C51 Coal Lower
After Zhao Fengnian opened it, he was stunned for a moment. Then, he reached out and took out another piece.
Wasn't this the coal that he had seen in his previous life? Why is there such a faint amount of spiritual energy stored in this world?
And this fuel was not used in this world. Most of it was burned with wood, charcoal, and straw from crops.
Zhao Fengnian was curious, but at the same time, ecstatic. This was a fuel that had been widely used in his previous life, and was much more expensive than the heat provided by charcoal.
Without care for anything else, he ordered Wang Meng to bring one bag to the stove in the backyard of a shop.
He wanted to test if the coal in this world could also be burned. After burning it, it would be no different from the coal in his previous life.
Very quickly, Zhao Fengnian lit up a pile of dried wood in the stove, and placed a few pieces of coal that had been smashed into pieces on top of the wood.
As time passed, Zhao Fengnian realised that this coal could not be ignited. According to the experiences of his previous life, with how strong the burning of the wood was, the charcoal on it should have already been ignited.
But now that the situation was that there was no reaction from the coal, Zhao Fengnian was secretly disappointed. No wonder he did not see anyone using the coal to heat up the fire, if the coal with weak spirit energy could not be ignited, it would be like a rock, it would be worthless.
However, just as Zhao Fengnian was disappointed and was about to leave, the wood that was about to be burnt up suddenly exploded and burned up by a gust of wind.
And it was also at this time that the previously unresponsive coal started to turn red, and from above, a large flame sprung out, scaring Zhao Fengnian.
Feeling the intense heat and fierce flames, Zhao Fengnian finally revealed a smile.
It turned out that it wasn't that the coal didn't burn, but the burning point of this weak spiritual energy coal was much higher than that of the coal from his previous life. Furthermore, the heat generated from burning this coal was also a lot higher.
It's good to prove that the coal can be burned, and that it's not easy to light. He can solve this by changing the pattern of the stove and adding the blast system.
The key to determining the value of coal is to determine how much coal is in the territory.
He had heard that there was a large piece of wasteland in the western part of the territory that was unable to grow crops. Only weeds could grow here, and this ore was found in that place.
Based on this point, Zhao Fengnian estimated that the reserves would not be too low, but he needed to confirm for himself just how much it was.
Very quickly, Liu Fu brought his people back to the house, and the artisans that had returned home to prepare had all returned with various tools in their hands. It seemed that they were prepared to start construction today!
Zhao Fengnian then called over the craftsman again. After discussing how to modify the stove, he reduced the stove's length and width to a small part so that it was easier to gather heat.
He then dug out a groove at the bottom of the stove. There was an iron grill on the grill to help clean up the dust and promote air flow through the blast system later on.
In addition, Zhao Fengnian had another request, and that was for the blacksmith to not leak the contents of the blueprint, and not to perform the same modifications on other people, without his consent.
When the craftsmen heard this, they said that there was no problem. When they were building blueprints for other people, if it was a blueprint provided by the employer, they would not leak it out and use it for themselves, because there was such an unwritten rule in the industry.
Anyone who worked in this line of work would know that they would be willing to comply. If they didn't comply, the compensation was a small matter. If they lost their credibility, then who would be willing to work for them?
