Chapter 223 Metallurgical Formula

"Which one?"

What Chen Ran dialed was Fatty Luo's number. After the call was connected, Fatty Luo's impatient voice came.

"it's me."

Chen Ran replied in a leisurely manner, but as soon as his voice came out, the other end of the phone suddenly fell silent.

"Do you know who I am?" Chen Ran leaned on the driver's seat and asked slowly.

Chen Ran spoke slowly, but it frightened Fatty Luo on the other side. While wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he said incoherently: "I know, I know, of course I know...it's Chen... Young Master Chen, right? .”

It's no wonder that Fatty Luo is so scared. The news that Zhou Jianyun was sent to the army by the old man of the Zhou family has spread in the circles of Zhongdu. Some say that Zhou Jianyun caused a big disaster, and some say that Zhou Jianyun offended someone... He will be sent to the army by Mr. Zhou.Fatty Luo also heard about this incident, and he inadvertently learned some inside information from Lu Tianming.

After going through that turmoil, Lu Tianming became more honest. He spent all day in the jade carving school and practiced the carving method handed down by his Lu family. The engraving of "Mountains and Rivers of the Motherland", and then there is motivation. Obviously, he has already regarded Chen Ran as his goal. Although he didn't say anything, he must be waiting to challenge Chen Ran one day.

Fatty Luo didn't know much about the inside story from Lu Tianming. He only knew that Zhou Jianyun was sent to the army by the old man of the Zhou family during a contest with Chen Ran, but he didn't know the specific process. It was this reason that made him so Afraid of Chen Ran, Zhou Jianyun was 'forced' to leave and joined the army, but Chen Ran had nothing to do with it. If Chen Ran had no background and killed him, he would not believe it. You must know that the Zhou family is very domineering People, even if Zhou Jianyun got into a catastrophe and was sent to the army, if Chen Ran had no background, he would definitely not be better off, but now Chen Ran is doing well... After knowing this, it made him worry a lot, now What he was most afraid of was seeing Chen Ran.

"It's good if you know." Chen Ran snorted lightly, without talking nonsense with him, and said directly: "Contact me the vice principal of the school, Shi Shucheng, Principal Shi."

"Okay, okay... Young Master Chen, just wait, I'll contact you right away." Fatty Luo didn't dare to neglect, and quickly agreed.

Only then did Chen Ran hang up the phone, and not long after he hung up, the phone rang again, and when it was connected, it was Shi Shucheng who was calling.

"It's Chen Ran. Where have you gone? It's not easy to contact you. Don't you want the bonus..." After the call was connected, Shi Shucheng cheerfully opened a chat with Chen Ran. Just kidding, according to the regulations of the contest, whether it is the prize money of the contest or the auction funds of jade carving works, it will be credited to the contestant's account after ten days, but after ten days, there is no way to contact Chen Ran.

Chen Ran called Fatty Luo to find Shi Shucheng for the funds. Needless to say, Shi Shucheng was so enthusiastic about Chen Ran on the phone, and he even tried his best to invite Chen Ran to the Jade Carving School. Chen Ran It can only be said that this time is a bit busy, so I will go after a while.

After finishing speaking, Shi Shucheng asked Chen Ran for his bank account number, and said to call Chen Ran immediately. Not long after he hung up, Shi Shucheng replied to Chen Ran, saying that the funds had arrived, a total of 180 million.

Hearing that it was 180 million, Chen Ran was a little surprised. Although the sum of the bonus of 20 and the auction funds of 160 million for jade carvings was exactly 180 million, this did not exclude the cost of jade carving materials and taxes.

Although the value of the jade carving material he used is not too high, it is worth 10,000+, not to mention taxes and fees. The funds from auctions like theirs are tax deducted at 20.00%. 20.00% is 32 50, together it is almost [-].

Chen Ran asked Shi Shucheng what was going on, and Shi Shucheng laughed and said, the school accepted your pair of "Mountains and Rivers of the Motherland" at a price of 160 million, which has already caused you a lot of losses. Is this tax not acceptable?

What Shi Shucheng means is that the cost and taxes are paid by the school. There are reasons why Shi Shucheng did this. One is to win over Chen Ran, and the other is that what Chen Ran doesn't know is that his copy of "Mountains and Rivers of the Motherland" is popular in the industry. Now the noise has reached nearly 300 million. This is because the jade material used by Chen Ran is of a low grade. Otherwise... I heard Shi Shucheng say that his "Motherland Mountains and Rivers" has nearly 300 million noise. , Chen Ran was thinking about whether he would start accepting business, but after thinking about it, he gave up this tempting idea, because just being a jade carver was no longer enough for him, if he only planned to be a jade carver in this life If he is a jade carver, he can take advantage of this opportunity and make a lot of money by accepting business, but he not only wants to be a jade carver, he also wants to do business in this line of business, that is, to be his own boss.

Being a jade carver is not common. The reason why this pair of "Mountains and Rivers of the Motherland" can be sold at a sky-high price is not because everyone came here for the signboard of the eight-knife split-wave carving method, and this pair of works is now a unique one. , if he sculpts a lot of works at once, the price will naturally drop. If he wants to keep this price, he can only carve one piece every few years and take the boutique route. The practice of eating every month for three years is obviously not what he wants.

If he continues to carve a piece of work, it may become even more popular, but it will definitely not be too popular. Now that he is suppressing it, the price of this pair of "Mountains and Rivers of the Motherland" will definitely rise more and more. Gao, wait for his next work... This principle is like when you have an orgasm, you release the pleasure little by little, or keep pressing it, and wait until the orgasm to release the pleasure all at once.

