Listening to Feng Qingyang's mouthful of hot and cold degrees, Jiang Hua finally realized: In today's era, no one has defined temperature in detail, and various weights and measures are not unified. There is almost a standard for each country.
The same is true for Taoist research.
The weights, measures and other standards used by Taoists at the time of their research may have been strictly based on what the master taught them.
Ultimately, every school has one standard.
No wonder so many Taoists do research every day, but after so many years of research, they don’t achieve much.
It is simply unimaginable that there is not even the most basic weights and measures that can be used worldwide!
At this moment, Jiang Hua had an idea in a trance: at least we need to unify the weights and measures of words and currencies, right?
"After successfully training fine steel for the first time, the alchemist and his father tried repeatedly and finally mastered the appropriate degree of hot and cold. Based on this, they created a very simple magic weapon. With this magic weapon
, just input the appropriate mana, you can automatically control the hot and cold levels..."
Although it was a little bit like I was wondering, the Tao method itself is extremely convenient, and it was successful in the end.
"Let's go and take a look. In addition, can the degree of coldness and heat be more specific? More detailed?"
Jiang Hua said as he walked: "For example, can there be a specific number to accurately represent the degree of coldness and heat when fine steel melts? Is there a specific and accurate number to represent the degree of coldness and heat when ordinary pig iron melts?
?”
"I define the degree of hot and cold as temperature, and the temperature at which iron melts is called the melting point. So, what is the melting point of iron? What is the melting point of fine steel?"
"If I define the boiling temperature of water as one hundred, what is the melting point of iron?"
"Of course, I just put forward an idea, and the specific implementation still depends on you."
A moment later, Jiang Hua saw the alchemist and his old father in a blacksmith shop in the city.
At this moment, the two are working hard to make steel.
"Don't be nervous, just do whatever you want."
After appeasing the two of them, Jiang Hua began to observe carefully.
Just like Feng Qingyang described, the magic weapon itself is indeed very crude.
After inputting mana, the mana will automatically be converted into fire-attribute aura, and then into flames. The more mana is input, the more flames and the higher the temperature.
As for air, oxygen, etc., Jiang Hua didn't know if he had considered it. But the overall feeling of this magic weapon to Jiang Hua was that it was so powerful that bricks flew away, which is the so-called miracle of the atmosphere.
Although Jiang Hua took a quick look and found many flaws and areas that could be improved, Jiang Hua did not point them out directly.
Compared with the magic weapons carefully refined by Qi practitioners, this magic weapon is indeed very crude. There are almost no complex restrictions. It is just a few simple runes, and then input the magic power.
But this magical instrument is a beginning, a beginning for a Taoist to integrate into life.
That's enough!
After observing for a moment, the molten iron flowed out and began to cool down. While it was cooling down, Jiang Hua began to chat with the alchemist.
"Why did you suddenly want to design such a magic weapon?"
"After I returned home, I found that my father was very hard at making iron. I also remembered that my Lord had been calling on us to integrate Taoism into our lives. I also remembered the Siheyuan method that my Lord had pioneered before, and I thought about whether I could create an iron-making industry.
Spell."
"My original idea was to directly separate refined steel from ore."
"However, I have limited magical power and limited knowledge, so I cannot achieve it."
Jiang Hua nodded slightly, there are indeed similar spells, and there are quite a few.
Taoist priests can start directly from the golden aura and separate all the iron through the subtle control of the aura. But it is too delicate, and today's Jiang Hua cannot do it.
But it is impossible for a Taoist priest to come to make iron, and it is even less possible for a Taoist priest to come here. The price/performance ratio is too low.
"Later, I failed again and again, and I lowered my requirements again and again."
"In the end, it just helps my father control the flame accurately and smelt fine steel every time."
Can steel be made at high temperatures?
Yes and no.
There is no problem in theory, and there is no problem in the chemical formula, but in actual operation, it is much more complicated.
When and how many degrees?
How long will it last?
What substances should be added in a certain process?
If a certain situation occurs, how should we deal with it?
Theoretically, steel can be produced at high temperatures, but in reality this is still far from large-scale steelmaking.
But Jiang Hua was full of joy at this moment. This time, it was not Jiang Hua who came up with the idea, but the Taoist group themselves who created this series of spells through their own efforts.
Jiang Hua believes that as long as he keeps the overall environment unchanged, more and more Taoists will devote themselves to living Taoism in the future.
Slowly, the Taoist revolution came.
Thinking of this, Jiang Hua decided to spend a lot of money to buy horse bones. The elderly alchemist in front of him was the best horse bone!
"Your magic weapon is very practical. It can control the temperature and make iron into steel."
"The principle of this magic weapon is simple, it is not difficult to refine, and it is not difficult to use either."
"Any alchemist can use and control it."
"Although it's not perfect yet and there's still a lot of room for improvement, it's the difference between zero and one."
Listening to Jiang Hua's praise, the alchemist himself was almost stunned.
I just saw that my father was working very hard, and then he made some small improvements. It sounds like he will be prosperous soon?
"The Prefecture has decided to expropriate this invention and give you the right to patent it."
In today's world, the mountains, rivers, and vegetation are the domain of the nobles, and are called patents.
Patents, exclusive benefits.
Mountains, rivers, grass and trees are the wealth of nobles. If ordinary people go into the mountains to cut trees, they will be beaten to death if they are discovered.
It is illegal for ordinary people to go fishing in the river, and they are robbing the wealth of the nobles.
At this moment, Jiang Hua decided that from now on, all similar Taoist methods of steelmaking would be the patent of this alchemist in front of him.
"From now on, all those in Yancheng who use similar technologies to make steel will have to hand over 1% of their profits to you."
"You can move to the city lord's palace later."
"In the future, pay attention to safety, try not to leave Yancheng, live a good life, and practice well."
Hearing this, the alchemist became even more confused.
What's going on?
Why do you suddenly need to pay attention to safety? You haven't offended anyone?
Feng Qingyang patted the alchemist on the shoulder: "You are rich. After this technology is improved, it will be adopted on a large scale. Yancheng will also usher in a new era of explosive steel production."
"Although the technology itself is very simple, the effect is huge."
"One percent profit may not sound like much, but when you add up, it must be a huge number."
"You are getting rich. You are going to get rich. Your wealth may soon exceed that of 99% of the people in Yancheng. Ordinary Taoist priests are not as rich as you."
"At that time, your safety becomes the most important issue."
"Even if Yancheng is watching and your life is not safe, there is no guarantee that someone will plan to get married to you. When you have a child, you may die suddenly one day. Even if you don't die suddenly, some people have tens of thousands of ways to get married.
If you die at the end of your life, let you die on a woman's belly, let you die of fatigue, let you die..."
