Ancient Rome: From Slaveholder to Supreme Emperor

Chapter 273 Preparation for the Big Iron Smelting

“….”

When they heard that Ye Tian was about to expel them, the three middle-aged scholars suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly prayed to Ye Tian.

If it’s normal, it’s fine, but now almost the whole of Rome is breaking out, except for the city, but it’s a very dangerous thing.

“Don’t you want freedom? Under the protection of others, you also want freedom. I think you are stupid to read! Don’t you want to travel everywhere? Today’s war may bring you the greatest literature. Creative inspiration! I am perfect for you! So, there is no need to hide here, reputation!”

Ye Tian sneered, talking about freedom with those in power, isn’t this looking for death?

Ye Tian dare not leave such people in his territory, otherwise, once he declares dictatorship, these people will be the most violent existence.

t……”

The three wanted to speak, but they were directly interrupted by Ye Tian coldly: “Sorry, you were not successfully hired, so please go out, don’t let me throw you out personally, otherwise the image of your scholars will be bad. good!”

Ye Tian’s voice is a bit cold.

527 The three of them didn’t speak, looked at Ye Tian deeply, and left silently.

Ye Tian gave them the best treatment, but they didn’t accept it.

“Cesil, Zoe, your answers are qualified, and I am satisfied! I decided to hire you, but if you do not agree, it is your own choice and I will not force it! This is your right, but once you are If hired, we will abide by the answers you gave just now! That is not just an assessment, but an agreement that you will abide by after you are hired!”

Ye Tian asked lightly.

Thank you, “My Lord City Lord, but the new thoughts and new words are also true?

Zoe asked rationally.

“Yes! Including serving me and accepting a lifetime employment!”

Ye Tian nodded.

“I am willing, Lord City Lord!”

There was a glimmer of expectation in Zoe’s eyes, and then replied to Ye Tian.

“I’m also willing to accept, respectable Lord City Lord!!”

Cecil thought for a while, and found that Zoe’s eyes were shining with a gleam of knowledge. He also thought of something, so he nodded vigorously.

(cibh)

“Ah.. Sure enough, a woman’s mind is more careful and dense. Tell me, what do you think of?”

Ye Tian looked at them full of wisdom, smiled and asked.

“Is the new thoughts and new words that the adults said is very confidential, so I need my allegiance to hire us, because next we will not only become teachers, but also students, accept the new ideas and new words, and then teach For the students?”

Zoe made a bold guess and asked Ye Tian excitedly.

“correct!!

Ye Tian nodded and said, “Do you know what the most powerful force in this world is? It is knowledge and wisdom!”

“Let’s talk about this later, I’ll let Kelly arrange a separate room for you, you will live here in the future, and I will give you lessons when I have time! At present, you only need to be responsible for teaching the children the writing! In addition, I will give you a sum of money, and you will be responsible for establishing the school, because you will be the dean and deputy dean of the new school, and I will give you the drawings…

Ye Tian smiled and made arrangements for them.

The school was established. For students, in addition to commoner children, noble children of school age should also be sent to the school to receive compulsory education and brainwashing.

There are not enough talents, so he cultivated himself and cultivated the talents he wanted.

The school he built will be a school in the true sense, and the system can learn from the future school model.

There are exams and bonuses, and bonuses will be very high, and there are many types. It will definitely make civilians desperately send their children to school, and it will make children specialize in research and study desperately.

Of course, there will be a very peculiar subject in the examination, and a relatively high proportion of points, that is, the assessment of loyalty.

“Thank you Lord Santos

Zoe and Chesil were very excited, very excited, and very moved.

Ye Tian actually entrusted them with such an important responsibility, and let them become the dean and deputy dean of the school, which is a little incredible.

“Okay, go back and prepare first, besides, you are really beautiful!”

Ye Tian smiled, stood up, and walked out.

His last words made the faces of the two female scholars turn red in an instant.

Ye Tian’s life is really fulfilling, or rather busy.

Big iron smelting!

Ye Tian intends to start making iron in his own territory, or steel making!

Anyway, he now owns several iron ore mines of his own.

At this time, the Romans naturally had iron-making technology, and it was also extremely advanced in the times, but the iron they smelted was made of lump iron, made of a kind of sponge iron mixed with a large amount of slag, and used for smelting. Iron is rich iron ore with relatively high iron content.

Roman wrought iron is sponge iron, which has many impurities, low carbon content, and is soft. It can only be forged but cannot be cast. Therefore, the weapons of Rome are daggers.

Although Ye Tian cannot use the most advanced ironmaking method from the future to make iron continuously.

However, he can at least make iron in a blast furnace.

Blast furnace ironmaking is developed and improved from the ancient shaft furnace ironmaking in China. This ironmaking method is simple in technology, large in production, high in labor productivity, and low in energy consumption. It will still be the most popular method in the future.

Of course, under the current conditions, the steel that is trained is certainly not as good as the new century in the future, but it is definitely much better than the hardness and willfulness of the block iron produced in Rome during this period.

When making iron in a blast furnace, iron ore, coke, and flux (limestone) for slag-making are loaded from the top of the furnace, and preheated air is blown into the tuyere located along the periphery of the furnace at the lower part of the furnace. At high temperatures, the carbon in the coke is combusted with the oxygen in the air to generate carbon monoxide, and the oxygen in the iron ore is removed during the ascent in the furnace, thereby reducing the iron. The molten iron produced is discharged from the iron hole. The unreduced impurities in the iron ore combine with fluxes such as limestone to form slag, which is discharged from the slag port.

To complete the blast furnace ironmaking, Ye Tian must first build a blast furnace. To burn limestone, coal or charcoal can be used instead. The blower can still be made, of course, it must be a human blower.

Of course, the current blast furnace must be cast with refractory mud first, and when he builds steel, it can be cast with steel.

(This chapter has been searching for information on ironmaking and steelmaking for too long, so there should be no more chapters! Sorry!).
