Chapter 181: Steel is baked

After pacifying these excited bandits, Zhou Yang gathered all the blacksmiths on the cottage and began the iron-making experiment.

Speaking of which, these blacksmiths more or less know some knowledge of ironmaking.

However, the iron-making techniques they knew, compared to Zhou Yang's techniques, were not half a star worse.

That's why Zhou Yang insisted on waiting until he came before teaching them to make iron.

Although in the previous life, Zhou Yang did not do it himself, but compared to these blacksmiths, his hands-on ability is not good, but the theoretical knowledge is definitely leveraged.

Zhou Yang only needs to command these blacksmiths to do it, the hands-on things are done by the blacksmiths, and the things commanded are handled by himself.

After a day and a night of hard work, everyone finally waited for the time to produce results.

By the afternoon of the next day, everyone had gathered in front of the iron-making furnaces, waiting for the molten iron to be in them.

With Zhou Yang's greeting, several blacksmiths pulled the long rods in their hands violently, and a stream of molten iron slowly flowed out of the iron-making furnace.

The fiery red molten iron suddenly reflected the sky that was about to darken into a blood-red color.

As the molten iron flows into the molds prepared in advance, they are melted into rods and sheets of iron.

The mold is made like this, and it only needs a little processing to make the weapons that Zhou Yang and them need, and it doesn't take much effort.

Looking at the furnace of molten iron out of the pot, although Zhou Yang had no expression on his face, he couldn't help but get excited in his heart.

And there was a slight feeling of nervousness.

Strictly speaking, this pot should not be molten iron but molten steel, which is made according to the steel standards of later generations.

Therefore, when you run away, you must melt into the shape you need as much as possible.

Because it takes a lot of effort to forge the steel.

Wait for the molten iron to arrive in the mold and slowly solidify and form, and then cool it down.

Zhou Yang's heart also came up, just to see what is the quality of the first pot of steel here?

If you can, then you can naturally follow this standard, and if not, you will have to try it a few more times.

Now Zhou Yang is not afraid to try, but the most important point is that the time is relatively tight.

He ran out of the house because he was sick, and if it took a long time, it would definitely arouse the suspicion of some people, especially that Zhao Huan.

If he breaks into his house and finds that he is not there, this will make some sense.

Zhou Yang believed that Zhao Huan would definitely be able to do such a thing.

After the molten steel solidified, the blacksmiths hurriedly stepped forward to check, and struck back and forth with the hammer a few times.

After this inspection, the craftsmen immediately stayed where they were, with an incredible expression on their faces.

Zhou Yang couldn't help but be a little nervous when he saw them like this, but he still endured it and didn't ask questions, just waiting for these people to speak by themselves.

After a long time, one of the craftsmen finally reacted and shouted loudly.

"It's done, it's finally done!"

The look on his face was extremely excited, as if he had seen some miracle.

"Your Highness, this steel has finally succeeded!"

"And looking at the strength, hardness and toughness of steel, it is much stronger than what we forged in the capital before."

The look on the face of the old man who took the lead was extremely excited.

I'm afraid he wasn't so happy when he got married and entered the cave house, but now he can't help himself with excitement.

"This is the most powerful material we've ever seen in our lives, and if it's a weapon, it can be said to be like sharpening iron like clay."

"Yes, such a good material, I'm afraid that even the weapons prison in the capital can't make it, let alone those that the marshal didn't use, and even the sword used by His Majesty today is not worth mentioning in front of these steels."

At this point, the blacksmiths were already a little crazy.

As blacksmiths, they naturally care very much about these extremely fine materials, and the furnace of steel they have now trained is the best and most elite material they have ever seen in their lives.

But after the initial surprise, the faces of these people showed a little worry.

Seeing their reaction, Zhou Yang couldn't help but ask.

"What's going on? Is there any difficulty that can't be solved? ”

Among them, Zhou Yang asked these craftsmen no longer grinding, and directly expressed the doubts in their hearts.

"Your Highness, if you want to talk about it, these materials are indeed good, but while these materials are strong, they are also extremely difficult to forge."

"I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort to make these things into weapons."

Hearing what these craftsmen said, Zhou Yang also nodded knowingly.

Naturally, these problems have been considered for a long time, and while the steel is strong, it is also more difficult to build.

Naturally, there is no way to take care of all aspects!

But at this time, the bandits who had been watching the personnel were watching from the side, and the expressions on their faces were a little strange.

Just now, they clearly heard what Zhou Yang and these people were saying.

Especially the name of these people for Zhou Yang, they heard it very clearly, and the name of these people to Zhou Yang was His Royal Highness.

Who else can be called His Highness in this world?

Naturally, they are the princes of the capital.

However, these bandits still couldn't believe that the dignified prince would appear in their cottage, and they were tied up in the cottage, and finally turned around as the big boss of the cottage.

They can't figure this out!

Put down the good, the prince is not appropriate, and in turn get together with them to be bandits, no, now it should not be said to be a bandit, but to tinker with these messes.

It's digging stones, it's ironmaking, and most importantly, looking at this posture, His Royal Highness the prince in front of him is planning to forge weapons at all!

"You...... Is it His Royal Highness? ”

Finally, one of the bandits couldn't help but ask.

Now that they have heard the content of the other party's conversation, and they have no intention of inviting the man, then prove that they can know.

Instead of constantly guessing there, it is better to ask in a bright and open mouth.

This one of the bandits spoke, and the rest of the bandits also looked at Zhou Yang with blank eyes, and always replied with Zhou Yang.

They are also very curious about Zhou Yang's identity now, originally they thought that Zhou Yang was just a powerful son of Qin or Wei.
