It was still the same team, escorting Ying Zheng and his five wives, heading towards Xianyang in a mighty manner.
In a few days, the accompanying craftsmen had almost finished grinding all kinds of ores obtained from Sima's old house.
Ying Zheng began to identify using black iron snails while sitting in the carriage.
After asking Li Si, Li Si said that he could let a few ladies know about the Xuan Tie Luo.
Nan Su and Hu Yu were both pregnant, so the carriage they were sitting on was the most stable. Ying Zheng plunged into this carriage with the black iron snail and several small bags of ore powder.
Ying Zheng opened the black iron snail, adjusted it to the compass state, and then lowered the compass pointer.
Nan Su and Hu Yu looked at the strange compass in front of them and couldn't help but become curious.
"Your Majesty, what is this?" Nansu asked.
"It seems quite fun." Hu Yu said while staring at the Black Iron Compass.
"Do you still want to have a few bites?" Ying Zheng said helplessly.
Hu Yu glanced sideways at Ying Zheng and said, "Your Majesty, you are bullying me again."
"Okay, okay." Ying Zheng said softly, "This thing is called a black iron snail, and it was something we found together next to the golden sword."
"No wonder it's so weird, it must be a treasure." Hu Yu said.
Something along with the golden sword must be a good thing.
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "After research, we found that it can help me find many minerals, and those minerals can be used to make magic weapons."
"Magic weapon?" Hu Yu became more energetic when he heard that it was related to weapons.
"Is it the 'my weapon' that the king once said?" Nansu asked.
"Exactly." Ying Zheng said with some pride, "You must have heard of the power of the divine weapon."
Hu Yu and Nan Su nodded.
I've only heard of it, but haven't seen it yet.
Thinking of this, Hu Yu said: "Your Majesty, when will you take me to see what that 'my weapon' looks like?"
Hu Yu would make this request, and Ying Zheng was not surprised at all.
Ying Zheng smiled and said, "Why, if you see that 'my weapon', you will still pester me for it."
With the lessons learned from Xuanyuan Sword, Ying Zheng must be cautious.
Hu Yu smiled and said, "Then the king will give it to Hu Yu, isn't it okay?"
The corner of Ying Zheng's mouth twitched twice and he said, "This is the only one in the world, what do you think?"
"Hmph!" Hu Yu seemed to be angry, "If you don't give it, I won't give it to you. Your 'my weapon' may not be as good as my Xuanyuan Sword."
"Give it to you, how can I ask the Jing family class to make more 'my weapons'." Ying Zheng said.
"That's right." Hu Yu said with a smile, "Then, Your Majesty, how about you make one for me?"
Ying Zheng: "..."
Seeing Ying Zheng's helpless look, Nan Su couldn't help laughing.
"To create a magic weapon, you must have corresponding minerals. I took out this black iron snail just to find those rare minerals." After saying that, Ying Zheng placed a few small bags of ore powder in the carriage. above the floor.
"You told me earlier, Your Majesty." Hu Yu said, "I am here to help you."
Ying Zheng smiled bitterly, shook his head, and said, "What can you do to help? If you don't cause trouble, it will be considered a help."
"Humph." Hu Yu turned his head.
Ying Zheng ignored her, opened a cloth bag, grabbed a handful of stone powder and placed it in the center of the compass.
He gently pressed the pointer of Xuantieluo again, and the pointer seemed to be activated, slowly turning in one direction.
"Moving?" Nan Su was quite surprised.
Hu Yu also squatted down and exclaimed in surprise: "Really! It can move on its own!"
It looks like you haven’t seen the market before.
Nansu saw the characters on the compass and asked, "Your Majesty, are these characters? Why are they so weird that I can't understand them?"
Ying Zheng said with a smile: "This, isn't it the Chinese language I told you about before?"
"Even if it's a Chinese text, nearly 30% of it is similar to the Chu text, not to mention the concubine.
If you have already learned Qin Wen, you will be able to recognize at least half of them. "Nan Su expressed his doubts.
"These characters all represent rare minerals. Didn't you see that they all contain gold characters or stone characters? If you break them apart, you will understand better." Ying Zheng explained.
Princess Nansu looked at it carefully again and said with a smile: "It's true, I really understand something."
Hu Yu also looked at the words curiously: "I also learned Qin Wen, and I will also try Zhao Wen."
"Just ask me which one you don't understand." Ying Zheng said, "I have already learned Chinese."
"Really?" Nansu said in surprise.
Ying Zheng nodded seriously and said: "My plan is to promote Chinese literature in Da Qin in order to inherit Chinese culture."
Nan Su thought for a while and said: "The king's decision is indeed wise. Now that the Great Zhou Dynasty has been destroyed, it is still destroyed in the hands of Qin State. All the countries have become independent states. If time goes on, they will inevitably become like the characters. Differences divide the country."
"So, the first thing I have to do is to promote Chinese culture around me." Ying Zheng said.
"Then my sister and I are the first to learn." Hu Yu said.
"What?" Ying Zheng teased, "Aren't you going to dance with your sword?"
"No delay." Hu Yu chuckled.
Ying Zheng: "..."
At this time, Nan Su was heard saying in surprise: "Why is there less powder?"
When Hu Yu heard this, he knelt down again and watched carefully: "It seems that there is really less."
Ying Zheng said disapprovingly: "If you want to find out the composition of this ore powder, of course you have to swallow it first. Once the powder is ground away, the result will come out."
"Not to mention, this really looks like a millstone." Hu Yu said.
"Then who is turning this millstone?" Nansu murmured.
Ying Zheng spread his hands and said: "I don't know why I care so much. I just know how to use it."
