Chapter 604 Technological Innovation

The city of Chang'an was in turmoil, and major events happened one after another, which could be described as thrilling.

However, these storms failed to affect Li Yunze, who was thousands of miles away.

The King of Zhongshan of the Han Dynasty was in trouble at this time.

The reason is very simple. Starting from Shi Fen and Zhang Ou, everyone with some status has been given memorials to him.

The contents of these memorials are almost the same, they are all talking about one thing.

Please give birth to an heir as soon as possible!

In the modern world...so everyone simply stops having children.

But in this era, one sentence can sum up the connotation of this aspect.

"There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the greatest is not having an offspring!"

Without descendants, the position of the emperor is unstable. Zhu Qiyu said that he has a deep understanding of this aspect.

If you have no descendants among the people, your neighbors will look down on you, and your relatives will be sharpening their knives and waiting to be wiped out.

For the King of Zhongshan, if there is no successor, the civil and military personnel under his command will be unstable and think about finding a way out.

After all, without descendants, it is impossible to ensure that power and wealth can be passed down smoothly. Of course, in this case, no one is willing to follow.

Because the wealth and power of the followers cannot be guaranteed.

Historically, Liu She experienced a serious crisis when she failed to give birth to a son. When Wei Zifu gave birth to Liu Zheng, he was immediately named the prince and generously rewarded.

In theory, they are all the same.

Li Yunze's trouble is that he is not only a king, but also a monk.

In the modern world, no one can succeed in cultivating Taoism. In addition to the exhaustion of spiritual energy and the lack of human heart, a very important reason is that there is not enough time.

Cultivation takes a lot of time, but human lifespan is limited, so it is really impossible.

Li Yunze is different here. He has enough time to practice, so at this moment, he has reached the state of alchemy and gas transformation.

This stage literally means refining the gold of life into Qi for cultivation.

I solemnly state that there is no problem with my ability at all, and even because I have reached this stage, I can do it easily...

Now everyone asks him to have a son, which makes Li Yunze very distressed.

Or wait until the realm breaks through and reach the stage of refining energy and becoming a god.

Or give up your previous cultivation and return to the initial stage.

Li Yunze was reluctant to give up, but he couldn't break through in a short time, so he had no choice but to drag on in distress.

Wait and wait until you can't put it off any longer before you think of a solution.

If the pressure on Li Yunze at this time is ten, then the pressure on Queen Zhuo Wenjun is one hundred.

For women in this era, especially those who married into the royal family, not having a son is a very scary thing.

Because of this incident, Zhuo Wenjun's father, Zhuo Wangsun, even sent people all the way from Sichuan to Lunu to deliver a winning magic weapon to his daughter.

Well, it is said that it is a miracle medicine prescribed by a miracle doctor in Sichuan. As long as the king drinks it, he will immediately...

On this day, Li Yunze returned from serving as a prisoner outside the city.

Back in the palace, I was still writing and drawing on paper with a pen in hand, making technological innovations.

Li Yunze knew very well that it didn't matter how strong the storm was in Chang'an City, as long as the umbrella in his hand was strong enough.

The only umbrellas that can protect against wind and rain are soldiers and horses.

His motto is 'The Son of Heaven only has strong soldiers and horses!'

I have experienced so many worlds, and every time I fought for position, I relied on soldiers and horses to win. I have never accepted charity from anyone, and this time is no exception.

If the emperor did not pass the throne to him, or if the edict left behind was tampered with, Li Yunze would definitely start a Han version of the Jingnan War!

Because of this, he is very concerned about armaments, and now he is busy replacing equipment for the Zhongshan Kingdom's army.

"Your Majesty."

When Li Yunze was designing the high-pressure bellows to blow air into the iron-making blast furnace, Zhuo Wenjun, holding a jade bowl, timidly walked over and called out softly.

Stand up and turn your head.

Looking at Zhuo Wenjun's slightly red face, Li Yunze had a smile on his face, "The queen is here, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty."

Zhuo Wenjun, whose pretty face became increasingly rosy, did not dare to look directly into Li Yunze's eyes. He lowered his head and tremblingly handed over the jade bowl in his hand, "Please, treat the king to some soup~~~"

The ancients said that "medicine does not differentiate between families".

People who are proficient in Taoism will naturally have good medical skills.

Li Yunze's medical skills and vision are of course outstanding.

He reached out and took the jade bowl, first glanced at the almost viscous pale red soup in the bowl, and then moved closer to take a sniff.

"Well,...,...,...,...,..,..,...,..., the car..."

His words were full of affirmation, and he believed that his judgment on the medicinal materials would not be wrong.

However, his expression gradually changed from shocked to angry.

Putting down the jade bowl, Li Yunze said to Zhuo Wenjun, "You look down on me?"

