Chapter Ninety-Five: The Great Steel
Speaking of building weapons, Zhang Wang suddenly remembered that his job as a 300-stone examiner Ling Cheng was a craftsman in charge of the production of bows, arrows, knives, spears, armor, and armor, as well as the production of chariots, transport vehicles, textiles, etc. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
The examination room is probably equivalent to the logistics department of the army in later generations, and the examination order is the minister, and his examination order is the assistant to the minister.
During the Western Han Dynasty, the examination order belonged to the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and in the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was under the jurisdiction of the Taifu Temple, and the current highest official of the Taifu Temple was Deng Sheng.
Deng Sheng, a Hongnong man, is a good person, in the history of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after Taiwei Yang Ci was dismissed by Emperor Liu Hong in 184, he became a Taiwei.
donated his family property, got the history of the examination order, was murdered by Zhang Ji, and was promoted to the examination order, and he never went to work for a day, even if he used the excuse of recuperation, it was a bit too much. When you have time, you must go to the house of the servant Deng Sheng to offer your courtesy.
Zhang forgot to be distracted here, and Zhang Fei was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
There are two things that warriors love the most, one is a divine soldier, and the other is a BMW. A world-famous warrior, if anyone doesn't ride a BMW or carry a divine soldier when he goes out, he is simply embarrassed to greet people.
Zhang Fei's family is in Zhuo County, and it is convenient to buy horses with the Huns, but there is no place to buy this magic weapon.
Seeing that Zhang Wang's ability to solve this problem for him was so excited that he couldn't help himself for a while.
Zhang Forget came back to his senses, and was startled by the leopard's head and eyes in front of him, and eased his emotions, and then said: "This kind of thing is expressly forbidden by the imperial court, so even if I have the intention to build a hundred refining blades for Brother Yide, this matter must not be rushed, and I need to act in secret." ”
Zhang Fei felt that he was reasonable, and nodded frequently.
Zhang Forget blinked and asked, "Brother Yide, can you put aside your personal grievances for the time being and go to live in my manor for a while?" In this way, it will be much easier for you and me to get things done. The two of us brothers work together to build the Divine Soldier as quickly as possible. ”
Zhang Fei nodded: "It's so good, it's cheaper for Zhang Wang, so that he can live happily for a month." ”
Zhang Forget wiped his cold sweat and said, "Zhang Forget has an official position, can he still run?" Let's let him get away for a few more days! ”
Seeing that Zhang Fei agreed to his proposal, Zhang Forget kept persuading him to drink and eat and drink with Zhang Fei. Nine times out of ten, the friendship between men is made at the wine table.
While Zhang Fei was eating and drinking, Zhang Forget turned around and instructed Wang Rao: "You go to Zhang Hong to withdraw some money and buy a blacksmith shop, it is best to buy it with the blacksmith." The blacksmith told people to move to the manor outside the city, and it must be close to the river. ”
Wang Rao was puzzled: "What are you buying a blacksmith for?" Isn't your servant Han Wu a blacksmith? ”
Zhang Forget was an outsider, so it was inconvenient to say more, so he waved his hand and said, "I have another great use for this person." ”
Wang Rao nodded and took the order. After a while, ten yellow scarves came to protect Zhang Wang's safety instead of Wang Rao.
Zhang Fei saw that Zhang Forget had a beautiful girl who knew martial arts and a strong domestic servant, so he deduced that he had a solid family background, and he had a little more trust in what he promised him.
After being full of wine and food, it was already dark, Zhang Forget took Diao Chan and Zhang Fei and returned to the manor outside the city.
Ma Bao saw that Zhang had forgotten and returned, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Diao Chan was afraid of revealing his stuffing, so he ran over in advance and explained everything such as Zhang Wang's fabricated name.
Ma Bao was accustomed to Zhang Forget's cards not playing according to common sense, so he sent someone to vacate the best room and let Zhang Fei, Zhang Forget and others live in.
Zhang Forget did not have the habit of going to bed early at all, and ordered the horse to wrap up a bonfire and illuminate a clearing by the river as bright as day.
To create a divine blade, it is easy to say, but in fact, it is very complicated to operate, first of all, the acquisition of high-quality steel.
In order to produce better quality steel in a shorter time, Zhang Wang had to come up with new technologies to replace the backward methods of the Han and Han dynasties.
Ironmaking requires iron-smelting equipment, blast equipment, fuel, solvents and iron ore.
Iron smelting equipment mainly refers to iron smelting blast furnace.
The Western Han Dynasty already had an iron-smelting blast furnace, but at this time, the blast furnace had poor sealing and fire resistance, the gas recovery and dust removal systems were not perfect, and the tuyere was few, so it must be improved before it could be used.
Zhang Wang personally designed the drawings, and spent half an hour with a few people who had read the book, and arranged for fifty nursing homes to start construction together.
The nurses had just eaten delicious boiled sausages during the day, and their morale was very high, and none of them were lazy and slippery.
The bricks and tiles are ready-made, just take them and use them directly, and most of the time is wasted on studying the drawings.
Zhang Fei saw that Zhang Wang worked all night in order to help him build a magic weapon, and he was so moved that he rolled up his sleeves and went directly to help the nursing home move bricks.
After Zhang Forget was busy nervously for three hours, he yawned for a long time, and when he looked back, Diao Chan was leaning against a big tree, and he didn't know how long he had been asleep.
Instructed Ma Bao to send someone to the mountains tomorrow to look for coal, Zhang Forget took Diao Chan back to the bedroom.
