Time flows.

In the blink of an eye.

Another half a year has passed.

In the past six months.

Xu was promoted to the Xu army and became a general.

He also continued to follow Xiao Dao Gu every two days to find an innocent Linggen woman.

In the past six months, although I have been looking for it relatively leisurely, I still found forty ordinary Linggen women and more than a dozen middle-grade Linggen women.

That's right, the harvest in the past six months has been not small.

At the same time, Xu Sheng went home at night and did not slack off to get these women pregnant.

Including Jiang Chuling, she is also pregnant again.

And Zhou Xiaoxun, Yang Yutong, Yang Yukan, Mu Tianyi, and more than a dozen other concubines have already given birth to Xu Sheng.

Now Xu Sheng's Linggen children have given birth to as many as nineteen.

Eleven were boys and eight were girls.

Xu Sheng was very happy about this.

Seeing that there are still a large number of wives and concubines waiting to give birth, Xu Sheng is very satisfied.

And after Zhou Xiaoxun, Yang Yutong, Yang Yukan and Mu Tianyi and others recuperated, they were already pampered by Xu Sheng again, and they were already pregnant with a new child.

Xu Sheng is also full of a sense of accomplishment in this regard.

And the ten middle-grade Linggen women who came to assassinate Xu Sheng in the first place.

After spending half a year of canary life, they have all been raised white and tender!

You should be sure that there are no toxins on your body.

Then they also conceived Xu Sheng.

Of course, when they give birth, it is estimated that it will be more than a year later.

As for Xu Longtao's side, there has been no movement in the past six months.

Xu Huateng also did not have any orders to replace the young marshal.

However, Xu Huateng often talked to Xu Sheng and Xu Longtao about major affairs in the world, and now the Chu clan is indeed getting stronger and stronger.

Even a warlord Jiang clan adjacent to the Chu clan has already been embezzled by the Chu clan on the territory of several cities.

The situation in the world is getting more and more anxious.

But Xu Sheng still didn't find oil or gunpowder.

However, Xu Sheng's steelmaking technology has made a breakthrough!

When he was on Earth, although Xu Sheng was not a major, he also knew a little.

Therefore, after he expressed some of his ideas, under the many experiments and research of many blacksmiths he found, a steel process that is more advanced than this world was born!

Better steel can be produced in large quantities.

This is very good news.

It made Xu Sheng feel excited.

With the blessing of this new type of steel that surpasses the current steel technology!

Their Xu Clan's equipment will be greatly enhanced!

Even if the Chu army supported by Hu Xinfeng has the blessing of the so-called God of War Soldier Book, it may not be able to defeat their Xu army.

When the time comes.

The Chu clan's combat strategy is a little smarter, but the equipment on the Xu clan's side is even more fierce!

It is not certain who wins or loses on both sides!

Of course, this steel wants to be popularized in the army, and the whole army should be equipped as quickly as possible.

Xu Huateng has to nod his head!

So this afternoon.

Xu Huateng and several other veteran heroes of the Xu family came to Xu Sheng's mansion.

Including the young marshal Xu Longtao also followed.

Of course, these people are absolutely trustworthy beings.

Aside from the internal power struggle, these people are definitely bent on the Xu family.

So Xu Sheng didn't avoid any of them either.

He directly showed the results of his new steelmaking method to everyone.

Some of the best weapons in this world are all honed by good blacksmiths, and they are not easy to practice.

But the equipment used by the soldiers in the army cannot be equipped with such good steel.

This is because it is difficult to produce in large quantities.

Xu Sheng studied on the earth and learned about the development of steel in the history of the earth.

He knows:

Pig iron is fired from iron ore, and the carbon content is about a little more than 2%.

The carbon content of wrought iron is less than 0.05%, which is refined by a more intelligent frying method.

Steel is iron with a carbon content of 0.05 to 2 percent.

That's why I want to make good steel!

In fact, the principle is to desperately toss the carbon content in the iron.

