Chapter 6686 Chang'an
How to say something like technology? People who use it don’t think it has much technical content. People who do it don’t know how many generations they have buried in the pit to truly solve the problem.
The blast furnace looks simple, but in fact it has all the technical content. What’s worse is that in addition to the technical content carried by the blast furnace itself, blast furnace smelting steel itself is also a thing that requires technology.
Let’s just say that, if the three-phase diagram of non-shui and the phase diagram of iron-carbon alloy are things that you must remember when you get started with materials. When Chen Xi looked through it, he wrote it down the way. It would be a hell that the steel in the Han Dynasty must be at its current level.
It can be said that the phase diagram of iron-carbon alloy has given the Han Dynasty a guarantee. Without this phase diagram, the mass of steel produced by the Han Dynasty using blast furnaces may not exceed that of the Uzi steel obtained directly from the Kushan area by minerals.
In fact, even though Chen Xi is clear about the phase diagram of iron-carbon alloy, it is actually difficult to accurately constant temperature, time, and pressure when steel mills are allowed to make blast furnace steelmaking, because the accuracy of this thing requires one furnace of molten steel to be verified.
It took 400 years for major steel mills in the world to accurately sort out the indicators of the iron-carbon phase diagram. In the past four hundred years, in order to determine this thing, hundreds of billions of furnaces were refined to get the correct result. Considering that Chen Xi did not have so much time to do this, Chen Xi’s steelmaking method for steel mills was to find a master, and according to the phase diagram of the iron-carbon alloy, he estimated a range and then made it.
Although the actual strength of steel produced in this way is not as high as the 21st century, at least the level in the 20th century is still available.
Of course, the state-owned steel mill in Zhongyuan led a team to build blast furnaces in Chen Xi, who specially found professionals, namely some top swordsman who could distinguish the blast furnace temperature by color and the temperature difference would not exceed ten degrees, namely Pu Yuan and others, spent more than half a month to let this group of people judge when the heat will rise and cool down to achieve the molten steel needed by Chen Xi.
There is no way, Chen Xi can't figure out the thermometer, especially this kind of thing with a limit of 1,500 degrees, and can only rely on the master. However, considering that in the future, the master often judges the flame color of the light, and the accuracy is quite high, Chen Xi will not struggle. Anyway, humans are really wonderful.
Of course, there is a saying that because of the concept of temperature, Chen Xi could not popularize Pu Yuan and the group of people, and could not explain to Pu Yuan and others what it means to understand what it means to 1,500 degrees and 730 degrees. This can only be judged by feelings.
This is also the reason why Chen Xi spent a lot of time in the steel mill after he created the steel furnace in the early days. To put it bluntly, it is not that the problem of the final product of the iron-carbon alloy must be solved by using blast furnace steelmaking. If it is simply melted and then cast, the quality of the final product is sometimes unlucky, and even the steel of the same era cannot keep up.
After all, the technical content here is not a joke, so Chen Xi took Pu Yuan and his group of people to burn the steel furnace at the beginning, what flame color it will burn, how long it will last, how long it will cool down, how long it will burn, how long it will heat up, and how long it will last, set the rules.
This rule is not very accurate. After all, Chen Xi does not have a thermometer and does not have an accurate measurement method. However, Chen Xi burns dozens of furnaces to find the best result, and then burns it according to this. This is also the reason why state-owned steel mills adjust the smelting methods every year, and it is also the reason why the quality of steel in the Han Dynasty is getting better and better.
To put it bluntly, after having the awareness of metallographic, the two special smelting departments, Bingzhou Smelting Department and Yellow River Smelting Department, will constantly try new products that can be smelted under new temperatures, materials and pressures without caring about output.
However, in the smelting of alloys, only the introductory thing of iron-carbon alloy is the simplest and clearest. In the future, as long as you add something to it, no one knows what products you will produce. This is also until now, the big guys in materials studies will still add some iron-carbon alloy and add some other things to it, and then start burning to see what the finished product is.
Up to now, the Han Dynasty has created high manganese steel and antimony alloys, which are considered reliable in later generations, but to be honest, I haven’t taken a few steps in the road to materials learning. The simplest thing is that the Han Dynasty has not yet been able to produce rebar, which is very popular in later generations.
Even though Chen Xi roughly knew the material ratio of rebar, the Han Dynasty really couldn't produce such things because it didn't have any guidance on the picture, so the Han Dynasty only asked him to explore it on his own. He guessed that he would try burning a few furnaces every day at any cost. If he was lucky, he would be able to burn it out if he had a blind cat who had met a dead mouse for thirty or forty years.
