Section 1376 Black Technology
After Liu Che inspected Moyuan for an hour, Yang Yi, the contemporary son of the Mo family, heard the news and immediately rushed to Moyuan. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, Liu Che was already in a special laboratory in Moyuan, watching a new technical demonstration.
"Your Majesty, this is a special material discovered by the ministers......" Next to a furnace, an ink artist whispered: "Its name is 'Shi Nirvana', commonly known as thrush stone, and the monks often mix this stone with lead, and it is often used for alchemy...... In addition, after inspecting several crucible furnaces left by the previous dynasty, he found that the masonry and boilers of these crucibles used in the previous dynasty were mixed with this material......"
"The minister then searched for ancient books, inspected the fragments, and also entrusted the Shaofu and the internal history yamen to assist in the search for the descendants of the officials of the late Qin Shaofu, and the minister finally heard from several old men that the Qin Emperor cast a sword, and indeed used Shi Ni as a brick ......"
"The minister then imitated the shape of the crucible furnaces left by the previous dynasty, and privately placed some masonry ......"
"Then the minister built this furnace......"
In front of Liu Che's eyes, under a circular metallurgical crucible, the blower continued to blow air in the struggle of several craftsmen.
The furnace is hot and rising.
However, the entire stove and crucible did not burn red and deform as usual.
"This is ......" Liu Che stared at all this, guessing in his heart.
He turned his head to Sima An, who accompanied the inspection, and said, "Go and fetch the stone to take a look at ......it for me."
"No!" Sima An nodded.
Soon, a small black stone that looked a little scaly, but was inconspicuous was brought to Liu Che.
"Your Majesty, the stone is often used as a child's plaything or a women's thrush in the folk, so it is also called a thrush stone...... Sima An respectfully reported: "However, in the past, people often confused carboniferous stone and lead stone with it, and this kind of stone nephera stone is generally not common...... Occasionally, a warlock is known for his alchemy......"
Liu Che reached out and grabbed the small stone, pinching it in his hand, which was cool and comfortable.
Although he had not learned any smelting knowledge, Liu Che still recognized this stone.
Graphite!
There is no doubt that this is graphite for sure!
The reason why this stone is recognized is also thanks to the so-called graphene material that has been hyped on the Internet in later generations.
Undoubtedly, graphite is a key material for metallurgical forging.
It is fire-resistant, it is extremely thermally conductive, and it is impact resistant and resistant to high temperatures.
At present, there is no longer any black technology that can play a greater role in promoting the metallurgy and casting technology of the Han Dynasty.
Moreover, what is particularly crucial is that if Liu Che remembers correctly, China has the highest reserves of this kind of ore that can only be formed under the conditions of high temperature and high pressure underground.
Even in later generations, the graphite ore reserves of all other countries combined are less than half of China!
In other words, while the ore may not be hard to find elsewhere on Earth, it is certainly difficult to mine and refine on a large scale.
And in China......
It can only be said that God has given it!
Even on the surface, I am afraid that the reserves of this ore are very high.
This means that as long as Chinese craftsmen and scientists discover its talent in metallurgy and casting, it will inevitably become the raw material for the evolution of Chinese civilization.
In fact, I am afraid, the ancestors of China have already discovered its effect.
Those swords unearthed from the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, those black technologies, and those special alloys that could not have appeared before the Common Era.
I'm afraid it's the result of the discovery of the craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty.
Otherwise, Liu Che couldn't imagine how to melt the metal chromium with a melting point of up to 4,000 degrees with today's technology.
And this is not the first initiative of the Qin people.
The ancient swordsmiths of the Yue Kingdom had already begun to plate metal chrome into the bronze sword.
For example, in later generations, a sword of 'Yue Wang Goujian's own sword' was unearthed, and the sword body was plated with a layer of metal chrome.
Therefore, this sword has been buried deep in the ground for more than 2,500 years, but once it is unearthed, it is still cold and terrifying.
Also, legend has it that in the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang, there was a sword that bounced back instantly and returned to straightness after it was unearthed.
Undoubtedly, this is also an alloy process that can only be smelted at high temperatures.
In other words, I am afraid that as early as the turn of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the ancestors of China had already understood the secrets of graphite, and it is very likely that the graphite crucible furnace was manufactured.
It may be immature and crude, but this black technology is enough to melt any common metal they can find.
