Chapter 170 Steelmaking!
Rumble! Rumble!
There were a burst of sounds of ancient giant beasts roaring from far to near, from high to low.
I saw a fiery red horse rushing downwards, reaching the ground, revealing its full picture, it seemed to explode, and countless sparks burst out in an instant!
These sparks are numerous and burst into a very far distance, like stars in the night sky, and soon it seemed like a meteor shower hitting the ground and the high walls far away!
"Wow!"
“It’s so spectacular!”
"So beautiful! This is even more beautiful than the most beautiful scenery in the world!"
Such a spectacular scene naturally attracted the admiration of onlookers. At this time, there were several people on the platform on the side, wearing thicker clothes that looked like work clothes, holding an iron cover in their hands, and there were lenses that looked like obsidian on the cover. The three concubines of Li Mengyang, Huang Rong, Yilena, and Fiona, who exclaimed were Li Mengyang's three concubines, Huang Rong, Yilena, and Fiona.
What are they looking at?
This majestic and beautiful scene is nothing else, it is blast furnace steelmaking!
Yes, the one that rushed down just now was molten iron, but our blast furnace was relatively high, and the molten iron was really majestic when it rushed down, and the sparks were really beautiful.
Now, Li Mengyang and his three concubines are here to visit the newly built and put into production of the steel factory. The one just now is the first pot of pig iron!
Not only Emperor Li Mengyang, but also William Thomson, Sellers Field, the Minister of Science and Industry, and other ministers also came to join in the fun. Because this steel plant is the first to release iron today. This is really an important day.
"Teat r-grace!" Thomson spoke first. Although he was not very good at dealing with Emperor Li Mengyang, he respected these concubines more. "In our steel plant, the method of steelmaking is nothing special, but the production capacity is more prominent. This is probably a relatively large pig iron blast furnace in the world today. I estimate that the annual output is about 100,000 tons, which may also break through this number."
"Wow! One hundred thousand tons!" Li Mengyang's three concubines. No matter whether it is Huang Rong, Elena or Fiona, they all had round mouths after hearing this number, expressing their surprise.
Others also had such expressions, especially the Chinese ministers, who were shocked!
Yes, this steel mill is too powerful, right?
However, our Emperor seems to be a little...
"Oh~ It's only 100,000." Li Mengyang's tone seemed to take this number seriously!
"..." Everyone was silent for a moment, and they all looked at our Emperor.
It’s already 100,000. What else do you want?!
"Ahem..." Mr. Thomson's nose was almost pissed at this time. You emperor is too much, right? Is the annual output of 100,000 tons not satisfied?
However, Thomson spoke politely, "Of course, this steel factory also has our great emperor involved in the design. Obviously, His Majesty the Emperor at this time is demonstrating his virtue and modestness."
"..." Everyone laughed, and everyone understood that this was a different way of mocking His Majesty the Emperor. However, this was the norm for Mr. Thomson. This scientist was really too knowledgeable and powerful. The relationship with His Majesty the Emperor was indeed quite complicated, so he dared to speak like this.
"Oh." Li Mengyang realized at this time that he might have said the wrong thing just now, "Sorry, sorry, I really don't understand steel and iron making. Don't take it to heart if you participate in the design. This is all..."
Originally, Li Mengyang really wanted to be modest because he really didn't know what steelmaking was, but he had really helped a little before. It was when this steelmaking plant was being built, he drew a few more "chicken pecking rice pictures".
Don’t forget that Li Mengyang was a native of Northeast China before traveling through time, and the Northeast China was an old industrial base. Although he was a liberal arts student, he really never saw a steel mill. Moreover, this... is only 100,000 tons? In Li Mengyang’s consciousness, this output is all within the scope of shutdown and rectification?
However, Thomson did not let him finish his words, and he interrupted, "Our Majesty is too modest! This is the virtue of the Oriental people! What is that slogan? Mr. Liszt?"
Of course, Liszt had to come for such a big event, but he also knew that Thomson had something to say, but... so what?
The slogan "hail-lee!" came out, and Liszt had some tricks, "What a humble emperor! How can there be such a virtue in the world? I have never seen it! Moreover, our Majesty can even help a great scientist like Mr. Thomson! This is simply thanks to the Lord! Your Majesty you gave us is not only a writer, thinker, strategist... musician, but even a scientist! Comrades!"
