Chapter 440

After a full cup of tea, Lao Liu Tou slowly picked up one of the heavy metal ingots, and after carefully identifying it for a long time, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face. "Steel ...... It's really steel, and it's the best steel! ”

The crowd was in an uproar, and several craftsmen howled there in the voice of their father and mother's remarriage, shouting steel and steel.

"It's really steel, and it's a very good quality steel, oh my God...... Champion Gong, oh no, you are like a living immortal, and you can actually make fine steel from direct pig iron......"

Wang Yang also picked up one of the steel ingots weighing about two catties at this time, and after thinking about it, he asked someone to bring a piece of wrought iron, and then scratched the surface of the wrought iron sheet hard, and sure enough, a bright scratch was scratched.

"Sure enough, it's the best steel, my God, sir, you've succeeded again, you can actually make steel without frying, without filling, this ...... It's a miracle......" Zhao Ji has already begun to say something.

He really didn't know what to say, looking at this piece of steel that could scratch a scratch on the wrought iron with a corner, it would be very sharp if it were made into a sword.

"It's a pity, such a fine steel, if you want to forge it into a sword, it's not easy, after all, this shape is ......" The old blacksmith Chen paused with a regretful face.

“…… I said Lao Chen, what crazy are you talking about, with these treasures, what kind of sword and sword? Boss Wu's mouth was trembling, and he stretched out his hand to cover his heart, for fear that his old heart would not be able to bear such a surprise.

"Steel, these are the best steel, the old and fried steel for a lifetime, can fry three or five times a year such a good steel can laugh, I didn't expect the champion to directly refine the steel, if you don't see it with your own eyes, even if it is someone else, I am afraid that I will not believe it."

"Champion Gong, otherwise, you point out the old man, the old man wants to try the furnace himself to see if he can also directly refine the steel......

Seeing this old Liu Tou who was looking at him with blank eyes, Wang Yang naturally nodded. "Of course, this is no problem, and when the time comes, not only you, Lao Liutou, but also all the old craftsmen who have signed a long-term contract in our workshop, will have to learn how to make steel with tongs......"

When Wang Yang said this, he glanced at the shopkeeper Wu, and the shopkeeper Wu immediately understood. "Of course, masters, as long as you work hard, the more good steel our workshop produces in the future, the more rewards you will get."

After hearing the shopkeeper Wu, those old craftsmen couldn't help but be moved.

"What does the shopkeeper say, if you can work for the champion, a fool will leave, right?" One of the old craftsmen said loudly.

Suddenly, a group of people joined in, Wang Yang looked at these energetic old craftsmen, and his heart couldn't help but be full of emotion, hmm...... I can't imagine how I, a talented man from Qinglou, now have the feeling of changing my identity and changing my job to a steel genius.

According to Wang Yang's practice, a furnace of molten steel was produced again, and the quality of this furnace molten steel was also very good, and this time, because of the preparation in advance, it was no longer a rectangular steel ingot, but a steel sheet about three feet long with a thickness of no more than one finger, or a steel plate.

The enthusiastic old craftsmen did not mean to stop, but continued to practice three furnaces before stopping.

Because it is an experimental blast furnace and steelmaking, each furnace has more than ten catties of molten steel, but the steel ingots and steel plates cast by the molten steel of the whole four furnaces have proved that the success rate of this clamp pot steelmaking method can reach 100%.

"In the last furnace, I waited almost a third more than the previous time, so the steel I got seems to be more elastic than steel, but it seems to be ......tougher than soft steel."

"Hmm...... It seems that if we add another third of the time of the pillar of incense, we should be able to refine the kind of soft steel that we usually fry. ”

For the next two days, Wang Yang squatted there, because many of the wonderful ideas in his mind were not over, such as how to make springs from high-carbon steel, and various wear-resistant parts.

Of course, it is indispensable to make a batch of various wear-resistant parts suitable for the needs of hydraulic machinery, and it is indispensable to let the old blacksmith make a few excellent treasure knives.

Wang Yang remembered that mild steel was also a very good material, and it seemed that in the scientific discourse of later generations, the ancient cold-forged armor seemed to use soft steel.

And mild steel is the most durable ......

Wang Yang's pair of cold-wrought iron armor from the treasures in the Duanwang Mansion was blue, and there was only one protrusion in each piece of armor, and it could be seen that the thickness there was more than twice the thickness of the armor.

In other words, the historical record of the Western Xia monkeys, well...... That's right, the cold-forged armor worn by the monkeys of Western Xia has indeed reached a thickness that is two-thirds less than the original thickness.

In this way, the impurities in its armor can be greatly reduced, and in addition, the defense power of this armor forged by cold forging under a thousand hammers exceeds that of the iron armor of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Sir, when are we going to offer these treasures to the official family? I've been here for almost ten days, and the stainless steel sword and sword that should have been built have been made, and the two officials of the Ministry of Industry have also recorded all the processes...... "Zhao Ji yawned bigly, sat up from the couch, and glanced at the time, well, this afternoon nap is really comfortable.

"Don't worry, we're still short of this, as long as we add this, it's perfect." Wang Yang's big hand stroked the protrusion of the caribly armor. "Let's go, let's go find that old Chen and ask him to help do something."

"Lao Chen, I've really worked hard for you these past few days, but now it looks like I'm afraid I have to continue to work hard for you." Wang Yang found the old blacksmith Chen, who was resting, directing his disciples to pound the sword there.

"Champion Gong, what do you want Lao Chen to do, you just say a word, what hard work can you have."

"I need your help to forge a pair of armor." Wang Yang looked at Old Blacksmith Chen with a smile and said.

Old Blacksmith Chen's expression instantly seemed like he was just swallowing a delicacy, and suddenly found that his mouth full of delicious horns had turned into a shit smell.

"What, is there something wrong with what I said?" Wang Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows with some curiosity and asked.

Zhao Ji, who had never left or right beside him, gently poked Wang Yang. "Sir, privately casting armor is a great crime of 100 rods, a fine of 10,000 yuan, and 3,000 miles."

"Please, I'm not here to dress and play by myself, I'm not trying to design a kind of excellent armor for our Great Song that is both light and very tough, and the important thing is that the protection will definitely not be inferior to the armor of the monkeys in the Western Xia."

"Sir, you're saying you've found a way?" Zhao Ji finally thought of one thing, it seems that he has been busy here with Wang Yang these days, and he is dizzy, focus, focus. The point is that Wang Yang once told the Son of Heaven that he would definitely be able to make a Great Song Dynasty fine armor that was no less than the Xixia Qizi Armor.

"Now you've finally figured it out, right?" Wang Yang saw Zhao Ji's suddenly realized look, and couldn't help but say proudly. "Now, it's finally time for everything to be ready, and all we have to do is owe the east wind."
