Lu Daoyuan was also stubborn, and said that he wanted to find Zhu Di, so he really ran to Zhu Di to complain.

"Your Highness, that kid surnamed He doesn't understand the way of steelmaking at all, he is completely a deceptive and famous, I ask Your Highness to expel that kid surnamed He from the palace immediately!"

Lu Daoyuan's face looked angry, as if He Qiu had eaten his family's rice.

Zhu Di rubbed his eyebrows, and said helplessly: "Mr. Lu, please believe in the vision of this king, Mr. He is a talented person, and he is definitely not a deceitful and famous-stealing person as you said." Crafting an artifact is not something that happens overnight, you have to give Mr. He some time! ”

Lu Daoyuan stomped his feet and said: "Your Highness, you don't know what this kid has done these days, he has been ......"

Zhu Di interrupted: "This king doesn't need to know what Mr. He is doing these days, this king just needs to wait for Mr. He's results, Mr. Lu, you have worked hard these days, just don't go to the workshop for the time being, take a rest!" ”

Lu Daoyuan raised his chin and said: "The old man doesn't rest, Your Highness, you have been deceived by the kid surnamed He, I have to expose him in front of you!" ”

Zhu Di suddenly felt a headache.

This is too stubborn!

If it weren't for the fact that this was Zhu Di's father-in-law's men, Zhu Di would have sent his guards to fork him down.

"That's it, Mr. Lu, this king goes to Mr. He and talks to him, so don't go over for now, how about it?"

Zhu Di said patiently to Lu Daoyuan.

Lu Daoyuan thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness just went to see what kind of nonsense that kid is, and then His Highness will understand that what the old man said is true!" ”

"Then the king will go first, Mr. Lu, you can rest!"

After speaking, Zhu Di walked out of the study briskly as if the soles of his feet had been smeared with oil.

……

Blacksmith's Workshop.

He Qiu held a cigarette in his mouth and instructed the blacksmiths to work.

Cigarettes are naturally the reward for signing in during this time.

Smoking is harmful to health, and He Qiu didn't want to smoke it.

But if you think about it, this may be the only intersection between him and modern society.

So he happily smoked.

"Everyone, stir for a long time and add half a spoonful of the amount of chromium ore powder, and reduce the amount of nickel ore powder by one-third of a spoonful......"

The blacksmiths are now numb.

They didn't think about whether this furnace of molten steel would be wasted at all, they just needed to do what He Qiu said.

When Zhu Di walked in, he happened to see spoonfuls of mineral powder being poured into the molten steel, and the red color was instantly dyed mottled and variegated.

This made the corners of Zhu Di's eyes jump a little.

It really doesn't look like a serious steelmaking scene.

"Mr. Ho!"

Zhu Di greeted He Qiu, and then walked quickly to He Qiu's side.

He Qiu said lightly: "Has Your Highness received Mr. Lu's complaint?" ”

Zhu Di smiled awkwardly and said: "That's true, but this king didn't listen to Mr. Lu's words, Mr. He doesn't have to worry!" ”

He Qiu pursed his lips and said: "Actually, Your Highness can listen to Mr. Lu, suspend this matter, I can't guarantee Your Highness when the stainless steel used in improved firearms will be refined!" ”

Zhu Di was silent for a moment.

If he was rich now, he would definitely choose to support He Qiu without hesitation.

But in the final analysis, he is just the prince who has just become a vassal prince, and he has not yet gathered enough financial resources.

Even 5,000 catties of pig iron have to ask for help from their father-in-law, and they have no capital to waste at all.

He Qiu saw Zhu Di's hesitation, but he did not persuade, but continued to direct the blacksmiths to work.

After a long while, Zhu Di suddenly spoke: "Mr. He, within seven days, I will raise another 5,000 catties of pig iron for you, and you can use it however you want!" ”

He Qiu smiled.

is worthy of being a person who can be an emperor, this open-mindedness is absolutely amazing.

"Your Highness, there is no need to raise pig iron for the time being, I can give you a result today!"

He Qiu threw the cigarette on the ground and stepped on it, walked quickly to the front of the steelmaking furnace, grabbed a handful of chrome ore powder and threw it into the crucible, and shouted loudly: "Increase the firepower, the bellows accelerate!" ”

The apprentices hurriedly used the greatest strength in their lives to agitate the bellows.

In an instant, the flames in the steelmaking furnace rose to a high level, and the flames took on a bright white color, and even the air was scorched and distorted.

The hair of the people near the furnace was curled, and even their breath was burning.

He Qiu was also a little uncomfortable, but he still shouted at the top of his voice: "Work hard, what I want is almost done!" ”

At this time, the molten steel in the steelmaking furnace has gradually turned from mottled dark red to lighten, and everyone can see the difference.

The apprentices who were blowing the wind suddenly worked harder, and the muscles in their arms were all raised high.

Every time the bellows were pushed, the flames in the stove became a little stronger.

After about half a burnt of incense, the mixture in the molten steel completely disappeared and turned into a bright red color completely.

He Qiu picked up a scoop of cold water and poured it on his head, and then roared: "Baked!" ”

Ten old blacksmiths acted at the same time, pouring bright red molten steel into the ten sand molds that had been prepared long ago.

As the sand mold fills up, the molten steel begins to solidify slowly.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the sand mold, holding their breath and paying full attention, including He Qiu.

Up to now, there are 3,000 catties of scrapped pig iron.

If it is put into the 21st century, He Qiu doesn't care if he wastes another 10,000 catties.

But in this day and age, the price of pig iron was too expensive.

If the waste of these three thousand catties of pig iron has no results, He Qiu is really a little shameless to see Zhu Di.

After a stick of incense, the molten steel in the sand mold finally solidified.

Ten shiny blocks of steel appeared, without the slightest variety.

He Qiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then chuckled: "It's done!" ”

In an instant, the entire blacksmith workshop began to cheer.

Zhu Di walked up to He Qiu quite excitedly and stammered, "He ...... Mr. Ho, stainless steel ...... Refined? ”

He Qiu nodded and said, "Fortunately, I have fulfilled my mission!" ”

"Great!"

Zhu Di waved his fist, looking extremely excited.

He Qiu squinted at Zhu Di and said: "Your Highness, I advise you not to be happy too early, this stainless steel is also divided into standards, and the hardness of the stainless steel refined this time still needs to be experimented!" ”

Zhu Di paused for a moment, and then nodded busily: "Yes, yes, what Mr. said is very true, it should indeed be experimented again, this king is too anxious, how does Mr. He plan to experiment?" ”

He Qiu thought for a while and said, "Let's use the easiest method first, knife slash!" ”

After speaking, He Qiu pulled out the **** pinned to his waist.

Zhu Di rolled his eyes, grabbed He Qiu's wrist and said, "Mr. He, wait for this king to call Mr. Lu over, and then conduct the experiment!" ”