It was under the condition of grasping the principle that Xu Sheng proposed the research direction, which made many blacksmiths experiment again and again for so long, and now they have finally obtained results!

"Father and elders, what do you think of this knife? How about this armor? ”

After everyone arrived, Xu Sheng directly showed the results.

"This knife is incredibly hard and unusually sharp!" Xu Huateng nodded: "This is a good knife!" ”

Some of the core ministers of the Xu family around Xu Huateng also said again and again:

"This sword is similar to the one I got from the swordsmith before!"

"Fourteenth Prince, who did you get this knife from?"

"This armor is good, it should be from a famous artist, right? Its material requires a good swordsmith and a casting apprentice, and it must be hammered day and night! ”

They sighed.

"Fourteenth brother, what do you mean by this?"

Of course, Xu Longtao asked: "Just because you have a good knife and a good armor, you have to call your father and all the elders to come and see?" ”

Yes, such swords and armor are basically some in the mansions of Xu Huateng and Xu's ministers, after all, some casting masters can still make them after careful production.

"This knife is not from a famous artist! It's made by ordinary foundry workers in my house! ”

Of course, at this time, Xu Sheng shook his head and said directly: "I know, you are still confused!" But I'll just say that, what would happen if this kind of steel could be produced in large quantities? ”

Hearing Xu Sheng's last sentence, Xu Huateng, who was present, and all the important ministers who were present suddenly widened their eyes!

Everyone looked at each other, and their faces immediately changed.

Realized the importance of this matter.

"What? Fourteenth brother? What do you mean by that? ”

Xu Longtao's face changed: "Do you mean that you can make such a good knife and such armor not be able to produce such a good knife in large quantities?" How is this possible? Such a good knife is impossible for a non-casting master to make with time, effort and effort! ”

"Little Fourteen, what's going on?"

Xu Huateng also coughed and asked excitedly, "Is this true or false?" ”

The other important ministers also looked at Xu Sheng in dismay.

Xu Sheng could certainly understand their shock.

After all, the steel technology that Xu Sheng has taken out now is beyond the level they have seen in this era!

This is the so-called dimensionality reduction strike.

It's like when you're on Earth.

While you're still running on the ground in a car, suddenly someone pulls out a flying machine and tells you that now you can fly in the air to school or work as long as you put on a flying machine like a backpack.

You'll also be as shocked as this group is right now.

"I'm not kidding!"

Xu Sheng said: "If it weren't for the results, how could I invite my father and all the important ministers of the humerus to come here!" ”

As he spoke, Xu Sheng turned his body around, raised his hand and invited everyone to join him in the steelmaking experimental base in the mansion to visit.

And let the foundry workers refine a furnace of good steel with their own hands!

Let everyone see the time it takes to form and the cost of materials!

"How is this possible? How is this possible! ”

Xu Longtao was incredulous: "Such a good steel, so quickly practiced?" And just an ordinary foundry worker? ”

"Little Fourteen, what the hell is going on!"

Xu Huateng's face was also flushed with excitement, and he looked around the steelmaking furnace: "How did you do it?" How? How did you achieve this amazing result! ”

Faced with everyone's shocked questions.

"After returning to the Xu clan before, I learned about the Chu clan's possession of the ebony military book!"

Xu Sheng also immediately replied: "So I feel uneasy!" After returning home, I have been thinking about countermeasures! The god of war Ebony is invincible in history, his wisdom in the art of war cannot be questioned, we can't get this book of war, it seems that it is difficult to defeat the Chu clan in terms of tactics and tactics on the battlefield! So I wanted to find another way! Tactically, we are outmatched, but if we can improve our equipment, then we don't know who will win or lose! ”

Everyone listened to Xu Sheng's speech with bated breath.

"In the past six months, I have been living and talking with soldiers in the army!"

