Chapter 1021 A Different Dream

Before, whether it was a blower or a steam engine, the test and operation were all discussed in the Imperial Study Room.

This time, the Ministry of Industry was able to play these things in the early court, and it was also inspired by the emperor.

The emperor looked down solemnly, Dong Bolin, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, came out and described in detail the operation status of the iron smelting furnace with the blower link in the past few days after the year.

After that, it will be extended to how much iron will be added to the Great Xia Dynasty if blowers are widely used in smelting.The abundant production of iron can expand the scope of use in various industries in the Great Xia Dynasty, which will greatly increase the productivity of various private industries.

Especially for the defense system of the frontier of the Great Xia Dynasty, the effect is even more powerful.

As soon as Dong Bolin finished speaking, Cheng Dahui came out and said, "Your Majesty, I still have something to say."

Cheng Dahui was one of the main players in the development of steam engines and blowers in the later stage. Speaking at this time must be beneficial to the application of the machine.

The emperor nodded: "Cheng Aiqing, but it's okay to say."

"Yes." Cheng Dahui bowed, "In the past, the main reason for restricting smelting technology was the smelting temperature. Because the smelting temperature of the iron smelting furnace cannot be raised, many materials cannot be better melted into iron, resulting in extremely poor performance of iron. single.

Now with the powerful blast performance, the iron smelting furnace can add many materials that are difficult to smelt. These materials are smelted together with iron ore, which can greatly enhance the strength of the iron produced. "

For Cheng Dahui's remarks, civil servants don't feel much yet, but for generals, the strength of iron is an absolutely sensitive topic.

The Minister of the Ministry of War is a Confucian general, very interested in Cheng Dahui's words, and immediately asked: "Master Cheng means that in the future, the blades and spear points of the swords made for our soldiers will be sharper, and they will not be easy to roll. The penetrating power of the arrow will also be stronger. Is that so?"

Not only the Minister of the Ministry of War was excited, but all the generals in the court looked at Cheng Dahui with burning eyes after hearing what the Minister of the Ministry of War said.

There are not so many reasons and explanations on the battlefield. Holding a big knife and fighting fiercely for several hours without a break is a common occurrence.

In order to prevent the edge of the weapon from curling, the blade of the sword does not dare to make it very sharp. The fear is that the blade is often cut on armor and stick weapons, and the blade will curl quickly.

Such a weapon requires great strength between swings and cuts, which consumes a lot of soldiers' combat power.

Conversely, if the material used to make the weapon is hard enough, the blade can be made thin and sharp.Under the same strength, such a weapon can cause double damage to the enemy.

This kind of battlefield advantage is synonymous with winning battles and reducing casualties for generals who hold their heads on the battlefield.

Although Cheng Dahui thought he was inferior to Wang Qiao and Shi Yin in many aspects, he had been in prison for so many years, so he still had some insight into the way of smelting.

The reason why the famous ancient sword is said to be sharp is because of its superb smelting technology, but more because it has mastered the furnace temperature, raised the furnace temperature in a certain way, and can incorporate more other weapons during the smelting process. Material, let the material of the sword undergo a qualitative change, making the material tougher.

Cheng Dahui couldn't hide his excitement every time he thought that after this, the Celestial Dynasty would create many weapons comparable to famous swords.

He was so excited in his heart, but he still had some leeway to speak: "My lord, in my opinion, it is indeed possible. But whether it is successful or not, we need to gradually test it with the blower smelting furnace, and we can only draw a conclusion after the smelting effect. But The lower officials think that strengthening the strength of the iron material is very likely to be successful."

The ancient famous sword is about to come out of his hands, his life is not in vain!
What Cheng Dahui thought about was smelting technology, and what he thought about was the famous ancient sword.As for the other generals in the court, they were thinking about the battle damage on the battlefield, and the increase in combat power formed by the superiority of weapons on the battlefield.

But the emperor thought about it comprehensively. In addition to the battlefield, in addition to defending the country, there is also people's livelihood, and a large amount of iron is used by the people, which can increase the labor force of the people.

After the people are rich, how strong will the national power be!
Shengshi Mingjun!
The emperor at this time has almost fallen to the same level as Cheng Dahui, all for a certain dream in his heart.

Fortunately, the dreams of these two people are both beneficial to the country and the people. What is that sentence called...Fortunately, the world is very lucky, and the people are very lucky.

The emperor was extremely proud.The smelting technology passed down from ancient times has lasted for many years, and in his generation, it finally made a breakthrough.

In the past few years, the track technology, agricultural tools, construction equipment, etc., plus the smelting technology that can almost change the pattern of various industries, and the application of the steam engine mentioned by Jin Rong in other industries.

In the future, when history books record these things, they will always mention the dynasties, years, and year names, and will solemnly write: These were all developed by the Qianqing Dynasty.

The military generals and nobles in the court hall were whispering, their expectations and desires palpable in their words.Needless to say, after today, these people will be the biggest help for the development of industry and the improvement of the status of craftsmen.

This unexpected help really made the emperor very happy for a while.With the support of these upright generals who have fought on the battlefield, the implementation of the New Deal went much smoother than expected.

When the mood of the generals was almost fermented, the emperor said: "Improving the smelting technology is good for all industries in the world. It is even more valuable for the soldiers to defeat the enemy and save their lives. It is so beneficial to the country and the people." matter, the imperial court must have an attitude.”

The emperor glanced at the important ministers below with a solemn expression, and continued: "Order the Ministry of Rites to arrange a date. I will take relevant officials of the court to Huaiyuan County to see how the iron smelted by blowers is different from traditional smelting."

This is what the emperor said before. At that time, because the blower had just started to be used, the effect of use could not be guaranteed.That's why Jin Rong procrastinated the matter until now.

Now, officials from the Ministry of Industry and the general supervisor have personally confirmed that the smelting technology has indeed improved.The emperor brought up the old matter again, and the ministers really had no reason to stop it again.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites and the four ministers from the Ministry of Cabinet agreed without any interest.

Although I agreed, due to the lack of enthusiasm, I waited for everything to be properly arranged, and even February [-] passed.

It is said that the ninth day of February is a good day. At the end of the day, the emperor left the palace.

In order not to show off, the emperor did not sit in the eye-catching bright yellow chariot, but wrapped in a black cloak, rode a horse, surrounded by many guards, and headed for Huaiyuan County.

Those who walked with the emperor were all strong and skilled officials who were able to ride horses, and they were lucky enough to chase the emperor's vigorous figure on horseback and gallop on the official road.

Several ministers and some old ministers took a carriage out of the city one step earlier before dawn, hoping to reach Huaiyuan County one step earlier than the emperor.
