I handed in the sand sculpture through the book system

Xiang Liang guessed right.As early as halfway when he set off to welcome the king of Qi into Jiankang, the steel blast furnace transferred from modern Tangshan had already been built in the suburbs, and passed the basic acceptance and debugging.Because the entire body of the blast furnace adopts a modular design, the speed of construction and inspection has greatly exceeded expectations. Before Mu Chen and others had finished breakfast in the mountain villa, all the equipment had been laid.

According to the previously envisioned process, it was supposed to wait for King Qi to arrive before starting the equipment.However, Wang Zhi talked about it differently, and pointed out that this furnace of steel is of great significance-travelers spread technological knowledge in the Middle Ages, and the ultimate goal is to promote the modernization of the entire society.In the feudal era, agriculture was the lifeline, so there were many etiquettes such as the emperor's farming and the queen's silkworms; in modern society, industry is the lifeline, and the king of Hengyang should also set an example for the world, such as refining the first furnace of steel for the new year.

This statement is indeed extremely compelling, so the consultants agreed in unison, and immediately started the steelmaking process.Jiankang City is rich in products, and the advisory team has already found several iron ore and coal mines in the surrounding area. Now all the materials are in place, and the blast furnace is a fully automated structure.Mu Chen only needs to sit in front of a pile of instrument dials, and press the buttons according to the engineer's instructions.

But to be honest, although modern people are familiar with steelmaking and ironmaking, and everyone is used to hearing the news that the steel output is the world's largest, their impression of the blast furnace is actually quite good, and at most it is a little different from the pictures and videos. experience.Now that I am on the scene, looking up at a pillar of fire flying up from the chimney seven or eight meters high like a dragon, I still can't help being shocked.

Although there was rumbling noise in the blast furnace and fire dragons were flying up the chimney, Duan Ke, who came to adjust the equipment, seemed quite calm.He leaned over and glanced at the instrument, and immediately made a judgment, saying that the quality of the coal entering the furnace was too high, and the calorific value was too high, and it accidentally caused a deflagration, and it was estimated that the temperature would be difficult to control.

"But." He added: "The effect must be amazing."

Duan Ke was right. The high temperature caused the air in the blast furnace to burst repeatedly. It has the momentum of a fire dragon roaring in the forest.If it hadn't been for the fact that he had chosen a secluded and uninhabited place in the suburbs for safety reasons, it would not be long before tens of thousands of Jiankang people would come to watch.

But the people of Jiankang didn't have this kind of eye-catching. King Qi and his party brought by Xiang Liang took a close look at all of them, and the excitement they brought was naturally indescribable.When a few people abandoned their cars and climbed the mountain and walked into the mountain villa where Mu Chen stayed, they turned their heads and saw the half-blank fog transpiring, scorching hot air rising straight up.But Mu Chen stood beside the railing with a smile on his face, but bowed his hands to Qi Wang Yaoyao to salute.

The North and the South have been hostile for a long time, and the cooperation between the two sides is purely expedient, and the etiquette between them is quite embarrassing.A special invitation to meet at a country house is to imply that each other is casual and does not need to be formal.King Qi naturally understood these details, so he bowed his hands to the same one from afar, walked up to him, and was about to say hello, but he looked up but was speechless, stunned—it turned out that the railing dropped seven or eight meters down the mountain, and it was actually a piece of wood. Very wide valley.But there are more than a dozen stone canals horizontally and vertically in this valley, and all the channels are filled with golden-red hot, slowly flowing liquid.

Even if the distance was less than ten meters, King Qi looked down and saw that the hot wind was blowing on his face and his forehead was sweating. It is completely unimaginable how hot the liquid in this valley is.

King Hengyang smiled and groaned, as if he didn't care, but he explained the question in King Qi's mind by saying:

"Originally, I was new to the blast furnace and wanted to try it out. I didn't expect the steelmaking movement to be too big. It's really my fault for disturbing the distinguished guests."

King Qi frowned: "Steelmaking?"

Mu Chen put his suspicious look on his face, but there was no surprise in his heart—according to the historical advisory group, until the Middle Ages, due to the limitation of material technology, human beings could not reach the high temperature required for steelmaking, and could only use quenching and Forging to adjust the carbon content in pig iron, in order to forge "Hundred Refined Steel".I am used to a little bit of steel that has been hard-earned through hard work, so I certainly don't believe in such a "steelmaking" that is so relaxed and comfortable that it is almost a child's play.

