At the same time, the red molten steel flows from the molten steel outlet under the blast furnace to the cooling, solidification and forging production line under the guidance of the inclined guide groove.

For the urgent demand for steel bars, the first batch of molten steel flows to the steel bar production line on the far left.

At this moment, various machines are continuously forging and pressing the steel bars. From the time when the molten steel flows into the cooling, cutting and pressing, to finally leaving it in the stacking area, it takes less than five minutes.

Looking at the speed of the steel bars produced by the smelting plant, Gooden silently compared it with the people at the research institute and found that it was simply too weak.

The institute's production speed is estimated to be as fast as three minutes per stick, while the smelting plant can produce at least twenty sticks in five minutes. This efficiency is several miles ahead of manpower.

However, with such rapid production, the supply of iron ore must also be taken seriously.

Otherwise, it will be embarrassing if there is no iron ore to be fired by then. Shutting down the blast furnace is a big deal.

The fireproof bricks inside the blast furnace may burst when the low temperature and high temperature are switched back and forth.

Fortunately, the mining work at the iron ore field is going very smoothly now. With the addition of personnel and equipment, the daily mining volume of iron ore can start at four tons.

For a 'big eater' like the smelter, only four tons per day can barely keep the molten fire going.

Of course, the output of the iron ore mine is not always just that small. It will continue to increase in the future. When the third batch of miners and equipment are delivered, it will be easy to dig ten tons per day.

The manganese mine on the other side produces dozens of tons of manganese ore every day because there is a perverted entry with a pickaxe.

Gudern was also shocked when he received the news. This output was indeed a bit excessive for him, so he directly reduced the establishment by half and arranged the extra people to work in the iron ore.

After inspecting the smelter, Gooden went directly to the research institute to help explain and deal with some difficult issues.

The research institute now has a lot of tasks piled up, ranging from research on generators and firearms to water pipes, faucets, various hardware tools, etc.

Gudern is now mainly responsible for the heating supply in Qingyuan Town.

The cold winter was coming, and the research progress in this area had to catch up with the reconstruction and construction work. In order to prevent the progress from being slowed down, he had no choice but to come in person to help.

For a week, Gudern's life track was extremely regular.

In the morning, I deal with territorial development government affairs, in the afternoon I go to the research institute to help provide ideas and improvement plans, and when I have time, I help make experimental products.

After a week, the heating supply system was almost completed, and at the same time, the work of digesting the population of Snow Valley Town was completely completed.

The work of more than 1,700 people has been allocated, and everything that can be arranged has been arranged.

In addition to the recruitment requirement of 100 men, Gooden also recruited an additional 20 female soldiers to prepare for future medical soldiers or some special situations.

Of course, the person in charge of this female soldier is naturally Irene.

Excluding the recruitment of soldiers, and counting the second batch of recruits from Jinyuan City, the total number of main adult males is more than 800.

There are more than 300 people here who have been arranged to join the engineering team. Due to the lack of veteran workers, this large number of people can only be temporarily divided into one or two teams to continue to lead the new with the old, and the first batch of old workers will naturally become principal.

The remaining 500 people were divided into two, half participated in the mining work around Qingyuan Town, and the other half joined various factories to study.

As for the new additions to the institute, Gooden does not plan to select them from the manpower in Snow Valley Town so soon.

And now the total number of people in the Engineering Research Institute has reached 150, two-thirds of them are newcomers, and they have not yet graduated.

Recruiting new people to join will result in continuous delays in research progress.

Today, August 27th, is also the day when the third trading team from Kanehara City comes.

If everything goes well, Walsh should bring the contract and supplies endorsed by the army today.

It didn't happen to Gudern's surprise. At around ten o'clock in the morning, a large motorcade appeared outside the city gate building, which was only half-constructed.

Looking at the half-built gate tower, Feroz's eyes were full of shock and surprise.

The last time I came here, this place was just a bunch of wooden piles standing here. But this time, in less than half a month, a city gate tower that was nearly fifty meters on one side appeared out of thin air?

Although part of the city wall has not yet been constructed, judging from this small section of the city gate tower alone, what Gudern said before was not a joke.

Walsh, who was equally shocked, was also surprised by the construction speed of Qingyuan Town.

Such a long city tower was erected in less than half a month. At this speed, if more people were recruited, wouldn't it be possible to build a city in half a year?

After spending so many years in the position of quartermaster, Walsh could immediately see the potential between bricks and mortar.

Lord Qingyuan, I didn't expect that he is still a low-key figure...

Walsh muttered secretly, then put on a smile, dismounted and went forward to meet and greet Gudern who went out to greet him.

Lord Gudern.

Lieutenant Walsh.

After a brief greeting, the two headed to the castle together.

On the way there, the group couldn't help but marvel at the changes that had occurred in Qingyuan Town in the past half month.

Lord Gudern, how did you let people build these buildings? I just looked at the city gate tower. It seems that it is all solid. You can actually complete so much of this amount of work in less than half a month. …”

Faced with Walsh's doubts, Gooden did not hide anything. He briefly talked about the convenience of bricks and briefly talked about cement.

