After Cheng Pan suppressed his smile and came out of Wuwei County, he rushed west for twenty minutes, and confirmed that no one was following him and laughed loudly. After laughing, Cheng Pan stopped and thought calmly. Since Princess Zhao was in Wuwei County, her purpose was to learn martial arts and recruit martial arts masters in the world. She could not be so arrogant and ran around in the name of Taoist priests. Cheng Pan decided to hand over most of the tasks of collecting raw materials to others in the future. There are too few people on Jiangxin Island now. Cheng Pan calculated his own food reserves and could support 1,000 people to eat until the next harvest. Cheng Pan decided to continue recruiting people.

Five days later, Cheng Pan brought a crowd of 200 people home. He repeated his reward and punishment rules to the newcomers again. He asked the groups in Xiaohuang Village to take them back and adapt to their new life.

In the evening, in a spacious mud house, Cheng Pan and twenty people gathered together to start the first meeting of the organization.

"I called everyone here today, because there are some things to say." Cheng Pankai saw everyone looking at him carefully. So he continued to say it. "There are four hundred people in the village now, and everyone is busy with their own good days. In order to effectively manage, I am going to let some people take charge of a project alone."

"Chen Feng" Cheng Pan ordered a student he was the first to lead. "Go." Chen Feng stood up and shouted. Cheng Pan looked at him as he assigned the task. "There are now twenty-two agricultural groups. I appoint you as the head of the group. You are responsible for farming. Collect and record the experience of each group. What needs to be told to me, I want to see the harvest next year. In addition, you have to teach them to recognize words in the evening. If you have learned well, you have to write down and hand over the materials of these people to me." Cheng Pan assigned the task to Chen Feng and asked him to sit down.

Turning his head back and said to the two blacksmiths, "Master Zeng, Master Cai, you recruited more than 20 young men today, aren't you?" The two blacksmiths replied, "Young Master Cheng, this group of people is good. I promise to teach them basic crafts in a month." Cheng Pan said, "There is no hurry to teach craftsmanship. The people from your blacksmith shop will start tomorrow to smelify iron with me." "Smelting iron?" The two old blacksmiths were a little confused.

Cheng Pan continued, "It's not only the people from the blacksmith shop, but also the carpenter team and the mud tiles team will smel iron with me tomorrow."

Next, Cheng Pan explained some bits and pieces of the education team and the village protection team. At the end, Cheng Pan put Wang Gouzi in his mouth and said, "Xiao Wang, Wang Gouzi's name is too ugly. Can I change it to you?" Wang Gouzi said, "Sir, this name was obtained when I was a child. When we grew up, we would ask the teacher to ask another one. Later, the village scattered, and I wandered outside. Now the teacher has the most knowledge, please give it to me." Cheng Pan said after listening to his nagging, "Then call Wang Tianzhu, I hope you can become a man of heaven and earth." "Thank you for giving the name to Wang Tianzhu." Wang Tianzhu was very happy to get the new name.

Cheng Pan then said to him, "Tianzhu, you pick a few people and I will tell you something." Wang Tianzhu: "Sir, tell me." Cheng Pan said, "There are still too few people on the island. You can go out and find some people to come back. You can be young and young, both young and old. In addition, there is a lot of coal in the village in the future, so you can buy some. I will give you a thousand taels of silver to try." Wang Tianzhu said excitedly, "Sir, believe in me. One thousand taels is not a decimal." Cheng Pan said, "I always believe in people, and the other one thousand taels are not a big number for me." Wang Tianzhu lowered his head and bowed vigorously, "I will definitely live up to the entrustedness of the entrustedness."

The next day, Cheng Pan and more than 50 people began the large-scale steelmaking movement.

First, the masons built a blast furnace. The blast furnace was reworked several times before it reached Cheng Pan's goal. Cheng Pan carefully observed every inch of the furnace wall with a super sense and pointed out every small crack. Cheng Pan did not want an accident when he first smelted iron. Cheng Pan added some steelmaking knowledge he had known according to the steelmaking equipment he had seen in this era, such as adding a furnace to the outer wall of the pipe blowing like gas to heat the air injected. In order to prevent the blast furnace from being temperature.

