Chapter 546 Steel Plant
After walking for about ten minutes, Master Niu brought Xiao Ya to the gate of the steel factory.
The difference from the cement factory is that there are only a few large sheds built there, but here there is not only a whole circle of tall walls, but even as many as a militia company as a defense force.
Because the tribal alliance agrees that the iron and steel plant is such an important place, it must not be stolen by other forces...
"Stop coming, please show your ID." A trembling voice shouted.
Obviously, the young soldier guarding the factory gate had already recognized the person coming as Master Niu himself; however, according to strict regulations, he still had to shout this and check his credentials in detail.
For this reason, Master Niu did not show any displeasure, on the contrary, he felt quite relieved.
That's because such measures are basically the regulations made by Mr. Niu himself: when entering and leaving these key factories, relevant documents must be shown; certification does not recognize people, even Mr. Niu.
In addition, there is another point in Master Niu's heart that cannot be said:
During this period of time, he ran to the steel factory to guide production in two or three days, and the guards at the gate could often see him, Mr. Niu, who was quite a majestic figure.
But what I didn't expect was that after seeing so many times in a row, these guards were still so excited.
This can only show one thing, his master Niu, in the minds of the broad masses of the people and the soldiers of the coalition forces, the glorious and majestic image is becoming more and more important!
In their pockets, Master Niu and Xiaoya took out the so-called documents and handed them over to the soldier for inspection.
A small piece of cardboard is wrapped in a transparent plastic soft case, with simple information such as the holder's name and position printed on it.
In the most conspicuous place in the upper left corner, there is a printed head portrait of the holder with a big head sticker.
This kind of label that is still used by the lowest-end factories in the modern plane is an important certificate issued by Master Niu for important units and personnel.
The cost of the entire set of documents is estimated to be no more than one yuan in Huaguo currency; it is full of third-rate small workshops, with a strong smell of dick.
The only thing worthy of praise is that in the original plane, this thing is simply impossible to imitate.
This can be regarded as a solution. With the advancement of industrialization in the future, when there are more and more confidential units like this, the huge problem that security personnel will encounter when verifying their identity.
Even in Master Niu's plan, in the next period of time, all members of the tribal alliance will each receive a copy of this thing.
It can be regarded as the plane of the primitive era, and it is used as the ID card of the tribal alliance.
At that time, the entire territory of the Luolei Mountain Range will be managed as a monolith by him; the spies sent by other forces will be caught by the people in minutes...
The guard at the gate of the factory, after carefully comparing the photo on the ID card with the appearance of Master Niu, stood up straight and gave Master Niu a military salute that was completely copied from Rabbit's house.
He shouted loudly: "Master Niu and Miss Xiaoya welcome your arrival."
Then a trace of shyness covered the young warrior's face.
He muttered in his mouth and asked: "Well, can you sign for me? Just sign it on my military uniform."
"My lord, the fighters under my command are really simple and lovely; isn't it just such a small matter? They are so shy." Master Niu thought so.
But for some reason, he felt more joyful.
Then, in Master Niu's eyes full of encouragement and kindness, I saw the young and simple soldier in Master Niu's heart, grabbed the corner of his military uniform, and continued: "My host, I like you so much!" program."
In the following process, when Mr. Niu saw the little girl with a reserved smile on her face and skillfully wrote two crooked names on the corner of the guard soldier's clothes, the embarrassment in his heart Suddenly reached the extreme.
At the same time, he made up his mind.
After we go back, we must call together the high-level commanders of the coalition forces like Mang, and discuss with them how to strengthen the training mission.
By the way, even the second-line guards in various places must not let go of such training strengthening.
*****
Through the gate of the fence, Master Niu walked into the steel factory.
The first thing that catches the eye are two indigenous blast furnaces, one large and one small; these two treasures are also the two most important pieces of equipment in the entire steel plant.
The big blast furnace is ten meters high, and its shape is narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, like an enlarged vase.
This is the earth-based steel-making blast furnace designed by a group of experts from the modern plane, based on the materials of the local methods of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, for Master Niu.
Although the appearance of the blast furnace looks a bit rustic, the round interior of the blast furnace can hold ten tons of iron ore at a time.
This astonishing output is simply unimaginably huge for this era.
Because the refractory materials in the blast furnace are all high-end products from the modern plane, plus a blower driven by a camel boiler, the temperature in the blast furnace can reach a level that craftsmen of this era can't even imagine. the point.
That's why it takes only half a day to burn a whole furnace of iron ore into molten iron...
The time when Master Niu arrived was exactly when the entire furnace of molten iron was processed.
Under his gaze, after an operator moved the switch, the fiery red molten iron rushed out, along the specially made connecting channel, and flowed into the slightly smaller frying iron furnace not far away.
While the molten iron was flowing through the passage, several strong men in thick protective clothing used special shovels to pick out the slag.
The shape of the iron frying furnace is like a huge wooden bowl, which can hold ten tons of molten iron at one time.
After the molten iron reaches the large bowl, it needs to be heated slowly with a small firepower.
At the same time, several totem warriors whose strength was above the third level, holding long alloy steel rods in their hands, worked hard to stir them together in the big bowl.
During the stirring, a magical scene happened: the hot molten iron gradually thickened, and finally turned into lumps of molten iron full of gelatinous texture.
There is no need to talk nonsense from the onlooker Niu. The blacksmith brigade of hundreds of people divided into two groups, and used large steel tongs to pick up a lump of molten iron that had solidified slightly, and moved it to the forge not far away. , and began to beat vigorously.
After repeated forging, finally pieces of wrought iron ingots were processed and neatly stacked in the shed a little far away.
In fact, such wrought iron could already be called steel in the ancient times of the rabbit family.
It's just that for Master Niu who is used to high-quality alloy products in the modern plane, there is really no difference between steel and iron at this level.
Anyway, they are all used to make farm tools and iron pots...
Master Niu is also very clear, considering the astonishing output of the Rabbit House in the modern plane, no matter how scary the quantity and variety of materials he needs, he can easily meet his needs.
However, he still insisted on carrying out various industrialization processes in Luolei Mountain Range.
That's when he also realized that, only when he mastered this technology and showed it to the natives, would they be convinced and join him.
The natives of the primitive era were ignorant at times, but they definitely cannot be called stupid...
