Before Li Zhe returned to modern times, the industrial complex in Xiangcheng had already begun to be fully constructed. The former craftsman camp and a large number of former Cao army households formed a semi-militarized group similar to the frontier development corps in modern time and space. More than 100,000 people worked hard to build an industrial special zone in time and space in the Three Kingdoms.

First of all, large-scale land reclamation was carried out on the basis of the former Cao Cao army's military camp. The development was extremely smooth. The craftsmen built various large-scale logging tools, various saws, and large-scale combined machines with pulley group labor-saving devices as the core. In addition to the specially reserved green area, the large-scale forest was almost cut off, and neat fields were freed up, stretching endlessly, and there was no edge at a glance. Large-scale reclamation and deep cultivation were prepared to plant autumn wheat smuggled from modern time and space.

This is for the future residents of industrial zones to provide a large amount of food. Highly centralized industrial zones require a highly centralized grain supply. No matter what kind of industry it is, first of all, agriculture is the foundation. Without sufficient agriculture, there will be no foundation for industrial existence. Therefore, the first step in building an industrial zone is to build a large area of ​​industrial farms.

Then there is water use. Industry consumes much more water resources than agriculture. Where there is no sufficient water resources, there is also no possibility of industrial concentration. This canals, drinking water, and introducing water sources from the two major tributaries of Rushui and Water, and digging wells on site, can basically solve the problem. After all, the time and space of the Three Kingdoms are completely different from modern times. The problem of lack of water resources is rarely seen in other areas except for places with a population of millions such as Chang'an and Luoyang.

Immediately afterwards, the exploration and development data of Pingdingshan Mining Bureau bought from Modern Time and Space at a high price. It named dozens of places and developed them into open-pit mining areas. The large-scale mining of various ores was carried out, including coal, iron, aluminum, salt, refractory clay, limestone, flux limestone and silica.

As fuel, refractory clay and limestone are used to burn cement, and cement is used to pave roads and repair houses. Refractory bricks and silica sintered silicon bricks can be used to build blast furnaces. They are excellent heat-resistant materials, as well as traditional pottery making, burning bricks, etc., and large-area building industrial foundations are emerging first.

Rows of cement brick houses have begun to be built on a large scale, building a concentrated residential area for workers in the industrial zone. This is the first large-scale use of cement in the Three Kingdoms time and space. Its efficiency shocked those brick and tilers in the past. The huge houses of the past are now growing on a plain with a look every day under the action of cement and bricks. The rows of neatly arranged, like soldiers waiting for inspection. This is the first time that the aesthetic taste of collective industrialization is displayed in the Three Kingdoms time and space, representing the iron-like order and the passion of fire! It shows the vast future of industrialization in the Three Kingdoms time and space!

Then there was the construction of a coking oven. The craftsmen absorbed the experience of cement furnace and steelmaking in Runan County, and began to consider increasing the combustion temperature again. Coking is imperative.

The construction of this new type of coke oven was also carried out under the guidance of Li Zhe and the reference of a large amount of modern materials, and it has gone through various hardships.

Although the craftsmen of the Three Kingdoms time and space were not original, their ability to copy the cottage was beyond imagination. After absorbing the experience of burning charcoal in history, the craftsmen also improved the coke oven to be as decent as the carbonization chamber, combustion chamber, heat storage chamber, fire passage, furnace roof, and flue. The carbonization chamber and combustion chamber are separated by high-temperature refractory materials, and the gas from the heat storage chamber enters the combustion chamber to fully burn, heat the carbonization chamber from the side to form coke. The furnace roof is filled with channels, coal loading channels and waste gas outlets distilled from coal materials, as well as fire holes, and flames and temperatures.

In the construction of coking ovens, silicon bricks made of silica were used in large quantities as refractory materials, giving full play to the local resource advantages, and greatly enhancing the experience of craftsmen, and gaining a new understanding of this refractory material. This is widely used in various industrial processes below.

Then, it was blast furnace ironmaking and crucible steelmaking. Li Zhe created a large number of materials on the local blast furnace and brought them to the Three Kingdoms time and space for reference. Although there was no crucible carbon-increasing steelmaking in the Han Dynasty, there were very few experiences in the crucible carbon-increasing method to refine pig iron. In modern time and space, tombs of crucible steelmaking in the Eastern Han Dynasty were unearthed.

