Bai Qi turned around and left, it was boring.

Although Bai Qi also felt that others wanted to tell him that the qualifications between him and Han Xin were very different. Whether he was much taller than Han Xin or Han Xin was much taller than him, he would not believe it, but it would be boring to give it to him.

"Why are you still holding this in your arms? According to the experience of Huaiyin Marquis, it should be done." Chen Xi chased after him with some surprise and asked.

"It's not yet. The main reason is that the Marquis of Huaiyin doesn't want to fight anymore. He just put his head together and could eat anything. It doesn't seem that he wants to fight the rest. After all, it's inevitable that he will break even after breaking twice." Bai Qi explained with a little bit of a look at the future.

"But even so, it's not good to put his hands in your arms and bring them with you every day." Chen Xi asked with a little hesitation. This is too terrible.

"Now, this is the way to carry out the teaching tasks." Bai Qi took out the cracked hand, looked at Chen Xi, and took it back.

"How are the students of the Military Academy?" Chen Xi followed Bai Qi and asked.

"It's nothing to see, most of them can see the end at a glance." Bai Qi replied casually. As a lecturer at the Military Academy of the Han Dynasty, he was better than Vice Principal Huangfu Song and Zhu Ye, and he was just short of adding the title of honorary principal to him.

"Isn't that good?" Chen Xi was shocked. Under Bai Qi's guidance, only most people could see the end at a glance.

"The rest are all from the end of now." Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, realizing that Chen Xi had understood his words wrongly, and spoke with a dark face.

"This is very embarrassing." Chen Xi touched his cheek and said. He thought the remaining few people were the kind that could not be seen at first sight. He didn't expect that this was the answer. But if you think about it this way, it would be okay. At least there is room for development.

"You stuffed those people into the military academy, that's it." Bai Qi said with a sigh, "Even there is no such thing as Wang He who can be used as a deputy general."

"The problem is, you have to consider who the deputy general is." Chen Xi put a high hat on Bai Qi and said with a smile.

"That's it, the deputy general cannot explain the problem." Bai Qi thought for a while and said, "But to be honest, he is better than Lian Po in the field."

Chen Xi was silent for a while, not knowing how to answer this. He always felt that when Bai Qi recalled the past, he always felt like he was walking by others, but it was all true.

"Is there anything worth cultivating among the younger generation?" Chen Xi sighed and changed the subject. He said the same thing. Even if the command position of the large legion on the front line is a carrot and a pit, Chen Xi must ensure that the command of the large legion in the Han Dynasty has increased slowly.

It is guaranteed that even if a certain person or even a few persons capsize, they can quickly continue to command the new army.

"I suggest you train your disciples, or train Zhuge Kongming." Bai Qi thought for a while and said, "Although there are some other plastic talents, these two people are the most qualified."

"Uh, forget it, Kong Ming, he wants to take over my class. I have arranged my disciple. I have prepared the direction for promotion for him." Chen Xi waved his hand and denied Bai Qi's thoughts, "Where is a smaller guy?"

"Deng Ai, this guy has the value of training. In fact, Odenatus who ran away has the most value of training. Unfortunately, he has returned to Rome." Bai Qi said with a sigh. He was really optimistic about the bastard Odenatus, but unfortunately he was not his own.

"Oh, it seems that these are the only people. I know almost everything. OK." Chen Xi did not hear other unknown people from Bai Qi's mouth, and expressed his understanding.

"At that time, maybe you still need to go and see the students." Chen Xi retreated a little and said to Ma Xinde. Compared to Bai Qi's rough division method, Chen Xi thought that it would be better to let Ma Xinde see if you have time. People are very important.

Liu Tong's car frame left Weiyang Palace and turned right to Huayang Street, and then stopped at the door of Huayang Smelting Department. Yes, the blast furnace built by Stina in the inner courtyard of Yuan's family has not been blown up yet. Although the thing is very twisted, it has been running smoothly until now.

Even when Zhuge Liang used his special spiritual talent to inspect it at the beginning of this year, he determined that the steel furnace would have a lifespan of at least two years, which made Li You very satisfied.

