320 Northern Song Dynasty Steelmaking(1/2)

Since the day when the counterattack began, the results in Dormitory No. 23 have been getting better and better, which has become a virtuous cycle. The ranking has climbed all the way up. By the third week of the camp, it had climbed from the original mid-range position to the top of the entire group.

The first position was reached.

After all, there are not only Yang Bangyi but also Wang Gui in this dormitory. They are both world-famous figures in the future. It is impossible for them to be accommodated in the small recruit training.

But obviously, not every group dormitory is as awesome as dormitory No. 23. The cruel elimination system has started to show up for eliminations half a month after entering the camp. Once eliminated, no one in the entire team of eight will be left behind.

Think about it, most of them had to eat without finishing a meal. In order to make some money, they had to take off a man's face and stuff it into his butthole... But in Ying Tianjun for more than half a month, everyone has eaten so much.

It tastes good. Although the training is hard, there is no discrimination or other punishments. It is just points on the wall of honor. The other instructors, Marquis Yu and even the commander, are all smiling and approachable when chatting with them.

.

This not only makes them feel fed and clothed, but more importantly, makes them feel respected and valued!

This kind of feeling is addictive, especially for those who have never been respected by others and have never found their own value in life. This kind of feeling is more than just an addiction. It should be like dying and not wanting to let go.

They have also worked hard like Dormitory 23, and they have also learned to help each other like the typical people in Dormitory 23. The people in each dormitory have already formed an indissoluble bond, but it is a pity that their abilities are limited and the intensity of training

It is constantly increasing. Even the first place like Dormitory No. 23 only has a total score of more than 80 points. What about them?

Many people cried bitterly when they were eliminated. They hugged the plaque they took off the wall of honor, knelt in the square and cried heartbrokenly. They just refused to leave, which made everyone moved.

Fortunately, Lin Chong gave them another way.

All those who have been eliminated from the training camp will definitely have no chance of rejoining the regular army of Ying Tian Army. How can the commander break his promise? Even if they have been trained decently now, it would be a pity to 'throw' them away... But Ying should

The Tianjin Army's logistics department still needs people, especially the blacksmith department.

As the saying goes, there are three hardships in life: punting, forging iron, and grinding tofu. Under normal circumstances, no one is willing to do it. But now for these eliminated people, as long as they can stay in the Yingtian Army, they will always be happy.

A good thing, even if it is blacksmithing, I accept it! How hard can it be? Can it be harder than our previous training?

Moreover, Commander Lin has made it clear that no matter whether it is a blacksmith or other odd jobs, as long as you persist, you will become a reserve force of the Yingtian Army. The treatment will not be much worse than that of the regular army, and several military trainings will be organized every year to maintain its military strength.

With their quality, if there is a war, they will be able to line up on the battlefield!

Commander Lin’s original words were this: The people from our Yingtian Army, even if they are just sweeping the floor, can beat ten fucking golden men!

This slogan was so loud that a group of people who were eliminated made their blood boil with excitement, and they rushed into the logistics department like chicken blood.

And as more and more people were assigned to blacksmithing after being eliminated, people began to discover some special features.

Those who were also eliminated, but sent to the logistics blacksmith shop, were almost all the best talents in each group, while those behind the crane were often assigned to chores such as chores, cleaning, and transportation.

This... to say that there is nothing wrong with it, everyone doesn't believe it. There is no guarantee that the blacksmiths in this blacksmith shop will be the most likely to be the first to return to the regular army in the future.

Therefore, striving to enter the logistics blacksmith shop after being eliminated has become the first choice for those eliminated students.

This blacksmith shop is of course special.

Blacksmithing requires physical strength, and those guys who were eliminated are all excellent people who can complete physical training. The endless energy can be spent here.

The second is based on the principle of confidentiality... Although the Song Dynasty was criticized as weak in history, its smelting industry was actually quite developed. At its peak, steel production reached an annual output of 1.25 million tons. Regardless of this figure,

Compared with today's modern smelting industry, it seems a bit cold

Sour, but this was the Song Dynasty... If you make a vertical comparison, for example, a few hundred years later, when the Industrial Revolution began in Britain in 1788, its annual steel output was only 60,000 tons, you can understand that the Song Dynasty

What is the concept of 1.25 million tons?

