The chief eunuch has spoken, so what else do they have to complain about, they look at this tightly sealed furnace together, and according to Gu Zheng's requirements, seal the mud layer by layer.

Don't say it, the flames under it are burning vigorously, and the natural clay is on the surface of the high-temperature stove, and there is a tendency to dry the ears in an instant.

The flames in the furnace, which provided oxygen for their continuous burning, were all that remained in the middle of the rough mud.

In the end, the high-temperature tandoor wrapped in a ball finally lost the slightest smell of fireworks.

Gu Zheng, who was outside, asked the apprentice who succeeded him to continue stepping on the stove, removed the bellows, and closed the last air hole.

Then, it's a quiet wait, everyone doesn't know what they're waiting for, just wait anyway.

When the little emperor and a group of guards swayed to the center of the workshop again, he saw the following scene.

……

A group of blackmen squatting on the ground, staring straight at a huge lump of mud.

I know that this is waiting for the ingredients to come out, and those who don't know think that this is waiting in a circle to eat steamed buns out of the oven.

When it comes to making fun, no one is better at it than this young emperor.

With a wave of his hand, he stopped the guards behind him from making a sound, untied the big fur on his body, lifted the hem of his robe, and squeezed into a gap in the group.

While squeezing, he squatted down, and he didn't think of himself as an outsider at all.

"Hey, what are you doing, what are you waiting for?"

Coincidentally, it may be that there is a heart and soul between peers, and the place where Liu Che squeezed past happened to be the location of Gu Zheng, the youngest in the crowd.

This newcomer Gu Zheng has never seen the current emperor, and when he turned his face when he heard the question, he saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, staring at him with an expression that I was curious to tell me about it.

Abrupt ...... Gu Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes naturally looked at Liu Che's hem, and he had a rough guess about the identity of the person in front of him.

Gu Zheng's face remained unchanged, and he didn't point out Liu Che's identity, but answered Liu Che's question very seriously and honestly.

"We are waiting for a newer material to come along. ”

"If we are lucky, in a quarter of an hour, a more tenacious material will appear in the workshops of our imperial court, which can be used for the forging of weapons today. ”

"If there was any technical name for this new material, I would probably call it the steel filling method, and the resulting material would be high-carbon steel. ”

"If this material is successfully smelted, it will bring a qualitative leap forward in the iron smelting of my Han Dynasty. ”

"It can also speed up the efficiency of generation, increase the output of the workshop, at least not make excellent weapons become scarce items, so that every soldier has the hope of being equipped with better weapons." ”

"You say, is it worth waiting here now?"

After listening to Gu Zheng's explanation, Liu Che's eyes changed, he rarely put away his ruffian form, and for the first time, he seriously raised his thumb towards Gu Zheng and replied with one word: "Value!"

After saying this, Liu Che didn't say more than half a word, but squatted together with a group of big bosses, as if watching a little widow take a bath...... Look at the piece of dirt in the middle.

'Jingle Bell'

Time passed smoothly and slowly, and the craftsman in charge of timing on the side rang the small copper bell hanging on the side of the workshop to keep time, reminding Gu Zheng that it was time to open the furnace.

And as this sound sounded, the men in a circle around the stove, one by two, stood up one after another, and cast their eager eyes on Gu Zheng's body.

Gu Zheng, who was watching, held a long-handled sledgehammer in his hand, and after looking around, he used his low and hoarse voice that was still in the voice change period, and roared in a low voice: "Open the furnace, connect the groove, drain, forge!"

"The pick-up hand is ready!"

After this sound fell, the sledgehammer in his hand was lifted high, and with an indomitable momentum, it struck in the direction of the discharge port of this tandoor.

"Phew!"

"Phew!"

The voice became brighter and brighter, and the strength became lighter and lighter each time.

It wasn't until the third impact sound sounded that the protruding discharge port was knocked open by Gu Zheng's hammer.

The white and yellowish flame squirted out of the furnace mouth with a swish, but after touching the cold air on the periphery, it popped and went out instantly.

This was the last trace of smoke and fire in the furnace that was sealed in the mud, and the iron juice steaming with the white mist poured out with the leakage of this trace of flame, and after the groove assistant knocked the groove into place, it flowed down the channel towards the equally hot casting table in front of it.

"How's it going?"

With the appearance of these red liquids, one by one the people around Gu Zheng gathered around this small forging platform, their eyes burning and waiting for him to get a judgment.

"It's hard to say, you need to forge the finished product before you can judge. ”

"Ah......h

Liu Che on the side was disappointed, and then let out a sigh that was not small.

And this call completely pulled everyone's minds back.

The craftsmen, who were all focused on the furnace, turned their heads and glared angrily in the direction of the mourner.

Who is so ignorant of common sense, the reform and innovation of this forging technique are all accompanied by repeated attempts and repeated failures.

If you want to test the success of the new technology, you can only judge the quality of the finished product after the time and time again.

Isn't that the basic common sense of a craftsman?

This is here to dismantle the stage, right? Who is so lacking in morality!

When they took a look like this, it was amazing, and many people's eyes were about to fall out.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Why are you here?"

You'll die if you squeak!

You know you're going to be scared to death, you know?

But they didn't dare to complain about this, but they were dressed one by one, bowed their heads and lowered their hands, and stood in front of the young emperor with a brush, and saluted together seriously and lively: "I've seen Your Majesty!"

This act came suddenly, and as a newcomer who had never seen an emperor before, how did he react?

Gu Zheng has created the image of a simple, honest and straightforward technician who is dedicated to studying very successfully.

He scratched his hair blankly at first, and then gradually grew his mouth after falling with the names of the people around him.

Then it gets bigger and bigger, and finally it forms an unbelievable state of dementia after that.

And it was this honest man's expression that completely pleased Liu Che, who was surrounded by a group of smart people.

This young emperor is really fed up with the wits and courage of those courtiers who have enough brains.

In his spare time, he would rather stay with a 'simple person' like Gu Zheng, the picture is to see through it at a glance, and the picture is a comfortable mind.

Therefore, Liu Che, who laughed a lot, didn't take into account Gu Zheng's psychological endurance at all, but patted him on the shoulder with great enthusiasm, and comforted him in an extremely intimate tone: "Why Gu Zheng, scared stupid?"

"I am the Emperor who gave you a commendation. ”

"Is this the reaction you have when you meet the employer who gives you money and goods?"

And it wasn't until this time that Gu Zheng seemed to come back to his senses, and his face instantly turned red.

Under the gaze of a crowd, the stumbling gourd painted a scoop to learn the appearance of his colleagues and bowed in the direction of Liu Che.

"Pingxian Gu Zheng, meet Your Majesty. ”

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Liu Che, who heard this, was very happy, and his hand patting Gu Zheng's shoulder still didn't stop.

"Hey, you're a good congratulatory statement. ”

"Long live, long live, not bad, if I want to say, the word long live should be prepared for me, the master. ”

"Who in this world can afford the word "long live" except me?"
