God-level Great Hunjun System

In this way, he waited patiently for half a month, and when the time came, he couldn't wait to go to the smelting workshop to check the situation.It didn't matter at this point, he was shocked, the situation was very different from what he expected!

The system did not give him the crucible steelmaking technology, but directly gave him a technology that was much more perverted than this - a three-in-one big gift package of coal desulfurization technology, super blast technology and graphite crucible technology!

The so-called desulfurization of coal is to reduce the content of impurities such as phosphorus and sulfur originally contained in coal. These two things are a nightmare for iron smelting, and they are one of the important reasons for the insufficient hardness of steel!Because of this, coal with a higher combustion temperature was not used as much as charcoal with a lower combustion temperature in ancient iron smelting, because the impurities in coal would greatly affect the effect of steelmaking.

But once you have a fully formed coal desulfurization technology, it is tantamount to solving the century-old problem that sulfur in coal will make iron brittle, and the high temperature achieved by fully burned coal can also make wrought iron that cannot be melted under the original technical conditions Melting, this can double the efficiency of steelmaking!

The super blower technology is an original BUG technology created by the system. The principle is unknown, but the effect is to break through the limitations of traditional hydraulic blower technology and the weakness of low efficiency, forming a super-efficient combination of animal power, wind power and water power. Blast technology.It can also greatly increase the furnace temperature during steelmaking and save manpower.

As for the graphite crucible technology, it is an improvement of the crucible steelmaking technology in Central Asia in a modern way. It must be known that the melting point of graphite exceeds 3500 degrees, and the crucible made of graphite can accommodate the high temperature generated during the new steelmaking technology. .

All in all, the "top iron smelting technology" given by the system has completely exceeded Yan Hao's imagination.Not to mention the ancient steelmaking, hundred steelmaking, and crucible steel, even in Europe in the 18th century, the steel produced by this new steelmaking method is undoubtedly good steel!

The itchy Yan Hao immediately ordered the Chief of Military Weapons Supervision to make a batch of weapons for him to have a look at. After receiving the emperor's order, the whole smelting workshop started to operate.The new type of smelting blast furnace and the weird but extremely efficient automatic blower machine all symbolize that the new technology has completely and completely covered every aspect of this small factory.

Now here is not the sound of clanging irons as in the past, replaced by hotter steam and fewer but more rigorous and stylized workers.

Yan Hao observed the working conditions in the factory with great interest, and found everything novel and interesting, but he didn't feel bored.On the contrary, the craftsmen felt even more honored when they saw the emperor's inspection, and they worked harder.

Chapter 162 Kunwu Steel

After waiting for a while, a sweaty blacksmith walked up to Yan Hao, and respectfully put a long knife in his hand.

Yan Hao was a little surprised: "How can it be made so quickly?"

The craftsman was full of excitement: "Your Majesty, since His Majesty taught us the royal secret method the day before yesterday, the steelmaking efficiency of the entire smelting workshop has been greatly improved, and the steel produced is even more sharp than before!"

"Then I will try how sharp this knife is!" Yan Hao said and pulled out his emperor's saber.Although the emperor's sword is not a magic weapon, since it can be used as the emperor's weapon, there must be something extraordinary.

So Yan Hao held the saber in his hand and signaled the blacksmith to use a newly made weapon to strike at him. The blacksmith was a little timid at once, and only after Yan Hao's repeated requests did he bravely swing the long knife in his hand at Yan Hao's saber!

In an instant, only the sound of "clang" and the crisp sound of metal impact, the emperor's saber in Yan Hao's hand unexpectedly snapped!Look at the broken section again, it is smooth and without gaps, like a horizontal line drawn according to a guideline!

"Plop!" The blacksmith knelt on the ground, and everyone around him also knelt down.

The blacksmith said in horror: "The villain deserves death, but he broke His Majesty's sword. Please forgive me!"

