Wang Lang didn't know iron ore, he couldn't tell the iron ore even if he put it in front of him before, but now it's different, I didn't expect these meteorites to be magnets, with this kind of thing, as long as an expedition team is sent and a large-scale search is carried out, iron ore will definitely be found.

As long as there is iron ore, all that remains is how to smelt these things, and as long as you focus on technical problems, progress will always be made.

Wang Lang walked towards the meteorite in the eyes of the people, pulled out the iron weapon hard, was shocked in his heart, and said secretly: "It's so magnetic." ”

"Come over here, help me pull this thing down."

The crowd of onlookers looked at each other, and the fear of this unknown force made them move their legs at all.

Wang Langji'an and the others stood there stunned, and suddenly said with some dissatisfaction: "What are you doing there, come here quickly." ”

Mu Feng gritted his teeth, called a few craftsmen, and cautiously approached Wang Lang.

"It's not a miracle, twenty meteorites can absorb iron items, nothing to be afraid of." Wang Lang said slowly.

When everyone heard this, they were suspicious, held the handle of this weapon, and several people worked hard together, and it was easy to pull it down.

"See, don't be afraid of this thing, it's all normal." Wang Lang looked at the pale faces of these craftsmen and couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, how can there be such a magical thing in this world?" Mu Feng asked puzzled.

"I don't know exactly why, but I believe that the gods don't send down miracles so easily, and it doesn't make sense for you to think about miracles when you encounter something you don't understand." Wang Lang said with a smile.

Mu Feng was silent for a while and said, "Your Majesty, what are these stones?" ”

"These stones, I didn't know what they were before, but now I know, you see this weapon, it's made of something called iron, and this iron has a property, and that can be attracted to magnetic things, and this stone is a magnetic stone, I call it a magnet, and with this thing we can find iron ore." Wang Lang said with some excitement.

Wang Lang's words made everyone's sense of fear gradually disappear, and then a craftsman said: "Your Majesty, we can't dissolve this iron weapon and put it in the copper smelting furnace, but it just burns it red, and it can't be melted at all, so even if we find iron ore, we can't use it!" ”

Wang Lang chuckled: "Don't worry about this, I will deal with this matter, after I come up with the iron-making furnace, your Ministry of Industry will start to build, and when you find the iron mine, you must make every effort to study the use of iron." ”

With Wang Lang's assurance, the craftsmen immediately felt a lot more relieved, and hurriedly bowed down and said yes.

After discovering the magnet, Wang Lang immediately asked the craftsmen to process these meteorites into small pieces that were easy to carry.

Three days later, the military department was ordered to organize a new expedition, take the magnet and start looking for iron ore.

At the same time, Wang Lang also suspended the compilation of textbooks and began to devote himself to the production of iron-making blast furnaces.

He still has some clues about how to build the iron-making blast furnace, which is all due to the fact that the world, a special event in the history of China, the whole people make steel, in this regard, he has seen a lot of old photos of that era, although he has not understood the detailed construction methods, but there is still a certain impression of the appearance of those blast furnaces.

Combined with the situation of the copper furnace, it is not very difficult to make such a blast furnace.

Time passed slowly when all departments of the Xia Kingdom were developing at full speed.

Half a year later, the Ministry of Industry received good news that all the supply stations leading to the sea had been completed and the roads had been built.

When Wang Lang learned of this, he was immediately overjoyed, and urgently summoned the five Shangshu to come to discuss the matter.

After all the lamp people arrived, Wang Lang said directly: "Ministry of Works, let's talk about the matter!" ”

Mu Feng got up and said: "Your Majesty, Ladies and Gentlemen, a few days ago, our Ministry of Industry has built all the supply depots to the seaside, and the roads have been paved, so that the I attack can be put into use. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone began to talk about it, and now everyone in the high-level of the Xia Kingdom knows that there is a civilization different from human beings overseas, and they also know that this civilization may pose a threat to themselves, and this supply station is repaired, and the border of their country extends to the seaside, which can be said to be of great significance.

Wang Lang waved his hand, quieted everyone down, and said, "Everyone, I think you all know what the sea means to us, if we Xia Kingdom want to survive safely, we must strengthen the strength of the sea defense, and now that the road has been built, we should start this matter." ”

"The ministers obey His Majesty's arrangement!" The crowd replied in unison.

Wang Lang nodded and said, "Now I order the Ministry of Industry to send a large number of people to find a suitable place along the coast to build a shipyard. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, now the craftsmen have made a model of the hull, and the actual thing has not yet been built, but we already know the structure of the hull." Mu Feng replied with some embarrassment.

"It's already good to build a model, and then, your Ministry of Engineering will send people to the jungle to cut down suitable timber, and if you want to build a ship, the timber must be dried in the shade for more than three years, and during this period, you can't stop the progress of shipbuilding, regardless of the quality, first make a physical object that can be sailed." Wang Lang said slowly.

"Yes!" Mu Feng replied respectfully.

"The Book of the Army!"

"The minister is here!"

"You don't start tomorrow, arrange manpower, bring the bed crossbow that the Ministry of Industry has renovated, go to the beach to hunt those pterodactyls, if you can catch them alive, try to capture them alive, if not, kill them all, don't let these things hinder everyone's safety, bring back those pterosaur eggs, and we will hatch them." Wang Lang said solemnly.

Since there is such a large bird as a pterosaur in this world, Wang Lang naturally can't let it go, if he can skillfully control the pterodactyl, then his own tribe can even form an air force unit, and with gunpowder shells, it will definitely enhance a lot of combat power.

Lin Huo looked at Wang Lang with some embarrassment, and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to hunt down those pterodactyls, you must send a large number of people, but the armies scattered everywhere now are busy catching wild people, and there are not so many people!" ”

Wang Lang was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "It's been so long, haven't the nearby savages been captured yet?" ”
