Chapter 23 Formation of a Group (5)
Some of them were curious and asked me how I knew that the world would be chaotic in the future. The answer to this question is actually very simple, there was a chaos two or three years ago, and although it has been suppressed, the country's system has not improved now, and the root cause of the problem still exists, so rebellions will still occur. Just like Bian Zhang, Han Sui and others who are rebelling in the west are an example, they have not been able to calm down until now, and the imperial court has been defeated in recent times, and it will not be long before other remote areas will inevitably rise up to resist. As the saying goes, where there is exploitation and oppression, there will be people who will rise up and resist in order to survive, and this is an eternal truth that will not change. They were quite impressed with what I said.
However, he said that when the first batch of pure gold was refined, Feng Xian instructed Qin Yi and Wei Xu to take a few villagers to the county town to buy livestock. The water and grass here are fertile, and it is very suitable for the development of grazing.
In the past few days, Feng Xian and I have been probing for signs of the red rabbit horse, but we haven't been able to see its shadow for several days, and it seems that Bacheng frightened it last time. Fortunately, a few days later, he suddenly appeared again, which made me and Bongxian very happy.
I was instructed not to startle the snake this time, and to wait until I found out its habits before I started. I don't quite understand, doesn't it mean that you are very familiar with horses since you were a child, why do you still touch their habits? Bongxian told me that wild horses are different from domestic horses, and wild horses are very vigilant and never like to be approached by people. I couldn't help but be relieved, it seemed like this.
Later, Bong first found two mares and put them near the pond to graze them to mate. The red rabbit who dares to love is in estrus, so he always runs this way, and it seems that he is looking for a lover.
It is said that there is a more obvious difference between humans and animals, that is, animals have a fixed estrous cycle, while humans do not, which may be one of the reasons why humans can stand out from the animal kingdom.
At first, the red rabbit horse was very happy to see two people of the opposite sex by the pool, but what puzzled me was that he refused to come. I couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, why doesn't he come to the filly?" ”
At this time, Bong Xian also felt very puzzled, and then he suddenly thought of something, and said: "Oh, I understand, I think he must have noticed that Nobita is here, out of vigilance, so he didn't dare to get too close." ”
I was a little surprised, I could see it from such a distance, then the horse's eyesight was really good enough, and then I said, "Okay, I'll take Nobita away." ”
Immediately, I led Nobita and ran away for a few dozen meters, and then I let Nobita lie down in the grass. After a while, the red rabbit horse really walked slowly towards the mare, not caring at all about Feng Xian, who was lying more than ten meters away.
At this time, I couldn't help but understand that as long as there is a kind of human, even if a human is nearby, wild horses are usually affected by their own kind, thinking that humans will not easily hurt themselves. At this point, our first step is complete.
I saw from a distance that the red rabbit horse began to rub against one of the mares, and it seemed that he was probably communicating with the mare, but the person shook his ass and ran to the side, and the red rabbit suddenly touched a nail. I can't help but feel a little funny when I see this scene, you say that this foreign wild horse is uneducated, and if you want to courtship the opposite sex, there must be a process, you say that you two have no emotional foundation at all, how can people easily accept it. So, don't look at this red rabbit as a rich and handsome person, he has to learn how to fall in love.
Seeing that the horse was unwilling, Chitu did not force it, so he approached the other horse, but unexpectedly the horse was also reluctant, which made Chitu depressed. Not to mention that Chitu is depressed, even I feel a little puzzled at this time, isn't this female foal always the most like the mighty and majestic male, why is it not willing at this time?
I couldn't help but look at Feng Xian, but I saw that he was happily closing his eyes, with a stick of grass in his mouth, and a look of enjoyment on his face.
I cried out and asked, "Brother, what's the matter with those two fillies?" ”
Feng Xian smiled and said, "Don't worry, the foal is not yet in heat, let them be in one place." ”
Listening to Feng Xian's words, I probably knew what was going on, and it turned out that this thing had to be felt by a mare. It's a shame that this didn't happen to people, otherwise the man would have to wonder if the other party had menopause arrived early.
