When the cold wind blows from the north, the temperature drops sharply, and even the river begins to freeze, Zhao Yu's blast furnace finally becomes.

The blast furnace stands by the water truck at the drop of the water tank in the backyard. There is a blower connected to the water truck. This blast furnace is not big, only two meters high. The inside and outside are made of Zhao Yu's steel with runes made of magic power, which is integrated.

Two thousand years later, the steel-making blast furnace in modern space-time must have refractory bricks inside, but Zhao Yu does not.

Therefore, the magical power of the talisman replaced many necessary structures, making this blast furnace very strange.

Not only does it require refractory bricks, but it also does not require coke.

And extremely efficient.

According to Zhao Yu's estimate, as long as the raw materials are sufficient, the high hardness, high toughness, high wear and corrosion-resistant steel that can be produced every day can reach a minimum of five tons, and the maximum may exceed ten tons.

In fact, the steel formula developed by Zhao Yu is probably different from the various steels in modern time and space. It seems to be the product of the fusion of various advantages of different steels. It is extremely practical.

Of course, this is nothing. After all, Zhao Yu is a monk. He now has magic power. If he has materials, he can even refine magic weapons, let alone such ordinary steel. His formula is based on the knowledge of modern time and space related books, combined with some means of refining weapons, and has developed a steel formula suitable for mortals.

Although many of the illusion of Tianyan Mirror are false, there are also many real truths. The real and false are eliminated, and the truth is preserved. Zhao Yu has now gradually completed this process in various experiments.

He has refined a lot of weapons and techniques in the illusion.

At the same time, there is also the technique of talismans.

At present, this blast furnace can be called a mother furnace. When Zhao Yu made this blast furnace, he racked his brains to decompose the immortal methods contained in the forging method of this blast furnace one by one, and obtained a manufacturing process suitable for mortals.

In other words, as long as there are enough materials for the process he decomposed, ordinary craftsmen can create blast furnaces of the same function. Perhaps the efficiency will be much worse, but they can make steel of the same quality.

Zhao Yu's purpose is not to create a magic weapon blast furnace. Magic tools are only suitable for monks. Unless there are many people in every generation in this world who can become monks, the method of refining magic weapons is out of print. After he leaves, it will be abandoned. But this is almost impossible. There are really few creatures with roots that are out of sight.

His purpose is to decompose the methods that are almost immortal and make them suitable for mortals. Only in this way can one achieve the effect of long-term and severe influence on time and space.

The blast furnace manufacturing process that Zhao Yu decomposed is definitely different from the mother furnace. Because the talisman technique will not be used, there are other alternative methods such as refractory bricks. To achieve the efficiency of this mother furnace, the volume must be increased by at least five times.

Although it has deteriorated in all aspects, it is already excellent enough.

Zhao Yuzhi looked at the blast furnace proudly and asked Wang Tian: "How many materials are there in iron ore, limestone and carbide?"

Carbonite is coal. The Xia people began to exploit and utilize coal on a large scale as early as the Western Han Dynasty. Therefore, it is not surprising that carbonite is not a problem. Wei Zhen's business has continuously transported the materials on the silk cloth that Zhao Yu had originally given to Wei Zhen over for this period of time, which forced Wang Tian to build a large warehouse for storage.

"A lot." Wang Tian said: "In the past month, the number of various materials shipped by Weijia Trading has increased significantly. The previous warehouse was almost impossible to save. The iron ore has exceeded 300,000 kilograms, and the carbonite is not much worse..."

"Three hundred thousand kilograms... are not enough." Zhao Yu thought intently and said, "Let Wei Zhen increase the large-scale mining. Anyway, the amount of glass and soap is large, and it is useless to put the money there, so it is useful to use it."

300,000 kilograms of iron ore are only 300 tons, which is too small. Even for rich ores, hundreds of tons of iron ore cannot produce much steel. This mother furnace can be quickly digested. Once more blast furnaces are built in the future, not to mention hundreds of thousands of kilograms, even hundreds of millions or billions are not enough to consume.

"Here."

Wang Tian immediately responded and kept it in his heart.

"Craftsmen need to be grouped." Zhao Yu's words were very jumping, but Wang Tian was already used to them.

Zhao Yu said: "On the cement kiln, just leave a few skilled craftsmen to guide you. It is a group of water trucks, so that they don't stick to my finished products. If more new functions can be developed, there will be rewards. It is enough to leave a ten people in the water truck team, and the rest will be assigned to the steel group. In the next few days, I will teach them the processes and methods of making this steel blast furnace..."

When Wang Tian heard this, he looked worried: "Boss, I don't know any big truth, but stainless steel is expensive and the smelting method is too important. You can't teach others easily."

Zhao Yu laughed and waved his hand: "It's okay. I believe them."

Zhao Yu did not believe in them, but believed in himself. If he didn't believe in it, no one would dare to do anything. Otherwise, the world would be so big that he would not be able to live in.

It is even more terrifying to offend Zhao Yu than to offend Cao Mengde.

"You just need to pay more attention to it. If you really have different ideas, just find it out early."

