The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 204 There will always be a solution
Weiyang Palace, outside Qilin Hall.

When it was time to light the lamp, Liu Huan came over with food and wine.

Su Wen stopped Liu Huan and said softly: "eldest son, don't go in."

He shook his head and said: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood today. Going in may make him even more bored."

Liu Huan hummed and said to Su Wen, "Okay."

Just as he was about to leave, he seemed to have thought of something and said to Su Wen: "If Weining comes, don't stop him and find a way to let him in."

Su Wen smiled and said: "I have a sense of discretion, eldest son, don't worry."

"it is good!"

Not long after Liu Huan left, Su Wen was surprised to find that Weining was really here.

The eldest son is really good at predicting events. With such meticulous scheming, if he is not the emperor in the end, who can be?
Wei Ning's every move was within the eldest son's expectation!

The eldest son is so awesome.

"Please go and inform your Majesty." Wei Ning respectfully clasped his fists at Su Wen.

Su Wen nodded and said: "Marquis Zhenbei, wait a moment."

He bravely came to the outside of Qilin Hall and whispered: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Zhenbei wants to see you."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said angrily: "I told you, I won't see anyone!"

After a moment of silence, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty shouted again: "Let him in!"

"Here."

Su Wen breathed a long sigh of relief and said to Wei Ning: "Marquis of Zhenbei, Your Majesty will let you in."

"Ah."

Wei Ning stepped into the Qilin Hall, closed the door, stepped forward, clasped his fists and said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "I see your Majesty."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ignored him, and Weining stood up without ceremony.

"Your Majesty, if anything happens, it doesn't matter. I heard that you haven't eaten or drank all day."

"How will we fight the Huns next year if we are broken?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said angrily: "You're still spanking me! Half the battle is already lost!"

"This big man has a lot of backstabbing, and they don't want me to be good to him. They don't want to see the big man rise!"

Wei Ning agreed: "There is such a group of people, but we can't lose our fighting spirit because of these things."

"I just lost some weapons, it's nothing."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "You don't know how much this batch of weapons will increase the Huns' combat effectiveness, and how many Han soldiers will die on our own weapons."

"Where can I get food to eat and water to drink?"

Wei Ning thought for a moment and said, "This is not a big deal."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty said: "Isn't this a big deal?"

Wei Ning shook his head and said, "It doesn't count."

"Tomorrow, there will always be a solution. You should eat and drink first."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Wei Ning and saw the seriousness and concern on his face. He couldn't bear to say any harsh words and said, "Come here, get some food and wine."

He knew that Weining was thinking about himself.

When Wei Ning saw that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had eaten food and drank wine, he stopped disturbing him. He said to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, "Your Majesty, take a good rest and go to bed early tonight."

"Ah."

Wei Ning cupped his fists and said, "I'm leaving."

"Go." Emperor Wu of Han waved his hand.

……

Weining returned to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.

In fact, at Wei Qing's house, Wei Ning began to think about how to make up for this loss.It is impractical and impossible to find out who colluded with the Huns to transport weapons.

Moreover, the weapons have already been in the hands of the Huns. Unless they are defeated in the war, these weapons will not be returned.

The idea makes no sense.

So Weining changed his way of thinking. If Dahan produced another weapon that could defeat the lost weapons, wouldn't that be okay?
From the beginning of the Han Dynasty to the present, the Han Dynasty has fully entered the Iron Age.

Historically, steel did not appear until the late Western Han Dynasty.

Wouldn't it be enough if steel weapons were produced now and then used to deal with traditional weapons?
Back at home, Weining checked the system mall and found the manufacturing process of the steel frying method.

To put it simply, the pig iron is heated to a semi-liquid or liquid state using coal or coke, charcoal, charcoal and other charcoal fire, and the molten iron is stirred continuously like cooking. At the same time, a blast furnace is used to blow the air, and an appropriate amount of mineral powder is sprinkled to reduce the carbon content to Composition range of steel.

Because this kind of steel has high carbon content and few impurities, it is extremely hard and sharp. It can even be cut into a state like mud when steel is made.

If the Han Dynasty army was equipped with hundreds of steel, it would have enough advantages in weapons.

Even if the Huns obtained the iron weapons of the Han Dynasty, they would still be at a disadvantage when facing the hundred-forged steel sword.

There is still a little half a year before the spring of next year. There is enough time. All we need to do is make the Bailiang Steel and equip it on the weapons and armor of the Han soldiers.

Wei Ning found the method, but he didn't know how to refine it or whether it could be successfully refined.

Although he knew the method, the specific smelting still relied on the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty.

Early the next morning, Wei Ning got up early. He first went to the government office of Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion in Weiyang Palace.

Weining could enter and exit Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion at will. When he was making paper, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty gave him the right to enter Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion at will.

Weining first went to find the craftsman responsible for smelting pig iron.

He showed the other party the manufacturing process of the fried steel method.

The craftsman didn't understand it at first. He looked at it repeatedly for a while. His eyes gradually became brighter than confused at first, and finally he started to tremble with excitement.

"This... Lord Hou, this..."

Wei Ning asked him: "Is there any way to smelt it?"

Weining is not actually worried about the skills of these craftsmen, they are fine.

His concern was the temperature.

Frying steel requires a temperature of more than 1000 degrees. Do they have a way to control the temperature at such a high temperature?

After listening to Wei Ning's words, the palace craftsman thought for a while and then said: "It's not impossible to achieve."

"You can try to install a "gou" on the furnace body, a leather bag made of sheepskin or cowhide, which is used to blow air. It is used to blow air when smelting iron to increase the temperature in the furnace."

"The tall furnace is built with cobblestones, charcoal powder, and ore powder using the board construction method to ensure that the temperature in the furnace is not lost..."

This craftsman was very familiar with the art of high-temperature smelting. Wei Ning couldn't understand it, but it didn't stop him from feeling the wisdom of the ancients.

This is the Han Dynasty thousands of years ago!It can achieve high temperatures of thousands of temperatures.

The wisdom of our ancestors cannot be underestimated. It’s amazing to think that our Chinese civilization has been passed down for so long!
Now that the craftsman has an idea, Weining will not disturb him.

Wei Ning said: "Then I'll bother you. Let the craftsmen hurry up. If it's made, I'll take credit for you personally."

"What's your name?"

The old craftsman saluted Weining excitedly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Hou, Mr. Hou! Thank you, Mr. Hou!"

These craftsmen have been here all their lives, and there is no development at all. They are not officials, and their salaries are low.

How could I not be excited now that I heard that the Marquis of Zhenbei was going to ask for credit for them personally and also asked me about his name?

"Old Wu Liuzhou."

Wei Ning: "What a good name. I remember you."

"If there is any progress, go to the Marquis Mansion to find me. I will inform the chief of Zongzheng Da Nong Mansion later and allow you to leave the palace at any time."

"Thank you Hou Ye!"
