Summoning the Mythical Eternal Emperor

Chapter 56 I Can't Believe It

Before the pig iron enters the small blast furnace, Zhao Yuankai ordered the craftsmen to hammer it into pieces and then put it into the furnace.

Coal and charcoal are covered on the upper door of the cast iron, and after ignition, the furnace mouth is closed.

Then, the bellows are constantly used to supply oxygen to the small blast furnace, so that the coal can be fully burned, so that the temperature in the furnace can rise to the melting point of melting pig iron.

All the people present just stared at each other in a daze.

They had never seen this little blast furnace.

They have never heard of this method of refining pure gold.

Li Buhui frowned, and secretly glanced at the emperor sitting on the general chair with a big horse and golden knife.

For some reason, she suddenly felt that Zhao Yuankai might really use this strange method to refine pure gold.

"Hey, Uncle Gong, do you think His Majesty can really refine pure gold?"

Li Buhui moved closer to Gong Shang's side and asked in a low voice.

Gong Shang watched the establishment and opening of the small blast furnace intently throughout the whole process, took a deep breath, nodded vigorously, and replied:

"I think I can!"

"Uncle Gong, are you crazy? Don't you know how difficult it is for the swordsmith of the Zhenxi Palace to make a fine gold sword?"

"I know! But, I just believe in His Majesty!"

"Princess, as you have seen along the way, today's Dahan Emperor is by no means an ordinary emperor, he has already created too many unbelievable and shocking creations!"

The first personal guard of the Zhenxi Prince's Mansion has only been in Chang'an for a few hours, and he has completely admired Zhao Yuankai!
Li Buhui actually thought so in his heart, but he couldn't swallow the resentment in his heart.

The proud celestial girl of Taoli Nianhua, her heart is naturally high, so no matter what the time is, that delicate little mouth is hard to ignore.

Li Buhui looked at Gong Shang contemptuously, and said angrily: "Hmph! This princess just doesn't believe it! I don't believe it even if I'm beaten to death!"

About half an hour later.

Zhao Yuankai, who kept his eyes closed all the time, opened his eyes slowly, and said:

"Department of Smelting, remember the closing time of the furnace. During this time, all the iron fragments can melt and flow, and it is also the time to start the furnace!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked again.

Can you melt iron fragments?
Flow like water?

This... how is this possible?
Didn't the iron pots in the houses of the big Han people burn out?
At this time, Li Buhui stood up again, and questioned in every possible way:
"Your Majesty, are you sure you're right? Let the iron melt and flow? That's iron, not ice, it's fire that won't melt at all, okay?"

"If you don't speak, I won't treat you as dumb!"

Zhao Yuankai glanced at Li Buhui coldly, in addition to indifference, there was also a trace of disgust flashing in his eyes.

It was this trace of disgust that made Li Buhui, who was originally very enthusiastic, suddenly darkened, and became inexplicably lost.

"Oh." Li Buhui wrinkled his nose.

Zhao Yuankai didn't take another look at her.

After standing straight up, staring at the small blast furnace closely, he shouted:

"Open the furnace!"

The craftsmen of the smelting department obeyed and began to open the furnace.

Everyone kept their eyes open, not even daring to take a breath, and watched closely.

The furnace mouth is open.

The craftsman uses an iron rod to push away the charcoal dust.

Those fine pieces of pig iron before were already burning red now, and they were round and soft, rolling like dough.

"My God, it really burned!"

"Can this iron be melted? This...isn't this incredible?"

"Your Majesty is truly a god-man, what he said is right!"

"Everything is as His Majesty said. Could it be that this small blast furnace can really refine pure gold?"

The six ministers were completely shocked.

Li Buhui looked over with a pretty face and was also stunned.

Then subconsciously glanced at Zhao Yuankai's side face, shocked, and the deer bumped wildly.

"The craftsmen of the smelting department are optimistic, this is steelmaking... that is, the first step in smelting fine gold!"

"And the second step is to keep stirring the pig iron with an iron rod when the pig iron is melted and mellow. This step is called frying steel!"

"You don't need to understand what these words mean, you just need to know how to do it, when to do it, and form experience!"

Zhao Yuankai was explaining patiently.

The strategic significance of the small blast furnace steel frying method for the Han Dynasty is extraordinary!
The craftsmen of the smelting department are already very excited at this moment.

Following Zhao Yuankai's instructions, they began to stir the semi-liquefied pig iron in the stove non-stop.

This step is the most important.

It is the transformation of pig iron into steel from decarburization!
With the constant stirring, the changes in the furnace were even more astonishing.

The pieces of dough-like pig iron actually started to melt completely, and then fused into a ball, turning into a sponge-like iron ball.

"That's it!"

"Now is the last step. Beat it into shape, and it will be what you call fine gold in iron!"

Zhao Yuankai breathed a sigh of relief and said calmly.

So far, everything is going well, and the craftsmanship and execution of the craftsmen have far exceeded his expectations.

The fiery red steel ingot that was fried and smelted was clamped out and handed over to the blacksmith of the Casting Division, who immediately began to beat it.

This step is to remove the impurities in the steel ingot and get more pure steel!
The blacksmiths of the Casting Division are experts in Zhongzhou.

Although I don't know anything about steel, I have been forging iron for many years, and I have touched the edge of steel by chance, and I know what is the gold in iron.

and so!
They only beat it a few times, and then they exclaimed excitedly one by one:
"It's pure gold, it's really pure gold!"

"That's right, and it's incomparably pure gold, and its toughness is unmatched by pig iron!"

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is really a man of God!"

This is the voice of the blacksmiths.

Their words are the most convincing.

Because it is hard to find a swordsmith in the world, the most primitive background is a blacksmith.

When the six ministers and the officers and soldiers of the Shenji Battalion heard this, their awe and respect for Zhao Yuankai rose to an extreme level.

They directly knelt down excitedly, and worshiped Zhao Yuankai, shouting long live, shouting that the big man is lucky and the people are lucky!
Even Gong Shang and the group of guards behind him couldn't afford to pay homage.

"If the fine gold in iron can be produced on a large scale, I will equip every one of Xiliang with [-] people, and then put saddles and stirrups on the horses. Within a year, Zhantian Mountain in Xiliang will be pacified!"

Gong Shang was too excited.

Unexpectedly, the old tears began to cry.

How many years!

How many good men from Xiliang!
They are all those barbarians who took their lives and put their bodies on their bodies to fight against the Turkic Huns! !

The entire northern camp was in a state of excitement.

Only Zhao Yuankai was as calm as water.

With a flick of his sleeves, he cast his eyes on Wang Meng and said:

"Wang Aiqing, earlier I gave Shenjiying a drawing of the shape of the ring head knife, you can take it out now and let the craftsmen of the Casting Division make one on the spot!"