And, if used properly, the whole country can make a crucible that can melt chromium.
It's just a pity......
At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were too many things destroyed.
Especially the guy Zhang Han, in order to renew the life of the Qin Empire, sent Lishan prisoners and Shaofu craftsmen, officials, and troops to form the last heavy army cluster of the Great Qin Empire, and went south to extinguish the rebellion.
As a result, all were buried in the Battle of the Great Deer.
Xiang Yu took revenge and killed the Qin soldiers.
The craftsmen and masters of the entire Qin Shaofu and the entire system were almost completely buried.
Even if there are survivors, it is no longer possible to pick up the entire empire's system.
After all, if you want to master the black technology of graphite crucible, you need more than just one person and two people, but you must have the cooperation of a whole system.
Someone had to find ore, someone smelted, someone mastered the recipe for crucibles and refractory bricks, someone planned unifiedly, someone allocated resources, and finally, a precious graphite crucible furnace was made.
Moreover, Liu Che believes that these technologies should be passed on to men and not women.
However, fortunately, today, with the revival of the Mo family, Liu Che is confident that this lost technology can be reconnected.
Staring at the small stone in his hand, Liu Che asked, "This kind of stone is a large-scale mine?" ”
"Your Majesty...... This minister doesn't know ......" Sima An replied, "However, I don't think so......"
"Good ......" Liu Che raised his head and ordered: "Edict Shaofu Qing: Order Shaofu to announce the world bazaar, Shi Ni Shi, all for ten yuan a catty......"
Since, the memory of later generations told him that China is the world's largest graphite reserves.
Well, there should be a lot of this stone and its ore.
Even, in some areas, there should be open-pit mines.
And Liu Che now urgently needs to find this ore, as a traverser, of course, Liu Che will not be stupid to immediately set up a working group, with the power of the state to find it - this is both time-consuming and laborious, and at this stage, in fact, if the graphite deposits are buried too deeply, Liu Che will find them, and there is no way to take them.
In that case, there is no need to waste the effort.
In this world, after all, there is still money that can make ghosts grind.
As long as there is money to be made, Liu Che believes that businessmen and ordinary people will tell him the location of the graphite open-pit mine themselves.
With graphite, and after mastering the technology of large-scale production and manufacturing of refractory bricks using graphite as raw material and even graphite crucible furnace technology, then the blast furnace of the Han family can be updated.
Liu Che walked up to the ink master who had discovered and continued the Qin Dynasty technique and asked with a smile, "What is Qing's name?" ”
"Minister...... Lujiang Chen Yuan, respectfully asked His Majesty Sheng'an...... "This ink man immediately worshiped excitedly, in the eyes of the Mo family's ink masters, Liu Che, the emperor, is simply the perfect incarnation of the Son of Heaven."
Even in many things, it is very consistent with the philosophy pursued by the Mohists.
In addition to liking to fight and create wars, it is almost a projection of the three generations of ancestors in the present world.
"Qing has made great contributions to the world and for me!" Liu Che said with a smile: "I have ordered Qing to be 'Yang Hejun', and there are 200 households in the food town......"
Then he looked at the 'Shi Nirvana' in his hand, and suddenly thought of a statement, and continued: "Qing is the ink, and the use of this thing has been issued for the world, so it is better to call this thing 'graphite'!" ”
"No!"
"Thank God!"
The Son of Heaven said that there can be no mistakes or omissions!
Liu Che smiled very satisfied, and then said, "Let's go, I'll go to other places to see......"
……………………
Half an hour later, Liu Che and his party arrived at the most secret place in Moyuan now.
Compared to others, this place is almost a forbidden place.
Every day for twelve hours, there are soldiers on strict alert.
On both sides of the road, countless wooden signs, even walls, and even trees have blood-red slogans written on them.
'Military Forbidden Land, No Approaching'
'Whoever enters this without an edict will be killed!' ’
There were even two corpses, which had been completely dried and hung from two crooked-necked trees at the intersection.
Judging from their clothing, there is no doubt that these two people are the sons of the Han family princes, and their status in the family is not low.
And the bodies of these two men are a warning to everyone about the horror and threat of this place.
Those soldiers are really going to kill!
And it doesn't matter who you are.
At this point, the rest of the entourage, including Sima An, had to stand respectfully because they had no permission.
