Only Changsun's face was full of anger, as if he was being heated by a furnace.
Although the results have not come out yet, he knows that there is a 90% chance that he will lose this bet.
Even so, he still hoped for a miracle and stared at the steel-making furnace motionlessly.
There was no sound from everyone at this time, except for Su Dingfang, who was strictly following Yang Fan's instructions to direct the work, and His Majesty Li Er's breathing that became somewhat heavy.
If Yang Fan's weird steel-making furnace could produce essence at once, it would be a major breakthrough.
As an emperor with a military background, of course he knew what this meant?
If this steelmaking company could produce tens of thousands of kilograms of steel a day, then every soldier in the Tang Dynasty would be equipped with indestructible weapons.
As long as the opportunity comes, he can use his army to destroy Goguryeo.
Complete what all previous emperors have failed to accomplish.
By then, he, the emperor, will surely become the emperor of the ages.
Of course, this open-hearth steelmaking method that has been tested by later generations did not fail His Majesty Li Er, not for a moment.
The iron ore melted into a mixture of red molten iron, which initially completed the heating and melting process.
The process of open-hearth steelmaking is usually divided into several steps: charging, heating, adding molten iron, melting, refining, deoxidation and tapping.
Now that the melting is complete, the next step is to carry out refining and deoxidation.
The main difference between iron and steel is the carbon content.
An iron-carbon alloy with a carbon content of 2% to 4.3% is called pig iron.
Steel is a general term for iron-carbon alloys with a carbon content between 0.02% and 2.11%.
The chemical composition of steel can vary greatly. Steel containing only carbon elements is called carbon steel or ordinary steel.
To refine it, of course the carbon content must be refined to the appropriate level.
This step requires higher furnace temperature and catalysis. At this time, the huge waterwheel on the side plays a role.
The waterwheel can not only perform simple hydraulic forging, but also provide power for the blower to increase the furnace temperature.
I saw a craftsman filling the furnace with coke and shouting to Su Dingfang: "Young Supervisor, the fuel has been filled!"
Su Dingfang looked at Yang Fanyi, got the signal, and waved his hand: "Start the water and start blowing the wind!"
Another craftsman obeyed the order and immediately pulled the trigger, and the waterwheel slowly started to rotate under the impact of the water flow.
The water in the diversion channel impacts the water retaining water, transferring the kinetic energy flowing down from the height to the water, and then the rotation of the waterwheel compresses the reciprocating motion of the bellows piston.
Accompanied by bursts of chirping and rattling wooden tools, air blew into the blast furnace from the air duct.
At first, the waterwheel could not rotate, the wind pressure of the blower did not supply oxygen to the furnace, and the coke in the furnace was not burning well.
As the waterwheel turned more and more, the oxygen supply in the furnace was full, and flames were vigorous and rushed straight to the bottom of the open furnace.
At this time, the temperature of the furnace increased instantly, and everyone standing far away could feel the scorching heat.
As the molten iron in the flat-bottomed furnace continues to turn, craftsmen standing aside add catalyst to the furnace from time to time.
The subsequent work was all based on the experience of the craftsmen, and was completed step by step according to the steps given to them by Yang Fan.
After deoxidation, Su Dingfang, who was watching from the side, said excitedly: "Sir, it's done! Come on, it's all been burned into molten steel, just like you said."

Before Yang Fan made any move, His Majesty Li Er suddenly stepped forward a few steps and asked in surprise: "Are you serious?"
Su Dingfang wiped the sweat from his forehead and nodded like a chicken eating rice: "Your Majesty, it's absolutely true!"
How could His Majesty Li Er endure it? He climbed up the tower next to the steel-making furnace. After climbing two steps, he remembered that all the courtiers were watching!
Once, I saw Yang Fan's teasing eyes. This kid was grinning and his eyes were full of smiles...
And everyone's eyes were full of strangeness.
Knowing that he was acting too impatient, His Majesty Li Er put on an old face and said with some embarrassment: "Well... how about we go out?"
Yang Fan laughed loudly and said disapprovingly: "Your Majesty, if you want to be indifferent, don't worry, if you lose the glass craftsmanship, the dividends from the glass business will be even less!"
His Majesty Li Er was exposed and said angrily: "This is simply (this chapter is not finished!)
Chapter 527: The outcome is decided
Is it okay? Am I someone who takes money so seriously? I am just anxious so that the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty can shed less blood in future battles. "
But secretly in my heart, I am the emperor, money is needed, and this kind of craft that changes the times also needs...
So, His Majesty Li Er could no longer care about the ceremony and climbed directly to the tower nearby. He wanted to witness the birth of the first furnace of steel with his own eyes.
The mellow Changsun Wuji was not far behind. He was more skilled than generals like Cheng Yaojin. He climbed up right after His Majesty Li Er.
Maybe he climbed too much and almost fell, which looked a little funny.