When I first crushed my own house and then crushed the city wall. If it was blown up quickly, it would be a pity not to mention whether it would be a loss or not. But it has not been used yet, and it can even be used for two years. Li You can be confident that this steel furnace is worthy of his shameless operation back then.

"Please come in, please come in, this is the Huayang Smelting Department, the only Smelting Department in Chang'an City." Chen Xi made an invitation to Ma Xinde and Langalajan. The two nodded slightly and walked into the smelting department.

Liu Tong got off the frame and was wearing a cloak at this time, but a capable embroidered robe. Maybe he had visited these places more often. Liu Tong also realized that wearing more capable places in these places will only benefit both the craftsmen and himself.

"Look at Stena." Liu Tong habitually spoke to Si Niang beside him when he climbed the steps.

Si Niang pursed her mouth and finally didn't say anything. She started building it with great enthusiasm since Steina successfully repaired the steel furnace. After working hard for a whole year, Si Niang realized that she really couldn't repair this thing well, and she always fryed it, either here or there!

As one of the largest independent smelting departments in the Han Dynasty, Huayang Smelting Department is not far from the Weiyang Palace itself. Liu Tong often comes to inspect and will habitually say this to Si Niang during every inspection. Of course, in Liu Tong's opinion, this is a spur to Si Niang.

When Si Niang heard this, she would try very hard when she turned around. After experiencing repeated defeats and repeated defeats, Si Niang finally realized the reality, that is, she could not repair such things at all, so she gave up as soon as possible, so she gave up.

After that, no matter what Liu Tong said, Si Niang looked like a rotten salted fish.

Under the leadership of the gatekeeper craftsmen, Chen Xi and his party were able to enter the real core area of ​​the Huayang Smelting Department. It is said that the guards here are not only guards, but also a rotating craftsman, because people often come to pay attention to, study and study the smelting department.

In order to prevent this group of people from disrupting the rhythm of craftsmen who are smelting in the core area while admiring, researching, and studying, a rotating craftsman must explain it to avoid accidents.

For craftsmen of this kind of commentator nature, the big guys they have met are almost the same as those that Uncle Chen has seen. Therefore, when they saw Chen Xi and his group appear, they were not surprised at all, and just treated them as ordinary people.

Of course, there is one thing that is that this person did not recognize everyone's identities, but the Shaofu sent a notice to him that someone was visiting today and needed a professional to explain.

The rotating craftsmen took Masinde and others to watch and explain along the way. During this period, Masinde and Langalajan were somewhat moved when they saw the large number of collective work blacksmiths, but they were not shocked. After all, the Great Yuezhi had annexed Brahmins. No matter how disgusting the Brahmins were, they had completed social division of labor these days, so they had seen blacksmiths of this scale.

Until the rotating craftsmen brought Masinde and his group to the core area, and then watched the completely melted molten iron of the golden red naturally pour into the special mold that had been dug in the ground, the expressions of the two of them that had not changed at that moment finally had ups and downs.

The distance was prepared yesterday, so that Masinde could see the steel pouring out and enter a continuous trough dug on the ground to form cast steel plates of 30 cm x 20 cm x 4 cm.

At the beginning, there was no such step. Although Chen Xi could build this thing, Chen Xi really did not consider what to do after the molten steel came out, which led to new problems in the later forging.

Although for the current situation of the Han Dynasty, as long as there is steel, it will not be a loss for it, the efficiency is indeed too low.

After Chen Xi completed the blast furnace and the trial operation was completed, the successor craftsman built this kind of thing at the location where the molten steel was released, and poured out pieces of cast steel plates.

Of course, such steel plates are not finished products. When the golden red fades to dark red, blacksmiths quickly clamp the poured steel plates from the soil trough with large tongs, and then they go to the stove in the forging room while they are hot and start pounding and forging.

During the repeated pounding and forging while it is hot, the cast steel is gradually converted into forged steel, so that strength, toughness, etc. can be further improved.