Xu Sheng said: "Only then did I notice that the weapons used by the soldiers, as well as the materials of the armor, were relatively inferior!" In the past, I was all about martial arts, and I didn't pay much attention to these situations! So I started thinking of ways to improve my steelmaking skills! Therefore, I found these casting experts, and with their help, I experimented again and again to achieve the current results. ”

Xu Sheng also introduced the core talents in this casting base.

He is not stingy in giving them the credit.

"Actually, it's all the idea of the fourteenth prince, and we didn't think it was possible at first!"

One of the bald casting old men said: "Especially my old man was the most skeptical at the beginning! I feel that the fourteenth prince is whimsical! I didn't expect it to happen! The old man is really impressed! Compared to the fourteenth son, the old man, this is just a fool's casting for half a life! ”

The other foundry apprentices echoed the same words.

"I just came up with ideas!"

Xu Sheng said: "But it is you who tested it!" ”

Xu Huateng immediately said that all of them would be rewarded.

Naturally, all of these people thanked them happily.

Subsequently, Xu Huateng and a group of Xu family executives followed Xu Sheng.

Xu Longtao also followed behind dumbfounded.

"I first improved the furnace of steel!"

Xu Sheng explained to them: "Make it look like this, look, it is thin at both ends and thick in the middle, like a big waist drum!" Why is it set up like this? Because this shape ......"

In fact, Xu Sheng made the refining furnace.

It's just the blast furnace of the Song Dynasty on the earth.

It is already more advanced than the steelmaking furnace of this other world where Xu Sheng is now.

"Plus, I designed this, and it's called! Blower! ”

Xu Sheng pointed to another thing and said, "Its function is to increase oxygen intake!" ”

At the same time, Xu Sheng turned his finger again: "This is a waterwheel here, borrowing the power of flowing water to provide kinetic energy for the blower!" There's no need to have apprentices blow and fan stupidly next to them like the steelmakers of the old steelmaking masters! ”

Xu Huateng and Xu Longtao also have a kind of core ministers of the Xu family who can see and hear indistinctly, and look at each other.

"It can continue to rotate with flowing water, and continue to produce a never-ending power!"

One of the old ministers, who was in charge of manufacturing, exclaimed: "God, wonderful! The Fourteenth Prince is really a god and a man! The old man has been in charge of the Ministry of Engineering for half his life, and he has never seen such a wonderful operation. ”

And in the amazement of the crowd.

"In the past, some people forged iron and made steel, and they were quenched with water!"

Xu Sheng continued: "But I wonder if you can't change something? Would it be better to switch to something else? Therefore, we have experimented and found that using animal urine or animal fat can indeed achieve better results......"

The crowd listened with bated breath.

Even if you don't understand, listen carefully.

Didn't you see the big handsome people staring excitedly and listening?

Xu Sheng continued to introduce.

That's right!

The people in this other world where Xu Sheng is now quenching iron are just using water.

As if seen on television on Earth, blacksmiths would often put reddish pieces of iron into the water, then make a stabbing sound and a white mist rise.

And now the method used by Xu Sheng is nothing more than the double quenching method in the history of the earth.

This method emerged during the Northern and Southern Dynasties of the Earth.

As for the principle?

Grease can make the metal have good toughness, and it is not easy to deform and crack!

Urine contains salt so much that it can guarantee the hardness of steel!

The modern steelmaking of the earth before the crossing has actually developed to a level beyond what Xu Sheng is showing at the moment.

But Xu Sheng couldn't do it.

He can only do this now!

Of course, this degree is enough to reduce the dimensionality and attack the steel process of the current world.

"This matter must be kept absolutely secret!" After Xu Huateng listened, he solemnly ordered: "This steel process is my Xu's first top secret!" All craftsmen became top secrets. ”

"This is the law! My Xu clan's military strength will be strengthened! One of the important ministers said: "It can even directly affect the life and death of the Xu family!" ”

"The fourteenth brother has made a lot of contributions!" Xu Longtao also said astringently.

He was thwarted again.

