According to the statistics of modern society, Shanxi was the province with the largest reserves of bauxite in the country. It was reasonable to say that it should be easy to find bauxite. However, if Li Zexuan wanted to find it in the shortest time possible, he could only go to his old classmate's iron mine.
Who asked him to go to that bauxite mine? Who asked the modern Shuozhou to still be called Shuozhou in the Tang Dynasty?
There were so many coincidences in this world!
After solving the material problem of the furnace lining, Li Zexuan was faced with another problem, which was the heat dissipation problem inside the furnace.
The melting point of iron was around 1,500 degrees Celsius, and the interior of the furnace was a relatively enclosed space. If the heat wasn't released in time, this thing was undoubtedly a time bomb. Once the heat accumulated to a certain degree, destroying the equipment was a small matter, but the damage to the personnel after the explosion was a big deal!
Modern furnaces used special fans with powerful horsepower. Naturally, the cooling effect was great. However, in this era, there was no electricity. Even if there was a fan, it could not be turned.
In fact, when it came to cooling fans, one had to talk about the ancient water drains. Many people thought that the water drains had the word "water" in them, so they should be irrigation tools. In fact, the water drains were invented by Du Shi during the Eastern Han Dynasty. At first, the water drains were called human drains, which used human power. Then, they used animal power and horses, which were called horse drains. Until Du Shi used water drains, it was called water drains.
In the future, the furnace in the workshop could use this type of water drains to dissipate heat. However, the dam on the Ba River had not been built yet. Without a certain drop in the water, it would be difficult for the water drains to turn.
"Let's use animal drains to dissipate heat first. Next year, we will build the dam and hydropower station. After the power grid is set up, we will think about other things. "
Li Zexuan muttered to himself.
Thinking of this, he picked up the pen and began to draw. With his current engineering skills and drawing skills, drawing an improved version of the saddle (a blower that was pulled by a horse) was not a problem.
In addition to blowing in air from the outside, the horse drains the internal heat of the furnace. It could also bring oxygen to the fire pool in the furnace and promote the combustion of the fuel.
On a winter night, everything was silent. There were no sounds of insects or birds. The only sound that could be heard in the study was the rustling sound of pencil rubbing against paper.
Yunshan was located outside of Chang 'an City, so there was no sound from the night watchman. For Li Zexuan, it was convenient for him to concentrate on thinking and drawing.
Under his modification, the blast furnace moved from modern times gradually lost its original appearance, but its efficiency did not decrease much. Moreover, the blast furnace after the modification was more and more suitable for the conditions and environment of the Tang Dynasty!
…
Two days passed in the blink of an eye.
Li Zexuan hadn't left the study for two whole days. Han Yuxi, who knew her husband's character, didn't persuade him to go back to his room to rest even though she wanted to! Because she knew that it would be useless to persuade Li Zexuan. Instead, it would only add to his troubles.
In the past two days, Li Zexuan had been eating and living in the study. In front of him, there was already a thick pile of drawings. Those drawings that had been ruined were thrown all over the floor. On the other hand, his face did not look haggard at all. This was all thanks to the enormous spiritual power brought to him by the "Supreme Mystery Sutra", as well as the endless flow of inner strength! Otherwise, if it were someone else, they would have collapsed from exhaustion!
Why did he work so hard? Li Zexuan might not be able to answer this question himself. Logically speaking, he now had power, power, and a beautiful wife. He only needed to eat and wait for death like other rich second generations. There was no reason for him to work so hard! If there was a reason, perhaps it could only be said that this was the stubbornness of an engineering nerd!
"Phew! Haha! Done! "
On the morning of the third day, Li Zexuan checked all the drawings that he had drawn in the past few days. After finding that there were no problems, he let out a long sigh of relief and laughed.
"Creak!"
Almost at the same time, Han Yuxi pushed the door open and entered. Her eyes were red as she said with heartache,
"Husband! Since you're done, quickly go and rest! Leave this place to this concubine! "
Judging from her speed, it was obvious that this woman had been waiting outside the study all this time!
Li Zexuan was a little touched. This little woman! How heartbreaking!
"Haha! Your husband isn't as delicate as you think! Don't worry, my wife! Why don't we go to the room to study the art of the boudoir? "
Li Zexuan touched his wife's smooth cheeks and said with a smile.
Han Yuxi said angrily, "Husband! Why are you still thinking about this at a time like this? Go to sleep! If you're still not asleep after 15 minutes, I'll just kill myself! "
To be able to say such things, it seemed that she was really anxious and angry.
Li Zexuan quickly said, "Okay, okay, okay! Your husband will go to sleep now! Wife, don't say such things in the future! Sigh! It seems that I have to wait a little longer before I can rest! "
Just as he was about to move to the bedroom, he suddenly stopped and said.
"Husband! You … "
"Haha! Wife, don't be anxious. It's not that your husband doesn't want to sleep, but there are guests! "
Han Yuxi was about to get angry, but Li Zexuan interrupted her and said.
After saying that, this guy walked out of the house slowly with his hands behind his back. The reason for that was that he heard footsteps coming from outside the house.
"Father-in-law! Faubert, Xiao Bing, you're here? "
After a while, Li Zexuan's laughter came from outside the house. Han Yuxi originally thought that Li Zexuan was just bluffing her, but after hearing that "Father-in-law", she couldn't be bothered to be angry with Li Zexuan and quickly ran out!
Outside the house, Faubert and Han Li brought Fubin and four other middle-aged men over.
"Young Master, I didn't dare to neglect the task that you gave me earlier. I'm here today to report back to you!"
Faubert stroked his beard and laughed.
"Haha! Let's talk inside! Let's talk inside! "
"Father? You're here? I'll go and get you some tea now! "
When Han Yuxi came out of the study room, Li Zexuan and the rest had just entered the main hall. When she saw Han Li, she said happily.
Although the Yunshan Residence was very close to the Han Family Village, after she moved in with Li Zexuan, Han Li rarely came over. Usually, he would only come over when he had something to do. That was why she was so excited now!
"Haha! Wife, don't forget to get Faubert a cup of tea too! "
Li Zexuan laughed and joked.
"Ah!"
Han Yuxi just realized that her father wasn't the only one who came. She quickly said guiltily, "Of course … of course I won't forget!"
Everyone let out a burst of friendly laughter.
Li Zexuan looked at Han Li and said with a smile, "Father-in-law, you have to visit us more often in the future! Otherwise, Yuxi will treat you as a guest! "
