The Rise of Iceland

The countless commodities brought back from Greenland made the Hadar family very happy. Katlin first selected Arctic fox fur for herself and her daughter to make shawls, and also selected two polar bears’ skins to give to Hadar, Olaf, Ulav, Half made a bearskin cloak.

　　 Hagrid also got a polar bear skin for Arthur and Rowling.

At this time, as time moves in bit by bit, Wenlan’s weather has reached the winter temperature that people recognize. Although the rivers and lakes have not frozen, they will be abnormally cold sooner or later. People are very clear about it. In less than ten days, maybe it is the cold winter moment when everything is depressed and the water surface freezes. At that time, no one can sustain a fire indoors to keep alive.

Hadarborg has started to burn fires as soon as the weather has cooled down in November, and the firewood has not been cut off at all. But Olaf, who went out early and returned late, found out how the coal he had been moved to the kitchen had been used. After asking my mother, I found out that coal is difficult to ignite, and the smoke is very heavy during the combustion process. A Huang Viking family nearly died of soot poisoning because of using a coal mine for heating some time ago. Now there is still one in the family. The child was paralyzed on the bed.

　　 The coal lump did not show enough advantages, but exposed terrible shortcomings. This made the two ships of coal sent from the coal mine piled up in the backyard of Hadarborg. They could hardly be sold, and they could not use much.

　　 Olaf regrets the safety accidents caused by the irregular use of coal. At the same time, he thought to himself that he was losing money in this era. If a later patient died and the hospital had to make the hospital lose money, how much would his family lose?

　　 After Olaf begged his mother to give some compensation to the gas-poisoned Viking family, he took some coal to the factory and gathered several craftsmen to study the later generations of briquettes.

　　 Coal mines have undergone many changes in the way they are used as domestic fuels. At first, they were directly burned with scattered coal. Later, in order to reduce the smoke and toxic gas, and at the same time make the coal flammable

　　, working people invented briquettes at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.

　　 The crushed coals and soil or even grass mustard are mixed into a spherical shape. Such briquettes are more resistant to combustion and have less smoke and dust.

However, the most flammable and flame-resistant, and at the same time, the number of coal briquettes with less smoke and dust. That kind of coal is flammable and combustible. It is an important part of Olaf’s childhood life in his previous life. Whether it is heating in winter or cooking throughout the year, briquettes are The most basic fuel.

Now the longhouses where Vikings live in Herut City basically have smoke stacks, so burning coal and wood can be used for heating, as long as the coal is improved into combustible and combustible briquettes, and the prevention of gas poisoning is in place. In the future, the use of briquettes for heating in winter is the general trend.

　　 As for contracted white slaves and indigenous slaves, due to economic conditions, they generally burn some firewood at night to keep warm in winter, and hold a group to keep warm during the day.

In order to promote coal, Olaf decided to distribute ten briquettes to each family for free after the production was successful, and when everyone had to use it, he set a price of one copper coin and two. The contracted white slaves could definitely afford it. If the indigenous slaves sold their lives to work. , The host family is willing to buy some for them, especially the private slaves of the Hadar family. Olaf has decided that his slaves and family private slaves will be allocated some briquettes in the winter.

　　 Although Olaf hasn't developed briquettes yet, he doesn't regard it as a problem at all in his mind.

　　 Olaf’s memory tells him that briquettes are made by using an iron tool to compress the reconciled coal slime.

The point is not to press the briquettes, because Olaf and several blacksmiths together, these craftsmen drew a sketch, Olaf saw the tools used to press the briquettes, and then the several blacksmiths went to make tools with copper ingots. Up.

It’s even more difficult to make coal slime than Olaf. Although he doesn’t know what the briquettes are mixed with hundreds of years later, they are nothing more than dirt, sawdust, etc. Olaf, after discussing with other craftsmen, let them use them first. The wind power equipment on Razor Hill smashed the coal into pulverized coal, then found some mud, added water to become mud, filtered the sinking stones, and then added the mud to the pulverized coal to live it into a dark mud pile, and then rub it. Make some briquettes and put them in the sun to dry.

