Bai Hui has misunderstandings about blast furnace products.
Strictly speaking, the products refined in a blast furnace from iron ore, coke, and limestone are pig iron, slag, and blast furnace gas.
Steelmaking uses pig iron, air and other metals.
But Bai Hui always feels that it is a joke that steel is a steel factory, so the steel comes out of the furnace. but Who is Bai Hui?
Lord Qin Dahe has enough authority and is a unique figure.
What's more, under the leadership of Bai Hui, he is indeed a master of steel in Cold Spring Valley.
Bai Hui didn't even understand.
The reason why Cold Spring Valley found steel in one furnace was because it used high-grade rich ores, extremely high-quality coke, and the rest were all top-grade materials, and it used Xiaoping, which had a low output. furnace.
Cold Spring Valley is a steel research institution.
Their steel-making consumption is not large, just to study how to obtain good steel and make it into weapons, rather than large-scale steel-making.
Fugang, the iron ore used here comes from two places, one is the ore in the central and northern part of the Chenguo Peninsula, and the other is the iron ore on the island where Fugang is located.
The quality of the ore is not comparable to the high-quality rich ore selected at the research institute level.
In front of two blast furnaces, Bai Hui took out the saber of the guard beside him, cut off a slender iron ingot, and threw the knife back to the guard with an unhappy look on his face.
Another heavy sigh.
Bai Hui knew very well that his little knowledge was not enough to help the craftsmen, but Bai Hui had his own way.
"I have ordered that all the craftsmen rest for two days.
Each of them will be rewarded with three kilograms of fish, half a kilogram of mutton, and a jar of wine.
After two days of rest, we will try again.
All the necessary supplies will be prepared."
"promise" Bai Hui gave the order and then walked to the two foremen.
The two foremen also looked ashamed.
They used to be the main furnace of Lengquan.
At that time, they did see steel in one furnace, but here, even the quality of pig iron is far from that of the Yiyang blast furnace.
Bai Hui didn't blame them.
Bai Hui said: "Don't take it to heart if you fail.
As the saying goes, failure means success.
Summarize your experience and find out the reasons.
Don't be anxious.
What I want is just Steel that can be used directly to make tools, not ordnance steel.”
The two foremen nodded silently.
The steel used in ordnance can be said to be the pinnacle of Qin's steel.
Not a single ounce of this steel is allowed to be circulated outside, and even the scrap must be collected and recycled.
"Rest, take a rest.
Try again in two days.
I don't mean to blame you.
Don't worry."
"Thank you Dahe-kun."
Bai Hui didn't eat or sleep well these days, so he was looking forward to being able to play the game.
Bai Hui knew that this was the largest steel plant in Asia in later generations, because the quality of the coal here was good, especially after adding the iron ore snatched from the Chenguo Peninsula and the high-quality coal snatched from Liaodong, the output was even higher.
It is extremely amazing.
What Bai Hui doesn't know is that the highest quality iron ore in the Chenguo Peninsula is not in the central and northern part of the Chenguo Peninsula, but in the Maoshan Iron Mine.
That place can be excavated, but it currently belongs to the Ji clan.
Bai Hui left the two blast furnaces and wanted to go back and take a rest.
Watching Bai Hui walk away, the two foremen wiped their sweat.
One of them said: "There must be nothing wrong with the stove.

It's better than the one the stove over in Yiyang tried to build in the first place."
"Yes, the furnace is fine.
I feel like the ore here doesn't seem to be good enough."
There was no ore detection technology in this era, and it all depended on the feeling of the craftsmen.
Therefore, there is no way to truly compare the quality of ore, and mass production and small-scale production with small open-hearth furnaces are two different concepts in themselves.
There is only one experimental blast furnace in Yiyang, and it is also very small.
The one who spoke initially continued: "My idea is that since there are two furnaces, we might as well try to refine it twice."
"How to say" "Roughly refine it first, and then refine it.
When refining, use the old method we used in Cold Spring Valley, sprinkle charcoal powder."
"You can try."
The two foremen discussed and began to assign tasks to their craftsmen.
Bai Hui asked them to rest for two days before working, but the craftsmen also thought that it would be too embarrassing to fail to achieve results.
They could receive the salary of the master craftsmen.
The iron workshop in Fugang was related to Qin's strategic layout in Liaodong and overseas. , so they are unwilling to wait any longer.
Big fish, big meat, big bowl of wine.
After preparing for everyone to have a good night's rest, we immediately started working hard.
Before the food and wine are ready, craftsmen have already begun some preparation work.
The five hundred coolie slaves who were responsible for breaking ore, transporting, etc. also received high-end meals such as rice, pancakes, and broth.
Bai Hui returned to the resting place.
Queen Mother Xuan was sitting in his study, looking through various documents.
Seeing Bai Hui come back, Queen Mother Xuan put down the documents in her hand: "I know that you are impatient.
You want to have enough iron to arm the battalions in Liaodong.
But does it work if you are impatient?"
"Queen Mother, this has nothing to do with armed forces.
I let iron tools be produced in large quantities here to stimulate Zhao State."
"How to say" "Queen Mother, the largest and most technological Yehe in Zhao State has been captured by our Korean army.
It can be said that Zhao State has no real large-scale ironworks at the moment.
In my opinion, there are four most important strategic materials in the world, respectively.
It’s grain, salt, iron, skin.”
Queen Mother Xuan nodded silently, Bai Hui was right.
Iron is not only used for making ordnance, it can be said to have countless uses.
According to the survey of Qin State, more than 70% of the knives used in the kitchens of ordinary people in Zhao State are not made of iron or copper.
There are ones made of bone and stone, and even many poor people don't need these at all.
They just boil wild vegetables and grains in a clay pot.
At a lower level, three stones support a clay pot.
Slightly better is the pottery tripod with three legs.
A kitchen is truly considered to have at least a stove, range, and knives.
The popularity rate of the coal cake stove and iron pot created by Bai Hui in Qin State has not exceeded 50%.
There are still countless people in Qin State using clay pots to cook rice, not to mention Zhao State.
Bai Hui continued: "Queen Mother, the first thing I want to do is to let the people who surrendered from Liaodong use iron tools.
This iron tool is not used by the Qin army, but is used by ordinary people for daily use.
Not to mention anything else, only the plowshare Xiang, the consumption of iron is huge, not to mention I hope every family has at least two pots.”
Queen Mother Xuan knew that Bai Hui's two pots were a great plan.
A large pot can be used for cooking rice or steaming food in a bamboo basket.
The small pot can be used for cooking and cooking.

Cooking is something that is impossible for ordinary people.
The fine powdery snow-white salt alone limits cooking.
What's more, the output of vegetable oil in the entire Qin State is less than 100,000 kilograms, which can only supply the needs of the nobles