In fact, it is said that blast furnace iron smelting is essentially a modern improvement of ancient vertical furnace iron smelting. Of course, even vertical furnace iron smelting seems to be in time and space of the Three Kingdoms. The similar ones are only the vertical furnace used in bronze casting. During the production of blast furnace, iron ore, coke, and slag-making flux (limestone) is loaded from the top of the furnace, and preheated air is blown from the air outlet located at the bottom of the furnace. At high temperature, the carbon in coke is burned with the oxygen in the air, and the oxygen produced by combustion in the air is removed from the furnace, thereby reducing the iron. The refined iron is released from the iron mouth. The impurities that are not reduced in the iron ore and fluxes such as limestone combine to form slag and discharged from the slag outlet. The generated gas is derived from the furnace top and after dust removal, it can also be used as fuel for hot air furnaces, heating furnaces, coke ovens, boilers, etc.

Such a blast furnace is more than ten meters high, and it will take several months to build it. In short, it is extremely difficult. Like crucible steelmaking, it is difficult to see the effect in the short term.

The crucible is a batch of modern high-quality graphite and quartz crucibles of different sizes and shapes brought by Li Zhe from modern times to help rescue emergency services. After all, this kind of thing is very demanding and difficult to complete in a short period of time. It is also used in many occasions, so it can be smuggled directly. For this reason, the diesel engine of the entire publicity system was powered off for several days. It took quite a lot of trouble.

Next is the truly epoch-making industry in ancient China - the glass industry. In ancient China, there was never real glass, only glazed, which has always been a puzzling thing for people studying the history of ancient Chinese science and technology. But now, Li Zhe is about to change this state. The reason why he wanted to take this project was because Li Zhe suddenly discovered that explosive technological progress really cannot be separated from these things. The main force in the technological development of the craftsman camp - the alchemist - the request of Li Zhe to smuggle glass products issued by Li Zhe has reached the height of the mountain!

In the industrial system under Li Zhe, all kinds of glass products have now become popular among the craftsmen. The demand for thermometers, horizontal rulers, telescopes, microscopes, astronomical telescopes, various convex lenses and concave lenses has exploded. The main reason is that the optical development of time and space in the Three Kingdoms has broken through a bottleneck stage, and a large number of glass products are urgently needed!

Almost everyone is observing the starry sky and observing all kinds of onlookers. In the eyes of these people, new worlds are opening to them, either grand and profound, or extremely small, but no matter what kind of world it is, they have liberated their range of thought.

Thinking of the way of heaven as the Heavenly Master said, countless people burst out with passion like the sea! The spontaneous desire to seek new knowledge cannot be curbed!

This is also something that Li Zhe is happy to see. Of course, he is willing to give it. In the short term, glass products can be smuggled based on Li Zhe's time and space, but localization will inevitably be considered in the long run. After all, Li Zhe's portable space cannot cope with the needs of the progress of the entire society, and the large-scale development of the glass industry is imminent.

Fortunately, Pingdingshan now has all the basic raw materials needed for the glass industry, so it is natural to add the plan of the glass industry in the construction of the coal-iron consortium in Pingdingshan Industrial Zone.

The glass industry is also somewhat similar to steelmaking. In the early stage, it was also a crucible, coke, temperature control, and large blowers were also indispensable. However, the pouring of glass requires extremely hard work, and annealing is an extremely difficult to master. If you are not careful, the internal stress degradation of the glass made will form extremely brittle and hard and cannot be used. Fortunately, with various industrial thermometers, this step can still be mastered through continuous experiments. The reason why both steelmaking and glass use crucible method is that this method can withstand setbacks in the early stage and is easier to control and form experience, so as to provide empirical data for later large-scale open furnace firing. This is also a low-cost trick for industrial progress.

But no matter what, this is the first step for the steel industry in the Three Kingdoms time and space to go from workshop-style production to industrial production, and it is crucial. With Li Zhe having control over his subordinates at this time, this is the best era of technological leap forward.

In short, under the clustered working mode, with the investment of a large amount of manpower and material resources, and the catalysis of Li Zhe's occasional so-called on-demand and a large number of miraculous videos and technical materials, all difficulties on the way forward were broken through by craftsmen and alchemists, and thousands of years of technical barriers were cracking step by step in front of these copycat gods, thus slowly collapsed.

Repeated failures, repeated work injuries and even deaths cannot stop these people from following in the footsteps of the Heavenly Master!

Life is worse than death since birth, long-term disasters, constant separation of life and death and decades of hard work have long refined the hearts of this group of refugees as steel, and life and death are like vain. Once the light of life itself is awakened by the light of hope that is close to you, it will be able to radiate a combat power that transcends the imagination of the world!

The heavenly realm of Tianshidao gave them hope for the future, the ideal of Tianshidao gave them confidence to move forward, and the redemption of Tianshidao made them let go of the burden of suffering in the past and let them go lightly without any scruples. This is a group of superhuman humans! It is the most suffering generation and the most combative generation! Under the guidance and redemption of Tianshidao spirit, their will can conquer mountains and fill the sea. This is the most fearless generation! (To be continued.
