At the end of the Shen period, a long and full thirty carriages drove into the peaceful and calm town of Qinghe.

The huge momentum immediately caused a sensation in the entire Qinghe Town, and countless people rushed over from all directions to watch.

Liu Po and the three pavilion chiefs in the town with a few of their subordinates were also alarmed, and they rode up on horseback with weapons and weapons like facing a great enemy, but soon they all dismounted with surprised faces to greet them.

Chen Xu rode a high-headed horse and walked in the front, surrounded by Wang Wu and Wang Qi, two burly and fierce guards, with a big sword at his waist and not squinting, next to Chen Xu, followed by two neatly dressed young men, Zhao Qing and the leader of the Shui family who escorted the goods, all of them looked radiant.

"Ridian, this ...... What are so many wagons carrying? Liu Po asked with a surprised face.

No wonder he was surprised, in fact, the whole Qinghe Town was surprised to see the excitement, and the entire remote town has almost never been so lively.

Chen Xu jumped off the horse and said: "It's not a valuable thing, hurry up and help arrange for people to unload the goods, copper, iron, coal and stone these things are all taken to the blacksmith shop and handed over to the hemp pole, let him find a place to pile them up first, the wool will be transported to the paper mill, the tea tree fruit will be transported to the sugar and wine workshop and handed over to the reed root, put it under the grass shed and don't get wet, and the others will go to the grain warehouse, by the way, there is still a patient in the car, let Xu Yuan go to the health center to take care of it......"

With Chen Xu's series of arrangements, Liu Po and several pavilion chiefs, as well as Niu Quan and others, also commanded the villagers to start busy, and more than 30 cars were quickly diverted to various places, people shouted dogs and horses neighed, and it seemed that suddenly, the entire peaceful Qinghe Town instantly became lively and noisy.

After being busy for more than half an hour, all the goods were unloaded and placed, Chen Xu was not at ease, and rode back and forth to inspect it, and found that there was no big problem, so he arranged for all the coachmen and accompanying guards to go to the primary school canteen to drink water and eat, and it was getting late, and it was probably a mess to rush back to Pheasant County, so Chen Xu asked Liu Po and other big families in the town to vacate the room and arrange for everyone to rest, and they were busy until it was completely dark before they rested and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Chen Lidian, why are you letting people collect so much copper and iron? Nowadays, there are many copper and iron workshops in Nanyang County, and if you want to use copper and iron, you can buy it anywhere, so why bother? Sitting in the room drinking tea and resting, Wang Wu asked puzzled.

"I'm going to use it to make iron, a different kind of iron!" Chen Xu explained while drinking tea.

"A different kind of iron?" Wang Wu and Wang Qi were full of doubts.

"Yes, iron tools are harder than bronze tools, and they are also cheaper, if I succeed in refining, whether it is a weapon or a farm tool, my Daqin will be popularized and promoted on a large scale!" Chen Xu nodded.

"Iron is indeed cheaper, but although iron weapons are hard enough, they are not strong, and it is reluctant to make agricultural tools, and it is impossible to make weapons, and it is easy to break!" Wang Qi shook his head repeatedly.

"Who said that iron weapons are not strong, you two have seen the endless iron sword, but it is much stronger than your copper sword!" Chen Xu said lightly.

"This is true, but Brother Yu's sword is forged and cast by meteorite iron outside the sky, and it is not the same as the gold and bronze in the mortal world, the ancient dragon abyss sword is cast by meteoric iron, which is extremely sharp, but meteorite is extremely rare, how can it be widely used?" Wang Wu couldn't help but say.

"Hehe, if I use ordinary iron and stone to refine fine iron comparable to meteoric iron, will I be able to create a blade comparable to the meteoric iron sword?" Chen Xu said with a smile.

"No way!" Wang Wu and Wang Qi shook their heads together.

"Chen Lidian, this iron has been used for hundreds of years, but all craftsmen and sword casting masters say that iron can not be a soldier, fragile and perishable, only this gold and copper is the best sword casting material, the original Yue people Ou Yezi in Zhan Lu Mountain lasted three years, cast the sharp Zhan Lu sword, the material is the gold and copper, its life cast five peerless famous sword Zhan Lu, Juque, victory evil, fish intestines, pure Jun are all copper and tin smelting, and now the method of copper smelting is no different, Longquan sword is made of fine iron, but it is just a legend, The world has never seen it, otherwise why would it not be seen again until now? In order to confirm his statement, Wang Wu brought out the legendary sword-casting originator Ou Yezi.

Chen Xu is too lazy to continue to talk about this nonsense topic, as the saying goes, hearing is believing, he must refine the steel, and then make a unique sword today, in order to convince them, and this sword will also become his first gift to Qin Shi Huang Qin Da, because Qin Shi Huang, a majestic and strategic figure, in addition to immortality, is definitely not convincing by flickering, and the Fang family warlock who fooled him with immortality was either killed or buried in the end, Otherwise, like Xu Fu, he would not dare to return to Daqin, and he would never return to overseas from then on.

Chen Xu naturally won't and dare not take out the excuse of immortality, this is the only way to find death.

