Chapter 440

After a full cup of tea, Old Liu slowly picked up one of the heavy metal ingots. After carefully identifying it for a long time, an incredible expression appeared on his face. "Steel... is really stainless steel, and it is also the best stainless steel!"

The crowd suddenly became an uproar, and several craftsmen howled in the sound of their father-in-law remarriage, shouting and steel coming out.

"It's really steel, and it's also very good quality steel. Oh my God...Zhuang Yuan Gong, oh no, you're like a living god, you can actually make the best steel for direct pig iron..."

At this time, Wang Yang also picked up one of the steel ingots weighing about two kilograms. After thinking about it, someone brought a piece of cooked iron and then scraped it hard on the surface of the cooked iron sheet. Sure enough, a shiny scratch was scratched.

"It's really the best steel. Oh my God, sir, you've succeeded again. You can just make steel without frying or pouring it. This... this is a miracle..." Zhao Ji had already started to say something no matter how he said.

He really didn't know what to say. He looked at this piece of steel that could scratch the cracked iron with the edges. If this thing was made into a sword, it would definitely be very sharp.

"What a pity, it's quite difficult to forge such fine steel into a sword. After all, this shape..." Chen Lao Blacksmith said with regret on his face.

"...I'm saying Lao Chen, what crazy things do you say? With these treasures, what kind of swords and swords can you do?" Boss Wu's mouth was trembling, and he reached out to cover his heart, fearing that his old heart would not be able to withstand such surprises.

"Steel, these are the best steel. I've been frying steel for a lifetime. I can make such good steel three or five times a year and I can laugh. I didn't expect that you, Zhuang Yuan, will directly make the steel. If you didn't see it with your own eyes, even if you were someone else, you wouldn't believe it if you were beaten to death."

"Zhuangyuan Gong, why don't you give me some advice? I want to try it out myself to see if I can directly make the steel..."

Seeing the old Liu head looking at him, Wang Yang nodded naturally. "Of course there is no problem. And then, not only you, Lao Liu head, but also all the old craftsmen in our workshop who have signed long-term contracts must learn how to make steel with pliers..."

When Wang Yang said this, he glanced at the shopkeeper Wu, and the shopkeeper Wu immediately understood. "Of course, masters, as long as you work hard, the more good steel we produce in the workshop in the future, the more rewards we will get."

After hearing about Manager Wu, the old craftsmen couldn't help but feel moved.

"What did the shopkeeper say? Only fools can leave if they can work for the top scholar, right?" one of the old craftsmen said loudly.

Suddenly, everyone was connected. Wang Yang looked at these energetic old craftsmen and felt full of affection. Oh... I didn't expect that he, a talented man from a brothel, now feels like he is changing his identities and changing his job to a steel talent.

According to Wang Yang's method, a furnace of molten steel was released again, and the quality of this furnace was also very good. This time, because of preparation in advance, it was no longer made into a rectangular steel ingot, but directly made into steel sheets about three feet long and no more than one finger, or steel plates.

The excited old craftsmen did not mean to stop, but continued to practice the three furnaces before stopping.

Because it is experimental blast furnaces and steelmaking, each furnace has about ten kilograms of molten steel. However, the steel ingots and steel plates cast from these four furnaces of molten steel have proved that the success rate of this plier pot steelmaking method can reach 100%.

"The last furnace was waiting for almost one-third of the incense stick than before, so the steel I got seemed to be more elastic than the fine steel, but it seemed to be tougher than mild steel..."

"Well... it seems that if you add one-third of the incense stick, you should be able to make the mild steel that we usually stir-fry."

For the next two days, Wang Yang squatted there because many of the wonderful ideas in his mind were not over yet, such as how to make springs with high carbon steel and various wear-resistant parts.

Of course, it is also necessary to make a batch of wear-resistant parts suitable for hydraulic machinery, and it is also necessary to let the old blacksmith Chen create several excellent treasure knives.

Wang Yang remembers that mild steel is also a very good material. It seems that in later scientific discussions, the cold forged armor in ancient times seemed to use mild steel.

And mild steel is the most resistant to processing...

The pair of cold-wrought iron armor in Xixia from the treasures of Duan Wang Mansion in front of Wang Yang was bright and bright. Each piece of armor had only one bulge. It can be seen that the thickness there was more than twice the thickness of the armor.

In other words, the Western Xia monkeys recorded in history, yes... Yes, the cold-forged armor worn by the monkeys in Xixia did reach a thickness of two-thirds less than the original thickness.

Only in this way can the impurities in the armor sheet be greatly reduced. In addition, the armor made by cold forged under thousands of hammers exceeds that of the Song Dynasty's iron armor.

"Sir, when will we go to present these treasures to the official family? We have been here for almost ten days. The steel swords and swords that should be made have been created, and the two officials from the Ministry of Works have also recorded all the processes..." Zhao Ji yawned a big yawn, sat up from the couch, and took a look at the time. Well, this afternoon was really comfortable.

"No hurry, we still miss this. As long as we add this, it will be perfect." Wang Yang's big hand stroked the protrusion of the wart armor. "Let's go find the old Chen and ask him to help do something."

"Old Chen, I have worked so hard these days, but now it seems that I have to continue to work harder." Wang Yang found the old blacksmith Chen who was resting and directing his disciples to beat swords there.

"Zhuangyuan Gong, what do you want Lao Chen to do? You just say something, what can you do with hard work."

"I need your help to build a pair of armor." Wang Yang looked at Chen Lao Blacksmith with a smile and said.

Chen's blacksmith Chen's expression instantly seemed to be swallowing delicious food just now, and suddenly he found that the delicious horns in his mouth turned into a dog's smell.

"What, is there something wrong with what I said?" Wang Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows curiously and asked.

Zhao Ji, who had been standing by his side, poked Wang Yang gently. "Sir, if you cast a private armor, you will have to be a hundred sticks, a fine of ten thousand yuan, and a serious crime of three thousand miles."

"Please, I'm not casting it to wear it myself. I'm not trying to design a good armor for our Song Dynasty that is both light and tough. What's important is that the protection is definitely not inferior to the armor of the monkeys in Xixia."

"Sir, are you saying you have found a solution?" Zhao Ji finally thought of something. It seems that he is busy with Wang Yang here these days. The key point is that Wang Yang once told the emperor that he can definitely create the fine armor of the Song Dynasty that is no less than that of the Western Xia Jiangzi Armor.
