Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 35 Silver Filament Charcoal

"Bring out the charcoal!" Several corvees from Guazhou shouted, and extinguished the fire of the charcoal kiln.

Craftsman Zhang Tiezheng opened the mud seal of the charcoal kiln, and a wave of heat hit, and white and silvery white charcoal lumps rolled out of the charcoal kiln.

Zhang Tiezheng exclaimed, this is the best silver silk charcoal!

This kind of charcoal is layer by layer, and the surface of the charcoal is like entangled silver threads. A small piece of charcoal can burn overnight.

During the Kaiyuan period, every winter the imperial court would reward Dongtan to the governor's mansion, and it was at that time that Zhang Tiezheng saw Yinsi charcoal.

This kind of silver silk charcoal is quite precious, and it burns without smoke, and Zhang Tiezheng has only seen it in the Governor's Mansion.

It is said that this kind of silver charcoal is worth thousands of gold, and only the royal family can make it. During the most prosperous Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, ministers and rich people in Xijing all competed to be proud of burning silver charcoal.

Zhang Tiezheng looked at the silver charcoal that was gradually cooling down, and once again sighed how powerful this master Jian Xia is!

Jian Xia produced a drawing of the charcoal kiln, and then came to inspect it twice during the construction of the charcoal kiln, pointing out several construction errors.

From opening the kiln to burning charcoal, Jian Xia has never been here once, but according to her method, the first-class charcoal is really burnt!
Now Zhang Tiezheng was even more sure that this Master Jian was definitely a master who had served the royal family for generations, she was the God of Wealth who turned a stone into a master!
If this truckload of silver silk charcoal is transported to Beiting, Shazhou, it will definitely fetch a good price!
And this stove probably burned more than a dozen cars of silver charcoal!There are so many high-quality silver charcoal, it is a mountain of money!
But when Zhang Tiezheng brought the silver charcoal to Jian Xia's camp, Jian Xia pointed to a new miniature blast furnace and said:
"Put the charcoal in."

Looking at the blast furnace, Zhang Tiezheng asked doubtfully, "Master Jian, this is silver silk charcoal, is this the best charcoal?"

But Jian Xia said: "This kind of charcoal is what I want, put them into the furnace quickly, I will continue to smelt iron."

Zhang Tiezheng and his son looked at each other with a look of shock on their faces.

It turns out that Master Jian also fired silver charcoal for the purpose of smelting iron?Use such good charcoal to smelt iron?
Zhang Tiezheng and his son couldn't understand, but they still stuffed the silver charcoal into the blast furnace according to Jian Xia's instructions.

Jian Xia took out a pen and paper to record the process of this experiment.

"Experiment No. [-], the structure of the blast furnace was improved, charcoal with higher quality and less impurities was used, and the experiment of blast furnace ironmaking began."

The silver charcoal was burned in the blast furnace for a day, and when the furnace was turned on, players from the entire construction site gathered in front of Jian Xia's tent.

Lei Meng and Qin Chuan didn't know how to make iron, but these days Jian Xia was tossing the blast furnace every day, and the whole construction site stopped working, and everyone was free, so every time Jian Xia did experiments, it became a recreational activity on the construction site. Attract the onlookers of the players.

Lei Meng looked at the black smoke from the chimney of the blast furnace and said, "Isn't the iron ingot smelted last time pretty good? Why do you want to smelt it again?"

Qin Chuan shook his head and said, "I don't understand either. I heard that the quality of iron ingots is not high enough to make barrels."

Lei Meng stared wide-eyed and said, "Isn't this an ancient war game? Why do we still have cannons?"

Qin Chuan said: "I don't understand either, but I heard that some players have already made gunpowder, so the cannon should not be difficult, right?"

"Nice! These players don't know how their brains grow, but if they can fight with cannons, it must be fun. I've never fired a cannon before!"

This time, Jian Xia personally opened the door of the blast furnace, and saw red molten iron flowing out of the furnace. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Tiezheng and other craftsmen rushed up and led the molten iron to the edge of the cold palace.

When the crimson molten iron turned dark red, Zhang Tiezheng and his son went up to forge it with a hammer.

The hammer collided with the uncooled iron ingot, and brilliant sparks burst out.

Qin Chuan stood aside and muttered: "One hundred hammers, fifty small hammers, one hundred big hammers, fifty small hammers."

A furnace of molten iron had already been poured out. Zhang Tiezheng and his son were sweating profusely from the heat, and finally forged the iron ingot before it cooled down.

Jian Xia came over, looked at the cooled iron ingot on the ground, and ordered Zhang Tiezhu to carry the iron ingot into her laboratory.

After testing the quality of the iron ingots the next day, Jian Xia finally sent an envoy to Li Yan to report that the experiment at Dashuixia Iron Mine was a success!
She has passed the miniature blast furnace to produce qualified steel!Next, the Dashuixia Iron Works can be built!
At this time, Guazhou City was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere.

The martial arts tournament had just ended, and Yu Chixin won the No.1 in the close combat competition of the martial arts competition without any surprise.

The few remaining winners are basically old players who entered the game in the first test.

No way, the first test player has too much advantage over other players. The best ranking among the second test players is No.10. This player is a Sanda fan in reality, and won the No. 10 by virtue of his superb fighting skills. .[-].

However, the champion of the archery group was won by a second-test player named Wang Shixiong.

This also surprised many players. This Wang Shixiong defeated Yu Chixin, and he shot all five arrows within 8 steps, and all the arrows were above the [-]th ring!
It was only later that the players learned that this Wang Shixiong was actually a retired archery athlete.

Although he is a second-test player, he has disadvantages in attributes. In order to participate in the competition, Wang Shixiong added attributes to agility.

And in order to make up for the gap in strength attributes, Wang Shixiong participated in the competition with a homemade compound bow.

This uniquely shaped bow and arrow caused heated discussions among players as soon as it appeared on the stage. Through the pulley and special power storage device, the compound bow can be pulled with less effort, thereby reducing Wang Shixiong's strength attribute disadvantage.

And Wang Shixiong's agility attribute also reached 9 points, coupled with his experience as an athlete, he became a blockbuster in the archery competition, defeating many first-test players to win the championship.

Although Wang Shixiong won the championship, the referee in charge of the archery competition, Xue Cheng, the new lieutenant of Mo Lijun, still complained for his friend Yuchi.

He believed that Wang Shixiong's bow and arrow had gone on the wrong path. This kind of bow and arrow was worthless in actual combat and could only be used for ornamental archery competitions.

But Xue Cheng also said that Wang Shixiong's archery skills are excellent, which means that his body is a little weaker.If Wang Shixiong can draw a heavy bow, he can definitely be selected for the Sheliu Camp and become a fierce general who is good at archery!

The results of the business competition were also announced that day. Sun Jianguo's woolen shop has now become a huge industry, and all the women at home in Guazhou City have participated in Sun Jianguo's woolen business.

Nowadays, businessmen gather in Guazhou, and many of them come here for wool and sweaters.

Merchants are chasing profits, and the fake money case of Dashi merchants did not affect the trade in Guazhou. On the contrary, it made these Dashi merchants a lot more honest.

However, for Guazhou, the Martial Arts Conference is just entertainment during the slack season. What really attracts the attention of Guazhou is the upcoming Dasuo Maoyue!
