On the eve of the establishment of the Weapon Refining Guild, Zhang Hao came forward and used the Han family as a model, which naturally offended the Han family.
Now that he had the opportunity, Han Yue naturally 'thought of' the Zhang family.
In the court, everyone was a little confused. How could a small Zhang family solve the urgent needs of the empire?
Faced with everyone's suspicion, Han Yue explained: "Your Majesty, this is what happened.
Previously, General Wu Fanghai adopted Zhang Hao as his adopted son, and Zhang Hao promised to provide Wu Fanghai with 5,000 tons of black iron with a purity of over 95% within two months."
The emperor nodded, Wu Fanghai told him about this.
Han Yue continued: "It has been more than ten days now, I think the Zhang family should prepare at least one thousand tons of black iron.
One thousand tons of dark iron with a purity of over 95% should be enough to solve the urgent need."
The emperor nodded: "Five thousand tons in two months. Now that more than ten days have passed, we should indeed prepare a thousand tons. But do you think the Zhang family can still solve the problem of war weapons?
As far as I know, the Zhang family doesn’t seem to have the ability to refine weapons, right?”
"Your Majesty, that is in the past. Now, the Zhang family has taken the lead and established a second guild in Ninghe County, the Weapon Refining Guild! The Weapon Refining Guild's first plan is to create war instruments."
With that said, Han Yue explained the situation at that time, and of course it was inevitable to add fuel to the fire. For example, the Weapon Refining Guild was obviously jointly initiated by other families, but now Han Yue said that it was the Zhang family who took the lead, especially Zhang Hao's role.
Moreover, Han Yue strongly advocated that the Weapon Refining Guild was "very powerful", having gathered hundreds of large and small refining families, etc., and its production capacity might exceed that of the country.
After hearing what Han Yue said, the emperor was moved.
But the prime minister raised a very real question: "Your Majesty, although everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country, we do not have a proper and powerful reason to directly urge the Zhang family and the Weapon Refining Guild to do something."
"This is simple!" Han Yue said excitedly, "Your Majesty, please issue an official edict to officially confer the Black Iron Guild and the Weapon Refining Guild. You can reward and canonize the Zhang family for what happened before.
In this way, Your Majesty can entrust the Zhang family, the Black Iron Guild, and the Weapon Refining Guild with 'important responsibilities'."
The prime minister frowned a little after hearing this. This was really too much.
However, the country was in trouble, and no one from the Zhang family, Xuantie Guild and Weapon Refining Guild spoke up for him in the court, so the matter was settled.
Then, everyone began to discuss what kind of reward should be given to the Zhang family, and what kind of reward should be given to the newly emerged Black Iron Guild and the Weapon Refining Guild.
Although Han Yue didn't like the Zhang family, the empire also wanted to save face. It couldn't be too shabby, at least it had to be decent.
…………
The Zhang family is still immersed in joy.
Zhang Hao succeeded in building the foundation, and Zhang Shengde immediately ordered that everyone be rewarded with a high-grade spiritual stone - which was actually hush money.
Zhang Hao has also started a new practice.
For example, Zhang Hao finally learned the appraisal technique he dreamed of.
Pointing your finger on the black iron, the true energy flows inside the black iron, and you can 'see' a wonderful phenomenon with your weak spiritual consciousness:
The true energy advances one by one and eventually dissipates. Based on the number of nodes it advances, the purity of the black iron can be judged. The more the nodes, the higher the purity. And how to control the 'number of nodes' and how to accurately judge the purity of the black iron
, it requires rich experience accumulation.
But just that, Zhang Hao was surprised.
"It is indeed a wonderful world!"
But what excites Zhang Hao even more is that Huang Mingshan and others are purifying ultra-high purity black iron.
Under the guidance of preliminary science and technology, Huang Mingshan and others have begun to have the concepts of oxygen, oxidation, complete combustion, and incomplete combustion.
Huang Mingshan and others selected the best ore, extracted the ore concentrate, and began the first step of smelting to eliminate impurities contained in the ore.
Then, in an environment that isolates spiritual energy, the smelted black iron is oxidized, and the black iron is 'completely crushed' into fine rust powder through oxidation.