He thought hard about the strategy of breaking the situation without a clue, and Xu Sheng came back half a year ago.

"The fourteenth prince is my Xu family's lucky star!" One of the important ministers even said this directly.

"The fourteenth prince has a big heart!" Several other important ministers said.

Because at this time, everyone knows that Xu Sheng and Xu Longtao have recently been discussed by various people about the change of young marshal.

In fact, with such a steel skill, Xu Sheng can hide it himself without taking it out.

Equip your henchmen and private soldiers, and wait for when the marshal Xu Huateng leaves.

Xu Sheng rose up in one fell swoop and won the position of marshal, which is very likely.

Of course, everyone thought of Xu Sheng who took the initiative to refuse the position of young marshal back then.

So it's understandable.

In short, at this moment, everyone understands that Xu Sheng took it out directly, and did not hide it, it was really for the sake of the overall situation of the Xu family.

Xu Sheng is indeed the same.

As for whether he can be a young marshal or a big handsome, Xu Sheng actually doesn't care so much.

What he wants is the destruction of the Chu clan and the capture of Hu Xinfeng.

"Little Fourteen, you can always surprise people!"

Xu Huateng also patted Xu Sheng's shoulder afterwards: "Unexpectedly, you have only been back for half a year, and you have solved the first major problem in your father's heart!" With this enhanced equipment, my father can finally rest assured, and I can finally sleep well tonight! ”

Signs of the Chu clan's imminent rise kept emerging.

Xu Huateng is very sensitive to the general trend of the world.

Of course he was aware of it.

That's why he often can't sleep.

This is one of the reasons why his health is getting worse and worse.

Of course, although Xu Sheng made another great achievement, Xu Huateng did not announce that he would replace the young marshal.

Xu Sheng didn't care about this either.

Xu Longtao also did not make a move on Xu Sheng.

Xu Sheng's life went on as usual.

In the blink of an eye, more than a year has passed.

Over the past year, Xu Sheng's new steelmaking method has been vigorously developed by Xu Huateng.

The equipment in the Xu army has a new look!

Combat power has increased by several levels.

And Xu Sheng's side intermittently found about sixty Linggen women.

Now all of them are pregnant.

Now Xu Sheng's women have reached more than two hundred.

And this day.

Xu Sheng's birth of Linggen children has reached two hundred!

"The goal we set at the beginning has finally been accomplished!" Xu Sheng also smiled at this.

looked at most of the two hundred wives and concubines in his mansion who were pregnant.

Xu Sheng felt that it was about the same.

After that, unless she saw a top-grade spiritual root woman, Xu Sheng, an ordinary spiritual root woman, was not ready to accept it again.

And the high-grade Linggen woman will no longer drown in the sea of people.

Therefore, Xu Sheng also asked Xiao Daogu to stop the operation of helping him constantly induct.

"Then there's only one last target left!" Xiao Daogu stood beside Xu Sheng at this time and said: "Fight for the authority of the world and capture Hu Xinfeng!" ”

And on the day they were talking, Xu Sheng suddenly received an urgent call from Xu Huateng.

When Xu Sheng went over to attend the meeting, he suddenly heard a shocking news.

Jiang Clan, a warlord close to the Chu clan, was attacked by the Chu clan and attacked the city overnight, and has now lost most of his territory.

And Xu Huateng analyzed that the Jiang clan is very likely to be destroyed!

Then Xu Huateng ordered, and Xu's entered a state of combat readiness!

After these words were uttered, the faces of everyone present changed.

"War is really coming!" Xu Sheng also said secretly in his heart: "Hu Xinfeng, Hu Xinfeng, you wanted to abolish me back then, imprisoned like a cow, don't blame me for abolishing your Taoism this time, imprisoned like **!" ”

Of course!

The end result.

It still depends on the fact that Hu Xinfeng blessed the God of War and the Chu army's army is stronger.

The Xu army is still equipped with the new equipment that Xu Sheng has made!
