200,000 Jin of Hundred Refined Steel
The blacksmiths became even more curious and expectant. What would such a huge furnace look like when it was used to refine steel?
Meng Cang and Guo Yi only returned late at night with a large group of craftsmen.
He also brought back a large amount of lead.
These were all mined and transported from other workshops in the mountains. Fortunately, they were not far away and could make it in time.
"Preceptor, fortunately, these are all lead. I have already arranged for people to continue mining in the mine, and the second batch will be sent over tomorrow morning.”
Amidst the orange flames.
Meng Cang walked forward and bowed.
"Get up first."
Han Cheng waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to be so polite.
He took a torch and walked to the center of the team to patrol. Then, he activated the Void Engine to calculate.
Host has detected a large amount of graphene.
Host analyzing and deducing
The host's analysis is successful. The current amount of lead can meet the needs of the No. 1 blast furnace.
Han Cheng nodded in satisfaction and said,"This is enough. Pouring all the lead into the furnace!”
When Meng Cang and Guo Yi heard this, they knew that this batch of steel could be refined. They were so excited that their bodies were trembling.
The moment to witness a miracle was about to arrive.
"Quick, pour all the lead in and bring a few more ladders!”
"The two of you carry it and pour it in together! Speed up!"
Meng Cang and the other man began to command the craftsmen. They looked energetic and did not seem tired at all after working for half a day.
Another hour passed.
All the lead was poured into the blast furnace.
The lid was closed.
The craftsmen retreated.
"Lord Preceptor, I've completed your orders." Meng Cang and Guo Yi asked excitedly. Can we start smelting?"
"Indeed."
Han Cheng said with a look of anticipation.
Whether or not he could succeed in smelting steel depended on this wave.
Han Cheng walked step by step to the blast furnace and pressed the buttons on the base.
The markings on it were very clear: start/stop, increase temperature/decrease temperature/measure temperature/extract steel/extract slag
After Han Cheng pressed the start button, he raised the temperature.
The number on the monitor was 1700C.
About three seconds later.
Under the gazes of many craftsmen.
Rumble!
The entire furnace began to operate! The noise was loud!
The craftsmen did not mind the noise at all. Instead, they were all excited.
They all knew that they were about to witness a miracle!
About an hour passed.
The blast furnace was still running.
The surrounding temperature rose.
Most of the craftsmen had fallen asleep in the corner, snoring.
A small number of them were still waiting for the steel to be produced.
Outside the workshop, a few crows of chickens could be heard.
The morning sun rose in the sky.
Beep ~!!
Suddenly.
The blast furnace rang with a notification. It stopped functioning.
"Done, two hundred thousand jin."
Han Cheng looked at the number displayed on the control panel. It was 20. This meant that this furnace of steel was a total of 200,000 jin.
After arranging the containers, Han Cheng opened the furnace. The hot molten steel immediately surged out. One side was waste, and the other was steel.
This blast furnace produced very little waste, almost nothing. It would not affect production at all.
"It's out, I've practiced it!"
"How many pounds is this?"
"It seems to be 200,000 catties! The state preceptor said it himself!"
"Oh my god…did I hear wrongly?”
Many craftsmen stared at the molten steel flowing out, shocked beyond words.
A furnace of 200,000 jin!
With so many of them working day and night for a month, they only managed to reach 100,000 jin! It was simply incomparable to this divine artifact!
"Hundred Refined Steel! 200,000 catties of refined steel!"
"Old Guo, this is a miracle!"
Meng Cang and Guo Yi were so excited that tears were about to fall.
They could tell that what Han Cheng had refined with this divine artifact was all refined steel!
They used to produce 100,000 catties of iron a month, but the Hundred Refined Steel could only produce a few hundred catties! Extremely rare! But now, he had actually refined 200,000 catties of Hundred Refined Steel in one furnace!
If this wasn't a miracle, what was it?
Han Cheng wasn't that excited. He was more happy. If the steel industry developed, it would not be far from industrial development.
If they followed this plan step by step, it would not be long before Great Qin underwent a massive transformation.
……
Xianyang City, Epang Palace.
Ying Zheng had just woken up when he received a piece of news. He was so shocked that he did not recover for a long time.
"The state preceptor went to the smelting workshop and refined 200,000 catties of steel.”
Zhao Gao said.
Ying Zheng stood up immediately." No, I want to see it myself!”
"Your Majesty, you haven't had breakfast yet!" Zhao Gao shouted.”
With an empty stomach, Ying Zheng led three thousand imperial guards to Shenshan Metalwork Workshop outside the city, and rode his horse himself.
He ran all the way.
Ying Zheng had finally arrived.
The imperial guards stopped outside the workshop, and a few guards entered together with Ying Zheng.
After entering the workshop.
Ying Zheng heard the sound of metal hammering. All the craftsmen in the huge workshop were hammering steel. Sparks exploded.
Han Cheng was in the middle of the workshop. Beside him were Iron Official Meng Cang and Iron Official Deputy Guo Yi.
Beside him was an incomparably huge steel shaft furnace. In front of it, people were like ants.
"Is this the divine artifact that Imperial Preceptor built?”Ying Zheng was greatly shocked.
