Da Qin: I am really not the Human Emperor!

Chapter 13: Is your machine technique nuclear-powered?
Even in the military station, he had heard a lot about Ying Zizhou, the second young master of Da Qin, recently, but he couldn't figure out why Ying Zizhou came to see him.

"If you have any needs, Second Young Master, just speak up."

"Gongshu's mechanism skills are famous all over the world. This time I want the master to create something."

"Oh, what is it, and what is it used for?" People like to say nice things. Everyone knows that Gongshujia and Mohist's machine skills are equally good, but what Ying Zizhou said was also very useful to him.

"This thing must not be difficult for Master Gongshu."

With that said, Ying Zizhou briefly described what he wanted.

"How?" He asked as he watched Gong lose his hatred.

"Well, although it's a bit complicated, it's not a problem. But if the army does this, where is the king?" Gongshuqiu looked at him, it would take a lot of manpower to build that thing.

"It doesn't matter, I already have my father's decree." Ying Zizhou said.

"Then I will take action immediately, but it will take some time to develop this thing. I wonder, Second Young Master?"

"There's no rush, Master Gongshu can develop it slowly." Ying Zizhou said.

Gongshu Qiu nodded.

A few days later, news came from Gongshu Chou that what he needed had been built.

When he arrived at the military station, Gong Shuqiu was already waiting for him.

"Second Young Master, please follow me."

Under the leadership of Gong Shuqiu, they came to a workshop.

"This is what the second young master needs." Gong Shuqiu pointed at the thing below and said.

It was a pillar made of bronze and wood, with several brackets surrounding it fixed in mid-air. There was a huge iron block on its head, and below it was an iron platform made of iron blocks.

Yes, this is exactly what a forged punch is.

Then, with Gong Shuqiu's look in his eyes, a craftsman started the machine. With the sound of a mechanism, the huge iron block slowly rose up under the pull of the pillar, and then fell violently!
boom!
There was a muffled sound, and Gongshuqiu looked at him, "I wonder if Second Young Master is satisfied?"

He nodded, and then he watched the fallen iron piece slowly rise automatically, which immediately aroused his curiosity.

He originally thought that Gongshuqiu was using manpower in this regard. In fact, he had thought so before, but he didn't expect that the other party actually created an automatic one!

"Master Gongshu, what's the reason for this?"

Gongshu Qiu smiled: "This military base was built by my father, and all the mechanisms have their origins."

source? What source? Nuclear power energy?

He didn't understand anyway.

"Could it be water?" At this moment, Gai Nie suddenly said.

"Oh? Can Mr. Gai Nie know this?" Gong Shuqiu was a little surprised.

"I, Gui Gu, have also been involved in the art of mechanism to a certain extent, but of course it is not as good as Gong Loser." After a little praise, Gai Nie continued.

"I came to the military base many times and occasionally heard the sound of water, so I thought of water power."

"As expected of a disciple of Guigu, Mr. Gai Nie has extraordinary hearing. Yes, the military base here is built under a waterfall."

"Power is the reason why the movement is vigorous. It can be transmitted back and forth, and it can start again and again. Whether it is the mechanism of the Mohists or my father-in-law, they are all born from this."

Gong Shuqiu said slowly.

"I've been taught a lesson." Gai Nie raised his hand.

"As expected of Master Gongshu!"

What can Ying Zizhou say? He can only say that water power alone can maintain the operation of such a huge military base. This technology is awesome.

"Second Young Master needs this thing. What kind of thing needs to be forged?" Gong Shuqiu is certainly not stupid. He built this machine with his own hands and has no other purpose than stamping.

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from Master Gongshu's eyes. I do have something that needs to be forged." "Oh, I wonder what it is that needs to be like this?" Gongshu Qiu also became a little interested.

Ying Zizhou looked at him: "This thing is in this shop."

Anecdotal evidence?

Gong Shuqiu looked around subconsciously, and then focused on him. After a quick glance, he didn't find anything on Ying Zizhou that needed to be forged by such a machine.

Finally, he set his sights on Mo Qilin.

Could it be Mo Qilin?

Seeing him like this, Mo Qilin subconsciously became vigilant.

Ying Zizhou smiled and hugged him: "Master Gongshu, don't look at him like this. Xuanyou is good at observing hostility."

Gong Shuqiu smiled awkwardly: "I am being reckless. Second Young Master, can you tell me?"

He was also a little surprised. He didn't expect Mo Qilin's perception to be so sharp. His gaze just now was not considered hostile, but he was still perceived by him.

"No rush." ​​He shook his head.

"Before, let me ask Master Gongshu, what are the weapons used by all the countries in the world made of?"

"Of course it's bronze." Gong Shuqiu said.

"However, although they are all made of bronze, there are differences among countries, and the secrets are only known by each country." Gong Shuqiu is relatively familiar with these, after all, he has mastered the development of weapons.

"Yes, weapons from all countries are all made of bronze. Even if there are differences, they are not enough to determine the difference."

They are all weapons made of bronze. Maybe your weapon is better in hardness and yours is lighter, but these are not real advantages.

"What do you mean, Second Young Master?" Gong Shuqiu couldn't understand what he said.

"Master Gongshu, have any other countries developed alternatives to bronze?"

Gongshu Qiu shook his head: "It's difficult. Gold is heavy and expensive, and it's soft and can't be used to make soldiers. The same is true for silver, while bronze is expensive in small quantities and easy to cast."

"Oh? Have you considered iron?"

"Iron?" Gongshu Qiu frowned: "Second Young Master, you know that if the iron is too much, it will be heavy, it cannot be cast, and if it is too little, it will be easy to break."

Ying Zizhou nodded. Yes, in terms of current technology, bronze is undoubtedly the best choice. The first-choice bronze technology is perfect in all countries.

Secondly, the copper mine is large-scale and easy to cast. You only need to pour the molten bronze solution into the mold to form it. With a little polishing, it can be a weapon.

Iron is different. Its melting point is much higher than bronze, which means that it is more difficult to smelt. Secondly, what is melted is pig iron.

Although pig iron has high hardness, it is brittle and is obviously not suitable for making weapons. Therefore, the Qin State always cast it into agricultural tools.

Not to mention that heavy iron farm tools are still much easier to use than bronze.

"I wonder if there are iron ores here, Master Gongshu?"

Gongshu Qiu nodded.

"Then please ask Master Gongshu to open a furnace and smelt some iron. I will have a wonderful use for it."

Gongshuqiu naturally did not refuse this request. Under his arrangement, the people below quickly started to move.

A large amount of iron ore was thrown into the hot blast furnace, while people on the side pulled the bellows hard to increase the temperature in the furnace.

"It will take some time for Second Young Master to smelt."

"It's okay to just watch here." Ying Zizhou was still interested in these things.

But as time went by, workers continued to add charcoal to the furnace, but there was no sign of molten iron flowing down.
