Daqin: At the beginning, he revealed that he was a traverser, and Ying Zheng was paralyzed

Fang Ying and his wife came out of the main hall, their expressions were different from before.

Especially his wife, with joy on her brows.

On the way back, she held the bracelet given by Ying Shiman in her arms, and she couldn't help complaining: "You still said that Chen Qing has a wolf-hearted heart and kills people without blinking an eye, how can you say that!"

"How nice Chen Fuling and His Royal Highness the Princess are!"

"He also boasted that you have known people before, and you will become a great weapon in the future."

"How can you avenge your kindness and say such unconscionable things?"

Fang Ying said angrily: "You will know how he is in the future, why did I lie to you?"

His wife stopped in her tracks, her face bristling with anger.

"Although I am a woman, I can read and write."

"If Chen Fuling is really the person you said, the Royal Council chose him as the emperor's son-in-law?"

"Princess Shiman treats people with humility and courtesy, and she has a pure heart."

"If it is true as you said, how could you marry him?"

"Oh……"

"You must hate Chen Fuling for cutting off your desire to seek immortality, so you hold a grudge."

"I didn't expect you to be such a person! I... really blind."

"You have listened to the nonsense of the alchemist. You have left home to search for immortals for three years and have not returned. I am the only one who takes care of your parents."

"Fang Ying, you are the wolf-hearted dog!"

The two actually quarreled while talking, which attracted the attention of countless people.

Chen Qing watched the excitement for a while, but didn't intend to go forward to persuade him.

According to the content of their quarrel, Fang Ying's family is well-off, his ancestors still have titles, and the wife he married is also from a well-known local family.

The young couple has no worries about food and clothing, and lives happily.

Fang Ying met an alchemist by accident and praised his roots, and since then he has become obsessed with cultivating immortals.

Later, he left his wife, children, and children, and went to the deep mountains and old forests to practice Taoism.

"Unexpectedly, I did a good deed unintentionally."

"Xiu Xian?"

"Cultivate your mother's fairy!"

"If a real immortal comes, he will have to eat me."

Chen Qing smiled wantonly.

"gentlemen……"

Fusu and Xianglixi came back from the palace, and heard his wild words as soon as they entered the door.

"Yo."

"Why did your Highness come back so early?"

Chen Qing joked with a smile.

"No wonder it's so lively today. Is this giving out gifts?"

Fu Su took a look at the supplies in the yard, feeling a little embarrassed.

The expenses in Chen Qing's mansion are low, and they got a lot of money when they got married, so they are not lenient when spending money.

There are so many people up and down in Yichun Palace.

There are countless people who work for him.

To follow Chen Qing's approach, it would not be enough to take out all the family assets.

"Yes."

"New Year's Eve and ancestor worship are not a big expense. Send things in advance so that everyone can feel at ease."

"Your Highness came to see me for business?"

Chen Qing asked casually.

Only then did Fusu let go of his worries, and said solemnly: "Tomorrow, the iron furnace will be smelted, and the emperor will come to inspect it in person."

"You are naturally indispensable during the Jieshi."

"Father specifically named your name."

Chen Qing said in surprise: "So fast?"

Fu Su nodded: "The Cheng family will be punished for treason, against the barbarians. Commander Zhao specially ordered someone to bring back the Cheng family's craftsmen and some important utensils."

"In this way, a lot of effort is naturally saved, and it is much ahead of schedule."

Chen Qing suddenly realized: "It turns out that the equipment has exploded."

Chapter 244 Building an Atomic Bomb Is Not as Good as Selling Tea Eggs

The next day, the hometown of Leihuosi.

Its establishment can be regarded as twists and turns.

Before it was officially opened, Chen Qing was removed from the post of Shaofu.

Now it belongs to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and its status is not as good as before.

When the sky was still dark, people had already begun to fill in the pits on the road surface, sweep and decorate, in preparation for the arrival of the first emperor.

Prisoners from the Six Nations and Hun laborers were specially screened.

The old, ugly, and disabled were all sent to work in the mines.

Those who can appear in front of the first emperor must be physically strong and have a good appearance.

There have always been face-saving projects in flattery, no matter ancient or modern.

Tian Zhou stayed up all night, and got up early to check every process of the iron-making workshop with his brothers and sisters, and also had to deal with the inspection of the black ice platform, so he was too busy.

It wasn't until the sun was high that the black banners lined up at the end of the road appeared.

There are more than two thousand people in the first emperor's guard of honor, riding together in formation, shouting in front and embracing in back.

