In an instant, the beer in Li Er and others' mouths almost spurted out.
Damn it, if you sell this technology, I don’t know how many people will lose their money to buy it, okay?
In the Tang Dynasty, fatness was regarded as beauty in aesthetics. What does this mean? In fact, it does not refer to women. It actually refers to men. The stronger they are, the more beautiful they are.
Being strong means being able to work and fight.
If you go forward, you can travel thousands of miles to find a feudal lord; if you retreat, you can work in the fields and race cows!
It also means high income and good food!
Among the blacksmiths, there is basically no one who is thin, and all of them are as strong as anything.
That income is naturally self-evident, let alone a high-end blacksmith with secret techniques.
As a result, you...
Are you just saying "little tricks?"
Your Highness, you have created a new peak in the field of Chinese language and redefined the word "little skill"!
then……
Li Sheng said again:
"Actually, this matter is not that complicated to say. Ironmaking, in the final analysis... is to increase the furnace temperature!"
"As long as the furnace temperature can be kept at a high level, there will definitely not be too many impurities..."
Li Sheng also knew that Lao Li and the others must have been confused by the detailed metallurgical technology.
So let’s talk directly from the key points.
This is not difficult to understand. Before the rebellion with Liu Bei, Mr. Guan's job was to pull the bellows in the blacksmith shop.
What is this bellows? It is used to increase the temperature of the ironmaking furnace.
Mr. Guan Erye could just pull the bellows with one hand, and he could eat very well, and still have money to buy expensive bamboo slips and books. The end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was a time when famine was everywhere, refugees were everywhere, and the people were heartbroken by every thought.
It can be seen that Guan Erye's income is obviously high. You can imagine how important the bellows and the furnace temperature are!
Even more important than blacksmithing itself!
Although Li Er and others have never forged iron, they still have common sense.
Yes, that’s right, furnace temperature is indeed crucial to ironmaking!
So here comes the question...
"I wonder what this blast furnace is, Master?"
"Possibly refining refined iron?"
"How much can be refined every day?"
Everyone knows that Li Sheng can refine refined iron.
But the problem now is...the previous iron-making method was too time-consuming. It would take a blacksmith more than half a year to recast one hundred kilograms of iron into the refined iron produced by Li Sheng's iron-making technique.
This is the equipment of a hundred thousand Xuanjia Army!
In fact, there are so many blacksmiths and not so much time.
So Li Er was very irritable today when he heard that there was a problem with the iron materials in the factory.
I really don’t know that this conquest of the Turks will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey and the Horse.
But everyone asked a lot of questions...
Li Sheng frowned in displeasure.
"Are you kidding me, Jingte?"
"ah?"
Li Sheng's words made Li Er and the others panic.
Isn’t it right? You can’t refine refined iron?
If you can't refine refined iron, then... wouldn't it be even more impossible to refine iron that's on the same level as Li Sheng's hunting knife?
For a moment, I was greatly disappointed...
They all picked up their beer glasses and looked around.
Sure enough, His Highness is not omnipotent...
But then, Li Sheng said.
"Don't mention the so-called refined iron in front of me anymore. I don't even use Ah Huang's eating basin with that kind of thing."
After Li Sheng finished speaking, as if he heard Li Sheng's words, several dogs barked outside the door...
Woof woof woof!
Everyone was halfway through drinking beer.
I almost squirted before.
This time it really squirted.
Several pairs of eyes looked at Li Sheng in disbelief.
What's the meaning?
Refined iron, even for dogs???
Damn it, Your Highness, your tone is too loud!
…
The basin in which dogs eat food, in this era, is generally of course a pottery basin.
If you belong to a wealthy family, they usually use porcelain.
But no matter whether it's a wealthy family or an ordinary person, they don't know how to use hardware for dog feeding basins.
Not even copper can be used, let alone iron.
That price is too expensive!
And rich people would not use iron dog bowls to show off, because...ironware is not only expensive, but also a necessity in the homes of countless people.
The hoe must be made of iron, right?
The needle and thread must be made of iron, right?
There are all kinds of things...
It doesn’t all have to be iron.
But in this era, the price of iron products is really no joke, so no one is showing off about it.
Otherwise, Li Er wouldn't have been so angry that day.
But now, Li Sheng said...
Dogs don’t even need things like refined iron???
Then everyone was surprised.
This is so crazy!
And there is a vague feeling of group ridicule.
If you don't have any real skills, wouldn't it be better to go out and get beaten if you were laughed at by such a group of people?
Even Queen Changsun couldn't help but frown, this child talks too...
But.
Immediately afterwards, Li Sheng took out a small knife.
"This is real steel!"
…
This knife is only three inches long and is obviously a daily-use knife.
Everyone was stunned, and then Li Sheng touched his waist and took out another one...
This time, it was a black knife, about one foot and a half long.
It was the hunting knife that impressed Li Er so deeply...
"Sir, this is..."
"Old Li, don't say that I'm hiding something good from you."
"Look, this is how real steel is used!"
After saying that, Li Sheng held the silver knife against the blade of the black hunting knife.
Pull hard!
An incredible scene occurred.
Li Sheng actually used a knife to cut off the sharp blade of the hunting knife!
Cut iron like clay!
Bang!
Bang bang bang bang...
Several cups and plates fell directly to the ground, shattering into pieces.
Li Er was stunned.
This...this hunting knife is...
When he came to see Li Sheng, he brought him a sword from Lingyan Pavilion.
As soon as they met, he was cut into two pieces by Li Sheng's hunting knife!
This is the difference in materials, and it also allows Li Er to see the huge influence of new forging technology, new weapons... on the general trend of the world.
But today...
Seeing this scene, Li Er suddenly understood.
Li Sheng's power far exceeded his imagination.
This is not the reincarnation of Guigu Zhuge at all.
This is God!
Changsun Wuji looked surprised, but what surprised him even more was the reaction of this group of people.
Isn't it just a precious sword? It can cut ordinary iron. This is not that great, right?
So he touched Wei Zheng with his elbow.
"Old Wei, what on earth is going on?"
"Why do you all seem like... this knife doesn't seem to be anything?"
Wei Zheng smiled bitterly.
"Old Sun, do you still remember that Lao Li taught His Majesty the art of forging iron, and later His Majesty launched a major military reform, right?"
"The reason why I am able to touch Your Majesty is...because that day, Lao Li brought a sword to the Young Master."
"This sword is a sword that Lao Li spent a lot of money to collect and left behind. It was originally given to a close friend."
Changsun Wuji immediately understood that this meant that it was intended to be used as a gift for the Duke...
