Mythical Version of the Three Kingdoms

Although Chen Xi often ridicules Liu Ba as a scumbag, and is always ready to take advantage of Liu Ba after Liu Ba collapses, but in fact, Liu Ba's level is one of the few wise men in history. This guy does not agree with Chen Xi In fact, there is only one economic thinking in China - too much for the people.

In Liu Ba's view, there is no need to give so much to the people. Even in Liu Ba's view, it is unnecessary to promote mien and fight mien. The most meaningful thing is to produce the greatest effect.

Chen Xi gave too much, so much that if the money is returned to the country, the country as a whole will develop faster. As for the future that Chen Xi said, in Liu Ba's view, we must grasp the present first, and then talk about the future. Significance, whichever is more important, at least score.

Therefore, in Liu Ba's eyes, Chen Xi's ability to achieve this level can only be said to be admirable because of Chen Xi himself, not that the development of this system has been expanded to the limit.

This is also why Liu Ba said that Chen Xi is much better than him, and at the same time he is engaged in economic construction according to his own ideas. Liu Ba can't help it. He doesn't have the ability of Chen Xi. Isn't it the rhythm of the end to develop according to Chen Xi's way? ?

So Liu Ba chooses to delineate key points for development, so as long as it is something that is really important, Liu Ba will not rely on his own cognition to improve the so-called efficiency, so Liu Ba is really not messing around with the smelting department.

Weapons and battle armor affect the national power. Liu Ba knows that he is not as good as Chen Xi, so naturally he will not test his ability in these aspects. If he makes a mistake, he will not suffer.

Therefore, what Chen Xi stipulated at the beginning, what Liu Ba implemented. At least in terms of process, development direction, and management system, Liu Ba basically did not change. Alloy preparation is the future direction, and research needs to sacrifice a certain amount of production efficiency.

Combining the current war situation that still has an overall strategic advantage, Liu Ba can accept this sacrifice of the current development model.

The guys who can sit in this position are all talents that are unique in a million. What we pay attention to in troubled times is that the capable people live there, and the prosperous times only pay attention to the virtuous people.

The core point of the collapse of the prosperous age to the chaotic one is not that the people who steal high positions, because selfishness promotes the unvirtuous and incompetent guys, and makes the capable ones unable to expand, the accumulation of time leads to the total outbreak of conflicts, and finally the prosperous age collapses, the dynasty The periodic law is at work again.

In the current period, the guys who can take the position are strong enough, not to mention other things. Even the guys who were cleaned up by the supervision department formed by Ting Weimanchong before, are really capable enough. It can only be said that those people committed other crimes. The problem is not lack of ability.

Liu Ba attaches great importance to the Bingzhou Smelting Department, and even if possible, Liu Ba would like to replicate a Bingzhou Smelting Department under Cao Cao's rule, because Liu Ba, who has witnessed the construction of a prosperous city from scratch, understands that this system may be more powerful than Long The land of prosperity is more important.

It's just that some things cannot be solved by patchwork, and Liu Ba can only drool while looking at it, but has no way to fully copy it.

Therefore, from the management, to the planning, to the future development of the entire Bingzhou Smelting Division, Liu Ba is trying his best to do his best. At least it is impossible for Chen Xi to find the flaws once he glances over. That is to say, the problem Chen Xi was worried about at the beginning It's not a problem. It can only be said that Liu Ba has really devoted all his energy to this aspect if he can continue to produce high yields.

This is the result that Chen Xi is most satisfied with, because achieving this level is equivalent to the result that a top-level wise man can only achieve with his best efforts. Even if there is a problem, it is not a problem with the manager's mentality, but beyond the range of the manager's ability.

Just like now, according to Liu Ba's regulations at that time, Pu Yuan asked someone to bring over the secret recipes he had accumulated during casting and smelting. After Chen Xi read it, the blood vessels on his forehead became thicker.

"Well, can I ask, how much is this little?" Chen Xi pointed to the content in the notebook, and asked Pu Yuan with a stiff smile.

"Probably so much." Pu Yuan recalled for a while, and then gestured with his hands. To be honest, Pu Yuan couldn't remember what the earliest formula was. one thing.

Chen Xi covered his forehead, and looked at Pu Yuan twitchingly, this time he didn't pay respect, and looked at Pu Yuan with a smile, "Master Pu, let me ask, what is their ratio? , This one grinds gemstones into fine powder and adds them to the furnace, may I ask what kind of gemstones and how much to add?"

Looking at these records, Chen Xi really broke down. If there were no finished products, Chen Xi would want to scold people now. Are you called experimental preparation records? I want to hit someone, you know that? You have made such a thick stack of records, and the result is this kind of thing, how should I use it?

