Weird Three Kingdoms

Chapter 1986: The industry is new, Yugang is reborn

That meal, Zhuge Liang ate very carefully.

But Fei Qian didn't know if he would have some experience after eating.

As for Zhuge Liang's future, will he come to some kind of insights because of this, will he understand that the so-called simple people's livelihood is the foundation of this world, and this is beyond Fei Qian's control, because Zhuge Liang is very smart like Guo Jia people, and smart people have their own models and methods of understanding the world, and it is most effective only when they figure it out.

And the longest...

Just like Zhuge Liang in history, even if he was hypocritical or dictatorial, at least he did what he said, "Dedicate yourself to death and die."He didn't plan for the throne like Sima Yi, not because he lacked ability, but because he didn't bother to do it, and was so busy that even his own son didn't have enough time to teach him.

When there is only one step away from the greatest temptation, those who can control their behavior and not take that step are worthy of admiration, because there are too many people who kneel and lick directly before the temptation.

Of course, the experience is different, and the results are also somewhat different, just like steel, the forging mode is different, and the quality of the output is also different.

Zhuge Liang may still not understand why Fei Qian kept Jingzhou, but Fei Qian hopes that one day Zhuge Liang will be able to figure it out.This is why Fei Qian took Zhuge Liang to have a farm meal.

Sometimes, the angle of thinking about the problem is different, and the result will be completely different.

Zhuge Liang is not a qualified politician until now, and he has not even reached his original standard in history. In short, he is really just a youthful version, which looks similar in appearance and performance in normal times, but if When the load is high, it may not be smooth.

Although Zhuge Liang is already close enough to the grassroots, even plowing the fields in Nanyang himself, but Fei Qian believes that it is just experience, life experience, like some big star or actor, and then pretends to be a vegetable, but if you really want to Do you farm and farm all year round, hehe, sorry.

So, after all, Zhuge Liang's angle is much better than Chen Qun's, but he still doesn't stand low enough...

There is no doubt that the gentry has a promoting effect on the whole big man, but at the same time, the disadvantages of the gentry are slowly showing up, and it is undoubtedly revealed at the moment.To use an analogy, the gentry is like the brain to the big man. At first, it existed as the basis of wisdom and guided the big man to overcome obstacles, but now the brain wants to occupy the space of the hands and feet, and then tries to swallow all the hands and feet into his stomach... …

Only one brain is unable to resist foreign enemies, just like the way of Confucius and Mencius, the prosperous Song Dynasty.No, or lack of brains, only strong hands and feet will not work, just like the Yuan Dynasty, it cannot last long.

Therefore, there must be a degree, there must be a brain, there must be hands and feet, and there must be iron and blood.

Chen Qun, Lu Su, and Zhuge Liang all have their own standpoints and perceptions, so they all see part of it, but they also ignore other things. From Fei Qian's perspective, it is not the three of them who push the world forward What you see is the appearance, but the inner connections under the appearance...

Nongsang solves the problem of survival, craftsman technology drives productivity, and the development of productivity will reduce costs and increase profits. Commerce and trade will roll these products to generate more added value, and then the children of the gentry will record and summarize to provide ideas And direction, and leading the continuous upward and outward development, this is the foundation of Feiqian's current strength, and it is also the model that Dahan hopes to continue in the future.

Every link is very important, and every part cannot be lost.

Just like spring plowing and mulberry farming are very important, but industry is equally important.

Feiqian is now in Chang'an's workshop. This is the lower reaches of the Wei River in Chang'an. It is more convenient to use water power or sewage.No way, in this age, it doesn't matter too much.Around the workshop, there is also a large school field, where soldiers are stationed all year round. On the one hand, they train soldiers, and on the other hand, they are responsible for the security patrol and defense here.

Here, Fei Qian is not boasting, but a metallurgical workshop with the most complete technology and the most advanced.Half of the craftsmen originally in the workshop in Pingyang were transferred here. In other words, the construction of the Chang'an workshop base was completed, which doubled the advanced metallurgical industry under Fei Qian's command.

The workshop in Pingyang is now mainly developing some more confidential things, and then Huang Dou, a master craftsman in the Huang family, is in charge. Relatively speaking, those that are more popular and need a large amount of output are transferred to Chang’an. On the one hand Relatively speaking, the transportation is more convenient. On the one hand, there are more abundant water resources than in Pingyang, which can provide a larger-scale production of some items, especially steel.

