Yipin County Magistrate: Start with invincibility

Chapter 612
What he said was an admission that he and Lao Dengzi were indeed involved.

"How did the old Dengzi die?"

Qin Feng asked again.

But Chen Dabang looked blank: "My lord, just as I told you, I went fishing by the river a few days ago, and it happened to be raining heavily, so I went to Lao Dengzi's wooden house to hide from the rain for a while. That was the last time we saw each other,"

"After that, I haven't seen him, how can I know how he died?"

"Speaking of which, you've been dealing with fake gold for so many years, why don't you hide two of them privately?"

"My lord, how dare I, not to mention that these fake gold are handed over every time, even if I run away with fake gold, I can't run fast with so many things."

"Besides, the area around Yunnan and Yunnan Province is already poor. Even if I have fake gold, I don't dare to use it, otherwise it will definitely arouse suspicion."

When he said this, he shrank his neck subconsciously.

Qin Feng asked again, but still didn't get any valuable information, so he could only sigh helplessly.

But it's normal to think about it. This matter is not a trivial matter, and it has been going on for many years in secret. The person behind the scenes must be extremely careful. If it is so easy for people to find out the clues, then he doesn't have to do it. down.

However, Chen Dabang provided Qin Feng with useful news at this time.

Before Lao Dengzi died, he had just moved a box of fake gold from the mountain, that is to say, according to the original procedure, someone would definitely come to take these things away.

And according to the original law, after the item is in hand, at most three days later, someone will come to pick it up.

In other words, if Qin Feng followed up within three days, he might be able to get in touch with the person who specialized in transporting fake gold.

After getting the news, Qin Feng naturally nodded in satisfaction.

Chen Dabang did provide Qin Feng with a lot of clues, but what he did, Qin Feng certainly couldn't let him go easily.

He first took Qin Feng to the county government office in Taiwei County and temporarily locked him up. Then he asked Ling Chong to watch by the river, and if anyone came to meet him, he would be arrested directly.

After finishing these, Qin Feng rushed back to Yuchun City again.

When Qin Feng returned to Yuchun City again, he saw Wei Quanyou return as expected.

According to Qin Feng's request, he has carried out some technical reforms in the mine in Qiushui City.

Iron smelting technology in this era has been developed for hundreds of years and is gradually becoming mature. The most common method of iron smelting is blast furnace iron smelting.

The most common iron ore in nature is iron oxide, and the smelting process of iron oxide is often to melt the treated ore block under the action of high temperature, and then feed it into carbon powder, and use the reducing property of carbon powder to make iron oxide become pure again. iron.

It's just that the iron smelted in this way still has a lot of impurities, and the carbon content in the iron is extremely high, so it needs to be refined twice in the hands of a blacksmith to become qualified iron.

After Wei Quanyou arrived at the mine, the first thing he did was to modify the proportion of carbon powder used in iron smelting.

In the past, when feeding carbon powder into iron ore, it was mostly based on feeling, which would only make the quality of the iron ore uneven, but with a fixed ratio, the quantity of iron ore can be guaranteed very accurately .

In addition, Wei Quanyou also invented the steel pouring method according to the method taught by Qin Feng, that is, using the method that pig iron will carburize into wrought iron, pouring pig iron on wrought iron to make the carbon content of the two Change occurs, and the consequences of this change can be controlled.

In fact, these methods have already appeared in this era, but people's use of them is not necessarily standardized, and most of them are just passed on by word of mouth, relying on so-called experience to complete.

After Qin Feng's standardized quantification, the efficiency of these methods has naturally been greatly improved.

More importantly, the iron and steel smelted in the previous mines were all the roughest pig iron, and they were processed into other types according to people's needs.

However, after standardization and quantification, they can also easily know the approximate ratio required to produce a certain type of steel.

Going back and forth naturally saves a lot of time.

After listening to Wei Quanyou's report, Qin Feng nodded in satisfaction: "Old Wei, you did a good job."

"But don't be too busy with the mine affairs recently."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Quanyou's expression changed drastically.

"My lord, this... Could it be that I have not done well enough?"

His expression was extremely nervous. Wei Quanyou was never afraid of the difficulty of the tasks Qin Feng assigned him. What he feared most was that there was nothing to do.

Seeing Wei Quanyou's appearance, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't panic, I found some other things for you."

"I see."

Wei Quanyou breathed a sigh of relief, and asked curiously, "My lord, what are you going to ask me to do this time?"

Every time Qin Feng assigns him a new task, he can learn a lot, so this time, he naturally feels impatient.

"This time, we're working on generators."

Qin Feng said seriously.

He had always wanted to do this before, but never had the chance.

But two days ago, he suddenly discovered the case of fake gold in the mountains, which gave Qin Feng this idea again.

The reason why he has not done it for a long time is mainly because generators are needed to generate electricity, and the materials and processes required to make generators are relatively troublesome.

Qin Feng has been busy with various things before, so he didn't have a chance to do it. Now that he has brass, he can of course start it.

"dynamo?"

Wei Quanyou was taken aback by these three words: "My lord, what is the generator for?"

"What else can it be used for? As the name suggests, of course it is used to generate electricity."

"electricity?!!!"

Wei Quanyou has been with Qin Feng for a long time, and naturally knows that Qin Feng has a lot of knowledge far beyond ordinary people, so he is not surprised by the many things Qin Feng can do.

For example, this time, when he got the details of Guangang Method from Qin Feng, he just marveled.

But after he heard the function of the generator, he still felt uneasy.

What electricity is, of course he knows.

The two words thunder and lightning have been bound together since ancient times, and this is the only kind of electricity that people in this era can touch.

The power of thunder and lightning is naturally what many people yearn for deeply.

For example, Lei Gong and Dian Mu are imagined as two people who respectively hold the power of thunder and lightning.

But now, Qin Feng actually said that he would use manpower to generate electricity. How could such a thing not shock him?
