The black stone he was talking about was anthracite, and it was also high-quality anthracite. Chen Wanrong thought that calling such high-quality anthracite black stone would be too vulgar, but it was still vivid and met the requirements that the villagers would understand immediately. He reached out and took it from Zhang Deming's hand. There was a heavy texture in his hand. He secretly admired Zhang Deming's quick response in matching the black stone and coal. He smiled and said: "Master Zhang, this is the thing that can be used to make coke and then steel."
"If this thing can make steel, then it's okay. We have many in the west of Luojiadian. You can get as many as you want." Zhang Deming looked excited and then asked for advice: "Master Wanrong, you are talking about coking. I don¡¯t quite understand it yet, could you please explain it to me again.¡±
Now he calls Chen Wanrong "Master Wanrong" instead of calling him by his first name. That's because Chen Wanrong was convinced by this class.
Coking is extremely important for steelmaking and has a great impact on the quality of steel. It is indeed necessary to emphasize it again. Chen Wanrong agreed: "Master Zhang likes to hear it, so I will let you know. If you don't understand, I will ask you." Correction." Humility is Chen Wanrong's virtue, and he did not forget to be modest.
The use of coke to make steel is a major progress in the history of steel. It can be called a milestone. It is not an invention of modern technology. This technology was used on a large scale in the Ming Dynasty. The blast furnace in the Ming Dynasty was nine meters high, and the steelmaking in the Ming Dynasty was semi-continuous. The molten steel was transferred from the blast furnace to another furnace for processing, and steel products were obtained directly. It was at that time that China mastered such advanced technology that the steel produced by a large steelmaking plant in China was equivalent to the total output of the United Kingdom at that time.
Chen Wanrong believes that it is unrealistic to promote modern steelmaking technology in the Tang Dynasty. With the wisdom of the Tang people, there will definitely be no problem in reaching the steelmaking level of the Ming Dynasty. The quality of steel in the Ming Dynasty was almost the same as when the chemical industry started. As long as it reached the level of the Ming Dynasty, plates could be made, and it was very possible to build chemical equipment. Chen Wanrong couldn't help but feel excited. After sorting out his thoughts, he gave it again. Zhang Deming explained the coking technology, including coal loading, coke pushing, coke quenching and coke screening, one by one. Zhang Deming stretched his neck longer than a giraffe.
"Master Zhang, I only know so much about steelmaking, so I'd like to ask your advice if I can't figure it out. It would be better if my respected teacher, Master Ye, could give me some advice." Chen Wanrong concluded with this.
If blast furnace ironmaking was implemented in the Tang Dynasty, the quality of steel in the Tang Dynasty would be comprehensively improved and a great change would be triggered. This is a huge systematic project that requires extremely huge manpower, material resources, and financial resources. It is impossible to complete it with Zhang Deming's strength, let alone a child of his own family who is extremely poor.
Chen Wanrong can make many chemical products, but due to the technological level of the Tang Dynasty, it is difficult to make the equipment he needs. If a breakthrough is made in steel, everything will change, and a new world will appear. Only in the Tang Dynasty could chemical industry really take root, so as not to become a Taoist magic trick boasted by alchemists and used to deceive people.
Thinking about this bright future, Chen Wanrong couldn't help but be very excited.
To achieve this leap, we can only rely on the wisdom of the Tang people and the power of the imperial court. Ye Tianheng is the master of weapons supervision. His vision will be very sharp and he will not fail to see the benefits. With his influence and appeal, he may be able to influence the court's decision. You must know that the Tang Dynasty attached great importance to science and technology. The improvement of steel quality would make the Tang army stronger. Based on this, the court would go all out. Only then did Chen Wanrong specifically remind Zhang Deming.
These words won Zhang Deming's approval. He patted his chest and raised his voice: "Master Wanrong's words are so reasonable. With my little ability, how can I make good steel? Wait for me to make Zairong's sword." Once it¡¯s taken care of, go and tell the master and listen to his old man¡¯s teachings.¡±
"Then you are rushing to Chang'an?" Chen Wanrong asked hurriedly as he was very anxious about the steel matter.
Zhang Deming chuckled and said: "Master Wanrong doesn't know something. My master is old and has already retired from official service. He has returned to our hometown in Ning County to take care of his old age. Otherwise, how can I worship him as my master?"
Zhang Deming was talking and assembling the hilt of the sword. He rushed to see Ye Tianheng and his efficiency improved a lot. He installed the hilt of the sword in a short while: "Just sharpen the sword."
Chen Zairong was very familiar with him and knew that his mind was not on this aspect at the moment. He took the sword from his hand with a smile: "Master Zhang, I will sharpen the sword myself. You have to go and do your business first." A pair of eyes stared straight at the sword, unable to put it down.