Of course, the construction of the workshop cannot be done in a day or two, and the cooperation of the blast furnace and hydraulic equipment also needs to be adjusted. Therefore, until now, the workshop here has entered a complete body and is moving towards a higher technical direction.

From a certain point of view, the technological development of the Han Dynasty in China benefited from the legacy of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Period, and also from the ambitious Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, or in other words, from the war.

In order to gain an advantage in war, the Qin Dynasty pushed the manufacture of bronze ware to its peak.

In the Han Dynasty, in order to fight against the Huns, the entire iron craftsmanship also developed by leaps and bounds.

Metallurgy is an important part of the entire treasury of science and technology. This kind of technology is not just based on the imagination of literati, nor does it rely entirely on the hard work of craftsmen, but through continuous trials and failures. To sum up, it is possible to bloom gorgeous flowers.

When Fei Qian arrived in the Han Dynasty, he felt that the metallurgical technology of the Han Dynasty was very wonderful...

The start of China in the Bronze Age is actually relatively backward. Only a few small pieces of bronze ware appeared in the late Neolithic ruins about 4000 years ago, and the start of metallurgical technology was much later than that of the Mediterranean.

In the Shang Dynasty, it was the first time that ironware, copper ax and iron blades appeared, and this iron was an iron-nickel alloy, which is a typical meteorite texture, and it was very likely that it was smelted from the sky.In the Western Zhou Dynasty, the basic situation in metallurgy was still not much developed, and iron smelting was still not possible.

At a certain period in the Spring and Autumn Period, the Chinese finally found a way to smelt iron.

It should be said that the start of iron smelting was relatively late and relatively low.

At the same time, what makes Huaxia even more sad is that the quality of Huaxia's iron ore is not very good...

Perhaps it is negative and negative, and perhaps the worse the suppression, the more it can stimulate the "root" of the Chinese people. Since the Han Dynasty, Huaxia has embarked on a different, even weird, iron-smelting road.

In fact, before the development of metallurgical technology in the Han Dynasty, the various warring states that fought in the melee on the land of China, including Qin, which was at the peak of bronze, had already started to improve the quality of iron products.In the metal detection of ironware in the Warring States Period, a structure similar to that of ductile iron was found. In the forging technology, the skill of folding and forging was also highlighted, and the blower was also highlighted at the same time.However, due to the quality of iron ore, until the end of the Warring States period, there was still no qualified steel that could be used directly from the furnace.

Ever since, the people of the Han Dynasty said, forget about the ball, the old man should not directly produce good steel in one furnace, let's produce cast iron first...

Then, with the cooperation of craftsmen and technicians in the Han Dynasty, a very strange result appeared in the history of metallurgy. Liquid metallurgical products and continuous and uninterrupted production processes appeared directly!
And this model, until 2000 years later, is still in use...

That's why Feiqian finds it weird, because if the clothing and the production workshop are changed, the essence of the production process is actually not much different from that of later generations.

Then, because cast iron was too brittle, the "steel frying method" was born!You know, the steel frying method appeared in the West, but it was in the 17th century. Although the raw materials and production tools are somewhat different, the process is the same.

So far, Fei Qian has still not been able to find out the method of "stir-frying steel", which craftsman, or which gentry son invented it. Anyway, I have not seen specific records. It seems that it was so weird during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. It appeared, but only the method was preserved, but there was no name of the inventor.

Cast iron is because it contains too much carbon, so when the cast iron is heated to a certain temperature, the carbon in it will continue to react with the air and be stirred at the same time, just like stir-frying, which is called the stir-frying method.If done properly, you can directly get good quality steel, and then wrought iron.

Of course, in the actual process, over-stirring is a common thing, so the probability of accidentally frying mature iron is very high.Wrought iron cannot be used for weapons, so what Feiqian is doing in this workshop is the prototype of the alloy, the "steel pouring method".

Over-fried wrought iron or low-carbon steel, plus cast iron or high-carbon steel with high carbon content, are heated to a certain level, and then forged to make them fully fused, and carbon transfers to each other in it, and finally steel is formed.

