Tang Taizong is my elder brother

Chapter 53 New Base
In the second year of Emperor Sui Yang's ascension to the throne, under the advocacy of Changsheng, the entire camp finally moved collectively to the Hetao Plain near Dunhuang, more than 1000 miles to the west.

Some people left one after another along the way, but more than [-]% of them still chose to go on an expedition with Changsheng.

After all, this six-year-old child is not only his savior, but also has shown outstanding talent.

When the epidemic was raging, she made everyone full of food, not only that, but also made everyone have work and money.

When the new address came, a new camp was quickly established.

A month later, everything was fully back to normal, and the fourth battalion of green, yellow, blue and white started their old business again. This time they were familiar with the road.

So Changsheng let them act on their own, and she put her main energy on developing the secondary industry.

This has to mention our Master Lu.

With the strong support of Changsheng, the craftsman, who claims to be the descendant of Luban, showed his superb skills.

Not only did he quickly create a new set of farming tools that met the requirements, but he also contributed key glass technology to the production of perfume.

Now he has set his sights on steelmaking again.

The first difficulty encountered is coke.

Higher quality coke can provide higher temperature and thus achieve higher melting point.

After switching to a blast furnace made of new refractory materials, as long as high-quality desulfurized coke can be guaranteed, and the blower improvement drawings given to them by Changsheng, they can start smelting molten iron with stable performance.

Master Lu specifically asked Zhang Long of the green team for this question. He needed the kind of coal mine he discovered in the Longshan Mountains.

At his request, Zhang Hu agreed to help him search as much as possible.

Changsheng began to improve the vertical furnace to a certain extent, so that it met stricter density and temperature standards, and also laid the foundation for large-scale steelmaking in the future.

Steelmaking is not an ordinary thing. In this era, steelmaking is definitely a cutting-edge technology. Steelmaking, a real magic weapon, requires repeated forging, tempering, and multiple processing techniques that require a lot of manpower and material resources, and the final product The quality of will be affected by any one of them.

However, the cost-effective method of Baisteelmaking was immediately ruled out by Changsheng.

She wants a standardized and modeled production method, and minimizes the proportion of craftsman experience in the production of finished products.

So she decided to use the more advanced methods of later generations to make steel.

Soda ash and calcium oxide are used to remove impurities in molten iron, and then the content of carbon is controlled by lowering the temperature in the furnace, so as to obtain wrought iron and finally qualified steel.

Again, we used fried steel and poured steel for transition, both of which are already very advanced for the current technology.

Under Master Lu's constant praise, the first wave of new products was released three months later.

There are ten long knives in total, they are long knives, rather they are more like iron bars, rectangular rulers, gray and inconspicuous.

In the newly built steel factory by the water, Master Lu excitedly showed his works to Chang Sheng, the fire reflected on his face, and he seemed to be fanatical.

He took a saber used by the Sui army, put it on an iron ingot, then pulled out a newly smelted iron bar, and slashed heavily at the saber.

With a bang, the iron bar cut into two-thirds of the saber.

Changsheng tried, but she couldn't pull it out with her little hands.

Seeing this, Master Lu went to battle himself, and it took a long time to pull out the iron bar from the gap, and then put it in front of Changsheng like a treasure.

Chang Sheng looked carefully, and there was only a white mark on the iron bar where the two knives collided.

He nodded and said in admiration: "What a masterpiece! Master, you have worked hard!"

Master Lu beamed with joy, and waved his hands again and again, "Where is it? Forging such a magical weapon is the lifelong pursuit of every craftsman. It's too late for the master to help me realize my dream. I can't be praised by the master."

Changshengxin said that this is really an honest person, and then asked: "How about the yield rate?"

"Reporting to the master, none of the ten knives produced in a batch was scrapped, and it took only two days. If various preparation procedures are added, a batch can be mass-produced in five days. Its sharpness is far beyond what officers and soldiers can expect. The standard knife used.

If the raw materials are sufficient, it will only take a few months to arm a team of [-] people by this method. "

Changsheng took a military stab from the wooden tray, which she borrowed from the rifle bayonet of later generations.There is a deep blood groove on the body of the long knife, looking carefully at the firelight, there is a kind of cold beauty.

Changsheng is going to press these military thorns on white wax rods to make spears, and then each soldier will be equipped with one to form a long spear team.
In the face of medieval cavalry, the infantry phalanx is the most restrained means, not one of them.

Even in the descendants of the Mongols, the Ming Dynasty army used spears to fight those members of the Golden Family who couldn't find the north, and finally ran into the depths of the desert.Until modern Europe, spear infantry was the absolute main force to restrain heavy cavalry.

The reason why cavalry should be considered is because her north and west faces are powerful Turks.

Although the migration here temporarily escaped Yang Guang's attention, it entered the range of Turkic invasion.

Especially Dunhuang in the northwest is the focus of the opponent's attack.This means that there will be many opportunities to deal with these enemies on horseback in the future.

Changsheng's military level is limited to basic military history books, so who to ask to help lead troops to fight is a problem.

But the most urgent thing is to get the soldiers and equipment ready.

Master Lu certainly didn't know what Chang Sheng was thinking at the moment, and he was still immersed in the appreciation of his own works.

"The temperature of frying steel is not low. I see that you don't have any safety measures here. If the tank is poured with water, it is lucky to get blisters. I am afraid that people will be burned directly. Production is temporarily suspended, let's draw up a regulation first." .” Changsheng said.

Master Lu was stunned for a moment, and his expression turned bright. He originally thought that Changsheng was going to come up with some better suggestions, but he didn't expect to say safety.

He is a workaholic, and he has long put life and death aside for research. What is the name of a person in this era? If you research something, it is enough for you to live forever, and death is not enough!
But this little master values ​​life more than anything else. If she disagrees with her, I'm afraid it will make people stop working, and it will be even worse.

At the moment, I can only agree to issue detailed safety regulations as soon as possible.

"By the way, let's hang this banner here, and write: Irregular operation, let your loved ones cry!" Chang Sheng said.
