In the past month, nothing had changed in Anmin Town except for Snake Head Mountain.
After becoming the actual controller of Anmen Town, Mu Yuan did not intend to bring any changes to the town.
Now was not the time.
Within a month, most of the buildings in the Munitions Factory were completed.
The wood spirit brought two technicians to the Wood Mansion.
Mu Yuan was playing Go with Mu Qinglu.
Brother, you lost again."
Mu Yuan's expression was somewhat bitter." Again? I don't believe I'll lose again."
Mu Qinglu smiled gently and said," Sure, but you've improved very quickly. You've already reached such a level in just a month."
Just as Mu Yuan was about to play another game with Mu Qinglu, Mu Ling came in with two technicians.
" Young Master, the wood spirit officer is here."
Mu Yuan looked at the door and said with a smile,"It seems like Wood Spirit has made progress. I haven't visited him during this period of time."
Mu Qinglu put away the chessboard sensibly and walked into the room with Mu He.
Mu Yuan smiled as he thought to himself,"It's rare for such a girl to become my wife. I have to protect her well in the future."
During this period of time, Mu Qinglu really made Mu Yuan unable to find any flaws.
Sitting in the hall, the wood spirit came to Mu Yuan and smiled." Commander, the production line of the steel factory has been completed. Do you want to take a look?"”。
Mu Yuan smiled." So fast? Didn't you say it would take about three months?”。
Previously, Mu Yuan had asked when the Wood Spirit Steel Smelter could be assembled, and he had said that it would take about three months.
It had only been a month.
It was already done. Mu Yuan could not believe it.
The wood spirit said seriously,"Because I've transferred all the staff to this department, and now many of the workers can help with things that don't require too high of a skill, the production equipment for the steel smelter has been built in advance."
Mu Yuan smiled." Looks like I've really underestimated you. Let's go and take a look."
After saying that, Mu Yuan shouted into the room,"Qinglu, I'm going out for a while."
Mu Qinglu walked out of the room and said with a smile," Brother, come back early."
Mu Yuan smiled and followed Wood Spirit to Snake Head Mountain.
There were already three factories that were tens of thousands of square meters in size.
There were already more than 3000 workers at Snake Head Mountain.
Among them, 2000 were literate. Most of the literate people in Lin Yuan County were brought here by Mu Yuan.
He must have used some methods in the process, but Mu Yuan could not care so much.
After these people came here, they did not resist much.
When the wood spirit brought Mu Yuan into the arsenal of Snake Head Mountain, the surrounding workers were very curious when they saw Mu Yuan.
In the beginning, Mu Yuan came a lot. After a month, Mu Yuan did not come here.
However, the wood spirits managed the arsenal well.
The wood spirit brought a dozen technicians to the steel smelting factory.
However, because the test had just been completed, many smelting equipment were currently being activated.
Standing on the stairs of the second floor of the factory and looking at the hot red molten steel in the blast furnace, Mu Yuan held the railing tightly with both hands.
" Good, good. Now that our steel factory is completed, steel is the most important step. Without steel, everything will be in vain."
"Wood spirit, what is the estimated output of this steel mill?”。
Mu Yuan had some doubts about the Wood Spirit before, but now he would not doubt it anymore, because he really felt the powerful ability and execution of the Wood Spirit.
He actually succeeded and successfully built the steel factory. All the equipment here was built by him and more than a hundred technicians through extremely simple conditions.
Now, Mu Yuan had complete trust in the wood spirit's ability. He also believed that in a year, he would definitely be able to obtain an arsenal that could produce a large number of firearms, ammunition, and even cannons.
Wood Spirit knew that Mu Yuan was very excited, but he was not. He knew that he could do it, and he was very confident that he could do it.
This situation should have happened today.
Therefore, the wood spirit smiled and said,"Commander, this steel factory is used to refine premium steel, which is high-end steel. Therefore, the output isn't large. The annual output is at most 4000 tons."
Mu Yuan nodded."4000 tons is already not bad. If it's used to make weapons, this steel is already pretty good."
"I heard you say that the steel in this steel factory will be used to make weapons and machine tools in the future, right?”。
The wood spirit nodded." Yes, most of the steel produced by this steel factory is alloy steel. My plan is to use the steel produced by this steel factory to make new machine tools and equipment, and the rest will be used to make weapons."
" Because this steel mill consumes electricity, and it consumes a lot of electricity, I even built a thermal power station next to this steel mill to supply electricity to this steel mill.
Snake Head Mountain now had three factories that were tens of thousands of square meters in size. He did not expect one of them to be a power station.
A thermal power station of over ten thousand square meters would generate a lot of electricity.
Moreover, it was specially used by this steel plant.
" This steel factory should be a special steel factory. I'll definitely need to build an even larger steel factory in the future."
The wood spirit nodded and said,"Yes, this steel factory produces alloy steel, so it's pretty good for cannon steel."
" However, we don't actually need to use alloy steel to make guns. We can just use carbon steel. However, we only have one steel factory now, so we can only use alloy steel to make guns. It's indeed a little extravagant."
In this era, alloy steel was used to make gun barrels, because the performance of alloy steel was much better than carbon steel.
However, it was just a gun, so it was not necessary to use alloy steel. For cannons, because of the huge improvement in performance and the increase in chamber pressure, alloy steel was needed.
In fact, carbon steel could also be used, but its service life would be much lower.
Currently, China had not mastered the technology of alloy steel. It was precisely because of this that China could not even make a decent cannon.
Not to mention using alloy steel to make the gun barrel. That would be too extravagant.
Mu Yuan smiled and said," But the cost of making alloy steel is too high. Fortunately, we made our own equipment."
Mu Yuan wasn't worried about the production cost because they didn't have any technical difficulties. The main cost was the salary of the workers.
The production cost of this steel plant was no different from that of an ordinary steel plant.
Mu Yuan was very excited." I want to see the first batch of molten steel come out. This is our hope."
Wood Spirit originally wanted to say that there was nothing to see, but she was very excited when she saw Mu Yuan, so she didn't say anything.
He smiled and said," I'll wait here with you."
A dozen technicians wearing safety helmets stood behind Mu Yuan. Seeing Mu Yuan so happy, they also became happy.
After waiting for five to six hours in the steel factory, the first batch of molten steel finally came out.
Looking at the fiery red molten steel, Mu Yuan's hands tightened their grip on the railing.
He was too excited. This was the beginning of the Munitions Factory.