Thanks to the increase in steel production, not only the armor and weapons of soldiers have been strengthened, but the cost of iron tools used by ordinary farmers has also been reduced. The use of a large number of iron tools also allows farmers to Plowing and planting with less effort, etc., naturally increased grain production...

It's a pity that Fei Qian suddenly thought of Zhuge Liang, and couldn't help but shook his head. When he took Zhuge Liang to eat a farm meal yesterday, Zhuge Liang didn't notice this, or he didn't say it. Of course, it may be I thought that these tools were distributed by Feiqian or leased to these farmers for use, but I didn't care about the things contained in them.

Fei Qian thought of Zhuge Liang shaking his head, but he startled Tai Shiming who was beside him.

Tai Shiming was originally the head of the workshop in Beidi, but now he has been transferred to Chang'an. He is naturally quite satisfied with the construction of the new workshop, otherwise he would not have invited Fei Qian to come for inspection, but he did not expect that Fei Qian would actually Shaking his head, this, is this something wrong?
Was it a craftsman who made a mistake?Or is the sanitation management in that place not doing well?Or is there any place where the production safety equipment is not in place?

Tai Shiming's eyeballs couldn't help turning around, and his head was sweating slightly. He looked at the area where the raw materials were piled up, and then checked to see if there was anything wrong...

Fei Qian stood on the high platform in the center of the workshop, looked around, and didn't notice the nervousness of Tai Shiming behind him.

The workshop occupies a large area and is divided into several parts, such as the smelting area, the forging area, the raw material area, etc., separated by a one-person-high wall and roads.The most conspicuous one is naturally the smelting area, where the blast furnaces are lined up along the Weishui River, emitting thick black smoke.Busy craftsmen and ordinary workers are carrying fuel or ore.The loudest sound is in the wrought iron area. Beside some stoves, blacksmiths are clanging red iron blocks, mixed with the huge roar of water cones hitting, which seems to form a somewhat steampunk atmosphere. Scenes.

This is the industry of the Han Dynasty, and this is the change brought about by Fei Qian's efforts.

In fact, strictly speaking, Feiqian has not improved much, nor has there been a trans-epochal change like steam locomotives, but Feiqian has indeed pushed the metallurgical industry of the Han Dynasty a big step forward, and the power of this step is presented. Here it is.

The "steel frying method" plus the "steel pouring method" plus hydraulic forging, these several splitting techniques may have been linked together, making the steel produced here in Feiqian better in quality and in greater quantity.

Perhaps, if the expansion here continues, the first large-scale ironworks in Dahan will appear in front of you...

A real factory, not an enlarged workshop.

"call……"

Fei Qian exhaled, and then smelled something that seemed to be similar to the atmosphere of the later emperors. Well, it seems that after adding new fire oil, the smell is even more similar.

"My lord, what's wrong? 』Tai Shiming didn't find anything wrong, but he still asked cautiously.

"Safety must be paid attention to!Fire prevention, we must do our best! Fei Qian pointed to the area of ​​raw materials and said, "There is a large amount of media, charcoal, and oil hoarded here. If you are not careful, it will become a catastrophe!"Zijian must pay attention to this matter! 』The inexplicable big explosion in the Ming Dynasty, Fei Qian didn't want to stage it in advance in Chang'an in the Han Dynasty.

Tai Shiming quickly responded, muttering in his heart, it really is still this problem...

"After the busy spring, I will send some more people..." Fei Qian continued, "There is only a wall to separate the sparks. I am afraid it is still a bit risky. It is better to draw the Wei River into it and dig some ditches to surround the space. Come to isolate the dust, and secondly, if you accidentally lose your place, you can also get water nearby... Well, fire oil can't be extinguished with water, and you need to reserve some sand and soil...』

Tai Shiming wrote down one by one.

Then, Fei Qian turned his attention to today's highlight...

The latest steel produced.

