I forgot about the advertisement for what car. Happy life starts with a car! For Wang Hou, happy life starts with cement!

With cement, the first thing to build is the ironworks!

Without any tricks, Wang Hou also wanted to be the first to build a house for himself, but if a city wants to rise, it must have its own characteristic industry. Wang Hou's first characteristic industry in Rizhao is steel.

First of all, there was no over-steel in this era, and there was only a shortage of steel. The close-knit Zangba army was not enough weapons. The grandfather used up the farm tools of the aristocratic family in Langya Kingdom and passed them to his father. After the father used up, he passed them to his son. There was no need to worry about the sales of steel products! Second, it was to continuously get cheap minerals from the Taishan County area.

Moreover, as the best nominal commander of Qingzhou County, he beat two birds with one stone. With the mine business in exchange for food, the bandits of Taishan County lost their aggressiveness and went out to plunder other prefectures and counties everywhere. However, the smelting base could not be placed in Mount Tai. On the one hand, they prevented them from directly holding on to excellent weapons and then robbing everywhere, making it too big to control. On the other hand, it also provided convenience for Wang Hou to build this Rizhao port.

The port is really important! How did the British rule the world? They drove the pirate ship to a place where birds do not shit, first build the port anchorage, and then merchants go to the island to collect specialties, attracting merchant ships to arrive continuously, and offshore trade also stimulated ambitions. During the trade process, the British continued to penetrate and plunder the birds do not shit, and finally spent decades to turn this land into a colony of the British Empire.

Before traveling through time, Wang Hou felt depressed after watching this history online. Why did the Western monkeys seize this ocean opportunity? It was obvious that during the Qing Dynasty, China's sailing activities were also magnificent, so why were they eliminated and had never competed for Western monkeys?

He did not follow Jia Xu's advice to develop towards Luzhong, but chose the extremely desolate sunshine on the beach in this era. It was because of the depression that Wang Hou was holding back in his heart. Finally, he had the right. Can he build the great man into a marine nation in advance when the barbarians in the West were still squatting in the German forest as monkeys? Even if there were such a little sign!

But what will happen to this port in the future? It still needs to be developed. Wang Hou is mainly concerned about it. After the cement construction of the ironworks workshop, the most important change for the more than 20,000 pioneers who reclaimed land by the sea was to warm up the home.

The heating of Wanghoujia community in later generations came from the steel company's waste heat! He connected all the steel furnace chimneys in Wanghou's iron smelting workshop together, bricks were built into a flue, and then followed the butt of the wooden houses built by Jia Xu. The family built a kang to bring in the hot smoke. It was so cold outside that it was trembling, but even sitting on the kang was hot, and the wooden house with air leakage on all sides also looked like a warm little house.

Wang Hou is also the first to centralized heating! As November begins, it is snowing outside. At this time, I guess I can’t beat these captive Qingzhou refugees with a stick. It’s so fucking cold!

The iron smelting workshop was repaired, and Rizhao, a city without even the city wall, began to enter the busy life of office workers. In the morning, the iron clock hanging in the residential area sounded like Zhou Pai's chicken coop, and then a large group of "factory clothes" that were not suitable for large or small, came out of the warm wooden house of their home yawning reluctantly.

Two thousand men were assigned to the ironmaking workshop. The ironmaking workshop of several thousand square meters spread to the riverside. With sufficient manpower, Wang Hou built a total of twelve steelmaking furnaces, but now only six are opened for the time being, and the rest will have to wait until the next batch of raw materials produced by Taishan are transported.

The workers were divided into three shifts, and the furnace was not stopped. When the door was opened, a new wave of workers pushed in a trolley full of coal and iron ore. A sensation of cold air penetrated through the door, but the workers in the room who had been in the room were comfortable facing the air conditioner and stretched.

It’s so hot in the cold winter!

Not to mention the steelmaking furnace that uses a leather blower to add oxygen at any time, the steel solidification pool is as high as dozens of degrees nearby. The workers can't wear clothes inside, so they can only be shirtless, and sweat flows down their chests.