There were a lot of blacksmith shops in this era. If you knew this skill, you would never have to worry about finding food wherever you go.

Of course, what Lin Shuhang is guarding against here is not the stolen masters, but the outflow of talents after the masters have been taught the skills. These eliminated young people have already begun to have feelings for the Heavenly Army, and they are young and powerful, and they have already been prepared in their hearts.

I have begun to have a sense of collective honor, and there is a high probability that I will not leave the church easily, so it is perfect to use it here.

As for stealing lessons, that doesn't exist...the real technology here is not in the people, but in the tools!

He made two epoch-making innovations for this blacksmith shop.

The first is to upgrade the furnace. Through the direct mail package purchased in the simulator Cause and Effect Mall, I bought a three-ton zirconia product furnace. It also came with a matching blower, which can steadily increase the furnace temperature by two

into about.

In modern terms, zirconia is just a chemical element product in the atomic energy industry. It is characterized by high temperature resistance, can withstand temperatures exceeding 2,500 degrees, and conducts heat very quickly. It is used in modern factories to manufacture high-temperature furnaces.

The most common material is ordinary, but in the Northern Song Dynasty, when iron kilns were still used to burn iron, something like this was simply unparalleled!

Can you believe that it can withstand high temperatures of 2,500 degrees? In this era, making pig iron at 1,200 degrees is already extremely good.

The second is to buy a set of equipment specifically for burning coke on the simulator, that is, anthracite.

The smelting industry in ancient times used charcoal at the beginning, and coal in the Northern Song Dynasty. However, these two things are not suitable for steelmaking. Not to mention that the temperature is difficult to reach, and there are various impurities in the coal.

, will also have a great impact on the quality of steelmaking.

After the coal is burned into coke through a series of processes in a vacuum environment, the maximum temperature can reach between 1700 and 1900 degrees through a blower. If oxygen is burned and electricity is burned, it can even reach 2300 degrees.

Lin Shuhang didn't think much about electricity and oxygen. For the steel he wanted to refine, the high-temperature coke temperature of 1700 to 1900 was enough.

Yes, he wants to make the world's first furnace of steel!

Since he is training elite soldiers, of course he must be equipped with the best weapons. This melting pot is bought and delivered in the simulator, and it is ready-made. In the previous half month of training, he had already brought several professional weapons with him.

The smelting masters are studying this thing through the instructions. By the time new recruits are eliminated and selected, several smelting masters have become proficient in operating them. Then one person will lead another, and the furnace is already in non-stop production, making guns, shields and other items.

Mass production has already begun, but it's just kept secret...

The people in the court have been making trouble again recently. Although Lin Shuhang has been guarding the Yingtian Army camp recently, he and the prince are always breathing. Naturally, he is well aware of this. Of course, secret weapons such as steel-making are

We can't reveal it easily. Anyway, we'll figure it out when the time comes...

The completely closed management made the court and even the entire city of Bianjing ignorant of what was going on in the training camp. But this man, the more he didn’t know something, the more he wanted to know about it. Both inside and outside the court were full of people.

There are all kinds of curiosities and speculations within the Ying Tian Army, and people who go everywhere to ask for information, and people who can't find out the information, just take it for granted and gossip, and the internal description of the Ying Tian Army is simply bizarre.

At the court, the prince's attitude in front of the officials finally began to change, and he began to question the training of the heavenly army. However, the more the prince questioned, the more the officials praised him.

Geng Nanzhong understood human nature very well. It was precisely because of their constant flattery that the prince became confused. People always have a rebellious mentality. The more you brag about someone in front of him, the harder it will be for him to truly believe it.

the other party.

This seems quite reasonable and makes Geng Nazhong, Tang Ke, Wu Min and others secretly pleased with themselves.

If you want to destroy a person who is extremely favored by the master, the best way is obviously not to attack him, but to constantly praise him. The higher you praise him, the faster and harder he will fall.

.

No love can be stronger than gold, or the harmonious sound of harp and harp, nothing can escape the true fragrance law of human nature.

This Ying Tianjun will finally be able to escape. Even if there is no chance, everyone can help him create it. And it will not be just a simple thing like a military parade, it must be a big scene for him!

