Chapter 66
Facing Zhang Hao's question, Zhou Jue smiled confidently and calmly, "This matter is very simple. Since you are a dead man, you can't force him to die. That's exactly what they expected.
But what about keeping them alive? And is he alive and well?
When he enters, there are maids, and when he leaves, there are guards. He even received the conferment of His Majesty, becoming a high-ranking official, owning a mansion and beautiful family members. What do you think will happen to his relatives? "
Zhang Hao thought for a while, then suddenly shivered: "His relatives and friends will be killed!"
Zhou Jue nodded: "So, we made a deal, I guarantee that he will die, and he will die miserably; he will tell me all the news."
Zhang Hao suddenly didn't know how to describe his mood. That Zhuang Yunwen actually betrayed the information because he could 'die a miserable death'!
Zhou Jue also put away the smile on his face, and replaced it with emotion, "He has parents, a wife and children, and friends who can make friends with him. Therefore, he can only die. The more miserable his death, the worse his family and friends will be." Safe and even extra care.”
Zhang Hao was silent for a while, and said leisurely: "It's a man. Unfortunately, it's an enemy."
"Yeah, it's a pity." After a short pause, Zhou Jue said again: "Zhang Hao, so many things have happened, so I don't need to worry about things here. It's been so many years, and it's not bad for a few days."
Instead, Zhang Hao shook his head stubbornly: "I said five days, that's five days. If I really can't finish it, I will try my best."
Zhou Jue looked at Zhang Hao seriously for a while, then nodded solemnly: "Okay!"
Reputation and keeping promises are one of the fundamentals of business; if the Zhang family wants to rise, they must do this. This, no compromises.
Obviously, Zhang Hao's persistence was approved by Zhou Jue.
Therefore, Zhou Jue immediately decided to stay at Zhang's house; anyway, one day has passed, and there are still four days left. One meditation is over.
Zhang Hao continued to be busy until the next morning, when he did the initial tidying up. Zhang Hao was about to give an inspiring speech.
But someone came to report that Hussar General Wu Fanghai sent someone.
When we met, Shu Bennan first sent Yangshen Pill, and greeted Wu Fanghai on behalf of Wu Fanghai, and finally said solemnly: "Junior brother, the commander-in-chief said that the military order is like a mountain, the order of sixty days and five thousand tons of black iron will not be changed in the slightest!"
Before Zhang Hao could speak, the craftsmen around him quit.
Zhang Hao waved his hands, suppressed the anger of the crowd, and said to Shu Bennan firmly, "Brother, please tell the adoptive father and promise to complete it. If it cannot be completed, I will raise my head to see the foster father!"
Shu Bennan was stunned for a while, then patted Zhang Hao's shoulder: "Your temper is exactly... the same as the commander in chief. Do you need anything?"
"Yes, the Zhang family can't afford a second torment, and I don't want to have a second."
"I'll take this with you. Time is running out, so I'll take my leave first."
After Zhang Hao sent Shu Bennan away, he looked back at the angry craftsmen and shouted, "Are you angry?"
There was an uproar immediately below.
After a long time, Zhang Hao suppressed everyone's anger, and said again: "Since you are angry, you should work harder to produce.
It's not the Hussar General who attacked us, but the enemy from the Land of Canglan!
What does this mean? It means that the enemy is afraid of us and our production capacity. Therefore, we must use practical actions to tell the enemy that we are invincible!
The more frightened they are, the more dark iron we have to produce.
Arm our army with dark iron!
We may not directly participate in the war, but we must also contribute to this Eastern Expedition.
For every catty of black iron we produce, the frontline soldiers will have one more flying sword, one more arrow, and one more enemy can be killed! "
The anger gradually disappeared, replaced by firm eyes.
Everyone stopped talking, turned around silently, bowed their heads, and worked!
The sound of slogans, the sound of forging, and the roar of machines.
The first machine tools were fortunately spared damage.
Bai Xiaodong led a large number of skilled workers to open the machine tools, and to produce new steam turbines, new grinding discs, transmission belts, pulleys, bearings...
And Zhang Hao led Huang Mingshan and others to start researching... high-purity black iron.
I was supposed to study oil, but now I really can't find the time.
Huang Mingshan was the first to suggest: "Young master, if we use the best iron concentrate powder and high-grade spirit stone powder, we may be able to refine high-purity black iron. Even if it doesn't meet the standard, we can use water forging to forge it. .”
Zhang Hao smiled, "Huang Mingshan, I hope you can forget about water forging."
"what……"
Zhang Hao said seriously: "It's been so long, I think you can feel that what we are exploring is a method of directly using technology to solve problems, rather than using traditional methods for secondary processing.
I'm not against secondary processing, but I'm not for it. I hope that everyone can pursue higher efficiency and better technology from the bottom of their hearts.
Unless there is really no choice in the end, we will use water forging. "
Huang Mingshan stopped talking, and among the seven, Liu Ming, the youngest, said, "Master, I have an idea, whether it is a low-level spirit stone or a high-level spirit stone, there are impurities in it, and the impurities in the spirit stone are very difficult to get rid of." Yes. Then, can we use the spirit gathering array instead of the spirit stone?
We gather spirit energy through the spirit gathering array, and then inject it into the smelting furnace together with the air? "
Everyone immediately discussed it, and some even suggested that even the bamboo charcoal is not used, what about heating the charcoal directly to generate some kind of gas? Water heating can produce water vapor, will charcoal heating have a similar phenomenon?
When Zhang Hao heard this, his eyes immediately brightened. Although the idea of heating charcoal to extract 'steam' is a bit naive; but the charcoal is not completely burned, but it can produce carbon monoxide!
Zhang Hao doesn't know how to encourage growth; but if there is a wonderful brain hole, Zhang Hao will point it out!
The best way to teach is... to practice!
Real knowledge comes from practice!
If carbon monoxide can be used instead of charcoal, and spirit gathering arrays can be used instead of spirit stones, it should be possible to directly smelt ultra-high-purity black iron!
Luckily for Juling Formation, everyone has rich experience.
However, when charcoal was tested in a completely isolated environment, it naturally failed at the beginning.
The charcoal was heated using a closed iron gourd with only one small outlet; everyone worked hard for a long time, but they didn't get the desired effect.
Zhang Hao quietly opened a golden finger: How about making a small hole on the side of the gourd and letting in a small amount of air?
This is a dangerous experiment, but it can only be done without a sufficient chemical theory.
Anyway, everyone is a cultivator, even if you explode...you won't die~~~
Huang Mingshan and the others deftly added defenses to themselves and began to experiment. Then carefully adjusted, and finally a light blue flame appeared at the mouth of the gourd.
The flame was so weak, the light was dim, and it disappeared after a few flickers. But it shocked Huang Mingshan and others greatly.
"It really... can be done!"
Zhang Hao smiled and said nothing, he was thinking about how to start the experiment to test the air composition. Remember the best way, lime water?
While Zhang Hao was thinking, Zhang Han came in with a nervous expression, "Little brother, something is wrong. Just now there was a message from the City Lord's Mansion that the Eastern Kingdom of Taihua and the Kingdom of Canglan took the initiative to attack, a total of one million Elite attack.
The news now is: Jinyang's defense line has collapsed, and the 100,000 troops have been wiped out.
And this was news a day ago. "
