Chapter 447

"Yu Niangniang, since ancient times, the art of smelting, has always been only to obtain pig iron, and then after the method of frying iron or filling steel, you can get wrought iron or a small amount of steel, I have never heard of it, you can directly use pig iron and iron ore to smelt steel......"

"It's too much, too shocking to the minister." The person in charge of the ordnance supervisor looked at Wang Yang who was standing in the middle of the field with a steel plate and smiling and groaning with a face of disbelief, if it weren't for the fact that this guy's winning rate was too high, the person in charge would have wanted to scare Wang Yang if he was bragging.

"This lord, it's normal for you to have such thoughts, before Xia Guan developed this Yuan Yu Steel Technique, it was indeed almost impossible to smelt steel. However, with this Yuanyou steel-smelting technique, for Xiaguan, whether you want hard steel or soft steel, Xiaguan has a way to directly smelt it......"

Suddenly, the court ministers, who more or less had some basic knowledge of smelting, couldn't help but be in a collective uproar. Especially those generals who like to play with swords and swords, they are even more excited to jump to Wang Yang to ask whether this thing is real or fake.

Not to mention those people, even Zhao Xu, who was full of confidence in Wang Yang, felt a little trembling, mainly because the news was too amazing.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am willing to testify for Lord Wang, and what he said is true, because Xiao Wang has been following Lord Wang's side these days, and I have seen with my own eyes how Lord Wang has been thinking about it day and night, and trying to improve the method of bituminous coal and iron smelting in my Great Song Dynasty for a hundred years.

Moreover, it really only needs to use pig iron and iron ore powder to smelt high-carbon steel according to the needs, which is what we used to call stainless steel, or low-carbon steel, which is what we used to call soft steel......"

And the two green-robed officials of the Ordnance Prison also jumped out, excitedly willing to use their heads as a guarantee, Wang Dacai has indeed invented incredible smelting and coking technology, and the steel smelting of the Great Song Dynasty will definitely go to a new level in the future.

With Zhao Ji, Wang Yang's loyal fan, here to cheer for him, and the two ordnance supervision officials are willing to use their lives as a guarantee, there are fewer and fewer people who really have doubts.

After squeezing the heavy and shiny steel sheet in his hand, Zhao Xu's eyes swept away. "These are the steels that are smelted directly from pig iron and iron ore powder? Hu Yanqing's family, Yang Qing's family, and Pan Qing's family, you all came to see if this was a good steel. ”

These warriors couldn't bear it for a long time, and when they heard this, they walked quickly to the big wooden box, and took out heavy pieces of steel from there, and their eyes couldn't help but shine.

"This, this seems to be really directly smelted, you see this, there is no such thing as the kind of steel frying or steel filling that you have seen in the past......"

"This is amazing, this little Wang, are you really directly smelted from pig iron and that iron ore?"

"This is natural, how dare Xia Guan joke on such a question." Wang Yang replied confidently.

The other ministers, though embarrassed to come forward, stretched their necks with all their might, and whispered to each other.

The eunuch took two pieces of coke and a piece of stainless steel, and then respectfully sent them to the back of the curtain and handed them to the empress dowager for appreciation.

After looking at it a few times, Gao Tao didn't understand, but after listening to the discussions of those courtiers, it seemed that if what Wang Yang said was true, it seemed that he had really done a few quite remarkable things.

At this time, Zhao Xu pointed to another unopened box and asked Wang Yang. "Wushan, things ...... here"

"Your Majesty, here, it is His Royal Highness Weichen and Duanwang, as well as these two officials of the Ordnance Prison, as well as nearly fifty skilled craftsmen, who spent less than ten days to develop the strongest and lightest Great Song Yuan You Armor of my Great Song Dynasty." Wang Yang nodded to the two forbidden soldiers who were still guarding the box, and then announced loudly.

"Great Song Yuan Youjia? …… This name is really much more imposing than that of the Xixia Monkey Jia. Hearing this, Gao Tao's white eyebrows couldn't help but raise his mouth and speak.

At this time, one of the forbidden soldiers took out a helmet and a pair of iron combat boots from the box, while the other took out the cuirplate worn on his upper body.

Seeing the silver light and the very dazzling breastplate, Zhao Xu and the civil and military officers in the hall couldn't help but subconsciously squint their eyes slightly.

"Hey, this ...... This is our Great Song Yuan Youjia? Zhao Xu looked at the bright and shining silver helmet, as well as the same silver breastplate, his eyes were amazingly bright.

"Why is this piece so big, aren't you afraid of damage?" The seventy-year-old Lord Huyan couldn't help but step forward and flick the breastplate with his fingers, only to hear a metallic sound in the hall.

"This old man, this Great Song Yuan Yu armor not only surpasses the Xixia Qizi armor in terms of defensive power, but also its total weight is only more than fifty catties."

“…… It can't be, right? The lightest full-body armor of my Great Song Dynasty must be at least 60 catties or more to resist the shots of two stone hard bows, and the heaviest spearman infantry armor weighs more than 70 catties. The full weight of the Xixia Monkey Armor is also about sixty catties, and you actually say that the defensive power of your iron armor is better than that of the Western Xia Armor? The old generals looked at Wang Yang in front of them with a kind of neurotic gaze.

"If you old generals don't believe it, you can take it and find out." Wang Yang didn't care about the eyes of these old guys at all, and continued to say with an extremely confident look.

"I have a few pairs of Xixia Monkey Armor in my collection, but I can try it, Ma Shang, you quickly take someone to bring all the Western Xia Armor I have hidden." Zhao Xu's eyes lit up, and he really wanted to give it a try to see which one was stronger in armor-making technology.

Seeing that Zhao Xu sent someone to fetch the Tibetan armor in the palace, these old generals had nothing to say at this moment, and everyone could only wait and see.

But at this time, Zhao Ji reached into the box again and took out two steel plates. "Old generals, please see, this piece is the armor piece that has not been forged, and this piece is the armor piece after forging, you old generals can take a good look at it......

The Secretary of Ordnance couldn't bear it anymore at this time, so he simply walked over, and after taking a fixed look, he couldn't help but gasp. "That's a two-thirds reduction in thickness, and it seems to be more than that."

"How is this possible...... But in ten days, how can you make armor so quickly? ”

"My lord doesn't believe it, then please take a look at these pieces of armor, we are worried that some people will think that we are talking nonsense, so we specially forged only half of these pieces of armor, and the other half of the thickness and the thickness that has been forged are stored on this piece of armor, so that it is more intuitive......" Zhao Ji, the little prince of Dese, couldn't help but reach into the box and took out another piece of armor that was forged on half side, and half of it still maintained its original thickness.

“…… This, such a huge hammer mark, what kind of strong man can use this......" General Huyan couldn't help but take a breath and asked.
