When Du Qi got up from Li Yanyun's bed, there was heavy snow outside the window, and it was already white. At this time, it was almost Si time, and Li Yanyun had already left.
Du Qi got up, took a shower and had breakfast before going to the study unhurriedly.
In the study, Du Qi was dealing with today's government affairs. In a short period of time, various government affairs were arranged. After all, there is only one state in Yizhou now, and there are only three counties of Yiwu, Rouyuan, and Nazhi. The place is that big, so it doesn't take much effort.
All aspects are progressing in an orderly manner.
Everything is not difficult.
Du Qi's main task is to extract some useful books from the memory in his mind when he is free, and put them on the bookshelf in the study for future use.
Time passed by little by little.
It was almost noon.
At this time Liu Jian entered and reported that Tang Zhongsheng and Wang Wenkai had come together. Du Qi immediately ordered the two to enter. At this moment, Du Qi's face showed anticipation.
When Du Qi met the two yesterday, he gave them the mold for making briquettes. A day passed, and the two reckoned that the mold had already been made.
With a mold, honeycomb coal can be made, and the current method of burning coal can be broken away. Under the premise of today's underdeveloped technology, the combustion of honeycomb coal is cheaper.
Not long after, Tang Zhongsheng and Wang Wenkai entered together. In Tang Zhongsheng's hands, there was also a briquette making mold. After the two greeted Du Qi, Tang Zhongsheng immediately handed over the mold and said, "Your Highness, this is a briquette mold made according to your instructions. It has been made, please inspect it."
Du Qi stood up, took the honeycomb coal on the desk to make a mold, and without delay, called the craftsman in the house, and asked the craftsman to bring coal stones and some yellow mud, in addition to adding a little bit of charcoal powder.
This is ready for production.
For the mixing ratio, coal stone accounts for about 80%, yellow mud accounts for about 19%, and the remaining proportion is given to charcoal powder. After all the raw materials were prepared, Du Qi asked the craftsman to mix them according to the proportion, and then added water to make the coal powder into mud.
After this step was completed, Du Qi asked craftsmen to use molds to solidify and shape.
Briquette briquettes are formed one by one and placed on the ground. The weather is cold and snowy, and it is almost impossible to dry the briquettes outside.
Du Qi directly ordered the craftsman to transfer all the formed coal balls to the room. Because there is coal burning, the temperature in the room is high, and it can dry hard in the shortest time.
After Du Qi asked the craftsman to make a batch, he let the craftsman go down.
Tang Zhongsheng looked at Du Qi and asked, "Your Highness, what is the value of briquettes?"
Du Qi said: "You will know when the briquettes are dry and hard. Come on, you have one more thing to do now. You have to make a briquette stove, which is good for cooking and cooking."
Immediately, Du Qi turned and went back to the study, and gave Tang Zhongsheng and Wang Wenkai the design drawing of the briquette stove.
The honeycomb coal stove is actually very simple.
It is generally cylindrical, wide at the top and narrow at the bottom, with the burning briquettes suspended in the center liner above. Below the briquettes are blocked by iron bars, so that the briquettes can be burned in the center of the briquette stove, and it is also conducive to ventilation to promote the combustion of the briquettes.
When it is no longer in use, the bottom vent only needs to be covered with a cover. The briquette lacks air to enter, the oxygen content is reduced, and the burning speed is greatly slowed down, which can play a closed role.
Such a briquette stove can have a hole in the center to accommodate a briquette. It can also be double-holed or triple-holed to accommodate multiple briquettes to form different firepower for combustion.
There are different classifications in Du Qi's design drawings.
After Tang Zhongsheng looked at it, he said: "Your Highness, this is very simple, not complicated. After all, such a shape is like making a mold. We can finish it tomorrow at the latest. After the stove is dried, we will deliver it. "
Du Qidao: "I am waiting for your good news. When the time comes, I will demonstrate the use of briquettes. The appearance of this briquette stove is a good thing."
? Tang Zhongsheng and Wang Wenkai were confused and didn't understand much, so they could only take one step at a time. They completed Du Qi's arrangement first, and the follow-up experiments will be done after the production is completed.
After the two left, Du Qi also returned to the study.
Du Qi had a smile on his face.
The emergence of coal stones is equal to a beginning of resource utilization. Although this is the most common use of resources, many things, as long as they have a little influence, will gradually be extended, thus extendingProduce more and more things.
Du Qi was reading at the mansion, and it was the next day in a blink of an eye.
Early in the morning, Tang Zhongsheng and Wang Wenkai came and brought a briquette stove. This briquette stove is directly made of three-hole briquettes, and the inner tank of the stove contains two layers of briquettes, a total of six briquettes.
Du Qi looked at the stove that was delivered, and ordered people to invite Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng, Jin Wuque, Yu Deshui, Yuan Yin, and Yi Fusheng to come, and at the same time asked Liu Jian to set fire to the briquettes that had dried up last night.
It is also easy to ignite the briquettes, three briquettes are at the bottom.
It was ignited.
And resting on the iron bar, it can continue to burn in contact with the air. Because there is a 90-degree corner hole below, which is the ventilation hole under the briquette stove and the position of the closed air hole. The briquettes below are burning, and three briquettes are placed on the upper layer, and a total of six briquettes are in the briquette stove.
The briquettes burned slowly, the heat gathered, and the fire gradually became stronger.
But Du Qi couldn't wait any longer. After asking Liu Jian to take an iron pot and put it on it, and filled it with water, Du Qi asked Liu Jian to take a cattail fan and keep fanning it in at the ventilation hole.
As the cold wind blows in, the bottom layer of briquettes burns rapidly. As the firepower increased, the lower layer of briquettes quickly turned red, releasing fierce heat, and even the upper layer of briquettes began to ignite.
The firepower is getting stronger and stronger.
Not long after, Liu Zhengxi, Guo Xiaozheng and others entered together. The six of them arrived in the backyard. Although the wind and snow are heavy now, they are fine in the house and will not be affected by the wind and snow.
The six of them looked at Du Qi together, especially when they saw Tang Zhongsheng and others, and also saw the briquette stove, all of them had strange expressions.
What's happening here?
Liu Zhengxi knew Du Qi's disposition, especially that Du Qi was good at making new things. He knew that there were craftsmen, so it must be Du Qi's guidance to make new objects.
Liu Zhengxi said: "Your Highness called us together because you have researched something new?"
Du Qidao: "There is indeed a new item that can be used to boil water, cook rice, and cook."
While talking, Du Qi squatted down and looked into the briquette stove through the gap under the iron pan. Under the iron pot, the flames were already blazing, and the firepower of the upper and lower floors was already very strong.
Stir-frying and cooking are all possible.
Everyone is puzzled.
I don't understand what's going on.
Du Qi didn't explain too much, and directly ordered: "Liu Jian, bring all your utensils and cook whatever you want. Even though it's cold winter, it can still be operated."
"yes!"
Liu Jian responded immediately.
He also wanted to try the firepower, after all, this briquette stove is also good.
Du Qi's eyes are full of anticipation, because Liu Jian's demonstration will make everyone realize the benefits of the briquette stove and the convenience of the briquette stove. With a briquette stove, as long as you are willing to spend a little money, whether it is boiling water, cooking, or cooking, it will become more convenient. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
