Three Kingdoms: Liu Daer Was Forced Out of the Mountain at the Beginning

Like Shopkeeper Qian and others, the nobles in Yecheng are now gathering together to discuss the matter of Cao Pi being appointed as the crown prince today.

However, the content of their discussion was very different from that of Shopkeeper Qian and others.

The Yecheng nobles were more concerned about how to serve under Cao Pi.

Like ordinary nobles, they did not have much say in the court. Even when Cao Zhi and Cao Pi were competing for the position of prince, they would not consider wooing them.

Therefore, after the outcome of the prince's battle comes out, you must seek the best interests for yourself.

These small nobles must take the initiative to get close to Cao Pi.

In the days that followed, shopkeeper Zhao, who ran a calligraphy, painting and antique shop, became busy again.

Hanzhong.

Bai Feng was inspecting the mine, accompanied by Zhang Ning and Plowing Pillar.

The second steam train has been put into use at the mine after final inspection.

The current frequency of blasting operations in the mine has increased by 30% compared to the previous frequency.

To be honest, the carrying capacity of the two steam trains is somewhat excessive so far.

Because the number of miners in the mine has not increased, loading and unloading ore is a manual job.

It was easy to get one steam train, but two steam trains really made the miners feel a little bit overwhelmed.

It's just that Bai Feng doesn't want to continue to increase the number of miners in the mine.

Now that steam trains have been put into use, can more machinery be used to reduce the labor of the miners?

This is a question Bai Feng has been thinking about these days.

The main reason is also because the last lottery consumed more than half of the few remaining reputation points.

Although the steam train was tested in Hanzhong City this time, Bai Feng's reputation increased a lot again.

But Bai Feng still wants to keep these reputation points and use them when he encounters problems that are difficult to solve with the existing conditions.

“My plan is to build a conveyor belt powered by a steam engine.”

"In the future, miners only need to put the ore on the conveyor belt, and then the conveyor belt will send the ore into the carriage."

Looking at Bai Feng, who was sweating like rain and loading ore into the carriage, he said to Zhuzhu.

The idea of ​​the conveyor belt was thought up by Bai Feng himself.

And based on the existing conditions at hand, it is still possible to create a usable conveyor belt in a short time.

The farmer on the side wrote down all Bai Feng's thoughts.

"Sir, this conveyor belt idea is a good one."

"There is no problem with the steam engine as a power source, but what should be used to make this belt for transporting ore?"

After recording, Geng Zhuzhu asked Bai Feng.

This problem is also bothering Bai Feng now.

Now he does not have the ability to mine and refine oil, so there is no need to think about plastic-related products.

There is no rubber in use now. If you want to use rubber, you have to wait until Yamatai has completed the construction of the lucky ship and go to sea to find it.

"I'm also thinking about how to solve this conveyor belt problem."

After Bai Feng heard this, he had no choice but to tell the truth to Geng Zhuzi, because he really didn't have any good ideas at the moment.

Using cloth is definitely out of the question.

Let’s not talk about the cost issue. If linen is used as the conveyor belt, the conveyor machine may need to replace a conveyor belt every day.

Bai Feng couldn't accept this loss rate.

It's not because linen is expensive. Since the advent of steam looms, the production cost of linen has been very low for Bai Feng.

Just using linen to make conveyor belts may not be as efficient as replacing conveyor belts.

This will greatly affect the operation of the mine.

Geng Zhuzhu nodded when he heard this. It seemed that they needed to find the answer to this question.

After explaining the arrangements for the conveyor machines and conveyor belts to Gengzhu, Bai Feng and Zhang Ning learned about the recent mine production data.

"Sir, this is the data on the iron ore and smelted iron ingots produced by the mine in the past half month. Please take a look."

Zhang Ning handed the prepared report to Bai Feng.

After Bai Feng took the report, he nodded with satisfaction after reading it.

"Very good, the production efficiency of the mine is good now."

"After the conveyor belt is manufactured, the current production efficiency can be increased by at least 20%."

"Also, the number of blast furnaces for smelting ore is already insufficient. When the time comes, we will arrange manpower to build more blast furnaces."

"It doesn't matter even if it's empty now, it will be put into use soon."

Bai Feng then gave instructions to Zhang Ning.

Steam trains are a very useful means of transportation for Bai Feng. As long as sufficient steel production is ensured, Bai Feng can use this to produce more machinery.

This will allow Hanzhong to enter a positive cycle of development.

"Okay sir, I remember."

After Zhang Ning heard this, he wrote down all Bai Feng's requirements in his notebook, and then smiled at Bai Feng.

After Bai Feng arranged the next part of the mine, he went to the R\u0026D center with Geng Zhuzi.

In the R\u0026D center, the third steam train is being manufactured.

Different from the manufacturing method of the first two steam trains, the latest steam train has begun to adopt the production line manufacturing method.

In addition to the twenty craftsmen brought by Pu Yuan and Ma Jun.

Gengzhuzi also selected thirty experienced craftsmen from the steam engine production line to participate in the construction of the steam train production line.

Now there are more than fifty craftsmen in the entire steam train manufacturing plant, and the efficiency has also been greatly improved.

After the steam train production line can be officially put into operation, Bai Feng will carry out his next plan.

Bai Feng came to the R\u0026D center and once again communicated with Geng Zhuzi about the manufacturing of conveyor belts.

"After finding a material that is wear-resistant enough, most of the problems with the conveyor belt have been solved."

"The rest of the manufacturing of the transmission machine, I believe it will not be a problem with your research."

Bai Feng had already given the sketch of the teleportation machine he had drawn to Guo Zhuzhu.

After instructing him to plow the pillars, Bai Feng learned about the construction situation of steam train production.

With the efforts of Geng Zhuzhu, Ma Jun and Pu Yuan, the steam train production line is under intensive construction.

According to Guozhu's estimation, it will only take about one and a half months to complete.

After leaving the R\u0026D center, Bai Feng returned directly to the mansion.

After returning to the mansion, he saw Cao Jie holding a letter and waiting for him.

"Husband, the letter sent by Shopkeeper Chen is about the position of Crown Prince."

Seeing Bai Feng come back, Cao Jie handed the letter to Bai Feng and said.

Bai Feng opened the letter and read it with Cao Jie.