The emperor's sword has been passed down from generation to generation, representing the supreme imperial power, so seeing the emperor's sword in all dynasties is like seeing the emperor himself.At present, Yan Hao's Emperor's Saber is still carefully crafted by his great-great-grandfather from the best iron ore of Wei's best blacksmith.

But such an incomparably noble sword was cut off by a blacksmith, how could this keep him from being terrified?Logically speaking, this is the crime of beheading!

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Yan Hao laughed loudly, "Why are you guilty? The one who is guilty should be my saber. As the emperor's self-defense weapon, it can't withstand the slash of an ordinary long knife. What a shame! "

"Sword, sword, you deserve it for being cut off!" Yan Hao pretended to say to the broken sword in his hand.

It was too late for him to be happy, so how could he blame the blacksmith for this?The fact that the new steel can cut even the emperor's sword can only prove that its hardness is indeed amazing, and the steelmaking technology rewarded by the system is indeed far beyond the level of this era!

Of course, on the other hand, it also shows that his saber is a little watery, and it's time to change it.

Seeing this, all the craftsmen laughed along with Yan Hao, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed.

"Your Majesty, with this kind of steelmaking technology, the weapons of our Great Wei will be ten times, no, a hundred times more powerful than those of our predecessors!" the blacksmith said confidently.

"Your Majesty, you gave me such a miraculous steelmaking method as the Great Wei. It is really a manifestation of the gods. Please give me a name for Xingang!" At this time, the head of the smelting workshop next to him knelt down and said.

"Your Majesty, please give Xingang a name!" All the people present fell to their knees, they were shocked by the power of Xingang from the bottom of their hearts.

"Well, let me think about it for a moment." Yan Hao paced back and forth a few steps, "Yes!"

"An ancient book says: King Mu of Zhou conquered Xirong, and Xirong offered the sword of Kunwu and the cloth of Huohuan. Cutting jade with it is like cutting mud. The Kunwu sword is my great artifact in China, and now there is a new type of steelmaking Using this method, the weapons produced are comparable to the Kunwu Excalibur. Therefore, I named the steel produced by this new steelmaking method 'Kunwu Steel'!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience. It seemed that everyone was very satisfied with Yan Haoqi's name Kunwu Steel.

And from this day on, Kunwu Steel has also become one of the symbols of the Great Wei Dynasty. After the Great Wei went south and north, the reputation of Kunwu Steel resounded all over the world, and no nation did not tremble under the power of Kunwu Steel. !

Chapter 163 The City of Steel

The haze that had shrouded Yan Hao's face for many days was finally swept away, because the two major problems that bothered him were all solved, and it was a perfect solution once and for all!

With the super rice SKU-II type, the grain of the whole Wei Dynasty will not be a problem in the future, and the appearance of Kunwu Iron and Steel is also destined to grow from a rich but cowardly farming civilization to an invincible god of war nationality!

The next day, Yan Hao convened a meeting of all the military, political, and economic leaders to announce major instructions, and at all costs, equip the weapons made of Kunwu Steel to the entire army of Wei at the fastest speed.

The meeting decided that Fan Li would coordinate the national treasury to fully supply Kunwu Iron and Steel Manufacturing to the Military Supervision. Besides Zhang Feng, the heads of the three governments continued to be busy with new rice planting, cultivation and promotion, Ge Jianzhang and Lin Song also all shifted from the agricultural field to the military field.

As for the Privy Council, it cooperates with several other departments, including Junshu Temple, and is responsible for assembling the weapons newly manufactured by the Military Weapons Supervision to all armed forces in the country as quickly as possible!

Yan Hao's order is to cover the entire army of Wei within two months!In particular, it is necessary to ensure the supply of troops under the command of the four generals Li Jing, Li Cunxu, Zhao Yun and Su Hong who are fighting ahead.

