In the industrial revolution, it is not enough to have a scientific foundation alone, and it also requires a large amount of coal and copper and iron resources as support.

Due to his own conditions and capabilities, Martin is not clear about the current reserves of the two coal mines.

In terms of the size of Faralinburg, it might not be enough to realize Martin's previous plan of communicating with the Earl.

However, you can continue to look for veins suitable for mining in coastal areas.

With the convenience of shipping, distance is not a problem.

When it comes to road construction, the first choice is naturally cement.

This is the most important material, no one.

This time Martin did not find the limestone mine, which made him quite regretful.

On Earth, limestone gives Martin the impression that it is very cheap and almost everywhere.

However, there was no trace of it here, which made Martin very puzzled.

However, he is not a geologist, so he doesn't know the specific reason.

Of course this would not hurt him.

There is no ready-made limestone, but calcium carbonate is very easy to find.

The most inexpensive thing on the beach is shells and coral reefs...

These are very high-quality limestone sources.

As for other important components of cement, clay and slag, there is no shortage of fataline.

Clay is originally the raw material for building houses and firing porcelain. It is in large quantities and is very cheap.

No one wants copper and iron slag, and it can be easily obtained by paying some labor and transportation costs.

Next, we organize workers to build roads and open mines.

Fortunately, Martin doesn't need to participate in these specific tasks personally, and it's enough to hand them over to the Count.

So, the next morning, a notice was posted on the notice boards of various ports and in some well-known taverns.

[Fararin No. 1 Construction Company now requires a large number of workers and is well-fed.]

[Requirements: Be able to endure hardships and work hard, adapt to long-term work in the wild, 16 to 45 years old…]

At the port dock, listening to the person who knew the words read the recruitment inspiration, the young man asked to the uncle around him: "Uncle Buck, who is this Faralin's No. 1 Construction Team?"

"I'm not a person, I should be a big boss. It's definitely not ordinary to be able to use the name Faralin!" Buck stroked his chin that was slightly growing stubble and analyzed with confidence.

There was a porter who was dressed up next to him. After listening to their conversation, he lowered his voice and came over mysteriously: "Brother has vision! I heard that this construction team was established by Earl Bosen!"

"Earl Bosen?" The young man widened his eyes in disbelief.

"Shh! Don't yell, you can't choose when there are too many people." The porter quickly made a move to silence, and shook his eyes at him while lowering his voice to remind him.

"Uncle Buck, is it the adult we met that night?" The young man nodded to the other party, then turned his head and looked at Uncle Buck and asked in a low voice.

There was a little excitement in his eyes.

Thinking of the thrilling scene of that night, Buck nodded with lingering fear.

When the Lances attacked, they were on the dock.

Although I received a generous reward later, I could only barely change their lives.

For the long-term plan, they still have to continue to guard the port and continue to work diligently.

Barker pondered for a moment, pulled the worker who had just spoken, and asked impatiently: "Brother, do you know where to sign up..."

While the construction team was recruiting workers with great fanfare, on the other hand, with the help of Glace, the cement factory was built overnight and purchased shells and corals at the price of one pound and one copper coin.

There is another job of the steam engine, which is to push the grinder and grind the cement raw materials into powder.

All work is underway, and Martin and several students are in the yard of Glace, watching the steam engine with a scaled down size one to perform reciprocating movements.

The principle of the steam engine is not complicated, but it provides much more power than a few people imagined.

Even Tiya couldn't help but stare at her eyes after feeling the powerful thrust from the piston, revealing that incredible expression.

And the source of power is the burning ordinary wood.

Flame, temperature, power...

Such a transformation subverted her perception.

For mid-level extraordinary people, the power that their bodies can explode is far beyond ordinary people's cognition.

It is normal to step into a pit on the stone slab with one foot.

However, facing the thrust of nearly 20,000 cattle, it is still impossible to resist head-on.

The steam engine has been improved and can carry the working pressure of two tons of weight.

However, the power of the extraordinary lies in the extraordinary abilities and the coordination of the body.

Gress, who was standing beside her, was watching carefully.

He is usually quite particular, but he doesn't care even if his hands are dyed black.

"Is this coal? It's very similar to the charcoal we use to refine steel, but it's much heavier."

After observing for a while, Glace made a judgment.

It is worthy of being a natural talent in the craftsman sequence. However, with the observation of the naked eye and perception in the hands, this conclusion was drawn.

Martin nodded and said, "This thing can provide much higher heat than wood under the same weight."

"If you burn wood, it won't take long to consume all the trees around Faralin, which is definitely a disaster."

When refining steel, the temperature required is very high, and the wood burns not enough, but charcoal can melt copper.

It's easier to use coal.

In a steelmaking furnace, good-quality coal can easily reach thousands of degrees.

This is much better than using wood as fuel.

Of course, Martin also reminded: "But this thing contains impurities, and the gas generated is toxic, so it needs to be protected when used. From tomorrow, I will teach you chemistry classes."

Fortunately, the two coal mines discovered by Martin are of high quality and should not have high sulfur content.

Martin is also considering how to deal with exhaust gas.

In the early stages of industrial transformation, there was not much exhaust gas emitted, and it may be ignored for the time being.

Faraline is on the beach again, and the airflow is very strong, which will blow away the pollutants and dilute them, but we must not ignore them in the future.

Prepare for the future.

At least we should consider it when fully industrialized...

Otherwise, when it is fully launched, the pollution problem will become increasingly difficult to recover, and it will be troublesome to deal with it.

Glace is also very interested in the upcoming courses.

Because Martin had revealed some chemistry knowledge before this.

Gries found that in Teacher Martin's eyes, many things were completely different from what they imagined.

“Impurity?”

Gries seemed to have thought of something, and the fluctuations appeared in his hand holding coal.

Martin immediately noticed the wave and looked at Gress's hand in surprise.

The coal in his hand soon broke into tiny black flakes.

Some tiny dust precipitated from the thin sheets, and the broken coal flakes fell all over his hands.

Seeing Martin's gaze, Gries showed a smile on his face and quickly explained: "This is my new ability, which can purify some things, and I have been experimenting with this ability."

"Purification? How much can it be purified?" Martin asked impatiently.

He immediately realized that this ability is as important as [shaping], but he couldn't remember the specific purpose.

Gress was stunned for a moment and shook her head awkwardly: "I haven't tried this yet."

Martin quickly took out a gold coin and a silver coin: "You can show it to me again."

At the same time, he was also thinking quickly about the purpose of this ability in his mind.

Gold and silver coins gradually deformed in Gries' hands, and some tiny impurities were squeezed out.

Martin probably knew it.

For the purpose of setting up gold coins, they are not pure gold.

Like the gold bars of the Earl's house, platinum is added to increase the hardness.

However, under the influence of Glace's ability, the platinum in the gold coins was not extracted.

This means that platinum is not considered an impurity.

But what puzzled Martin was that coal is an organic polymer compound with very complex ingredients, so why can it still be purified?
To be continued...