But Qin Shi Huang, as an emperor through the ages, did not just want to live forever, even when he was about to die, he still scared Baiyue down, and drove the Xiongnu out of more than 700 forces, and did not dare to go south for decades, and even Sang Hongyang exaggerated that the Xiongnu did not dare to look south for more than ten years, it can be seen how miserable the Xiongnu were beaten in that war, and the courage was completely crushed, even the year before Qin Shi Huang's death, that is, in 211 BC, he also ordered the migration of 30,000 families of prisoners and civilians from the Central Plains to the north. According to his idea, it will be a few years to completely recover Hebei from the Xiongnu Gang, but it is a pity that it is a pity...... Died a little too early.

Originally, Liu Bang wanted to prove that he was more bullish than Qin Shi Huang after establishing the Han Dynasty, so he led the army and the Xiongnu just a fight, but was trapped in Baideng City and almost wiped out the whole army, or escaped by bribery, if Liu Bang died in Baideng at that time, I am afraid that the newly established Han will collapse again in an instant, Guozuo is shorter than the Great Qin, becoming the shortest-lived dynasty in Chinese history, as for the subsequent trend can guess a rough, that is, the more than ten princes and kings of the Han Dynasty will fight again to determine the overlord of China, Repeating the history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chinese with only about 10 million left continued to decline sharply, and was finally trampled by the powerful Xiongnu......

This scene is simply incomprehensible, very cruel and very realistic.

The next day, Chen Xu hurried home early to report his safety, brought some rice and candy to Zhao Qing's subordinates, asked him to bring them back to Zhao Qing to express his gratitude, and at the same time gave the leader of the caravan of the Shui family more than ten bottles of wine and vinegar, and asked him to bring it to the head of the family, Shui Hong, to express his gratitude.

After sending off the two groups of people, Chen Xu began to arrange the next things with his heart.

First of all, there are two large carts of wool, this time the quality is relatively high, almost all of them are fine and soft wool, and I don't know where Zhao Qing collected it in just one month, of course, with the last processing experience, Chen Xu directly handed over to a few villagers who handled the wool last time, and assigned one of them to be specifically responsible for handling the wool, and then found all the women who could spin yarn in the town to spin all the wool, and at the same time asked You to choose three ingenious young women to send them to Xiaohe Village to learn to weave wool with their mother Chen Jiang, After learning it, he taught women to knit sweaters, sweaters, pants, hats, scarves, gloves and so on in Qinghe Town.

Then there is ironmaking, ironmaking is more complicated, you need to make a special furnace, because there is clay in the town, plus you can get a car of graphite, you can build an experimental crucible furnace, plus with coal, you can easily break through the current temperature limit to more than 1,200 degrees, there is no problem with melting pig iron, but it is still very difficult to decarburize the slag, ironmaking has been very popular in the Han Dynasty not long after, it seems to be fried steel, as for how to fry it...... Chen Xu pinched his chin and frowned and thought about it for a long time without thinking clearly, but since there is a fried word, it is estimated that it ...... It's similar to stir-frying, put some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar...... Well, the material of decarburization and slag making, as for what it is, we still need to think about it.

I hate less when the book is used!

Chen Xu felt the poverty of his knowledge again, other crossing pig's feet were either making gunpowder or making steel and glass, one by one slipping away as if they were playing, how could it be his turn to cross, when he wanted to make steel, he didn't know anything.

Chen Xu was so depressed that he almost took off a layer of skin on his chin, but this kind of problem involving professional knowledge, he could only think slowly, anyway, it will take more than ten days to build an iron-making furnace, first of all, it is necessary to fire a batch of refractory clay bricks, and then make a special furnace, and make a crucible with graphite and clay, and iron-making and steelmaking still have to continuously send a large amount of hot oxygen to it......

Nima drops a gourd scoop, it's so complicated!

Chen Xu instantly felt that he was not too sure, and he didn't know if he could really refine the steel that was suitable for forging.

But no matter what, these things had to be arranged and done slowly, so he gathered the blacksmith Ma Gong, the potter Gao He, the carpenter Liu Erwa, and the stonemason Liu Da'an several craftsmen from Qinghe Town, and after saying their requirements, let them work together to discuss the construction of the earth-based steelmaking furnace they wanted.

Because it is an experimental nature, this furnace does not require a lot of steel, as long as it can smelt about 20 catties of iron at a time.

Chen Xu drew the prototype of a steelmaking furnace according to his own ideas, which is a simple furnace, with a coal-burning earthen stove below, a semi-closed furnace above, in which a crucible can be placed, and the furnace has a blast channel connected to the bellows for transporting oxygen to it, but a bellows does not seem to be enough, and the coal furnace also needs a bellows to increase the firepower......

It took more than an hour, and the four craftsmen almost completely understood Chen Xu's thoughts, and then went to the blacksmith shop to investigate and design the site together.

Although the bellows carpenter Liu Erwa has never seen it, Chen Xu drew a simple diagram with drawings, the principle is the same as the pump, but it still takes a lot of effort to design, after all, this is a brand new equipment, not to mention that I have never heard of it, but Liu Erwa said that the problem is not big after hearing it, the only difficulty is the flap of the air inlet, but it is not very complicated, because this is a bellows is not a water gun, it does not need to be completely sealed, and it can continue to supply air.

As for the crucible, Chen Xu has never seen or done it, but Chen Xu knows that it can be mixed with graphite and clay to form the shape of an open clay pot like making pottery, and graphite is a very good thermal conductive material, the higher the graphite content, the better the thermal conductivity, but the less strong, so it needs to be mixed with clay to not be easy to break, Chen Xu only talked about this problem roughly, let the stonemason and the potter discuss it, as for the refractory bricks, just make the pottery bricks of the pottery workshop.
