Facing Zhang Hao's inquiry, Zhou Jue smiled confidently and calmly, "This matter is very simple. Since you are a dead soldier, you cannot force him to die. That is exactly what they expect.
But what if we let them live? And live well?
There are maids when he comes in, guards when he goes out, and he even received a title from His Majesty, became a high official, and has a mansion and a beautiful family. What do you think will happen to his relatives? "
Zhang Hao thought for a moment and suddenly shuddered: "His relatives and friends will be killed!"
Zhou Jue nodded: "So, we made a deal. I guarantee that he will die, and that he will die miserably; and he will tell me all the news."
Zhang Hao suddenly didn't know how to describe his feelings. Zhuang Yunwen actually betrayed the information just so that he could "die miserably"!
Zhou Jue also put away the smile on his face and replaced it with emotion, "He has parents, a wife and children, and friends who can be close to each other. Therefore, he can only die. The more miserable his death, the more miserable his family and friends will be."
They are safe and will even receive extra care.”
Zhang Hao was silent for a while, then said leisurely: "He is a man. Unfortunately, he is an enemy."
"Yeah, it's a pity." After a pause, Zhou Jue said again: "Zhang Hao, with so many things happening, I don't have to worry about things here. It's been so many years, and it's not bad in a few days."
On the contrary, Zhang Hao shook his head stubbornly: "I said five days, it means five days. If it really can't be completed, I will try my best."
Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Hao seriously for a while and nodded solemnly: "Okay!"
Credibility, keeping one's word, is one of the fundamentals of business; if the Zhang family wants to rise, it must do this. There is no compromise on this.
Obviously, Zhang Hao's persistence was recognized by Zhou Jue.
Therefore, Zhou Jue immediately decided to stay at Zhang's house. Anyway, one day had passed and there were four days left. It was over in just one meditation.
Zhang Hao continued to be busy until the next morning, when he finally finished cleaning up, Zhang Hao prepared to give an inspiring speech.
But someone came to report, General Wu Fanghai sent someone.
When they met, Shu Bennan first presented the nourishing pill and greeted Wu Fanghai. Finally, he said seriously: "Junior brother, the commander-in-chief said that the military order is like a mountain. For sixty days, the order of five thousand tons of black iron will not be changed at all!"
Before Zhang Hao could say anything, the craftsmen around him stopped working.
Zhang Hao waved his hand, suppressed everyone's anger, and said to Shu Bennan in a firm tone: "Brother, please tell your adoptive father and promise to complete it. If it is not completed, I will raise my head to see my adoptive father!"
Shu Bennan was stunned for a while, then patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder: "Your temper is exactly the same as that of the Marshal. Is there anything you need?"
"Yes, the Zhang family can't stand the second time, and I don't want to have a second time."
"I'll bring this to you. Time is tight, so I'll take my leave first."
After Zhang Hao sent Shu Bennan away, he looked back at the angry craftsmen and shouted: "Are you angry?"
There was an instant quarrel down below.
After a long time, Zhang Hao suppressed everyone's anger and spoke again: "Since you are angry, you should work harder to produce.
The ones attacking us are not the Generals of the Cavalry, but enemies from the Country of Canglan!
What does this mean? It means that the enemy is afraid of us and our production capabilities. Therefore, we must use practical actions to tell the enemy that we cannot be defeated!
The more afraid they are, the more dark iron we have to produce.
Arm our army with dark iron!
We may not directly participate in the war, but we must also contribute to this Eastern Expedition.
For every pound of black iron we produce, the frontline soldiers will have one more flying sword and one more arrow, and they can kill one more enemy!"
The anger gradually disappeared, replaced by firm eyes.
Everyone stopped talking, turned around silently, lowered their heads, and started working!
There were slogans, forging sounds, and the roar of machines.
The first machine tools were fortunately not damaged.
Bai Xiaodong led many skilled workers to turn on the machine tools and use the assembly line production method to produce new steam turbines, new grinding discs, transmission belts, pulleys, bearings...
Zhang Hao led Huang Mingshan and others to study... high-purity black iron.
I should have been studying oil, but now I really can’t find the time.
Huang Mingshan was the first to suggest: "Master, if we use the best iron powder and high-grade spiritual stone powder, we may be able to refine high-purity black iron. Even if it does not meet the standard, we can definitely achieve it by forging it with water forging."
."
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Huang Mingshan, I hope you can forget the water forging technique."
"ah……"
Zhang Hao said seriously: "After such a long time, I think you can feel that what we are exploring is a method of directly using technology to solve problems, rather than using traditional methods for secondary processing.
I'm not against secondary processing, but I don't agree with it. I hope everyone can pursue higher efficiency and better technology from the bottom of their hearts.
Unless there is really no choice in the end, we will use water forging."
Huang Mingshan stopped talking. Liu Ming, the youngest among the seven, spoke up; "Master, I have an idea. Whether it is a low-level spirit stone or a high-level spirit stone, there are impurities in it, and the impurities in the spirit stone are very difficult to remove.
. So, can we just use the spirit gathering array instead of the spirit stone?
We gather spiritual energy through the spirit gathering array and then inject it into the smelting furnace together with the air?"
Everyone immediately started discussing, and some even suggested that instead of even using bamboo charcoal, how about heating the charcoal directly to produce some kind of gas? Heating water can produce water vapor, but will there be a similar phenomenon when heating charcoal?
When Zhang Hao heard this, his eyes suddenly brightened up. Although the idea of heating charcoal to extract steam was a bit naive, incomplete combustion of charcoal can produce carbon monoxide!
Zhang Hao will not encourage others; but if they have wonderful ideas, Zhang Hao will give them guidance!
The best way to learn is to practice!
Practice brings true knowledge!
If we can use carbon monoxide to replace charcoal, and use spirit gathering array to replace spirit stones, we should be able to directly smelt ultra-high purity black iron!
The Spirit Gathering Formation is easy to say, everyone has rich experience.
But when charcoal was tested in complete isolation from air, it naturally failed at first.
A closed iron gourd was used to heat charcoal, with only a small outlet. Everyone worked hard for a long time, but failed to achieve the desired effect.
Zhang Hao quietly opened a trick: How about opening a small hole on the side of the gourd and inputting a small amount of air?
This is a dangerous experiment, but it can only be done before sufficient chemical theory is formed.
Anyway, everyone is a cultivator, even if they explode... they won't die~~~
Huang Mingshan and others skillfully added defenses to themselves and began to conduct experiments. Then they carefully debugged and finally a light blue flame appeared at the mouth of the gourd.
The flame was so weak and dim that it flickered for a few times before disappearing. But it shocked Huang Mingshan and others greatly.
"Really...it can happen!"
Zhang Hao smiled and said nothing. He was thinking about how to start an experiment to test the composition of the air. Remember, the best method is lime water?
While Zhang Hao was thinking, Zhang Han came in with a nervous look on his face, "Brother, something bad has happened. Just now there was news from the City Lord's Mansion that the Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Canglan in the East have taken the initiative to attack. A total of millions
Elite attack.
The current news is: Jinyang's defense line has collapsed, and a hundred thousand troops have been wiped out.