"Here."

Seeing that Zhao Yu had made up his mind, Wang Tian stopped saying anything.

"By the way, have the potatoes been harvested?"

Zhao Yu asked suddenly.

"Care it!" Speaking of this, Wang Tian immediately became furious: "Boss, you don't know! The yield of potatoes scared people! Many farmers were dizzy at that time..."

Zhao Yu thought about it in his mind and it seemed to be true. But at that time he was immersed in blast furnace manufacturing, and it seemed that Wang Tian had come to report it.

"How many are there?"

"The yield per mu is more than 200 stones!" Wang Tian took a deep breath. Although it had been a few days, when it came to this matter, the shock could not be concealed: "Two hundred stones, boss! If potatoes can be promoted, countless people will live!"

One stone is 120 kilograms, and two hundred stones are 24,000 kilograms, which is not beyond Zhao Yu's expectations. But in this era, it can shake people three times. Even in a good year and good weather, the yield per mu of grain is only two or three stones, 200 stones, that's a hundred times!

Zhao Yu nodded lightly: "Okay. If you don't eat these potatoes, don't eat them, keep them all. Make seeds at the beginning of the year and plant them... By the way, how much has the land been enclosed?"

Many things Zhao Yu ignored because he was immersed in the process of manufacturing blast furnaces, and he didn't even know about them.

"Lao Zhang has enclosed more than 30,000 acres of land. Only thousands of acres of them were bought with money, and the others were homeless wasteland. Before the beginning of the year, more than 50,000 acres of land must be no problem."

"Okay." Zhao Yu nodded: "Before sowing the year begins, remember to do a good job in land allocation."

Zhao Yu paused: "I don't care about many things in the village. You and Zhang Wang must do your best, and you can't be careless, otherwise..."

Zhao Yu said calmly, but when Wang Tian heard this, his expression immediately became stern and said, "Your boss, you are so serious. Zhang Wang and I were desperate people. Only by being favored by the Dong family can we have today. If we don't do our best, the gods and men will kill each other!"

Zhao Yu nodded: "That's good."

The super harvest of potatoes really made the people in the whole village happy until the beginning of the year.

People's heartfelt joy does not need words to describe.

In such an era, when wars were in chaos, such high-yield food was related to life for any people in the world.

Although Zhao Yu does not show up often, in the minds of the people in the village, he has long been a god who saves the suffering.

The end of the year has come. During this period, Zhao Yu has become more idle in addition to guiding craftsmen to make blast furnaces and the process of smelting steel. During this period, the Zhaojiazhuang guards led by Dian Wei also obtained a skill passed down by Zhao Yu.

Before he had arrived in this time and space, Zhao Yu created several martial arts in order to practice. What he taught them was a thick earth skill in the Five Elements Boxing Sutra.

After all, Dian Wei is different. Zhao Yu passed all the Five Elements Fist Sutra to him.

After a few days of guidance, he let go and left it all to Dian Wei for treatment. Dian Wei had something he didn't understand, so I asked him again.

In this era, the Spring Festival has not yet become the biggest festival.

The first festival after the beginning of the year is the Shangyuan Festival, which is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

On this day, Zhao Yu showed up very rarely and had a happy day with the people in the village.

And at the suggestion of Baili Shi and others, he presided over the sacrificial activities on this day.

Baili Master is in charge of Tianranju. In the past six months, Tianranju's business has become more and more prosperous. In addition, the output on the farm is getting richer, so he has already started to open a branch in the surrounding county towns. Of course, this is Zhao Yu's suggestion. Baili Master rarely returns to the farm, but he must come back during the holidays.

The sacrificial activities of the Xia people are very solemn. They express the awe of the Xia people for the nature of heaven and earth. That is, in this day, the Han Dynasty fell, otherwise every spring, the emperor would preside over the sacrifices. Sacrifice the spring god, sacrifice to Hebo, sacrifice to the rain master, etc. These gods are all the incarnations of nature. The sacrifices contain the ardent expectations of the Xia people for the new year.

There are great sacrifices in the country, and there are sacrifices in the folk villages. The three respected elders in the village have an important responsibility here. Sacrifice to ancestors and gods is to soothe people's hearts.

The so-called national affairs are about sacrifice and war.

Zhao Yu is not despised about this. Zhao Yu believes that worshiping natural gods and ancestors is a respect for the nature of heaven and earth and nostalgia for the ancestors to overcome obstacles, and is an indispensable part of humanity. On the contrary, in the era two thousand years later, people think that they have dominated everything and no longer respect.

I won’t talk about the sacrifice. For the specific steps, an old man came to tell Zhao Yu. Zhao Yu followed them one by one.

After the festival, I started to be busy again.

Especially after Qingming Festival, the farming business entered a busy stage. Around Qingming Festival, plant melons and beans.

Only in the era of war can people deeply realize the difficulty of peace. Therefore, no matter how busy they are, they are all happy in their hearts.

Zhao Yu became more and more leisurely.

It’s not that he doesn’t have more things to do, he has a lot of ideas, but it’s not time to start doing it.
