Chapter 138: Striking Iron and Making Words

Thank you for the support of Northern Health Care and Wind Phantom Lizard~~

If you want to make a flintlock pistol, ordinary iron tools will definitely not work, if you want to ensure quality, ensure life, and ensure that you do not lose the chain or even hurt the user at a critical moment, then, it is very important to refuse iron tools and choose steel.

West of South A County.

Iron-smelting workshop.

Oh no, it should be called a steel mill now, and even the sign at the door has a plaque that reads "Qianwei Steel", and the blacksmiths call it "Qiangang Steel" when they call it Shun.

The name of Qiangang was still because of the vigorous propaganda of the government during this period of time, the semi-compulsory requisition, the high and stable income, and the enjoyment of the prince county guard not long after he came out...... That's right, health insurance!

Speaking of this medical insurance, this law has been well received in Qianwei from the beginning of its promulgation, to the surprise of several pioneers, 30% of the county's population participated in the first time, and the rest of the people were all boiling when they found out that the person who paid the medical insurance was sick and went to the government hospital to see a doctor and really waived more than half of the cost! In an instant, the insurance rate of medical insurance in the entire ZW County has reached 60%, and most of the rest are some poor people who can't afford to pay the medical insurance fees and don't want to make progress. Needless to say, the clinics were full, and several county clinics that supported medical insurance began to queue up for a long time from the time the curfew was lifted until the clinics closed.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to know that the craftsmen in Qiangang actually have the good thing of being paid for medical insurance by the government, and they also have the privilege of priority medical treatment, and the threshold of the Qiangang Recruitment Office has been broken.

After obtaining authorization, the ten former iron-smelting furnaces in Qiangang now have the right to dispose of all the current steel-making furnaces Liu Chan has the right to dispose of, but 50% of the output still has to be sent to Hanzhong to support his cheap father to fight, and the remaining 50% he has the right to dispose of, but when the construction of the Great Wall in the south is almost completed, there is still steel left for Liu Chan to use as research materials.

Speaking of which, I have to say that Pu Yuan is really a famous craftsman in the world, and after reading through the basic chemical principles left by Liu Chan, he really found a way to remove phosphorus and sulfur from steel.

That is to fire the clay graphite crucible while the blast furnace is reforged!

Of course, this method will cause the carbon in the graphite to penetrate into the molten steel and affect the performance, but this guy, after a joint test with the Shu Academy of Sciences, through the chemical laboratory of the second kind of acid hydrochloric acid, actually found a way to use a small amount of clay mixed with a small amount of clay to fire the crucible coating to prevent carburizing!

As the first discoverer, Pu Yuan was asked by Liu Chan to instruct Liu Bei to seal the examination order.

Although the examination order is only 600 stones, it actually has the function of making weapons, bows, crossbows, swords, and armor, although it is only a position in Qianwei County, but it is obvious that this means that Liu Bei has begun to let Liu Chan train his own team of henchmen!

Now the steel produced by Qiangang can be said to be on the right track, although the output has decreased to a certain extent compared with the original, and the cost is also large, but the various weapons and equipment forged from the steel can be said to exceed the original iron in all aspects, even if the famous blacksmith forged a hundred steel.

Of course, Pu Yuan, who was reminded by Liu Chan, has now begun to consciously regulate the proportion of various elements in the steel, although the current experiment is basically in a situation of complete failure, and even the experimental principles and methods are taken for granted, but Pu Yuan is still full of interest, so Liu Chan has another "overtime maniac" under his command.

"Something happened in the house?"

Next to a boiler, Pu Yuan asked without raising his head while holding a small notebook to record the feedback reported to him by the blacksmith under his hand.

Beside him stood a middle-aged man in a gray robe, estimated to be about the same age as Pu Yuan.

"It's not just a change, if it weren't for the fact that the prince has always been rational and magnanimous, I'm afraid that those Mo family children in the mansion will be imprisoned, and they won't be able to see the sun for the rest of their lives."

The middle-aged man who spoke was Yu Dan, and he came here to ask Pu Yuan to help him create a movable type printing plate.

The selection of the basic characters of movable type printing has been nearly completed, not only that, but also attracted a group of people from Qianwei and even the surrounding counties to come to Wuyang to seek refuge in Liu Chan, which shows that Liu Chan will completely publicize this matter in the future, and it will form a scene that shocks the world.

"That's true." Hearing what Yu Dan said, Pu Yuan stopped the pen in his hand, turned to look at him and said: "It is said that this world is the world of Confucianism, but under the command of the prince, it is the Mo family that is the only one, so now there is a Taoist who can compete with it a little, otherwise these guys will have to make mistakes." ”

In this world, it is taboo that one family is dominant, and Confucianism has been dominant for so many years, and many ideas and governing concepts have changed, and Pu Yuan, who lives under Liu Chan, certainly does not want to see this happen.

As for why Yu Dan came to him, he also knew, on the one hand, it was the manufacture of printing plates, and on the other hand, he wanted to get closer to him.

To be precise, Yu Dan should belong to the Confucian school, but it is obvious that Liu Chan has no feeling for Confucianism, but he just takes a fancy to Yu Dan's skills. This makes Yu Dan, who is lonely, always think about huddling together to keep warm.

But it's been a few days since I got up, after all, the production of the printed version is not a sloppy guy, but its attitude today seems to be less urgent than before, on the contrary, it is like a departure from himself.

Pu Yuan was a little curious about what was going on, but he was not good at words by nature, and he was worried that he would lose too many words, so he still held back the curiosity in his heart, and walked towards a house with Yu Dan.

When he walked in, Pu Yuan pointed his hand, regardless of how much psychological pressure Yu Dan's arms as thick as tree trunks were exposed in his short shirt.

"Brother Pu Yuan, you should go to the battlefield to charge and break the formation, stay here ......" Yu Dan said as he looked in the direction he pointed.

As far as the eye could see, several square-shaped plates were placed on a piece of cloth, the inside was smooth, each hook was standard, and what pleased him the most were the squares that were stacked neatly together.

"Mr. Yu, these things have been completed, you can take them today." If other people heard this, most of them thought that Pu Yuan was driving people away, but Yu Dan, who had found some time to understand this rough man, knew that the other party was just talking about things, so he immediately smiled, and then walked out and called in all the apprentices who were standing outside and came with him.

"Everyone be careful, put things in the car, and we can return to Wuyang today!"

As soon as these words came out, the tears of excitement of these apprentices were about to come out.

On this hot day, guarding these stoves every day, people have lost a lot of weight, and a few people who originally wanted to "jump" to Dao Qiangang finally understood why the craftsmen of Qiangang were treated so well.

The work of a blacksmith is really not something that ordinary people can do!