But Mu Chen didn't intend to explain it.He knocked on the railing, and then opened his mouth casually, saying that he was really sorry for disturbing King Dajia of Qi, he lived here as a guest and had nothing of his own, so it would be better to offer the whole furnace of steel as an apology.

The first steelmaking materials were not available, and there was no dust removal and carbon removal equipment. The smelted steel could only be regarded as low-value soil steel.But even such rough steel was regarded as a first-class good material and beautiful quality in ancient times, and it happened to be given to King Qi as a show of friendship.

Of course, King Qi didn't understand the twists and turns in Mu Chen's heart, but seeing the stone canal at the bottom of the valley gradually cooling down, and the luster of metal already shining in the solid, he was secretly happy at once, and immediately opened his mouth to thank him and accepted it—is it steelmaking? He doesn't understand, but wars are frequent these years, no matter what kind of metal it is, it is considered an extremely important military reserve.

With this gift as a foreshadowing, the atmosphere between the host and guest is quite harmonious.Mu Chen smiled all over his face, and then invited King Qi into the house.The two sat on their knees in front of the screen and greeted each other.In view of the lack of consensus between the two sides, after briefly chatting about Yuan'an's previous missions and even the daily life of Prince Qi's son Gao Duo, they quickly entered the topic.

It is estimated that half of the purpose of King Qi's visit this time is to find out the details of the Hengyang Palace.Mu Chen knew this well, so he didn't try to hide it.King Qi made a little test on the opposite side, and he immediately nodded and admitted, saying that the officials around him were indeed from Wuling Taohuayuan, but they just came out to rescue the suffering of the people because they saw the world was dark and the world was chaotic.

As for the various miracles that King Qi saw, they were just a small achievement obtained by the hermit people in Taoyuan who had studied hard in the mountains for hundreds of years because of the troubled times at the end of Qin Dynasty.

Speaking of this, Mu Chen clapped his hands and smiled, as if fascinated, but told King Qi that the helicopters and blast furnaces he saw were just prototypes. Miracles have become unimaginable.

"For example, the demonstration field of rice that you saw in the suburbs was the pioneering work of Gao Xian Yuan. There are many hungry and cold people in the world, but with this high-yield and high-yield rice, there is no need to worry about hunger. Since Shennong After thousands of years, I finally don't have to worry about eating..."

Speaking of this, King Hengyang was stunned and a little sad. After such a moment of silence, he finally shook his head, as if he was extremely emotional.

Hearing this, King Qi was subconsciously terrified, but he was still very suspicious—he was born in a humble family, and has been in political affairs for a long time, but he has never heard of a time when the whole world can neither be hungry nor cold; According to the legend, under the rule of Yao and Shun, the world was full of feasts, didn’t there also be widows, widows and loneliness crying out for hunger and cold?Could it be that the Yuan Gaoxian mentioned by the other party is more intelligent and capable than Yao and Shun?

But in front of his master, King Qi would not be so stupid as to get to the bottom of it.He thought about it carefully, but remembered the fire rain that fell from the sky in the capital a month ago, so he asked cautiously, only saying that I don't know which sage wrote it down?

King Hengyang pondered for a while, turned his head and looked at Xiang Liang for a while, and finally smiled and said:

"Huoyu, Leifa? The name of that thing should be Dao... Tan... As for the handwriting—it was written by three great sages surnamed Qian four or fifty years ago."

King Qi felt even more shocked.With his knowledge, of course he couldn't understand the principle of "guidance and bombing", let alone how human beings could create such weapons that can attack thousands of miles and destroy heaven and earth. Can't see the slightest bit of lying.He looked at it carefully for a while, and finally opened his mouth cautiously, only saying that such a genius is rare in the world, and in terms of power, he is probably unparalleled in the world.

King Hengyang's smile widened, and he opened his mouth casually:

"Naturally, the most powerful of the three was worth five divisions back then—"

Before finishing this sentence, the officer surnamed Wang next to him suddenly coughed loudly and waved vigorously, blocking Hengyang King's next words firmly.King Hengyang also looked dazed at first, but soon his face changed drastically, and he immediately began to cough and shiver.

King Qi looked at it in a daze and blinked repeatedly.But soon Xiang Liang stood up and saluted, expressing his apology, only saying that His Royal Highness Prince Hengyang made a slip of the tongue, and please don't be offended by the distinguished guests.

