CHAPTER XXXVI
Chinese In the past two years, Shaofu has collected various subway mines again and again, and tried the converter again and again, but it has not succeeded. Last month, the Hou suddenly came to report that the Jingren converter trial was successful, and the secret was not in the ore, but in the furnace body, so Shaofu hurriedly built a large converter that was twice as large as before. Previously, the king didn't care about Shaofu smelting, but recently he asked about Ju Iron almost every day, so on the day of the furnace smelting, Gong Gong specially invited the king to come to Shaofu to have a look.
Zhao attacked Yan, and Yan sent the prince Yan Dan to ask for help, and offered Yan Guo's iron art for this purpose. Probably because he was worried that the Qin State would succeed in refining it with other methods, and the craftsmen of the Yan State would not be valued by the Qin State, so Yan Dan had the previous advances.
Yan Dan's thoughts Zhao Zheng may or may not understand, but no matter what happened before, Zhao Zheng, who was enthroned as king, did not like this companion who played together in Handan Quality Palace as a child. Saving Yan was not because Zhao Zheng liked Yan State, but to prevent Zhao State from gaining the land of Yan State and becoming a fierce rival of Qin State again. Zhao Zheng is like this, and Yan Dan, who has been in Qin for a long time, also found more and more that Zhao Zheng was indifferent to him, but he didn't understand where he offended Zhao Zheng when he wanted to break his head.
"Under the feet of the eldest son, Jing Guo is really so refined?" The craftsmen and craftsmen under the empty corridor were busy, and Hu Tanshaozhi asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Yan Dan didn't look at him, only looked at the converter under the corridor. "However, the Jing National Treasure Knife is unparalleled in the world, it is the path treasure knife you sold, and it is not as good as the Jing National Treasure Knife, so it naturally has its secret technique."
Hu Tansuo Zhi is not a Yan national engineer, but a Yue's businessman. Jade, treasure knives, colored glass, and good horses are all the goods he sold to Yan and Zhao, but unfortunately, as soon as the Jing National Treasure Knife came out, his few Path Treasure Knives worth hundreds of gold were not cared for. And the treasure knives that were originally sold from west to east also began to be sold from east to west - not all of the 2,000 treasure knives exchanged for millions of stone millets in Yan Kingdom were used for their own use, and a small half of them were sold to Hu Shang at several times or ten times the price.
With his and his people's perception of the whole world, it has always been the East people who buy the weapons of the Westerners, and there has never been a precedent for the Westers to buy the weapons of the Easterners. The appearance of the Jing National Treasure Knife subverted this perception, and after hearing the news, all the people of Sogdiana flocked to the east, intending to develop the Jing National Treasure Knife into a business like lazuli. It's just that the Qin people's method of refining is simply unheard of.
Hu Tanshao laughed, the six iron-making furnaces outside the house had poked open the slag and began to discharge the molten iron into the wrought iron ditch, and as soon as the red molten iron flowed into the house, everyone could feel a burst of scorching heat. Fortunately, the empty corridor was thirty or forty steps away from the converter, and this burning only made people sweat more on their foreheads, and there was no other discomfort. Zhao Zheng didn't care about the beads of sweat on his forehead, his eyes passed through the air distorted by the high temperature, and he stared closely at the furnace body containing molten iron.
"The furnace is full." The eight-foot square converter was filled with molten iron in a few moments, and the furnace seat finally stopped shaking slightly, and the craftsmen dodged everywhere, especially from the place where the furnace mouth was spewing fire.
"Bold!" The drums beat at this moment, and along with the drums, the three shirtless armor soldiers outside the house began to push three one-foot high air bags. The air bag retracted, and as soon as the air came into contact with the hot molten iron from the bottom of the furnace, the converter exploded and trembled, and with a 'bang', the dark brown tongue of fire with thick smoke erupted from the mouth of the furnace for several feet, startling everyone in the empty corridor.
"Ahh Zhao Zheng exclaimed, his body was like a furnace body, and he trembled uncontrollably. Yan Dan also exclaimed, looking at this hellish scene with his mouth open. Hu Tansuozhi was even more stunned, he had never seen or heard of anyone smelting iron in such a way. He had to pray in his heart: O great eternal God! Are you burning those iron stones with the power of light?
As the wind blows, the furnace mouth keeps spraying flames, and gradually, the color of the flame becomes whiter and wider, and the smoke gradually disappears. It's just that the house is covered with smoke and dust, Zhao Zheng coughed unconsciously, and the temple people next to him hurriedly handed over the prepared wet towel.
Although the craftsmen of Shaofu and Yue Wei did not understand the principle of converter steelmaking, they still accumulated countless experience under nearly 100 trials. They know that once the blowing is too much, a furnace of wrought iron will be smelted, and if the blowing is too short, it will be smelted into a furnace of evil iron, and only when the flame becomes whiter and shorter, and the sparks are gradually decreasing, can good iron be refined.
"Stop the wind!" Yue Kui jumped out and shouted, he who knows some fur, his status in Shaofu is not low.
"Stop the wind!" The drumming stopped, and the panting armor outside the house finally stopped, and in less than a quarter of an hour of blowing, their lungs turned into air sacs, and everyone was snorting and panting.
