What's wrong? ”

Fei Qian returned to the backyard and saw Huang Yueying squatting with a sad face, her big round eyes wrinkled, as if she had eaten something extremely sour and bitter.

"It's too brittle......" Huang Yueying saw that it was Fei Qian, and she didn't stand up directly, but frowned and gestured to the object in her hand.

A few black flakes.

"This is ......"

Far away, Fei Qian didn't see it clearly, and only after walking a few steps closer did he see that it was actually a few pieces of iron.

"Won't you, you're gnawing on this?" Fei Qian was stunned.

Huang Yueying stood up angrily and said angrily: "I'm not a tapir, how can I eat this!" ”

"Seeing your wrinkled face, I thought it was ......" Fei Qian reached out and took the iron piece in Huang Yueying's hand, and gently tapped each other a few times, making a tinkling sound.

Huang Yueying didn't know where to pick up a hammer and handed it over.

Fei Qian placed the iron piece on the ground, put a stone on it, and then raised his hammer and smashed it, breaking the iron into two knots in the sparks.

"Well, it's too brittle......" Fei Qian frowned, the pig iron content in the alloy was too high.

To produce weapons in large quantities, although the traditional forging is relatively mature and stable, but the production efficiency is still too low, Fei Qian has always wanted to copy the Qin Dynasty's efficient bronze smelting technology to steel, but there will always be such and such problems.

After all, the efficiency between infusion and forging can be said to be more than ten times worse......

Under the technical conditions of ancient times, there were two kinds of iron-making methods: one is the block smelting method, which is in a bowl furnace or a lower shaft furnace, reducing iron oxide into sponge iron at a lower temperature, and then forging and squeezing slag to become wrought iron, and then carburizing and forging can be made into steel; The other is the pig iron smelting and casting method, which is in the tall shaft furnace, the iron oxide is reduced and carburized at high temperature into liquid pig iron, and then released from the furnace to cast into ingots or casting vessels, pig iron can be made into steel or malleable cast iron through a variety of treatments.

Feiqian now has hydraulic blowers and refining coal and coke technology, but the mineral quality is not very good, and desulfurization and decarburization are relatively difficult, which also leads to the rapid progress of pig iron casting technology.

The artificial iron products originally used in Huaxia were also block iron products, but pig iron smelting technology was invented very early and immediately occupied the mainstream position. In the late Warring States period, there was a great deal of development, inventing the cast iron softening technology that can be malleable cast iron, the steelmaking technology of annealing and decarburizing to obtain cast iron decarburized steel, and the use of iron fan to cast iron in batches.

However, these iron tools are used in agricultural tools and other equipment that do not require high strength and toughness, so there is naturally no problem, but if they are on the blade......

On the battlefield, a small mistake can lead to the defeat of the entire campaign, not to mention the blades that are directly used in the fight, of course, the better the better.

At first, Fei Qian's troops were basically cavalry, and the number was not much, and the traditional metallurgical forging, iron and steel frying, and then using the hundred steel refining technology of folding and forging many times, could still be roughly supplied to the army, but now the territory has increased a lot, not to mention anything else, the resident foot soldiers must be recruited, so that the gap in the blade is invisibly a lot bigger.

In addition, Yuan Shao of Jizhou, Cao Cao of Yanzhou, and even Liu Biao of Jingzhou have placed some orders, and how to produce qualified steel faster has become the main metallurgical problem of Huang's workshop.

Fei Qian vaguely remembered that it seemed that by mixing pig iron and wrought iron, a more suitable ferroalloy similar to steel could be directly obtained, and then after quenching and cutting, it could be directly used as a blade, so he was studying the proportion of this mixture for a period of time, as well as specific ways and methods.

But, apparently, this time the experiment failed again.

"The method of filling steel...... Fei Qian looked at the iron piece and muttered, "It is inevitable that the material will not be even...... You'll have to find another way......"

The method used now is to obtain wrought iron first, then the wrought iron is coiled into a ball, and then the pig iron is covered and mixed with it, and mixed smelting and forging is carried out to obtain a piece of synthetic steel, but it is obvious that the proportion of pig iron and the fusion of the material are not easy to control, and sometimes there will be too much pig iron, resulting in brittleness.

"What then?"

Although Huang Yueying is much stronger than most women in the Han Dynasty in engineering, she is still a girl after all, and when she saw Fei Qian standing in front of her, she subconsciously chose not to use her brain and move her mouth, and threw the question she had been thinking about to Fei Qian.

"Let's try something else......" Fei pondered, turning the piece of iron over and over again, "Wait...... Let me think about ......"

Pig iron is brittle, wrought iron is tough, the knife edge is required to be sharp, and the whole is required to be firm.