On the other hand, Rome and Kushan created the blast furnace and truly entered the track. The problem is that this track is not a place where miscellaneous fish can fool around, it can really kill people.
At least, Chen Xi is not optimistic about Kushan and Rome being able to produce a finished product that can be used in more than ten years. From a realistic perspective, most products should not be as good as Uzi Steel. This is not the product of Chen Xi carrying Uzi Steel, but the blast furnace burning, at this level.
Blast furnaces are indeed a scientific advancement, but the size of the crucible method and the steel stir-frying method is small, and many links are easy to control. Moreover, hundreds of years of technical accumulation are there, and the quality of the product is naturally stronger than that of the blast furnace.
Just like internal combustion engines and steam engines, how can an internal combustion engine that comes out be stronger than a steam engine? Even if, technically, the internal combustion engine has indeed improved, but technological progress does not mean that the product has been excellent from the beginning. This is the case with blast furnaces.
If it weren't for the Han Dynasty's pearls and jade, Rome and Kushan would have had differences due to the blast furnace and crucible method. After all, the quality of the steel produced by their blast furnaces was extremely problematic.
"In other words, there is something wrong with the steel produced by Rome and Kushan?" After hearing Chen Xi's explanation, Liu Bei actually did not understand what Chen Xi was talking about and what strange technology it was, but Liu Bei still understood Chen Xi's simple and crude conclusion.
"Well, for a long time, the quality of the steel produced by the blast furnace is still not as good as the final product produced by the crucible method and the stir-fry method. The advantage of the blast furnace is that it is large in quantity, but the quality is not as good as before before it reaches a certain level." Chen Xi nodded and said, "At least it is not as good as the Uzi steel currently used by Kushan."
"That's it." Liu Bei nodded thoughtfully. He originally thought that the molten steel produced in the steel furnace would be his own weapons and equipment after being forged.
"It's not that simple. Steel furnace smelting is a very important technology. And after installing a steel furnace, if you don't go to the assembly line and a large water conservancy forging factory, the advantages of the steel furnace are actually difficult to exert." Chen Xi sighed and said, "The result of rolling steel steel is the best in one step."
"Kurshan does not have this condition, so there is no need to worry." Chen Xi said comfortingly. The steel furnace would be exposed. Chen Xi had known this very early. After all, the other two companies are not blind to the technological progress he brought. Those who are easy to use will definitely keep up.
You should know that even the swan with a broken mouth was repaired by humans and they knew that they would take advantage of this invincible advantage and become a local dominant locally. As long as the intelligent life of human beings is not anti-intellectual, the progress brought by new things will naturally be found.
However, the combat effectiveness of the Han Dynasty was made by Chen Xi combined a lot of things. You can indeed bring some progress by copying a certain part, but you cannot understand the innovation of technology and social level in the inner world. Even if you obtain it, Chen Xi should beat it or beat it.
"Well, even garbage steel is still steel. Many young and strong men recruited by Kushan in Nangui were unable to match all weapons and equipment before. Now the steel mill produces molten steel. Even if the quality is not good, at least one steel gun can be distributed per person." Liu Bei frowned. He felt that this was not that simple. Even if Chen Xi's comfort was very reasonable, Liu Bei was still a little worried.
"Let me say something first, Xuande Gong, you are actually not thinking too much. Kushan is actually not short of steel for the distribution of equipment to Nangui young and strong. With the output of Kushan steel, there is no problem to fully meet the needs of the Kushan Legion." Chen Xi restrained his smile and spoke very seriously.
"Huh?" Liu Bei was shocked when he heard this. Can Kushan actually meet the steel needs of his own army? Then why can they always see Kushan soldiers using wooden weapons?
"This situation is actually similar to that of the Lingdi Dynasty for more than 20 years. The weapons and equipment of the Han Dynasty are actually very armed, but distribution issues and corruption and bribery have caused these weapons and equipment to not fall into the hands of those in need. In fact, the same is true for Kushan." Chen Xi sighed and said.
Just like the various foods grown by humans on the earth and the breeding of various livestock, which are enough to raise 20 billion people, but people still starve to death every year. As well as domestic real estate data in China, China has built new houses that are enough for 3 billion people to live in, but there are still a lot of young people who do not live in.
These problems are actually not problems with insufficient production, purebred distribution, and the very realistic distribution problems that existed in the 21st century, how could it not exist in the 3rd century? The problem will only be even bigger. The Han Dynasty was not exposed because of some links. Chen Xi was really strict in the management of it. Otherwise, the situation when India sent troops in the 21st century would not be impossible in the third century.