Talking about the things he was interested in, Tai Shiming's whole person was obviously brighter, his voice was loud, and his eyebrows and eyes were opened a lot, "This steel can be called jade steel. Compared with the black steel before, the color is lighter, the quality is firm and Tough, but also light... This is a jade steel knife, six feet five inches long, with a straight back and a blade, and it is extremely sharp... This is an armor forged from jade steel. Compared with the previous black steel, it is completely Five catties lighter, but the defense effect is even better...』

Fei Qian looked at the sample, but didn't say anything like attacking the shield with the spear of the spear. After all, there is no comparison between the new materials for weapons, and only after comparing with the original materials can they be compared. Determine whether there is value in continuing to dig deeper and mass-produce.

"Six feet and five inches, it has grown a lot... This weight seems to be only a little heavier than the original one..." Fei Qian picked up the ring head knife made of new materials, and pulled out Huang Xu's saber, weighing it from side to side Then, he turned his wrist and looked at the back and edge of the blade, "It looks like Bailian? 』

Tai Shiming replied, "Exactly." 』

Most of the general ring-shoulders are tempered thirty times. Of course, it is not really folded thirty times, but the pattern on the surface of the knife body has thirty layers... The so-called hundred steel is also the same, because if it is really Fold it thirty times, let alone the question of whether it will exceed Mount Everest. If you are not careful, the stress structure inside the steel will be damaged, and then it will be more likely to be brittle in battle...

Under Fei Qian's command, most of the standard [-]-reinforced ring-shoulders are generally five feet one to five feet three in length, and the fifty-refined ones are up to five feet five-six, and the hundred-refined ones are up to five feet eight to five feet long. The ones below are unqualified. Of course, these are all Chinese rulers.As for such a large standard span, the industry of the Han Dynasty naturally couldn’t be as accurate as the hair of the later generations. Of course, like the ring-shoulders used by Cao Cao’s soldiers, they have not been updated, and some are even only four in length. Shabu...

On the battlefield, such a difference in weapon length can often determine the life and death of a soldier.Now that the new knife is six feet five inches long, it means that this kind of knife will be more difficult to use, but it will also be more powerful.

Fei Qian handed the knife to Huang Xu, and asked Huang Xu to go ahead to try the knife.

All in all, if this "Jade Steel" material can be mass-produced this time, it means that the equipment in Feiqian's territory will usher in the third upgrade of technical materials...

"what! 』

Fei Qian looked at Huang Xu in the audience, exhaled and cut the stake tied with hemp rope and hay into two pieces with one knife, then turned the blade over, and after carefully checking the cut of the stake and the edge of the blade, moved towards the other side. Some of them put on leather armor, and some put on armored targets and walked away.

"Is the ratio of materials determined? ’ Fei Qian asked Taishi Mingdao.

Temporary, or accidental appearance of some special steel is not uncommon, just like in the Shang Dynasty, someone would pick up a piece of meteorite, but the difficulty lies in stabilizing the output, so Tai Shiming and his subordinates The role of the gentry children is very important. They will record every success and failure, and then form a file, so that most illiterate craftsmen can avoid repeating mistakes and move towards success more effectively. close.

And this "Jade Steel" is a new product of the "Steel Filling Method".

Tai Shiming was obviously already very familiar with it, so he didn't even need to read any books and wooden tablets, so he explained the general sources of the materials. Of course, he didn't mention the specific ratios. Naturally, these specific data need to be kept secret.In fact, according to the characteristics of Huaxia iron ore, even if you know some of the current material ratios of Fei potential, if you change the raw material of an iron ore, what you may produce is a pile of slag, and good steel also needs to be matched with good forging. Hit, good quenching technique...

While speaking, Huang Xu in the audience chopped down the last wooden stake covered with Zhajia, but he couldn't cut it completely, but the huge gap that broke through had already demonstrated the sharpness and destructive power of the new ring's first knife. After touching the blade, he turned and gestured towards Fei Qian.

"good!Zijian, who is the name of the craftsman who developed this material? ’ Fei Qian nodded and said.

Tai Shiming cupped his hands and said: "The leader's surname is Pu, what's the first name? It's just a humble name..." Tai Shiming made a slight gesture, explaining that it was the word "Pu".

"Bad name? Fei Qian smiled slightly, "If that's the case, let's give this steel the name. In addition, for the rest of the craftsmen involved in the development, Zijian will make a list, and someone will also be rewarded!" 』

The sun just shone on Xinhuan's first knife, and the sparkling knife patterns shone with dazzling brilliance, and it seemed that there were some colors emanating from it...
