Chapter 1310 Mining Is so Easy

Bai Feng couldn't help but smile at Zhang Ning when he heard this:

"This is the first time that I have actually carried out blasting operations in a mine. Once I become more and more proficient in it, one blast will be equivalent to at least half a month's work of the miners!"

This blasting has not yet been carried out in the mine. The main reason is that the amount of nitrified/glycerin dynamite used is not well controlled and the mine will collapse.

Fortunately, the location of this blast was still some distance away from the mine, so it did not have much impact on the mine.

In order to prevent the mine from collapsing due to this blasting, Bai Feng then said to Zhang Ning:

"All the tunnels in the mine will be closed for seven days. After seven days, people will be sent in to check whether there is any possibility of collapse."

“After checking and finding no cracks or underground water, we must first strengthen the mine before we can continue mining!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ning immediately said solemnly to Bai Feng:

"I have written down all your arrangements, sir, and I will make sure the miners abide by them!"

Then Geng Zhuzhu, Zhen Cheng, Zhang Daoyi, Fang Yuan and other alchemists began to go to various explosion points to record the explosion data.

After going back for analysis and research, we will improve the setting of the blasting point next time and adjust the amount of nitrifying/glycerin explosive.

This method was also taught by Bai Feng to Wei Boyang and others after his first experiment with nitrifying/glycerin explosives.

Unlike Wei Boyang and others who were already busy recording data.

After the miners saw the rubble everywhere, they were shocked and exclaimed that it was a miracle.

"This nitrified/glycerin explosive is really so powerful!"

"I thought it was an earth dragon turning over, but it scared me."

"It turns out it's not the mountain god who appears, it's the power of the explosive explosion!"

"With so much ore, it is really convenient to use explosives. If you use a hammer, it will take at least three days and three nights!"

Bai Feng couldn't help but smile after hearing the miners' surprised words.

Using nitrified/glycerin explosives to mine mines is naturally more than ten times faster than manpower.

While the miners were shocked, they all recalled what Zhang Ning had repeatedly emphasized to them: they could not stay on the mine or in the mine cave while blasting was going on.

"If someone had been in the mine at that time, they would have been blown to pieces by now, right?"

"That's for sure. You see the ore is broken into pieces like this. If it were a human being, it would have turned into minced meat!"

"Everyone remember, don't be in the mine when you need to use explosives, otherwise no one can save him."

"Remember, remember!"

When the miners thought about the power of nitrifying/glycerin explosive blasting they had seen with their own eyes before, they all firmly remembered the requirements Zhang Ning said during the training.

Then they began to worship Bai Feng.

"This explosive in Hanzhong Hou is simply the trick of the mountain god!"

"If you look at it, even the mountain gods will be killed by those glycerin dynamite!"

"Hahaha, let's follow Hanzhong Houqian. We don't have to be afraid of any monsters or monsters!"

"That's right, Hanzhong Hou truly mastered the power of heaven and earth!"

Bai Feng and Zhang Ning on the side listened to the miners' conversation and couldn't help but look at each other.

"Pfft-hahaha!"

"Hehe. Hahaha!"

Then Zhang Ning couldn't hold back his laughter, and Bai Feng couldn't hold it back when he saw this, and started laughing.

But to say that Bai Feng has mastered the power of heaven and earth is actually not that exaggerated.

Because the name of this powerful force in heaven and earth is: science!

After Wei Boyang and others recorded the conditions of all blasting points, Bai Feng asked Zhang Ning to arrange for the miners to start working.

Under Zhang Ning's arrangement, the miners took their tools and began to sort and transport the ore again.

This time the miners are much more efficient than before.

It is also easier to work.

Nitro/glycerin dynamite helped miners complete the most energy- and physically demanding part of their work.

After seeing the miners working normally, Bai Feng left the mine with Wei Boyang, Zhang Daoyi, Fang Yuan and others.

Returning to the nitrification/glycerin explosive manufacturing workshop, Wei Boyang and Zhang Daoyi immediately began to sort out the collected data.

Bai Feng did not return to the workshop with Wei Boyang and others, but returned directly to the mansion.

Cao Jie and Liuli, along with Zhang Qiying, Diao Chan, Cai Wenji and others, went to deal with matters regarding the construction of a soap workshop in Yizhou.

So they did not come to the mine today to witness the spectacular scene of the world's first use of explosives for mining.

At this time, there were only Daqiao and Xiao Qiao in the house.

Since Cao Jie began to manage the soap workshop, most of the affairs of the Hanzhong Hou Mansion have been handed over to Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao.

It can be said that the entire Hanzhong Hou Mansion does not support an idle person, even Bai Feng is no exception.

Mainly because Bai Feng is busier than everyone else

That night Cao Jie and others returned to the Hou Mansion.

"Jie'er, you are back. How was your discussion with the nobles in Yizhou?"

Seeing Cao Jie, Liu Li and others who had just returned to the house, Bai Feng stepped forward and asked.

"It went pretty well."

Cao Jie smiled at Bai Feng when he heard this.

Bai Feng nodded, and then said to them:

"That's good. Dinner is ready. Tell me about the specific situation later."

After dinner, Cao Jie and Bai Feng took a walk in the garden to eat.

"Now the nobles in Yizhou who have received invitations have expressed their intention to invest in soap workshops and open new soap workshops and soap shops."

"After some screening, Qiying, Diao Chan and others finally agreed to let six of them invest in the soap workshop."

"The soap workshop to be built in Yizhou, as well as the location selection of the soap shop, I plan to go with Diao Chan and others to do it personally."

Cao Jie still attaches great importance to the development of soap shops and workshops, and tries to do it personally.

"Will this be too tiring? Otherwise, let the captain of the guards escort Diao Chan and Cai Wenji to go."

"No Yizhou gentry will dare not cooperate with them in the location selection and construction of soap shops and workshops."

Bai Feng was a little worried that Cao Jie was too tired, so he suggested to Cao Jie.

"What's tiring about this? I'll just go to Yizhou with them to relax."

"If my husband is worried, why don't you go with us?"

Cao Jie still hoped that Bai Feng could go to Yizhou with her.

Bai Feng couldn't help but say to Cao Jie with regret:

"Today, the mine just started using nitrate/glycerine explosives. Tomorrow I have to go to the R&D center to see the second test run of the steam locomotive."

"Next, we have to arrange various matters related to the construction of the railway."

Before Bai Feng finished talking about his next arrangements and itinerary, Cao Jie smiled at Bai Feng and said:

"Husband, you should also pay attention to rest. Don't worry about Yizhou. Believe in Jie'er's ability."
