Uh... Sylvey looked at the shell for a while, then glanced at Roland's design sketch for a long time before pointing at the detonator part, and said, as if the copper tube was not aimed at the nail at the top.
Where is the spring?Anna asked, is it still stuck on both sides of the iron plate?
One of them is crooked.
Left or right?
Anna asked about the details and then recorded the questions one by one in the notebook.
After the collection failed, the reason was that the next four shootings could use Ah Xia’s playback ability. In this way, the improved efficiency naturally became unprecedentedly high.
Unfortunately, all the next two rounds of test shots failed, so Roland had to announce that he would continue the test tomorrow.
For Asha and Sylvie, their work today has been completed, and they can go back to the castle to enjoy delicious afternoon tea or go to the convenience market to see if there are any new products.
But for Anna and Agsha, the grenade test is just a small part of the busy work.
Especially Anna, in addition to improving the fuse according to the reasons for the failure, she also had to complete the development and assembly of the steam turbine.
Roland was planning to follow her to the north slope backyard to see the progress of the turbine model, but his guard Sean brought news from the city hall.
Your Majesty, Deputy Minister of Construction Losya, hopes that you can go to the furnace area. He said that the first distillation furnace has been set up.
……
As an essential facility for the coking plant, the ten planned distillation towers are all set next to the furnace group at the foot of the mountain in the north slope mining area.
Due to the extensive cutting of brick burning and iron smelting, the furnace group has changed from a small open space less than 1,000 square meters to a vast blank area extending along the mountain.
If Roland had not strictly prohibited workers from using the woods near the town, there would have been no tree left in the north of the border area.
Although there is coal now, the convenient and easy-to-get charcoal is still the main force of iron smelting. As the tree picking location becomes farther and farther away from the furnace group, workers set their sights on the north slope. Every day, hundreds of logs are cut off on the top of the mountain, and then thrown down from the top. From a distance, a small piece of bald spots have appeared on the green peaks.
Roland naturally would not ask them to protect the environment in such a thing. As long as the dust raised will not affect the town, he would not care if the North Slope Mountain was cut off.
After all, compared to the desperate mountains, this prominent mountain range is just a tiny corner. With leaves to maintain basic vegetation, there is basically no need to worry about soil erosion.
The flat lands that have been reclaimed at the foot of the mountain naturally became the most suitable site for coking plants.
Roland took the Nightingale and his guard through the noisy furnace area and arrived in front of the first distillation tower.
Losya immediately came forward and bowed to him and said, "Your Majesty, I built this double-layer furnace with refractory bricks as you request.According to the drawings, the upper stove should be closed with iron doors, and the middle mezzanine is also equipped with iron plates that can move freely, but I don’t know who to find to make these two things.In addition, the copper pipes and chimneys of the small stove on the side are also the same. Except for these metal components, the rest have been completed.
Roland got into the stove and checked it all. I have to say that as a member of the original stonemasons and an old friend of Carl Vanbert, Losya really has a lot of experience in masonry attainments.
The inner wall of the distillation tower, which is nearly two stories high, changes evenly, the gaps of each brick are basically the same, and the brick joints are intertwined layer by layer, without even a straight joint. It can be seen that it not only has an extraordinary arrangement ability, but also has a very serious construction attitude.
You should know that even if you use the same drawing, the finished products built by different people may be very different.
He did a good job, and after checking, he praised, "I will arrange for someone to cast the iron gate and iron plate, and then you can just use it to cover the refractory bricks on its fire-facing surface."
His Majesty, Losya hesitated and said, "Can you tell me how this stove works?"
What, do you also want to be a coking worker?Roland quipped.
Of course not, the other party shook his head quickly. I had never built such a strange furnace before, so I could only do the unknown descriptions on the drawings.If you can know its specific usage and function, you can not only complete it faster when building the second building, but also improve some unstoppable areas.
So that's it, Roland smiled and said, this type of furnace is mainly used to distillate coal, you should have seen how charcoal is burned, right?This is similar, but the scale is larger.The lower layer burns, the upper layer bakes, and the filler is all coal.
Grill coal with coal?Losya said in surprise.
That's right, coal can be converted into coke after dry distillation, and the burning temperature is higher. It is a good fuel for steelmaking.In addition, several by-products are produced during the distillation process, and the pipes on the tower wall are used to collect them, rather than exhaust chimneys.
Then...why do you need to build a small stove next to the stove?
There must be no air left on the upper layer during distillation, otherwise the coal will burn directly. Roland pointed to the holes reserved between the two furnaces. The limestone calcined in the small furnace will produce a large amount of carbon dioxide. You can understand it as a gas that cannot be burned...
Your Majesty, I know this, Losya follows, and this part is taught in the night class.
That would be simple, Roland was relieved. It seemed that popularization of education was being broadened a little bit by bit. Carbon dioxide would enter the upper layer of the furnace through the pipeline and squeeze out all the air, so that coal could achieve the dry distillation effect.As for limestone, it is the off-white stone used to burn cement, and it is everywhere on the north slope.
……
After inspecting the Distillation No. 1 Tower and returning along the original route, he stayed next to the furnace area for a while.
Just looking at the busy scene in front of him, Roland couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Various brick furnaces stand side by side, and at first glance it looks like a neat red forest. Dozens of smoke columns rise above the forest, grey, white and black intertwined, forming a very contemporary picture with simple-wearing workers and backward instruments.
More than a dozen steam engines were rumbling, pulling the conveyor belt to send pieces of raw materials and charcoal into the blast furnace; the track system was also laid from the mine cave to this place, and small mine trucks were running between the two places, and the iron ore transportation speed was no longer the same as before.
After the construction of the steel mill and forging plant is completed, this place will inevitably become another core place in Wudongcheng. From ore mining to smelting into steel, then converting from steel to various raw materials to send to the processing plant. The flower of industry will be born here, giving humanity extraordinary power and giving them the courage to overcome everything.
Where is the spring?Anna asked, is it still stuck on both sides of the iron plate?