Yang Fan certainly knew the intention of Duke Zhao.
This old and cunning uncle must have seen the advantages of the open-hearth steelmaking method, and obviously wanted to take advantage of it.
However, he is destined to be disappointed.
So Yang Fan laughed and joked: "Zhao Guo, be careful as you get older. It's just steel, isn't it?"
Changsun Wuji, who had just climbed to the top of the tower, was extremely depressed when he heard this.
What does it matter?
Absolutely!
Their eldest son's family sells iron ore and iron tools, so they naturally have a clear understanding of the difficulty of steelmaking.
Not to mention directly making steel, just melting iron ore into iron, which requires many times more manpower and material resources than it does now.
Even so, there is very little iron coming out of the furnace at one time.
But now?
Yang Fan used this weird outfit to make a large furnace of steel without even burning the iron ore in a short period of time.
If such a craft cannot be learned, then the industry that his eldest son's family relies on for survival will be completely destroyed.
What kind of face do you need at this time?
Even Changsun Wuji was a little happy. Fortunately, Changsun Chong fought with Yang Fan and allowed Yang Fan to donate such advanced steelmaking technology.
If it was hidden, it would be really difficult for his grandson Wuji to snatch it openly.
As long as Yang Fan dedicated this manufacturing technology to the court, his eldest son, Sun Wuji, would be able to get it.
Changsun Wuji looked down from the observation port of the blast furnace. At this time, the steel in the furnace showed a charming orange-red color, even a little dazzlingly shiny.
He knew that the furnace should be tapping out soon!
As expected, after Yang Fan came up, Su Dingfang put on thick protective clothing, held a long-handled iron, and opened the trap door of the lower outlet of the blast furnace.

The orange-red molten steel rushes out happily...
The molten steel passes through a special tube and is directly injected into rows of molds. After cooling, it is cast into dark and shiny gun barrels.
By the time the molten steel flows in the furnace, these molds are almost completely filled.
Changsun Wuji was completely stupid!
Our largest iron-making operation only produces a thousand kilograms of raw iron per furnace.
But the guns displayed with so many molds must weigh at least several thousand kilograms!
You know, these are all fine steel!
With so many, his eldest son's family would have to concentrate their efforts for at least half a year before they could forge them.
Changsun Wuji pinched his big fist, and a burst of pain spread. He realized that he didn't do it. In the end, he could only ask in a trembling voice: "Wannian County, am I right? If I don't think so, at least these... It’s four to five thousand pounds, right?”
"With such a large amount of production, even if it is a Rong Lian Sheng, it would take ten and a half days to refine it. With so much, the entire Tang Dynasty could not produce much more than this in a year, and you have only used less than half of it. Jane, simply..."
Changsun Wuji didn't know what words to use to describe it.
Yang Fan smiled disapprovingly: "Zhao Guo, you will know later that this is just a routine operation!"
ahz.
Seeing Yang Fan pretending to be cool, His Majesty Li Er did not say anything to stop him.
Because he has already envisioned the future scene in which the Tang Dynasty's cavalry would trample all the foreign races.
All the ministers present were also stunned!
Yang Fanzhuang does have some principles for home decoration, and it makes you unable to refute.
Changsun Chong had obviously lost his mind and said hysterically: "Yang, this must be fake. How can steel be made directly? I don't believe it!"
Regarding Changsun Chong's unreasonable remarks, Yang Fan did not complain, but said calmly (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 527: The outcome is decided
Said: "It's true, if you test it, can't Changsun Shaojian not be able to lose?"
Yang Fan's words made Changsun Chong blush.
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but turn to Changsun. This grand duke of Zhao Guogong's mansion seemed to be a loser with no discernment.
Wouldn't it be uncomfortable for him to provoke Yang if he didn't want to offend anyone?
His Majesty Li Er also slowly recovered from the surprise.
Regarding Chang Sun Chong's work, he couldn't help but shook his head.
Compared with Yang Fan's calmness and composure, Changsun Chong is obviously far behind!
A big man can bend and bend, so why should he become angry even if he loses?
Hey, even if what Yang Fan's steel-making furnace produces is not good, it is still a great improvement on the iron-making process.
No, in order to let the eldest grandson rush to death, His Majesty Li Er turned to Cheng Yaojin and said: "Bie, go try these guns and see how hard they are!"
"No!" Cheng Yaojin responded, took out his gun, and walked towards the cooled barrel of the gun.
Picking up a gun from a mold, holding the gun in one hand and the gun in the other, Cheng Yaojin chopped it down hard.
With a bang, everyone saw sparks, but no marks were left on the barrel, but a large gap appeared on the knife.
It is obvious that the barrel of this gun is made of fine steel.