The purpose of Chen Xi's doing this is as a technical reserve, so that people can understand it, but your recording method can only be used as a verification direction.

"I have gems here. I have been researching this recently. I think this is a very promising development direction." Pu Yuan may have sensed Chen Xi's faint anger, and said quickly, and even took it out of the pocket beside him. A few shiny gems.

As for the previous ratio, Pu Yuan has almost forgotten it in the early days. Anyway, the habit of swordsmiths is to rely on the feel and experience. When I cast it, when I add it, my feel is enough. The rest is up to God.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the gemstones that Pu Yuan took out, none of them were too big, and the quality was not bad, but he glanced at Liu Tong and the others beside him, and he knew that gemstones of this level were of no use to those four guys. attraction.

Chen Xi stared at the gemstone in Pu Yuan's hand for a while, but he realized what it was. It was indeed a gemstone, but if Chen Xi remembered correctly, it should be called peridot.

The problem is that olivine has nothing to do with alloys, well, olivine has cobalt in it.

Thinking of this, Chen Xi reluctantly remembered that when this material is added to steel, a very good alloy can be produced under the right ratio.

But then Chen Xi realized that according to Pu Yuan's ratio, such a little cobalt would not produce the intensity he recorded at all.

"Are you sure it's this kind of gemstone?" Chen Xi scratched his head. The cobalt alloy is really excellent. It is much better than Chen Xi's current earth steel, but the cobalt element in peridot is not enough to play with. If you want to say, it may contain more manganese than cobalt.

"Usually I crush this kind of gem together with this one." Pu Yuan looked for the ore base and put them together and said.

Chen Xi scratched his head, what the hell is this, an associated mine? Associated mine of olivine? Who knows what it contains, it feels a bit like iron ore.

"What kind of ore is this?" This time it was really beyond Chen Xi's ability, "Is there any refined product?"

"It can't be refined. It feels similar to iron, but it is much stronger than iron. I usually throw it into my furnace as an additive." Pu Yuan said awkwardly. Although he didn't know what it was, he added it It can increase the strength, so Pu Yuan added, "But this thing is thrown in with these gems, and the thing that comes out is very strong."

"Where did you get this thing?" Chen Xi had a headache. He didn't have the ability to distinguish ore, and he couldn't determine what was in it. It felt like iron ore, but it was too shiny. Iron ore can't grow like this.

However, the magnet works to prove that this thing must be a kind of iron ore.

"It's on the side of the Hexi Corridor." Pu Yuan said very naturally, "Someone pulled a boat over there as ballast, and there are some gems in it. I think this thing can make good things, so I tried it. , the result is not bad."

Pu Yuan's answer made Chen Xi support his forehead. This is really a thing full of all kinds of mystical feelings, but it's a bit familiar under the Northland.

"I remember." Chen Xi pondered for a moment after hearing the words, and finally realized what it was. This is chromite, which belongs to the truly heaven-defying level. It is an associated mineral of olivine, used as an additive Into the steel, the strength of the steel will be greatly improved.

To be honest, Chen Xi was able to fish out this alloy from his mind, thanks to Xiang Lishi, who made chrome-plated swords for Daqin. I won’t say the extent of this technology, but so far, Xiang Lishi Richter produces all antimony alloys, not chromium alloys.

The reason is simple. Xiang Lishi couldn't find the ore used by his ancestors, so he changed to an alloy method that could be realized. Anyway, antimony alloy is also very useful.

Xiang Lishi knew that when his ancestors were engaged in chrome plating, they used the mines in the Hexi Corridor, that is, the mines in Gansu in later generations, but the location is unknown, and they offended people hundreds of years ago. Take it out, and you can't find it.

Chen Xi knew that what Xiang Lishi wanted was chrome ore, but Chen Xi didn't know what it looked like and couldn't find it. In fact, Xiang Lishi couldn't find it himself.

So this matter is over, and everyone will not mention it, because they can't find it. Antimony alloy and manganese alloy have great advantages now, and there is no need to upgrade to higher gadgets.

If he hadn't met Pu Yuan today, Chen Xi would never have guessed that this is the so-called chromite ore.

But then Chen Xi remembered more applications of this thing, although at this time Chen Xi also remembered that what Richter used might be lead chrome ore, and this is chromite, but it doesn't matter, the former is used to smelt bronze Adding attributes, this is a good thing for steelmaking to add attributes.

After all, the range of applications of gadgets is really wide. The CR steel of later generations is an ordinary carbon steel product with this added, and its strength can be said to be against the sky for this era.
