The Farmer Girl Gets Rich

It has been decades since the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and there has been no particular progress.

Therefore, when Qi Gonggong heard Gu Xiaowan say that she could let her try, Qi Gonggong was shocked and pleasantly surprised.

This Anping princess always has some weird things in her mind. Maybe she can really have an idea. If you can really forge weapons better than Nanling, then the emperor won't have to worry about Nanling iron smelting technology at all!

Thinking of this, Father Qi was a little excited and asked Gu Xiaowan: "Princess Anping, do you really know how to smelt and forge iron? The emperor has been so troubled about this weapon for so many years. We usually use better weapons. They were all picked up in Nanling on the battlefield, but there is always no reason to pick up things that others have used, and I don't know how Nanling was smelted and forged. The weapons made are much better than ours!"

Although Gu Xiaowan had never practiced iron, she had visited many iron and steel smelting enterprises when she was studying, and she had also learned from many masters.

Weapons made by ancient smelting are either too hard or too brittle. The reason is steel.

The higher the carbon content of steel in a reasonable range, the harder it is.

Gu Xiaowan said: "Daddy Qi, don't worry. I have read the knowledge of iron smelting and forging in a book, but I have never tried it myself. If this time, we will go to the Weapon Pavilion and try it. To make a weapon even stronger than Nanling, then we don’t need to use Nanling’s iron smelting technology!"

Father Qi's excited legs were swinging: "If that's the case, princess, you are the number one hero of the Qing Dynasty!"

Not much nonsense, the two quickly entered the Weapon Pavilion, saying it was the Weapon Pavilion, but the only purpose here is to smelt iron and forge, because all the raw materials used in weapons are iron. The weapons forged by a forge division are also vulnerable.

The amount of steel in the weapon determines the quality of the weapon, so there will be many shots that have seen cutting iron like mud, but it is just the amount of steel in the weapon.

The more brittle the weapon, the less steel content in it, as long as it is hit by a hard object, it will break, but if there is too much steel in it, it will easily break.

Therefore, you must pay attention to a degree in everything, Gu Xiaowan guessed, these masters have no idea about the mystery of iron smelting and forging, only this will forge batches of unqualified weapons!

After entering the Weapon Pavilion, the forging masters saw that the emperor's father-in-law was here, and they hurriedly gathered around and said, "Duke Qi, is the emperor coming to check again? Hey, father-in-law Qi, it's not that we didn't care. , Really, look, hey"

A master pointed at the scrap iron all over the floor. It was either bent or broken, and a sword was lying there all the time. Gu Xiaowan's gaze fell on the sword, and Father Qi saw it. , Said: "That's the Nanling sword we picked up on the battlefield. Look, these abandoned weapons are made like this by it!"

Father Qi sighed helplessly.

Gu Xiaowan picked up a piece of iron that was broken into two halves and asked, "Master, what is your last name? How long have you been in the Weapon Pavilion?"

The one who came first should be the one in charge here.

The master hurriedly said: "Caomin's surname is Wan, I have been in Weapon Pavilion for more than a year!"

Gonggong Qi on the side said, "Master Wan, when the Weapon Pavilion was built, he was already here!"

Gu Xiaowan nodded and asked: "Master Wan, I don't ask how you smelted iron before, how can you forge it, can you help me, do you have any unsmelted iron? "

She intends to forge from iron smelting.

Master Wan saw a little girl talking, and didn't dare to despise it. After all, Father Qi brought it personally, and said, "Yes, what's the use of this girl?"

Father Qi said, "This is Princess Anping!"

When the masters saw it, it turned out that it was Princess Anping, who came to visit one after another. Gu Xiaowan shook her hand and said, "There are not so many false gifts, let's start smelting iron first!"

The master hurriedly took out the ore and put it in the cauldron to burn it. Gu Xiaowan told him not to rush, and then said: "You go get charcoal, tempeh, and dirt!"

Master Nawan was still a little surprised when he saw this kind of burning for the first time, but he looked at the father-in-law Qi on the side and nodded instructing them to do it. No one dared to speak and went to find charcoal.

Gu Xiaowan once told Master Tie Tie that the chapter of smelting was specifically written in Tiangong Kaiwu.

This technique is to shape the workpiece, put it in a crucible and other containers, cover it with charcoal, tempeh, and dust, and heat it outside the container. Charcoal and tempeh are naturally used for carburizing, and soil dust is still a dispersant. The advantage of this carburizing technology is that the carburizing of the workpiece is very uniform and stable, and the carbon potential is very high, and the efficiency and effect are quite good.

In fact, this kind of technology is still in use even in modern times, and it is the so-called "Steel Method".

After bringing the things Gu Xiaowan wanted to use, the masters began to braise it. It would take a lot of time to cook this. Gu Xiaowan and Qi Gong agreed to come back tomorrow morning.

Father Qi went out of the Weapon Pavilion, and seeing Gu Xiaowan, who had been thinking about it all the time, he was a little confused: "Princess Anping, does your method really work?"

Gu Xiaowan didn’t know if it would work, but Tiangong Kaiwu once wrote about such a forging method, and it should not be much worse, so she said: “Father Qi, don’t worry about it. Go back and serve the emperor quickly. I don’t know, and I’ll know it only after the weapon is forged tomorrow and compared with Nanling!"

When Qi Gonggong saw Princess Anping say this, he nodded and agreed: "The servant will send the princess back!"

Gu Xiaowan waved her hand and said, "No, the Princess Palace and the Imperial Study Room are not in the same direction. The emperor should be awake at this moment. You should go back quickly. The emperor can't leave you!"

Seeing that Princess Anping was so attentive to the emperor, Qi Gonggong was also very happy in his heart, and smiled: "If the emperor knows that you are so attentive to him, the emperor will be happy in his heart!"
