The guards next to him all looked nervous.

They all wonder now that their Royal Highness the Prince is stupid again?

Especially Zhao Wuyang, he had already raised his heart to his throat, and he was about to enter the territory of the Qin State, but as a result, this bullying His Highness made a stupid mistake again, so when he arrived in the Qin State, he was only ridiculed for his fate.

Now Zhao Wuyang didn't dare to interrupt Zhou Yang easily, so he could only accompany Zhou Yang there to carefully watch the situation in front of him.

I saw that the flames slowly grew up, and enveloped all the black stones.

It burned for almost a quarter of an hour, and everyone's eyes changed like the black stone.

Their eyes were getting brighter and brighter, and they gradually revealed an incredible look.

I saw that there were some faint red lights and flames on top of the black stone, and it was obvious that this was a sign of burning.

"Quick, pick these black stones aside with a branch."

Under Zhou Yang's order, the guards next to him also hurriedly picked aside the black stone that was already red in front of him.

After leaving the pile of dry firewood, the flame on the black stone in front of me did not go out, but felt like it was burning more and more.

Zhao Wuyang next to him couldn't help but want to reach out and touch it to determine if the stone was really burning.

He stretched out his hand and slowly approached the burning coal.

Zhou Yang didn't stop him, but looked at it with a smile.

I saw that when Zhao Wuyang's hand was about to get close to the coal, he suddenly felt that there was heat coming, and the closer he got to the coal, the more hot his hand felt.

"Can this stone really burn?"

Zhao Wuyang's face was full of incredulous expressions.

Several of the other guards couldn't help but reach out and give it a try, and when their hands quickly approached the coal, they felt a hot patch.

"It's really strange, this is the first time I've encountered such a situation, and a stone can be burned?"

"That's amazing, isn't it?"

"Could it be that our Seventh Highness knows immortal arts, and it is impossible to cast immortal magic on this stone?"

The nurses next to him were all talking nonsense, and they were all guessing there.

Anyway, the more they guess, the more outrageous it becomes.

Even guessed that Zhou Yang knew how to use immortal arts, and some people were eager to try it, it seemed that they wanted Zhou Yang to show them something.

"Well, don't be there with false rumors!"

"Where can there be any immortal magic in this palace, this thing is called coal, and it is generally buried underground, very deep."

"It's just that what we encountered this time belongs to the surface layer, and it can be regarded as an open-pit coal mine."

The joyful expression on Zhou Yang's face couldn't hide it at all, and it could be seen from the burning of the coal just now that the heat of this thing was still very high.

It is even comparable to the high-quality coal of later generations.

The only drawback is that the smoke is relatively large, and the smoke makes people cough.

But this is easy to solve, just wash the coal with water, and it can be much better.

As long as you have this coal, it will be much easier to train steel in the future, and you don't have to go through the effort to cut down the trees on the mountain, you just need to let those strong laborers mine the coal and transport it down the mountain.

"Okay, put out these fires, let's go back to the cottage now, and then let people mine all these black stones and transport them to the cottage."

After speaking, Zhou Yang got up and walked towards the cottage.

It stands to reason that there is coal here, so the iron-making furnace should be built nearby, but after all, this is on the mountain, and when the iron is made, it will definitely produce smoke, and it will be easy to be found from outside.

Therefore, it is still necessary to put some effort to place the iron-making furnace near the cottage, on the one hand, it is easy to hide, and on the other hand, it can better protect its strategic facility.

As long as there is steel and coal, then you are not far from making something modern.

After all, the foundation of industrialization is steel, and with steel can more things be made, and with coal can more power be generated.

After returning to the cottage, Zhou Yang also arranged for people to go up the mountain to repair the road without stopping, and transported these iron mines and coal mines on the mountain to the cottage below.

Those original bandits, and now the strong laborers are busy there, doing hard work.

Zhou Yang gathered the remaining blacksmiths together and explained to them how to make iron next.

The technique of ironmaking is difficult to say, easy to say and easy to say, under Zhou Yang's general explanation, these blacksmiths who already knew something about the practice quickly understood the main points.

Of course, this is just a preliminary understanding.

In order to reach the ripe conditions for ironmaking, there must be at least enough iron ore and coal.

And when the iron-making furnace is being built, it will take at least a month to build it at this rate.

The next thing these blacksmiths have to do is to make some preparations in advance, and after all the conditions are ripe, they will strive to be able to smoothly refine the first pot of molten iron.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the first pot of molten iron can be practiced, then the situation will be much better.

The rest only needs to be figured out by these blacksmiths themselves, and they can be solved.

After giving these blacksmiths enough theoretical training, Zhou Yang arranged all the things in the cottage before preparing to go down the mountain.

After all, the purpose of his trip is to go to Qin, and now that he has reached the border of Qin, he can't delay it for too long.

After a month, what should be prepared in this cottage is almost ready, and then I will come over and practice iron by myself.

After arranging everything, Zhou Yang left the cottage with Zhao Wuyang, Liu Qian'er and a hundred guards.

This time, when he went down the mountain, he didn't lead the bandits to guide him, he found a map from the one-eyed dragon's room, which was the map in the cave under the mountain.

When the bandits occupied this place, they also explored the cave for a long time.

Presumably, that one-eyed dragon was also the first to discover here, so he became Zhou Yang here.

But now all this has changed hands, and now this cottage is completely attributed to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang has been on the mountain for two days, but the bottom of the mountain is almost overturned.

The Qin State mobilized a large army to gather in the border cities, and at the same time, many scouts leaned in the direction of the Wei State.

After all, this time, but King Qin's grandson was kidnapped by bandits, no matter what, this is an extremely serious matter.

Qin and Wei were originally full of contradictions, and the king of Qin was naturally suspicious of Wei.
