Although Chen Xi often jokes that Liu Ba is a cheater and is ready to pick up the benefits of Liu Ba after Liu Ba collapses, in fact, Liu Ba is a wise man with a certain degree in history. This guy doesn't agree with Chen Xi's economic thinking in fact - it gives too much to the people.

In Liu Ba's opinion, there is no need to give so much to the people. In Liu Ba's opinion, it is unnecessary to promote Mien and fight against Mie. The people are in a state of being able to survive, and then all the excess capital is integrated in the hands of the country. The most meaningful thing is to achieve the greatest effect.

Chen Xi gave too much, so much that if the money was taken back to the country, the country would develop faster as a whole. As for the future that Chen Xi mentioned, in Liu Ba's opinion, it would be meaningful to grasp the present first and then talk about the future. Which one is more important, at least you can score a point.

Therefore, in Liu Ba's eyes, Chen Xi's ability to achieve this level can only be said to be amazing because Chen Xi's own power is amazing, not that this system has expanded to its limit.

This is also why Liu Ba said that Chen Xi is much better than him, and he is also engaged in economic construction according to his own ideas. Liu Ba has no choice. He does not have the ability of Chen Xi. Isn’t it a terrible pace to develop according to Chen Xi’s path?

So Liu Ba chose to focus on development, so as long as it is something really important, Liu Ba will not rely on his own cognition to improve the so-called efficiency. Therefore, Liu Ba really has nothing to do with the smelting department.

Things like warriors and armor affect national strength. Liu Ba knew that he was not as good as Chen Xi, so he naturally would not verify his abilities in these aspects. If he made a mistake, he would not die.

Therefore, what Chen Xi stipulated and what Liu Ba implemented was. At least in terms of process, development direction, and management system, Liu Ba basically has not changed. Alloy preparation is the future direction, and research requires sacrificing certain production efficiency.

However, in light of the current war situation, which still has overall strategic advantages, Liu Ba can accept this sacrifice of the current development model.

Those who can sit in this position are all talents in all of them. What they pay attention to in troubled times is that those who are capable live in it, and those who are virtuous are that those who are talented in prosperous times are that those who are virtuous live in it.

The most important thing about the collapse of prosperous times to chaotic times is not to steal high positions. Because of selfishness, people who are unvirtuous and incompetent will be promoted, and those who are capable cannot be extended. As time accumulates, the total outbreak of contradictions will eventually collapse in prosperity, and the dynasty cycle law begins to operate again.

At this time, the guys who can get promoted are all strong enough, not only the other guys who were killed off by the supervision department formed by Tingwei Man Chong, if you really want to say that they have enough abilities, they can only say that those people have made other problems, not that they have insufficient abilities.

Liu Ba attaches great importance to the Bingzhou Smelting Department. Even if possible, Liu Ba wants to copy a Bingzhou Smelting Department under Cao Cao's rule, because Liu Ba, who has witnessed the end of pulling up a prosperous city from scratch, understands that this system may be more important than the Land of Longxing.

However, some things cannot be solved by pieced together, and Liu Ba can only watch and drool, but cannot copy them in full.

Therefore, from management, planning, and future development, Liu Ba was doing the best possible. At least Chen Xi could not find flaws when he saw it. In other words, the problem Chen Xi was worried about was not a problem. It can only be said that Liu Ba really put all his energy into this aspect at the beginning.

This is the most satisfactory result of Chen Xi, because to this extent, it is equivalent to the result that a top wise man can do his best to achieve. Even if there is a problem, it is not a problem with the manager's mentality, but it is beyond the scope of the manager's ability.

Just like now, according to Liu Ba's regulations at that time, Pu Yuan took over the secret recipe he had accumulated during casting and smelting. After Chen Xi looked at it, the blood vessels on his forehead became thicker.

"Well, can I ask, is this little bit?" Chen Xi pointed to the contents of the record book and asked Pu Yuan with a stiff smile.

"It's probably so much." Pu Yuan recalled, then gestured with his hands. To be honest, Pu Yuan couldn't remember what the earliest recipe was. After thinking hard, he finally recalled that it seemed like this happened.

Chen Xi covered her forehead and looked at Pu Yuan with her face twitching. This time she didn't say anything. She looked at Pu Yuan with a smile, "Master Pu, I'll ask, what is their ratio to how much, and this one, grind the gem into fine powder and add it to the furnace. What kind of gem is it, and how much is it?"