Who would be a swordsman who doesn't know how to sharpen a sword? Not only did Chen Zairong know it, but he was also very accomplished. The sword he sharpened was very sharp. Zhang Deming followed suit and handed over the ready-made scabbard: "Then you kid do it yourself. .¡±
"Okay, no problem." Chen Zairong took the scabbard, returned the sword to the sheath, hung it on his waist, and shook his waist.??, looking at the sword at his waist, he was pleased with himself, his bright eyes flickering.
"Master Zhang, how much does your sword cost?" Chen Wanrong put his right hand into his arms, ready to pay.
Zhang Deming rolled his eyes and said ungratefully: "Master Wanrong, what's wrong with you? Do you still want to pay? You taught me so many good things, aren't you trying to hurt me?"
"Master Zhang, you deserve this money. This is high-quality steel. You have put in a lot of effort. I would be very sorry if you don't pay." Chen Wanrong is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage. You have to pay for other people's things. This is a matter of personality.
Zhang Deming refused: "Master Wanrong, don't mention money. When this kid becomes successful, let him pay for the meal himself."
The meaning of the words was very clear, and he refused. Chen Wanrong sighed in his heart at the simplicity of the ancient style. Such rare and good steel would cost at least three to five guan. Zhang Deming never even thought of collecting money: "Master Zhang is so kind. , I agree on Zai Rong¡¯s behalf, and if Zai Rong really succeeds in the future, I will definitely return your love.¡±
Zhang Deming is so sincere, it would be too vulgar for Chen Wanrong not to use money to debase his sincerity.
"Master Zhang, please rest assured. If God doesn't let me down, and I really succeed one day, I will definitely remember your gift of the sword!" Chen Zairong hugged Zhang Deming and said sincerely.
Zhang Deming chuckled and patted Chen Zairong on the shoulder: "You will be a good boy. Red pink is given to beauties, and swords are given to martyrs. I give this sword to you, I am rest assured, it is worth it! I heard my master say that all ordinary generals There are only three things I love: war books, precious swords, and fierce horses! You have a sword now, and there are many in the art school. You should pay more attention to reading them. As for the fierce horses, your life is miserable." He sighed deeply. A sound.
Horses in the Tang Dynasty were very expensive. If a soldier brought a private horse into the army, the government would provide a subsidy of 25,000 yuan. One thousand taels is the same. In exchange for one tael of silver, the official price of a horse is twenty-five taels of silver. The market price will fluctuate a bit, but the difference will not be too big. Chen Zairong's family was extremely poor. Wanting to own a fine horse was like a beggar trying to drive a BMW. It was too unrealistic.
Zhang Deming¡¯s family situation is much better than that of Chen Zai Rong, but it is still unrealistic to sponsor a good horse for Chen Zai Rong, which is why I feel regretful.
Chen Zairong not only loves weapons, but also likes horses, but his family is too poor to afford them. In order not to let my parents worry, I kept this idea deep in my heart and never expressed it to anyone. Zhang Deming's words spoke to his thoughts, and he couldn't help but look dim. Chen Wanrong saw this and imagined that it would be a pity for a talented man like him not to have a good horse to accompany him. He had to find a way to buy him a good horse.
Just when Chen Wanrong changed his mind, Chen Zairong's demeanor returned to normal, and he said a heroic sentence: "Fame, wealth, and honor should be earned by a man! What's the matter?"
"You are ambitious! You are indeed a man! In the coming year, you will definitely be galloping on the battlefield!" It is admirable to have such lofty ambitions at such a young age, and Zhang Deming was greatly encouraged.
Chen Wanrong heard the sadness and anger beyond his heroic words. His parents' obstruction prevented him from galloping on the battlefield, and he did not want Zhang Deming to remind him of his sadness again, so he said: "Master Zhang, let's say goodbye."
"Good go!" Zhang Deming saw off the guests: "I should have kept you here for a while, but I have to go see the master. We don't talk to each other. I'm in love with this guy, so I won't say any polite words."
Zhang Deming sent Chen Wanrong and the others out of the house, said goodbye and returned to the house.
After leaving the blacksmith shop, Chen Wanrong¡¯s expectations became stronger and stronger: to make high-quality steel as soon as possible, and to build chemical equipment as soon as possible!
The history of science and technology has proven a problem countless times: technology without equipment support is impossible to promote. Chen Wanrong feels this very deeply now. He obviously has a lot of chemical knowledge, but he has no equipment and cannot make good products, so he can only make a little money. This feels really awkward!
