Qiu Tie's ability to refine weapons is indeed very strong, but no matter how strong he is, he is the only one, and he can't play much role in the army, and the number of weapons needed in the army is too much, but Qiu Tie is a craftsman, and he can't refine many sophisticated weapons at all. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Why is the combat effectiveness of the White Elephant Legion in Tianqian City so strong, it is one of the best existences in the Chu State, and the sophistication of weapons is an indispensable factor.

In order to refine excellent weapons, there is a strong craftsman army in Tianyan City all year round, and the ability of this craftsman army to refine weapons is much stronger than Qiu Tie.

For this, craftsmen like Qiu Tie are well aware.

"Trench City.......... Lin Ze's tone carried a hint of yearning, the name of Heavenly Trench City, after Lin Ze came to Huangsha Town, he kept hearing people talk about it, saying how magnificent Heavenly Trench City was, and how powerful the White Elephant Legion was inside........... Wait, Lin Ze's ears were calloused when he listened to these contents, so Lin Ze also wanted to see this world-famous Tianqian City in his heart.

"Qiu Tie, don't be discouraged, I believe that in the future, your strength will definitely be able to catch up, or even surpass those craftsmen in Tianqian City!" Lin Ze encouraged Qiu Tie, he didn't encourage him indiscriminately, but he did have this idea in his heart.

The reason why the craftsmen in Tianqian City are so strong, in addition to the better quality of pig iron, is because they have a large number of weapons refining all year round.

The White Elephant Legion has to fight against the barbarian army every year, so their weapons consumption is extremely high, which means that the craftsmen in the Heavenly Trench City have weapons refining throughout the year.

In this way, over time, even a novice in refining weapons has been trained to become an elite-level craftsman.

Now Lin Ze is also constantly expanding his troops here, and correspondingly, the number of weapons needed has also increased dramatically, and at that time, Qiu Tie and they will have countless weapons to build every day.

If this continues, those ordinary craftsmen under Qiu Tie will sooner or later become elite-level craftsmen like Qiu Tie.

As for the difference in materials, Lin Ze laughed directly in his heart.

Lin Ze pondered for a moment on the side, and then continued: "Qiu Tie, I don't know if you've heard of steel?"

Qiu Tie was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then shook his head directly, Lin Ze couldn't help but be a little disappointed in his heart.

However, Lin Ze soon thought that maybe the name of steel on the Shenzhou Continent was different, so he quickly explained: "Qiu Tie, the steel I am talking about, is the kind of hardness that is higher than iron, but the flexibility is also better, and the weapons made of steel are much stronger than ordinary weapons......... Lin Ze kept describing the performance of steel to Qiu Tie.

"Oh, my lord, are you talking about Jingtie?" Before Qiu Tie could answer, a group leader behind him interjected directly.

"Fine iron?!Yes, it's fine iron!" Lin Ze's eyes lit up, on the earth, in some places in the feudal society, steel was also called fine iron.

"Do you know Jingtie?" Lin Ze asked urgently.

At this time, Qiu Tie hurriedly introduced this person to Lin Ze on the side.

"My lord, he is the leader of this iron-making team, Shen Lian, Shen Lian, come to the front and tell your lord what fine iron is like. Qiu Tie said to Shen Lian.

"Yes, my lord!" replied Shen Lian, his face a little nervous.

The biggest pipe Shen Lian had seen before was Qiu Tie, an eighth-rank official, and now when he saw Lin Ze, a third-rank official, his heart suddenly began to get nervous.

"My lord, when the villain was in Qingzhou before, I knew that some senior craftsmen in Qingzhou had a kind of refined iron in their hands, and these senior craftsmen used this kind of refined iron to refine some high-grade weapons, as far as I know, the characteristics of this refined iron are similar to the characteristics of steel you just mentioned. Shen Lian replied with a hint of nervousness.

Fortunately, Lin Ze has always been very gentle, so Shen Lian was able to explain things clearly without making mistakes, if it was an unsmiling official to ask, with Shen Lian's timid personality, hehe, it was possible that he would not be able to answer so smoothly.

"Oh, then do you know how they do it?, that is, how to refine iron, that is, steel?" Lin Ze asked with interest.

Steel is a symbol of industry, a symbol of strength.

The amount of steel production represents whether a country is strong or not, the more steel production of the country, the stronger the strength, correspondingly, the less steel production of the country, the weaker the military strength.