The most important thing is that he not only wants to be a jade carver, he also wants to step into this industry and open a jade shop. If he carves now, he will open a jade shop after the heat is over, and other jade shops. There is not much competitiveness in the industry. Although it will attract some people, it will soon be suppressed by other jade shops. After all, the current market is saturated and the competition is also great. Wait for him to come out At that time, I am afraid that he will become a public enemy immediately, and other jade wares will definitely jointly suppress him, so it is better to keep this momentum down, and wait until the jade wares are opened to become popular, even if other jade wares want to suppress him. It's too late.

In other words, he must gain a firm foothold in this industry before other jade companies react.

4000 million!

Chen Ran's task now is to earn 4000 million as soon as possible.

tried!

Thinking of the agreement with Zhou Jianyun, Chen Ran took a few deep breaths, and did what he said, without hesitation, he immediately called that Mr. Hou.

Mr. Hou came very quickly, and treated Chen Ran very respectfully. He obviously regarded Chen Ran as a son like Zheng Le. Zheng Le had explained everything to him, so there was nothing to talk about. He took Chen Ran to go through various procedures.

It took only half an hour for this Huangquan sword factory to become Chen Ran's. Correspondingly, Chen Ran also paid a huge sum of 800 million yuan, which almost drained his net worth, although it has not been completely wiped out. Squeeze it dry, but only 80 are left.

After rejecting Mr. Hou's treat, Chen Ran returned home for lunch at noon. Yesterday, he brought back a wild boar weighing more than 200 kilograms, several pheasants and hares. The lunch was also very rich, plus Chen Xiaowen and Chen Xiaomei They were all at home, eating a meal, and there was always chirping in their ears, and the two brothers and sisters often bickered.

After eating, Chen Ran started to get busy.

In the next two or three days, Chen Ran is making preparations for the opening of the furnace. Although he will definitely invite the foundry master in the future, there is a prerequisite that he must prepare the formula first. The metallurgical technology and recipes were handed over to the foundry masters. Firstly, according to the effects of the cast weapons, and then match the recipes as appropriate, the recipes are different, and the effects of the weapons will be different.

Chen Ran doesn't have to worry that this technology will be leaked out in the future, because even if he taught the foundry master the process of metallurgy, without his unique formula, the foundry master would not be able to forge the ancient swords of Kunwu Kingdom.

To forge a good sword, you must have the best iron ore, the best hot iron, and the best water...After dozens of processes such as refining, forging, shoveling, filing, engraving, quenching, and grinding, Some have more than 20 lines, some have more than 30 lines, some have hundreds of lines... For example, the metallurgical technology of Kunwu country has hundreds of ways. In addition to the excellent weapons casted, the metallurgical technology of Kunwu country has another characteristic, that is, speed Hurry up, this is also the reason why Kunwu country's metallurgical technology was so famous at that time. After all, cold weapons were used in wars at that time, and it took several months to build a weapon. That being said, it's not very useful.

The casting process of Kunwu Kingdom is so fast because of its unique formula.

It took Chen Ran a whole day to prepare the steel materials needed for casting. In addition to steel, there is also a special kind of soil called kaolin. People who have heard of Jingdezhen must be very familiar with this kind of soil. Everyone is familiar with it. The ceramics in Jingdezhen are made of this kind of clay. In addition to making pottery, kaolin has many other functions, such as making paper.

The main function is high temperature resistance, fire resistance, improving the plasticity of the sword, with gloss and electrical insulation.It should have been another kind of soil. This kind of soil is called "outcrop" head or magnetite. "'Outcrop' head" only exists on the surface, and its reserves are very limited. By the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, it was on the verge of depletion. Now it is difficult to Found it, Chen Ran can only use kaolin instead, the effect of the two is the same. Now the swords produced in many places are made of pure steel. However, Kunwu country's metallurgical technology has a unique formula, and it uses magnets, steel and head ash as raw materials, and is smelted by local methods.

The head ash is a material formed by stacking the ashes of wolftail grass and limestone on top of each other, after decay, and artificially urinating and decaying on it during the decay.

Why can the ancient swords and swords cast by Kunwu be immortal?

Naturally, the steel material used is incorruptible and immortal. To create such a steel material, the raw material of head ash is needed. It is smelted by local methods, which can not only make the sword immortal, but also increase the toughness of ancient swords. '.

Some people may not know head ash, but some people must have heard of or eaten the raw material of puff ash. The raw material of puff ash is a wild plant that grows on dry mountains and ridges - puff grass, which turns yellow in late autumn The burned ash is called Peng ash.

The current beef ramen has this kind of raw material. It is only after eating the fluffy beef ramen that it feels soft and flexible.

Sometimes after eating ramen, I feel a little nauseous, and that's because the ingredients added exceed the standard.

The properties of fluff ash and head ash are similar. Both fluff ash and head ash can be used for metallurgy in Kunwu country, but the effect of head ash is better.

Kunwu Country is the inventor of the pottery manufacturing industry, so the metallurgical technology of Kunwu Country also has the shadow of many pottery raw materials, such as kaolin and head ash.

This is the iron ore needed for smelting in Kunwu Kingdom.There is also high-quality water, which is also prepared through a unique formula... There are also many kinds of smelting techniques in Kunwu Kingdom, and there is also a sword specially made for kings and nobles. Not only is it exquisitely crafted, but the whole sword will float There was a scent, like the scent of ambergris.

After three or four days of preparation, it was finally fully prepared, and now it was waiting for Chen Ran to act as a blacksmith.