Chen Xi was really a little disappointed when he looked at these records. If it weren't for the finished product, Chen Xi would like to scold people now. Is this called experimental preparation records? Do you know if I want to hit people? You made such a thick stack of records, but the result was all this kind of thing. How should I use it?

Chen Xi’s purpose of doing this is to make it technical reserves so that people can understand it, but your recording method can probably only be used as verification directions.

"I have gems here. I have been studying this recently. I think this is a promising development direction." Pu Yuan may have felt Chen Xi's faint anger and quickly spoke, even taking out a few shiny gems from the pocket beside him.

As for the previous matches, Pu Yuan had almost forgotten the early days. Anyway, the swordsman's habit is based on the feel and experience. When I cast it, when I add it to it, my feel is enough, and the rest depends on God.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the gems Pu Yuan took out. They were not too big and the quality was OK. However, after glanced at Liu Tong and the other four beside him, he knew that gems of this level were not attractive to those four guys.

Chen Xi stared at the gem in Pu Yuan's hand for a long time, but he realized that he was aware of what it was. It was indeed a gem, but if Chen Xi remembered correctly this thing, it should be called peridot.

The problem is that peridine has nothing to do with alloys. OK, there is cobalt in peridine.

When Chen Xi thought of this, he barely remembered that when this thing was added to the steel, he could also get a very good alloy when the ratio was appropriate.

But then Chen Xi realized that according to Pu Yuan's ratio, just a little cobalt would not produce the intensity he recorded at all.

"Are you sure it's this kind of gem?" Chen Xi scratched his head. What cobalt alloy really wants to say is indeed very excellent. It is much better than Chen Xi's current local steel, but the cobalt element in peridot is not enough to play. If you really want to say it, it may contain more cobalt than cobalt.

"Usually I crush this kind of gem with this." Pu Yuan looked for the mineral foundation and put it together and said.

Chen Xi scratched his head, what the hell is this? Is it a companion ore? The companion ore of peridot? What does it contain? It feels like iron ore.

"What kind of ore is this?" This time it really exceeded Chen Xi's ability. "Is there any finished product extracted?"

"It can't be refined. It feels like iron, but it's much stronger than iron. I usually throw it into the furnace where I am as an additive." Pu Yuan said awkwardly. Although he didn't know what this thing was, adding it can increase the strength, so Pu Yuan added it. "But when throwing this thing into it with these gems, the things that come out are very strong."

"Where did this thing come from?" Chen Xi had a headache. He didn't have the ability to distinguish ore, and he couldn't determine what it was. It felt like an iron ore, but this thing was too flashy and the iron ore could not grow like this.

However, the effect of iron-absorbing stone proves that this thing must be a kind of iron ore.

"It's right there on the Hexi Corridor." Pu Yuan said naturally, "Someone pulled a boat over there as a basin, and there were some gems inside. I felt that this thing could make good things, so I tried it, and the result was pretty good."

Pu Yuan's answer asked Chen Xi to hold his forehead. This was really a thing full of all kinds of mystery, but why are you familiar with it under the north?

"I remembered it." After hearing this, Chen Xi thought for a while, he finally realized what this thing was. This is chromite, which is a truly anti-speech thing. The accompanying mineral of peridot is used as additives and thrown into the steel. The strength of the steel produced will be greatly improved.

To be honest, Chen Xi was able to fish out this alloy from his brain, thanks to Xiangli, who made swords for Daqin, would be chrome-plated. I won’t say how powerful this technology is, but so far, Xiangli has produced antimony alloys, not chrome alloys.

The reason is very simple. Xiangli can't find the ore sand used by his ancestors, so he changed to an alloy method that can be realized. Anyway, antimony alloy is also very useful.

Xiangli knew that when his ancestors used the chrome plating, they used the mines from the Hexi Corridor, which was the mines from Gansu in later generations. But I don’t know where they were located. In addition, I offended people hundreds of years ago and didn’t even bring out the samples, so I couldn’t find them.

Chen Xi knew that Xiangli wanted chrome ore, but Chen Xi didn't know what she looked like, and she couldn't find it. In fact, Xiangli herself couldn't find it.

So this matter is over, so everyone won’t mention it because it can’t be found. Antimony alloy and manganese alloy are now extremely advantageous and there is no need to upgrade higher things.

If it weren't for meeting Pu Yuan today, Chen Xi would have never thought that this was the so-called chromite.

However, Chen Xi then remembered that this thing was used more. Although Chen Xi also remembered that Xiangli might use lead chromium ore and this is chromium ore, it doesn't matter. The former is used to smelter bronze and attributes, and this is used to smelter steel to add attributes, which are all good things.
