After Qin Shihuang agreed to build the armory of saddles and horseshoes, the next day, Fu Su found Gongshu Pan.

"Sir, please take a look at this picture…"

As Fu Su spoke, he handed a silk scroll with a drawing to Gongshu Pan.

After taking the Gongshu Pan, he realized what was drawn on it.

This was a bellow.

This was definitely a huge military achievement.

One had to know that the weapons used during the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period were mainly made of bronze.

However, in the later period of the Warring States Period, it had already evolved into the Qin Kingdom, although bronze weapons were still the mainstream.

However, compared to the Bronze Age, iron weapons that were even more powerful began to show their talents.

However, before the bellows were invented, the only thing that could be invented in the smelting furnace was white iron.

This was the so-called pig iron in the future.

But the problem was that pig iron could not be processed directly.

In other words, he could not directly forge weapons.

What should he do then?

The only way was to repeatedly return the pig iron to the furnace for tempering and to continuously infiltrate the carbon.

Only in this way could white iron be turned into refined iron that could be used to forge weapons.

After forging Refined Iron, he could start forging weapons.

Only forged weapons could be used to kill enemies on the battlefield.

However, if the bellows were invented, the situation would be completely different.

Due to the bellows, the temperature of the furnace was increased, and the iron furnace could directly forge refined iron!

Moreover, it was refined iron forged directly from the smelting furnace.

Therefore, the refined iron refined from the white iron forged was undoubtedly of a higher quality than the refined iron refined from repeated carbonizing.

This method greatly increased the production of weapons.

In other words, if the State of Qin could have bellows, then it would not be a dream to invent a large number of iron weapons in the future.

Although stirrups and saddles could increase the combat power of cavalry, they were not very useful on the battlefield.

Huaxia's army was still mainly made up of infantry.

However, if the manufacturing of weapons could be reformed, it would truly be a great military revolution.

In his previous life, Fu Su had studied smithing techniques for a period of time because he had a relative who smithed in the countryside.

At that time, Fu Su saw that he was using a small wooden box.

Out of curiosity, he had studied the small wooden box for a while.

Actually, the principle was not complicated. As long as a child learned a little, he should be able to do it.

Now, Fu Su had relied on his memories from his previous life and his own intelligence in this era to make some slight changes to his own thoughts. Then, he drew it for the current Gongshu Pan to see.

When he first saw the bellows, Gongshu Pan's eyes revealed a trace of shock.

This was because when Fu Su was drawing this painting, he had used a brush to write down the function of this thing.

When Gongshu Pan saw that this thing could actually carry out such a huge innovation in iron smelting technology, he simply could not believe it!

One had to know that a figure like Gongshu Pan specialized in all kinds of strange skills and tricks.

This was especially true for iron-smelting technology, which was something that military experts had been researching.

Only by mass-producing iron weapons could one dominate the world and be omnipotent.

The difficulty of refining refined iron had always been a vexing topic for the Qin country's military experts.

However, Fusu's method could at least increase the refinement of refined iron by about five to six times.

If it was completed, Great Qin's military strength would greatly improve.

Thinking of this, Gongshu Pan still could not believe that this thing was actually so powerful.

"Your Highness, is this thing really that powerful?”

Gongshu Pan was still in disbelief. A small box could actually increase such a huge amount of power.

Fu Su smiled and said,""Whether you can do this or not, please try it yourself after you invent it. In short, I only want the results.”

After hearing this, Gongshu Pan nodded and said,"Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best.”

"There's something else here that Mr. Gongshu should be very familiar with.”
