In fact, it is indeed the case.

After Li Ming returned to the Shaofu, he began to make preparations.

The first step was to summon the craftsmen from the Shaofu and the officials sent by the Ministry of Industry.

At the same time, he picked out the information on reservoir construction and blast furnace ironmaking from the books he signed.

I have to say that in the past half a year.

Something he signed.

Especially in terms of technology, there are really many.

After this is sorted out.

Only then did I realize that there were as many as twenty or thirty books.

"These are information related to iron smelting and reservoir construction. Take a look and give me a plan as soon as possible."

He spoke towards the more than 20 officials from the Ministry of Industry and more than a dozen officials from the Shaofu in front of him.

"No!"

More than fifty people responded quickly.

And after accounting for these people.

Li Ming still has to check on pig raising and locust purchase matters.

It can be said that the original workload has increased a lot in an instant.

But fortunately, the people from the Ministry of Industry and the Young Mansion are extremely capable.

In less than three days.

The related technologies of blast furnace ironmaking were sorted out.

"Your Highness, this method is extremely feasible."

"I don't know where your highness came from. This is a magical weapon that will benefit the world."

A young official looked at Li Ming with bright eyes, and his expression was a little excited.

While sorting out the information, he couldn't help but be shocked.

The iron-making technology mentioned in this information was something he had never been exposed to or seen before.

Although he didn't try it, those few words made him feel that it could be done.

And this undoubtedly excited him.

Because the output described above really made his scalp feel numb.

If the Tang Dynasty could really produce a large amount of steel as described in the book, its impact would be unimaginable.

"I got the method from my father, what do you need?"

"As long as it can be satisfied, I will be satisfied. However, within half a year, I will need to see if more than 300,000 kilograms of steel can be achieved."

When asked by the Shaofu official, Li Ming explained casually, and his words turned to iron smelting.

If you want to build a reservoir, the steel required will undoubtedly be tens or hundreds of tons, and this is still the beginning.

Therefore, Li Ming must ensure that ironmaking can reach this value.

But after he finished speaking, he was a little nervous.

This is not the future after all.

In later generations, ordinary steel production is more than 5 million tons a year; special steel production is more than 3 million tons to be called a large enterprise. Even small steel plants in rural areas can produce hundreds or thousands of tons a month.
p>

But that is the result of various high-tech equipment and sufficient supplies.

More than a thousand years ago.

Without a variety of high-tech equipment and insufficient supplies, it is not that easy to ensure sufficient production.

"Three hundred thousand tons, half a year?"

"Your Highness, if what is said in this book is true, I think half a million catties or even a million catties will not be a problem."

The young official spoke with certainty in his voice.

"Okay!"

"You start organizing the manpower now. All the remaining resources and manpower of the Young Mansion are up to you."

"Within half a year, I need to see your results."

Li Ming nodded and agreed directly.

"No!"

The Shaofu officials responded quickly.

Then the mighty iron smelting kicked off.

The first is the indigenous blast furnace, which gradually stood up.

........

"Increase the firepower!"

"Yes, yes!"

"That's it!"

A loud voice shouted.

More than a thousand years ago, the first blast furnace ironmaking also started with this call.

The raw materials have been prepared.

Iron ore, and coke.

That’s right, it’s coke.

Raw coal cannot be used to make steel, it can only be made after coking.

Coking refers to a process in which coking coal is heated to about 1000°C in isolation from air and produces coke, coke oven gas and other coking chemical products through thermal decomposition and coking.

Among the technologies of signing in, there is the most complete technology of coking.

Of course it is not too difficult.

In just one day.

The coal has already completed coking.

Once you reach this point, you can naturally start making steel.

Nowadays, the steelmaking methods compiled by the Shaofu people and the Ministry of Industry people from various technologies in previous lives can no longer even be regarded as complete indigenous steelmaking.

In the past life, when domestic steelmaking was made, the production conditions were too crude, resulting in the steel produced containing many impurities. In addition, the carbon added was of different standards, and there were no professional tools. The bubble content in the steel was too large, and the structural strength was low.

Unable to meet application requirements.

But now, although there are still some problems, the method put together by dozens, or even hundreds of the most elite craftsmen of this era, is undoubtedly more perfect.

Only the first furnace was declared a success.

And the effect of steel is not as bad as imagined.

It made people excited for a moment.

Further adjustments began immediately.

There will be less than ten days left.

Blast furnace ironmaking keeps opening up and smelting.

The quality of the molten iron produced began to improve rapidly.

Until the last light of June gradually comes to an end.

The blast furnace was completely determined.

Compared with the worst blast furnaces, today's blast furnaces are more complete, and the quality of the molten iron produced is fully up to standard.

There is not much difference in quality from some ordinary steel products in later generations.

It can be said that it is perfect when we reach this moment.

After all, special steel cannot be refined by this local method.

Unless you have those technologies and high-tech equipment, it is possible.

But even so, these ordinary grades of steel are enough.

In Li Ming's nod.

At the same time, hundreds of blast furnaces began to be rapidly constructed within Shaofu.