Don't say that Lin Chong was originally just a trainer who taught the Imperial Army boxing skills, spears and sticks. Even if he was really the reincarnation of Zhuge Wuhou, what else could he be able to teach in a month or two? The prince would be severely humiliated by that time.

Face, Lin Chong now knows what true flattery means!

Of course, Ying Tianjun has only been training for about half a month now, so he is looking for trouble at this time. Even if he fails, he can argue that the training time was too short.

What's more, the prince is still suspicious of Ying Tianjun, and has not gone to the point of shaking the status of Ying Tianjun or Lin Chong. This situation is obviously not enough, and he needs to work harder to do it in two days.

They jointly submitted a letter saying that Commander Lin Chonglin had meritorious service in forming the Ying Tian Army and that he should be reinstated as Taiwei. When the time comes, the ministers will argue about it, make decisions, make the prince worry, and then go through the cumbersome process.

, it will take almost half a month.

And once this is done, it will be Lin Chong's death!

Sure enough, on April 12th, it was the 20th day since Lin Shuhang's recruit training camp was opened. Geng Nanzhong, Wu Min, and Tang Ke contacted more than ten important officials in the court and jointly wrote a letter to Prince Zhao Heng, saying that they should respond to the Tianjun.

The commander, Lin Chong, single-handedly disbanded the old army and formed a new one. In these days, he spent all his efforts to train the new recruits.

As for Ying Tianjun, now that the new army has been successfully trained, it can be said that he has achieved great results through hard work. Even if he fails to do so, it can offset his previous fault of not paying attention to the army in front of the palace. Please ask His Royal Highness Prince Zhao Heng to replace Lin Chongguan

Reinstate the post, regain the position of Taiwei, and take charge of the Privy Council. The country's military is the top priority. Only by leaving it in the hands of Taiwei Lin can people feel at ease.

He had just been dismissed from the position of Taiwei for a month. He wanted to be reinstated, but the prince refused. So Geng Nanzhong wrote three times. His intention to maintain trust in Lin Chong made even outsiders give him a thumbs up.

Praise, praise, of course it was Lin Chong who ruined his son's future, but he could repay evil with kindness like this, he was indeed a wise minister of the Song Dynasty.

The three memorials were written with real words. The prince was secretly amused and sighed in his heart.

He understood the thoughts of the ministers very well. Lin Taibao had already taught him the art of flattery and killing when he was dealing with the affairs of the front army. He deliberately pretended to question Ying Tianjun's attitude, but he just wanted to see the ministers.

It’s just that there are some people who hold a grudge against Lin Taibao. No, every one of the joint names on these memorials will be gone when this matter is over.

However, Geng Nanzhong's performance made him a little disappointed. After all, they had an old relationship. If possible, he would prefer Geng Nazhong to become Lin Chong's helper rather than his enemy. It's a pity...

Of course, the position of Taiwei belongs to Lin Chong, but it is still too early to appoint him. Once the position of Taiwei is finalized, it will inevitably be the time for Geng Nanzhong and others to cause trouble for Ying Tianjun. Although Zhao Heng is very interested in Lin Chong

I have begun to have an almost blind confidence, but after all, the training of Yingtian Army has not been more than a month... Wait, I just have to think of something to say about resigning to face the ministers.

There was a commotion in the court, and when Zhao Heng was worried about what excuse he should find, the excuse for relief came to his door automatically.

"Urgent! It's really urgent to go eight hundred miles away!"

Zhending was another northern barrier of the Song Dynasty outside Daming Mansion, and it was also the front line connecting the two realms of Liao and Jin.

After Han Shizhong, Zongze and others were asked to collect Tong Guan's remnant army, the 200,000 troops they collected retreated thirty miles and were stationed in Zhending. Now that Zhending is urgent, could it be the Liao people?

Were they defeated? Or maybe the Jin people went south, causing Zhending to fall?

This time, not only Zhao Heng, but also Geng Nanzhong and others who had been trying their best to persuade the prince just now were instantly attracted.

The post officer who sent the message was running so fast that he almost collapsed. He fell off his horse just as he arrived outside the Zichen Palace. A messenger immediately stepped forward to catch him, and then delivered the urgent letter to Zhao Heng.
To be continued...