"Tell the engineer, the furnace will not collapse." The blast stopped, and the smoke from the furnace disappeared. However, in the past, the furnace burst and the molten iron overflowed the entire shed, but this time a miracle happened, and the converter did not collapse. Of course, it is a good thing that the converter did not collapse, but then the molten iron in the furnace cannot come out. When Yue Kui scratched his ears and cheeks, Zhao Zheng on the empty corridor asked, "Is Ju Tie Cheng?" ”
"The king, the iron should be regarded as a great iron." At this time, Sima Chang also knew that Yue Kui had encountered a problem: the converter would not collapse, and the molten iron would not come out. "The more carp, the king wants to see the iron." Sima Chang shouted on the empty corridor, "Quickly pour out the molten iron." ”
After experiencing the collapse of the converter too many times, he had forgotten that the converter could be poured molten iron, and Sima Chang woke up the dreamer with a word, and he hurriedly instructed the craftsman to shake the converter and fall out of the molten iron.
In the sound of iron chains, ......the wrought iron chains on the outside of the converter were tightened little by little, and the iron bars and wooden beams supporting the converter furnace body were pulled away one by one. The iron chain tied to the wrought iron ring at the lower part of the converter began to pull up vigorously, the furnace body trembled, and the molten iron rippled, but the furnace body did not tilt half a minute. The sweaty Yue Kui saw Sima Chang on the empty corridor waving at him anxiously again, and he turned to those Li Fu craftsmen and shouted: "Hurry up!" Add to the disease! Add to the disease! ”
Yue Kun shouted anxiously, and the craftsman used all his strength, and this time the converter finally tilted, and the molten iron was about to come out. Sima Chang on the empty corridor pointed to the converter and said with great joy: "King, the iron is also out." ”
Before the word "Great Benevolence ......" Zhao Zhengshan was exported, the converter suddenly made a rumbling sound, and the furnace body was constantly shaking. This is the iron oxide accumulated in the furnace and the unburned carbon in the molten iron react violently because of the shaking of the furnace, and everyone has no time to speak, so they listen to the 'boom——! With a loud bang, the furnace body was torn apart like paper, and more than 1,400 degrees of red and white molten iron broke through the roof at the same time, and swept the whole venue like a torrential rain. The Yue Carp, who was commanding under the furnace, was the first to be shot, and the molten iron sprayed on the left side of his body, his flesh melting at a visible speed, and he was still smiling on the right side of his face when he fell to the ground. After him, all the craftsmen around the converter were splashed with molten iron, and the screams of ghosts and wolves suddenly sounded, and half of them died in an instant.
Under the corridor, Zhao Zheng and the others standing on the empty corridor didn't have time to blink, and the hot iron came by surprise. Everyone was stunned, and the only person who reacted was Zhao Gao beside Zhao Zheng, but unfortunately he only blocked half of Zhao Zheng's body, and the other half of his body was still exposed.
"Ahh......h Yan Wuyi also shouted, and he rubbed his fleshy cheeks vigorously; Yan Dan was also hit by the flying molten iron, but fortunately he only had his left arm......
"The King." A piece of molten iron splashed on Zhao Gao's back, he didn't shout, and only looked at Zhao Zheng who was trembling in his pale face.
"Hmm. Well. Zhao Zheng didn't shout, but he trembled because of the severe pain, he only hummed twice, and then closed his eyes and fell down.
"Great, great!" Zhao Gao shouted while hugging Zhao Zheng. Because of the bruise on his back, his shouting was completely out of tune, like the condensation of a dying man, but fortunately, everyone had turned around and found Zhao Zheng who had fainted.
"Summoning the Imperial Doctor, Summoning the Imperial Doctor!!" The screams overshadowed the howl of the ghost crying wolf, and Zhao Zheng was carried out by the attendants.
"Uncle Ji." In Huayang Palace, Mi Xuan looked at Changping Jun Xiong Qi, who came to ask for peace to the Empress Dowager Mi Jian, and when she heard Mi Jian's cough, she had to restrain her smile, like an ordinary maid to Xiong Qi to serve tea.
"I've seen my aunt, how is my aunt doing today?" Xiong Qi looked at Mi Xuan and smiled. He remembered that a few months ago, Mi Xuan still had to die or live, and when he heard that Wang Di Wei was not killed, the whole person came back to life like a fish in water.
"Shang An." Thorn pretended not to see the smile between them, and replied softly. After Mi Xuan retreated, he said, "You came today to fight Chu?" ”
"Yes." Xiong Qi nodded heavily, "The Qin State will fight each other with the whole country's troops, and the mother country will not be supported, and the nephew will ask his aunt to persuade the king." ”
"What's the use of persuasion?" After learning of Yang Wenjun's death, Mi Thorn aged by more than ten years overnight. She only wanted to sacrifice one Xiong Jing to ensure the safety of the entire Chu State, but she didn't expect Xiong Jing to not die. "That shaft will not die, and the king will not stop cutting himself."
"Auntie, Brother Wang is not at fault." Xiong Qi had to say something, and the thorn who heard this furrowed his brows.
"Is there no fault with the shaft?" Thorn sneered. "Qin is the overlord of the world, even if he has beautiful jade, he should hide it. He is still brave and faithful, but he does not know that today people are deceitful and deceitful, and there is no definite friendship between countries. Back then, Song Xianggong didn't attack half-crossing, and the Song people were not so pedantic, how could the Song Kingdom die? ”
"My aunt's words are good, but does my aunt want me to cheat?" Xiong Qi was stunned when he asked. She herself once complained that everyone in the Qin Palace was treacherous and inferior to the Chu people. "Aunt and nephew think that Yongxin is the right way to govern the country, and the younger brother of the king pardons the old man's sin of not being diligent to the king, and there is no civil strife in the mother country. If the Qin army can not be defeated, the country will be strong in time. ”
"It is precisely because the mother country will be strong that the king will cut it down. Since the shaft is not dead, let's lose the ground, and I will persuade ...... after the loss" The tone of the thorn came with a lot of helplessness, and before she finished speaking, she saw Shang Wu stumbling in.
