and the sealing of the container was not good. Most of the places that needed heat resistance used refractory mud.

However, there was no way to do it. The materials were limited, and Luo Shixing couldn't do it even if he wanted to.

It's just that after the gas is collected, there is another fuel in the alliance.

The only thing that needs to be careful is that this kind of gas is poisonous and has the risk of explosion, so it needs to be packed in a special tank and placed in a cool underground.

After it gradually entered the rainy season, it became too hot here. Luo Shixing was worried that if the warehouse on the ground exploded, it would be too dangerous.

Even so, he did not dare to store the gas inside the manor. Instead, he dug an underground warehouse at the foot of the northwest mountain and sent people to guard it. He made a big board out of bamboo and painted a skull on it. Represents danger.

Only in this way did he feel relieved to specialize in the research of steelmaking converters.

After the refractory bricks were fired, the converter also started to be made. When the first converter was finished, Cheng Jingwei walked around and asked curiously, "What is this next to it? A blower?"

Luo Shixing snapped his fingers: "Smart."

He didn't understand: "Where is the burning place?"

Luo Shixing chuckled and said, "This method doesn't need to light a fire under this stove, just use molten iron and a blower."

The blower blows air into the converter from the top, and then the impurities in the molten iron will be oxidized and emit a lot of heat. This part of the heat is used to smelt iron into steel.

In fact, if you can, blowing pure oxygen from the top can produce more and faster.

But still the same sentence, the production level cannot be reached, and now they are already a very advanced steelmaking method.

Because Luo Shixing's method is said to require no fuel, everyone came to watch on the day of the experiment.

When Luo Shixing saw that everyone from Alezhen to Wei Siwen to the bosses didn't bother, even Wei Ziyao, Xiao Shanshi and Wang Antong all came to join in the fun, he couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

He said helplessly: "It's not that no fuel is needed, but iron needs to be fired into molten iron."

Everyone responded to him humbly, and Cheng Jingwei put his hand on his shoulder and said, "Burn it quickly."

It is not difficult to burn molten iron now, because the main purpose of coking is actually to get coke, and all kinds of gas and tar are the by-products.

Coke is a very good material for making steel, and today blacksmiths use coke.

The fire in the furnace was very strong, and the iron ore gradually turned into molten iron. The blacksmith carefully poured the molten iron into the furnace, and then added limestone to it. At the same time, the blower started to work, blowing air into the converter through the air duct.

After finishing the previous steps, Luo Shixing clapped his hands and said, "Okay, that's it for now, let's see the finished product tomorrow."

The addict who was watching was caught off guard when he heard this sentence.

Cheng Jingwei couldn't help asking: "Is that all right?"

Luo Shixing said with a smile: "This method is relatively slow. It will take three to four hours. It will be dark by then, so let's go back to sleep and wait until tomorrow."

Cui Shenji on the side couldn't help but said: "If this method can be achieved, a furnace of iron in three to four hours, this... can be called terrifying."

Why are iron products expensive in Datang?Isn't it because refining is not easy?

And Luo Shixing is not ordinary iron, but steel!

If this can be done, among other things, at least they can be regarded as the number one in the world in this respect!

Luo Shixing walked out slowly, and said as he walked: "If I can't speed up, why should I do this? The main meaning of this is that the speed is fast and the output is also large."

Of course, this is compared to the current technology.

Cheng Jingwei followed him, watching him walk unsteadily, couldn't help asking: "Does it hurt?"

Luo Shixing paused, sighed, and squatted down: "Suddenly I don't want to grow taller."

After he started smoking, he was deprived of even his hobby of riding a wolf. The wolf was barely able to let him ride on him before. Now Luo Shixing's legs have grown a section in just a few months, and even his trousers are too small. Changed many times.

Riding a wolf is impossible, and I can't ride a horse. My legs hurt when I walk. No, let alone walking, it hurts even in normal times.

Cheng Jingwei squatted in front of him and said, "Come on, come up, brother will carry you back."

Only then did Luo Shixing laugh happily, and ran directly onto Cheng Jingwei's back, as long as he was not allowed to walk, it would be fine to call him brother.

Cheng Jingwei stood up with his back on his back, and frowned involuntarily: "You have grown so much, how come your weight hasn't changed at all?"

Luo Shixing lay on his back and moaned, "I don't know, maybe all the nutrients have been used to grow taller."

To be reasonable, he also had leg pains when he was developing in his previous life. Growing pains, who hasn't encountered them?

However, it was not as fierce as this time. He obviously ate so much, he wished he could eat five meals a day plus a supper, but he didn't grow any flesh on his body.

Oh, no, strictly speaking, it lost a little bit.

For a while, everyone had a headache.

The little lynx is not tall, they are worried.

Now that they are growing so fast, the children in pain don't even want to walk, and they worry even more.

Why do you feel more worried than your own children?
