After Bai Feng's explanation, Xiahou Dun could already understand why Bai Feng said that coal was the best raw material for a steam engine.

"Hanzhong Hou said very much. It seems that this coal should be used as fuel for steam engines."

Xiahou Dun said to Bai Feng that he had begun to recall where coal was produced in Yizhou.

"Tomorrow, I plan to bring the craftsmen back to Hanzhong, and strive to manufacture the steam engine as soon as possible."

"It's not too late for the general to start preparing for the coal thing."

Bai Feng smiled at Xiahou Dun after hearing this.

Xiahou Dun nodded, but did not keep Bai Feng in Yizhou for longer.

"As far as I know, there is really a place in Yizhou that produces coal."

Xiahou Dun said to Bai Feng after thinking about it for a while.

Bai Feng was quite surprised to hear that.

Unexpectedly, Yizhou already had coal mines.

This is convenient for Xiahou Dun to mine coal and saves a lot of time for exploration.

"Hahaha, it seems that it is appropriate to start the use of steam engines in Yizhou first!"

Bai Feng is now looking forward to the manufacture of steam trains even more.

With steam engines and sufficient coal supply, both steam trains and railway construction can be carried out simultaneously.

Bai Feng planned to return to Hanzhong to arrange the craftsmen in the R&D center, and then began to vigorously mine coal mines in Hanzhong.

The construction of the railway cannot be completed overnight, but it is not a problem to build a railway between Hanzhong and Yizhou first.

After all, Bai Feng now has the mineral distribution map of the entire Hanzhong in his hands.

The location of the iron ore and the location of the coal mine have been clearly marked on the mineral distribution map.

What Bai Feng has to do is to send people to mine and transport it.

After hearing what Bai Feng said, Xiahou Dun was also happy and said to Bai Feng:

"Hahaha, then I'll wait for the good news from Hanzhong Hou."

As soon as the steam engine is available, Xiahou Dun will start to transform the hydraulic loom in his workshop.

And for Xiahou Dun, even the workshops of other officials and noble families in Yizhou could use looms equipped with steam engines.

But the most crucial fuel for the steam engine, coal, was in the hands of Xiahou Dun.

Whether it's the improved loom or the sale of coal, it can be very profitable.

Xiahou Dun certainly supported Bai Feng in making steam engines.

It can be said that Bai Feng and Xiahou Dun hit it off on the steam engine.

After Bai Feng, Liuli and Zhang Qiying rested at Xiahou Dun's mansion for a night, Bai Feng took Liuli and Zhang Qiying to say goodbye to Xiahou Dun the next day.

Xiahou Dun and Yizhou officials and nobles who heard the news all came to see Bai Feng off.

Bai Feng took eighty craftsmen on their way back to Hanzhong in the middle of everyone's farewell.

The carriages were prepared by Xiahou Dun and Yizhou officials.

Bai Feng and his party returned to Hanzhong in just one day by carriage.

After returning to Hanzhong, Bai Feng took the eighty craftsmen directly to the R&D center outside Hanzhong.

In order to accommodate more craftsmen, the R&D center has built two dormitories and a canteen.

After these 80 craftsmen came to R&D, they were very interested in everything in the R&D center.

Whether it is the factory of the R&D center, or the dormitory and canteen, these craftsmen have visited them one by one under the leadership of the first batch of craftsmen in the R&D center.

"This is where we eat. Hanzhong Hou named it the canteen."

"We have three meals a day, and every meal has meat!"

"Hanzhong Hou said that only when you are full can you have the strength to work!"

It was Li Tiedan who was in charge of leading the 80 craftsmen from Yizhou to visit the R&D center.

Now Li Tiedan is proudly showing the environment of the R&D center to the new craftsmen.

These artisans from Yizhou exclaimed in amazement at the neat dormitory and the canteen full of meat.

"This condition is also very good!"

"As expected of the R&D center established in Hanzhong Hou!"

"I want to work here for Hanzhong for the rest of my life, and let my son come over when he grows up!"

Li Tiedan enjoyed the marvels of the craftsmen at the R&D center and was very proud.

When Li Tiedan took 80 craftsmen from Yizhou to visit the R&D center and settled down in accommodation, Bai Feng was talking with Geng Zhuzi outside the R&D center.

"This time I brought back a total of 80 craftsmen from Yizhou."

"Thirty of them were officials from Yizhou and craftsmen in the family workshops of the nobility, and the remaining fifty were craftsmen among the supervisors of Yizhou."

"This group of craftsmen can participate in the work of the steam engine production line, and can also participate in the manufacture of subsequent steam trains."

Bai Feng and Geng Zhuzi explain the origin of these craftsmen.

Geng Zhuzi's eyes lit up when he heard that he was about to start building a steam locomotive.

"However, it should be noted that, apart from our original craftsmen and students, this group of craftsmen is temporarily unable to participate in the main manufacturing of steam trains. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

"Even new craftsmen who are assigned to the steam engine production line have to do a good job of screening."

Bai Feng began to exhort Geng Zhuzi.

Although these artisans have food and lodging in the R&D center, Bai Feng cannot prohibit the families of these artisans from visiting the R&D center.

It is also necessary for these craftsmen to return to Yizhou to reunite with their families during the festivals.

The reason why Bai Feng did not bring these craftsmen's families to Hanzhong was not because Bai Feng could not afford the expenses, but because doing so would make the Yizhou nobles and officials who provided Bai Feng with the craftsmen uneasy.

After listening to Bai Feng's advice, Geng Zhuzi already understood what Bai Feng was worried about.

"I understand Mr.'s arrangement. Please rest assured, sir. I will definitely check the situation of this batch of craftsmen, and then decide how to appoint them."

Then Geng Zhuzi assured Bai Feng.

With experience in manufacturing steam engines and building steam engine production lines, Geng Zhuzi is now more confident in managing the entire R&D center.

After all, Geng Zhuzi was originally an official in Chu State.

Now that he is gradually familiar with Dawei, Gengzhuzi is more like a duck to water.

And Bai Feng also has great trust in the ability and character of Geng Zhuzi.

With the system as a guarantee, Bai Feng will naturally not worry that Geng Zhuzi will betray himself for profit.

"Hahaha, that's fine!"

Bai Feng smiled at Geng Zhuzi, and then the two came to the steam engine production line together.

At this time, the steam engine production line has been improved again.

"Sir, the current steam engine production line can guarantee the production and assembly of a steam engine in one day!"

Geng Zhuzi took Bai Feng to inspect the steam engine production line and said affirmatively to Bai Feng.