Of course, if Nan Gui, who did not regard it as a human being, what might have happened in Chen Xi's impression had actually happened a long time ago. After all, Nan Gui's distribution problem is something that cannot be mentioned at all. Even because of this outrageous distribution method, it has had an impact on Beigui.
You should know that the elite guards in Beigui in the early days all had a good face. It was not until Osven came to power that he had eliminated the serious problems that Kushan seemed much normal, but the same thing was said, Osven offended too many people because of this.
Urdu said at the time that he could not trust Kushan. Osven's answer was what he ate and what everyone ate. Then Osven achieved this result with a tough stubborn result. This is the key to the increase in Kushan's combat effectiveness. Otherwise, if you continue to let Nangui play with things and get the knot, Kushan will kill himself.
Thanks to Osven's final raising the will of the empire and directly certifying the truth. Otherwise, after Qunnu City, there would be no need for the Han Dynasty to do anything, and the Kushans would kill Osven. The reason why they didn't make Osven now is that the majority around Osven was the majority around Osven, and the small group wanted to kill Osven. Although the power that the small group could use was far greater than the majority united around Osven, just like when social stability was stable, the rules were greater than the strength.
"Is this how?" Liu Bei's expression seemed extremely complicated when he heard this, and he couldn't help but feel even more dissatisfied with Emperor Ling's actions.
"The Kushan actually solved the problem of weapon distribution to a certain extent. The steel they originally produced was actually enough for the Kushan army to use. The existence of Osven solved these problems to a large extent." Chen Xi said with a little emotion. Even he had to admit that the other party was indeed a hero. But in the hero of the Kushan Empire, as far as the current situation is concerned, it is impossible to die well.
Liu Bei nodded slowly when he heard this. He had his own understanding of the problem of steel furnaces and the problem of technology loss. For him, as long as Chen Xi could control this matter, he would not care much. After all, Chen Xi's internal affairs were much better than he thought.
"How is the matter of the great martial arts show now?" Liu Bei naturally changed the topic.
"It was just a rumor, and some veterans showed up and said that they had become powerful people with internal energy leaving the body, so some people have come to take the initiative in private, but generally they agree with this matter. Veterans agree with winning their own prizes by relying on their strength." Chen Xi explained with a smile.
There are always some veterans who can contact the elders under Liu Bei. After all, some guys even served as the escorts of the elders at the earliest times. For example, Guo Jia's escort Ruan Liangyu. When Guo Jia comes to secretly ask Guo Jia, he will not say anything, and it is not a secret incident.
But it’s useless to say it. Ruan Liangyu is likely to not get it. The limited amount of this medicine is produced is that on the one hand, Ruan Liangyu was injured in Kushan. Even if he was cured later, there was a blind spot in the battle.
Although Ruan Liangyu is still very sure of playing the fifth level smelting, the ones who get this thing must be ruthless. Ruan Liangyu was thinking about his situation and playing the sixth level smelting. With the attention of a group of people, he would be discovered in his own blind spots in just two games, so he was helpless.
Guo Jia has no good idea about this. If Ruan Liangyu can make it to the top 100, he really has a way, but according to Ruan Liangyu, he may be fucked at most two games. Guo Jia is also clawed. It is true that he is a veteran, but he was not the Zhengyuan alone. Chen Xi is not easy to do this.
"It is recommended that you study other competition plans. If you only compare combat effectiveness, talents with some special characteristics may miss this opportunity." Liu Bei said to Chen Xi as if he remembered something, "Martial power is indeed very important, but veterans are not only force, but in actual combat, they are actually quite at a disadvantage for archers. Unless the scope of the fight is expanded to such a large school field, the melee veterans will have too much advantage."
This is not a nonsense. There is also restraint between veterans and veterans. Although veterans who can reach the fifth and sixth level of melting have no shortcomings, this kind of lack of shortcomings is not for the same level. If it is really better than melee combat, the advantages of melee players like Jiang Guang and Jiang Xu will definitely be obvious.
"Who received the news? I came to your side to propose." Chen Xi said with a smile when he heard the words. It would be a big deal. Liu Bei didn't realize that this was the case before. This must be a suggestion given to him by someone when he was going to Bingzhou or playing there.
"It doesn't count. I think what Li Zhe said is very reasonable." Liu Bei said with a smile.
As for the same sentence, if Li Zhe is ready for his talent, he can restrain anyone, but if he follows the event he has prepared before, Li Zhe will definitely be done and proficient in everything. On the other hand, it means that everything is not working. Of course, it will be very smooth to fight a restrained opponent. But if you restrain yourself, you will not be given a head when facing another opponent you cannot restrain?
