The heaven reveals it, and the way of heaven moves.

Bang!

Frightened by this shocking conclusion, the glass in Song Yingxing's hand fell to the ground, waking everyone up. They suddenly came to their senses and lowered their heads, recalling what they had just said.

"No wonder His Majesty fell in love with the reign name of Tianqi at a glance. It turned out to be Cangtian Qizhi."

This was their only thought at the moment. No one doubted the emperor's words. They couldn't figure out how this amazing knowledge came from. The emperor also grew up in the palace since he was a child and never went out. Those military techniques and systems

, and even the art of hundreds of craftsmanship, there is no way to explain the origin.

Now, they have finally come up with the best and most reasonable explanation from the emperor. It is a gift from heaven!

"The country is very fortunate, and the people are very fortunate. Your Majesty has received instructions from heaven and the laws of the movement of heaven. It is really the blessing of our Ming Dynasty and the blessing of our ancestors!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Poof, Song Yingxing knelt down and shouted. The others were stunned for a moment, then knelt down and shouted together, including Xu Guangqi, who had been fussy just now.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

The fierce shouts reverberated in the workshop, creating a rumbling echo, which was inexplicably a little more mysterious. Under such circumstances, their doubts that they had had disappeared immediately, and they all believed the emperor's words of heaven.

In this way, between kneeling and prostrating, this teaching has been settled, the teaching of heaven.

"Your Majesty received it from Heaven, so I naturally believe it," Xu Guangqi said slowly. In fact, he was still doubtful in his heart, but apart from this, he really couldn't explain where these technologies came from.

Xu Guangqi is well versed in both Chinese and Western studies. This is not to brag. There are not many things in this world that are beyond his understanding, including many craftsmen’s so-called ancestral techniques. However, everything the emperor came up with was beyond his comprehension. These techniques

There are no signs at all, and there is no connection with previous technologies. The insecurity comes out of thin air and has no basis.

Therefore, when the emperor said it was a gift from heaven, he naturally did not object. Judging from the previous situation, it was indeed very similar. Moreover, as a superior, sometimes you must maintain a sense of mystery. These inexplicable technical knowledge,

This is exactly in line with one point. As a great scholar, Xu Guangqi still understood this point of the emperor's mentality.

No, doesn't the reverential look in the workers' eyes in the distance illustrate this point? I believe that before tonight, God's teachings will spread throughout the factory, the capital, and even the world.

"This old fox, I still don't believe it." Looking at Xu Guangqi's tone and expression, Zhu Youxiao cursed in his heart, "But whether you believe it or not, as long as you don't object, just do it."

"Yes, dear, just follow this idea and rearrange the method. Didn't I say before that steel can be made by mixing wrought iron and pig iron? You have also succeeded in the experiment before. This time, the furnace is opened for smelting.

Steel, the reason why wrought iron is put in is probably inspired by this. Just follow this method later, add pig iron and wrought iron with coke." Zhu Youxiao changed the subject.

Just mention this statement by yourself. You don’t need to talk about it every day. Let it ferment on its own, which will have the best effect.

"This..." Hearing this question, Xu Guangqi, who looked like an old fox just now, blushed again, "Your Majesty, this..." He said calmly, "Wrought iron cannot be guaranteed to be perfect every time, and this is also the case.

It can only be found by encountering some good ores by chance."

"Accidental, how accidental?" Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but ask, wouldn't it be the same as before, it would be successful three times out of ten.

"This... From the beginning of the year to now, the furnace has been smelted dozens of times, and wrought iron has only been produced three times at the site." Xu Guangqi looked embarrassed, no longer as calm as before.

"What!" Zhu Youxiao's voice couldn't help but rise three times, "I see, that's it. I completely understand why you can practice some steel now that you have built an open-hearth furnace here."

He was surprised. He had been told before that mixing pig iron and wrought iron could produce steel, but except for the good news reported by Xu Guangqi at the beginning of the experiment, there was no news after that. Zhu Youxiao was quite concerned at first, but later

Because I was busy with work, I gradually forgot about it. I didn't expect that the root cause turned out to be this.

"You..." Zhu Youxiao pointed and was too angry to say anything.

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please calm down. I have some good news here." When Xu Guangqi saw the emperor's aura, he probably already hated himself, so he quickly took out his most important skill this time.

"Your Majesty, I have only had a lot of wrought iron in the past few times, which weighs tens of thousands of kilograms. These can be practiced a lot. If it is this kind of high-carbon steel, it can be connected even more." Xu Guangqi raised his right hand.

The steel is fast.

"The quantity of this steel is small. Although it cannot be used to forge swords and armors, it can be used to make knives and knives on machine tools. Lao Chen experimented and found that the knives made of these high-carbon steels can be used as drill bits.

Go in and out and drill a hole." Fearing that the emperor would be angry with him, Xu Guangqi spoke quickly about his new invention.

"Your Majesty, please come with me." As he spoke, he led the emperor to another factory building, which is where guns and cannons are cast. "Your Majesty, please see, this is the latest machine tool. This iron pipe is first processed with great force.

Beat it repeatedly to make it strong and wear-resistant, then use the tool made of high carbon steel to drill holes, and then install the flintlock mechanism. In this way, a musket is made, and it takes no more than ten days.

.”

"The performance of the barrel made in this way is very good. It is stronger than adding iron hoops after casting. It has more powder and a longer range. The effective range of such a gun can reach 80

Step." Xu Guangqi said in high spirits.

"How many? Eighty steps?" Zhu Youxiao exclaimed, with a look of disbelief on his face. Eighty steps, which is a distance of 120 meters! The effective range mentioned here is not the maximum range, but the breaking range.

The shooting range of armor. I had good news before, saying that the craftsmanship of muskets has improved, and the iron produced is of high quality and can be cast directly. Then an iron hoop can be added to make it stronger, and the shooting range has been increased by ten steps.

Unexpectedly, this process has not been adopted yet, so it has been updated here.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this is because I feel that it is unnecessary to forge for too long. If we increase the forging time, the range can be improved." Xu Guangqi's words were full of confidence.

He does have the capital, and this is a leap from casting to forging.