But to be honest, Huayang Smelting Department is mainly limited by the environment, and can only use human forging here. Xiangli has accumulated a lot of materials and finally upgraded the hydraulic forging workshop on the Yellow River this year, completely turning it into a steel wheel to roll. After the steel is poured down, the large steel wheel will fall down and roll, and the strength will be in place at one time.

When Chen Xi saw this design, he was silent and asked where the technology came from. Xiangli said that this was just a matter of adding gears. Unfortunately, the power of the power machine was not enough.

Simply put, after adding the power machine, this thing is almost close to the simple form of steel directly forged steel in later generations. However, from a technical perspective, this thing is indeed quite ancient technology, but it is really easy to use. It only needs to be cycled for one round, relying on the temperature of the steel, walk around and directly forged into large steel plates.

It has to be said that the efficiency brought by technological innovation is far greater than the efficiency of the casting of more than 200 skilled blacksmiths in Huayang Smelting Department. What’s more important is that it really saves manpower, but unfortunately it cannot be used in winter.

However, even the technology that Chen Xi thought was quite backward was extremely terrifying in the eyes of Ma Xinde and others.

"This stove is probably not capable of producing one-quarter of the steel in Kushan in a year." Masind asked Langarajan with a expressionless face.

"I suspect it will only be more, not less." Langarajan answered after a moment of silence. He now has a clear understanding of the steel output of 70,000 tons. The annual steel output of the Han Dynasty may be higher than that of 70,000 tons, because just such a furnace is estimated to be around 4,000 tons.

After all, they have experienced wars and have their own understanding of the quantity, scale and weight of steel. According to the furnace being opened every day, the Huayang Smelting Department alone is about 4,000 tons a year, and it may even be more. Ma Xinde does not think that the Han Dynasty only has a few furnaces of this size.

"I need more talents to build a local blast furnace. Seventy thousand tons are still too few for our Han Dynasty. We estimate that to truly meet the needs of the people, the annual output needs to reach 300,000 tons before it can be initially achieved." Chen Xi looked at Ma Xinde after the blacksmiths' big pliers clamped all the cast steel plates away and the entire workshop was filled with thumping sounds.

During the peak period of the Han Dynasty, the steel output was around 15,000 tons, but when Chen Xi took over the Han Dynasty, the steel output was actually only at three to four thousand tons.

Does it sound quite small? But the steel in the Han Dynasty is all in the hands of the country. In fact, the steel collected by the Tang Dynasty government is only half of this level. Most of the time, the steel in the country's hand is similar to this data.

Of course, the real steel output of the two dynasties above was not low, but the big one was not in the hands of the country.

So why are strong Han and strong Han? When the country was destroyed, the steel output that the government could obtain was the same as the steel output at the hands of most dynasties at the peak of the government, and the combat effectiveness was really guaranteed.

However, Chen Xi did not continue the official system of the Han Dynasty and relaxed steel smelting to a certain extent, but the big head was still in his hands to ensure that the steel output that the Han government could use increased year by year until the seventh year of Yuanfeng reached 70,000 tons.

Chen Xi estimated that the Han Dynasty should be 75,000 tons or even 80,000 tons as some of the military equipment in Central Asia were obviously not produced by the Han Dynasty, but it was continuous! But this is not important, just rotten meat in the pot, but Chen Xi still counted 70,000 tons. He only counted the steel that the country could use and did not want to buy it among the people.

Then, through preliminary statistics from all aspects, Chen Xi estimated that the basic steel production level reached 300,000 tons per year to reach the initial meeting of demand. How to say this scale? Japan, a garbage industry country, achieved this output during World War I.

However, the outrageous thing is that Chen Xi has actually realized that if he is willing to sacrifice certain industries and continues to invest in steel smelting, 300,000 tons can really be piled up. Just like China started, it took the whole nation to make steel and quickly piled up the steel output to 10 million tons.

Although many people complain that this is all garbage steel, in the second century, as long as you bring some steel, it will be the top-notch product.

It’s just that Chen Xi is unwilling to sacrifice industrial layout, nor is he willing to invest more manpower in steel smelting, and even feels that there are too many people invested now, which leads to the growth rate being unable to rise.
