Li Shimin's will: Li Zhi, the throne belongs to your brother

"No one is allowed to tell what happened today, otherwise I will let him taste what a fire dragon is like!!"

"Yes!" The Imperial Forest Army and craftsmen quickly bowed their heads in salute, not daring to look Li Shimin directly.

They were so frightened that it was snowing now, and their foreheads were covered with sweat.

Seeing this, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Well, it's all gone."

Soon, the craftsmen dispersed, and the Imperial Forest Army became much quieter.

Li Tai, on the other hand, was full of black lines, and his awkward feet could pull out a second blast.

He really wants to explain that this fire dragon is two different things from the fire dragon you think...

But after thinking about it, forget it. The more you say, the more mistakes you make. It would be bad if they had something in their brains.

But Li Shimin hesitated to speak.

Li Tai looked amused and asked, "What does Emperor Father want to ask?"

"This fire dragon? Do you want to build a fire dragon temple or an altar to show respect?" Li Shimin asked cautiously.

Li Tai was quite speechless, so he set up a fire dragon temple...

You Li Er, really Er! !

"No, it's no big deal if you see more. There's no need to make a fuss." Li Tai quickly refused.

"Oh~" Li Shimin suddenly realized and nodded, thinking in his heart that the fire dragon was not invited, but has already been tamed?

Thinking of this, Li Shimin took a breath and murmured: "The science is so terrifying."

While talking, when Li Tai looked inside again, he saw that as the temperature rose, the hot air continuously distorted his vision, and the coals were burned red.

At this scene, Li Shimin rubbed his eyes and exclaimed.

"Like waves and water shadows, it looks like a dream.

This fire dragon is really... extremely powerful. "

Hearing Li Shimin's exclamation, Li Tai's face twitched, and he complained wildly in his heart.

Isn't the hot air distorting the vision!It is also shimmering and watery, like a dream and an illusion... the power is extremely powerful....

Li Shimin said to Li Tai solemnly.

"Fortunately, fortunately, I can't get out, otherwise I will suffer disaster, but the emperor really doesn't need to see a Fire Dragon Temple, I feel uneasy!"

Li Tai was quite speechless and said with a little disgust: "No, I really don't need... Why don't you go to the side and have a cup of hot tea to calm down, Father?"

Li Shimin was taken aback, the corners of his eyes twitched, he waved his sleeves and put his hands on his back, and said arrogantly: "...I won't go."

"Yeah." Li Tai didn't care, as long as Li Er was quieter, it was really impossible to answer this question.

Looking at the observation port, he felt that he could add more fuel and a little iron ore.

Then he turned around and directed to Yang Siqi: "Get someone to add five bags of coal!!"

"Yes!" After hearing this, Yang Siqi turned his head to the stone platform and shouted loudly: "Put five bags of coal down."

"Yes!" The two people on the side quickly responded, and randomly started to manipulate the pulley.

The people below the stone platform tied the coal to the rope, and then greeted the people above the stone platform.

Then the person above the stone platform pulled up a bag of coal, and after reaching a sufficient height, tied the rope.

Then use a retractable and fixed push device to push the loaded coal to the front of the feed port with an iron rod.

After fixing the iron rod, use a long gun to cut a hole under the bag.

The coal just falls into the feed inlet along the cut opening.

Soon, as the fuel was added, the temperature of the entire blast furnace began to rise sharply.

Li Tai and Li Shimin at the observation port soon felt that they were sweating.

Feeling that the temperature was about the same, Li Tai said to Yang Siqi:

"Put down the ore and coal, don't put too much at once, and don't let the fire go out.

You watch here, and when it melts into molten iron, come and inform me.

By the way, remember to let people watch the furnace wall, if there are cracks, don't worry about anything, just run away! ! "

"Yes!!"

Yang Siqi didn't dare to be negligent, and looked at the observation port himself after exhorting them one by one.

It's just that the sweat on his forehead showed that he was not at peace, and he was obviously thinking about something.

Cracks in the furnace wall?Could it be that this fire dragon is restless?

After exhorting Yang Siqi, Li Tai said to the puzzled Li Shimin, "Father, let's leave this place!"

"Why is this? Could it be that the emperor is hungry?" Li Shimin asked suspiciously.

Li Tai looked around at the craftsmen with their ears pricked up, and signaled Li Shimin with his eyes, "Let's talk about this matter in a secluded place."

"Well, good!" Li Shimin obviously realized something.

The two walked towards the craftsman's living area.

Li Tai explained to Li Shimin as he walked.

"This is the first time this blast furnace has been smelted, and I don't know if it will be successful.

If the blast furnace is easy to burst, it will turn into a sea of ​​flames.

That's why the son-in-law asked the father to stay away from the blast furnace. "

Chapter 87 Ironmaking Success

Li Tai didn't know if he could succeed in making iron for the first time.

It's a trivial matter if you don't practice successfully or fail.

This is not a big problem, the big deal is to spend some time rebuilding a new one.

If the furnace was not resistant to high temperature and exploded on the spot, wouldn't he and Li Er have to be cremated on the spot without leaving any bones?

That's the big deal.

In order to avoid being cremated on the spot, Li Tai had to pull Li Shimin away from the blast furnace.

After hearing this, Li Shimin showed panic and fear. It turns out that the fire dragon is so dangerous, why didn't you say it earlier?