The cold air from the outside will not fall due to the entry and descent of the outside. In order to separate iron ore and coke, the contact area between carbon and iron oxide will be increased.

Of course, there are more new technical concepts. Cheng Pan thought of it but did not use it, such as recycling of exhaust gas on the top of the blast furnace. This is mainly because Cheng Pan does not have too many craftsmen, and his capital is too small. If the first experiment fails, it will hurt his enthusiasm.

Despite this, the establishment of the first blast furnace was still a month old. Fortunately, the materials for kaolin and other blast furnaces were easy to find in counties near Xiaohuangzhou. Cheng Pan went out for half a day and transported enough materials in one round trip.

To make good steel, coking must be made. Coking can not only remove the phosphorus from coal. But if coke is used to directly make steel, the temperature in the furnace can be further increased. Therefore, Cheng Pan built another coking oven, which is not far from the first blast furnace. Cheng Pan did this to facilitate the transformation in the future and directly pass the waste gas generated by coking into the first blast furnace.

After preparing all the logistics work, Xiao Huangzhou's first iron smelting began after the first snowfall this year.

After adding iron ore and coke and balanced acidic lime powder to the blast furnace, the first blast furnace began to ignite. The blower made by the carpenters was running well with five donkeys as the power, constantly passing the heated hot air into the furnace. Originally, Cheng Pan thought that it was a water conservancy blower, but using hydraulic power required to dig a canal, so the workload was too large and the work was too high and the man had to give up. Cheng Pan could not directly build the blast furnace on the riverside. It was no joke that the water level of the Yangtze River rose in the summer. Wang Tianzhu returned from the door and brought good news. He not only attracted 100 newcomers but also twenty large animals, allowing Cheng Pan to get rid of the dilemma of wasting manpower.

The temperature in the furnace gradually increased, and Cheng Pan kept paying attention to the changes in the furnace with a super sense. Gradually, the molten iron in the furnace was generated. There was no sign of destruction in the entire blast furnace.

Everyone involved in the iron smelting looked at the blast furnace nervously. After more than a month of hard work, it was time to achieve results.

Cheng Pan felt the situation in the furnace and felt that it was time to turn on the furnace. He shouted "From the iron".

Several young men worked together to open the iron outlet with bamboo poles

The red molten iron flows out from the furnace port and enters the heating crucible next to it. The crucible also uses coal to maintain the temperature.

When the first furnace of molten iron was successfully released, everyone shouted excitedly.

"Mould, really molten."

"Young Master Cheng is really amazing. The skill of iron smelting is a magical skill."

Of course Cheng Pan would not be complacent. He smiled and shouted. "Don't slack off, the iron-fired group should act quickly, your group is responsible for adding ingredients quickly."

Then several people used a complex force transmission device to stir the molten iron in the crucible with a cooked iron rod. They kept stirring until the molten iron gradually solidified.

Another group skillfully used a pulley system to add hundreds of kilograms of raw materials from the blast furnace to the furnace, and started a new process operation.

When the first round of iron gradually solidified in the fireproof tank, it formed iron ingots.

The two old blacksmiths looked at the first batch of labor results today with a smile and said, "What iron, I will never see much of these irons in my life."

Cheng Pan also smiled and agreed. From the perspective of the 21st century, these irons are definitely scrap iron, and it is ugly to put them as roadblocks at the exit of the square.

However, compared with Cheng Pan in the official iron factory of the Yuan Dynasty, the finished product was higher than that in the Yuan Dynasty, the carbon content in the iron was greatly reduced after the iron was fryed, and the sulfur content in the iron was also greatly reduced by adding lime powder.

Cheng Pan smiled and said to the two blacksmiths, "There is no need for your elders to play in person in the future. I have found a blacksmith helper for you."

Cai Blacksmith asked, "Young Master Cheng, you have stuffed a lot of people into our blacksmith team. Who is it?"
