There are too many beauties in the villa, and the princesses can see them all, but the girl can’t finish them. Xiong Jing only stayed for less than an hour, and Gong Yindao came in and urged him in a ignorant way, not understanding at all that the king was very tired of handling official duties every day. Watching more flowers and plants is helpful to the health of the children.

"King, this thing may be done." In Jutie Mansion, the boss Yindao presented the thermocouple thermometer. "I tried tens of thousands of platinum pills, and the pointer could be turned."

He said, placing one end of the thermometer on the red iron block. At this time, the pointer of the original ammeter began to rotate. Xiong Jing looked at it for a long time before he found the problem - the pointer had no hairspring, so the scale could not be displayed.

"Is there a spring?" Xiong Jing said as he looked at the turning pointer.

"King, what is a spring?" Thermocouple thermometer is a masterpiece of Yu Mansion, so Yu Yin asked.

"That's..." Xiong Jing thought for a while and said, "Go and find a pimp with elasticity."

The pointer must be connected to an elastically stretched object to display the magnitude of the rotation force. The magnitude of the rotation force is proportional to the passing current, and the magnitude of the current is proportional to the measured temperature. One by one, the temperature is finally displayed on the dial by the pointer. It took more than an hour, with the assistance of Ou Chou, the scale of the thermometer was truly adjusted. Looking at this thermometer that surpassed the era for two thousand years, Xiong Jing really didn't know what to use for it.

"King, if this thing can be made more..." Temperature is closely related to quenching and hot rolling, but only one is useless, because less than a hundred craftsmen can quench, such as armor, swords, and spear tips, are all responsible for quenching. This quenching depends entirely on experience. In order not to be tired, these people only work for ten hours a day. Fortunately, the furnace is not one, and their only function is to judge the timing of quenching - mainly through the color of the iron block, dark red, dark red, and bright red is too much.

Although they do not understand the principle of quenching, craftsmen also know the relationship between quenching, tempering and hardness. The brighter the color (higher the temperature), the higher the hardness of the quenching, but too high the hardness may not be a good weapon, too hard, that is, too brittle. Only by choosing a color between dark red and bright red can a good weapon be quenched. Moreover, the giant armor should be dark red, the spearhead should be bright red, and the sword should be moderate. On the contrary, the lower the tempering temperature, the higher the hardness.

Practice makes perfect. If you quench it too much, you will naturally be able to grasp this degree. There is no need for any thermocouple thermometer. Besides, you can’t make more thermocouple thermometers. After trying tens of thousands of platinum, you can find such a useful one. There is no possibility of making it.

"You'd better keep it." Xiong Jing was a little discouraged. "You can try it and teach them."

"I thanked the king." Ou Chou said, if there was only one thermometer, it would be best for him to keep it.

"With it, high-speed steel will be built." Xiong Jing finally instructed.

Now the boring machine has found a solution: first cast a cylinder, and then scrape it with high-speed steel with propeller structure inside. The diameter of the propeller is approximately equal to the diameter of the cylinder, and the high-speed steel is installed on the outermost side of the blade. The most important thing is that the propeller can be backwards and backwards, so that it can scrape one round after scraping, until the entire cylinder is scraped.

"I accept the order." Ou Chou looked a little solemn. High-speed steel is not as good as giant armored swords. It is difficult to accumulate enough experience without enough quantity. If you lack experience, you will naturally be mixed. If you have a thermometer, it will be different.

"With high-speed steel..." Xiong Jing's eyes finally fell on Gongshujian. "You can build some mechanisms, use huge iron instead of wood, and then connect the water truck. Some items that cannot be made can be made, such as gears."

"I respect the order." Gongshujian also bowed deeply. Carpenters like machine tools are the most suitable. He has made some hydraulic woodworking machinery. Most of the wood used in shipyards is processed by hydraulic sawing yards.

"The iron smelting output is still too low." Xiong Jing remembered last year's plan: 4,000 tons of coke pig iron and 1,000 tons of charcoal pig iron. With the current output of magnitude A, 2,000 tons of magnitude Aluminum will consume in a year. The number of charcoal pig iron blast furnaces has been increasing, and ink furnaces are also increasing, but the supply is still insufficient.

"Report to the king, four new charcoal pig iron plants have been added this year, producing 2,000 tons of iron per year and 1,000 tons of huge iron. Last year, there were six charcoal pig iron plants, producing 3,000 tons of charcoal pig iron..." Iron official Kong Su reported.

"Not enough!" Xiong Jing shook his head when he remembered the 6,000 tons of giant iron mentioned by Feng Renjiu. "The charcoal pig iron plant requires at least twenty, with an annual output of 10,000 tons of charcoal pig iron and 5,000 tons of giant iron. These pig iron plants are all built in the Jiuzi area. Isn't there iron ore there?"

Five thousand tons to ten thousand tons, even the most optimistic people were surprised with such a large span. Ou Chou said: "The king, the one who spends the Giant Armor is the Giant Armor, but our Chu State has more than 300,000 soldiers, each with 60 kilograms, more than 5,000 tons, and 6,000 tons of Giant Iron is enough to produce 5,000 tons of Giant Iron annually..."

"It is necessary to build a city." Xiong Jing knew that the most expensive iron was needed to build armor, but even if all the soldiers were wearing armor, the consumption of only more than 5,000 tons of iron was only more than 5,000 tons. Of course, it costs more than 5,000 tons for each person to wear a pair of chain mail.