Then the rust powder is spread flat to form a very thin layer, which is reduced again with charcoal. Then high-temperature air containing spiritual energy is introduced to oxidize the iron, leaving pure black iron.
Then add lime, stir, etc.
After working hard for three or four days, I finally produced a piece of dark iron with a brilliant blue light, like a gem.
Zhang Shengye, who was waiting nearby, couldn't wait to grab it for identification. After a moment, he frowned: "The purity... seems to be 100%? This purity seems to be beyond the range of our family's identification skills~"
Zhang Hao smiled, took the black iron out of the smelting base, and found Feng Zhiling to help him identify it.
After Feng Zhiling identified it, he exclaimed: "The purity is 99.8%! How did you do it?"
Zhang Hao smiled, without explaining, just asked: "Senior brother, is this piece of black iron enough to refine a flying sword?"
"Not enough!" Feng Zhiling chuckled, "Don't forget, you promised me fifty kilograms!"
As he spoke, Feng Zhiling stuffed the piece of black iron into his storage ring.
Zhang Hao:......
Damn it, I’ve never seen you so shameless! Will you die if you just be more reserved?
Sure enough, there are great things everywhere in the world.
Zhang Hao returned to the research room with a dark face and said to Huang Mingshan: "The purity of the black iron just now was good, reaching 99.8%."
Huang Mingshan and others immediately cheered. They created another miracle.
Zhang Hao handed out the rewards he had prepared, encouraged everyone, and finally snorted: "Is this enough? Is there no improvement?
Replace all tools with high-purity black iron to prevent secondary pollution. Then sort out all the processes and start again!"
Although Huang Mingshan and others are a bit arrogant, they still have good intentions. They truly "started from humble beginnings", and the hardships in the past have left them with precious wealth - seriousness! No complaints!
Replace all tools and re-optimize the process.
Zhang Hao was waiting excitedly. This time, will there be black iron with a purity of three nines? The so-called three nines are 99.9%.
I wonder what the effect will be after the purity reaches 99.9%?
Accidentally, Zhang Hao's thoughts went astray. He remembered an article in another world that said that the purity of magnesium in space can reach 140%, involving mass superposition effect and so on. This is a truly surreal material.
"I wonder if black iron can be more than 100% pure?" Zhang Hao started to have "wild thoughts".
Until the sound of footsteps next to him woke up Zhang Hao.
It was Zhang Han who came. After a few days, Zhang Han's face was still a little pale. Zhang Hao was a little embarrassed when he saw him and couldn't help but express some concern.
Zhang Han said with a dark face: "It's okay. Someone from the imperial court has come and brought the canonization title given to you by His Majesty."
"Canonization?" Zhang Hao frowned, what is this?
Suddenly the canonization came, which made Zhang Hao feel a little uncomfortable.
When I came to the living room of the residence, I saw 'Ouyang Chu' standing in the north of the lobby. At this time, Ouyang Chu was dressed in gorgeous court clothes, holding an imperial edict in his hand, and his face was serious.
As soon as Zhang Hao entered the door, Ouyang Chu shouted: "Zhang Hao takes the order!"
Accept the order? How to accept it? Zhang Hao looked cute.
"Hand over your hands and just stand there without speaking." Zhang Shengde's voice sounded in Zhang Hao's mind.
Zhang Hao did as he was told, and Ouyang Chu slowly unfolded the imperial edict: "By God's command, the emperor issued an edict: Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the country. When Zhang Hao was in dire straits, Zhang Hao established the Xuan Iron Guild and the Weapon Refining Guild, which will be of great benefit to the country. I am very pleased that I have been granted the title of Baron Zhang Hao and given the sword 'Qingyun'. I admire this."
Next to it, there are palace guards holding vermilion lacquer trays. On one side are lacquer crowns, brocade clothes, jade pendants, cloud boots, and brocade belts; on the other side are placed a long sword decorated with gems and jade.
"Zhang Hao thanks the Holy Grace." Zhang Hao stretched out his hands and took the imperial edict. Although he felt that the edict was a bit strange, from today on, he is also a baron. This is a noble, although it is the lowest level of noble.
However, Ouyang Chu did not move. He took out another imperial edict!
This imperial edict is quite simple.
Zhang Hao's pupils contracted.
Is the show coming?!
