Qin Feng had to admit that he had a specialization in the art industry.

Sitting in the room, listening to the masters respectfully report their achievements to him one after another, Qin Feng listened to it as if he was falling into a fog. I don't understand it at all!

But he still had to pretend to know it well, and from time to time he said that he knew very well in his heart, so that he would not be discounted in front of these masters who admired him to the extreme.

This kind of ignorance and pretending to understand, for Qin Feng, whose skin has not yet reached that level, is an out-and-out torture.

Eventually, though, he understood one thing.

All the research of these masters is finally implemented, and it requires a large amount of money to complete. For example, the two masters who cooperated to complete the research on refractory bricks and converter seals, according to their meaning, all the blast furnaces in the Daye Iron Works now have great problems, and the quality of the steel smelted by these blast furnaces has great defects, and they all need to be torn down and rebuilt.

Are you kidding? How much does it cost to build a blast furnace, dare to ask this master craftsman do you know? Do you know how long it will take to tear down and rebuild? If this is really done, during this period of time, there is no steel output, the market will be greatly impacted, and steel prices will inevitably rise sharply, which will affect the national economy and people's livelihood.

Now the quality of steel in the Ming Dynasty is far ahead of the Qi and Chu countries, and as for the poor man in the Qin State, it goes without saying. As for the various products derived from this, the quality has thrown them out of the street, in this case, Daming does not have to compete for the upgrading of his products, even if he has money, he does not have to be so anxious, not to mention that he is still poor now?

Taiping County or the government treasury has a surplus, but once it is decided to build the rail car connecting Taiping County to the Shafeng Line, given the terrain conditions here, Qin Feng feels that they will immediately be in arrears.

Therefore, these things that require a lot of investment should be slowed down first. However, it is indispensable to build a few small ones, and a small number of these higher quality products are available for special use. However, this is an internal matter of Taiping County, and Qin Feng does not feel that he has the need to meddle.

What made Qin Feng quite interested was that another guy had come up with a brand new metal product. According to him, it was a new product that he tried to arrange different ores in different combinations and then refine them. While Qin Feng was playing with a white rectangular square presented by the master, he watched the master waving a small hammer, and after a while, a white square that was the same as Qin Feng's hand was hammered by him to be as thin as paper, he picked it up and folded it into various shapes at will.

"Your Majesty, it's useless!" He said with a bitter face.

All these people were thinking about was how to refine the purity of steel to a higher level, harder, sharper, and he was ashamed that this master crafted such a thing.

"Master, although I can't see the value of this new thing for the time being, I think that existence is valuable, and maybe when we need him, so you still have to record the refining process of this thing in detail." Qin Feng soothed with gentle words.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The master finally showed a hint of joy on his face, "Your Majesty, in fact, I have always wanted to make something more powerful than steel, in the past two years, we have found that when smelting steel, adding some other ores to it will greatly improve the quality of steel, and the minister has been wondering, will several different ores be refined together, will a more powerful product be obtained?" They all laughed at me for being a madman, but the minister firmly believed that the minister would succeed. Actually, the minister even had a name in mind. ”

"Oh, the master craftsman even has the name of this object that has not yet been refined?" Qin Feng's eyes widened, and he said in surprise: "I don't know what it's called?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thought that this new thing was made from several different metals, so he named him Alloy." Seeing that the emperor was very interested, the master craftsman also became excited: "You see, the minister has already refined this thing, although I don't know what role he can play now, but this shows that this path will definitely work, but now the minister has not found the right way." As long as the experiment, the experiment does not stop, a thousand times does not work, then ten thousand times, or more, in this life, the minister will run to this road with all his strength, maybe he will always be able to run a result. Even if the minister fails, but the records of the minister's failure can make the latecomers take fewer detours, and it can't be said that it is worthless, Your Majesty, right? ”

Hearing this master's words, Qin Feng couldn't help but be moved. In the extremely simple words, what is revealed is the unparalleled determination of this master, and the progress of the Ming Dynasty is not based on this spirit of hitting the south wall and not looking back?

