Chapter 230: Steel

That is the scene when the gas in the furnace expands rapidly when heated,

carrying burning impurities out of the furnace.

The flames gradually faded after tens of breaths, replaced by sparks that

splashed from time to time-that is, molten iron.

Because these iron products are mixed in composition and have cavities inside,

when they melt, the gas in this part of the void will burst like an explosion

and bring a lot of molten iron.

Every eruption at the furnace mouth will cause a commotion on the scene.

The scene before them was a scene they had never seen before.

In the past smelting, it was difficult to raise the furnace temperature above

1,300 degrees, which caused the pig iron to melt slowly and could not be

completely liquefied, and the molten iron flowing out was as viscous as magma.

The splashing sparks are proof that the iron ingots have completely melted.

After more than 1,500 Baidu, they are heavier "water", and they can splash

like water droplets with a little disturbance.

Ning Wanjun was surprised and looked at Mo Yun, "Isn't it possible that no one

thought of using Lishu to smelt before?"

"Why not?" Mo Yun replied, "However, the basic spells of Lishu cannot be

effective for a long time. For example, Feihuayan, Yaoying needs nitro powder,

and it can only create a flow of fire, even burning roots. It is guaranteed to

ignite, not to mention gold and iron things. As for those guards or blue

swords who are good at using Lishu, they may be able to keep burning, but they

will not do this by themselves."

"So the most important thing is the listener spell?"

"No... the most important thing is people." At this point, Mo Yun glanced at

Xia Fan imperceptibly.

To be honest, when the other party came to her at night and said this idea,

her first reaction was extremely surprised. Not only was she surprised that

Luo Qing would cooperate with Xia Fan in this way, revealing the details of

his spells, but also surprised that the first thing that Xia Fan thought of

after testing the characteristics was to use it for steel smelting.

Needless to say the former, most alchemists regard their own magical

experience as top-secret things. If they don’t have enough benefits, they will

not spread it easily. Obviously Luo Qingli trusts Xia Fan to some extent; the

latter is completely It was Xia Fan's thinking that was very different from

that of ordinary people at work—instead of her own, it might be difficult to

counter-intuitively associate the listener's powerful ability with the melting

pot.

But thinking about it now, this is the way a researcher should have.

She still needs to learn a lot.

Ning Wanjun suddenly took Mo Yun a few steps to the side, and asked in a low

voice, "I heard Xia Fan say that he talked to you all night that day?"

"Uh, this..." Mo Yun was a little stuck for a while, "His Royal Highness, I am

not..."

"No, this is good." The princess shook her head.

"what?"

"He is the only one who can talk to you technically all night, right?" She

smiled at the corner of her mouth. "Did you not find yourself talking to other

people, every sentence is very short? The mind is bored but no one can talk

about it. If you don’t have a player with considerable skills, the days to

come will undoubtedly be a lot boring. In addition to not wanting to hurt you,

I also have concerns in this area-after all, you are good at And what I like,

I can’t make up for it.”

"His Royal Highness..." Mo Yun couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"You just ordered them to stack iron ingots and organize tests. They look more

glamorous than other times, as if there is light in their eyes. I am very

happy to see you as a friend." The princess grabbed her calmly. The hand said,

"Go do what you want, so that I won't regret leaving you in Jinxia City."

...

Xia Fan didn't notice the conversation between the two, he was paying

attention to Luo Qing's state, "How do you feel? Is the consumption of Qi?"

"It's really a little bit bigger than simply controlling a dragon scale, but I

don't think this is a more laborious thing." Luo lightly felt the qi in his

lower body and replied, "It should not be possible to insist on this for an

hour or two. problem."

It seems that Qi has great potential in energy conversion.

From a certain perspective, the power contained in an alchemist is stronger

than that of a steam locomotive, but there is no way to transform the two

before.

Considering the specific manifestation of the spell, this is probably the

lowest estimate.

"The position of the sword began to sink." Luo gently reminded suddenly.

This means that the upper layer of pig iron has basically melted, and the

flowing molten iron is filling the gap between each wrought iron below.

For this test, he almost collected all the raw materials in the Jinxia City

weapons warehouse and the city's blacksmith shops. If you want to smelt these

iron ingots into steel according to the method of the Ministry of Industry and

Technology, it will take hundreds of people to work continuously for a month

or two, but now it is less than two quarters of an hour. The first step of the

process is also the most difficult The first step has been fully achieved.

The next step is to mix the pig iron with the wrought iron as much as

possible. If quality is the pursuit, the smelter usually clamps the wrought

iron sheet with huge iron tongs and rolls it repeatedly in the molten iron to

make the contact more comprehensive. This is essentially a helpless approach

under the limitation of furnace temperature. Xia Fan obviously had no such

worries. He relied on the dragon scales to further heat and melted the wrought

iron with a melting point of over 1,500 Baidu. Both became molten iron. The

best mix.

This is the second step and a step beyond the times.

It represents the possibility of fast and efficient production

~www.mtlnovel.com~ After another two quarters of an hour, Luo gently signaled

that the blade was no longer sinking, undoubtedly the liquid level in the

furnace had reached its lowest point.

Xia Fan nodded towards Mo Yun, "It's time."

The latter took two steps forward and ordered loudly, "Ready to open the

stove!"

"Yes! Open the furnace door!"

Pulled by more than a dozen people, the hemp rope pulled the heavy furnace

door out a little bit \- it was less than ten inches long and wide, but its

longitudinal distance was more than one arm, like a plug blocking a leak.

When it was pulled out, the orange-red molten iron spewed out instantly!

Under tremendous pressure, even the ten-inch-long bottom mouth made the hot

red flame rush out seven or eight steps away.

Someone in the crowd started cheering.

Regardless of the final result, this liquid flowing down the groove means that

the iron ingot has completed a new smelting.

"Prepare for mold installation! Don't let molten iron spill into the ground!"

"Yes!"

At the other end of the trench, soldiers have placed a large number of stone

molds side by side at the inclined opening.

This harvesting process will continue for a long time.

Xia Fan and Mo Yun, the princess and others came directly to the area where

the model was installed.

The blacksmith who had been waiting here skillfully selected a wide and flat

stone mold, picked up the red iron bar in it, and threw it into the bucket

prepared in advance. When the water vapor dissipated, he took out the iron bar

and placed it on the iron felt, and began to beat it with a hammer-soon, the

iron bar was knocked out of a bend of almost ninety degrees.

Then he picked up a steel drill and slammed it against the iron plate several

times until a little silver-white gap appeared on the surface.

After completing these two tests, the blacksmith reported to the princess with

excitement, "His Royal Highness, Caomin dares to guarantee with twenty years

of experience that the iron produced by this furnace is indeed steel!"
