Even the craftsmen who participated in the experiment reminded Zhu Youxiao that blowing air without coke would cause the molten iron to solidify in the furnace.

It's just that Zhu Youxiao insisted on doing this, and the craftsmen had no choice, who made the family the emperor, this is naturally what others say, they can only do it.

However, to the surprise of the craftsmen, after the air was poured in from the bottom of the furnace, the situation was unexpected.

That is, the craftsmen originally thought that the molten iron would solidify when poured into the furnace, but the molten iron in the furnace slowly became as if it was about to boil.

There is some truth, Zhu Youxiao has no way to tell them, the reason why this stove will have such a magical impact is also very simple.

The manganese and silicon in the molten iron are first oxidized to form a brown smoke escape, during which the carbon in the molten iron is also oxidized to carbon dioxide.

If they had a thermometer to measure the temperature, they would have found that the temperature of the furnace had risen from 135 degrees Celsius when the molten iron was poured to about 1,600 degrees Celsius, and the reaction was very violent, like a volcanic eruption.

The whole process takes about 30 minutes, and it doesn't require any fuel, so you can make a furnace of steel. Eight Chinese Net

Next, he changed the furnace from a stationary structure to one side to make it easier to pour out the molten steel.

Make the steelmaking furnace a rotatable furnace, i.e. an converter.

The steel produced by Zhu Youxiao in this way directly reduces the weight of the musket by one-third compared with the original, and it is no longer the original lifting gun, and it can be operated and used by one person.

Even their artillery can also use such steel to create a steel refining efficiency, which is almost half the same as before.

The carbon content of the steel created by this method is much lower than that of ordinary steel, which gives the steel a more wear-resistant effect, the barrel becomes stronger, and the life of the gun is greatly increased.

Therefore, this kind of musket accessories that have just been created do not need to be as thick as the original, and the weight is much lighter than the original.

The important thing is that this musket can be changed from a horse and fired from a horse because of its reduced weight, which is an epoch-making product.

After Sun Yuanhua obtained this steel, he was also stunned after his trial of various methods.

When he was original, he thought that it was not easy for the quality of this new steel to rise slightly, but he didn't expect it to reach this level.

He couldn't wait to use this steel to forge the new Apocalypse II rifle, and he reduced the thickness of the original steel by a third, and the length by a little bit.

As for the structure of this rifle, it was still the original structure, and it only took him more than half a month to create three prototype guns.

At the same time, according to the new steel they used and the internal and external self-tightening technology provided to them by Zhu Youxiao, they also recast an artillery.

The weight of this gun was also reduced to only 2/3 of the original weight.

He couldn't wait to run into the Forbidden City and asked to meet the princes, and at this time Zhu Youxiao was practicing calligraphy in the palace.

He has been here for more than two years, and he can practice handwriting, and he is a little presentable.

Although he is not as good as a calligrapher, if he is posted on the Internet in later generations, it can also bluff people.

Zhang Tong walked into the palace, saluted respectfully to Zhu Youxiao, and said softly: "Your Majesty, Sun Yuanhua, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, has asked to be seen. ”

After Zhu Youxiao finished writing a few words in his hand, he gently put the pen on the other side.

"Call him in!"

Sun Yuanhua walked into the Qianqing Palace, and his face was still extremely excited.

He came to Zhu Youxiao and gave Zhu Youxiao a big salute, but he still couldn't hold back his excitement in his words.

"Your Majesty, there is great news!"

"We have forged three rifles and a cannon according to the method that His Majesty gave us in the year, and their weight has been reduced by more than one-third, and their power and safety have not been reduced in the slightest."

Zhu Youxiao was also quite excited when he heard this, which meant that the new army he really wanted to build would soon become a fact.

However, as an emperor, he still has a few emperors' physique after all, and he can't show his excitement too casually in front of his subordinates, otherwise it will be easy to be seen by others, and it will also seem that he, the emperor, has no city.

"Pass the order, let the commanders of their respective armies, as well as the ministers, go to Xinfeng County with them to see how powerful this new weapon is."

Zhu Youxiao's order was not only issued to the ministers of the eunuch party, not only to the commanders of the troops, but even to the ministers of the Donglin Party and those who rode the wall.

Especially after the eunuch minister received this order from His Majesty, his heart also jumped suddenly.

His Majesty had not summoned them on a tour for many years, and the deep meaning revealed in this inevitably made them have some illusions.

Since the last time Zhu Youxiao pitted the Donglin party members once, the Donglin party members have been in a state of malaise.

The eunuch party basically has a great right to speak above the court, if Zhu Youxiao does not speak, then the entire court is the master of the Donglin party.

This is one of the things in which many ministers of the eunuch party have asked Wei Zhongxian to tell His Majesty that now is the time to completely defeat the Donglin Party, and they should beat the water dogs and completely solve this Donglin Party.

But Wei Zhongxian did not express any opinion on these requests, nor did he encourage or refuse, and in the end, he directly closed the door of his house and closed the door.

There are some smart ministers who have slowly realized a little bit of Wei Zhongxian's meaning from Wei Zhongxian's actions, and they obediently retracted their heads and withdrew from such actions.

But there are some ministers who are relatively less flexible in their brains, and when they see Wei Zhongxian's state, they don't know what Wei Zhongxian thinks, but they just feel that Wei Zhongxian is old, and the power in his hands has basically been transferred to His Majesty's hands.

In their opinion, this is obviously because Wei Zhongxian is afraid that he will not dare to interfere in the affairs of the eunuch party, and relying on him will have no effect.

Since they were now in the hands of His Majesty, they simply wrote to His Majesty, and of course the content of the book naturally did not dare to raise any party disputes.

They just kept writing to impeach a large number of Donglin parties, asking His Majesty to remove these incompetent Donglin officials from the imperial court.

As a result, after these performances of the eunuch ministers went down, they sank into the sea, and there was no response.

These eunuch ministers couldn't stand it anymore, and soon organized a second wave of letters, but this time the result was even more unimaginable to them.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
