Daqin: I Wanted to Fish, but Was Caught by the First Emperor to Marry Him

Ying Zheng nodded and followed Li Xing before the iron-smelting soil.

And the Sangong Jiuqing behind him all followed.

"Your Majesty, please see, this is the magic weapon of this minister."

This is it?

Following the direction Li Xing pointed, Ying Zheng saw the bellows.

He asked very curiously, "Is this a wooden box? How does it help with iron making?"

Not only Ying Zheng, but everyone else is also full of curiosity.

How can a small wooden box help so much in ironmaking?

They wouldn't believe it if they hadn't seen it with their own eyes!

"His Majesty……"

Li Xing said with a smile, "Actually, this bellows has only one function."

"Which one?"

"Boom."

oh...the blower...

What do you use to say?

When everyone heard this, their faces turned black.

The bellows, as the name suggests, is used to blow air.

Anyone who hears this will know?

"How does this blasting and ironmaking help?"

"Don't your majesty hear the flames?"

Li Xing smiled, glanced at everyone, and then said to Ying Zheng.

what?

Fan the flames?

Who are you talking about, boy?

After hearing Li Xing's words, Feng Jie couldn't help but stare blankly, and then he couldn't help shrinking his neck.

Then he was stunned to find that there really seemed to be a few pairs of eyes looking towards him.

I?

What am I?

Feng Jie was about to vomit blood out of anger.

What do you mean?

"I'm not referring to anyone, and I'm not talking about anyone else..."

Li Xing said with a smile, "The minister's meaning is the original intention. If you fan the flames and ignite the fire, the fire will naturally be bigger. As long as the fire is big, then iron making will not be a problem."

"Oh?"

After hearing Li Xing's words, Ying Zheng's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Is that the reason?"

"Correct."

Li Xing explained, "This is how the minister explained it... For example, if a pot of water is heated, it will melt the ice. If you put some grass and insects in it with a little more heat, it will be scalded to death. If you heat it again, the green vegetables will melt. It can also be scalded. Then heat it up to a boil, and put the minced meat in and it can be cooked.”

After speaking, he changed his voice, "This is the same with fire, and fire can be divided into hot and hotter. As long as there is a fire, when it is lit, the dry wood will burn with it. If you put aluminum foil on it, it will be easily melted. After the fire is heated up, the copper block can also be turned into copper water. The higher the fire, the hotter it will be. When it is hot to a certain extent, something can be hot."

After all, there was no knowledge of physical chemistry in Daqin, so Li Xing could only tell Qin Shihuang what the so-called melting point was with simple and easy-to-understand knowledge.

"Oh……"

After hearing Li Xing's words, Ying Zheng's heart moved, "Meaning, the bellows you used made the fire hotter and more ruthless, so the iron could also be melted?"

"Report to Your Majesty, that's exactly the reason."

Li Xing said with a smile, "The reason why it was difficult for us to smelt iron and easy to smelt copper is the reason. Because the fire is not hot enough and not big enough, and the bellows can make the fire situation more busy by blowing wind, and the burning heat is warm. Bigger, therefore, iron and stone can be turned into molten iron!"

"It's so? Miao Ye, Miao Ye!"

Ying Zheng suddenly understood, "No wonder Aiqing asked people to make these wooden boxes first. It's really a good plan!"

"Hey, it's called sharpening a knife without accidentally chopping wood."

Li Xing said with a smile, "I learned this principle when I was a child."

"Oh?"

When Ying Zheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, turned to look at Li Si, and said with a smile, "Prime Minister Zuo is really good at teaching his son, and he has taught such principles since he was a child."

ah?I?