"...The meaning of our Highness just now is not to talk about the level of power." Xiang Liang smiled and calmly defended King Hengyang: "Besides, the 'missile' is just a means of delivery, the point is not in power. Really When you say 'infinite power', it has to be the creation of several sages like Mr. Deng and Mr. Yu..."

After all, he clapped his hands lightly.There was a light beep in the room, and a piece of white cloth suddenly hung down from the wall. The light shone on it, and images gradually emerged.

King Qi had seen the vision of a thousand miles of transmission, but he was not very surprised by it.But the light and shadow of the white cloth flickered and danced, and there appeared a few strange characters in official script horizontally, a little missing arms and legs:

On June [-], the deadlocked situation in Xuzhou finally had its ups and downs.

In the morning of the same day, the king of Qi, who had been hiding in the military camp for dozens of days, appeared in the Xuzhou government office. After calling the local officials in Xuzhou for a meeting, he jointly issued a notice to the world, accusing the ministers of the DPRK and China of bending the law for personal gain and obstructing military affairs. He even impeached the relatives of the central government for acting out of luck, and called on the emperor to refresh politics and start a new era with the world.

After receiving this letter of appeal, the counties and counties near Xuzhou breathed a sigh of relief—they issued a statement denouncing the courtiers in the court, and aspiring to win the world in the name of the Qing emperor. This is the traditional routine of the Northern Dynasties rebellion for a hundred years.Now King Qi is acting honestly and according to the rules, unintentionally saving political groups the effort of throwing stones and asking for directions and making careful guesses.

Sure enough, after the announcement of the call to action, the next process is proceeding step by step—Xuzhou is thousands of miles away from the capital, and the court has not responded yet; but Qi Wang's cronies are all over the Northern Dynasty, and many prefecture and county generals are already copying the call to action , dispatched troops to respond, and even led the team to Xuzhou in person, preparing to do an earth-shattering Conglong career.

King Qi wants to win the world, so he naturally regards winning people's hearts as his top priority.As a result, the Xuzhou government office was full of people for a while, and the king of Qi set up Xingyuan Yanna staff here, talking with the old Panhuan who had defected, and arranging various affairs, and he was very busy.

After all the fuss during the day, King Qi invited a few loyal confidants alone, saying that he hadn't seen him for a few days and that he wanted to have a banquet in his private house.But several subordinates followed King Qi to leave the mansion on horseback, turned left and right in Xuzhou City, and entered a very secluded alley.King Qi watched from side to side, then got off his horse and clapped his hands lightly.The figures in the alley swayed, but in an instant, seven or eight black-clothed figures sprang out, climbing up and down, each occupying key positions, and keeping a firm watch on the entrance and end of the alley.remember

Seeing the tight blockade on the left and right, King Qi opened his mouth in a low voice. He explained the purpose of coming in a concise and concise manner. He only said that the Hengyang Palace in the Southern Dynasty kidnapped the eldest son Gao Duo, and used this as a bargaining chip to cooperate with him in attacking, which led to the current situation.

King Qi's subordinates were shocked when they heard such a secret.Several hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground and asked King Qi if he wanted to mobilize his spies to secretly rescue the prince.

Much to everyone's surprise, King Qi shook his head resolutely:

"Although there is a threat, there is a lot of room for cooperation right now, so don't startle the enemy for now." King Qi said quickly, "You first quietly send your elite soldiers to Wuling to find some people!"

The trusted subordinates quickly kowtowed and only asked the origins and names of these people.King Qi closed his eyes and thought carefully for a moment before finally opening his eyes suddenly:

"—These people should have a lot of connections with the Hengyang Palace, but they probably live in seclusion in Wuling, so it's not easy to find them. Remember, you have to find them one by one, no matter whether it's on the mountains, in the villages or in the towns. You can't find the real master. If you can’t find your family, you can even find someone from your apprentice clan—such a powerful person should have some traces in the local area! By the way, I’m afraid these people are not young, and they should be local surnames Yuan and Qian. -"

Speaking of this, for some reason, King Qi's face changed slightly, and he lost his blood color, as if he remembered something extremely terrible.He was silent for a moment, and finally managed to utter a few words:

"—and, there is also a famous person with the surname Yu He—surnamed Deng. You, you have to check carefully..."