Only Ji Di and Liu Che's four personal guards surrounded him and slowly walked into this place.
"Your Majesty!" The Yulin guards in charge of the guard stood solemnly and saluted.
A spear with a handle, the cold light was fierce, and the powerful deterrent power and terrifying aura immediately rushed to the face.
Obviously, these guards have all been on the battlefield and killed people.
In fact, the same is true.
Everyone who can be sent here to protect this place by Liu Che's order has been strictly vetted to ensure that they will not talk nonsense outside, let alone be suspected of treason.
Other than that, all of them are veterans of the Feather Forest Guard.
Each one of them is an elite who has returned from the battlefield.
In the past, this army has always been Liu Che's personal guard, his loyal and reliable canine teeth and the sharp butcher's knife hidden on his body.
That is, in the past two years, as the embroidered clothes and guards gradually took shape, Liu Che no longer regarded them as his own swords, breaking the sword of interest groups.
Instead, they are stationed here to protect the world's largest secret and real black technology.
Liu Che walked to the end of the road, and here it was surrounded by a wall two feet high.
On the wall, there stood dozens of soldiers who were constantly patrolling.
Seeing Liu Che coming, the soldiers immediately saluted, and then opened the heavy gate that led to the inside of the wall.
The door is so heavy that it takes a winch to open it.
I'm afraid that even the gate of the ordinary county capital is not as heavy as this gate.
Inside the gate, this place is a different world entirely.
At the door, a row of tombs lined up.
Liu Che looked at these tombs with mixed feelings.
These are the pioneers of the Mo family who died here for the sake of science and Liu Che's ambitions.
"Tomb of the Forested Wilderness of the Sanyo People of Kamigun......"
"Chu people Zhang Wei's clothes and mounds ......"
“……”
There are dozens of people, dozens of Mo family ink masters or elite disciples who have dedicated their lives or even all of them here.
Most of the people have no bones, and their families, wives and children don't even know where they died and where they are buried.
Because, what they are conducting is the most dangerous experiment in the world, and it is also the most secret thing in the Han family at present.
Except for Liu Che, the emperor, and the Mohist elite who conducted research and experiments here, there were no more than ten people in the whole world who knew about this place and the specific research projects here.
Ji Di looked at these tombs, and he was also silent.
Even if Ji Di is not a disciple of the Mo family, and he does not believe in Mo Zhai's statements and concepts, he still has great respect for these venerable heroes.
He silently took off his hat and stood behind Liu Che, saluting these heroes.
Because, the spirit of these people shocked him too much.
They are just like the ancient Mohist disciples recorded by the sages in their books, for their own Tao and reason, one after another, and they will not turn their heels.
Ji Dian has even witnessed the tragedy of three generations of fathers, sons, masters and apprentices dying in experiments.
However, the surviving ink artists did not even have time to wipe their tears and continued to devote themselves to the experiment.
Such people are terrible!
Ji Di even doubted that if they put such spiritual perseverance into the political arena to study, I am afraid that the current Confucianism and Huang Lao will be beaten into scum.
Fortunately, these fearsome and respectable rivals and friends have little interest in politics.
All they want is their ideal world.
The world that loves both non-attack and Shangxian.
"Your Majesty......" A middle-aged ink man walked over silently, bent down slightly and said: "Your Majesty doesn't have to grieve and grieve for them, they died as they deserved......"
Liu Che closed his eyes, in fact, he didn't know whether his decision was right or wrong.
After all, the people who are sleeping here are the most elite part of the Mo family.
If he doesn't decide.
Among them, there may be people who become the founders of China's chemical foundation, some people may become the founders of China's physics, and maybe even some people can become China's Galileo, China's Bruno.
But now they are dying in obscurity.
The vast majority of people's tombs are even just mounds of clothing.
Of course, Liu Che also knew very well that they did die well.
Because, their sacrifice paved the way for the latecomers and pointed out the direction for the latecomers.
Now, China has mastered a situation that will take at least a hundred years for other countries and nations to find a way out -- and if there is no one to guide them, they will not even know for the rest of their lives, what exactly is China's mastery?
Nitrification - glycerol.
Natural raw materials can be found in the brain oil of whales, especially in right whales.
And the difficulty is how to make it BOOM.
Especially the safe BOOM.
And for the sake of exploration and discovery, the scholars of the Mo family paid the price of blood. (To be continued.) )
