"Impossible!" Krupp shouted excitedly.
"Only you? With the little technological level of Asians, you want to crack the secret of the Krupp cannon? Are you kidding me!"
"Hahaha... People in Asia don't even believe that the earth is round. Even the ruling class of the Qing Empire don't believe that the earth is round. They don't believe in natural science at all!"
"I am from a military background. I have to study every war that breaks out around the world anytime, anywhere, including your internal wars in China. I also need to study it!"
"Whether it was the previous Taiping War or the recent Far East War, including the conflicts between you and the French, I admit that you have been making progress, but unfortunately, it is only you Chinese who have made progress!"
The ancient Qing Dynasty didn't even have a university. What kind of talents could they come up with? Even if you Chinese have several universities, how many talents can you reserve in such a short period of time? What a joke are you thinking of cracking the secret of my Krupp cannon in three years!
You don't even understand why Krupp can cast cannons out of steel? Why is France still using bronze?
"A nation that even needs to import iron nails dares to talk to me about the production of cannons? Funny, simply funny!"
Krupp finally said what was on his mind! It was only at this moment that these Chinese officers realized that this old guy looked down on the Chinese from the bottom of his heart!
This time, Krupp was able to receive the envoys with a high standard. In fact, it was just the following points. First of all, he is greedy for the money in the hands of the Chinese. He just hopes to make a lot of money by doing business with the Chinese. This is the duty of a businessman.
In addition, the top brass of the Prussian government, especially the iron-blooded prime minister Bismarck, also put a certain amount of pressure on him, so that he did not dare to look down on Xiao Letian and the others.
Finally, there is a little bit of repayment of gratitude. After all, the Chinese contributed a lot in the Austro-Prussian War. So as a Prussian, with the most basic morality, he should greet these distant guests politely. guest.
But his outward politeness could not conceal his inner contempt for Asians! This is an absolute overlooking of a higher civilization versus a lower civilization. In his eyes, Asia is a backward barbaric country with no civilization at all!
Krupp and others can respect a small group of elites among the Chinese, that is, the Chinese people, but they absolutely look down on the entire Chinese ethnic group.
Xiao Letian looked at the officers around him and clenched their fists in anger. He stretched out his hand and pressed down gently to stop their anger!
"Mr. Krupp, your arrogance has blinded your eyes. It seems that you can no longer analyze the problem rationally. Well, okay, I will tell you the answer, but then I need your apology!"
"This is my third point. Since you started out in technology, I will use technology to refute you. Don't think that we Chinese are all fools, and don't think that we can't understand Western natural science."
How did your Krupp family start up? It just relied on can steel technology! And your tank steel technology is actually no different from the ancient Chinese steel frying technology.
Steel and iron are actually the same substance. They are both smelted from iron ore, but their physical indicators are very different.

Ancient people classified steel and iron mainly as pig iron and wrought iron. Pig iron is the product of preliminary smelting, and it contains more impurities. Due to the uneven internal structure, the living body will be brittle and fragile, with almost no plasticity.
Wrought iron is basically close to steel in the modern sense. Wrought iron has much better toughness and stronger plasticity than pig iron because it has fewer internal impurities. Used to make swords and tools, it has always been the top grade in the ancient cold weapon era.
But the classification of steel and iron in the modern sense is not simply distinguished by the amount of impurities! Instead, they are distinguished by the amount of carbon inside the metal.
Those with a carbon content of less than 0.2% are named iron in academia, and wrought iron with a carbon content higher than this is called steel.
Why in ancient times did well-made weapons have to be forged hundreds of times and burned with flames? In fact, the purpose is to make the iron material more in contact with the charcoal, so that the carbon element in the combustion can penetrate into the iron material to obtain steel material.
The method of frying steel in ancient China actually involves mixing iron filings and charcoal evenly together, and then burning them in a furnace to allow the carbon elements in the charcoal to gradually penetrate into the iron filings, and finally obtain high-quality steel.
The magic weapon that the Krupp family started out with is called can steel. As the name suggests, it actually uses a steel can, puts pig iron and wrought iron in it, adds various chemical trace elements, and burns it at high temperature while rotating and frying it.
The principle is no different from that of steel frying in ancient China, except that the open smelting has been turned into a furnace for burning samples in a stuffy pot!
The steel produced in this way has stronger toughness and higher strength. When used to make gun barrels, it is even tougher.
Because the steel filling technology is Krupp's top secret. Therefore, the breech-loading cannon produced by Krupp is the best in the world, and it completely abandoned the material bronze.
Xiao Letian sneered and threw out the technical principles of steel filling bit by bit. Krupp's hands shook like chaff when he heard this. At that time, he even had an hallucination. If there was a pistol next to him, he would definitely button it. Kill this man who knows the family's core secrets with a quick strike!
Although what Xiao Letian said was very general, he revealed Guan Gang's secret to the point! The principle of its production is broken down.
"No, no, no... This is impossible. How do you know the secret of Can Gang? This is the top secret of our family!"
Xiao Letian sneered and said, "You don't have to worry about how I know it. You have your secrets and I have mine. It's best not to interfere with each other..."
Let me talk about it again, how did you solve the problem of artillery tail flame leakage? Although I can't come up with a ready-made product now, I know your idea of solving this problem very clearly.
You just added a small part to the breech block at the rear of the gun. Its name should be called the air-locking ring!
The principle is very simple. When the tail of the cannonball is ignited, the high-temperature and high-pressure gas will instantly expand and release power to the surroundings.
If there is no closed gas ring, these high-temperature and high-pressure combustion gases will spray out from the gap in the rear of the gun, directly burning the soldiers operating the artillery.
At this time, if an elastic material can be added to the tail of the gun, when the power of high temperature and high pressure from the gun is transmitted instantly, this elastic material can instantly twist and deform, thereby blocking those gaps in time.
In this way, the burning high-temperature and high-pressure gas cannot leak from the tail, so it can only change its direction and spray it all out from the muzzle.
In this way, the cannonball can naturally obtain more kinetic energy. This is actually the secret of the new generation of Krupp cannon, right?
To tell you the truth, someone in our research institute at the University of Ryukyu has already found the correct answer to this scientific research problem! The experiments are now being carried out in full swing!
