Tang Yong, who originally had a sad face, just heard someone shouting him, and suddenly walked out in confusion.

After all, I hadn't seen this new master with my own eyes, and I hadn't heard Li Yue's voice.

"Who is it? Dare to call our young owner by his name. ”

Kou Ze looked angry and hurriedly rushed out.

But when he rushed out, there was no sound, Tang Yonggang felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly rushed out.

As soon as I rushed out, I saw that the entire courtyard was full of soldiers on war horses.

And everyone is very well-dressed, and it feels even more powerful than the legendary Jinyiwei.

Although Tang Yonggang thought so in his heart, he had never seen a Jinyi guard wearing a flying fish suit and holding an embroidered spring knife.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? Don't you know that this is the place of the officials? ”

Tang Yonggang said with a solemn face.

Hearing this, Li Yue began to look the person in front of him up and down, and couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, you are the young owner of this ironsmith! To introduce me officially, my name is Li Yue. ”

Li Yue turned over and dismounted, walked in front of Tang Yonggang, and looked at this man who was only five or six years older than himself.

"You are Li Yue...... Yes! Li Yue. ”

Tang Yonggang muttered in his mouth, as if he knew something big, and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Young master, I didn't know that you came, you missed the distance, you were offended just now, please forgive me."

Tang Yonggang said with a frightened expression.

"It's okay, you and I haven't met, it's excusable, now I just want to know if the quality of the steel you ask me for can be made?"

Li Yue asked with a solemn expression.

Tang Yonggang, who was still honestly afraid, immediately became even more desperate when he heard about the steelmaking.

"Young master, the villain is incompetent, and I can't live up to the trust of the young master, I really can't refine the steel filled by the young master."

Tang Yonggang said with a crying face.

Seeing such a scene in front of him, Li Yue was also a little dazed.

Originally, I never thought that with the current smelting technology, I could temper excellent steel.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that Tang Yonggang was actually tortured by his own request and cried.

How can he be a man in his twenties crying like this, it really makes people feel a little frightened.

"Don't be like this, since you can't do it, then think of a way, how can a big man cry like this, how can he refine excellent steel."

Li Yue looked dazed and hurriedly persuaded.

But Tang Yonggang still knelt on the ground and wept, as if he was about to give up this glorious task.

"Young master, my subordinates are incompetent, please condemn me, I don't have any other requirements, I just want to die, but can I save my family?"

Tang Yonggang looked at Li Yue with a begging expression, as if he was ready to die, but he didn't want to affect his family.

Hearing this, Li Yue suddenly looked confused.

In his opinion, even if he can't do it, he will not cut down the whole family, and even the person concerned will not behead and apologize.

"If you can't do what you listen to, I'm going to cut off your head, okay, okay, hurry up, if you don't get up, I'll really shoot you."

Li Yue looked a little angry, as if what he said was non-negotiable, and even took out the fire gun from his arms.

Hearing these words, and seeing the firearm in Li Yue's hand, Tang Yonggang could only stand up hard.

"Young master, but I didn't complete the task you assigned on time, how can this punishment be avoided?"

Tang Yonggang said nervously.

"Can't you finish this task, and you have to be punished to be at ease?"

Li Yue looked a little helpless, feeling that the man in front of him was not the kind of person who gave up easily.

Unexpectedly, after only a few days of work, I would rather die than make steel again.

"Young master, you don't know, after the first batch of refined iron ore arrived, I began to refine several furnaces repeatedly, and after completion, all of them were not compliant, I really can't help it."

Tang Yonggang looked loveless, and he was very aggrieved when he spoke.

With a crying voice and a convulsive look, the tears still couldn't stop flowing out.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the man in front of him, Li Yue was also a little helpless.

"This is an imported musket from the Francis, why does their steel last for years without exploding? But our firecrackers are gone. ”

Li Yue said with a puzzled expression.

Then he took the firearm in his hand to Tang Yonggang.

"Their forging process is different from ours, and the refining of steel is also different."

Tang Yonggang said with a solemn face.

As soon as he heard this, Li Yue began to recall some of the knowledge of steel refining that he had introduced when he was in school.

Steelmaking is a chemical reaction that requires ignition point temperature, tightness, and the successive addition of various rare metals to enhance the density of the steel to a state that is both hard and tough.

"Their forging technique is supposed to have mastered a simple machine tool cutting, in which a whole piece of steel is cut to cast the barrel and barrel of a gun."

Li Yue pondered for a long time and spoke eloquently.

Tang Yonggang, who was originally still sad, suddenly brightened his eyes when he heard Li Yue's words.

Especially when it comes to such a professional term as machine tool cutting, I am even more shocked.

Even in the mouths of the Francis, the term is only occasionally mentioned.

"Young master, Franky's machine tools, have you seen them?"

Tang Yonggang asked with a shocked expression.

Hearing this, Li Yue immediately became a little nervous, as if he was afraid that his identity would be exposed.

"I've just heard some Franky people say that you don't have to delve into their forging techniques, mainly refining steel."

Li Yue looked solemn and said with a serious face.

"Got it, young master, in fact, we have tried to add some other ores or white lime or the like, but the effect is not ideal."

Tang Yonggang's face was full of shame, and he lowered his head in the end, as if he didn't dare to look up at Li Yue's hot eyes.

"Raise your head and talk to me, the way you look makes me feel that you can't make good steel in your life."

Li Yue had a headache and was extremely helpless, as if he was angry with Tang Yong.

In fact, it is because I am regretting why I didn't learn how to produce alloy steel when I took chemistry class.

"Young master, as long as there is enough time, I believe we can refine the steel of the same hardness as you need, but now the time is too short."

Tang Yonggang frowned and said helplessly.

As soon as he heard this, Li Yue was also a little emotional, after all, he didn't know how to refine better steel, so he could only give up.

But when I think about it, I think that only good steel can make better firearms.
