Everyone suddenly realized.
Chen Qing said with emotion: "This is not cast iron, it is too brittle and easy to crack."
He pointed to the horseshoes and stirrups: "It's all steel."
"Senior Brother Tian Zhou and I worked together for a long time, and with the help of Cheng's craftsmen, the pig iron produced in the blast furnace turned into low-quality steel."
"If you want to go further..."
"Difficult!"
Pig iron has a low melting point, high carbon content, and a brittle and hard texture.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, iron smelting in China has become a common practice.
However, when the first emperor ruled the world, the weapons were mainly bronze.
Pig iron needs to be heated and forged again and again to become low-carbon steel, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive and expensive.
Chen Qing probably knew the principle, and He Tianzhou pondered for a long time, and poured the molten iron produced by the blast furnace into the secondary heating cellar.
Then put in mineral powder, keep blowing and stirring, and finally produce low-carbon steel that is easy to process and has strong flexibility.
As for the steel with better material, the difficulty of smelting is not ordinary.
First coal needs to be processed into coke, and then a higher furnace temperature is required.
If you want to increase the temperature of the furnace, you need better blower equipment, so that the cold air blown in can be preheated to hundreds of degrees, or even seven or eight degrees of hot air.
Ordinary wooden bellows and leather bags can't bear it at all.
And the refractory material of the furnace wall should be further strengthened.
Another point, it is better to let the stove turn up instead of manual stirring.
Chen Qing talked about all the key relationships, and made Tian Zhou very worried.
Now it can be proved that he is not a time traveler, but just an ordinary little genius.
The quality of steel currently produced can only rely on metaphysics.
Whenever luck is good, the low-carbon steel produced by smelting has good properties, and it is used to make weapons.
Those of poor quality were made into armor and accessories.
Chen Qing could only pin his hopes on Qin Mo.
Let's hope they can brainstorm some way to further improve the iron-making process.
After hearing Chen Qing's complaints, Fu Su smiled and said, "Since steel smelting is so difficult, Daqin has already taken the lead."
"According to the ability of the Xiongnu, it will not be possible to produce qualified iron in another 100 years."
"By then, Daqin will definitely become stronger."
"Mr. is too worried."
Meng Gan nodded: "According to the general's opinion, with these two things, we should first train a strong cavalry. When the time comes, we will go to the north and kill the Xiongnu!"
Zhang Han also agreed and said: "It is not advisable to waste food because of choking. The soft saddles in the Qin army are much simpler than the saddles brought by Chen Fuling, and the Xiongnu still can't use them. What are we afraid of!"
Chen Qing smiled wryly and said, "You guys think too simply."
"The Huns can't fight, can't they run away?"
"Isn't it a clear proof that many countries in the Western Regions have suffered from it?"
"They don't do production, and they can't smelt qualified copper and iron, but further west...someone will."
"What I'm afraid of is that the Xiongnu moved westward, learned my saddle and shoes, and then used them against the Europas."
"War has always been a catalyst for technology."
"Your Majesty is thinking about Macedonia. Sooner or later, Daqin will fight with him."
"What if we find out that they have fully equipped light and heavy cavalry when we have assembled our troops and horses and traveled thousands of miles to reach Europa?"
"There was no news at Jieshi, and there were no reinforcements."
"just in case……"
Chen Qing dragged out the ending: "Who can bear the responsibility?"
Fusu and the others couldn't help but look serious, frowning and thinking hard.
Chen Qing glanced around and sighed secretly.
Firearms did not gain dominance on the battlefield in the early days, at least not until the Maxim machine gun was invented.
Before the appearance of stirrups, it was difficult for the Huns to aim fixedly on their galloping horses. In most cases, they stopped their horses and shot arrows after sprinting close.
However, Daqin's crossbowmen have double suppression of range and power.
A hundred steps away, crossbow arrows can reach but bows cannot.
Within a hundred steps, the strong crossbow is fast and accurate.
It is not without reason that the Xiongnu have been hanged and beaten by Daqin.
The appearance of Takahashi saddles and stirrups will give Daqin a bonus of at most 10%, and will greatly reduce the advantage of the strong crossbow.
But for the Huns, their combat power has soared by at least 300%!
Fusu hesitated for a long time before he said leisurely: "Sir once said that Alexander led an army to conquer thousands of miles, and a barbaric country and a small country were vulnerable to him."
"Even if the Xiongnu move westward, there is nothing they can do when they encounter such a powerful country?"
"Maybe it was hit head-on, and maybe it was destroyed."
Meng Gan echoed and said: "Since there are also people in the West who smelt copper and iron and build cities, it is not so easy to be defeated by the Huns."
Zhao Chong comforted: "The Chen Fuling only expected the worst situation. Since the Great Qin unified the world, the remnants of the six countries are still unwilling to lie dormant, and there are endless cases of conspiracy. If the Europeans have some backbone, how can they let the Xiongnu sit on the throne?" ?”
