Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 566 Leading the world in steelmaking

Huang Chengyan looked at Fei Qian, who suddenly looked like a fool, shook his head, smiled again, and without disturbing, he tiptoed to the side, and made a gesture to the surrounding craftsmen to make people Stay away, don't disturb Fei Qian's train of thought...

This son-in-law is good at everything, has a gentle temperament, treats people elegantly, is familiar with scriptures, and is a direct disciple of the two major literary leaders in the North and South. He easily joined the ranks of the two thousand stones, with a scepter and real power, commanding troops and horses, and a good strategy...

  Huang Chengyan clicked his tongue softly a few times. Fortunately, the old man acted quickly, hehe, otherwise he could only be drooling and greedy now, but this son-in-law is good in everything, that is, there is just one thing that is not very good!

  Huang Chengyan couldn't help but sighed.

  Suddenly, Huang Chengyan felt that his sleeves were being pulled, and an extremely familiar voice sounded beside him: "Father...then...what are you thinking?"

   "Why isn't his surname Huang!" Huang Chengyan was regretting in his heart, and blurted out instantly after being pulled by Huang Yueying.

Huang Yueying was taken aback for a moment, and then understood in seconds. She tugged at Huang Chengyan's clothes again with some sullenness, and repeated: "Father! I'm not asking what you're thinking! I'm asking... what Fei Lang-jun is thinking... "

Huang Chengyan said "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh". Where do you know...probably how to improve the craft of the crossbow..."

   "Improve the craftsmanship of the crossbow?" Huang Yueying opened her eyes wide and asked, "Isn't the craftsmanship of the crossbow quite complete now? Why do you need to change it?"

Huang Chengyan coughed twice, and said solemnly: "You don't understand this, no one uses crossbows gradually now, one is expensive, and the other is slow, now your Mr. Fei Lang can't turn back on the expensive road Now, I can only try to make this expensive one faster and more powerful... Well, no wonder the surname is Fei..."

   "Huh?" Huang Yueying blinked, not knowing why.

  Huang Chengyan coughed twice again. He joked about the name of the younger generation. Thinking about it, it would be considered disrespectful, so he kept his mouth shut.

   "But... But, the dried meat is ready..." Huang Yueying said.

Huang Chengyan looked at Fei Qian who was still immersed in thinking, pondered for a moment, then turned around and left, saying: "Let your Fei Lang-jun here alone, let's go eat first..." Before Huang Chengyan himself This is also often the case. When thinking about a problem, I forget to sleep and eat. In order to solve a problem with a piece of equipment, it is also common to go from dawn to dark, so he also knows that what Fei Qian hates most now is being interrupted, so he is careless. He left Fei Qian alone, flicked his sleeves, and decided to go to eat first.

   "..." Huang Yueying stood there dumbfounded, not knowing how to start, there was a soup made by herself for dinner at night...

  Huang Chengyan walked a few steps, and suddenly realized that Huang Yueying hadn't followed. Looking back, he saw Huang Yueying staring blankly at Fei Qian's expression, and subconsciously smacked his lips, and suddenly felt a feeling that he didn't know how to describe...

   "Yueying, let's go. If it doesn't work, let the back kitchen warm him..." Huang Chengyan said, then turned his head and left, muttering in a low voice, "Huh... he won't die of starvation if he eats less..."

   "...Oh, okay..." Huang Yueying looked at Fei Qian reluctantly, then quickly followed Huang Chengyan, and said, "Father, what did you just say?"

  Huang Chengyan was taken aback, and said solemnly: "I didn't say anything... Let's eat, eat, what's delicious at night?"

  Huang Yueying jumped for joy, smiled like a flower, and said: "I made a soup tonight!"

  Huang Chengyan said: "Then I want to have a good taste... Oh, no wonder you came to invite me to eat, I'm afraid you didn't come to invite me, but..."

  Huang Yueying's ears felt hot, and she quickly lowered her head and hugged Huang Chengyan's arm and shook it, "Ah! Father, if you say that, I... I won't do it next time..."

   "That can't be done, I will lose one meal if I eat this one," Huang Chengyan said suddenly, "I won't eat any other dishes later, and I will finish the soup made by Yueying first!"

   "Ah! Father!" Huang Yueying lowered her head and glanced at Fei Qian quickly, then pushed Huang Chengyan's back and walked forward.

  Fei Qian didn't notice Huang Chengyan and Huang Yueying's actions at all. His mind is indeed in a mess right now, with all kinds of information and methods pouring in...

  The gap of thousands of years is not a joke. Many things are related to each other, just like buckets. If one piece is missing, it is a waste.

The requirements for the industry of later generations are really too high. It is not an ordinary assembly line that can be summarized. There must be workers who are separated from agriculture and animal husbandry, and relevant supporting machinery, raw materials, etc., but now, Fei Qian does not want to use all the industries of later generations. All moved here, only thinking about completing the material improvement of the project of crossbow weapons under limited conditions.

  Drawer!

  Fei Qian has already thought of several different plans, but due to the constraints of the Han Dynasty, there is no way to complete them, such as hot rolling and cold rolling...

In the Han Dynasty, on the basis of the predecessors, in the field of iron and steel casting, there were some technologies that were absolutely ahead of the whole world. Almost every household used agricultural tools, including plowshares, columbine, 钁, 锸, rake, sickle, etc. , A complete set of tools from plowing and sowing to harvesting is almost complete. Iron and steel daily necessities such as lamps, kettles, furnaces, scissors, knives, etc.; weapons such as swords, halberds, spears, shields, knives, battle axes, arrowheads, etc., and even ductile iron and single-hole small-mouth stack casting technology appeared.

In the Western Han Dynasty, the agitation to increase the temperature in the furnace changed from manpower to the use of ox power and horsepower, and there were cow wind row and horse wind row; The wind, water and wind row, these various technologies, that is to say, the basic conditions of steel have already reached the basic conditions in the Han Dynasty, and now it is only through various technological means that the Han Dynasty iron and steel industry, which is now ahead of the whole world, will go further. Just push it to a higher stage!

Fei Qian held a wooden stick and dragged it on the ground. The links were drawn one by one, and the procedures were listed one after another. He patrolled and circled in his head, trying to integrate these procedures to achieve the final result. The effect he wanted...

   After pig iron is annealed at high temperature, a high-strength ductile cast iron (called malleable cast iron) can be obtained. The West did not understand this technology until after 1722, but China had mastered this technology in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty more than 2,000 years ago. The iron wok unearthed from the iron smelting site of the Han Dynasty in Tieshenggou, Henan, and the iron ax of the Han and Wei dynasties unearthed in Mianchi, Henan, have been tested by the laboratory of the Metal Materials Department of Beijing Iron and Steel Institute, which proves that there are very good spherical graphite...

Unearthed in Cangshan, Shandong in 1974, the gold inscription "Thirty smelt (refined) sword" was unearthed in the sixth year of the Yongchu period of the Eastern Han Dynasty (112). A smelting steel piece made of fried steel as raw material. This is the advanced stage of hundred steelmaking...

   A Han Dynasty fan kiln excavated in Nanwen County, in a rectangular kiln of about 9 square meters, more than 500 sets of stacked casting models were found. This is a fine pouring process...
