Start with a blacksmith shop

Li Zhenhua was sitting in the pickup truck, and Liu Xiaodong was driving.

Guo Shugui was holding a portable shooting device he bought before, and the lens was pointed at Li Zhenhua.

What are the three of you doing? Of course, he went to buy raw materials. This time, Li Zhenhua wanted to use the most basic things and make knives that were relatively effective.

It’s still the same company and warehouse that purchased stainless steel before.

But this time they didn't want much, they just bought thirty kilograms of pig iron and some additives. This time Li Zhenhua really started from scratch.

After buying the raw materials, Li Zhenhua went to the market and bought two large crucibles and an electric furnace that could reach a temperature of 1,800 degrees.

With this furnace, his electricity bill will be much higher than before.

The three of them wandered around the market all morning and bought everything Li Zhenhua saw, thought of, and thought was useful.

I returned to the blacksmith shop at noon and had a quick bite to eat. Just after I finished eating, the person delivering the furnace arrived.

Watching the workers install the furnace, Li Zhenhua couldn't wait to turn on the furnace's switch after the installers left.

The furnace began to heat up, and the temperature inside the furnace was displayed on the screen outside.

Li Zhenhua opened the furnace door, took out a crucible, put some pig iron in it, and then put the pig iron into the furnace and started heating.

In his eyes, the status and temperature of the pig iron in the crucible were displayed in real time.

When the temperature reaches 1563 degrees Celsius, the crucible is still a rectangular iron block.

It began to slowly melt downwards, gradually turning into a semi-liquid state.

Li Zhenhua quickly took a clip from the side, held the crucible with the clip, and took it out.

The iron in the crucible turned into a semi-liquid state, and the red semi-iron swayed in the crucible with Li Zhenhua's movements.

Li Zhenhua was standing next to the crucible and looked inside. The temperature of the crucible burned his face red when he got closer.

Li Zhenhua took a wrought iron rod from the side, inserted it into the crucible, and began to stir the semi-liquid iron in the crucible.

The pig iron was fully stirred. Under Li Zhenhua's stirring, Li Zhenhua used a blower to blow air into it.

And under the guidance of his eyes, he accurately sprinkled a certain amount of mineral powder into it, and then under Li Zhenhua's operation, the iron, manganese, and carbon were oxidized,

As the temperature in the crucible slowly dropped, the semi-liquid inside gradually became undisturbed.

Li Zhenhua saw his eyes reminding him that it was time to pour out the semi-liquid.

When the things were poured out, Li Zhenhua waited aside for a long time before the iron solidified again.

Looking at the font prompt floating next to the solid, Li Zhenhua knew that he had succeeded this time and successfully reproduced the steel frying method.

All these operations of Li Zhenhua were faithfully recorded by Guo Shugui.

Li Zhenhua took the iron block he had just refined and immediately put the iron block into the blacksmith's furnace for calcination.

After half a day of hard work, Li Zhenhua finally obtained the raw materials for making hundreds of steel.

This is neither pig iron nor wrought iron, but a fried steel with a slightly higher carbon content.

Now that the raw materials are available, Li Zhenhua does not intend to wait until tomorrow to start the next process.

He couldn't wait to take out the red-hot fried steel from the furnace and put it on the air hammer.

Modern blacksmiths are happy. With such a sharp tool for blacksmithing,

If it weren't for the air hammer, the process of folding and forging the wrought iron would have been extremely painful and lengthy.

The red-hot fried steel changes shape under the air hammer. In a short time,

It was originally a rectangular piece of fried steel, but now it has been beaten into a rectangle that is half as thin as before.

Li Zhenhua then cut the forged rectangle in the middle with a cutting machine.

Stack two rectangles of the same length together and spot weld the middle with an electric welder.

This piece of raw material entered the blacksmith's furnace again, and soon the raw material was burned red again.

Li Zhenhua continued to take out the raw material and forge it, repeating the previous operation.

Li Zhenhua was busy until seven o'clock, then he stopped.

Guo Shugui, who had been filming behind Li Zhenhua, was rubbing his arms, which were tired from maintaining one posture for a long time.

"Fat man, Guo Ba, that's it for today. You guys are following me around.

It’s been a tiring day, so go home and rest early.

We will still have the same time tomorrow and try to complete half of the forging times in one day. "

Guo Shugui put down the camera and moved for a while before saying:

“I didn’t expect that I actually bought something in the morning and started working in the afternoon.

I thought you, today is just preparation work, and it won’t officially start until tomorrow! "

Liu Xiaodong also looked at Li Zhenhua, his eyes revealing the same meaning as Guo Shugui.

"Hahaha, not everything is ready, I feel a little anxious.

What I think is, this knife has been delayed for so long, so hurry up if you can.

Later we need to courier the knife to the organizing committee of the knife forging competition.

It's already the middle of this month, and we promised it would be delivered before the end of the month. "

After listening to this, the two of them understood why Li Zhenhua was so anxious to start work.

"Okay, now I know I'm anxious. When you were getting those table knives before, I never saw you in such a hurry!"

Liu Xiaodong complained to Li Zhenhua, and the expression on his face revealed this hint of joking.

When Guo Shugui heard what Liu Xiaodong said, his face showed some disapproval.

"When you say Huazi, just say Huazi. What are you talking about with a knife?"

I originally told the two of them that they would make arrangements for tomorrow, but now they started bickering again.

Looking at the two people fighting on the side, Li Zhenhua no longer had the energy to persuade them.

The busy day today made him feel exhausted. There was nothing wrong with him physically, but he was a little tired mentally.

"Okay, you two stay here. When you leave, remember to close the rolling shutter door for me.

I won't stay with you anymore. I have to go to bed quickly. I'm really tired today. "

After speaking, Li Zhenhua went up to the second floor. After a while, Li Zhenhua fell asleep.

When the two people downstairs saw Li Zhenhua who was so tired,

He is really not used to it. He usually looks like a desperate person, but he is not in this state often.

"Hey, Fatty, let's go buy something to eat for Hua Zi.

He went to bed at this time, but he hadn't had dinner yet! "

Liu Xiaodong looked at Guo Shugui, looking like a hero who had similar views, and returned to Guo Shugui.

"You, you are such a clever little guy, how do you think the same as me?"

When Guo Shugui heard this, he immediately quit his job. He became one of the top land dealers in the country.

In terms of magnitude, he is almost the same as Principal Wang. This fat man actually said that he thinks the same as him?

"Hurry up, or I will stop using your materials on the construction site tomorrow!"

As he said that, Guo Shugui looked like he was begging me soon.