After experiencing many things, Ying Zheng's mentality has long since calmed down, and he will not dig into the corners to understand the principles.
At this moment, Xuantieluo's pointer suddenly slowed down, and then stopped there.
But there was at least half of the ore powder left on the compass.
What's going on? Is there something wrong?
Ying Zheng didn't have time to think too much and looked closely at where the pointer stopped.
What the pointer points to is the word "molybdenum".
"It seems that this ore is molybdenum ore." Ying Zheng pointed at the pointer of Xuantieluo and said.
"Molybdenum mine?" the two ladies said in unison.
"Not bad." After saying that, Ying Zheng wrote the word "molybdenum" on a piece of cloth with his pen and ink, and then tied the piece of cloth to the bag containing the ore powder.
But at this moment, the pointer of Xuantieluo slowly started to turn again, but this time in the opposite direction.
It doesn't seem to be broken.
The ore powder, again, is reduced little by little.
Ying Zheng thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is more than one main component of this ore, so the black iron snail reacted like this."
The two ladies didn't know what functions the black iron snail had. Of course, it was whatever Ying Zheng said.
However, Ying Zheng was really right.
After consuming the last bit of ore powder, Xuantieluo's pointer slowly stopped and trembled slightly.
The pointer points to the word "silicon".
"It seems that this other mineral is not a metal." Ying Zheng muttered.
"What kind of mine is that?" Nansu asked.
"The word on it is silicon." Ying Zheng said.
"Silicon?" Hu Yu asked, "What is that?"
Ying Zheng shook his head and said, "I don't know yet. Let's ask sir later. There are so many categories on this compass that no one can distinguish clearly."
"There's no need to find all these minerals to make that 'my weapon'." Hu Yu said, "Just find whatever is missing."
"That's right. The drawing that records the production method of 'My Vessel' has already pointed out what materials are needed. Just find the few missing items." Ying Zheng said.
"Then let's continue." Nansu said.
"Okay." After saying that, Ying Zheng squatted down, opened the second cloth bag, grabbed the slightly reddish powder in the bag, and placed it in the center of the compass.
In this way, along the way, Ying Zheng put the powders of more than twenty kinds of ores collected this time into the black iron compass and completed the identification.
Before approaching Xianyang, Yingzheng summoned Li Si to ride in the same chariot.
"Sir, this trip has been fruitful." Ying Zheng said with a smile.
"Yes, it's much better than expected." Li Si said.
Ying Zheng took out a brocade silk from his arms and handed it to Li Si.
Li Si finally opened the brocade and silk to look at it.
"This is the composition of the twenty-three kinds of ores that were harvested this time, and they were identified by black iron snails. Some of them are one kind, and some are two kinds." Ying Zheng said, "And the different ores identified, There are also duplicates. Anyway, all the categories are here.”
Li Si carefully read every word on the brocade.
"Your Majesty, do you have a pen?" Li Si asked.
"Sir, wait a minute." Ying Zheng took out his brush and handed it to Li Si, and then took out an inkstone for Li Si to grind ink.
Romance
Li Si placed the brocade silk on the ground, then took the brush and lay on the floor to examine it carefully.
I saw Li Si using the index finger of his left hand to click on each word. Occasionally when he encountered a word, he would draw a circle on it.
Seeing that Li Si was so serious, Ying Zheng couldn't bother him.
Not long after, Li Si finished proofreading the last word, and then wrote the circled words in the blank space under the brocade silk.
Ying Zheng took a closer look and felt that several of the minerals Li Si had written were somewhat familiar.
After finishing writing, Li Siyou pointed to the names of these minerals and read them one by one.
Li Si raised his head, handed the brush back to Ying Zheng, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."
"Sir, where does happiness come from?" Ying Zheng was a little confused.
Li Si pointed at the brocade silk and said: "Wei Chen has memorized the minerals needed to make the magic weapon, and then circled them one by one according to the brocade silk. The bottom ones are the minerals that can be replenished from the collected minerals. Missing minerals.”
Ying Zheng said happily: "So, a lot has been added?"
"It's all ready," Li Si said.
"All together?" Ying Zheng's eyes widened, "Haha, great."
"Now, you can make 'my weapon'." Li Si also said happily.
After Ying Zheng laughed a few times, he seemed to have thought of something and turned to ask: "Although we have gathered the materials, it is only a small amount of ore. We haven't found the location of those minerals yet."
"This is not difficult." Li Si said, "Now that the black iron snail has the memory of these minerals, it will be much easier to rely on it to find those minerals."
"Yeah, that's right." Ying Zheng nodded and said.
"What's more, the current ores are enough to build a few 'I-weapons'. It is also just a good time for Jingjia Ban to try his hand and become familiar with the process. Once all the required minerals are found, they can be used in large quantities. Forged." Li Si said.
The smile finally returned to Ying Zheng's face, and he grinned and said, "In that case, before returning to the city, I will go to Jing's class and make a few magic weapons to play with."
"It's also the right place to unload the ore we brought so that Lu Xiangbang won't be confused." Li Si said.
"Then go directly to Jingyao." Ying Zheng said.
After that, Ying Zheng ordered Zhao Gao to notify Meng Tian to stop and rest.
After Meng Tian rushed over, he came to Ying Zheng.
"Meng Tian, go talk to the Lu family brothers and tell them that I have something to do and need to go to Jingyao first, and ask them to return to the Lu Mansion first, and then ask Father Zhong to go to the palace to find me."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Meng Tian accepted the order and flew away.
Ying Zheng waited for Lu Wen and Lu Wu to lead the team into the city gate before heading towards Jing Kiln.
