057 Frying steel, reclaiming wasteland, training troops, preparing for the battle of the bridge

During the time when Sun Yi left, the Smelting Bureau also recruited a lot of people. In addition to the Wuhuan captured before, it also allocated some refugees and Yellow Turban prisoners of war.

The other is to hit hundreds of blacksmiths.

Lu Longcheng originally had small-scale iron ore smelting.

Because coal is used to smelt iron ore, the quality of iron ore has been greatly improved.

However, Tian Chou and Zou Dan are still not particularly satisfied.

The smelted iron used to make farm implements and daily utensils is no problem at all.


However, it has many shortcomings when used to make weapons.

“Master, these are the swords we have recently built.”

Zou Dan handed a short knife to his father Sun Yi.

Gong Sun Yi found a piece of slightly soft wrought iron and chopped it up.

The blade cut into the wrought iron for about half a minute, and the hardness was no problem, but after pulling it out, a small gap was found.

“It’s still brittle, so it wears out quickly.”

Both Zou Dan and Tian Chou nodded.

Then he took out a short knife.

This time the short knife has a beautiful pattern on it, which has obviously been carefully crafted.

Public Sun Yi tried again, cutting into the wrought iron for a minute, and after pulling it out, there was no obvious gap.

“Well, this knife is good.”

“Master, this knife is really good. It uses 100-smelting steel. Steel is a good steel, and a knife is a good knife, but such a knife requires two skilled blacksmiths to make it for three days in a row.”

“Moreover, it is not easy to smelt hundreds of steels, and it is time consuming and labor intensive.”

“If our soldiers use such weapons, I am afraid that the Smelting Bureau will not be able to supply them, and they will not be able to replace the equipment in a year.”

Public Sun Yi nodded, “But it’s not impossible.”

Tian Chou and Zou Dan were stunned when they heard it, what’s wrong? The lord still knows how to smelt iron ore?

Public Of course, Sun Yi does not understand, but the system does.

Public Sun Yi found a technology that is more suitable for Lu Longcheng’s current level in the system space.

This technique is called frying steel method.

The first appearance of steel speculation was in the Han Dynasty.

It’s just that when it first appeared, the process was not mature enough, and the overall impurity of smelted steel was still relatively high.

Of course, the quality of wrought iron is much better than that of pig iron.

The frying steel technique provided in the system has been improved.

The most important thing is that all of the technical methods are not detached from the era, which is completely achievable in the Three Kingdoms period at the end of Han Dynasty.

The iron ore is first smelted into pig iron, and then the pig iron is heated to a semi-liquid state, and stir-fried continuously to allow impurities and charcoal to separate out.



In the meantime, some pure charcoal will be added.

In the end, wrought iron and tough steel of fairly good quality can be smelted.

Wrought iron can be used to build farm tools and daily production tools.

And steel can be used to make sophisticated weapon armor.

The time, process, and cost of converting the steel-smelting technique is much lower than that of the 100-smelting method.

When the public Sun Yi just finished speaking, Tian Chou and Zou Dan still didn’t believe it, but the public Sun Yi was not in a hurry, and talked to a dozen key blacksmiths in the Smelting Bureau.

The equipment and equipment required for this method are not very complicated, and should be available in a few days.

As long as the problem of steel can be solved, Sun Yi intends to replace the armor of Bai Ma Yi from the reconciliation soldier with this carbon steel material.

The overall combat effectiveness, especially the progress attack and defense, will definitely be greatly improved.

At the same time, the output of wrought iron will be higher than before.

Refugees and captives are now organizing farming outside Lulong City, and a lot of farm tools are needed.

After coming out of the smelter, the company Sun Yi began to inspect the land reclamation and construction.

The most manpower is arranged for the land reclamation.

After all, the carpenters and blacksmiths among the refugees are regarded as technicians.

A huge number of people are also able to grow land.

Lu Longcheng previously seized a large number of cattle and sheep from the Wuhuan people, and many injured horses that were not suitable for the battlefield were also put under the reclamation bureau.

For a time, a lot of wasteland outside Lulong City was reclaimed.

The smoke from burning wasteland outside the city can be seen all day long.

Tian Chou calculated it, and cultivated more than 3,000 acres of land in one month.

According to this progress, another six to seven thousand acres of wasteland can be reclaimed before the beginning of winter.

These new lands were all handed over to the refugees and reformed captives for cultivation.

In the first year, they provided cattle seeds and the like, and only harvested 20% of the harvest.

In the future, farm cattle seeds will need to be rented, and the tax will also be 30%.

Even so, the refugees in Lulong City are already ecstatic, and they are madly reclaiming new land every day, constantly talking about buying cattle, building houses, and marrying wives after the harvest next year.

Poor or poor, but full of hope.

Public Sun Yi checked all the work inside and outside Lu Longcheng, and can only say that Tian Chou has done quite well.

Lu Longcheng is now getting bigger and bigger, if Tian Chou continues to coordinate the overall situation, it will definitely be overwhelming.

Now that Tian Yu is here, he has all the training and armaments given to Tian Yu, and Tian Chou naturally feels much more relaxed.

The construction of night schools and medical centers is also on the agenda. *