In fact, even in the animal kingdom, such things have to be done with your will, and the animals themselves usually silently abide by a certain rule, and rarely violate it. In this regard, it is stronger than some humans, which is why some people in the past were scolded for being "inferior to beasts".
Subsequently, Chitu tried several more times, but failed, so he had to temporarily press it down and "cultivate" a relationship with the two opposite sexes. This kid's brain is spinning pretty fast.
Before the matter here was over, there was good news from Li Jiangren's side, saying that all the gold had been refined, and the pure gold obtained was more than nine cents of the original composition, and the loss of the composition was less than half a cent, that is to say, the amount of gold obtained was more than ninety-five percent. This is much higher than I expected, I originally expected to use that backward alchemy method, it would be good to be able to get more than 80 percent, but I didn't expect to get more than 95 percent, I have to say that this Tie Guan Li is really a very capable person, but it's a pity that I can't communicate with him in words, but fortunately I can understand what he means.
After the gold refining is over, it is naturally a matter of building equipment, but before that, we still divided the gold first, and everyone was very excited to get their own dividends. Feng Xian and I naturally don't need to take dividends from it, because the rest is equivalent to all of them, if necessary, just take a little from it and use it, excluding the dividends and the cost of buying livestock, there are about 30 kilograms left. I have to say that the money in this era is really valuable.
After that, we started to build the gear, just the ones we were going to use, of course. As for the steel-filling method I mentioned before, this is a relatively simple, fast and practical steelmaking method, under normal circumstances, a high-quality steel equipment can be produced in a day or two, and its quality is not worse than that of 100 steelmaking.
I explained the essentials to Craftsman Li and demonstrated to him. The so-called steel filling method, first of all, a piece of material needs to be melted at high temperature, the material can be pig iron, can also be used wrought iron, if the use of wrought iron will be better. When the material is melted into a liquid, it is constantly stirred evenly, and then the liquid material is poured on the solid material used to cast the equipment, and the solid material should be flipped back and forth with iron tongs to ensure that the liquid material is poured evenly enough, so that the carbon, fierce, chromium and other elements in the high-temperature liquid will evenly penetrate into the solid material. After that, you can quickly refine steel equipment with good materials.
Of course, refining materials is only the first step in casting excellent steel equipment, and the second step is the quenching process after forming. Prior to this, the quenching technology was basically single-liquid quenching, and the quenching liquid at different temperatures would cause different degrees of performance differences in equipment, so its effect was not as good as double-liquid quenching. The so-called double-liquid quenching means that the first quenching process should be carried out with a liquid with a faster cooling speed, such as the water of a river with a high cold temperature, and rapid cooling can ensure the hardness of the equipment; When the temperature of the equipment drops down and has not completely entered the normal temperature state, the second quenching process is carried out with a liquid with a slower cooling rate, and the slow cooling can ensure the toughness of the equipment. To put it simply, the advantage of dual-liquid quenching is that it can not only make the material of the equipment very hard, but also will not crack and deform because it is too hard.
For the guidance I gave in terms of experience, Li Craftsman was very excited, not only gave me a hand again and again, but also asked his little apprentice to kowtow to me to express his inner gratitude. I definitely can't accept kowtowing, this is a big deal, how can I kneel and kowtow, and besides, my purpose is also to build good equipment faster, not to show off on purpose.
However, his little apprentice is quite likable, he is both diligent and sensible, and he has to call me "Second Master" when he says anything, and I am embarrassed to do this. Just because the ancients usually called "master", that is, to flatter the belief that "one day as a teacher and one life as a father". In other words, this belief is not a good thing, if the current master is a good person, it is fine, if he is a treacherous person, it can be regarded as a complete death.
Since he called me the second master, then I naturally have to know his name and background, he is only thirteen years old this year, without a father or mother, he was picked up by Li Craftsman, and Li Craftsman named him Pu Yuan.
Pu Yuan? Well, the name seems familiar.
