Chen Xi remembered that before leaving, he invested another sum of money to let Nandou and Tong Yuan increase their development efforts. He didn't know what the situation was now.
But this thing has little hope. Nandou and Tong Yuan have been developing it for so many years, and the finished product is out. The problem now is actually simplification. Chen Xi’s requirements for the secret mirror have been reduced a lot - as long as he is a Qi practitioner.
If it can be used, it is considered a success.
The current secret magic mirror can generally be used by certain Qi practitioners, and this is really a bit of a headache.
"Come back." Chen Xi got off the carriage and headed straight to his home. After spending a long time outside, Chen Xi still felt that his home was the best. He had clothes to eat, food to eat, and it was much better than outside.
"Zichuan, please go home first. I will inform Wen Ru and the others to have dinner at my place tonight." Liu Bei looked at Chen Xi who was in a very good mood and greeted him with a smile.
"Okay." Chen Xi waved his hand. They did not come back on time. They were temporarily accelerated, so Li You and others could not send anyone to greet them. But by now, the Government Affairs Department should have known that they were back.
"Then I'll leave first." After Liu Bei nodded to Chen Xi and Yuan Shu, he took Jian Yong and left. As for the carriages of the eldest princess and others, they had completely disappeared by this time.
Since entering Chang'an City, Stina has become excited. At this time, the carriage should have reached the Wanxiang Palace. There is no way, this is the highest palace currently.
Stina was naturally very interested, and the prosperity of Chang'an made Stina clearly feel that her hometown was indeed a remote place.
There is no way, most of the time, the overlord of the Central Plains is called the Asian Overlord when things are miserable, and the loving father of the surrounding countries. When things are going well, it is called the beacon of world civilization. This is why every year after that, it is a country that achieves greatness.
's revival.
Because the social status in the future is not even as good as that in the past when he was not successful, he must first become a loving father around him. In his current state, he can only be called an eldest brother, not a father, so he still needs to continue to work hard to develop.
"Go home!" Chen Xi walked back with a somewhat excited tone, but Yuan Shu didn't care at all about Chen Xi's mentality at this time. He continued to follow Chen Xi, preparing to have a good talk with Chen Xi.
"It's a highway." Chen Xi saw that when he was about to knock on the door, Yuan Shu was still following him? His liver ached for some reason? Is this man missing something?
"Stop talking nonsense to me." Yuan Shu directly interrupted what Chen Xi wanted to say? "Explain to me first, Chidao, life is the most important thing. Don't think that I don't know that you will be paralyzed when you go back."
Chen Xi rolled his eyes helplessly. Although this is the truth, you don't have to say it directly. You make me embarrassed.
There is no way to reason with people like Yuan Shu? Especially when Yuan Shu is in charge? Yuan Shu is not afraid of anything? So Chen Xi can only invite Yuan Shu in with a depressed look.
"Let the kitchen warm some wine." Chen Xi greeted the butler. Speaking of which, the butler has been looking for the next generation of butlers for several years. So far, he has not found a suitable one.
"Yes? Master." The housekeeper nodded slightly, and then went to inform.
"I rarely come to your house. It just looks like this. I thought it would be the same as Liu Xuande's place, which is very luxurious." Yuan Shu looked around. Didn't he think there was anything luxurious? This is not in line with Yuan Shu's view of the place.
Chen Xi’s understanding.
"Tsk? That's what you said." Chen Xi took Yuan Shu in and soon met Chen Yu, who rushed over from the snow, but before he could reach Chen Xi, he fell and rolled.
After getting up and continuing to rush, Chen Xi stretched out his hand to scoop it up and lifted it high.
"It's gotten a lot heavier." Chen Xi lifted him up several times one after another. Chen Yu was very happy. It could be seen that without Chen Xi at home, there was no one to lift him up.
"Mom was reading a book and said she wouldn't come to pick you up." Chen Yu said clearly and logically.
"Come, call uncle." Chen Xi pointed at Yuan Shu and greeted.
"Hello, uncle." Chen Yu bowed and bowed to Yuan Shu. It was obvious that the traditional and simple teachings were very meticulous, and at least he looked very well-behaved.
"He grows up so fast." After Yuan Shu looked around, he touched inside his sleeve, took out a string of beads, and gave it directly to Chen Yu, "I remember that I was here when he was a hundred days old. This little kid
He grows up really fast.”
"Why do I feel that this bead looks familiar?" Chen Xi stared at the yellow jade bead on Yuan Shu's hand. He seemed to have seen it on the wrist of an acquaintance. Why did it end up in Yuan Shu's hand?
"I won during gambling. In addition to cash, I accepted everything from land." Yuan Shu said arrogantly, "This is gambling money. I found a very good bead in it, so I kept it in my sleeve.
, I don’t know when it will be used.”
Who knows, the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and when meeting an acquaintance with a grandson or a son, they all need a gift, so Yuan Shu packed a sleeve of things.
