Chapter 195

"My lord, this thing is called coal."

"Coal?" Meng Yi picked up a piece of coal.

"What's the use of this thing?"

Seeing Ying Zheng's question, the craftsman quickly replied, "Your Majesty, this thing can burn."

"Burning?" Master Xu exclaimed in surprise.

Picking up a briquette, he held it in his hand and asked in amazement, "Can stones burn too?"

The craftsman quickly explained: "Master Ke Qing discovered this object by accident. He told us that the temperature of this object is many times higher than that of firewood, and this object is extremely resistant to burning. When it is burned, it can emit blue flames."

"Blue flame?" Master Xu's face was full of shock.

As the number one swordsmith in the world, he knows very well that in order to forge a famous sword, besides skill, the most important thing is the environment.

There is an inexhaustible ground fire in the sword pool in the Mohist mechanism city, and excellent weapons can be forged only by relying on the advantage of the ground fire.

But now the foundation of the Mo family has all moved to Xianyang City. For the entire Mo family, everything can be adapted, but the ground fire has become the most difficult thing to solve.

Now that there is something that can replace Earth Fire, he is the most excited.

"What's the difference with this blue flame?" Ying Zheng was a little strange seeing Master Xu's flustered expression.

"Your Majesty doesn't know! The flames are divided into three types: yellow, red and blue, especially the blue one has the highest temperature. There was a red ground stove in the Mohist organ city before, although it was not up to the limit, but it was enough for use. I was still worried, but when I arrived in Xianyang Without a suitable furnace, if this kind of stone can really release blue flames, I can forge stronger weapons in the future. It is even possible to forge famous swords in the sword manual."

"what?"

Ying Zheng instinctively looked at the Tianwen Sword in his hand.

As this sword is ranked number one on the sword manual, Ying Zheng naturally knew the advantages of this magical blade.

If it is true what Master Xu said, every soldier of the Qin State has a Heavenly Sword in their hands, there is no place in the sky or on the earth that they cannot conquer.

"Where did you get this?" Master Xu looked at the craftsman in front of him and asked anxiously.

"It's just to the northeast of Xianyang City."

"A lot?"

"A lot can be dug out with a little digging. We haven't used it before, so we didn't dig too much. If it's really easy to use, dig a little more."

Master Xu took out a piece and put it in the nearby fire.

Although the briquettes are still rough stones, they don't burn slowly.

As the craftsman said, as soon as the coal stuck to the fire, it released terrifying heat quickly, and the flame on it was really blue.

"The temperature is so high, it is indeed a good thing to forge swords at such a temperature." Master Xu sighed.

"In my opinion, the benefits of this thing may be more than that." Ying Zheng looked at the coal stone in front of him and sighed.

"What good use did your Majesty think of?" Meng Yi looked at Ying Zheng in front of him.

"Think about it, if we have this coal, our people may not be afraid of winter."

Although the state of Qin is rich and powerful, there are so many people in Guanzhong, and so many woods and stones are needed for the winter. Some people once felt that the thick smoke released by burning charcoal in winter can even cover the sky in Guanzhong for several days and is difficult to disperse.

If there is such a coal now, the situation in Guanzhong will be greatly improved in the future.

"Your Majesty has a long-term vision, and I admire you."

Ying Zheng also came here today with great interest, looked at Master Xu in front of him and said, "Master, since we have such good coal today, why don't we take this opportunity to forge a weapon?"

Seeing that Ying Zheng had such a plan, Mr. Xu was also taken aback, and said with a light smile, "I'm fine, but there are filthy places there, there must be something wrong with His Majesty's holy body!"

Ying Zheng waved his hands and shook his head, "If I say I'm fine, I'm fine."

Seeing that he was so interested, Mr. Xu said nothing more, and took Ying Zheng to the location of the sword forging workshop.

It's not far from here. Although it's not fully built, it can barely be used.

Ying Zheng, Xu Fuzi and others came in, and everyone bowed to him and said, "See your Majesty!"

"Stay flat, I just came to see you today, you can continue to be busy, don't worry about me."

Looking at the craftsmen who put down their work and prostrated themselves on the ground, Ying Zheng frowned slightly.These people are all people who silently put in countless sweats for the Great Qin to rule the world, but now they all look sallow and emaciated.unkempt.

The situation of these great Qin heroes is still so miserable, how can this make Ying Zheng's heart feel better.

"It has been passed on, and all craftsmen in the foundry will be awarded the first level of knighthood."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Hundreds of craftsmen on the ground got up one after another and dispersed to work under the leadership of the officials.

In fact, it is said to be busy, but His Majesty is here, how dare they make too much noise and movement.

Everyone was careful, for fear that the loud noise would disturb His Majesty the Emperor.Rather than being busy, it is better to say that it is performing a silent pantomime.

This kind of situation is actually not uncommon in the foundry. It happens every time the high-ranking people come, but this time they didn't expect to meet Ying Zheng.

Master Xu looked at the casting pool in front of him and said, "Your Majesty, then I will make a fool of myself."

Ying Zheng looked at everything in front of him and nodded: "Master, please do what you want."

Master Xu took out the tools on his body, and then asked the craftsmen to fetch coal and prepare to open the furnace for forging.

With His Majesty the Emperor in charge of supervision, others naturally dare not make mistakes.

In a huge venue, as far as the eye can see, the furnace is constantly spewing out splashes of iron flowers, and the fire in the furnace is blazing red.

Mr. Xu stood next to the stove. It was a huge blown cowhide. A huge bamboo tube stretched into the hearth more than three feet high. Four strong men pressed hard on the big board below, and a strong wind quickly poured into the furnace.

With the influx of strong winds, the fire in the hearth burned fiercely, the ore in the furnace melted one after another, and the splash of iron flowers was extremely spectacular.

Next to each stove there is a huge ditch into which water is poured, so that the water can be better used.

Master Xu put the iron embryo on the fire to heat it up. After it was red hot, he began to beat it continuously. Ying Zheng looked at the beating in front of him with a little interest, and suddenly thought of something, so he asked Meng Yi: "What happened between Fusu and Zhao Gang? What happened, why didn't you tell me?"

Meng Yi looked at Ying Zheng with some embarrassment, then lowered his head and said, "Why did your majesty suddenly ask me this question? I think it's more appropriate for your majesty to answer you personally."

Seeing what he said, Ying Zheng didn't want to ask more questions, so he could only turn his attention back to Master Xu's sword casting.

After a while, Master Xu stopped and walked over with a sword.

"Your Majesty, please see?"

Ying Zheng took a look and was surprised: "Good sword!"

"That's right, with such flames, I have full confidence that I can create a famous sword that is not inferior to the famous sword in the sword manual."
