Datang: Li Er, are you teaching me how to do things?

Chapter 434 Smelting of Steel Knives

"Ding! Please the host go to Qianhe Tower to check in. If you check in successfully, the system will give you special rewards."

Before dawn, Li Yun opened his eyes.

There were faint footsteps outside, and there was a faint fragrance in the air.

His right arm was numb.

He turned his head and glanced at Hou Shaoping next to him, feeling relieved inexplicably.

It has been three days since he returned to Chang'an. He stopped Li Zuoen and his party that day, and also took back the weapon smelting technology stolen by the Goguryeo people.

Some time ago, he didn't go back to live in the East Palace for several nights. For some reason, his heart felt empty.

Now that he's back, he's finally at ease.

Naturally, last night was a big battle, and Hou Shaoping had to sleep with his hand on his head.

Li Yun gently supported Hou Shaoping's head, and then pulled out his hand. He paused for a moment to make sure he didn't wake her up, and then slowly got up.

A moment later, Li Yun went out for morning exercises, and an hour later, Li Yun took a carriage to Qianhe Tower.

This Qianhe Tower is a very famous restaurant in Chang'an. It is built on the edge of the Wei River. It is said that white cranes can sometimes be seen, so it is called Qianhe Tower.

Li Yun's women are all pregnant, so it's not easy to get them out.

Hu Mingyue and Hou Shaoping are not pregnant, but they are busy.

The business of Hu's restaurant has improved a lot recently, so Hu Mingyue has to keep an eye on it.

But Hou Shaoping is more busy, because she has a younger brother who is going to get married, and she will buy everything for the family.

So Li Yun can only go to Qianhe Tower alone.

After a while, Li Yun came to Qianhe Tower, and found that it was a three-story restaurant, which was very beautifully built, and the business was good, and people entered it from time to time.

Li Yun then slowly entered Qianhe Tower, and he soon heard the voice of the system.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully clocking in, and reward the host for its carbon alloy steel smelting technology."

A huge amount of information came into Li Yun's brain, which was about the smelting technology of alloy steel.

Steel is actually iron, but with a lower carbon content.

The steel used in later generations is generally alloy steel, and other trace elements are added during smelting.

The reason why alloy steel is smelted is because alloy steel is stronger, sharper and more durable.

It is better than pure steel, so later generations generally use alloy steel instead of pure steel.

Li Yun received the smelting technology of alloy steel, and his heart moved.

Currently, Datang's weapons are mainly iron weapons. There is no doubt that if iron weapons are transformed into alloy steel weapons, it will definitely enhance Datang's military strength.

However, the war between Datang and Dongtujue is imminent, and production must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise there will be no time for large-scale replacement.

Just when Li Yun was thinking, someone next to him made a fuss, but it was a group of scholars clamoring for a treat from one of them.

"Brother Xie, you are about to become an official of the Ministry of Industry, you have a bright future, you must treat me."

"Yes, brother Xie, I will rely on you in the future, you can't forget us."

"Brother Xie, brother is waiting for today, you can't hide today."

A clear voice sounded, this voice was a little sweet, with a bit of a female voice.

"Don't worry, everyone, I'm treating guests today, everyone, eat and drink well."

Li Yun looked over and saw a tall and thin figure, who turned his head, revealing a dark face.

Her complexion is a bit dark, but her facial features are very good.

Another person Li Yun knew, she was Xie Cong's younger sister.

At this time, Xie Cong's younger sister stood among the scholars, looking like an ordinary scholar, but Li Yun knew that she was a woman.

Datang also has female officials, mainly in the palace, to help Empress Changsun manage the palace, and there are no other places.

But this woman said she was going to work in the Ministry of Industry?
The only possibility is that she concealed her identity as a woman and went to the Ministry of Industry disguised as a man.

Li Yun smiled, but didn't mind his own business.

Although he didn't hear Xie Cong mention his sister, but he heard from other guards, it is said that she is a very beautiful woman.

Now that Xie Cong's sister is dressing herself up in such a rough way, she must have some ideas.

As long as she doesn't endanger Datang, Li Yun doesn't care about it.

But even though Xie Cong was a disciple of the Xie family in Chenjun, he had already spent most of his savings, how could this woman have the money to treat her now?
This doubt flashed in Li Yun's mind.

He didn't think much of it.

Just when Li Yun was about to leave, a group of people hurried up downstairs. The leader was dressed like a rich man, but his head was a bit small, and his facial features seemed to be crowded together, even though he was not a villain. But it still feels like a mouse.

His eyes wandered, and finally fell on Li Yun's face.

"Boy, are you the one who married Miss Xie?"

Li Yun frowned slightly, and said softly: "Who are you, do I know you?"

"You don't need to know who I am, but I want to tell you that I have already given Miss Xie a gift of [-] yuan. She is my woman. Let her come out quickly."

Li Yun felt that this person was inexplicable, and he didn't know Miss Xie.

He was also not interested in knowing about this person, so he winked at the guard behind him, and the guard stepped forward and drew out a big knife.

"Go away, or you will be killed without mercy."

The tone was insolent enough, and he never said that he was going to kill someone if he blocked the way.

Unless it was the prince or marquis, everyone on the third floor was stunned, and everyone stared blankly at the group of guards behind Li Yun.

Seeing their murderous looks, they couldn't help guessing Li Yun's identity secretly. Most people thought that Li Yun was the son of a certain state.

The mouse spirit was also dumbfounded, he didn't expect to encounter a stubble.

"I……"

"roll."

The guard yelled loudly, and the rat spirit jumped in fright, then saluted with a bitter face, turned and ran away.

Li Yun nodded, and then left Qianhe Tower under the protection of the guards.

He was not interested in this place. He planned to go back to the Manufacturing Bureau of the Eastern Palace and find a craftsman to see if he could make steel knives.

After all, the system rewards technology, even if it cannot fully equip the Tang army, it is still a big deal to equip the soldiers of the tenth rate of the East Palace.

Li Yun can basically be sure that he will definitely go to Dongtujue.

There is a high probability that he is the deputy coach and Li Jing is the coach.

At that time, Li Yun should lead [-] or [-] Donggong ten soldiers on an expedition. If they can be equipped with an extra steel knife, the soldiers will be more powerful.

So this has to be arranged.

In fact, not only steel knives, steel gun heads, or steel arrows can be made, but these sharp weapons are sharper than iron weapons.

At that time, they might be able to catch the opponent by surprise.

As for the cost issue, it is actually very low and can basically be ignored.

Because the difference between steel and iron is not that big, alloy steel just has more trace elements, no matter it is material or time cost, there will be no big increase.
