Chapter 1550 The Steel Plant About to Be Put into Operation
After seeing the cement factory and staff dormitories, Cynthia's curiosity was completely aroused.

The equation happens to be more interesting, and I want to go to other places to have a look.

Ferdinandi took the initiative to take on the role of the guide, and he drove the carriage with Equation and Cynthia to the next location, the match factory.

Because now Watles already has cement roads, and there are cement roads connecting each factory. It is very convenient to travel by horse-drawn carriage. It takes only 10 minutes to travel from the cement factory to the match factory.

After coming to the match factory, Fang Fang’s face was full of anticipation. He wanted to see what the current match factory would look like. At that time, he left Waterles Match Factory, which had just been established, and everything was still developing slowly. among.On the way back to Nile from the northern border this time, I also met a group of Nile merchants. The goods they shipped to the northern border were matches. Presumably, the sales of matches should be very good.

The result is also the same as the equation thinks, the match factory is the same as the cement factory, and the workers are working hard, and box after box of matches are produced.

The produced matches were bundled into large bundles and pushed by rickshaws to Waterles East Port, where they were loaded onto merchant ships and shipped to other islands and the Nile for sale.

After seeing the match factory, Ferdinandi took Equation and Cynthia to a newly built factory building.

This factory building seems to be in a state of just completion, and has not yet been officially put into production.

When the three of them arrived, they happened to see a familiar figure on the construction site.

"Old Lu!"

Fang Fang saw Lu Fengmei and immediately shouted at him excitedly.

Lu Fengmei turned around and saw Fang Fang and Cynthia, and immediately grinned.

"Let's go, let's go there."

Fang Fang glanced at Cynthia beside him, took her hand and walked up.

At this time, Ferdinandi bid farewell to Equation, "Your Majesty, then I will not bother you."

Fang Fangxin said that this kid was quite upright, so he waved him away, so that there were only two old friends, Fang Fang and Lu Fengmei, and the two of them could chat more casually.

Seeing Cynthia beside Fang Fang, Lu Fengmei couldn't help but said to Fang Fang: "Old Fang, you are so blessed, even the princess of Nile was abducted by you."

Hearing what he said, Cynthia blushed immediately.

Fang Fang, the wife-protecting madman, immediately fought back, "Old Lu, I think you have a wicked heart but no guts."

Lu Fengmei choked and coughed, "Ahem..." He took the initiative to confess, "Let's change the topic."

Fang Fang smiled triumphantly: "Is this factory building you want to build?"

Lu Fengmei nodded and said, "Exactly."

"What are you going to use it for?"

"Let me tell you the good news first, and you will be very happy when you know it."

"What good news?"

"Haven't we been exploring the surrounding islands for more than a year when you were away? Guess what?"

"Don't be a fool, okay, just say it!"

Lu Fengmei laughed happily, "Let me tell you, we found a lot of coal on Heiqi Island in the southern sea!"

After Fang Fang heard it, he was overjoyed, "Coal?"

"Yes, it's coal!"

Lu Fengmei smiled smugly.

The Black Flag Island Equation has been there before, when Watles encountered a food crisis, he went to Black Flag Island to discuss business with those Black Sail pirates, and bought food from them.

He still has an impression of Black Flag Island. In his impression, it is an archipelago located in the waters south of Waterles. The waters of this archipelago are complex and the island chain stretches for thousands of miles.These are his impressions of Heiqi Island, but he did not expect to find coal on Heiqi Island.

Lu Fengmei said happily: "You don't know, the gang of pirates on Black Flag Island have already changed their careers."

Fang Fang asked with a smile: "What should I change, coal boss?"

Lu Fengmei nodded and said: "Yes, who would be a pirate if you have coal? If a pirate does not do well, he will lose his life. Now they deliver coal to us every day. They can make money without losing their lives. How can they care about it?" What kind of pirates are you?"

Under the introduction of Lu Fengmei, Fang Fang knew that the Black Flag Island in the south has become the largest source of coal for Waterles. Every day, there are coal ships coming from Black Flag Island to Waterles. Westport in Terrace, from where the coal is unloaded.

At present, all the coal is purchased by Wan Guo, and as much as it comes from Heiqi Island, Wan Guo will accept as much.

There is no need for Lu Fengmei to explain the importance of coal. Fang Fang knows it clearly. If cement is an indispensable building material in modern industrial society, then coal is an indispensable energy source.

There are many things that can be done with coal, such as household stoves and restaurants. With coal, it can replace firewood, so that more wood can be used in other places. It is as big as making iron and steel, and burning cement. All coal is indispensable.

Lu Fengmei smiled and said to Fang Fang: "Deer Island is rich in hematite, and Heiqi Island is rich in coal. Think about what it is to combine these two things."

Fang Fang clapped his hands and was overjoyed, "Old Lu, you are building an ironworks."

Lu Fengmei proudly said: "Before we had set up a copper smelter in Wanguo Island, but at that time it was just a small workshop, even if it was a bigger workshop later on, and at that time we used How can the energy source be compared with now, charcoal was used at that time, but now we use coal.”

Equation kept clapping and applauding, "Not bad, this is good, we must build the most advanced and largest steelmaking plant on the island."

Lu Fengmei frowned at Fang Fang and said with a smile: "That's necessary, you don't know, that girl Wei Lin has already planned to build a railway on the island."

"What, a railroad?"

"Yes, it's the railway."

Fang Fang felt that he had only been away from Waterles for more than a year, so it seemed like a century had passed since he came back again. Times really have changed.

Lu Fengmei said: "Although there is already a concrete road on the island, the transportation of materials is still not fast enough. The things from the East Port have to be shipped to the West Port, and the things from the West Port have to be shipped to the East Port. There is also a vast area north of Waterles. It needs to be connected by railway, so that materials can be transported more smoothly and quickly on the island.”

There was light in Fang Fang's eyes, and he said happily: "I understand, you built this steel factory to forge rails."

Lu Fengmei applauded, "That's right, we need to build railroad tracks. We want railroad tracks to cover the entire Waters, and let railroad tracks connect every important place."

Seeing the two chatting more and more excitedly, Cynthia asked the equation in a low voice, "What are the rails and railways you are talking about?"
