Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 223: Spell Forge
Outside the east gate of Jinxia City, next to Yantian.
A huge brick stove suddenly appeared on the beach.
It is about nine feet high, with an inner diameter of more than fifteen feet, and the outer ring is made of bricks for three full layers, and each layer of bricks is filled with fine sand to prevent heat leakage and strengthen the furnace. The pressure resistance of the wall.
By the side of the stove, the soldiers were adding raw materials back and forth, and it was Mo Yun, the person in charge of the Bureau of Mechanical Engineering, who commanded them.
"Attention, the order of placing the iron ingots must be correct, and remember to read the markings when picking up the raw materials!"
"One bar is up, two bars are down, and the iron ingots are mutually staggered, leaving a gap!"
"If you find a problem, don't make it hard, you must report it to me, understand?"
"Yes, my lord!"
"This is the new test product you are talking about?" As the familiar voice sounded, Ning Wanjun shrugged off the guards and walked quickly to Xia Fan's side. "Did you hear the incredible whispers again? "
"I have seen your Highness!" When the busy crowd saw the princess appearing, they all bowed their heads.
"You keep busy with your own work, don't make trouble for me!" The princess waved her hand.
"Hey!"
Xia Fan sighed helplessly. Ever since she pointed out that Luo Qing was a listener, she now justifies herself as one of the listeners, even though he has never heard anything quietly whispering. When the other party meets, he always asks if he has lost his mind first, which makes him dumbfounded.
"It is indeed a new experimental project, but it has nothing to do with whispering." Xia Fan curled his lips, "Speaking of which, why don't you ask Miss Luo if she is still rational?"
"People are more serious than you at first glance, do you have to ask?" Ning Wanjun said without hesitation, "I never worry that she will have any problems."
"Thank you for your trust." Luo on the side nodded gently.
Okay, I've gotten together. Xia Fan rolled his eyes silently, "In fact, I only started this project. The real preparation and implementer is Miss Mo Yun."
"Oh? Tell me about it?"
"This has to start with Miss Luo's ability..."
Xia Fan’s thoughts on the day are not just in his mind, but he ran into trouble when trying to figure out a production flow chart at night—he didn’t even know what level of smelting technology was in this era. I have never specifically understood modern steelmaking technology, just as theory is the theory, but it has become a difficult thing to transfer to practical operation.
So he approached Mo Yun with the idea of trying.
and the latter actually has a lot of accumulation in this area.
In the final analysis, the Ministry of Industry manages the entire production and construction of Qiguo, which naturally includes iron and forging steel. For one of the directors of the Bureau of Machinery Engineering, even if he has not personally operated it, the technology and craftsmanship in this area is also absolutely Not unfamiliar.
After a night of intense exchanges between him and the other party, an experimental plan that meets the level of the times and surpasses the times was born.
From Mo Yun’s oral statement, Xia Fan learned that Qiguo’s smelting technology is not backward, or in the Yongguo period, some people have realized that steel is between pig iron and wrought iron and is an excellent cast iron. Sword material. It's just that iron is more difficult to melt than copper, and large metal utensils are still dominated by bronze.
After a century of research, the popularization of tower kilns and manpower blowers has made the output of iron steadily rising, and the Ministry of Industry naturally shifted its attention to steel with higher strength. The method they advocate now is to burn pig iron into molten iron and pour it on wrought iron sheets, and the two are mixed to form steel. In layman's terms, it is to fuse iron with high carbon content and iron with low carbon content to obtain iron with moderate carbon content, which is the so-called steel.
Although the Ministry of Industry does not know that the element that determines the performance of steel is carbon, it still produces qualified smelted products based on experience, which is quite amazing. However, this method is limited by the temperature of the molten iron. There are only a few steel ingots in each batch, which are generally used by the Ministry of Industry to build the most sophisticated weapons or the core components of machinery and equipment. Even if it is used sparingly, steel is still in short supply.
It can be said that as long as the furnace temperature cannot be raised, the scene of large-scale smelting will be difficult to achieve after all.
And Xia Fan’s plan is to directly enclose a furnace, layer pig iron and wrought iron, and melt from the upper layer. The molten iron will increase the chance of contact with the air during the downward flow process, and further reduce the carbon content-this is also considering that the wrought iron smelting process at this time is mainly stirring, and the carbon content may be higher overall, so Just make this arrangement.
Once the restriction of the heat source is freed, the entire process flow becomes simple and easy to implement.
When I heard that Ning Wanjun’s eyes had lost focus, she was obviously confused by a lot of nouns, "Uh...I roughly understand the principle. According to you, if this method succeeds, mine Soldiers don’t lack steel knives and hard armor?"
"You can think so," Xia Fan smiled, "But its ultimate goal is to make soldiers no longer need steel knives and hard armor."
Improving weapon performance is only an incidental use of material technology after breakthroughs. Its greatest significance is to go back and improve the quality of the original devices produced, thereby further expanding production capacity.
Luo has only one lightly. It is hard for a strong man to rely on her ability to reach the position in one step, but the method of heating is not limited to dragon scales. With a high-quality steel furnace, the arc produced by the seismo streamer can also have the same effect. Compared with the indescribable Listener technique, the magical implements engraved with the amplifying circuit talisman are at least hopeful that they will be copied in batches.
The key is where this original furnace came from.
The answer is right now.
"My lord, all the ingredients are in place," the soldier reported.
Mo Yun solemnly ordered, "Check the ignition mechanism."
"Report-the ignition mechanism is normal!"
"Close the bottom furnace door~IndoMTL.com~Report——The furnace door is closed!"
"Everyone evacuate."
"Yes, all staff withdraw from the smelting furnace area!"
After all the preparations were completed, she walked up to the three of them, and Chao Luo nodded gently and said, "It's up to you next."
Luo gently stretched out a single palm and pointed it at the brick stove, "I will do my best."
Under everyone's gaze, a sword blade with a faint golden light appeared quietly on the top of the furnace.
Then, it slowly descended, from the hole at the top into the furnace.
is blocked by the wall, and vision is invalidated here. What Luo Qing can rely on is only the experience and feeling accumulated in the previous simulation exercise-after she flattened the blade, she tried to close it in the direction where she was. Close.
At this moment, the "ignition device" was triggered.
It is essentially a falling platform. The iron ingot on it is pulled by a rope. When the dragon scales thin as a cicada wing cut the rope, the iron ingot slams on the blade.
Luo lightly felt this change.
The outer layer of the dragon scale temporarily disappeared, and the power flowing in the blade suddenly rushed to the iron ingot. This heat quickly spread, and quickly ignited the entire upper layer of the furnace.
"Boom——"
Everyone saw that a flame of several feet high was spouting from the top of the brick furnace!
