Lord of the People: I Rely on Cheating To Fight For Hegemony Chapter 1052

Chapter 1052 Breakthrough in iron smelting technology

Although the battle of the seven princes in the Eastern Continent was in full swing, Qu Mao didn't pay special attention to the progress of the war, as if it didn't happen.

On the contrary, Kong Ming has some new ideas. Yihou Territory has been researching gunpowder for nearly eight months, and the application of gunpowder is becoming more and more mature. However, Kong Ming has never made a breakthrough in the research direction of artillery and muskets provided by Qu Mao because of the problem of materials.

The Shacheng town group built by the Yihou Territory on the edge of the desert in the northwest of the Jiliehou Kingdom, an independent territory in the Eastern Continent, has been in operation for more than half a year. There have been many innovative technologies in the iron smelting process, so Kong Ming wanted to invite Qu Mao to go to Jiliehou together. Take a look at Guosha City.

Qu Mao himself also got the iron ingots he smelted from the iron ore mined in Shacheng, Jiliehou State, and compared this iron ingots with the iron ingots mined from the wild resource mines. Qu Mao also thought that the smelting in Shacheng The quality of the iron ingots produced is far superior to the iron ingots mined from wild resource mines.

Originally, Qu Mao thought that he was studying business in another world, and he was still a business freshman who was just dawdling. He had no technical background in iron smelting, but Kong Ming invited him, and Qu Mao felt that it was okay to go and have a look.

Although it takes at least six days to a week to go back and forth between Yidao and Jilie Houguo Shacheng.

Kong Ming insisted that after field visits to Shacheng's iron smelting technology, it will definitely help the gun barrels and barrel materials that are stuck in the research and development of artillery.

Qu Mao felt that it would be good to know the specific results of the battles of the seven vassal states in the Eastern Continent after a visit to Shacheng, the Marquis of Gillette, so Qu Mao agreed to Kong Ming's request and decided to take action immediately.

At 3:00 p.m. on January 2nd in the sixth year of Tianxuan, although the war between the seven princes in the inverted U-shaped area on the Eastern Continent did not start until 5:00 a.m., Qu Mao still brought Kong Ming and 1,000 fifth-tier palace guards together, Board a warship specially provided by the Navy from the civilian pier outside the Isle of Easy Fisherman's Village.

The route planned by Qu Mao and Kong Ming is to go to Wucheng Port first. After landing in Wucheng Port, they will pass through the territory of Jierhou Kingdom and Bertierhou Kingdom, and then directly enter the Jiliehou Kingdom.

This trip to Wucheng Port, the navy did not arrange heroes to drive warships or lead the fleet for Qu Mao and Kong Ming. After all, all naval heroes are currently being oppressed by Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp to train marines everywhere. , naval magician and naval land long-range attack fighter.

Therefore, sailing from Yi Island to Wucheng Port requires at least one day and one night of sailing time at sea. This is because the captains of the navy have basically learned the night navigation skills of Sylvia Ocean and Fuer Swamp. .

Going from Wucheng Port to Shacheng in the northwest area of Jilie Hou Kingdom basically takes two days and one night of continuous marching time. When thinking about the marching time, Qu Mao misses the way of transportation in another world very much.

The Continent for Hegemony is really too big. The Eastern Continent alone is not necessarily smaller than the entire land area of the other world. Whether it is transmitting information or traveling, it often takes several days, which makes Qu Mao very depressed.

Fortunately, the journey to Wucheng Port went smoothly. At around noon on January 6, the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Kong Ming had already arrived at Shacheng in the northwest area of the Marquis of Gillette. The uninterrupted march along the way made Qu Mao and Kong Ming It's miserable, even with the game-based fatigue setting, it will take at least a day and a night for the 1,000 fifth-tier palace guards to recover.

Qu Mao and Kong Ming decided to leave 1,000 fifth-tier court guards in Shacheng to rest. They also stayed in Shacheng with Kong Ming for one afternoon and one night. The next day, they went alone to Iron Village, 5 kilometers northwest of Shacheng. The iron smelting workshop in Shacheng is located in Iron Village, which is the closest to the iron mine in the desert.

In the early morning of January 7th in the sixth year of Tianxuan, Qu Mao and Kong Ming each rode a war horse, and soon rushed to Iron Village. Within a certain range around Shacheng, they were all specially built by Yihou Territory in the Marquis of Gillette. There are town clusters, so you don't have to worry about any security issues.

Before eight o'clock in the morning, Qu Mao and Kong Ming rushed to Iron Village, less than five kilometers northwest of Shacheng. From mining iron ore, to crushing iron ore, to mixing charcoal into the furnace, and to lighting the fire and blowing the wind, Finally, the iron casting and forging of iron ingots, a whole set of crafts are carried out in the iron village. There are no land farming personnel in the iron village, but a group of iron smelting craftsmen are working hard.

Kong Ming walked around Tiecun all morning with great interest, and Qu Mao also gave some specious and ambiguous suggestions on the heating of railways, forging iron to remove impurities, and water extraction to strengthen hardness, etc., for Tiecun iron craftsmen to try.

Regardless of whether the information given is right or wrong, Qu Mao is a complete layman for iron smelting, but the quality of iron ingots smelted by Iron Village is higher than that of iron ingots directly mined from wild resource mines, which means that Iron Village's iron smelting Craftsmanship goes far beyond the Holy Land of Yihou Territory.

As a scumbag studying business in another world, Qu Mao is not even qualified to evaluate the iron smelting process, but this does not mean that Qu Mao judges the quality of the finished product. According to the quality of iron ingots produced by Tiecun, it may really help Qu Mao made qualified artillery barrels or musket barrels.

As long as you give a suggestion, no matter who finally researches it, Qu Mao will be rewarded with some cheat value, and generally there are not a few.

Kong Ming didn't enjoy watching it all morning, so he asked Shacheng City Lord and Tiecun Village Chief to select five most skilled ironsmiths from different crafting lines in Tiecun, and relocate their families back to the Holy Land.

Pitiful for these craftsmen families with relatively high skills, it took about half a year to move from the Holy Land to Shacheng, and the whole family would have to move back to the Holy Land again, because Kong Ming suggested that Qu Mao set up a major in iron smelting in the Zhidao New Technology Research University. The five most skilled craftsmen went back, nothing more than letting them serve as professors in the school.

Qu Mao immediately proposed to expand the establishment of iron smelting majors in Zhidao New University of Science and Technology to at least three universities to offer iron smelting majors. After all, there is competition to make rapid progress.

Combining the Magic Medical University opened by the Magic Army on Zhidao, the Holy Land of Yihou Territory already has 37 universities, and Qu Mao has no plans to add another university.

The whole morning in Tiecun inspired Kong Ming to adopt some more effective methods of casting and forging gun barrels and gun barrels. Qu Mao fully recognized Kong Ming's new ideas and encouraged Kong Ming to return to the Holy Land for experiments as soon as possible.

In fact, on January 7th, Qu Mao reckoned that the battle in the inverted U-shaped area of the Eastern Continent had already been completed, so he didn't stay long, and took Kong Ming back to the Holy Land of Yihou Territory. As for the five craftsmen, they got Let the heroes stationed in the Marquis of Gillette arrange for the manpower to be sent back to the Holy Land.