Chen Qing sat on the carriage, shaded the sun with his hands and stood up to watch.

"This iron furnace has to be two stories high, maybe more than that."

"Tian Zhou's speed is too fast."

In the past, when the Cheng family built an iron smelting furnace, they sent people to Qin Mo to ask the craftsmen for help.

I think Tian Zhou is familiar with this way, so the progress is so smooth.

Ying Zheng glanced at him calmly, and then returned to the towering iron furnace.

This is definitely a monster!

It is bigger and higher than all previous iron-making furnaces in Daqin!

"See Your Majesty."

Headed by Tian Zhou, many officials in charge and a large number of entourages greeted him and saluted.

Chen Qing raised his head and looked in shock at the oval iron-making furnace that was seven or eight meters high.

When I came last time, I could only vaguely see the foundation.

Is this really a recent build?

Suddenly, he noticed something unusual.

The appearance of the blast furnace looks brand new, but the utensils of Unicom are old, as if they have been used for a long time.

On some of the exposed brick surfaces, there are scorched black traces of molten iron being burned.

"Your Highness."

"Old Zhao demolished all the bricks?"

Chen Qing asked in a low voice.

Fusu said shyly: "The Cheng family's property was confiscated, so these will naturally be confiscated. It just so happened that the Cheng family raised a lot of mules and horses, and they brought them back over the mountains together."

He pointed to the blast furnace and said: "Sir, don't underestimate this thing. The temperature required to smelt molten iron is extremely high. Ordinary bricks and stones will be crispy after a few times of firing. The falling slag will not only add impurities in the furnace, but also After a long time, the furnace will collapse."

"Every family has their own know-how about the bricks and stones used to build the inner wall. The Cheng family's craftsmanship is unrivaled in the world, and they keep it secret."

"The people at the Black Ice Terrace knew it was precious, so they tried their best to dismantle it and bring it back to Xianyang."

Chen Qing nodded slowly: "It turns out that refractory bricks are already available at this time."

China has a very long history of smelting metals.

In the Bronze Age, a large smelting furnace with a height of four meters appeared to meet the strong demand for metalware at that time.

In the Warring States period, the Seven Kingdoms competed for hegemony.

Under the strong military demand and the cultural atmosphere of contending with a hundred schools of thought, iron smelting technology developed rapidly.

Block iron smelting, crucible iron smelting, and with the improvement of technology, it finally returned to the blast furnace smelting method of the Bronze Age.

From the earliest grass mud inner wall and circular furnace, it gradually evolved into the original refractory brick inner wall and oval furnace.

The latter is safer and more durable.

The elliptical furnace body, with air supply along the shortest axis, can greatly increase the temperature of the central charge.

After the smelted molten iron flows out from the bottom, feeding continues from above, day and night.

According to the remains of a large iron smelting workshop in the Western Han Dynasty excavated by later generations, the blast furnace at that time was already six meters high, and just one furnace produced two thousand catties of iron at sunrise!

"Am I really in Daqin?"

Chen Qing followed behind the first emperor, walked around this huge oval blast furnace, and couldn't help saying with emotion.

This is full of steampunk style and strong industrial atmosphere.

Those who didn't know it thought it was an earthen workshop in a remote village in later generations.

"Your Majesty, please see."

Tian Zhou memorized the manuscript in a flurry, and spoke extremely fast.

He opened the gate from which molten iron flowed from below, and inside were layers upon layers of small pieces of charcoal and iron ore.

"This charge totals more than 1 catties."

"The lower layer is covered with charcoal, interspersed with iron ore."

"Up is coal and ore."

"When this stove is lit, there will be no need to use charcoal to light the fire in the future."

Tian Zhou said with a smile: "Thanks to Chen Shaofu for discovering the usage of Shi Nie. This thing is hotter and more solid. The villain dares to build the stove so tall."

"And the windmill blower."

"The villain has studied for a long time, but he never thought of how to condense the wind from the outside and send it into the furnace."

"I had no choice but to adopt a stupid method, and made this blower according to the style of the mill."

Chen Qing followed his gaze and looked at the complicated transmission device aside.

Connecting rods, crankshafts, and gears form a dazzling mechanical structure.

How does this look like a mill?

At least ten times more subtle!

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, looking up at the magnificent blast furnace.

"How much iron can it produce in one furnace?"

"Return to Your Majesty, according to the villain's estimate, it is about three thousand five to four thousand catties."