He stood up and solemnly saluted the master: "With all the masters here, the Ming Dynasty can be expected." ”

Seeing that the emperor suddenly saluted him, the master craftsman panicked suddenly, jumped up suddenly, hurriedly waved his hands, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am still a loser, and I haven't done anything." ”

"No, it's already fruitful." Qin Feng raised the white metal in his hand and said, "I firmly believe that the master craftsman will definitely succeed." Countless failures will eventually lead to a path to victory, like our current iron smelting and steelmaking, isn't it like this step by step? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, minister, you can only do your best and die." A room full of great craftsmen bowed to the ground.

"Everyone, please get up, don't you dare to say anything bowing, after death has been such an inauspicious word, I still expect everyone to live a long life one by one, make persistent efforts for my Ming Dynasty, and make new contributions, please get up, please get up." Qin Feng smiled and said continuously.

"Your Majesty, the sun has been out for a while outside, why don't you go and take a look at the previous object?" Jin Jingnan on the side suggested, and he could also see that His Majesty didn't seem to understand much about what these masters said, and of course he didn't understand either, and he couldn't intervene at all.

Qin Feng turned his head to look out the window, and sure enough, the climate in the mountains was completely the face of a child, and it changed when he said it. When I came, it was pouring rain and the sky was dark, but now it was sunny and cloudless.

"Let's go, we'll see." He walked out the door in high spirits.

The mud that had been laid on the ground by the previous masters had changed color at this moment, Qin Feng squatted down, stretched out his finger and poked it, and the outside had actually hardened. stood up, walked to the top, stepped on it, and with his weight of more than 100 catties, he didn't leave a mark on it.

Qin Feng was surprised and delighted, suddenly clenched his fist, hit hard, and with a bang, the ground was cracked, Qin Feng picked up a piece and observed it carefully, the outer layer had dried up, but the middle one was still the same paste as before, but it was obvious that there was very little water.

"Here comes the knife." Qin Feng stretched out his hand. The guard on the side immediately pulled out his waist knife and handed it over.

A knife was inserted, with a bang, the blade entered the ground, and with a twist of the wrist, the blade slashed across the ground, cutting the original gray ground into the next piece, the tip of the knife jumped, this piece jumped up, and fell into Qin Feng's hand.

Carefully comparing the two things, Qin Feng found that their composition was indeed exactly the same, the difference was that one was completely dry, and its hardness was a few points stronger than that of stone, while the other was still wet.

"It's excellent building material!" Qin Feng shouted in his heart. "Using it to pave roads, build houses, and build city walls is much stronger than the current rammed earth and red bricks."

Thinking of this, he walked to the other side, where there was a pier wrapped in four iron plates. Pulling apart the iron plates, the pastes that used to look soft and unsagmilled were now standing proudly in the shape of the four iron plates wrapped in the previous ones.

Qin Feng looked back at Jin Jingnan, and at this moment, Jin Jingnan was also full of surprise.

Qin Feng swung his knife again, cutting this pier into two from the middle, from the outside to the inside, to varying degrees, the most central was still the muddy state at the earliest. But obviously, if you give him time, he will surely become like the hard ground in your yard.

"Good stuff!" Qin Feng shouted.

"Good stuff indeed." Kim Kyung-nam also blurted out. "Your Majesty, if he were to pave the road, the road would be incomparably hard and not easily damaged, and even better, the loads of carriages and the like would not cause any damage to the road. If it were used to build the city walls, it would be our thunderbolts, and it would not be easy to destroy them, let alone other types of catapults. ”

Qin Feng stared at the pier in front of him, and suddenly said, "Go find a few iron rods." ”

There were so many iron bars in this courtyard that in the blink of an eye, the guards found a few finger-thick iron rods, exactly the same as they had seen in the workshop earlier.

Picking up these iron rods, Qin Feng inserted them one by one into the pier that he had confirmed half of them at a certain interval, and turned his head to look at Jin Jingnan: "Jin Jingnan, you said, if you insert iron rods here again, will his strength be stronger?" ”

"Your Majesty, it is true."

Kicking this pier down with one kick, Qin Feng looked at the thing lying on the ground and said with a smile: "Thin him, cast it into a piece of board, and use an iron rod to support it inside, can it be used to build a bridge deck?" With thick piers as bridge pillars and this kind of board as the bridge deck, do you say that the bridge built is stronger and more durable than the ordinary wooden bridge and stone bridge? ”

Jin Jingnan stayed for a moment, and suddenly jumped up: "Your Majesty is talented." With this thing, it will be much easier to build bridges in the future. ”