When Olaf went to the factory at noon the next day, he found that the surface of the briquettes was almost dry. At this time, the blacksmiths had already built four molds. Olaf continued to bring the workers and mud, and then pressed the briquettes with tools. After experimentation Only one of the four mold tools can be used flexibly, and after watching Olaf personally suppress the briquettes for a while, several blacksmiths took the failed tools to modify it.

　　 By noon on the third day, the fully functional briquettes have been successfully manufactured and put into production.

At this time, the briquettes that were rubbed by hand on the first day were also dry. Olaf tested on the spot and let people take the briquettes and ignite them at the same time. The final result of the experiment is that briquettes are indeed flammable than coal briquettes, but the degree of combustion resistance is worse. Smoke and dust are also smaller than when coal is burned.

The success of the experiment made Olaf very happy. He waited for another day to compare the combustion test of briquettes, coal and briquettes. All the craftsmen and apprentices of the factory came to watch. The final result was that the briquettes went from flammable to combustible, and then to The smoke and dust from both sides during the combustion process are the most perfect products.

Amid the applause of everyone, Olaf announced the official establishment of the honeycomb coal plant at Olaf Factory, and then selected a few craftsmen and many apprentices to work as workers in coal crushing and coal making. At the same time, he promised no less than the winery and sugar factory. remuneration.

　　 The craftsmen and apprentices who were selected as workers in the honeycomb coal plant are quite happy. Although the coal plant is a bit dirty, the income is higher than that of other things made in the factory floor.

　　 After a week of continuous work, tens of thousands of briquettes were made. Then Olaf gave ten yuan to all families in Hroot City and announced that the sale price was two yuan per copper coin.

At present, although there are basically no commercial activities in the city of Groot, even some of them are monopolized by the Hadar family. Except for the Vikings and some contracted white slaves who can use copper, silver and even gold coins to trade, most people are still bartering. Level.

　　 But everything has a price. A pound of potatoes or sweet potatoes costs 1 copper coin. The price of a fresh cod or dried cod in Groot is 40 copper coins, a **** skin is worth 25 copper coins, and a reindeer skin is worth 25 copper coins...

　　Because the business activities of the people in Herut City are based on actual demand, the naturally formed commodity prices are not in line with many places in the European market, or even seriously contradictory, but the Wenlan people have adapted and accepted it.

An adult Viking or contract white slave hunting or fishing privately, the market value of Herut City created by an average of ten or twenty copper coins, so relying on occasional hunting and fishing, no family can burn coal, It is not burning coal, but burning rations, they think it is best to use the wood they cut.

　　 But Wenlan is the richest member of the Viking Corps, Militia Corps, White Wolf Soldiers and other military families. They can rob in wars. This is a three-year business of wealth.

There is also the monthly food that Hadar will distribute to the families of Viking soldiers, militiamen and white wolf soldiers through Viking Raydang~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Even the smallest slave militiamen can receive 30 pounds of potatoes per month. Or sweet potato, if it is a Viking soldier, the income is ten times that of a slave soldier.

　　 The Viking soldiers, white wolf soldiers and militia leaders with huge incomes still have no pressure to buy briquettes. Therefore, in Olaf’s eyes, the 700 or 800 families behind these people will be the future customers of briquettes.

Most families use one or two pieces of briquettes for cooking or heating after taking the briquettes back home. Then the briquettes have become the warming artifacts in the hearts of Wenlan people in winter, because it has no firewood flue gas, as long as there are pipes, briquette Most of the poisonous gas can run out, and the rest is not harmful to people.

　　 More importantly, briquettes are far more combustible than firewood. A few pieces of briquettes can burn overnight, generally just adding one at night.

　　 But if you want to burn firewood without extinguishing the fire, you have to add firewood seven or eight times or even eight or nine times at night.

　　 Although time passed day by day, the temperature in Wenlan was getting lower and lower.

Entering the city of Groot in December, it was already extremely cold. After experiencing the benefits of briquettes, Hadar sent people 1,000 yuan each to Hadar, Bakkens, and Basque, and at the same time, he gave them a special order. The key point of use is to make the exhaust chimney perfect. It must be exhausted or even returned. It must be ensured that the flue gas is discharged smoothly. This is the first point of using briquettes.