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
You should know that so many Dayuan gathered here, and there are still many workers in this steel mill, so this slogan is like a tsunami!
"..." Thomson's face was stern. To be honest, he really couldn't stand this guy Clint Lee. If he didn't become an emperor, he would have nothing to do for him, because Clint Lee was really very talented and had many other bureaucrats and big men who didn't have. Sometimes they could really talk together, but...
Why did he have to be this damn emperor!
Moreover, what's wrong with this person! Why did he give this emperor and this dictator so much support!
In fact, Thomson could also figure out some reason, that is, Clint Lee did allow these individuals and revolutionaries to get a lot of benefits. Following Clint Lee's individuals, life is better than before, but... Isn't it okay to be an emperor?!
"That..." In fact, Li Mengyang is honest. He doesn't want to do this either. But now that's it, your voice is so high, and it's just so popular. So, even if Li Mengyang wants to explain it to Thomson, he can't do it, because he understands very well that doing that may make Thomson, a proud scientist, think that he is showing off to him and demonstrating.
"Hehe, hail-lee!" Not only others, Li Mengyang, the three concubines, shouted, but they were obviously not serious.
"Okay, okay." Li Mengyang naturally knew about his own people, but his current situation... Hey, why is it so strange?
However, at the moment, this is a match between Liszt and Thomson. It’s a bit of a storm. His court...oh no, it seems that there is not harmony in the leadership team, but... it’s very good, it’s really good!
If they are all harmonious, then they will be uncomfortable as the emperor.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Nassellus Field inserted in. His attitude was serious and humble, saying, "I don't understand one thing. We already have such a large-scale steel plant. How can we use such a high steel production in the future?"
In fact, Sellers Field said it more implicitly. He just thought that the steel production is so large, so how can it be sold in the future?
You know, the situation in the New Tang Empire in the United States is not very good now. The whole world is strangling and blocking it. Then no one is doing business with you. How can you do this?
"Your idea is good." Li Mengyang unconsciously put on the style of a leader. It's right, he is the emperor, but the key is because Field's attitude is more humble, Li Mengyang naturally regards himself as a leader. This... bureaucratic system!
Li Mengyang quickly dispelled these messy thoughts, and then took out a piece of paper from his arms with a smile, but it did not open it.
"Actually, our military industry still needs a lot of steel, so if it is 100,000 tons, I think it's not enough. We have to build more guns and cannons, but I don't mind too much!"
"Hmph!" As soon as Li Mengyang's words came out, Thomson immediately made a nasal sound.
He is a scientist. As long as a scientist is not too crazy, he will not want to serve his scientific achievements in war, because it is really a terrifying and infamous for thousands of years.
But Li Mengyang had no choice but to laugh now. He spread the paper out of his mind and said, "Besides guns, we have to build this."
"this!……"
"ah?!"
When the members of the officials saw the thing on this piece of paper, they were all shocked!
I saw a very interesting ship drawn with charcoal pen on this piece of paper. It should be said that it was a ship, but this ship was completely different from the current ship, with stacks of cannons on it!
Stacks?
Yes, we can see from the painting that those cannons are stacked in lumps... The chicken pecks at the rice picture, don't ask too much.
However, the ship has a very large logo, which says, 'At least 200 meters long, steel hull...'
My God!
200 meters long, what a giant ship? And it must be all metal hulls. What is this... what is this?
"Battle-ship! (battle-ship!)" Li Mengyang has already thought of all his names. Yes, this guy is drawing a battleship that will roam the sea in the future!
But... this style is really complaining.
However, now we have to build a giant ship of more than 200 meters. How is this possible?
Is Li Mengyang too anxious?
"Crazy! It's simply crazy!" Mr. Thomson said so, but there was a craziness in his eyes!
Because, although the thing Li Mengyang painted is rough and bad, this form is really sci-fi!
Have you ever seen such a narrow and pointed bow?
Have you seen so many cannons?
Have you ever seen a ship without a mast?
"Oh oh!" But suddenly, the Lister came again, "Comrades! Our great Majesty is not only a scientist! He is also a great painter! No! He is a great artist! Praise!"
This... When Li Mengyang heard this, he was a little bit sirable, but!
“all-hail-lee!”
“all-hail-lee!”
Popularity, that's how cool! (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
