Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Materials science is an important basis for technological advancement and realization. Even if the world has the magical power of nurturing, it is inevitable to study more suitable materials in the end.

After all, the level of warming determines the upper limit of the original material, and what provides this upper limit is the characteristics of the original material itself, just like most wood, no matter how warmed it is, its strength cannot exceed that of steel with the same degree of warming.

Of course, for different materials, it is not impossible for highly temperature-cured wood to be stronger than steel, but the time and energy required to invest in it, as well as the upper limit of itself, all need to be considered. For all materials, the more basic properties Obviously, the characteristic is stronger after warming.

In other words, the higher the basic strength, the higher the strength after warming. This is why Chen Xi must make technical reserves. Alloys are still very useful.

Chen Xi looked at Pu Yuan. He can guarantee that these people will give up the idea of ​​continuing to create new alloys after finding no results in short-term experiments. Instead, they will continue to devote their energy to the existing materials for deeper research. .

This belongs to another line of thinking, that is, to advance the original technology to a higher level. Even if it is the same ordinary steel, there are some people who have played tricks on carbon steel.

However, this method has an end after all. Just like the steam engine route and the internal combustion engine route, continuing to develop on the steam engine route can indeed be optimized to a certain extent and improve transmission efficiency, but the internal combustion engine can go faster. , surpassing the steam engine in a short time.

"Is there a finished product?" Chen Xi felt that it was better not to express dissatisfaction directly, and said to Pu Yuan with the same flat expression as before.

Pu Yuan nodded, and asked people to quickly fetch a batch of long swords that were only wrapped in flannelette at the head. The length of about 1.2 meters was already a long sword that was far beyond the normal level.

Generally speaking, when using a long sword of this level, it is very likely that the sword is too long and the structure is unreasonable, and then it is cut off from the center of the spine by a sword, and when the sword is too long to cut, The force on the front and rear is likely to break from the middle.

"Zhongkang, come and try." Liu Bei took this strange long sword, tried it twice, and handed it to Xu Chu. Although Liu Bei's swordsmanship is not bad, if it is evaluation materials, it should be handed over to Xu Chu. It is more appropriate.

Xu Chu didn't have any extra words, and the one who took the long sword waved it casually twice, and a strong explosion sound appeared directly on both sides of the blade, then nodded slightly, and then took his saber and the long sword handed by Pu Yuan After touching it, his expression became serious.

"The steel blade of manganese steel?" Chen Xi squinted his eyes and looked at the gap. Manganese steel is currently the strongest in terms of strength and sharpness, and of course it is also the most brittle, but the toughness of this sword is very good. It cannot be all manganese steel.

"Yes, manganese steel blade, and nickel steel sword spine." Pu Yuan nodded, this is his recent proud work, and more importantly, this technology can be popularized.

If Puyuan alone can make it, then it’s nothing. Puyuan himself is the strongest swordsmith in the world. Swordcasting and knife making are within Puyuan’s ability. The long sword, even if it is a serious sword, the Excalibur is possible.

Chen Xi nodded. To a certain extent, Chen Xi admitted that this technology can fool him. After all, material science is only one aspect. What Chen Xi wants is new technology, whether it can be used now or in the future. New technologies are possible.

Although Pu Yuan's technology can only be used on some weapons, for Chen Xi, it is good to use some of them, and how to adjust the ratio of manganese steel and nickel steel is also of great value for in-depth research .

As for other alloys, it definitely needs to be studied, but this can be told to these people when they leave, there is no need to make it clear at this time.

Face still needs to be given. After all, in terms of production, the Bingzhou Smelting Department is still very qualified, so there is no need to let these people down.

"The produced waste gas has been melted into the water. How much has been stored?" Chen Xi silently changed the subject and asked, without any intention of continuing to pursue the alloy.

Hearing this, Pu Yuan looked very serious. He didn't make alloys, or he didn't have the heart to make alloys mainly because he was researching sulfuric acid, because this thing is so interesting.

"I have collected a lot, but this thing is quite dangerous, and such a sword will be easily melted." Pu Yuan sighed and said, "We have had many accidents around this thing in the past two years, there have been explosions, and there have also been explosions. People were burned."

"Burn?" Chen Xi raised his eyebrows, which was very professional. It was obvious that concentrated sulfuric acid was produced, and then a new attempt was made there.

"Yes, we have made a lot of attempts, and of course we have also researched some new usages." Pu Yuan said seriously, "We use this thing to wash the ore, and some of the slag left behind will be worthy of our research. thing."