Fei Qian suddenly gestured on the iron sheet with his hand, and said: "If this is the case, take wrought iron as the body, cast pig iron together, and when it is extremely ripe, when the pig iron is about to flow, then use pig iron to pour on it, rub it in, maybe you can have both......"

Huang Yueying tilted her head and listened, her two big eyes shining, "That makes sense, I'll try it now......" After finishing speaking, she turned around and walked backwards, but she shook after taking two steps, if it weren't for Fei Qian's fast hands and feet, maybe she would have fallen to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Fei Qian hurriedly asked.

Huang Yueying was soft, frowned and said, "I don't know...... Some dizziness ......"

"Someone! Go and ask Dr. Zhang to come over! Fei Qian was taken aback, after all, in the Han Dynasty, even a small cold that could be said in later generations could kill people.

Zhang Yun came quickly. In the Han Dynasty, there was no bullshit rule that female dependents could not see outsiders, and it was also a diagnosis and treatment, after Zhang Yun confessed, he gave Huang Yueying a pulse.

Suddenly, Zhang Yun's eyebrows moved, his eyes purred twice, and he seemed to be a little afraid to confirm the diagnosis again, and then he smiled and arched his hand to Fei Qian: "Congratulations to the prince!" Great joy, great joy! ”

………………………………

In the Xianbei Royal Court of Yanmen, there are also some people who have encountered happy events.

Budugen looked at the pile of gold, silver and jade in front of him with interest, and even bacon and silk, as the more justifiable king of Xianbei at the moment, Budugen is actually not as ambitious as Sandalwood Huai, but the problem is that Budugen must be ambitious. Compared with Kirby Neng, Budugen's size is smaller, and there is no strange ability of the legendary sandalwood locust bloodline to summon the wind and rain to lure the wolf and leopard to fight, but the greed and cunning in his eyes are not much less.

Budugen is over thirty years old, and he used to be young and strong, but now he is slowly becoming more calm as he grows older......

"Good thing...... Bu Dugen even pulled up a piece of bacon, smelled it, and threw it to the drooling guard on the side, "Go, cook it first, and everyone will taste it......"

Dried bacon is hard, but it is also fragrant.

And wine.

Some are made of altars, and some are of porcelain vases.

"It's all good things...... Bu Dugen carefully pinched a porcelain bottle, raised his head slightly, as if recalling something, and said, "When I led people south, I attacked the big city of the Han people...... The Han officials ran away and took away a lot of good things, but there were also some things that they didn't have time to take away, of course, those stinky boys who rushed in first didn't know what good things were at all, and they broke a lot of them, and they were even more angry and fireproof......"

"Hahahaha......" Several Xianbei ministers sitting cross-legged on the side also laughed.

Fu Luohan patted his leg and said, "Is that stinky boy?" The hairy ones should be beaten! "Fu Luo Han is a few years older than Budugen, although it is the same father, but because he was born to a slave girl, he is a little worse than Budugen in blood.

"So, my lord, this time the matter of the alliance ......," said Kirbyneng's emissary.

"Well, I see......" Budugen waved his hand, "you go down and rest first, and then I'll look for you ......"

"This ......" Kirbineng's envoy was a little helpless, but he had no choice but to touch his chest and bow, and retreated, "Obey the king's wishes......"

Budugen turned back to the top and sat down again.

"What do you think?" Budugen said.

"I think so! OK! A Xianbei minister stared at the pile of gold and silver treasures, and his eyes couldn't be pulled out.

Money-grubbing guys......

Budugen's gaze swept over the man, and he looked at the next one.

"The name of the king, Kirby can this guy said before that he wanted it, and if he said he didn't want it, he didn't want it, hehe...... This time, the coalition is not impossible, the main thing is to decide who is the main decision, otherwise it will be ......troublesome in the future," said another Xianbei minister.

Well, is this the old man......

"King, some time ago, people from the north also mentioned going south, but they said that they were going to attack Yin Mountain......

"What's so good about Yinshan...... A bunch of poor ghosts...... Yinshan doesn't have much money, only in that Han Pingyang! It's too far! Besides, Yinshan is not easy to provoke any expedition to the west, it is very strong, it is better to follow Kirby to the east......"

"Follow?"

"Huh? With it, with it...... Hey, I said, did you kid do it on purpose? ”

"You said it, and I didn't force you to say it...... Why, I can't say it in front of the king? ”

"That's it! Shut up! Budugen shouted in a deep voice, then stretched out his hand and pointed at Fu Luohan, "Tell me about it!" ”

Fu Luohan looked at Bu Dugen's face and said, "Kirby Neng has always been dissatisfied with the king...... It's rare to bow your head this time, I think, you can give it a try, first, so that Kirby can see that our strength is not bad, in case we can really attack the Han land, we can also get some materials and population, so that Kirby can not monopolize it, and second, we can also find an opportunity to reduce Kirby's men......"

