Chapter 16 Three Thousand Heroes (Part 2)

As he spoke, he walked closer and saw two oval vertical furnaces with ten people standing on the ground, about twelve or three people thick, and two tall chimneys were emitting thick smoke. There were two sleeping furnaces next to the vertical furnace, and there were several windmills next to the furnace. Seven or eight donkeys kept turning around under the drive of workers. The air kept swelling into the furnace, and whirring flames and laughter kept coming from the furnace.

Li Jun climbed up the stairs and walked up the escalator to the vertical furnace. Chen Bi and the others hurriedly followed behind. First, they went to the iron smelting furnace to look at it, and said, "The fire is coming soon."

"The Emperor's Holy Wisdom!" Chen Bi said with a little excitement: "Just wait until the steel is released, you can put the molten iron. If the Emperor doesn't come again, I will go and invite the Emperor."

"Oh, so it's my fault that you are delaying and delaying." Li Jun said with a smile.

Chen Bi hurriedly explained: "It's not that meaning, it's not that meaning. The emperor must not misunderstand it, never misunderstand it."

As soon as Chen Bi finished speaking, Gundam's voice sounded, saying, "I think you did it on purpose." Chen Bi was so scared that he begged for mercy and said, "General Gao, don't talk nonsense, I don't mean that." Gundam pressed his right hand on Shen Bi's shoulder and said, "It's okay to ask me not to talk nonsense. Tell me what this steelmaking is like."

Chen Bi looked at Gao Da's show and didn't tell me the truth. I wanted you to look good. My heart skipped a beat and I had to beat the white flag and said, "General Gao, this vertical furnace contains coke and iron ore, which are layered. Coke is a secret material that we have never used to smelify iron in the past. The emperor asked us to burn it with anthracite. This is a good method. The pig iron refined is both abundant and of good quality. This sleeping furnace is used to store heat, and the heat inside can be recycled to reduce fuel consumption."

Gundam didn't understand these technical problems. He touched his head and said, "What kind of sleeping furnaces and vertical furnaces? What is the circulation? I don't understand, I'm confused. My mind was originally clear, but after saying this, it turned into a ball of paste."

Huang Yongshan was excited when he heard this and nodded, "It's wonderful, wonderful and wonderful."

He was both praised and praised. Li Jun heard it in his ears and smiled in his heart, thinking that this is a common and important thing in modern times, they regarded it as an amazing invention. If they knew that a furnace of steel could produce tens of thousands of tons in modern society, what would they say? Maybe they would fall their eyes to the ground.

While thinking, Li Jun came to the steel stove and looked through the observation hole. He saw waves flashing inside and said, "The heat is here, you can put it."

Before Chen Bi could speak, Gao Da spoke first: "Look at your appearance, you will definitely wait for the emperor to give orders, right?" He really told him correctly, Chen Bi said: "General Gao is right."

Gundam threatened: "Let's agree first. If you make a problem and don't create a good weapon for me, I won't spare you." He bulged his big muscles, showing that he was a muscular man.

In order to relieve the situation, Li Jun said, "General Gao, don't worry, there will be no problem. Ask them to let go." Li Jun thought to himself that in the time and space he came, this technology had already been formed. After using it countless times, there would be no problem.

"Of course there will be no problem, there will be no problem. Haha, there will be good weapons soon." Gundam kept nagging, like an old child, which made Li Jun and the others unable to help but smile.

After the sank, the iron rolled out with a shout of outburst. The fire was shining in the sky and the red stars flashed. Huang Yongshan, a technical expert, Wen Tianxiang, Gao Da, and Zhao Qian, had never seen it. They were all shocked, their mouths opened wide and their chin almost fell off.

"You are also surprised, like the same as when I first met you." Shen Bili thought, directing people to release water. Two rows of cold water were released, and hissing sounds kept coming, and white smoke rose, making people unable to see things clearly.

The smoke dissipated, and pieces of steel ingot were lying quietly in the casting tank, with a total of tens of thousands of pounds.

In ancient times, steel was forged from pig iron, and it was knocked out by blacksmiths one by one. To get a good piece of steel, it had to be hammered dozens or even hundreds of times. This is the origin of the idiom we usually say "a hundred times are refined into steel".

No one present had seen so many fine steel except Li Jun. The excitement was no longer something that could be described by the pen and mo. After a long time, Li Jun could still clearly remember the scene at that time: their reaction was too unexpected to me, and it was not as quiet as I expected. It was quiet at first. Suddenly, quiet at the quiet time was no longer there, and there was a lot of crying. People hugged each other and cried. Even Gundam, Wen Tianxiang and the others couldn't help crying. Gundam was crying while muttering: "The Song Dynasty is saved, and the Song Dynasty is saved." When the people present heard his self-talk, they nodded and said yes. I also cried so hard that their noses were sore, and they couldn't help but shed tears.

The people who woke up rushed up to carry steel ingots, Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Qian, Huang Yongshan, and Chen Bi were all in person. Gundam was the most active, with one piece of his left hand and one piece of his right hand, as if the heavy steel ingots were very light. Looking at the expression on his face, it seemed like he was twenty years younger, and he was giggling while moving.

Huang Yongshan stroked the steel ingots and murmured to himself with love, saying, "Now, with so much steel, I will make as many weapons as I want to build. First build steel crossbows, then build muskets, so that the Tartars can taste the power of my weapons."

Li Jun patted his shoulder and said, "The steel crossbow must be made and placed first. The second is the saber, spear, armor, and finally the Fire Department."

Huang Yongshan asked a little unwillingly: "Master, why is this?"

"The performance of the Fire System is not very good. It is not easy to use the steel crossbow. If there is no conditions, it is not too late to rebuild it." Li Jun comforted him, thinking to himself: You have never seen such a kind of *, and you will not know his shortcomings.

Li Jun pointed and said, "After the steel crossbow is built, we need to make 30,000 sabers, 30,000 spears, 30,000 pairs of chain mail, 100,000 pairs of plate armor, 100,000 steel knives for infantry, and 100,000 shields. We need to use iron stripes, and 30,000 pairs of horseshoes. How much steel does this require?"

Huang Yongshan and Shen Bi were so scared that their mouths were trembling and said, "Your Majesty, do you want so many? I thought only a few thousand were enough."

Wen Tianxiang, Zhao Qian and Gao Da were very happy when they heard Li Jun's words that seemed to be the gospel of God. Gao Da was the happiest, patted Huang Chen and his shoulders and said, "What's wrong? Do you want to be lazy?"

"General Gao, be gentle, you will be fine, and your bones will be broken." Huang Yongshan muttered and ran away. Chen Bi was following in his footsteps and avoiding Gundam from afar.
