Chapter 226 The Second Blacksmith Shop
The next day, Lougao's shop was officially closed. Outsiders mistakenly thought that it was in the process of lowering prices and was unable to make ends meet. In the end, it closed down due to financial problems.
This incident also made the outside world mistakenly believe that the cost and cost of bicycles are very expensive.
This has also made the popularity of Quan Yi's bicycle shop rise again.
However, compared to this, Lou Gao's joining made him even more happy.
In one day, Lou Gao passed the position of president of the Blacksmith Association to Silong and joined the Quan family alone.
Although, in addition to Lou Gao, there were also many blacksmiths who wanted to follow Lou Gao and join the Quan family, but they were ultimately rejected by Quan Yi.
The blacksmiths in the Blacksmith Association are a mixed bag. In the short term, it can indeed greatly increase their power, but in the long run, it will not be beneficial to the family.
Because the equipment he is researching is a secret among the secrets of the Quan family, and it cannot be leaked until Quan Yi is truly ready.
Moreover, he has a steam power device and does not need too many manpower. He pays more attention to the individual talents of the blacksmith.
Therefore, at this stage, one person per building is enough.
The remaining blacksmiths chose to return to Gengxin City to continue producing bicycles.
This is Quan Yi's acquiescence, but in exchange, Gengxin City needs to provide various metal ores at prices lower than the market price, and also has to bear the freight.
Silong, the chief disciple of Lou Gao, immediately agreed to this request after taking over the position of president.
As long as he can get Quan Yi's approval and continue to produce bicycles, he is willing even if Quan Yi asks him to provide minerals for free.
The cooperation between the Blacksmiths Association and the Quan Family has thus been reached.
Although Quan Yi does not directly control the Blacksmiths Association, he has closer ties with the Blacksmiths Association.
In the future, there will be a need for further cooperation, and a certain foundation has been established.
On the afternoon when Lou Gao joined the Quan family, Quan Yi took Lou Gao to a brand new blacksmith shop.
The location of this blacksmith shop is just in the opposite direction of the Yuan family's blacksmith shop.
The two walked into the blacksmith shop together. Lou Gao curiously looked at the various novel objects arranged in the forging room.
Especially when he saw the giant steam forging hammer in the center, he looked surprised.
“Young Master, what is this?”
The master of the building pointed his forging hammer and asked Quanyi.
Quan smiled and said nothing. Instead, he walked to the boiler and added charcoal to it.
After waiting for a while, the boiler heats up, and the water stored in the boiler is heated and begins to boil.
Then, accompanied by the harsh sound of steam ejecting, the hammer head and the piston rod device of the cylinder moved up and down, and the steam hammer began to float up and down.
Quanyi took out a piece of red-hot iron and placed it on the anvil under the forging hammer.
"Dang! Dang! Dang!"
As the huge hammer moved up and down, a basketball-sized iron block was smashed into a deep pit in an instant.
In just four or five minutes, ordinary iron blocks were forged into pure iron essence.
The huge impact caused by the impact penetrated the air and impacted Lou Gao's heart.
“What an incredible device, it can be called a forging artifact. With it, ordinary craftsmen can easily refine metal, and the efficiency will be doubled several times.”
Lou Gao walked to the steam engine In front of me, I obsessively looked at the position and operation of various parts.
Quanyi walked up to him and introduced:
"Master Lou, this is the forging room I specially built for you. There are various convenient props here that use the kinetic energy of steam. With these , the master can easily forge various metals and objects without any effort.
From now on, this forging room will be Master Lou's work space.
From now on, when conducting research and forging, Master, you can use it at will." Lou Gao thanked Chaoquan excitedly: "Thank you, Master. I am very satisfied. Just this thing called a steam engine is enough for me to study for a long time."
Quan Yi smiled and said: "Haha, Master, without further ado, I would like to entrust Master to study something."
Lou Gao's face was solemn and he replied seriously: "Please tell me, young master, I'm ready."
Quanyi took out a thick stack of drawings from his chest.
After Lou Gao took over the drawings, he found that they were full of strange appliances that he couldn't understand.
He could barely understand that the design on this drawing was very similar to a steam engine.
He asked: "Young Master, is this a steam engine?"
"Yes, this is the result of joint research between me and another blacksmith Yuan. It records everything from the beginning to the end. The current research process. "
Lou Gao looked at the drawings in his hands in disbelief and asked, "Young master, if you give all of this to me, aren't you afraid of the information being leaked? "
Quan Yi looked at Lou Gao calmly and said: "Master is a smart man, and he should not do anything unwise."
Quan Yi's tone was very calm, but he had an unshakable will.
Lou Gao couldn't help but feel nervous when he saw the inexplicable look flashing through Quan's eyes.
He thought to himself: "Today's young people are really not to be underestimated. They are really decisive in doing things."
Indeed, if Lou Gao leaks the secret, he will definitely be hunted down by the entire Quan family. This is a matter of Contra. The powerful family of the Soul Saint.
He is not someone a blacksmith can mess with.
Furthermore, Lou Gao knew very well that Contra could not be used to deal with him. The young man in front of him could easily defeat him.
Lou Gao said with a serious expression: "Don't worry, young master, I will keep it strictly confidential."
Quan nodded, and then said: "During this period, I hope Master Lou can take good care of himself first. Study the principles and structure of the steam engine.
After the master masters it, I would like to ask Master Lou to use his ability to further improve the power device of the steam engine."
"Okay, young master. Don't worry. I will understand these studies as soon as possible."
Then, Quan Yi called out the five blacksmiths of the Quan family and said: "These five people are blacksmiths trained by the Quan family, specially called to assist Master Lou in his research. The five of them participated in all the research. If the master has anything you don’t understand, you can ask them.”
Lou Gao glanced at the blacksmith beside Quan Yi, feeling a little surprised.
This is because none of these blacksmiths are very old, none over forty.
The team that created the steam engine was too young.
At this time, he could no longer hold back his doubts and asked: "Young Master, who is the blacksmith who created the steam engine and the bicycle? Could it be that the age of that master is also the same as these people? Is that about the same?”
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the five people present became strange, and they looked towards Lou Gao with a strange expression.
Seeing that the atmosphere became weird, Lou Gao asked anxiously: "What's wrong? Did I ask a question I shouldn't have asked?"
Quan Yi smiled and replied: "Bicycles and steam engines It was developed by another blacksmith and I. Most of the drawings in the master's hands were drawn by me.
As for the other blacksmith's information, I cannot disclose it due to confidentiality reasons. However, if Master Lou has any questions in the future, you can ask me directly. "
Lou Gao couldn't stop the shock in his heart, he was a little unbelievable.
However, when he saw the five people around him looking at Quan Yi with fiery and admiring eyes, he couldn't help but believe Quan Yi's words.
All the fantasies in Lou Gao's heart about the mysterious blacksmith were shattered at this moment.
Who would have thought that the mysterious blacksmith who convinced him was actually a teenager.
The complex emotions disrupted Lou Gao's thinking.
