The Three Kingdoms: Steamed Buns and Pickled Cabbage, I Became the Emperor

Chapter 31: The third-level reputation system is opened

With the development of history.

Even in the Song Dynasty, iron smelting technology had made great progress.

The armor rate of the army is just over 50%, reaching about 70%.

The whole army wearing armor is still an unattainable dream.

"Please hurry up Mi Fang!"

"We'll get as much pig iron as we can!"

"Now we can only take one step at a time!"

Ye Chen rubbed his swollen temples and said to Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu, who was standing by, was actually grateful to Mi Fang for being able to prepare the pig iron in a short time.

In fact, I don't have much hope.

after all.

Iron tools are different from food.

Things like iron tools are in the hands of various princes.

If we run out of food, we can still rob the wealthy families.

If you want ironware, you can't just rob the princes.

The Han court had a lot of armor when it arrived here before.

But we can't attack the imperial arsenal.

"Pig iron!"

"Where can I get it??"

"Without weapons and equipment, the Yellow Turban Army's combat effectiveness cannot be improved."

"Even if the food is good, what's the use if you can't fight?"

After Cheng Yu left, Ye Chen looked worried.

His trump card is the Yellow Turban Army.

Want to survive in troubled times.

We must try every possible means to improve the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Turban Army.

But where does pig iron come from?

Even he couldn't think of any solution now.

after all.

Without pig iron, it would be impossible to cast weapons.

Without weapons, the Yellow Turban Army was like a toothless tiger.

It seems that I must go when the eighteen princes fight against Dong Zhuo.

When the time comes, let’s see if we can use the grain to exchange for some pig iron.

"Oh, it would be great if Jiangdu County had an iron mine!"

Ye Chen couldn't help but fantasize.

Then think about it carefully.

I feel that even if iron ore is discovered in Jiangdu County, it will not solve the urgent problem.

First, if iron ore is discovered in Jiangdu County.

He will inevitably become a target of various princes.

They don't care that your Yellow Turban Army occupies Jiangdu County.

If iron ore is discovered in Jiangdu County, can you still stay in Jiangdu peacefully?
Do you really think we are here to eat for nothing?
Furthermore.

Even if there is iron ore, he doesn't have the mining and smelting technology!

"Pity!"

"It would be nice to have a double door at this time."

"Forget pig iron. I can even get special steel."

For a while.

Ye Chen was annoyed by the pig iron.

He was not strong enough, so if he wanted pig iron, he had to compete with the various princes.

I can’t even grab the key!
and many more.

A sudden idea came to Ye Chen's mind.

He really can't go back to the present.

But he has a system.

There is a reputable mall.

If you upgrade the reputation mall, new products will appear.

If there is pig iron among them, wouldn’t all the problems be solved?
Corn porridge,臊子面, etc. are considered supplies.

Pig iron should also be a kind of material.

Ye Chen took a look at the system reputation value.

1500000.

Think about it, one million reputation points can upgrade the system reputation mall to level three.

A gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Today's system mall.

But it is the last hope of the whole village.

then.

In his mind, Ye Chen couldn't wait to give orders to the system mall.

"System, upgrade the reputation mall."

soon.

The cold mechanical sound of the system rang in Ye Chen's mind.

【Ding! 】

[The reputation mall has been successfully upgraded, and the third-level reputation mall has been opened. 】

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the special product purchase column! ]

In my mind, a series of prompts sounded.

The next moment, a light blue virtual interface appeared in Ye Chen's mind.

"hiss!"

"So scary!"

See the upgraded Prestige Mall.

Even Ye Chen, who was usually calm, couldn't help but take a breath.

Too much.

It's too much.

This time the system gave too much.

Sure enough, the approach of madly gaining reputation in Jiangdu County was the right one.

Ye Chen didn't dare to think about it at this moment.

The reputation mall has been upgraded to level 4, and the merchandise will be abundant.

“It must develop faster.”

"Only by occupying more territory can we gain enough reputation."

"Only in this way can the reputation mall be upgraded to level 4 as soon as possible."

Previously.

The pig iron that gave Ye Chen a huge headache.

This time it’s also available in the reputation mall.

This made Ye Chen excited instantly.

My system is really powerful.

The system directly gives refined iron, not pig iron.

To know.

The longest process in making armor is to beat the raw iron into fine iron.

otherwise.

Why is refined steel so sought-after and rare in history?

The labor and material costs are just too high.

With fine iron.

Ye Chen can easily produce strong and durable armor.

You can even skip the step of hammering the pig iron.

"100 reputation points can be exchanged for one pound of refined iron."

"I dare not think about it, I really dare not think about it!"

“It’s so profitable this time!”

Ye Chen silently looked at his remaining reputation points.

There are more than 500,000 left.

If all of them are exchanged for refined iron.

That can be exchanged for a total of five thousand kilograms of fine iron.

Although Ye Chen didn't know much about the history of the Han Dynasty.

But he still remembered it vaguely.

The iron production during the Han Dynasty was less than 10,000 tons!

Ten thousand tons is only about 20 million kilograms.

This number looks scary though.

In fact, the actual output is extremely low.

after all.

The steel production in later generations was calculated in billions of tons.

The comparison between the two shows how huge the gap is.

Ye Chen, on his side, was thinking about his own things.

While slowly calming down his emotions, he regained his composure.

Don’t say anything else.

With these fine irons, the iron armor he wanted was no longer a problem.

"That's right, system!"

"Will these special products be refreshed every day?"

Ye Chen asked the system.

He also remembered that the products in the reputation mall would automatically refresh every morning.

For example, for products like corn porridge and sauerkraut noodles, because there is a violent return of shares, refreshing means refreshing the shares.

As for refined iron, he didn't see any purchase share.

【Ding! 】

[Host, special items in the third-level reputation mall are refreshed once a week. ]

[After each refresh, the system will randomly provide new special products. ]

Hear this.

Ye Chen couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

According to the system.

In other words, he only had one week to buy the refined iron.

It is not certain whether there will be refined iron after the next refresh!