After all, Li Zhe has research on all his talents, which means that he will not study most talents too deeply, at least not as good as those who specialize in five or six talents.
So Li Zhe thought about whether he would participate in the archer competition, adjust his talent to the most suitable talent for archers to play, and then use it hard.
As a result, when the group of people from Bingzhou and Ermu were fooling around and met Liu Bei, they asked him about it. Then Liu Bei told Li Zhe that there were no bows and arrows in the martial arts performance at the moment, so that was the end!
"Then we have to study it again, but it makes sense. The archers are not suitable for participating in such a martial arts performance." Chen Xi did not refute when he heard this, but if he competed for bows and arrows, how to get the difficulty was a new question. The archers and arrow types actually have a lot of talent, and they are more powerful than power. If they are far away, they will be completely out of sight.
The problem is that the attack beyond the visual range is strong, but some archers fight within the visual range and deal explosive damage in a short period of time. For example, Yu Mang can now basically complete the twelve arrows with super powerful power in an instant, and directly rely on explosive output to explode the opponent.
"Learn for a study, you might as well divide it into a large category." Liu Bei suggested, "And the scale of the competition can be larger, and it can be continued in the future. Once a few years, it is like a military parade."
"That's fine." Chen Xi nodded, agreeing with Liu Bei's idea.
After eating and drinking in the restaurant for an hour, he was nonsense with Liu Bei and confirmed some things, Chen Xi drove back in the dark. At this time, all the lights in Chang'an were turned on. Although Li Yuan and Huang Yueying were scrolling around, they did a lot of things. At least the bright lights in Chang'an are indeed Li Yuan's masterpiece.
"Langli~" Chen Xi walked back with arrogant steps, bought some snacks along the way, and prepared to go back to tease his son, and then met his eldest cousin.
"Yeah, isn't this Zichuan?" Fan Qin could see that he was very happy. Seeing Chen Xi smiling, she said, "There was no other relatives in Chen Xi when they saw Chen Xi, there was a little awe in his eyes.
"Yeah, isn't this my cousin?" Chen Xi also smiled when he saw Fan Qin.
"I came out to wander around at night. How could this happen when I came to Chang'an? I didn't expect that after I came back from the south of Australia, Chang'an changed a lot. I just came out to make a fuss, you know mine." Fan Qin raised his eyebrows at Chen Xi and said. He was actually very arrogant. He used spiritual talent to join Cao Cao back then. That was for the family. Now he sacrificed for the family. It was time for him to enjoy it later, and he was very happy.
"It's good, there's no curfew. It's always like this at night, even all night long. Many people who have just arrived here are a little uncomfortable." Chen Xi said with a smile, pulling Fan Qin to find a familiar place to sit and talk nonsense. At night, after a round of one banquet, a second round of barbecue, a third round of barbecue, and a third round of musical opera, it's so pleasant.
"I've been here for three days, but I don't have anything to get used to. Can you still eat it? If you can eat it, give me some small barbecue. I have to support it when an acquaintance was used to be a supporter." Fan Qin said with a smile.
"Okay, let's go together if you don't charge money." Chen Xi is still optimistic about her cousin. On the one hand, distance creates beauty. On the other hand, Fan Qin really has no need for Chen Xi. From a certain perspective, the other party is already a free and free person who has completed his journey in life.
Even the Fan family could not drive Fan Qin. After all, the other party had made the greatest sacrifice for the Fan family more than ten years ago, and now as the head of the family, he has helped deal with a lot of miscellaneous things. The old man of the Fan family has no way to deal with Fan Qin.
If you don’t have it, just drive me away. I don’t want to do it anyway. There are so many people in the family, right? You can’t just use me alone, right? Is it okay to have some conscience?
This set of rhetoric is very useful. After all, the current situation is that the Fan family owes Fan Qin. Of course, Fan Qin just said that he can handle it easily, but his awareness of living for himself is very clear, so Chen Xi even envies the freedom and scattering.
"Uh, is this Yuan Highway's place?" Chen Xi realized after coming, he realized who opened it because Yuan Shu was going crazy on the stage.
"Yes, so I'll come and support you." Fan Qin said with a smile, "I'll get no drinks today, just drink them casually."
"Oh oh oh." Chen Xi had already remembered that Yuan Shu, Liu Zhang, and Zhen Yan had made wine. Well, the summer is almost over, and it was only done.
However, the venue was very hot. The wine that was not expensive had tricked many people in Chang'an. After drinking a few glasses of wine and eating a few skewers of meat, the red face began to blow up, and all kinds of noises and noises were everywhere. Fan Qin and Chen Xi sat in a corner and laughed. This is how prosperous it is.
