    (Each chapter needs to be read carefully twice or more, and typos, incorrect sentences, and connections between upper and lower parts need to be corrected. It¡¯s very tiring. Please forgive me. This is a slow work.)

    After unloading the black iron and settling the accounts on site, Zhang Hao left with the others.  Zhou Xueyao stayed here. To be precise, she was left here by Zhou Jue.

    Zhang Hao did not go home immediately, but went to the City Lord's Mansion.  If we want to open up a maritime road, we must unite all forces that can be united.  The power of the country cannot be ignored. In terms of formation, we are also prepared to seek help from the city lord.

    Zhang Hao got straight to the point and told Liu Jingming the plan directly, and finally said: "City Master Liu, that's it. The Zhang family and the Weapon Refining Guild are going to jointly create the Dutian Fiery Formation.

    "But asking for living space from the sea will inevitably lead to collisions with ocean monsters, so I want to borrow a point formation master from the city lord.  "

    Liu Jingming¡¯s face looked a little strange: ¡°We just met yesterday, right?¡±

    "Yes."

    Liu Jingming smiled half-heartedly: "Why didn't you mention it yesterday?"

    ¡°Yesterday, my ideas were not yet mature and I didn¡¯t know how to speak.¡±

    "Okay, how sure are you?"

    "Is the city lord asking about refining weapons? Or about boiling the sea?"

    "There are all."

    "That's 100% sure!" Zhang Hao said firmly.  In other words, there is no way out, there is no other choice but success.

    Liu Jingming looked at Zhang Hao for a while, then slowly said: "I can't make the decision on this matter, I need to report to Your Majesty! Oh By the way, I also informed Your Majesty about the master's affairs yesterday, you go back and wait.  .¡±

    Zhang Hao nodded. He just came to inform that he had no control over what arrangements the country would make.  A country has a national operating form, which is different from a family or a sect.

    In fact, although I want to ask the country to help me with this matter, it is also Zhang Hao's statement - we have not forgotten the country, and we will not eat alone.  Zhang Hao came to Liu Jingming twice, which was actually a 'repeated statement'.  This is called having the right attitude.

    "Obviously, Zhang Hao's repeated statements made Liu Jingming very happy - this young man knows how to do things.

    ¡°No, Zhang Hao stood up and left, and Liu Jingming personally sent Zhang Hao to the door of the city lord¡¯s mansion.

    After Zhang Hao left, Liu Jingming wrote a letter in person and ordered it to be sent to the imperial capital as quickly as possible to deliver it to the emperor himself.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    After returning home, Zhang Hao went straight to the smelting base and watched everyone busy.

    If you want to forge a formation base weighing 100,000 kilograms, you must use mechanical power.

    In three days, Huang Mingshan and others designed a new production device.  They modified the truss of the smelting furnace and used thick iron pillars to support it to a height of more than ten meters. There were thick iron cables and heavy pulleys above. The iron cables could lift a weight of 100,000 kilograms.

    In order to strengthen the iron rope, the lower end of the iron rope and the hook area are also reinforced with formations and seals.  Since seeing Zhou Xueyao's use of the seal, Zhang Hao also learned a trick.  Seals can also provide protection.

    A small seal is enough to improve the high temperature resistance of the iron rope.

    The smelting furnace next to it does not stop, and the molten iron that has just come out of the furnace is directly injected into the steel-making formation without waiting for cooling.  Furnaces of molten iron are rolling, and the smelting base is as hot as waves. Even though Zhang Hao has reached the peak of the middle stage of foundation construction, he is still sweating profusely.

    The fans outside the smelting base are constantly blowing air, which can only bring a weak coolness.

    In order to speed up the smelting, the Zhang family had to use spirit stones to strengthen the earth fire.  This makes the temperature of the smelting base higher.

    The hot molten iron is constantly accumulating. Within the steel-making formation barrier, the molten iron always remains in a molten state; and what holds the molten iron is a dark iron trough reinforced with formations and seals.

    More than fifty tons of molten iron, which feels like a raging ocean, flow slowly in the three-meter-diameter furnace; the slightly rolling molten iron reflects the power of industry, and the red-hot light shines with the light of hope.

