Qin Ye went to the workshop on the bank of the Yellow River in the north of Luoyang's Pishan Mountain.

The armory workshop is built entirely near the water, using extremely advanced waterwheel power to drive the bellows, with such a power device, the bellows can be made very large.

And with the big bellows, there are huge blast furnaces.

From afar, you can see patches of workshops, countless chimneys, billowing smoke.

The scale of Dong Zhuojun's workshop is second to none in the world.

In the era of strife, the number of troops was hundreds of thousands, and it was impossible to arm such a huge army without a production system that mass-produced cold weapons.

Iron is the raw material for cold weapons, and a system that can supply steel in large quantities is indispensable. Even in later generations, steel was the most important material for the manufacture of various weapons.

Huaxia's iron-making technology has always been in the leading position in the world, which is inseparable from the continuous research and progress of various generations of famous craftsmen since ancient times.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was already possible to manufacture a high-temperature iron-making furnace of more than 1,000 degrees, so that iron could be dissolved, which was one of the keys to the steel frying technology.

In addition, the continuous improvement of bellows technology can provide sufficient oxygen to the high-temperature ironmaking furnace, you must know that without sufficient oxygen supply, the temperature will never go up.

In addition, coal replaces charcoal, and the advantage of using high-quality coal to make iron is that it can easily obtain high-temperature smelting results.

Qin Ye and Pu Xiang came to the largest workshop, which was the core of the entire workshop group, and the people who worked here were all members of the Pu family. The forging of steel is here, and the technology of steelmaking is a secret of the Pu family.

Qin Ye knew that although the technology of frying steel was advanced, the weapons made by hand of 100 steels were the best. However, it cannot be mass-produced, and if the army needs to install steel weapons on a large scale, it must be fried with steel technology.

With the arrival of Qin Ye, the Pu family people here temporarily stopped working.

This young man is Qin Ye, the general of Zhengdong who is in charge of military quarters.

I didn't expect to be so young, I look seventeen or eighteen years old.

People were very surprised by Qin Ye's youth, and under the influence of people, the famous generals of Megatron should all be the kind of elderly people with long beards.

"General Qin, what do you think of my Pu family?" Pu Xiang picked up a hammer and knocked on the freshly baked fiery red iron, and sparks flew everywhere.

"Judging from the current productivity, it is still barely qualified." Qin Ye, as a traverser, is used to seeing large-scale factories. Although the scale of this place is second to none, it is still too small in his eyes.

There were not many craftsmen who could make steel, and of course he knew that this was because the technology was a secret and did not want to pass it on to outsiders. This was the case in ancient times, and you can't forcefully open the technological blockade, which will only lose people's hearts.

"Barely qualified!" Pu Xiang smashed a hammer of iron, if his Pu family is barely qualified, there is no qualified one in the world.

This young man is so arrogant!

"So, General Qin, can you tell us about the steel frying technique?" Pu Xiang held back his anger, and everything was waiting to be clarified. If he can't come up with a reason, then Pu Xiang will definitely have a seizure.

Qin Ye nodded solemnly and said, "In this case, General Ben will pass on this profound skill to your Pu family." ”

Pu Xiang's expression became solemn for a moment.

And the people of the Pu family are churning in their hearts. What the? Frying technology. This young man has mastered the steel frying technique that my Pu family has not been able to master?

Qin Ye followed the ladder and walked to the largest blast furnace, looked at the red molten iron tumbling inside, and pointed out: "You only need to add refined iron powder and refined carbon powder to oxidize the silicon, manganese, and carbon in it, and adjust the carbon content to the range of steel." It is a successful steel frying process. ”

Silicon, manganese? What is it? The craftsmen are full of question marks.

But carbon and iron, they understood.

Pu Xiang's expression was more solemn, "My Pu family also used toner to adjust the carbon content, but I never thought of adding refined iron powder to the formula. I'll believe you for the time being, come on, go get the fine iron powder. ”

Go to the gap of the pick-up.

Pu Yuan, a younger generation, couldn't help but ask: "General, what are silicon and manganese?" ”

Qin Ye smiled slightly, "This is the name of the impurity ingredient you are talking about. ”

The craftsmen couldn't hide their inner surprise, in the long history of thousands of years, the craftsmen only knew impurities. But this general actually knew that it was called silicon and manganese! It's astonishing.

Pu Xiang is more concerned about the issue of steelmaking technology, "Is it really simple? Do you only need to add one more kind of refined iron powder? ”

With the refined iron powder taken, Pu was quite benevolent, took the toner powder, iron powder, and weighed each of them.

And he poured it into the iron-making furnace with his own hands.

Crashing~.

The temperature in the furnace rose to a higher temperature, and the molten iron was boiling like lava.

Pu Xiang looked at it fixedly, and suddenly became angry, "It's not made of steel!" ”

Zhang Liao, who came here with Qin Ye, was dissatisfied: "Master Pu, this hasn't cooled down at all, how do you know that it's not steel?" ”

Pu Yuan on the side said: "With my uncle's fifty years of eyesight, whether it is molten steel or molten iron, you don't need to cool it at all." ”

Pu Xiang said coldly: "General Qin, what do you say? It seems that you are just talking about it, and you treat my Pu family like this, and it will be spread out, which will damage your prestige. ”

In fact, Qin Ye had always been apprehensive in his heart, but after he saw the flaw with the Supreme Law Eye, he breathed a sigh of relief. This Supreme Dharma Eye is really powerful, and the previous discussion of frying steel is invisible, and I can't see the flaws. Now that it is tangible, the flaws can be seen.

Qin Ye's old god was saying, "The weight of this furnace of molten iron was added too much just now. You don't ask me how much to add or subtract, just add it so confidently. He is really a famous craftsman. ”

Pu Xiang's face suddenly turned red, he had studied this technology for decades. As the most qualified craftsman in the world, after hearing the new formula, he naturally centered on his own ideas and added it. I didn't expect it, but it didn't work out.

"Besides, your method is not good, I will add it myself next time." Qin Ye nodded.

"What, I can't do it?" Pu Xiang didn't know what to say.

The craftsmen are all dissatisfied, there are thousands of blacksmiths in the world, and no one dares to say this. Pu Xiang's technique is recognized as the first in the blacksmith world.

Pu Xiang took a deep breath and said, "Then, please ask General Qin to add it." ”

"This furnace of molten iron has been scrapped by you, so replace it with the furnace next to it." After Qin Ye finished speaking, he walked down the staircase.

Pu Xiang trembled, for many years, he had never scrapped even one or two irons. But when he arrived at Qin Ye, he was wasted hundreds of catties.

Pu Xiang was really unconvinced, especially since the other party was only a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy. In the Pu family, such a teenager is just an apprentice.
