Li Chengqian finally had time to devote to his career.
After all, he was determined to build a Mo Dao army that would be famous throughout the ages.
And before that army was created.
The most important thing for him now is to make the Mo Dao as soon as possible.
In order to make Mo Dao more lethal, he added many improvements to Mo Dao's original features.
First of all, in terms of material selection, he abandoned the original hundred-fold iron and thousand-fold iron of the Tang Dynasty.
After all, no matter how many times iron is tempered, it cannot compare to steel with some chemical elements added to it.
This time, he planned to use steel to make the Heng Dao and Mo Dao.
For a man in science and engineering, refining steel is something that can be found in junior high school textbooks, and he has already mastered it.
Therefore, he immediately devoted himself to the work of refining steel.
…
Inside the wind mill.
He looked at Li Chengqian busy here and there, sweating profusely.
Changsun Chong said a little puzzled: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
"Of course I'm doing some fun stuff."
Li Chengqian casually threw a piece of ore containing metallic elements into the furnace.
Then, he turned back to look at Changsun Chong and said: "Brother Chong, do you believe it, if I come out with this thing, it will shock the world?"
He looked at the furnace and then at Li Chengqian's confident expression.
Changsun Chong smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, I don't really believe it."
"Just don't believe it."
"Because you haven't seen something with your own eyes."
Li Chengqian's eyes were profound: "Your thoughts are still too conservative and outdated. If you can see those one day, you will understand what I am thinking..."
Hearing this, Changsun Chong turned to look at Li Chengqian, his eyes shining with a strange light.
To be honest, what Li Chengqian brought to this era There are too many miracles.
From the fireworks at the beginning, to the various delicacies, to the boats, there is so much.
Company commander Sun Chong was murmuring in his heart.
People of Li Shimin's age have changed something because of Li Chengqian.
But at his age, it stands to reason that this is when his imagination is most fertile and when he is most receptive to new things.
But he is just like the others who look down on Li Chengqian...
Thinking of this, Changsun Chong was stunned for a moment.
It seems that just as Li Chengqian said, his thoughts are indeed too conservative and outdated.
Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong were busy in the wind mill for three days.
For the past three days, the two of them had eaten and drank in the windmill, and their lives were not even as good as those of the blacksmiths outside.
But finally, the hard work paid off. After three days, Li Chengqian finally produced the first piece of steel of this era in this wind mill.
Although there are no high-power stoves now, the steel is not as hard as later generations.
But in this era, it is already an extremely rare metal material.
When they saw Li Chengqian asking someone to deliver the steel, a group of craftsmen were stunned.
"Look, what kind of metal is this shiny? Could it be meteorite from the sky?"
"It doesn't look like it. The meteorite is black in color, but look at this port. It's as bright as a mirror, and it can even reflect people's shadows."
"Oh my God, what has His Highness done? Is it possible that His Highness is really a constellation god from heaven who came to bless the Tang Dynasty, as rumored by the outside world?"
As ancient people, when had they ever seen steel?
Even the top craftsmen here have only seen things falling from the sky.
Just meteorite.
Nowadays, everyone regards this steel as a treasure when they see it.
In the end, everyone even argued for a long time about who could be the first to forge the steel.
Seeing such a scene, Li Chengqian and Changsun Chong looked at each other and smiled. .??.
Li Chengqian looked outside dreamily: "Besides, sometimes these craftsmen look quite cute."
"Who says it isn't?"
"How could they argue for so long over a piece of steel?"
Changsun Chong chuckled and said: "Have they forgotten that the money they earn is calculated on a daily basis? Isn't it possible to earn a day's money even if you rest..."
"You don't understand this."
Li Chengqian turned around and walked towards the furnace and said, "Humans, they only live for a few decades, so they must pursue something."
"Maybe you pursue fame and fortune, you may pursue power, you may pursue beauty."
Li Chengqian threw the cast iron that had been tempered once into the furnace and said: "But what these craftsmen are pursuing is nothing more than to be able to create a rare sword, and they hope to become famous all over the world and be famous forever.
.”
After hearing these words, Changsun Chong raised the corner of his mouth slightly, looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Then what is your highness' pursuit?"
"My quest?"
Li Chengqian thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Let all the people in the world have enough to eat, let the Tang Dynasty not be bullied by foreign enemies, and let the imperial court no longer be hijacked by others."
After saying this, he suddenly paused.
Immediately, he looked back at Changsun Chong and said: "If possible, let this prosperous age last longer..."
At least that way, there would be no modern history of humiliation like that of his previous life...
After hearing what Li Chengqian said, Changsun Chong also felt a little excited.
He looked at Li Chengqian with a moved face and said, "If His Highness has such a lofty ideal, Ambition and ideals are bound to go hand in hand in life and death."
"Just live, you don't have to die, it's not worth it."
"Okay, don't say these useless things. Now that we have successfully trained the first piece of steel, we will be very busy next."
After saying this, Li Chengqian walked aside and operated the iron ring sling on the furnace to straighten the furnace.
Then he called to Changsun Chong: "Brother Chong, add more wood to the fire!"
"good!"
Just now, Changsun Chong was still a little listless.
So now, he is definitely full of energy.
In this way, Li Chengqian made steel, and the craftsmen outside made iron.
But two days later, the first Mo Dao was created.
When Li Chengqian lifted up the Mo Dao, which had a one-meter-long handle, a one-meter-three-meter-long blade, and weighed thirty kilograms, everyone around him was dumbfounded.
After all, that Mo Dao is really intimidating.
This thing doesn't even need to be chopped on people's bodies, just standing like this is enough to scare people.
Changsun rushed to get another Mo Dao.
But with his strength, it's a bit difficult to even pick it up, let alone swing it.
He couldn't help but swallowed his saliva and said: "Your Highness, not just anyone can handle this knife..."
"Of course."
"You can imagine that in the future we in the Tang Dynasty will have an army. They are wearing heavy armor and holding swords. They will advance like a wall and destroy all the enemies they face."
Li Chengqian waved the Mo Dao in his hand and said with a longing expression: "This knife weighs more than thirty kilograms. If it is struck with one blow, not only a human being, but also a stone will be split into two."
Hearing this, Changsun Chong couldn't help but smile bitterly: "But your highness, this sword is so heavy. If it is covered with heavy armor, ordinary soldiers will not be able to wield it."
"You have made a knife that no one else can use..."