Although he was arrested, Wang Hou also paid his salary. He worked in a steel mill. An adult man gave wheat a stone a month and gave him one piece of clothes. Although he was bored and uncomfortable, he earned more than he had before to farm under the Qingzhou family. He greeted each other. The workers who got off work put on their coats and left the cement factory. The one who just started working wrote down their numbers with lime on the blackboard, and then shoveled the coal into the steelmaking furnace with shovels. Calculated that the temperature was almost the same, he suddenly opened the upper furnace, and the melted steel immediately poured out along the reserved holes.

What is the most profitable thing for illegal trading in later generations? Apart from the life-threatening white powder, the god of death, is the most profitable arms. There is no such thing that poisons people in this era, so arms are the most profitable! Half of the high-quality steel-fried workshop was made, and it was immediately taken to the lower half of the forging workshop by the river.

Two thousand workers, more than one thousand four hundred, are gathered here because the manpower replaced by mechanical energy in this era is really limited. Most of the manpower is still needed to build a knife and a spear. Once you enter the workshop here, it is like you are in a heavy metal band, with hammers ping-pong everywhere, and the stove is also sizzling.

The most technological ones can be regarded as several water hammers next to the river. The Lotus River, which slowly flows towards the sea, pushed the huge water truck. As the water trucks reciprocate, hundreds of kilograms of heavy hammers were suddenly lifted up. Then, as the crankshaft suddenly fell down, the mold pressed on the cutting board immediately pressed hard inside, and the large chest armor heart protection mirror cast out of shape suddenly became thinner after the heavy hammer hit.

On the other side, Wang Yuan was also bare-handed, but he took this little hammer and took a shift with a new apprentice on the opposite side. He knocked the little hammer twice, and at the position he had knocked, the apprentice directly smashed it with a big hammer with a hammer. The two of them took turns to smash it. A steel bar that was not very handsome became thinner. Finally, after falling into countless brilliant hammer marks on his body, it was made into a standard steel ruler.

"Master, you've got it done!"

While Wang Hou was waiting with a little anxious, he forged for half an hour, and then in the middle of the iron ruler, he used pig iron drills to harden four holes on both sides, exposed his sweat and his muscles were as full as those of later bodybuilders. Wang Yuan respectfully handed this thing over to Wang Hou.

He weighed it in his hand and found that the iron ruler was only half a meter long, but it was a few pounds. He shook his head helplessly and picked up the hammer. Wang Hou personally nailed the thing to a piece of wood.

A bowstring twisted with several thin steel wires was penetrated into the holes on both sides of the iron ruler. With the bending forcefully, a crossbow was finally assembled with the sound of creaking metal.

The power of this crossbow should be about the level of the slashing crossbow, but even if it is light and slashing crossbow, Wang Hou had to step on his feet. With the creaking metal sound, the crossbow string was stuck in the crossbow machine, lifted up, facing the dead tree on the opposite bank of the Lianhe River, Wang Hou suddenly pulled the crossbow machine, and with a bang, the three-edged arrow cast in this workshop flew out, with a loud bang, and the trembling arrow approached the wood.

But the workshop was less than 30 meters away from the other side of the Lianhe River, and this performance was not outstanding. Soon, Wang Hou slammed again and aimed at the tree fifty meters across the river, shot out again, and with another bang, the arrow shaft still pierced into the wood.

He became playful and opened the steel crossbow for the third time. Wang Hou pulled the trigger to the tree farthest from the dead woods across the river. But this time, he saw the arrow flying out, but he couldn't see the landing point. Wang Hou finally shook his head helplessly.

The effective range of this steel crossbow is about fifty to fifty-five meters. He has also used the Han army's standard crossbow. Its effective range is about sixty-five meters to seventy meters. This thing is shorter than others.

However, disappointed and threw down the crossbow arrow, Wang Hou still turned his head and ordered...

"Build a thousand first!"

"The villain obeys the order!"
Chapter completed!