When he said this, Pu Yuan's expression became a lot more excited. It's not that people like Xinalloy can't be piled up, it's just that they are not interested in this aspect, and their minds are all on researching sulfuric acid. Adjustments and research were made on the recipe.

Chen Xi nodded silently when he heard the words. The ore here contains a lot of things. Pyrite is one aspect, and there are some other ores, but they are mixed together and it is difficult to deal with them. If the cost of sulfuric acid is not considered, some other metals can definitely be washed out by pickling.

These metals are basically one of the basic materials used to make alloys.

"In other words, I have already started to try to use these things." Chen Xi rubbed his chin. People from the Central Plains are also very capable of making troubles. Based on the current situation, Pu Yuan should have already made some achievements in the chemistry department. a substitution reaction.

In other words, it's not that new materials have not been produced, but only at the level of the laboratory. To a certain extent, it can be considered a success.

"After some materials are added, the prepared steel will have very strange effects, and the gas produced after the reaction between dilute sulfuric acid and steel is collected by us and used as combustion consumables. After pressurized and flamed, the power is very dependent. Spectrum." When Pu Yuan said this, he was quite excited, obviously he had already tried it.

"Oh, I roughly understand." Chen Xi nodded. Playing with fire is unavoidable for normal people. Many things have a sense of beauty when burned, and humans can even burn things with excitement. I feel that Pu Yuan probably also committed this kind of situation.

"Is there a finished product?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

Pu Yuan nodded, and asked someone to go back to his place to bring over his newly forged swords. At this time, Chen Xi really couldn't tell whether the swords were good or not, so he could only leave it to Xu Chu to feel, and Xu Chu was simple. After trying a few times, he knew that the casting level of these swords far exceeded the saber he was currently using.

"It seems that you have basically mastered what to add." After Xu Chu told Chen Xi his judgment, Chen Xi, who was originally calm, had a natural smile on his face.

There is no doubt that it is the same as Xiang Lishi who doesn't know what antimony is. For these people, they only need to know where I add the ore and what kind of material can produce what kind of results. What, doesn't matter.

Pu Yuan was a little confused by Chen Xi's call from you, and he didn't know how to answer. He came here just to get local materials to make swords, and he was mixed up to the level of management only because there were very few people who knew metal smelting. Pu Yuan He is one of the senior talents, and he is doing research in Bingzhou, so he was forcibly recruited there.

But Pu Yuan thought that he hadn’t done much in the past few years. In Pu Yuan’s opinion, blast furnace smelting had nothing to mention. It was much more reliable than his previous method of frying steel. Even if the quality is not as good as the molten steel produced by myself, the victory lies in the large quantity.

Coupled with the miraculous method of returning to the furnace to remake, Pu Yuan believes that indigenous steelmaking is a very good technology, especially adding other things to it during alloy smelting is an eye-opener for Pu Yuan, so Pu Yuan At most, Yuan is to help manually adjust the ratio of materials.

As for the design and adjustment of the first-line steel furnace, those workers are better than Pu Yuan, there is no way, after all, the factory clearly stipulates that as long as the steel furnace is adjusted and the members who really improve the efficiency, they will be rewarded.

Therefore, the front-line smelting workers also stared at the blast furnace and found an improved place. The bonus given out was enough to eat and drink for the whole family this year.

So Pu Yuan only needs to hand over the ratio that he made on his side to other people, and then let them adjust the ratio by blast furnace steelmaking.

After all, laboratory preparation and industrial preparation are two different things. Although there will inevitably be problems from laboratory to industrial preparation, which will lead to the destruction of a furnace of steel, but the finished steel can also be used to produce agricultural tools. After all, this is steel.

It's just that later Pu Yuan became obsessed with the pickling method, washed a lot of ore with sulfuric acid, and finally washed out a lot of special metals, and then added these metals to steel on his own site to make new alloys, and finally cast them Into the sword.

To a certain extent, Pu Yuan has already completed the formula for alloy preparation. After all, the materials that can be used to cast swords are relatively reliable in terms of strength and toughness, but Pu Yuan uses the pickling method. .

To put it simply, I can make it in my laboratory, but I can't do it industrially, and the material ratio is also available, but how do I mine this part of the additive and how to obtain it is a big problem.

"Is there a ratio? I remember that the ratio should be recorded." Chen Xi looked at Pu Yuan and asked bluntly.
