After learning about the latest output and profits of the soap factory, Bai Feng's mood indeed improved a lot.

The anxiety caused by Wei's possible attack on Yamatai was temporarily covered up.

The soap workshop has now become the most profitable industry in Bai Feng's hands.

The output of steam engines is limited by steel and craftsmen, as well as the fact that there is only one production line. Although the efficiency of the current steam engine production line has increased three times compared with the original, reaching the point of producing three steam engines per day.

However, the profit brought by selling steam to Bai Feng is still not as big as that of the soap workshop.

Another very important reason for this is that the nobles in Hanzhong and Yizhou who bought steam engines significantly declined in their willingness to buy steam engines after their steam loom workshops could not expand in scale.

Not all nobles had channels to sell steam engines to other states and counties at high prices.

In addition, the replacement of steam engines is not that fast.

The second-generation steam engine was first used in steam trains. Craftsmen such as Geng Zhuzhu modified the existing steam engine in order to improve the power of the steam train.

Not only is it impossible to mass produce, the cost is also very high.

With the profits from the soap workshop as a support, Bai Feng can rest assured that the R\u0026D center and the nitroglycerin and dynamite workshops can continue to develop.

Cao Jie has become Bai Feng's logistical support.

If Bai Feng's current energy was not limited, he would have planned to launch more new products.

After the Yamatai incident came to an end, Bai Feng began to care about the progress of the steam train transformation in the R\u0026D center, as well as the production progress of the nitroglycerin and dynamite workshops.

Bai Feng first came to the R\u0026D center.

Geng Zhuzhu, Li Tiedan, Wang Gang, Xu Dali and other craftsmen are nearing the end of the transformation of the steam train.

"In Hanzhong, in about four to six days, the modified steam train will be ready for its second test run."

"This time, the power of the steam train has been strengthened according to your request. There should be no big problems in transporting ore and iron ingots in the future."

Geng Zhuzhu reported to Bai Feng the progress of transforming the steam train.

Because steam trains will first be used in mines, the main direction of this transformation of Cultivating Pillars is to enhance the power of steam trains so that they can load more ores and iron ingots.

At the same time, the steam train carriages were also being manufactured in full swing.

Before the first test run of the steam train, Geng Zhuzhu and others built a carriage for carrying people. This time they re-made a carriage for transporting ore and iron ingots.

The carriages were being manufactured at a rapid pace and could be completed by the time the steam train was tested again.

After Bai Feng learned about the transformation of steam trains from Gengzhuzi, he was ready to start building rail tracks in the mine.

In the current mine, the roads used to transport ore have been rebuilt and rails can be laid on them at any time.

"Very good, let me know directly when you decide on the second test drive."

Before leaving the R\u0026D center, Bai Feng said to Geng Zhuzi.

Geng Zhuzhu immediately nodded in agreement, and after Bai Feng left, he once again devoted himself to the renovation work of the steam train.

For Cao Zhuzhu, everything about the steam train is a pleasure, and so is the transformation process.

Bai Feng left the R\u0026D center and then went to the nitroglycerin and dynamite manufacturing workshop.

In the workshop, Wei Boyang was leading his disciple Zhen Cheng to complete the improvement of the container for storing nitroglycerin and dynamite.

Alchemists such as Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuan are constantly optimizing the manufacturing process of nitroglycerin and dynamite to reduce the possibility of accidents.

"Mr. Wei, how is the safety improvement of nitroglycerin and explosives going?"

Bai Feng asked Wei Boyang in the workshop.

"Reporting to Hanzhong Hou, regarding the improvement of storage containers for nitroglycerin, dynamite and explosives, my disciple Zhen Cheng and I have completed it. Please take a look."

Wei Boyang heard this and took out a completely sealed glass container and said to Bai Feng.

After Bai Feng took the container, he found that it contained light yellow nitroglycerin.

"Because nitroglycerin itself tends to emit a pungent smell, and people will feel dizzy after inhaling too much, so the container must be completely sealed."

"Also, we discovered during the experiment that the nitroglycerin has a risk of explosion whether it is overcooled or overheated. Therefore, when transporting nitroglycerin, the glass container needs to be wrapped in linen."

Wei Boyang then began to introduce their experimental results and safety measures to Bai Feng.

"It's just that the mixture that can stabilize nitroglycerin and oil has not been tested yet, so the last step of preparing the nitroglycerin and explosive requires on-site operations, and there is still a certain degree of danger."

Finally, Wei Boyang said to Bai Feng.

After listening to Wei Boyang's introduction, Bai Feng simply summarized it in his mind.

Because this nitroglycerin oil does not have a suitable mixture as a stabilizer, it needs to be configured on site to make an explosive with greater explosive power. Therefore, most of the transportation problems are solved.

"It seems that the use of nitroglycerin and dynamite will have to be completed by Mr. Wei and other alchemists in the short term."

Bai Feng thought in his heart.

As expected, it is not that easy to produce the complete nitroglycerin and dynamite in a short time, even if you rely on the formula.

Some of the materials required for the recipe are really difficult to produce at current levels.

However, Bai Feng was already very satisfied with the nitroglycerin and dynamite that could be put into use.

As long as you pay attention to safety when using nitroglycerin and explosives, there will be no major problems.

"Very good, thanks to Mr. Wei and Zhen Cheng, this container is very good!"

Finally, Bai Feng said to Wei Boyang and Zhen Cheng. Zhen Cheng had a big smile on his face and looked very happy.

In the process of making nitroglycerin and dynamite, Zhen Cheng felt that it was much more interesting than refining alchemy, although this process was also much more dangerous than refining alchemy.

Then Bai Feng and Wei Boyang came to Zhang Daoyi and Fang Yuanyuan, who were improving the manufacturing process of nitroglycerin and explosives.

At this time, the two of them and several other alchemists in the workshop were making summary notes.

After seeing Bai Feng and Wei Boyang arrive together, Zhang Daoyi first said to Bai Feng:

"In Hanzhong, we have tried our best to make complete records of all the issues that need to be paid attention to during the manufacturing process of nitroglycerin and explosives."

"And some dangerous operating steps have also been improved and optimized. This is our record, please take a look!"

After Bai Feng took the record book from Zhang Daoyi, he began to read it carefully.
