The soldiers of the Zhao army were stunned, what they saw and heard along the way made them suffer from not being able to speak, especially the clothes of those Qin civilians were very different from their clothes. This disparity makes it difficult for them to talk. In particular, there is also the issue of the history of war between the two countries. But here it is different. Everyone is a soldier, and there is a common relationship between a soldier and a soldier. Don't look at people who have beautiful military uniforms. But the kind of generous relationship between soldiers is not something that military uniforms can estrange.

There will always be common topics among military personnel. Especially when it comes to alliances. They talk first and foremost about their own enemies. With a common enemy, the subtle estrangement between the two countries disappears without a trace. And with that ease comes that ease.

"What are you a soldier for? Isn't it just for that little salary? "Sergeants are veterans. Veterans know how to mix in the barracks.

"Military pay?" The soldiers asked.

"That's right. We all have to pay to work. The sergeant said.

"Oh. We never pay our soldiers. We're just going to take care of one meal. The soldiers of the Zhao army immediately complained. The most feared thing in the world is that there is a comparison object. Because of the comparison, we know that the backward and the advanced.

"It's just that we've always been in charge of food. Even those little bosses don't send it. The soldiers said.

"Oh my God. I don't know how you got here. The sergeant said sympathetically.

"We can't send much. The above only gives me fifty and a half taels a month. You must know that in Xianyang, a worker can earn five and a half taels a day. I don't know how much more I earned in a month. So, we rely on the loot. The sergeant said.

"That's right. Veteran, you're right, we should grab more loot. The soldiers of the Zhao army began to stir up. They began to think about how to snatch the spoils of war in the next battle.

"By the way, snatch back a woman with a big ass." The sergeant said jokingly.

"Hahaha." All the soldiers burst into laughter. Many people still smiled. They fought all their lives, and many of them had never even touched a woman, and this joke gave the two armies a common topic.

"All the people, all the people come with me." At this time, the soldier in charge of the Zhao army, the officer of the Qin army, shouted loudly. They were placed in the third accommodation area in the D district. There they will receive basic training from the Qin army. All Zhao Jun smiled and left. They were friendly to the sergeants.

From the sergeant's conversation, they knew what they were going to do next. That is to abandon the prejudice of Zhao and Qin. Everyone is here to make a fortune, there is no need for Zhao and Qin to mess around. And then there are women. They began to inquire about anything about the Western Regions. Especially the purchase of land by the Qin State. They are particularly concerned. They want to have a thousand acres of land of their own.

As Zhao Jun's ideas began, they were integrated into the Qin army's military cultural tradition. They got their long-awaited crisp uniforms, followed by advanced trap rifles. Then the sergeants of the Qin army took five of them to train them personally. The sergeants were always very patient in teaching them. In the leisure time of training, the sergeants chatted with them and bragged. The soldiers of the Zhao army always wanted the sergeants to talk about the experience of the Qin army in foreign wars. Then there's the story of getting rich. The barracks are boring. When the sergeants met a good Zhao army, the veterans would invite them to the tavern to sit down and have a few drinks. Zhao Jun had no military salary, so he had no financial resources. They would love to go to war sooner. They are not afraid of war. What I am afraid of is not to fight. It's hard not to fight.

The relationship between the two armies has been very harmonious in the course of getting along with each other. And Qin made a major breakthrough in metallurgy. The metallurgical major of Qinguo University has explored the acid steelmaking method and the alkaline steelmaking method. And on the basis of blast furnaces, open-hearth furnaces, a kind of converter also appeared. Although it was tested on a small scale in the laboratory. But this invention is enough to change the current serious demand for steel in the Qin State.

With the rapid development of the Industrial Revolution, there is an increasing demand for the quantity and quality of steel. People are looking for new and more efficient ways to make steel. The engineers of the Qin State also continued to do research.

However, as the pressurization test continued to be explored, some people began to think of using a kind of hot iron to continuously blow gas into the molten iron with a pressurized device to make steel. This approach has been around for a long time. Chemistry experiments are always carried out in bottles and jars, because liquids are always able to speed up reactions. Well, molten iron is also a liquid state. Why can't you do that. As a result, some military engineers began to take the initiative to study.

Niu Pin is such a person with a unique idea. He proposed that the molten pig iron be put into a converter and blown into high-pressure air to burn off the silicon, manganese, carbon and phosphorus contained in the pig iron, so as to make steel. His son Niu Xiaoer also invented a pear-shaped movable converter for this purpose, which can make 1,000 stones of molten iron into steel in only 10 minutes. If you use the stirring method, it will take several days to complete.

However, what Niu's father and son developed was an acid converter, in which phosphorus is difficult to be oxidized and removed. In this case, the requirements for mineral processing are too high. Iron mines in the north could not accept this. This also made this newly invented steelmaking method not recognized by Wenyang Company.

While this approach is not feasible, it is not without room for improvement. Another metallurgical engineer at the university improved the acid converter steelmaking method.

Li Ke proposed the alkaline converter steelmaking method, that is, the clinker fired at high temperature of dolomite, mixed with tar to make an alkaline refractory brick lining, and the air was blown in and quicklime was added during the smelting process. In this way, the whole reaction is carried out under alkaline high temperature conditions, and the oxidized phosphorus is combined with lime, which remains in the slag and does not return to the steel, thus solving the problem of dephosphorization. His method was soon patented for the technology. And it was adopted by the Wenyang company in the north.

And Li Ke also got the position of metallurgical consultant for Wenyang Company to know about steelmaking. Soon, the North sent back by telegram the news of the success of steelmaking. This news was notified to King Qin as soon as possible. King Qin's repeated explanations in the relevant technical personnel finally understood. The state of Qin mastered a method that could smelt 1,000 stone of steel in ten minutes. King Qin was overjoyed.

The demand for steel has always been a concern for King Qin. Because cannons need very high-quality steel to be strong and strong. There are also a large number of guns that also need steel. Now I can make so much steel at once. King Qin was overjoyed. Soon he asked the royal bank to contribute to the construction of steel mills to speed up the smelting of steel, so as to increase steel production and meet the needs of the Qin state.