Thinking of this, he asked with reproach in his eyes:

"Turn into... a sea of ​​fire? Could it be that the fire dragon is restless?"

"····" Li Tai's heart flashed countless shit... It's really a chicken talking to a duck, playing the piano to a cow...

I really can't explain it all at once, the pressure and high temperature resistance can't be explained at all...

Li Tai explained very reluctantly: "No..., uh... In short, the stove is in danger of bursting."

"I understand."

Listening to Li Tai's explanation, Li Shimin nodded.

It's half-understood, and it's right!The fire dragon has a bad temper, and it is possible to blow up the stove and hurt people, but fortunately, it is quite safe now.

Li Tai thought Li Shimin understood, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin looked hesitantly and asked: "Huanger, is there really no need to build a Fire Dragon Temple?"

"No need, Father, don't worry." The corner of Li Tai's mouth twitched, wondering why Li Shimin was so persistent in building the Fire Dragon Temple.

He felt physically and mentally exhausted, so he had to change the subject and said to Li Shimin: "Father, it's noon, let's get some food!"

"Alright." Li Shimin turned and said to the Imperial Forest Army.

"Get some food, let those craftsmen take turns to eat, and tell them to keep an eye on the stove, so as not to make the fire dragon angry."

The Imperial Forest Army said very seriously: "I obey the order!!!" Said that he hurriedly carried out the order.

Seeing the serious conversation between the two, Li Tai wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, holding back very hard.

And Li Shimin frowned and asked, "Emperor, what is so funny?"

"It's nothing, I just thought of something very happy~" Li Tai said after taking a deep breath.

"Oh? Let me hear it?"

"Cough..." Li Tai arranged it casually.

"A monk went down the mountain for the first time and stayed at the house of a prostitute, and the prostitute wanted to gain the master's light.

After blowing the lamp and pulling out the wax, the monk suddenly shouted: "Wonderful, wonderful, really wonderful, the front looks like a nun, and the back looks like my disciple~~""

"..." Li Shimin was speechless after hearing this: "This is so funny."

···

Not long after, hot meals were served.

Li Tai was eating deliciously, and Li Shimin didn't know what to think about, his brows were sometimes furrowed, sometimes relieved, and he was unconsciously scratching, obviously not thinking.

Looking out the wooden window, many people sat around behind Yang Siqi with their jobs in their hands to observe with him.

Soon, many craftsmen began to exclaim one after another.

Yang Siqi didn't even eat, and ran over quickly, and said to Li Tai in panic, "Your Highness, Your Highness, the fire dragon is breathing out smoke!!"

After listening, Li Tai tilted his head, squinted his eyes, his eyes were dazed and confused, trying to understand what a fire dragon spits out smoke.

"Huanger, look quickly, it's really a fire dragon breathing out smoke." Li Shimin pointed out the window and exclaimed.

Looking in the direction Li Shimin pointed, Li Tai saw red smoke steaming up.

It turns out that when you say that the fire dragon spits out smoke, it means that the blast furnace is smoking! !

Isn't this the pollutant of indigenous steelmaking?

Without dust removal, desulfurization, and denitrification... a red plume of smoke will be produced. This is the discharged pollutant. When it passes through the high altitude and combines with water, it will form acid rain.

There is no technology to deal with it at present... only let him discharge.

"Hey... this thing, don't worry about it, it's normal to smoke." Li Tai waved his hand, expressing that it's rare and strange.

"If there is nothing wrong, go and look at the stove to see if there are any cracks. This is the top priority."

"Yes!" Looking at Li Tai with a calm face, Yang Siqi inexplicably calmed down, and left with complicated emotions.

"Emperor, is it common to spit out smoke?" Li Shimin raised his head and asked Li Tai in a low voice, as if he was discussing some secret.

"This is normal!"

It is normal for ironmaking to emit smoke, and the color of the smoke is not the same. If it is gas ironmaking, it will still breathe fire!

Different types of furnaces take different time to melt iron, the general furnace takes 4~6 hours, and it is estimated to take about 8 hours.

The two have been waiting in the house bored.

The rustling snow particles had already stopped falling, and instead, heavy snow the size of goose feathers floated up, which never stopped.

Looking around, the surrounding mountains are covered with a layer of pure white, except for the place near the blast furnace, which is covered with thick snow. The thickness of the snow is already three to four centimeters.

After dinner, night fell early.

The lights outside the house were brightly lit, and the craftsmen had arranged lanterns early on. The atmosphere inside the house seemed a little quiet and depressing.

Li Shimin didn't know what he had imagined, and walked around the room a little anxiously.

And Li Tai was also a little apprehensive, and began to think about whether there was something wrong, why it hadn't turned into molten iron yet.

As the night darkened, Yang Siqi, who had been sitting at the observation port watching all day, took a sip of hot water and looked towards the observation port.

Don't worry if you don't look at it, you will see a scene you will never forget.

I saw that all the iron ore and coal in the furnace disappeared, leaving only the red molten iron and the residue floating on the molten iron, whether there were still flames and bubbles.

He was stunned and opened his mouth wide. He hadn't swallowed the hot tea he just drank, so that his mouth was drooling.

I was terrified in my heart, how many weapons can be made with so much molten iron! !

Thinking of this, he drooled and stumbled towards Li Tai's room.
