Wang Kang's intention was not a whim, but a careful consideration.

Li Zheng and three other craftsmen were very appreciated by him. Secondly, his move was also to establish a good relationship with the Metallurgical Bureau, and furthermore, to work with the Ministry of Works and the court!

After talking before, Wang Kang realized that under the control of the old nobles, he controlled resources, and even the Metallurgical Bureau needed to buy with him and was slapped by him. What a dilemma?

The Earl's Mansion of Fuyang is now a pioneer in fighting against the old aristocrats, but it is far from enough for itself. The old aristocrats are powerful, and now there is a Earl of Yongding who jumped out.

So Wang Kang needs allies, and the construction of Xinfeng County is not sure, just like now, it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the Ministry of Works.

This is also for his preparation to go to Kyoto. Wang Kang had a premonition that Kyoto was the main battlefield for him to confront his old nobles in the future...

Since you want to establish a good relationship, fortunately, you will do good things to the end. Isn’t your construction bureau lacking iron ore? Then I won’t give you money, just give iron ore directly!

"Young Master Kang, this is not something that can be done..." Wang Fuchen was so busy that if he had a bet before, he could mention it.

Now that Wang Kang has refined steel, it is equivalent to overturning all their previous conclusions and asking for other people's things, how is it appropriate?

"yes!"

"We are not unreasonable people, and we will not receive any reward without merit. We are here to pay our orders..."

Several people were interrupted by Wang Kang. He waved his hand and said, "Everyone doesn't have to say much, this matter is settled!"

"Don't refuse, this is also considered to be my Earl Fuyang Mansion doing its part for the Metallurgical Bureau and the court!"

Several people looked at each other speechlessly. Considering the current dilemma of the artery situation, Wang Fuchen sighed for a long time, "Young Master Kang repays his grievances with kindness and understands the righteousness. Since that's the case, we will not refuse!"

After saying that, the three of them bowed to Wang Kangli, "Although we are incomparable to the iron smelting, you are still experienced and will definitely help you with all our strength!"

"Ha ha!"

Seeing this, Wang Kang lifted the three of them up and said with a smile: "But it was agreed in advance that the iron ore cannot be delivered now. We have to wait for the project here to be completed."

The iron ore stock notified by Liushan is huge and has no effect on some.

"And I am short of manpower, so who can do a skilled craftsman if I need to send a ministry to mine? What do you think?"

"Should you do this!" Wang Fuchen responded.

"In addition, the dispatch of craftsmen also requires a reliable person," Wang Kang paused and said, "I don't want outsiders to know too much information about my iron ore."

"I understand, understand."

This is easy to understand.

"Since that's the case, then I'll have to work for three people next. I have a lot to deal with..."

Wang Kang said again: "This time, because I needed a lot of steel to build the road, I have only built a floor furnace now, and I will build it again next!"

"I intend to build this place into an industrial park in Xinfeng County to mass produce steel!"

"Industrial Park?" Li Zheng was puzzled. This was the first time he heard this word.

"Yes, it's the industrial park!" Wang Kang said with a smile.

This is also his plan. This area has now started construction everywhere, including brick kilns, firing cement, and iron smelting and steelmaking.

These are currently prepared for road construction, but what if the road construction is completed? These constructions in the city are indispensable.

Moreover, refractory bricks, cement, and even steel are all products that have been cross-age and can be used for sale in the future.

Therefore, this area will be retained at the end of construction and will be the industrial park in Xinfeng County.

"By the way, I can't tell you the core of iron smelting technology, I hope you can understand it." Wang Kang said again.

This is very important. Things like steel smelting technology must be in your own hands and must not be allowed to be affected by outsiders.

This is the case with gunpowder, even the court treats him as a person.

Although they have witnessed the whole process just now and even participated, they cannot master it in this way.

The real core, such as the raw materials added during refining, the ratio of iron powder, and the mastery of time, if you lack it, you may fail.

These Wang Kang had already informed the craftsmen he had taken, and after his identification, these people were all trustworthy and reliable.

Everyone knows one, it's safer.

"Understand!" The few people nodded without hesitation. This was Wang Kang's unique invention, and such an important technology, how could it be leaked?

Not a fool.

"Haha!" Everything was negotiated, and Wang Kang also smiled and said, "In this underground, it's hot and cold. Let's go up first!"

Hearing this, the few people were stunned again, which was also the reason why they admired Wang Kang.

The second furnace was refining here. Wang Kang went up and the three of them were also discussing the division of labor. Finally, they decided that Li Zheng would be responsible for the construction of the ground furnace.

Master Xi is responsible for the inspection of steel smelting, which is also very important because refining is artificial, and any mistake will fail.

The inspection process is essential, otherwise quality problems will be fatal if you use it in the end.

Wang Fuchen was responsible for the coordination.

The three of them have a clear division of labor, and Wang Kang is also very satisfied. In this way, the scale will be formed and the mass production of steel will be achieved.

After this, Wang Kang had no time to clean and change clothes, and came to the cement production place next to this.

Compared with steel steel, the firing of cement is relatively simple. The main raw materials such as limestone, clay, etc. are all ready-made and only need to be fired.

This place was specially arranged by Wang Kang to be isolated and divided into other areas. He also distributed simple masks to the craftsmen to prevent dust.

Because of the simplicity of production, a lot of cement has been produced in a few days and piled up into pieces.

Now that steel has been produced, the supporting concrete can be used to support it in the deep road.

According to Wang Kang's vision, this step was carried out simultaneously, and it did not affect support and excavation. Moreover, the progress is very fast now and is extending every day.

Only by combining the two can efficiency be improved.

But one thing is more troublesome.

Concrete is actually cement concrete obtained by using cement as gel material, sand and stone as aggregate, and is combined with water in a certain proportion, stirring, forming and curing.

This is the most common and easiest to do, also known as ordinary concrete.

But there is one difficulty in this, stirring and filling.

In modern times, this is done with special machines, including mixers, conveyors, etc. This is particularly important. If there is a slight error, the uniformity of concrete will be difficult to maintain, and layering and separation will occur.

In order to avoid this, Wang Kang decided to make concrete directly during the tunnel construction. If you stir, you can use cattle, horse, etc. instead.

As for infusion, it can only be done with manpower.

Wang Kang made arrangements here and instructed the craftsmen to transport ingredients first and prepare for the preparations. When everything was complete, he started to make reinforced concrete to support the tunnel...
