Traveling through Great Qin: Father Qin Shihuang!

According to this speed, before the end of March, the Shenji Department will definitely be put into use smoothly.

And Zhao Che on the other side was not idle, he asked Zhang Han to call all the famous craftsmen of Daqin.

In ancient times, weapons and irons were regarded as controlled products, so generally blacksmiths would report to the government. If they did not report to build iron weapons privately, according to the seriousness of the circumstances, they would be beheaded.

And blacksmithing is also a relatively popular profession, so there are not many blacksmiths in Daqin.

"My lord, all the blacksmiths near Xianyang City have been summoned, and the blacksmiths from the faraway counties are on their way."

Xianyang, Champion Hou's Mansion.

This mansion was rebuilt after Zhao Che became the champion. It is located in the west city of Xianyang, where the Ying clan lived.

As for Zhao Che's original mansion, Yingzheng originally planned to flatten it all and rebuild the Champion Marquis Mansion on the basis of Jingyang, but was rejected by Zhao Che.

The main reason is that his original mansion has long been transformed by the system. It looks like an ordinary residence on the surface, but whenever it encounters danger, it can be turned into a powerful war fortress at any time, enough to withstand the impact of 10 people .

Although with Zhao Che's current status, there is absolutely no need to worry about who dares to attack his mansion, but in everything, there must always be someone behind. This is the code of conduct that Zhao Che has always adhered to.

In this way, Zhao Che still lives in his original mansion on weekdays, and the champion's mansion here is more of a symbolic meaning, unless it is when Zhao Che comes to Jingyang, or when receiving guests. will come here.

Zhao Che summoned so many blacksmiths today, it is inappropriate to let them all go to Xianyang Palace directly, so they simply came to Champion Hou's mansion here.

"Let them come to the backyard."

Zhao Che waved his hand, the area of ​​Champion Hou's mansion was much larger than his mansion in Jingyang, so the backyard was transformed into a research site by Zhao Che.

After giving instructions to Zhang Han, Zhao Che looked at the red furnace in front of him, inside which was a piece of metal that had been tempered for the last time.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!"

As soon as Zhang Han walked in with a group of blacksmiths, he saw Zhao Che was holding a big hammer in his hand, beating the piece of steel vigorously, red sparks splashed everywhere, Zhao Che's expression did not change at all.

"Huh? This piece of iron seems to be a little different from what we made."

The blacksmiths present are basically old people who have been in the industry for several years or even decades. They have been blacksmithing all their lives, and their vision is naturally extremely vicious.

The iron block in Zhao Che's hand has not yet fully formed, but based on their experience, it can be seen that the iron block of Zhao Che is far from the ones they forged.

"In this way, it is true that this piece of iron seems to be very pure, and its flexibility is also very good, but I don't know how hard it is."

A group of blacksmiths didn't dare to disturb Zhao Che who was seriously forging, but discussed with each other in low voices.

"Stab!"

At this time, Zhao Che had already removed the last impurities from the piece of iron in his hand, then began to beat the piece of iron into a cube, and finally put it into water to cool down.

After doing all this, Zhao Che picked up a handkerchief beside him and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Young master, drink some water!"

Seeing this, Zhang Han on the side quickly poured a cup of tea and handed it over.

Zhao Che took the teacup and drank it down, then looked at the blacksmiths present.

"You may see the difference between my piece of iron and the ones you usually make?"

"different?"

Hearing this, the blacksmiths who had guessed for a long time also became interested.

"My lord, can I have a look at this piece of iron?"

To verify the quality of something, of course, it is appropriate to try it yourself.

"Please!"

Zhao Che moved away, and the piece of hundred-refined steel that had been cooled was placed on the board behind him.

A man in his fifties stepped forward first, picked up the piece of steel, first shook the weight, and immediately showed a look of surprise.

"This piece of iron is so heavy!"

After testing the weight, the man picked up the hammer next to him and tapped the steel block lightly, hearing an echo.

As a blacksmith, he naturally has his own way of judging a piece of steel.

The man quickly commented on the piece of steel in his hand.

"My lord, this piece of iron is probably not ordinary pig iron. I guess it must have been forged after a lot of tempering. Otherwise, it would not be so heavy."

After the man finished speaking, he had another doubt.

"However, if it is a general forging method, if you want to forge a piece of iron to this level, not to mention how much physical strength and time it takes, the material of the iron block alone is unlikely to support so many forgings. Dare I ask?" How did the son do it?"

"Yes, the problem can be seen so quickly. I will naturally explain it to you later. You can try the effect of this alloy steel first."

"Alloy steel? Gold is added to this piece of steel?"

These blacksmiths still didn't quite understand what alloy meant, thinking that what Zhao Che was talking about was alloy in the literal sense.

Zhao Che didn't explain too much, but let everyone take turns to evaluate this piece of alloy steel.

After passing each blacksmith's unique testing method, everyone was shocked by this piece of alloy steel.

Of course, the easiest way to test is to use ordinary pig iron to compare with this piece of steel.

There were a lot of excellent weapons in the backyard, but when everyone used these weapons to chop the alloy steel, they hardly left any traces.

"Young master, how is this alloy steel made? If it can be forged into a weapon, my Daqin's weapon will have to be upgraded by several grades!"

All the blacksmiths exclaimed.

"Actually, the forging method of this alloy steel is similar to what you said. It has indeed gone through thousands of tempers, but you also know that after a certain number of forgings, ordinary pig iron can get rid of its own impurities, but it will also lead to forging. Pig iron becomes very brittle."

"Moreover, the alloy steel I forged not only requires hardness, but also good flexibility, which must meet many requirements. Therefore, during the forging process, I need to add other things to meet my requirements. .”

"As for what to add to the alloy steel to make different steels, the usage and dosage are different. I will teach you all of these. Your only goal is to help Daqin create a sufficient amount of alloy steel. Alloy steel."

……

Before Zhao Che asked them to come here, he had informed them of the purpose of coming here in advance. When the Daqin Shenji Department was built, these people would join the Shenji Department to help Daqin build weapons.

Therefore, these blacksmiths are all talents who have been strictly screened.

But at this moment, everyone didn't think too much about it. The alloy steel in front of them, and the method of adding other materials to make ordinary steel produce various properties that Zhao Che said just now, did attract their interest.
