Three days passed. When Zhu Long came to the blast furnace to check again, he saw an unbelievable scene!
On the open ground, there were many steel plates and steel bars. They were densely packed and occupied a large area!
Zhu Long walked up to the steel plates and examined them carefully. He found that the quality of these steel plates was very good. They were almost no different from the steel plates in the 21st century building materials market!
"If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed that such good steel could be refined in a barren place like Siberia!”
"Advanced steel refining technology is indeed awesome!!”
Zhu Long's eyes swept across the steel plate in front of him. His face was filled with a smile, and he was extremely excited.
On the side, a few Han blacksmiths were looking at the steel plates and steel bars on the ground. They were all beaming with joy, and the excitement on their faces was beyond words!
When the other craftsmen heard the old man's words, they also echoed,""That makes sense! In this world, other than His Highness, no one else could have such great ability!”
At this moment, the blacksmith saw Zhu Long's figure and hurriedly walked over to greet him.
His eyes were filled with respect!
"Six tons of iron ore refined into two tons of high-quality steel…Excellent!”Zhu Long nodded. He was a little surprised. Even in the 21st century, it was difficult to reach this level!
This data once again proved the awesomeness of the super empire system!!
Zhu Long was very satisfied with this result. He told everyone present to refine the steel according to their first experience.
……
After refining three times, he had refined a total of 6 tons of steel. He was still 14 tons away from Zhu Long's target of 20 tons!
At this moment.
The blacksmith ran over to tell Zhu Long that the coal that had been mined previously had all been used up, and there was not much iron ore left. He requested Zhu Long to send someone to mine the coal and iron ore.
These Russians were all people who had nowhere to go. As long as they could eat and wear warm clothes, they were willing to submit. They were most suitable to be miners!
After the matter was done, he would reward them heavily.
The six Russian immediately looked delighted and nodded to accept the mission!
Zhu Long stayed in the Imperial Residence and knew that Siberia was very large. The possibility of these six Russians returning in a short period of time was very low. He had to think of other ways.
At this moment, the mortal Zhu Long looked towards the Menggu Prairie in the south and suddenly thought of a wonderful idea!
In 1645, the Menggu people on the grassland had split into two forces.
There was also a group that fled west and occupied the Western Regions and the Cong Mountains.
The Menggu people in the north of the desert chose to submit under the attack of the Manchu army and were willing to be the lackeys of the Manchu army.
The Menggu people in the Cong Mountains of the Western Regions had the support of the Russian Tsar and were determined not to surrender to the Manchu barbarians.
These two forces both felt that they were the true representatives of the Menggu people. The two sides were like fire and water, and recently, there had been frequent wars on the grassland.
Where there was war, there would be captives.
The Menggu people in the Cong Mountains of the Western Regions did not have any grudges with Zhu Long. Captives were of no value to them at all. It was better to exchange them for something valuable.
Although Zhu Long did not have much money on hand, he had a lot of resources!
Food, coal, steel, and other things were things that the Menggu people, who lacked resources, could not refuse!
