Chapter 172 The method of blast furnace construction!
Li Sheng was really confused today. He really couldn't understand why Old Li was so interested in steel.
I couldn't help but frown,
"Old Li, you are too obsessed with money. Even if you want to work on a project to make money, you can't be so excited, right? Your health is broken. Be careful whether you make money or spend it in the future."
Empress Changsun smiled bitterly, "Alas...this old Li has always been like this. I hope the young master can learn from this."
Empress Changsun, these words are equivalent to a disguised warning to her son...
She was afraid that something might happen to her husband and children, and she didn't want to see anything happen.
But Lao Li woke up and strongly demanded to see the blast furnace.
Although Li Sheng was worried about Lao Li's condition, seeing how excited he was, he was afraid he would get even more excited if he didn't show him.
Okay, let’s go and have a look…
Soon, Li Sheng led Li Er and his party to an open space behind the mansion.
At this moment... I saw a seven or eight-foot high tower built diagonally behind Li Sheng's house. I don't know when.
When Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and others saw them, they immediately cursed in their hearts that their eyesight was really poor.
It was such an obvious tower, but no one saw it.
But I don’t know what this tower is used for.
Besides, everyone is here to see the blast furnace, so what is this tower used for?
Which god is... inside?
Wei Zheng looked at the tower in confusion and murmured, "Sir, is this tower dedicated to gods?"
Li Sheng laughed directly, "Old Wei, you are so imaginative. This is the blast furnace you want to see."
"What?!"
Wei Zheng and others were all stunned for a moment.
"This...this is a blast furnace?!"
"Yeah, don't think this blast furnace is too small, it's actually quite a lot. And the refractory bricks to build the blast furnace were all collected with great difficulty by me. It's already very difficult!"
Li Sheng said this.
Wei Zheng and others were about to burst into laughter. This thing was seven or eight feet tall.
Do you call this "too small"?
Your Highness, who taught you Chinese? When I get back, I will go to Dali Temple to arrest him! He will be arrested and charged directly. This is a bit misleading!
Li Er took a deep breath.
The air seems to be filled with the smell of burning wood...
"Master, can you tell me if this is... the blast furnace..."
"Yes, this is a blast furnace. It only needs ordinary firewood to be burned into charcoal, and using the charcoal as fuel, the iron material can be turned into molten iron... The molten iron after melting is the essence of this forging method.
Because the impurities can be vaporized smoothly and separated from the iron..."
"Hey, Lao Li, why are you holding me back?"
"Sir, how to build a blast furnace! Give it to me quickly! Hurry!"
Li Er was so excited.
With this blast furnace...
Wouldn’t this problem of lack of fine iron be easily solved?!
However, Li Er's expression immediately confused Li Sheng.
"Damn it...Old Li, you really asked for it...I thought I was being shameless, but you, an old money geek, are the real ones..."
But... anyway, Li Sheng can trust Lao Li.
Able to deal with!
Every time I gave something to Lao Li before, I basically gave it to Li Er.
In the end, this can also be learned from various gossips and small news.
So complaining is all about complaining, and Li Sheng still handed Lao Li a booklet...
This booklet is different from the past, it’s a thick one!
Even Li Sheng felt that this was really his proud work.
In the process of establishing the original blast furnace under simple conditions, a lot of my own understanding was added.
After all, Li Sheng also graduated from the engineering field. This improvement is not only much simpler to construct, but the furnace temperature is also much higher, and the efficiency is absolutely perfect.
But what made Li Sheng a little depressed was that when he was bragging to Lao Wei, Lao Du, and the newly arrived Brother Sun, they all just smiled awkwardly.
This made Li Sheng very unhappy. Damn it, you guys, don't act like I'm a liar.
This thing is all hard work...
Wei Zheng and others simply didn't know what to say.
Young Master, you are knowledgeable about everything from ancient times to modern times. You know everything from astronomy, geography, farming, and iron smelting. In this way, everything related to knowledge is superb...
But we are not!
We are really just human beings!
Young Master, please stop being so awesome, stop comparing us so useless, let us go! Woo hoo hoo...
…
With Li Sheng's iron-making method.
Li Er hurriedly embarked on the road back to Chang'an.
Before leaving, I could barely hear the answers to Li Sheng's chatter, the words of Du Ruhui, Wei Zheng and others, and the sounds of everything around me...
At this moment, there was only one thing in Li Er's mind.
Steelmaking!
Company Commander Sun Empress wanted to stay a little longer to talk to Li Sheng and Dan Qing... but Li Er took her away directly.
On the carriage, Queen Changsun couldn't help but complain.
"Your Majesty finally saw the child, why didn't you stay for a while?"
"Queen, this is really..." Li Er smiled bitterly, but the hand holding the thick booklet trembled slightly.
Empress Changsun rolled her eyes at Li Er,
"Even big things can't be done overnight. It feels aggrieved for you to stay with your child for a little longer, right?"
"Empress Qi..."
Fang Xuanling, who had been silent all this time, gave a wry smile and said, "This matter is really of great importance. Not to mention that His Majesty is dedicated to the country. Even if the same thing happened to us, I'm afraid it would have been long ago..."
"Is it that powerful?"
Queen Changsun was a little surprised. She had been in the palace for a long time. Although she knew some political affairs, she really didn't know much about the general direction and specific matters.
But she was still not happy about leaving so quickly today.
"No matter how powerful this book is, Sheng'er is already a prince and has just been ennobled. He has meritorious service, so what's the benefit?"
"This... empress, this merit cannot be explained clearly by the feudal lord."
Fang Xuanling smiled bitterly.
Du Ruhui suddenly sighed and said...
"Your Highness, once the iron-smelting method in this book is spread out, our Tang Dynasty's military power will be so great that no one can resist it!"
"Your Highness, this booklet is worth more than the efforts of thousands of troops. This cannot be measured by mere military achievements!"
Empress Changsun was surprised, "This book is so powerful? Then...does it mean to make the prince a prince?"
"More than just awesome? Alas..."
Li Er finally came to his senses, and his whole body... his sitting posture became swaying, as if he had just been relieved of a heavy burden of ten thousand kilograms.
"Sheng'er's achievements cannot be described by the Duke of the State at all. They are the achievements of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!"
"This iron-making method can at least protect the Tang Dynasty for five hundred years of peace!"
Empress Changsun quietly covered her mouth.
This...this is too exaggerated!
She knew that the child's intelligence was extraordinary and the best in the world, but it was probably at the level of Zhuge Kongming and Zhang Zifang.
But I never expected that it would be like this...
This is simply the work of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors!
