Chapter 2537

It has been several decades since the first emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and there has been no great progress.

So, when Mr. Qi heard Gu Xiaowan say that she could have a try, he was startled and surprised.

This princess Anping always has some strange things in her brain. Maybe she can have some ideas about smelting iron. If we can forge weapons better than Nanling, the emperor will not worry about the iron smelting technology of Nanling!

Thinking of this, Duke Qi was a little excited and asked Gu Xiaowan, "Princess Anping, do you really know how to smelt iron and forge? The emperor has been troubled by this weapon for so many years. All the better weapons we use are collected from Nanling in the battlefield. However, there is no reason to pick up things used by others. We don't know how Nanling smelt and forge it. The weapons we make are much better than ours! "

Although Gu Xiaowan did not practice iron, he also visited many iron and steel-making enterprises when he was studying, and he also learned from many masters.

The weapons made by ancient smelting are either too hard or too brittle. The reason is the problem of steel.

The higher the carbon content in a reasonable range, the harder the steel.

Gu Xiaowan said: "Duke Qi, don't worry. In which book have I ever read about iron smelting and forging knowledge, but I have never tried it myself. If we can make weapons more powerful than Nanling, we don't need to use Nanling's iron smelting technology!"

Qi Gonggong's excited legs were swinging: "if it's really like that, princess, you can be the number one meritorious official in Qing Dynasty!"

Without much nonsense, they soon entered the weapon Pavilion, which was said to be the weapon Pavilion. However, the only purpose here is to smelt and forge iron, because all weapons are made of iron. Without a good piece of iron, the weapons forged by a good forge will be vulnerable.

The amount of steel in the weapon determines the quality of the weapon. Therefore, there will be many scenes in which iron is cut like mud. It is just the amount of steel in the weapon.

The more brittle the weapon, the less steel content in it. As long as it is impacted by hard objects, it will be broken. But if the steel content in the weapon is too much, it will be easily broken.

Therefore, every one should pay attention to a certain degree. Gu Xiaowan guesses that these masters have no idea of the mystery of iron smelting and forging. Only in this way can one batch of unqualified weapons be forged!

After entering the weapon Pavilion, the forging masters saw that the Duke Qi was coming from the emperor's side. They all rushed around and said, "Duke Qi, is the emperor coming to check again? Ah, Duke Qi, it's not that we didn't pay attention to it. It's true that, you see, ah... "

A master pointed to the scrap iron all over the ground, either bent or broken, while a sword was lying there all the time. Gu Xiaowan's eyes fell on the sword. Duke Qi saw it and said, "that's the Nanling sword we picked up in the battlefield. You see, these abandoned weapons are made by it!"

Qi Gonggong sighed helplessly.

Gu Xiaowan picked up a piece of broken iron and asked, "master, what's your name? How long have you been here? "

The one who came first should be the one in charge here.

The master said, "the name of Cao min is wan. It's been more than a year since I came to the weapons Pavilion."

One side of the Duke Qi said: "master Wan, when he was building the weapon Pavilion, he was already here."

Gu Xiaowan nodded and asked, "master Wan, I don't ask how you smelt iron and how you forged it. Can you do me a favor? Do you still have" unmelted iron? "

She plans to start forging from smelting iron.

Seeing a little girl talking, master Wan didn't dare to despise it. After all, he brought it by Duke Qi himself and said, "yes, what's the use of this girl?"

Then Duke Qi said, "this is Princess Anping."

As soon as the masters saw that it was Princess Anping, they came to see her one after another. Gu Xiaowan shook her hand and said, "there are not so many empty rituals. Let's start smelting iron first."

The master quickly took the ore out and put it in the crucible. Gu Xiaowan told him not to worry. Then he said, "go and get charcoal, Douchi, and earth powder."

It was the first time that master Wan saw such a fire. He was a little surprised. However, he looked at the Duke Qi and nodded to instruct them to do it. No one dared to speak and went to find charcoal.

Gu Xiaowan once told the iron smelting master that "Tiangong Kaiwu" once wrote a chapter on smelting.

This technology is to shape the workpiece, put it into a crucible and other containers, and then cover it with charcoal, Douchi and earth powder, and heat it outside the container. Charcoal and Douchi are naturally used for carburizing, and the soil powder is still a dispersant. The advantage of this carburizing technology is that the carburizing of the workpiece is very uniform and stable, and the carbon potential is very high, and the efficiency and effect are quite good.

In fact, this technology is still used in modern times, which is the so-called "steel stewing method".

When Gu Xiaowan brought these things that Gu Xiaowan wanted to use, the masters began to cook them. It took a lot of time to cook them. Gu Xiaowan and Duke Qi agreed to come back tomorrow morning.The Duke of Qi went out of the weapons Pavilion. Seeing Gu Xiaowan, who was always worried, he felt a little uneasy: "Princess Anping, is your method really workable?"

Gu Xiaowan didn't know whether it could work or not. However, it was written in Tiangong Kaiwu that such a forging method should not be much different. He said, "don't worry about it. Go back to serve the emperor as soon as possible. I don't know whether it will work or not. Only after the weapons are forged in the Ming Dynasty and compared with Nanling, will we know it!"

Seeing that Princess Anping said so, Duke Qi nodded and said, "that slave will send the princess back!"

Gu Xiaowan waved his hand and said, "no, the Princess Palace and the imperial study are not in the same direction. The emperor should have woken up at the moment. You'd better go back as soon as possible. The emperor can't leave you by his side!"

Seeing that Princess Anping was so attentive to the emperor, Duke Qi was very happy. He said with a smile, "if the emperor knows that you are so attentive to him, the emperor will be happy in his heart."