In modern times, why did China suffer such a heavy blow, and it was invaded by other countries more than once, and the steel production was underground, which is one of the reasons.

In ancient times, China was the most powerful country on the earth, at that time, the global economy, China accounted for more than half, why China was so strong at this time, of which the steel production far exceeded the sum of other countries, which is one of the very important reasons.

Therefore, Lin Ze attaches great importance to steel.

When Lin Ze was preparing to establish a force of his own, he was already planning to build a steelmaking furnace in his heart, but because of the sand thieves and the fact that the status of hundreds of households was too low, the establishment of a steelmaking furnace was just a plan in Lin Ze's heart.

At that time, Lin Ze wanted to build a steelmaking furnace, which was really inappropriate.

Now Lin Ze has cleared all the sand thieves around Huangsha Town, and wiped out 16,700 blood-clothed thieves at a very small cost, which deeply shocked the other sand thieves.

In addition, now Lin Ze has become the chief soldier, so he has the strength to build a steelmaking furnace.

This time, Lin Ze will come to inspect the craftsman camp, just to see if there is anyone here who knows how to make steel.

There is no need for him to know more about steel-making methods, as long as he knows some steel-making things, Lin Ze can set up a steel-making furnace.

The method of steelmaking, Lin Ze had collected a lot in order to enrich the knowledge of steel in the plane seed world before, so how to make steel, how to build a steelmaking furnace was not difficult for Lin Ze at all, and now all Lin Ze needed was someone who knew how to make steel.

Now Lin Ze seems to have found this specific person, and this Shen Lian in front of him is the best person in charge of steelmaking.

"Back to my lord, when the villain was in Qingzhou, he was just an ordinary craftsman, and those senior craftsmen would not teach the villain when refining refined iron, that is, steel, so the villain didn't know much about how to make steel, but he only knew some preliminary things, and if he wanted to refine the real refined iron, it seemed that he had to keep adding charcoal powder or something to the furnace, as for the specific proportion of increase, and at what temperature should he add it......... , these things are not clear to the villain. Shen Lian replied with a sense of concern, afraid that Lin Ze would be dissatisfied with his answer.

After hearing this, Lin Ze nodded with satisfaction, he knew that this was how the steel came from at the beginning, but this method of burning impurities with carbon powder could not create extremely high-quality steel, and this ratio, and what the specific temperature was, was indeed a very confidential matter.

This ratio, as well as the temperature control, as well as the addition time....... Wait, these secrets, in the modern earth, are extremely secret, don't know these things, even if you know what material this steel is made of, you can't make it.

There are many such examples on the modern earth.

For example, the strength of his steel is the best in the world, and other countries are constantly trying to imitate the high-grade alloy steel produced by the United States, but until now, there are very few successes.

With the technology of modern earth, it is easy to test the specific refining materials of those and refined steel in the United States, but even if others know the refining materials of this joint steel, it is difficult to refine the alloy materials that you want to figure out, beyond imagination.

In many countries, more than ten years of research have not been developed, why?

The reason is very simple, they can't test the specific order of adding alloys, they don't know what the temperature control is when adding alloys, they don't know how many times these alloys are added, what is the temperature of each addition, and what is the number of additions........ And so on, as long as one of these problems is not solved, then this alloy steel cannot be refined.

However, each of these problems is an extremely difficult problem, and it is really difficult for you to solve it.

Let's say, temperature control.

In modern refining alloy steel, the temperature control is directly accurate to the thousandth, or even the thousandth, so it is really difficult to find out the temperature of the struggle for such accurate temperature control.

Therefore, the United States can rest assured that they will sell their most powerful alloy steel to their allies, because the United States is not worried that its alloy steel will be copied by its own allies.

Those high-level craftsmen in Qingzhou who can refine refined iron must have the same reason, as long as they don't reveal the amount and temperature when adding carbon, then they are not afraid of being learned by others to refine the secrets of refined iron.

"Shen Lian, then why don't you try this method? Try to add toner yourself and make steel?" Lin Ze said curiously.

It is indeed difficult to refine alloy steel, but it is not difficult to make iron into steel, as long as toner is continuously added, it is actually very easy to experiment.

"My lord, I would like to test it, but ........." Shen Lian had a trace of embarrassment on his face: "My lord, such an experiment is very easy to fail, once it fails, it will often make the pig iron of better quality become scrap, and the price of those pig iron is not low, with our ability, we can't afford this kind of consumption at all, so we ..........." ”