At this point, Cheng Yaojin couldn't bear it any longer, his eyes were a little blurry, his whole body was trembling with excitement, and his voice was trembling: "Your Majesty, this is the best steel. If all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty are worthy of this, The power will definitely beat the shit out of those disobedient aliens."

"I have been fighting with my old minister all my life with this knife, but I have never seen a sword that can compete with him. Now it has a gap. It's incredible!"
Regarding this question, Yang Fan knew that in order to ensure the quality of this batch of gun barrels, Yang Fan also specially added some trace elements.
Speaking of which, these gun barrels are not made of real steel, but are equivalent to later generations of steel alloys.
This must be much harder than steel alone, so he curled his lips and said: "In order to ensure the quality of the barrel, I added some special things to it. This hardness is not worth being too happy about!"
"Dang, from now on the court will have as much steel as they want as long as they follow my method!"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er was stunned for a long time, suddenly woke up, patted his thigh and shouted: "Okay, it's really good!"
His Majesty Li Er was so excited that his eyes were red.
How much steel is needed?
How could such words not shock him?
Then he turned to Yang Fan and said, "Please report to me the specific steps of this steel-making method carefully, and don't allow any omissions."
"No!" Yang Fan bowed and replied.
Originally, this steel-making method was deliberately presented to the court, but Yang Fan was not unhappy.
What's more, this kind of steel-making master is far inferior to his steel-making workshop in Junyangfang, so there is no need to miss him.
However, His Majesty Li Er was not like this. His Lingli eyes slowly glanced at everyone, his face hardened, and he said coldly: "This method will be the foundation of the imperial court from now on, and it will be passed down from generation to generation, and you are the ones who will do it this time." Witnesses and participants must be kept strictly confidential. If someone leaks it, don’t blame me for being unkind!"
Hearing this, everyone turned pale.
No one is stupid. Hands made of fine steel will definitely make those families who rely on steel for survival jealous.
I originally wanted to coerce the craftsmen here to disclose the manufacturing process, but it seems that this is not possible.
Yang Fan also quickly expressed his position: "Your Majesty, please rest assured. Although this method is not perfect, the important links are all made by me personally. Even a craftsman only knows it but does not know its reason. I will never leak this method, but please rest assured, Your Majesty." .”
"Your Majesty, it's cool here. Let's sit in the barracks with my subordinates for a while. You'd better do justice to me."
Yang Fan was not considerate and worried that His Majesty Li Er would not tolerate it, but was afraid that Changsun Chong would be dishonest by refusing to fulfill the bet.
After all, building a two-navigation ship requires hundreds of thousands of tons of iron ore. Even if the eldest son's family is wealthy, it is not easy to come up with it.
Even if you can get it, it will definitely be very painful.
Hearing that, His Majesty Li Er didn't say anything, it was acquiescence that it was indeed very hot in this ironmaking workshop.
Yang Fan led the way and led several elders (this chapter is not finished yet!)
Chapter 527: The outcome is decided
Lead to the value room.
As soon as His Majesty Li Er saw it, he felt a cool breath blowing against his face, and the heat all over his body suddenly disappeared.
After looking around, His Majesty Li Er's face darkened.
Because he saw a huge ice cube placed at each corner of the room, emitting air-conditioning.
Since no one was there for most of the day, most of the ice cubes melted!
Li Er secretly thought that this boy was too good at enjoying things and was more comfortable than him as the emperor.
You haven't entered the cool world yet, so why are you so prodigal?
….

Besides, why are people wasting ice cubes here?
You should know that the ice cubes stored by the imperial court last year have not yet been collected, and the palace has not yet begun to supply them.
Even though there are shops selling ice in the market, the prices are shockingly expensive. Which official would dare to be so extravagant?
His Majesty Li Er said in a bad tone: "You are the only one who can use this ice?"
Mom, I asked you to do it, but you come here to enjoy it. It is simply more comfortable than him, the emperor.
Yang Fan did not realize the danger, shook his head and said: "No, as long as it is the department I am responsible for and the craftsmen who work, it is not appropriate to place ice in the steelmaking workshop just now, so it seems very hot..."
From Yang Fan's point of view, if he does it for him, of course he will enjoy the best treatment.
Besides, it doesn’t cost much to do it yourself.
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, Yang Fan was kicked to the ground by His Majesty Li Er.
His Majesty Li Er said angrily: "I have been strictly urging you not to be extravagant in the palace and to save money. You pour, one, four such expensive ice cubes at one time, and not for most of the day. It is simply extravagant and wasteful." "
The reason why this happened was of course not just because Yang Fan used ice.
It's because the lowly craftsmen all have ice cubes, but as the emperor, he hasn't opened it yet. How can he not be angry?
Being kicked was nothing serious, but Yang Fan felt aggrieved!
Then he looked back at Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin... and blinked aggrievedly.
The meaning is obvious!
Why is this emperor so crazy? Why is he always kicking people?
What’s more, we are still heroes!
