In the past, whether it was a blower or a steam engine, the test and operation were all discussed in the Imperial Study.

This time, the Ministry of Industry was able to play these things in the early dynasty, and it was also instructed by the emperor.

The emperor looked down with a solemn face, and Dong Bolin, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, came out of the queue and described in detail the operation of the iron smelting furnace that had been added to the blower link in the past few days after the New Year.

Later, it was extended to how much iron would be added to the Great Xia Dynasty if the blower was widely used in smelting. The abundant production of iron can expand the scope of use in various industries in the Great Xia Dynasty, which will greatly increase the productivity of various industries in the private sector.

Especially for the defense system of the border of the Great Xia Dynasty, the effect is even more powerful.

As soon as Dong Bolin's voice fell, Cheng Dahui came out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister still has something to say." ”

Cheng Dahui is one of the main forces in the later development of steam engines and blowers, and speaking at this time must be a favorable rhetoric for the application of the machine.

The emperor's jaw: "Cheng Aiqing, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Yes." Cheng Dahui bowed and said, "In the past, the main reason for restricting smelting technology was the smelting temperature. Because the smelting temperature of the iron smelting furnace cannot be increased, many materials cannot be better melted into the iron, resulting in the extremely single performance of the iron.

Nowadays, with strong blast performance, the iron smelting furnace can add many hard-to-smelt materials, which can be smelted together with iron ore, which can greatly enhance the strength of the iron produced. ”

For Cheng Dahui's remarks, the civil official didn't feel anything, but for the general, iron strength is an absolutely sensitive topic.

The military department Shangshu is a Confucian general, and he was very interested in Cheng Dahui's words, and immediately asked: "What Lord Cheng means is that in the future, the blades and tips of the swords made for our soldiers will be sharper, and it is not easy to roll the blade, and the penetration of the arrows will be stronger." Is that so? ”

Not only was the military department Shangshu excited, but the military generals in the court listened to the words of the military department Shangshu, and they all looked at Cheng Dahui with burning eyes.

There are not so many reasons and explanations on the battlefield, carrying a big knife and fighting non-stop for several hours in a row, that is a common thing.

In order to prevent the weapon from curling, the blade of the sword does not dare to be very sharp, for fear that the blade will often be cut on armor and club weapons, and it will quickly curl the blade.

Such a blade, between swings, will require a great deal of strength, and it will consume the combat power of the soldiers.

Conversely, if the material used to make the weapon is hard enough, then the blade can be made thin and sharp. With the same force, such a weapon can deal double the damage to enemy troops.

This kind of battlefield advantage, for the generals who are crawling on the battlefield with their heads in their hands, is synonymous with winning battles and reducing casualties among generals.

Although Cheng Dahui thinks that he is inferior to Wang Qiao and Shi Yin in many aspects, he has been immersed in the prison for so many years, and he still has some insight into the way of smelting.

The reason why the ancient famous sword is said to be a sharp blade is that there is a superb smelting technology, but more reason is that the furnace temperature is mastered, and the furnace temperature is increased in a certain way, and more other materials can be integrated into the smelting process, so that the material of the sword changes qualitatively and makes the material more tough.

Whenever he thought that after this, the Celestial Empire would create many weapons comparable to famous swords, Cheng Dahui couldn't hide his excitement.

He was so excited in his heart that he still left some room to speak: "My lord, it seems that there is indeed such a possibility. However, whether it is successful or not, it is necessary to gradually test it with a blower smelting furnace, and only with the smelting effect can a conclusion be made. But Xia Guan thought that it was very likely to succeed in strengthening the strength of iron. ”

The ancient famous sword, which is about to come out of his hand, will not live in vain in this life!

Cheng Dahui was thinking about smelting technology and the famous sword of the ancients. And the other generals in the court are thinking about the battle damage on the battlefield, and the improvement of the combat power formed by the superiority of weapons on the battlefield.

And the emperor thinks comprehensively, in addition to the battlefield, in addition to protecting the family and defending the country, there is also the people's livelihood, and a large amount of iron is used in the people, which can improve the labor force of the people.

When the people are rich, how strong will the country be?

Prosperous Dawner!

At this time, the emperor has almost degenerated to the same extent as Cheng Dahui, all for a certain dream in his heart.

Fortunately, the dreams of these two people are beneficial to the country and the people, what is that sentence called...... Fortunately, the world is very lucky, and the people are very lucky.

The emperor was extremely proud. The smelting technology handed down from ancient times has lasted for many years, and in his generation, there has finally been a breakthrough.

In recent years, the track technology has been applied, agricultural tools, construction tools, etc., plus the smelting technology that can almost change the pattern of various industries, as well as the application of the steam engine mentioned by Jinrong in other industries.

In the future, when historical books record these, they will always mention the dynasty, era, and year name, and they will solemnly write: These are all developed by the Qianqing Dynasty.

The generals and nobles in the court are whispering, and their expectations and thoughts are overflowing. Needless to say, these people are the greatest help in the development of industry and the improvement of the status of craftsmen after today.

This unexpected help really made the emperor very happy. With the support of these generals who had fought on the battlefield and had an upright temperament, the implementation of the new policy was much smoother than imagined.

When the mood of the generals was almost fermented, the emperor spoke: "Improving smelting technology is good for all industries in the world. The soldiers have more money to defeat the enemy and save their lives. For such a thing that is beneficial to the country and the people, the court must have an attitude. ”

The emperor glanced at the important ministers below with a solemn expression, and continued: "I have ordered the Ministry of Rites to arrange a date, and I will take the relevant officials of the imperial court to Huaiyuan County to see how the iron smelted with a blower is different from traditional smelting. ”

This is what the emperor said before, because the blower was just starting to be used, the use effect could not be guaranteed. Therefore, Jin Rong said that he had delayed the matter until now.

Now, the Ministry of Industry and the officials who will be in charge of the supervision have personally confirmed that the smelting technology has indeed improved. The emperor brought up the old matter again, and the ministers really had no reason to stop it again.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites and the four ministers of the Cabinet Department agreed to come down without interest.

Although I agreed, due to low enthusiasm, when everything was arranged, even February 2 passed.

It is said that the ninth day of the second month is a good day, and at the end of this day, the emperor left the palace.

In order not to be publicized, the emperor did not sit in the eye-catching bright yellow chariot, but wrapped in a black cloak, rode a horse, and went to Huaiyuan County surrounded by heavy guards.

The emperor's companions were all officials who were physically strong and skilled in horseback riding, so they were fortunate to chase the emperor's posture on horseback and gallop on the official road.

Several ministers and some old ministers took a carriage out of the city before dawn, hoping to arrive in Huaiyuan County one step earlier than the emperor. I want to talk about "Women's Beauty" with more like-minded people; Talk about life and find a confidant~
