I! Jar merchant, Qin Shihuang prescribes the elixir of longevity at the beginning

Chapter 215



Its practicality.

But it's no worse than papermaking.

Papermaking is biased towards the prosperity of Wendao, while 'Advanced Iron Smelting' is biased towards the upgrading of military equipment, which can make the Daqin army more sharp!

The basic principle of iron metallurgy is to use carbon or carbon monoxide to reduce the divalent iron in iron ore to become iron element.

Iron smelting compares copper and tin to make bronze.

Iron extracted from iron ore requires higher temperatures and more complex processes.

In general, iron is harder than bronze, while steel is harder than iron and can bounce back when bent.

In every respect, iron and steel are superior to bronze in making weapons and tools.

And once the secrets of steelmaking are revealed, iron and steel are much cheaper than bronze.

Nowadays, almost all the weapons made by Daqin are bronze, and iron tools are not used on a large scale due to immature technology, so the importance of this 'advanced iron smelting technique' is self-evident.

To know.

Daqin era.

Bronze, but the main currency.

The use of bronze to forge weapons is equivalent to using money to arm soldiers, resulting in the scarcity of domestic copper money, and the wear and tear of equipment in every big war also needs to be repaired and forged with solid bronze.

If iron can replace bronze, this is undoubtedly a good choice.

Not only can the problem of insufficient bronze be greatly alleviated, but the weapon can directly improve the quality of the equipment of the Great Qin Warriors to a higher level.

"Not only iron smelting."

"Even the forging method is available."

"It is worthy of being called 'advanced iron smelting'."

Li Xiaohan glanced at the above content casually, and he roughly knew it by heart.

In addition to the most basic 'iron smelting'.

There are also two types of wrought iron into steel process technologies recorded by the Northern Song Dynasty scientist 'Shen Kuo' - the regimental steel method and the hundred steelmaking method!

The group steel method (or steel filling method) is a low-temperature steelmaking method in ancient China.

Tuangang is a mixture of pig iron and soft iron.

It is made by the process of "mud sealing and forging".

This steelmaking method was widely used in ancient times, and many steel parts were made by this method.

For example, the craftsman of the Northern Dynasty Dynasty, Qi Wu Huaiwen, made the "Su Iron Knife", which is extremely sharp and can "cut armor through thirty lashes", which is forged by the regimental steel method.

..................

The 100-steelmaking method is to mix the iron with carbon by smelting, and then forge it to make the carbon mixed into the mixture evenly distributed.

The grains are thinned and the original impurities are removed, so as to obtain high-quality steel.

Shen Kuo used the process of "noodles" to make a vivid analogy for this steelmaking method, he compared pure steel to the "tendon" in the noodles, "full of soft noodles, gluten is seen", refined iron after a hundred times of forging to become pure steel.

..................

As long as you can thoroughly understand the three technologies of iron smelting, group steel method, and hundred steelmaking method.

For today's Daqin, it is also quite beneficial.

"Although it's just a white light, it can just solve Old Zhao's urgent needs."

"What is this written above?"

Huan Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked curiously.

He hadn't seen it yet, so he didn't know what it was for, and he didn't know why it would ease his immediate needs.

"This is - iron smelting method."

"As long as it is integrated, it can eliminate the bronze weapons of the current Daqin army."

"All the staff were replaced with iron weapons, and the quality was directly improved by a level."

"At that time, it will be easier to conquer the Western Empire."

".............,"

Li Xiaohan said with a smile.

Imagine that when the three major Western empires were still using bronze, the Great Qin Empire had all been replaced with iron.

The two sides fought each other, just one round of kung fu.

The Great Qin pawn cut off the opponent's weapon.

The opponent's weapon hit the body of the Great Qin pawn, and he couldn't even break the defense.

And so it goes.

Defeating enemy forces is as simple as eating and drinking.

In the era of cold weapons, iron tools are almost at the peak of existence, unless hot weapons appear directly, otherwise it is impossible to technically surpass the equipment forged by iron smelting, regimental steel method, and hundred forging steel method.

“.」 As it is, it seems that those craftsmen who are raised by widows are going to be busy again.

Ying Zheng nodded and said.

During this time, almost many of the things that came out of the qi luck jar needed the help of craftsmen to be able to realize it.

Whether it is the curved plow, the fine salt purification method, or the current papermaking technology, iron smelting method.

Without the power of craftsmen, it would simply not have been possible to realize it.

"So, Old Zhao, don't you want to improve the treatment of craftsmen a little and increase their enthusiasm?"

"Promotion?"

In the era of Daqin.