The current Diao Chan is no longer the skinny appearance when I first met, there is meat on my body, my little face is red and fluttering, and I gradually feel a little baby fat.
Zhang Forget held her in his arms, feeling like a dream.
One of the four beauties in ancient times, Diao Chan, is actually sleeping in his arms, if he takes a photo and sends it to a circle of friends, how many single dogs will be abused.
The only pity is that this big beauty is still a pure and flawless child at the moment, and it really makes people can't mention the hope of the beast.
Thinking of Diao Chan's father who starved to death in Zhang Ji's dungeon and his mother who entered the palace as a slave in clothes, Zhang Wangwei frowned secretly.
How should I talk to Diao Chan about this?
In the early morning of the second day, Zhang Wang woke up in suffocation.
Although there was an unusually nice and warm touch on his face, which was not only soft and smooth, but also round and full of surprising elasticity, his nose was unable to breathe fresh air.
Zhang Forget opened his eyes, pushed Wang Rao who was sitting on his face hard, and smashed his fist on the girl's upright buttocks.
The girl jumped up from Zhang Wang's face with a scream, and her face was as white as jade.
Zhang Forget glared at her and said dissatisfiedly: "Is there a mistake?" How dare you take your ass and sit in my face? Can the girl's family be a little more reserved? ”
Wang Rao was ashamed and angry, pointing to Diao Chan who was snickering on the side: "Do you think I am willing?" She, she took advantage of my unpreparedness and pushed me, and I didn't stand still......"
Diao Chan ran away from the smoke and turned around and made a grimace, and his eyes like autumn water smiled and bent into a pair of beautiful crescent moons.
Zhang Forget shook his head helplessly, stretched out his arms and stretched out his waist.
The warm sunlight passed through the window and went straight into the house, and the dazzling rays of light fell from the sky, making Zhang Wang, who was still a little confused, realize that it was already noon.
Wang Rao blushed, her mouth pursed very high: "The iron-smelting blast furnace has been completed, and Ma Bao has also sent people to transport a large amount of coal, and everyone is waiting for your next arrangement." ”
Zhang Forget sat on the bed and glanced at her, frowned, and said, "A bunch of people are idle outside, why won't you find some work for them?" How did you become a roommate? ”
"Who's your roommate?" Wang Rao's face turned red and she stomped her foot hard.
Annoyed, she dragged Zhang Forget off the bed, then let his legs hang on the ground, and dragged him all the way from the house to the courtyard.
Zhang Forget wanted to break free, but he didn't have Wang Rao's strength, and said angrily: "Hey, don't be rude, okay?" At least let me put my pants on......"
Wang Rao let go of him, went back to the house and got his clothes, and when he came back, he threw a head in his face.
Zhang Wang, muttering "Only women and villains are difficult to raise", quickly put on his clothes, and then went straight to the kitchen.
After eating something indiscriminately to satisfy his stomach, Zhang Forget took Wang Rao and Diao Chan to the river.
The iron-smelting blast furnace has been covered, and the furnace body is more than two zhang high, standing by the river, giving people a very imposing feeling.
Ma Bao sent people to look for open-pit coal mines according to Zhang Wang's instructions, but when he couldn't find them, he went to the market to buy a large amount of coal. Anyway, the head of the family has money, and he will earn it after spending it!
Zhang Wang, holding the ladder up and down, observed the entire iron-smelting blast furnace, determined that there were no problems with the furnace throat, furnace body, furnace waist, furnace belly, and furnace cylinder, and began to direct people to make the next preparation: manufacturing bellows.
Du Shi of the Eastern Han Dynasty invented the water drain, which was the best hydraulic blast iron smelting equipment before the Tang and Song dynasties.
But Zhang Wang was not satisfied, he drew a drawing of a double-action piston bellows and asked the servants to make it according to the drawings.
The double-acting piston bellows are several times better than the blowing effect of the water drain, and it is the most important invention in China in terms of blower technology.
While arranging some of the bellows to be made, Zhang Wang took the others to start preparing fuel.
One ton of iron smelted in a blast furnace requires about two tons of iron ore, half a ton of coke and a few solvents.
The solvent is limestone, dolomite, fluorite and other substances, and their function is to melt the slag into liquid; Remove harmful elements sulfur and impurities.
Coal can be used as fuel when bought, but coke must be processed and fired itself.
The use of coke instead of charcoal in ironmaking blast furnaces laid the foundation for the large-scale of modern blast furnaces and was a major milestone in the history of metallurgy.
Coke is made in a clay brick kiln, which takes about 10 days to make the coking successfully.
After Zhang forgot to instill the knowledge of coking into Ma Bao, he asked him to take the nursing home to toss casually.
Zhang Fei **** chest, wanting to show his strength, stayed for a long time but found that he didn't know anything, couldn't help anything, and was very depressed.
Zhang Forget comforted him and said: "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, there is a specialization in the art industry, Yide is a martial artist, and there is the courage of ten thousand people, and the little brother doesn't know how envious he is." ”
Zhang Fei was ashamed and said: "What about martial arts? How many literati doctors can afford to be such a vulgar martial artist as me? Virtuous brother, it is better for you to introduce the ancestor of Lingshi Bodhi to me, and my old Zhang will also learn a few skills from him to help the people. ”
"Well...... this Zhang Wang's old face first flushed, and then his eyes lit up, "If Brother Yide doesn't dislike it, I can pass on the art on behalf of the teacher." ”