"Oh." Chen Xi didn't know what to say. You Heizhuang can still speak so righteously, thanks to Man Chong not coming back yet, otherwise, I would definitely teach you how to behave.
"Go to your mother. I'll take you to play later." Chen Xi touched Chen Yu's head, then sent Chen Yu back to the inner courtyard, and then took Yuan Shu to the study. Yuan Shu was a man with no humanity.
After Chen Xi and others entered the Zhuque Gate, the families in Chang'an quickly received the news, and even the onlookers as far away as the northern suburbs of Chang'an also received the news soon after.
"Ah, Chen Zichuan is back?" Ding Lan whispered to his friend beside him. The other party was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
"Let's take a look at the blast furnace first. They're all here." The family member on the other side who also received the news said casually. Chen Xi was back anyway and couldn't escape. Let's take a look at the condition of the blast furnace first.
"The molten steel is coming out!" Just as a group of people were passing the news to each other, Cao Guan of the Smelting Department in the northern suburbs began to beat the drum to notify the idlers and tell them to wait and get out of here. They were going to release the molten steel and carry out mold pouring. Okay, this way
The so-called inverted mold container is actually a trench that is dug a few centimeters wide, more than ten centimeters long, and more than ten centimeters deep.
Originally, blast furnace steelmaking did not require this, but currently, except for Xianglishi, which has its own forging equipment, the mainstream in other places still relies on manpower.
This is also the reason why a hexagonal blast furnace requires more than two hundred craftsmen to maintain. Therefore, the current situation is basically pouring out the molten steel and turning it into pieces of steel plates, which are then transferred to craftsmen for forging processing.
Although this method is not as simple and crude as Xiangli's method, where the molten steel is half solidified and then the hammer is started to forge, and the finished product is produced directly, it is still far better than the previous method.
So after beating the drums here, the golden red molten steel was poured into the ground trough that had been prepared. The eyes of the major families were shining when they saw this scene. One furnace weighed more than 12,000 kilograms. It was really terrible. This is
The strength of this big daddy.
"It's really scary." Xun Shuang stood on a tall building in the distance, watching the scene of golden-red molten steel pouring into the underground trough, and sighed with emotion, "Just one furnace alone can cost ten thousand people."
Three thousand kilograms of molten steel, even if I knew about it very early, just seeing it is scary."
"This stove was used thirty years ago, and it was enough to fight several wars." Chen Ji couldn't help but sigh, leaning on his crutches, "This kind of thing is much more reliable than those imaginary things. If you have strength, don't abuse it, and
This is strength."
"Yes." Xun Shuang sighed, "It's a pity that it is difficult to repair. There are only thirty-five of them so big now, including those who were killed suddenly in the past."
"Is your family also studying this?" Chen Ji asked casually.
"I want to do research, but I'm in Guishang and can't do it. The people here in my family are all old, weak, sick, and disabled, so they don't have time to do research. Let's see if we can cultivate an engineering-like spiritual talent. I'm thinking of relying on people alone.
, it’s a bit difficult.” Xun Shuang said something that was enough to make people angry to death.
Chen Ji didn't reply. He and Xun Shuang have known each other for more than sixty years. This guy is not a good person. He is definitely a good hand at making people angry. So Chen Ji didn't say much and just looked at the steel plates in the ground trough quickly.
It turns dark red when cooled, and then the blacksmith clamps the steel plates in order, brings them to his furnace, and quickly starts processing.
In fact, the steel plate at this time is not too bad. Although the strength is not at its highest due to watering, the quality of the molten steel is sufficient, so the strength is still guaranteed. The rest is forging. If there is a mechanical forging hammer,
The speed would be very fast, but unfortunately, there is no such thing, so we can only rely on manpower. This is also the reason why more than 200 craftsmen exist.
"No matter how many times I watch it, I still feel that this thing is really scary." Xun Shuang sighed again, "I never thought that such a method could be used before."
"Yes, even if we have enough knowledge, this is beyond our previous knowledge." Chen Ji said quietly, "What do you think about the second five-year plan?"
"Of course I have to listen to orders, listen to others' advice, and eat enough. Your family's vision and ability are better than ours, so what can't we agree with?" Xun Shuang shook his head and said, "I don't know what other families do.
I want to, but I don’t have any ideas here.”
Xun Shuang doesn't mind hugging his thigh. If he has a leg to hug, and if people don't kick him, Xun Shuang will definitely not mind hugging his thigh. After all, it is easy and hassle-free. As for face, there is no face in hugging his thigh.
?
Are you kidding me? In this world, most of the time, people who recognize the reality will not only not look down on you because you hug your thighs, but will actually think that you are discerning and have found a suitable thigh. After all, these days, thighs are also
Cherish resources.
"That's fine." Chen Ji nodded. Under certain circumstances, the Xun family is also the vane. There are so many smart people in this family.