    When another furnace of molten iron was poured in, Huang Mingshan closed his notebook and shouted: "A total of 51 tons of molten iron is enough; prepare the spiritual energy cooking device."

    The so-called spiritual energy cooking device is the core technology of "cooking steel".  The lower part uses high-grade spirit stones to activate the flame formation, and the upper part uses coke refined from petroleum.

    These cokes contain thick but mixed spiritual energy; however, after being 'cooked' by high temperature and high pressure, these spiritual energy will all turn into active, high-quality spiritual energy.

    Under high temperatures, the carbon contained in the coke will also evaporate and penetrate into the molten iron to complete the carburization process.  Although it is black iron,??Xuantie can still increase its strength through carburizing treatment.

    After the preparation of the cooking device was completed, Huang Mingshan and others checked that everything was correct, and the formation was completely closed.

    ¡®Cooking Steel¡¯ now uses the ¡®Boiling Mountain Formation¡¯ from Yuxue Villa.  Compared with other formations, this formation can withstand greater pressure and higher temperatures, and Huang Mingshan and others can easily master it. It can be expanded to ten meters in size and is easy to operate.

    In the process of constant exploration, Huang Mingshan and others discovered that the higher the temperature and the greater the pressure, the less spiritual energy is used, and the better the steel material is.

    However, the spiritual energy cannot be too little. According to estimates, each ton of steel still requires about the equivalent of one million low-grade spiritual stones.

    When the formation is closed, you can see that the coke in the formation is quickly melted by the burning of the flame formation, and the mixed spiritual energy is released.  Soon the inside of the formation became hazy.

    About half an hour later, the spiritual energy in the formation began to become violent and tumbling, and the spiritual energy also began to quickly turn red and blazing; the next moment, the spiritual energy formed a vortex, spiraling rapidly, and shrinking rapidly; a few minutes later, all  The spiritual energy was absorbed by Xuan Tie.

    Although Zhang Hao has watched this scene several times, seeing it here still amazed Zhang Hao.

    Huang Mingshan and others skillfully opened a corner of the formation to dissipate heat first; seeing a black floating layer begin to appear on the surface of the molten iron, Yu Yueyun personally hung the iron rope on the furnace.  The furnace began to tilt, the gate opened, and more than fifty tons of molten iron in a viscous state was poured into a mold buried underground.

    The shape of the mold is divided into two parts.  The lower part is a main body with a diameter of one meter and a length of eight meters; the upper part is only 30 centimeters in diameter and has a barb for easy lifting.

    The upper part cooled quickly. Yu Yueyun excitedly hung the hook of the iron rope on the barb, and then began to calculate the cooling time of the lower part.

    In order to speed up the cooling and gain time, an array was used for cooling below. When the surface temperature of the steel column dropped to about 900 degrees, it was confirmed that the steel had solidified, and Yu Yueyun ordered the lifting.

    The heavy hoist that had just been successfully tested began to operate with a squeaking sound. The iron cables were stretched straight, and several workers continued to oil the pulleys and trusses.  The technology is still very rough for the time being. We can only operate in this way and explore and accumulate technology.

    The trusses at a height of more than ten meters creaked, and there was the harsh sound of steel friction between the pulleys, iron cables, and trusses.  The red-hot steel pillars are inaccessible.

    Weighing more than 50 tons, orange-yellow steel columns were lifted out from the ground little by little.  The barbs above the steel columns are slightly deformed and seem unable to bear the heavy body.

    "Be careful, be careful, don't shake too much, steady, steady!" Yu Yueyun shouted, "Slow down, slow down. Everyone get out of the way, be careful of danger."

    Zhang Hao also stood far away. The current industrial technology is really a bit a test of courage.

    With more than fifty tons of objects lifted at one go, the truss must bear a weight of almost sixty or seventy tons, coupled with the power of iron cables, pulleys, winches, etc.

    Slowly, slowly, the steel pillar finally reached the top of the pool with difficulty; Yu Yueyun directed the iron pillar to fall little by little.

    As soon as the steel column approached the water, a cloud of steam appeared on the water; when the steel column finally entered the water, there was a squeaking sound and the gurgling sound of water bubbles, and a hazy cloud of smoke spread instantly, submerging the entire base.

    The formation operates rapidly, continuously removing the water vapor, but it cannot be exhausted.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
