Respectfully ask Your Majesty to kill the immortal

Chapter 101 Forging Skills

In Ningzhou, Xu Mochen made arrangements, and then took his people back to Beijing.

Since his identity has been exposed, he has not concealed it, and of course he will not make a big fuss.

Xie Jing decided to join Xu Mochen's National Medical Center, and followed him to the capital, so Shu Wuyin went with him.

But she didn't come to look for Xu Mochen, she was out of character and just stayed around Xie Jing.

In this era, travel mainly relies on horse-drawn carriages, coupled with the large number of people, the movement speed is not fast.

"Your Majesty," Tang Derun rode his horse to the carriage where Xu Mochen was, "in front is the Yuhua Terrace, and the craft of forging gold leaf that the Fang brothers and sisters mentioned is nearby."

Xu Mochen remembered that it was still difficult to conquer the manufacture of injection needles. During the discussion, Fang Minghang and Fang Mingying's brother and sister mentioned the gold leaf forging technique at Yuhuatai in Ningzhou.

It is said that gold can be beaten as thin as paper.

During the troubled times, the regime was divided, and Ningzhou was the territory of the former Southern Guard, and Buddhism was relatively prosperous, so there were many Buddha statues built in the palace, all of which were made of gold leaf.

Later, other countries also came here, and this skill became the national key protection object of the former Southern Guard.

After the reunification, Xu Mochen didn't have time to build large-scale construction projects. The imperial palace was not expanded, and there were no palaces and the like. He didn't care about the construction of temples at all.

However, the skills are well preserved.

"Go and have a look," Xu Mochen would not let go of any opportunity, "Sometimes folk skills will surprise you."

The convoy changed direction and headed for the destination.

When we arrived, what we saw was a large-scale building, but it was deserted and deserted, and it seemed that there was no popularity.

Tang Derun stepped forward to say hello, and soon a group of people walked out.

All of them have rough bodies, their arms are full of muscles, and their palms are full of calluses. They should be craftsmen here.

After Tang Derun explained the matter, a middle-aged man bowed to express his understanding.

Here, Xu Mochen got out of the car, followed by Shen Zhining and the others. When the group saw them, they wanted to salute again.

"No," Xu Mochen waved his hand, "I heard that you here have been engaged in the art of forging gold leaf for generations."

"Your Majesty," the middle-aged man stepped forward, "Caomin Wang Sheng, let Caomin tell the truth.

The Wang family has been engaged in forging gold foil for five generations.

Now that the world is united, Your Majesty is the wise ruler of the world, and he concentrates on government affairs, without any civil construction, so the amount of gold leaf has decreased a lot in the past two years. "

Xu Mochen nodded: "The demand is small, but it doesn't mean that the technology is useless. You can make transformation."

Wang Sheng expressed that he did not understand what transformation was.

A group of people entered the hall chatting casually, Xu Mochen sat down, and the rest stood at the bottom.

He motioned to Tang Derun, who stepped forward and took out the injection needle.

"I want to ask you if you can build something like this, or if there is any way." Xu Mochen picked up the tea bowl casually and took a sip.

Wang Sheng took it over and looked at it carefully, and couldn't help "tsk tsk" in amazement: "Your Majesty, although this thing is small, it is rare and exquisite in craftsmanship, especially the needle is still hollow."

Xu Mochen said don't underestimate this thing, it can only be produced on the basis of modern industry.

In this world, it would be very difficult to create if there were no immortal practitioners who used immortal techniques to help.

"The material of this thing is neither iron, nor copper, nor gold, nor silver." After all, it is a craftsman who has been engaged in forging in the past dynasties, and he still has a vision. An extremely hard metal called white steel."

"Good eyesight," Xu Mochen almost applauded, "Is it difficult to smelt it?"

He knew it was stainless steel, not the same as steel.

"It's very difficult," Wang Sheng did not deny, "It was only forged by accident, and I don't know how much manpower and material resources will be spent.

In many places, they are made into important weapons and swords for use by members of the royal family. "

In other words, with the current technology, it is impossible to smelt stainless steel in large quantities.

Xu Mochen was not discouraged: "Then, according to my husband's opinion, is there an alternative or improvement method?"

"Cao Min has some ideas." Wang Sheng frowned, "But Cao Min doesn't know what His Majesty wants this thing for."

Zhao Lingbo smiled, and she stepped forward to explain.

"It's used to inject water and other things," Wang Sheng understood, "and it's meant to pierce human skin. In this case, Caomin has an idea. I don't know if it's okay to use iron tools."

Xu Mochen didn't understand very well either, he looked at Shen Zhining.

"It's possible," Shen Zhining searched, but there was no solution, "but it's mainly the needle..."

"It's really difficult," Wang Sheng affirmed. "If you want to make it so sharp and small, I'm sorry to say that we can't achieve it with our skill level, but if it is thicker and acceptable, there is a way."

Xu Mochen and Shen Zhining looked at each other: "I would like to hear the details."

"Caomin has been engaged in forging for generations, and found that different materials have different firing temperatures," Wang Sheng explained, "For example, silver is easier to burn than iron."

Xu Mochen understood this, the melting points of metals are different.

"So Cao Min thinks that it is possible to use two molds for manufacturing," Wang Sheng began to explain, "The first mold is small to make a solid needle, but this time the material can be made of gold and silver.

Then make a larger mold outside it, fill the hollow with wax, and then inject molten iron to make it cool and set.

In this way, the surface layer is iron, and the inside is gold and silver that is easier to burn.

The third step is to melt the solid gold and silver inside to get a hollow needle. "

Xu Mochen couldn't help standing up, using the melting point of metal to deal with it, it sounds very reasonable.

"Can it work?" Xu Mochen asked.

Shen Zhining shook her head, this is a technique that Du Niang doesn't know about, no one has done it before.

"The melting temperature of molten iron is higher than that of gold and silver," Xu Mochen mused, "Will the gold and silver be melted when pouring in the second time?"

Wang Sheng also thought of it: "So this step is very critical, as soon as it is poured in, it must be cooled immediately.

And this thing is very small, I am afraid it will be more difficult to operate.

If His Majesty can still accept larger needles, there are other ways, but they are more painful to use. "

No matter how painful it is, it is better than losing your life.

"Sir," Xu Mochen stepped forward, "Whether the method you mentioned can help me create it is a matter related to the people's livelihood in the world, and I ask you to help me."

Wang Sheng hurriedly saluted: "Caomin is nothing but a countryman. He only has skills and can serve His Majesty. Caomin is willing to lose his mind.

It's just what I just said, it's just the idea of ​​grassroots, and it needs to be operated to know, and it's okay to improve slowly. "

"No matter how difficult it is, we have to start." Xu Mochen turned around, "In Prince Ning's mansion, how much gold and silver are copied?"

Tang Derun coughed and went forward to report in a low voice.

"Bring them all here," Xu Mochen immediately made a decision, "You can't do your work in vain, you have to be paid.

In addition, what supplies are needed, I will report them directly in the future, and I will personally take care of the matter. "

As long as you can get the injection needle, you have to pay no matter how much it costs.