Chen Qing couldn't help laughing.
No matter how you say it, these people just don't believe it.
"You guys..."
"The bereaved dog that went out here is also a master when it comes to Europa!"
"Well, let me tell you about it."
Chapter 268 Old Zhao, this is not a memory
Chen Qing ordered people to remove the food and drink, and put the box in the middle of the table.
"This is Daqin."
However, he took some cups and saucers and placed them in a half-circle along the left side: "This is the Ministry of the Grassland."
"As we all know, the Huns are like hooligans."
"If I am strong, he will be weak, and if I am weak, he will be strong."
"When Zhu Xia was in chaos, the Xiongnu took the opportunity to invade our Chinese territory and plundered wantonly. In the vicinity of Jiuyuan County in the north, including the west of Dasan Pass, many places were recaptured from the Xiongnu, right?"
The crowd nodded.
Chen Qing moved the cup and saucer out for a certain distance, signaling Daqin to expel the Huns.
"More than 100 years later, does Your Highness still remember the Han Dynasty that Weichen mentioned?"
Fusu nodded, indicating that he remembered it.
"The Han and the Xiongnu fought fiercely for many years."
"To defeat the Huns completely."
"After some of them surrendered, they merged with Huaxia and were called the Southern Huns."
"There is another part, called the Northern Huns."
Chen Qing shook his head: "After the defeat, he fled all the way west. The Han Dynasty is not easy to mess with, and they will pursue them tirelessly."
"The Northern Xiongnu broke Wusun Kingdom first, and occupied its land to recuperate."
"The Han army arrived again, and the northern Xiongnu abandoned their country and fled, and successfully transferred to the western Kangju country. At this time, they are already very close to Europa."
He dragged a plate and kept moving, getting farther and farther away from Daqin.
Fusu couldn't help wondering: "The Northern Xiongnu are already bereaved dogs. How can you say that Wusun and Kangju are also great countries in the Western Regions. If they say they lose, they will lose?"
Chen Qing said with a playful smile: "Just like today's Xiongnu, if they can't defeat the Great Qin, can they also defeat you, a small country in the Western Regions?"
Just now he suddenly remembered something interesting.
The northern Xiongnu really resembled the style of Chang Kaishen of later generations.
The diary wiped out [-] million enemies and successfully transferred to Daiwan Island.
One of the defeated generals panicked and fled to the Golden Triangle.
In order to survive, they started smuggling and selling white noodles, which the locals are keen on.
This remnant soldier was beaten up by the Eighth Route Army in China, but their military quality and combat effectiveness have become a crushing existence in the Golden Triangle.
Within a few months, after defeating several local armed forces, they monopolized all smuggling businesses and became a dominant existence!
At that time, many upper-level figures in Lao Myanmar also participated in it. There is no doubt that such behavior is a predatory behavior.
Then Lao Myanmar sent regular troops to destroy it, and even used aircraft and artillery.
No one could have imagined that this group of remnants and defeated generals actually resorted to the guerrilla tactics of the Eighth Route Army, and beat the old Burmese army to the point of raising a white flag in a few days.
All three planes were shot down with machine guns, and the cannons were seized as trophies.
This incident caused a sensation in Southeast Asia, and the old Burmese officials were naturally furious.
The second time, a full [-] regular troops, plus [-] Indian mercenaries mobilized the crowd and marched to the Golden Triangle.
The remnants of the Guo army are only more than [-] people, and they are still scattered in various strongholds.
The results were even more surprising.
The [-] old Burmese regular troops were beaten to pieces, and the [-] Indian mercenaries were almost wiped out.
The remnants of the Guo army won a complete victory with one against ten!
What was even more amazing was that Chang Kaishen was extremely excited when he heard about this.
He immediately ordered the remnants of the pot army to march like Yunnan and start a counterattack.
One against ten against Lao Mian, at least two or three against eight routes, right?
then……
All things coexist.
The remnants of the Guo army were beaten again and fled back to the Golden Triangle in a hurry.
"Sir, what are you thinking, smiling so happily?"
Fusu asked curiously.
"fine."
"It's just gone."
Chen Qing sorted out his thoughts, and continued, "Everywhere the Xiongnu went, they basically continued the process of looting, recuperating, and then the local tribes fought back and continued to flee."
"After 300 years, one of them gradually grew stronger and went west to Europe."
"There are many battles and victories along the way, and there are few enemies."
"At its peak, the country's territory was even worse than Daqin's."
It is really hard to say how much blood relationship the Huns have with the Huns.
After all, after migrating all the way, the race has been diluted many times, and a lot of local blood has been added.
However, according to the DNA testing of later generations, the closest genes to the Huns are the Mongols and Inuit.
Their ancestors came from Northeast Asia, the Monan region of Daqin.
As for how to get to Europa... anyway, it's definitely not a trip or a walk when you're full.