Frankly speaking, this time is very tight. First of all, weapon manufacturing requires a lot of raw materials, and such a large-scale steelmaking requires a lot of iron ore. With Dawei's current exploration and mining capabilities, so much iron ore can be mined in a short period of time. Iron ore is a challenge.

Even with raw materials and new iron-making technology, such a large-scale smelting will inevitably require the expansion of smelting workshops and the deployment of craftsmen, which is a huge consumption of manpower and material resources.

Transportation and distribution is also a problem. It must be known that some areas are difficult to transport because of the steep terrain, and frontline troops may also be blocked from receiving equipment. These are problems that need to be overcome urgently.

But under Yan Hao's persistent request, and relying on the current strong national power of Wei, everyone still works together to work towards the goal set by Yan Hao.

Fortunately, after another quarter, the treasury's savings have now exceeded 8000 million taels of silver. If it weren't for the new rice promotion and disaster relief work that also consumed a lot of money a while ago, this figure would probably exceed [-] million.Such a substantial treasury is the most important confidence for Yan Hao to achieve his goal.

With a big wave of his hand, he told Fan Li: "Aiqing, you can spend as much as you want, as long as you can accomplish your goals, don't let me spend the money that should be spent!"

Fan Li was waiting for Yan Hao's words, and immediately said happily: "I will obey His Majesty's will!"

Ever since, from this day on, hiring labor, buying ores and equipment, recruiting craftsmen, and mobilizing transportation capacity, a huge sum of expenses was paid out of the treasury like water.

Since iron and steel smelting requires a large site and good transportation conditions and hydraulic conditions, the original small-scale smelting workshops in the capital are not suitable.So Yan Hao and several ministers worked together and finally decided to set up a new smelting workshop in Fangcheng in the north of Beijing.

The Qinjiang River next to Fangcheng can provide hydraulic power for the blast furnace, while the Mushan Mountain in the back is rich in minerals and can provide a large amount of iron ore for steelmaking. It is also well-connected and convenient in transportation. The geographical conditions can be described as unique.

And this decision also made Fangcheng not only a fortress to defend the capital, but also a center of gravity for the smelting industry of the whole Wei Dynasty, and even become a world-famous steel city in the future!

Chapter 164 Huge Military Expenses

As for the source of minerals, Yan Hao used his [-] points at the bottom of the box to exchange for a [Great Wei High-quality Mineral Source Distribution Map] from the system mall, and selected high-quality and high-yield mineral veins for mining.In addition, the cold meteorite vein that was exchanged at the last banquet has not been dug yet.

The production of Hanyunxuan Iron Mine is limited, and it is impossible to supply the troops of the whole Wei Dynasty. Therefore, Yan Hao ordered that the steel made from ordinary ore should be supplied to ordinary troops, while the Hanyun Xuan Iron Mine should only supply Wei's elite special forces, namely the Black Armored Dragon Riders. , Yinqiang Xiaojiedu, Huben Army, and Yujianji Fourth Division. In addition, the surplus production capacity is given priority to the supply of the Beijing Guards and front-line combat troops.

Considering that the transportation and assembly of Kunwu steel weapons from the mining of ores in various parts of the Wei Dynasty to the transportation and assembly of smelted Kunwu steel weapons are all very demanding, Yan Hao also took this opportunity to order Taifu Temple to renovate the national roads and strengthen various transportation facilities. The personnel and horses and horses of the stronghold are equipped.

This move is not just for the major replacement of the army's weapons.We must know that the business of Dawei is becoming more and more prosperous now, and the original road conditions have been slightly backward under the current situation. There is often a situation where a narrow road is congested with merchants traveling by horses and horses.Large-scale renovation of roads is also aimed at promoting the development of commerce.

All in all, the entire imperial court is now working hard for Yan Hao's two-month deadline, like a big boat that everyone is scrambling to paddle first, and is working hard and firmly moving towards the goal amidst the waves!

……

One month later, in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Fan Li stood in front of Yan Hao with a sad face.