Walsh was also very interested in hearing about the special construction materials, but he did not go into depth on this topic. He just had a brief understanding and that was the end.

In the castle reception room, as usual, Feroz first reported on the trade status of the Chamber of Commerce.

The income this time is similar to Gudern’s expectation. Only half of the salt and sugar sold in the middle of the year has been sold out due to the large volume.

Of course, the amount of income still exceeded two thousand gold. At the same time, all kinds of needed seeds and materials purchased at high prices were also delivered.

There are as many as ten coal trucks. This time, because transportation vehicles have priority, we will pull a batch for inspection first. There are still many stored in the warehouse in Jinyuan City.

After the copper ingots, ores, seeds, horses and other materials are confirmed to be correct, and the receipt and signature are completed, the transaction for this month is completed.

After asking Old Joseph to count the coins, Gudern also started discussing with Walsh about the manganese steel order.

This is a contract drawn up by the military based on the wishes of both of us. Take a look and sign and confirm if there are no problems. The first batch of supplies has been delivered, and you can start arranging the order.

After taking the special sheepskin contract handed over by Walsh, he looked around and found that it was indeed in accordance with the contents discussed between them, and there were no modifications.

After confirming that it was correct, Gooden signed his name.

Wish us happy cooperation.

After completing the signature confirmation, this order is officially signed and won.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Gooden immediately went to start arranging the refining work of manganese steel.

For the transfer of the production center, various equipment originally based on manganese steel were all replaced with carbon steel.

Manganese steel is used in some more complex and harsh environments, such as bearing steel balls or places that need to be exposed to wear and collision.

Therefore, the output has dropped from 500 pounds per day to 200 to 300 pounds, and now there is a new small flow forging line specially built for manganese steel, specially used for this order processing and future inventory.

Due to his busy schedule recently, Gooden briefly greeted the two guests and went about his business on his own.

Feroze and Walsh who came here also understood that Gudern was busy.

But when it came time for the dinner, Gudern attended the reception as usual.

In one afternoon, Walsh almost visited the entire Qingyuan Town.

Walsh was also a little surprised that a border town could develop with such vigor.

He also personally observed the construction of the city wall for a while, and felt the convenience and expanded applicability of this material.

You must know that the frontline battle is coming, and the border city is now frantically piling up stones for the upcoming siege and defense battle.

As for the bricks we move in front of us now, although the individual blocks are slightly fragile, after being transported and assembled as a whole, their hardness and performance are no worse than ordinary stones.

And the most important thing is the gray coating, which can firmly bond the bricks and form a hard surface.

In the eyes of Walsh, this thing is a potential strategic material. Just imagine that it would take at least three to five days to repair the city wall or fill the holes.

If we continue to attack at this time, it will take at least ten days and a half to fill a hole.

But with bricks and the corresponding cement, the enemy's attack for several days can be wiped out in one night. Isn't this going to make the commander on the opposite side vomit blood?

Ever since, as a person with certain purchasing authority, Walsh also expressed his optimism about bricks and cement during the dinner.

Lord Gudern, do you have any intention of selling these bricks and cement?

Huh? Army order? What do you want this for?

Facing Walsh's question, Gooden seemed a little surprised and then asked.

I will tell you the truth directly. In the frontline border city, the city walls have been repaired and repaired many times during the wars over the years. Now, after every war, it takes ten and a half months to repair...

Walsh also spoke out about this actual situation and just expressed his interest in this thing.

Gooden also has plans for the external sale of bricks and cement, but not now.

Qingyuan Town is now short of people, supplies and building materials in every sense of the word.

Things like bricks and cement are only suitable for personal use at the moment, and I'm afraid I'll have to wait until next year to sell them outside.

Faced with Walsh's interest, Gooden also explained his situation here.

Well, there's no need to rush this matter. The real war won't start until next year. I'm just making a suggestion. If the higher-ups can approve it, I'm afraid the manganese steel order has just ended and you will have to work on one more order.

Chapter 101 Sexy Royal Sister, Online Guidance

Faced with this possible order, Gooden didn't take it seriously.

The expansion of brick kilns and cement plants is inevitable, and overproduction will also occur at a certain stage.

Facing potential customers like the military, he also has the mentality of cooperating if he can, and getting him if he can't.

After staying in Qingyuan Town for a night, Walsh returned to the military headquarters with the contract and the transportation convoy.

Without the interruption of others, Gudern can better devote himself to various researches, although these things can be quite annoying sometimes.

But he had nothing to do in this world. Apart from teasing and teasing Irene, he seemed to have no other entertainment.

September 2, afternoon, outside Qingyuan Town.

After almost a whole day of traveling, a small convoy that had been traveling for almost a day could feel a little relieved. They no longer had to worry about the risk of spending the night in the wild.

Since the recruitment order circulated in Jinyuan City for two months, plus various news coming from Qingyuan Town, the two gathering places that were originally sparse and unrelated to each other began to communicate frequently.

Therefore, the residents of the town are not surprised by the arrival of new people every now and then.

After entering the town, after simple registration and the issuance of a special metal card, the group had a temporary identity and could stay in Qingyuan Town legally.
