Chapter 1323: Chapter 1174: Good Idea

Moreover, these specialized rebars and steel materials have undergone special treatment and forging, which were not available when Lao Lin arrived.

The previously used rebars were merely elongated iron rods, and there were no patterns on them. It wasn’t until Lao Lin arrived that he specifically had them improved.

It can be said that the steel currently in use is almost the same as solid steel, although it doesn’t achieve the same level of refinement nor the strength of solid steel.

But at least, it’s far stronger than the existing ones today.

Furthermore, even though the current steel isn’t as strong or robust as future materials, one thing must be acknowledged—its usage rate is quite high. In essence, originally there were four pieces of steel on a single bearing column, but here there are as many as ten, potentially even more.

In other words, to compensate for the lack of quality, the quantity is increased to ensure the safety of the structure.

Also, for the first residential building in Dayou Country, they didn’t opt for extreme heights, settling at just six floors. At this height, the current steel suffices, ensuring at least the safety issue is non-existent.

Because of this, Lao Lin’s technology has been widely applied. Although the solid steel material is quite special, obtaining the extraction methods for solidly refined steel and various used gadgets is quite straightforward.

Without exaggeration, Lin Yi only needs to acquire a steel factory, and it’s done.

Then, simply bring all the equipment and technology from the future steel factory to Dayou Country, and it’s perfect.

After all, in many future steel factories, there’s a need for ore purchasing or acquiring raw materials of steel. But in this ancient society, Dayou Country doesn’t need that at all.

Be aware that currently, the world’s iron mines are under Lin Yi’s control. The mined iron isn’t even a drop in the ocean, so in this situation, Lin Yi will definitely not lack iron ore.

Currently, due to technological constraints, many ores cannot be mined, with the largest extraction being from open-pit mines.

Because of this, Lin Yi only needs to bring back the ore refining technology, along with a few sets of large ore extraction equipment. Then everything will be fine, and Dayou Country’s requirement for steel and iron can be met.

Describing the amount of steel and iron needed in Dayou Country is obvious.

It’s absolutely incalculable, only describable with astronomical numbers.

It’s not just Dayou Country; whether it’s Yan Country or Zhao Country, which doesn’t need reconstruction? Which city’s construction doesn’t require a vast amount of steel?

Without exaggeration, just the construction of this single residential area has gathered all the iron in Capital City of Dayou Country.

Even so, it’s still not enough, given that the current iron mining pace is too slow, with a nationally minimal iron reserve. Iron smelting, naturally, has always been state-controlled because, in this cold weapon era, controlling iron mines equates to controlling weapons. The more weapons owned, the more formidable one becomes.

Moreover, without exaggeration, in a true international war, not all tens of thousands of soldiers have weapons.

This isn’t a joke; it’s indeed true.

Without exaggeration, among a hundred thousand soldiers, many in the rear still hold nothing more than wooden sticks.

Many people just charge forward, picking up the weapons and armor of soldiers who fell ahead.

Still, even this doesn’t meet the demand.

Regarding this, Lin Yi also deeply understood, as did Lao Lin and Xiao Zihan, discussing this with Lin Yi more than once.

And Lin Yi has been brainstorming solutions, starting to contact the manufacturing group to procure large mining equipment, along with steel refining technology and furnaces from the future.

Though such purchases aren’t as reassuring as making them himself, nor as sustainable.

Nonetheless, given the current technology, Dayou Country’s overall level is quite low, and thus, the ideology of "buy over build" prevails.

To truly achieve self-sufficiency, it would take at least ten years or even longer, even with Lin Yi’s technical support.

Without exaggeration, one must wait for a generation’s growth. Currently, starting with children, waiting until they can truly enter the industry would take till at least ages fifteen or sixteen, or even seventeen or eighteen. This process is lengthy and essential, and no one can force growth.

Even if Lin Yi forcibly hands the technology to contemporary artisans, they would only grasp the rudimentary, without delving deeper. Even if they wish to explore, their brain’s knowledge reserves wouldn’t allow them to do so.
