The Three Kingdoms: The strategist will stop, and Rome will be unified

Chapter 223 Hundred Steelmaking

During the war, blacksmiths were the most profitable, but there were not many people, so there was a lot of competition for apprentices.

Zhao Feng smiled and said: "Okay, what do you think of the big guy next to me? Let him learn from you here for a few days first."

The blacksmith looked towards Zhao Feng, showing great joy.

Xu Chu has a hulking back, obviously a person of great strength.

The blacksmith laughed and said, "Good!"

Xu Chu was stunned where he was, not understanding why he was sent here as an apprentice by the military adviser?

Zhao Feng patted Xu Chu's shoulder, and whispered in his ear: "Zhongkang studies hard, and Lao Baigan will not be able to do without you when the time comes."

Hearing this, Xu Chu revealed a tinge of joy and said, "Follow the order of the military division!"

After arranging these, Zhao Feng did not leave directly, but walked around the blacksmith's shop.

This time, what Zhao Feng wants to do is to improve the craftsmanship of metals. Now, except for the famous swords that have been handed down since ancient times, most of them are made of iron!
There are also a few famous craftsmen who can make steel swords, but it is impossible to mass-produce them.

Moreover, most of the methods used by these famous craftsmen are fried steel, which is complicated and extremely difficult to master.

And if a high-efficiency method for forging steel can be developed, wouldn't the soldiers in the hands of Cao Jun's generals all cut iron like mud, and there must be casualties wherever they go?
After Zhao Feng returned to the mansion, Xu Chu was asked to learn the forging method in the past two days, and the next thing was the most important.

The so-called "smelting into steel" means that countless steels can be forged in the process of forging.

Moreover, Zhao Feng watched for a while in the blacksmith shop, and he already saw that the current forging is backward, and there are indeed many disadvantages.

It only needs to be improved, Zhao Feng is confident that all the generals of Cao Jun will be equipped with a sword that cuts iron like mud!

In just three days, Zhao Feng called Xu Chu back.

In the depths of Zhao Feng's mansion, there is a place that has been transformed into an excellent casting table, which is far from the casting table in the blacksmith's shop. Not only has the furnace body become larger, but Zhao Feng has also improved the blowing equipment.

The fuel is made of coal, so that the temperature of the furnace can be raised to a terrifying level.

And the more this is the case, the more sophisticated weapons can be created.

"Zhongkang, try this casting table."

Xu Chu's eyes were eager to try, no matter how stupid he was, he could feel that the casting table here was much better than that of the blacksmith's shop.

First of all, Xu Chu took out a piece of pig iron and hammered it. As expected, it was much faster than when he was in the blacksmith shop. In just a moment, the pig iron became wrought iron.

Zhao Feng showed a hint of a smile, the next step is the most important thing, and now he is confident that he can make Bailian Steel!

A few days later, Cao Cao summoned everyone again for a routine discussion.

The content of this meeting is not much different from the previous ones.

Cao Cao looked at the people below, and everyone was reporting the situation of the states and counties.

"Several small tribes in Youzhou Xianbei have repeatedly come to disturb them, and they have been wiped out by Gongsun Zan. Besides, everything in Youzhou is normal!"

"No incidents occurred in Yanzhou, Yuzhou and other places."

"Soochow is also resting recently, and nothing unusual happened."

"Xiliang and the Qiang people have had some close contacts recently."

Then Zhuge Liang also stood up and reported the current production progress of Zhuge Liannu.

After listening to this, Cao Cao nodded slightly and said, "What suggestions do you guys have?"

Zhao Feng stood up and said: "I suggest strengthening the garrison of soldiers and horses in Sizhou. Now the world can only do it. Only Xiliang is the future trouble of our army, and it is also the most powerful force besides us!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone nodded in agreement.

Moreover, Zhao Feng knew that Ma Chao and Ma Mengqi, the sons of Ma Teng in Xiliang, were extremely ferocious. They once chased and killed Cao Cao for dozens of miles, so Xiliang had to guard against it!
Cao Cao nodded and said, "Let Guo Jia handle this matter."

But just when Cao Cao thought it was about to end, Zhao Feng said again: "I have one more thing."

Everyone looked over.

Only heard, Zhao Feng said lightly: "Zhongkang, take that sword."

At this time, everyone showed curiosity: "Sword?"

Xu Chu placed the sword on the long table, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, you know, he forged this sword!

Cao Cao had a collection of famous swords, and he saw the extraordinaryness of this sword at a glance.

"What a sharp sword, what is it called?"

He took the sword in his hand, and soon his expression changed.

Although the sword is extremely sharp, the details of the whole body are unbearably rough, and it looks like it has just been cast.

"Is this sword just cast?" Cao Cao blurted out and asked, "Could it be that I, Chen Liu, have a famous craftsman?"

Then he shook his head, the master craftsmen are extremely perfect in casting swords, it is impossible to forge only one blade.

Zhao Feng smiled lightly and said, "This sword was forged by Zhong Kang!"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was surprised and looked at Xu Chu who was on the side.

"This Zhongkang is that famous craftsman?"

Just when everyone was puzzled, Zhao Feng continued: "The material of this sword is hundred-refined steel!"

Hearing this, everyone showed a hint of horror. The swords cast by Baisteel are all famous swords. Even if it costs a lot of money to make famous swords, ten swords a year is already the limit.

But Xu Chu had forged such a sharp sword in less than half a month in just a few days.

The most important thing is not the sword, but the material of this sword, one hundred steel refining!
Zhao Feng took out the scroll he had prepared before and said, "This scroll contains my latest research, the forging process of hundred steel smelting!"

"As long as you let a literate blacksmith read it, you can also forge such a sharp sword in half a month!"

Everyone froze in place. According to the military adviser, they only need to hand over the scroll to the steel mill, and within half a year they can forge countless sharp swords, right?
Zhao Feng continued: "Although it is not as good as the Shangqing Sword, this sword can also cut iron like mud!"

Everyone's breathing became a little heavier.

"If another elite team is formed, all of them will wear this sword"

Most importantly, Hundred Steel Refining can not only forge swords, but also forge other weapons.

In this way, I can't imagine going on, and even Xu Chu can be made. Is Cao Cao still worried that the craftsmen in the steel factory can't make it?

Cao Cao laughed straight away; "Okay, okay!"

Two weeks later, since the end of the last meeting, Zhao Feng had a lot of leisure. He only needed to check the Tongque's information every day, and he didn't have anything else to do.

Because the main internal policy is proposed, as long as it is implemented seriously, three years of development is more than enough, so there is no need for frequent discussions.

And those cumbersome things were all handed over to Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia and others, Zhao Feng naturally felt a lot more comfortable.

There are still more than two months before the autumn harvest. For Zhao Feng, there are at least two more months of leisure time.
