Chapter 227: Steelmaking
Su Yue saw that these were all essential things for making bricks!
This time, she brought with her special militia from Zhongli, many of whom had participated in building houses.
Su Yuejian selected the people who had participated in building houses, repairing roads, and making bricks, and there were more than 600 people.
She left half of her staff here to guide and train the locals, starting with making large modular bricks.
The sandbags brought from previous flood control efforts contained large amounts of sand and gravel, which could also be used to build houses. They were made into concrete with iron filings in proportion.
Then she found a local blacksmith. She needed iron bars, as iron bars were required inside the large modular masonry to increase strength.
After arranging the reconstruction here, Su Yuejian left the survival supplies needed by the victims to Wu Dahong, and left the rest of the work to the local officials and people.
Fortunately, the temperature is relatively high now, so it is feasible for the victims to sleep outdoors for a period of time.
Su Yuejian took another three hundred people and threw them into the spiritual space and then teleported to the earthquake-stricken area [Xifu County].
At this time, a month had passed since the earthquake in Xifu County.
Shen Nanxing's support here is almost coming to an end.
The 800 rescue soldiers led by Wang Chuanmeng also completed the rescue mission.
The lifeless atmosphere here was swept away by the arrival of the fairy envoy Su Yuejian.
When Chen Qingran saw Su Yuejian, it was like seeing a relative.
The immortal messenger said their surname was Chen, so maybe they are really a family if you count a few generations back?
"The Immortal Envoy is here!"
"I have brought a team of 300 people to build houses. Together with my 800 soldiers, you local men whose homes have been destroyed will be recruited to rebuild sturdy earthquake-resistant houses together.
This place is in an earthquake zone, and even the house frames with iron bars cannot withstand the earthquakes here.
Get the smiths going, I need them to make stronger steel bars!"
Chen Qingran accompanied Su Yuejian to the iron workshop, where they saw Su Yuejian pouring out the iron powder in her space, and soon a small hill of iron powder was poured out.
The blacksmith's scalp tingled!
Is this the real Bodhisattva?
Smoke is coming out of my ancestral grave. Has this made me, an old man, see the real God?
Su Yuejian retrieved the apocalyptic reconstruction data of ancient Earth from the Cross Star Library, which included a technical guide to steelmaking.
Walking to the desk, Su Yuejian picked up paper and pen and began to write and draw.
She first drew a steel-making blast furnace with a tuyere where a blower could be connected.
Before the molten iron is cooled, it is transferred to another converter, where air is continuously blown into the molten iron while it is stirred, thus producing steel that is better than iron.
In addition to drawing a blast furnace, Su Yuejian also drew a converter with air blown from the top.
The iron-making technology here has always been good, and coking coal is also available in this era. With just a little bit of improvement, better quality steel can be produced.
Brick firing and steelmaking were carried out simultaneously in Xifu County. At the same time, Su Yuejian helped them choose a site for building houses, trying to avoid active areas of the earth's crust and stay away from the mountains.
The rest of the people are laying the foundation.
Zhongli still has eight hundred patients from Xifu County. The house here is being rebuilt and there is no place to sleep. Once the house is built, Su Yuejian plans to teleport the patients here.
Leaving rations for the rescue team, she went to Tailiang, Western Sichuan, Shancheng, Guitai, Southern Hunan, Liuxi and other prefectures to fight the flood.
After all this trouble, Zhongli's rescue team was left in almost every place.