"I said that a city of forty miles requires 6,000 tons of huge iron." Gong Yindao was also in the Concrete Mansion just now.

"In addition to building cities, shipbuilding also needs to be used." The rails were not made. The rails were isomorphic and the keels could be made. Although they were not successful, they were not far from success. "I thought that after the army, the construction of the city and shipbuilding was urgently needed. The output of 5,000 tons might not be enough..."

"King, the 5,000 tons of Juti are just twenty pig iron factories and more than sixty molufangs. However, the iron ore coal mine charcoal needs to be increased several times, and there are no one in the building of the house." The building of Juti has been expanding, and now there are more than 100,000 people. The output of Juti has expanded, and charcoal and ore production will also increase, which requires more people to go into the mountains to log wood and burn charcoal, and more people to collect iron ore.

"Then pay for purchases." Xiong Jing suggested. However, he thought of the millet price on the market again. Now Chu has money, but because of insufficient war materials and insufficient money, there is inflation, so he dare not spend money and money. He said helplessly: "Three years, three years later, the output of giant iron will reach 5,000 tons."

"I remember the king's order." Gong Yindao and others also breathed a sigh of relief. Juti Mansion is the fastest expanded among all the mansions, and there are no more craftsmen. This year's Juti Mansion's production is only more than 2,000 tons. Doubled to 5,000 tons will definitely cause production chaos.

"Report to the king, Wei Shang is willing to go to Jiuzi to build an iron factory." When Xiong Jing was about to leave Juti Mansion, the iron official Kong Su reported.

"Wei Shang?" Xiong Jing thought of Bai Yi and those people and smiled in his heart: "If they want to come, come."

"Thank you," Kong Su and Kong Xiang, the iron merchant of Wei, had the same clan. Although they were each the masters, they still had feelings and friendship.

"But," thinking of the eighty army that was about to come, Xiong Jing smiled and said, "The eighty army of Qin, Wei and Han three kingdoms attacked me, are they willing to come?"

Only the ministers Yin Gong knew about the 800,000 troops of Qin, Wei and Han attacked Chu. Kong Su was shocked when he heard this and he was speechless until Xiong Jing left. Xiong Jing had known that Wei Shang was a group of people who were changing their responsibilities, so he would not mention this matter. On the way to the shipyard, Yin Dao, the boss, talked about selling the Jujia to Qi State again.

Qi State has always taken advantage of the opportunity of Qi and Chu Alliance to replace Qi's copper and leather armor with giant armor. However, hundreds of thousands of Qi's equipment cannot be replaced in one day. Qi State itself also has an iron smelting workshop. Taking into account the situation of its own iron smelting industry, the one who really wants to replace it is an elite army of about 100,000 people, which requires 50,000 sets of giant armor and 100,000 treasure swords.

The price of selling Giant Iron weapons in Chu is extremely expensive. The swords were sold to Yan State for three or four golds, and the Giant Armor was not sold at all. If you really want to sell them, the price of the order would be more than ten golds by weight. However, the Chu State is short of food and is fighting again. It is difficult to refuse to pay for the Chu State with corn, arrows, and horses.

"How much is the King of Qi going to pay?" Xiong Jing remembered that Qin was lobbying Qi to join Lianheng. At this time, promised the King of Qi might have the effect of stopping Lianheng of Qi.

"Five million stones of millet, twenty million arrows, and five thousand horses." Gong Yin said, "I never saw the world."

Gong Yindao said three times and stopped. Xiong Jing waited for a long time to see that he had finished speaking, and couldn't help but say angrily: "That's all! Want to change to 50,000 giant armor and 100,000 precious sword?"

"King, Chu Qi's marriage alliance is also the cost of a giant armor, and the cost of a treasure knife is not high. If..." Gong Yindao did not understand how much gold a treasure knife was sold abroad, so he only knew that the cost of building a palace was only a few hundred coins per piece, and the price of a giant armor was not much more expensive. Now the millet has increased to a hundred coins per stone, and five million stone of millet can be exchanged for about two million treasure swords.

"Let it go--!" Xiong Jing had to bear the word "five million stones of millet cost? It's amazing 50,000 yuan, 60,000 gold. The 100,000 treasure sword is worth three or four hundred thousand gold. The King of Qi wants 50,000 sets of giant armor?! Don't sell it!"

"Ah." Gong Yindao thought it was a profitable transaction, but he didn't expect that Xiong Jing would suffer a huge loss. When he was surprised, Xiong Jing was considering the domestic food and fodder and the Qin State lobbying. It was one thing to sell cheaper, and politics and diplomacy were another thing. Rejecting the Qi people's request was equivalent to pushing Qi to Qin State. If he did not refuse, he was worried that these soldiers would be captured by Qin State in the future. He seemed to remember that Qi State surrendered to Qin State in the end. In this way, selling or not selling is really a problem.

The boat left Yingdu and went through Huai River to the shipyard at the foot of Zijin Mountain. Before getting close to the shipyard, you could see the white steam overflowing from the cooking wood and the black smoke from the chimney. "dong, dong, dong...", with the rhythmic hammer knocking, Xiong Jing looked at the Shaosiming-level sea boat in the dock from afar.