Zhuo Wenjun was dumbfounded.

She said eagerly, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I never meant this~~~"

Li Yunze pointed at the jade bowl on the table and said dissatisfiedly, "..."

Zhuo Wenjun breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the king was not really angry.

She covered her mouth and chuckled. As her eyes drifted, the female literary youth's temper flared up, "I don't remember it. Your Majesty has not been to my place for quite some time."

"Haha~~~"

Faced with such provocations, Li Yunze has always been... disdainful of verbal quarrels.

He stepped forward very simply...

Then he strode towards the apse.

In the apse, there are soft and comfortable beds.

When he launches a gentle offensive, it is really hard to resist.

...

...

...

Ever since the last time Emperor Liu Qi gave Li Yunze hundreds of beauties at one go, the number of people serving in the palace was not enough.

In addition, Li Yunze didn't like eunuchs, so he could only recruit many women from Zhao to work in the palace.

Compared with the beauties from all over the world, these girls from Zhao are really bold and want to serve Li Yunze almost all the time.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! They are not recruited into the palace just for the monthly money.

Li Yunze, who was sighing with emotion, suddenly let out a hiss.

hands forward...

Li Yunze was not a drunkard. He quickly adjusted his mentality and continued to devote himself to the work of expanding the strength of the Zhongshan Kingdom.

What is busy at this time is innovating the smelting method.

The basis for one Han to serve as the Five Barbarians is the advanced weapon Jiawei, and the steel equipment that can make the barbarians despair.

Improving the quality and production of steel is the top priority.

Steel, steel, there is iron and there is steel.

Iron-making is the prerequisite for all metal products, and the basis of iron-making is iron ore.

Most of China's iron ore is not of high quality, which requires more and more advanced technologies.

To reduce iron ore in the form of oxides to pig iron, the main method is to put the iron ore and charcoal layer by layer into a smelting furnace and roast them slowly at low temperature.

The carbon monoxide generated by the incomplete combustion reaction of charcoal can reduce the iron oxide in the iron ore into elemental iron. After cooling, the iron block is formed into pig iron.

The carbon content of pig iron is very high, even reaching more than 4%.

This kind of pig iron is basically unusable and must be purified to reduce the carbon content to less than 2.1% before steel can be obtained.

There were iron-making blast furnaces in the Han Dynasty. The method Li Yunze chose was to increase the supply of oxygen in the blast furnace to react with the carbon in the molten iron, thereby reducing the carbon content in the molten iron.

He didn't have pure oxygen, but he made a high-pressure bellows.

This manpower-consuming bellows can blow a large amount of air into the blast furnace, thus making the internal combustion more intense and the carbon neutralization reaction more intense.

And this is just the beginning.

When pig iron begins to boil, impurities such as silicon, manganese, and carbon begin to oxidize.

The iron-making craftsmen used tools and began to stir repeatedly. The constant stirring made the oxidation more intense and rapid.

When it comes out of the furnace, you can basically get low carbon steel, and sometimes you can also get medium carbon steel and high carbon steel.

There are no professional measuring tools, and it all depends on the experience of the craftsmen.

This is not over yet. After this, continuous and repeated heating, folding and forging will be carried out to make the steel structure dense, the composition uniform, and the impurities reduced, thereby improving the quality of the steel.

And this is Li Yunze's innovative steel-frying method and steel-making.

With steel, not only can weapons of better quality be made, but also extremely powerful armor and stomach can be made using a hydraulic forging machine.

Li Yunze did not choose the armor composed of armor pieces. Since the steel was already tempered, there was no need for the armor and he could just wear a one-piece half-body plate armor.

The armor stomach made of a whole piece of steel is not only stronger and more durable, but also easier to maintain.

Of course, judging from the production capacity of this era, even if Li Yunze innovates technology and provides strong support, his productivity is still pitifully low.

At least in Li Yunze's view, he was pitifully low and not worth mentioning.

But in the eyes of Zhang Ou, Gong Sunhong and others, this is a miracle!

The moment they saw the "large-scale" steel tapping, they immediately sent sergeants to pick up the families of the general supervisor craftsmen. At the same time, they surrounded the entire general supervisor craftsman and even built a wall.

In their words to Li Yunze, "The most important weapon of the country must not be spread to the public!"

They are already ecstatic about the output and quality.

But Li Yunze is still dissatisfied and plans to continue to innovate technology.

But soon, an imperial edict from Chang'an City caused Li Yunze to turn his attention away from technological innovation and towards the grasslands of the north.

The imperial edict said that a group of Xiongnu tribes wanted to surrender to the Han Dynasty, and ordered the mountain king to lead his troops out of the fortress to welcome them back!