Budugen nodded.

Isn't that what that sounds like......

"Okay, that's it!" Budugen clapped his hands and said, "Then you will lead the people of the headquarters...... I'll add another 3,000 to you, gather Kirby Neng, and go south together! ”

………………………………

Heaven always seems to be balanced, some people rejoice, and naturally some people grieve.

The overnight riot in Luoyang City was no less than when the Han Dynasty was just about to get up, and it suffered another heavy blow.

Later generations of scientists, well, may not necessarily be scientists, but all kinds of idle guys who have done all kinds of monkey experiments, some of which are real, some of which are fake, and some of which are simply simulated by the marketers themselves, such as the most famous wet monkey experiment.

But one thing is for sure, when people try to stand up and are beaten down again and again, some people will get used to lying on their stomachs, while others will become more and more frustrated.

As for what kind of person he will be, Liu Xie doesn't know, but he knows that this time, he is very hurt.

In the palace city, Liu Xie walked up to the lookout and quietly looked at the Luoyang City outside the palace wall.

Although most of the black smoke in the city has dissipated, there are still soldiers coming and going in the streets, and the atmosphere of Xiao Killing makes Luoyang City, which has not fully recovered, even more desolate.

Liu Xie let out a long breath, I don't know if it was the reason for the relatively large wind on the lookout, Liu Xie's body trembled slightly......

After a while, the queen came and brought Liu Xie a big coat and gently draped it on Liu Xie's body.

"Your Majesty......"

Liu Xie lowered his head and looked at the queen's hand, which was also trembling slightly.

Empress Fu Shou tied Liu Xie's belt with a big coat, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Your Majesty...... We...... It's going to be okay, right? My father...... They...... It's going to be okay, right? ”

Liu Xie didn't answer, and he didn't know.

After another night of panic, the palace was cordoned off and all information was cut off.

"......" Fu Shou also fell silent, gently tugging at Liu Xie's robe, bowing his head and saying nothing.

"I ...... cough cough ......" Liu Xie's voice was a little dry, and after coughing twice, he continued to say slowly, "In the second year of Xingping, the Yanqing locust covered the sky and the sun...... In the first year of Yanping, Xu Yang was shaken, and the Haihe River was flooded...... In the second year of Yanping, the sun set and thundered in winter, and the sun and moon changed color...... I am so unscrupulous, causing the heavens to be angry......"

"Your Majesty......" Fu Shou shook his head, but he didn't know what to say. Say that it is not Liu Xie's fault, it is all the minister's fault? But the minister also includes her father......

This time, Lu Bu was to be set aside, wasn't it determined by Fu Shi and Liu through consultation, and whose fault should it be regarded as the current situation?

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are even worse than natural disasters......

Liu Xie smiled lightly: "I thought I would ...... There are always few thieves, but there are always many loyal ministers...... It's ridiculous that I entrust others with social and state affairs...... I've been a Han monk for three or four hundred years, and now I've raised something......"

"Your Majesty!" Fu Shou was a little anxious, and tightly tugged on Liu Xie's sleeve.

Liu Xie patted Fu Shou's hand lightly and said, "Fu Gong...... It's a loyal servant...... However, not all ministers can be like Fu Gong...... These people may not be good at governing the country, but they are not bad at fighting for power and profit! For the power of the people's hearts, use it better than anyone else, hehe...... One by one, they pretend to be loyal and good generals in front of me! Infighting! Buck-passing trade-offs! Fight for power! ”

Fu Shou's heart just let go of it, but he lifted it up again, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, be careful that the wall has ears......

"Hmm......" Liu Xie nodded and smiled slightly, but there was inevitably some desolation in his smile, "I am the Emperor of the Han Dynasty...... But beware that the partition wall has ears...... Hehe, hehe......"

"......" Fu Shou was silent for a while, and then said slowly, "Your Majesty...... What do we do now? ”

“…… I...... I don......'t know," Liu Xie said slowly, "but I know something......"

Liu Xie slowly put his hand on the railing of the lookout platform, and grasped it hard, and his finger joints were a little white.

"No one can be trusted...... No one! Liu Xie looked into the distance, with a bit of determination in his tone, "This big Han ...... This big man's people...... My Country...... My people...... These people can't be allowed to run amok again......"

The railing of the lookout was cold, and the coldness penetrated into his hands, Liu Xie's body trembled slightly, I don't know if it was because of the cold, or because of the hot blood churning in his body......

Fu Shou didn't say anything, just leaned his head lightly on Liu Xie's shoulder.

This year, this day.

Liu Xie's sixteenth and Fu Shou's seventeenth, the weak and small two people are interdependent......
