Live streaming life: The ancients begged not to stop

"Let the Ministry of Industry take a look and pick out the useful ones."

Let's start by refining a furnace. First, build a blast furnace. Use some refractory materials as the lining of the furnace, and add limestone, coke, and iron ore powder from the top.

[The fan at the bottom blows air in, igniting the coke, and finally producing molten iron.]

[Of course, you can also choose the more advanced converter steelmaking method, which involves building a rotating blast furnace and pouring molten iron into it. It doesn't require any additional equipment, and is simply blown by a blower.]

[However, this type of iron ore must be low in phosphorus, otherwise the iron produced will be brittle.]

In the late Qing Dynasty, Zhang Zhidong imported foreign technology and built a steel mill. However, because he chose the wrong blast furnace at the beginning, he failed to produce steel suitable for guns and cannons. This should be a warning to everyone.

Great Qin.

The disciples of Mohism carefully recorded the information on the sky screen. At that time, they did not have blast furnaces for iron smelting, and their knowledge of ore was relatively limited.

However, they have strong hands-on skills. They have built a model based on the appearance of the blast furnace that appeared on the sky screen and are just waiting for the ore to arrive to start the experiment.

Datang.

Li Shimin asked the Minister of Works to make arrangements quickly. If there was more steel, he would organize another black-armored cavalry to wipe out the Khitan and never let them run rampant again.

Fortunately, the Turks and Khitans could not see the sky, otherwise it would be difficult to deal with them.

Qing Dynasty

Zhang Zhidong looked at the half-built Hanyang Iron and Steel Works and felt very bad. Someone had mentioned that there was something wrong with the blast furnace before, and he refuted it by saying that the Qing Dynasty had everything.

I didn’t expect that I made the wrong choice.

He had already thought that in a few days, the memorials would arrive on the emperor's desk like snowflakes, or that some unwilling royal noble would go to the empress dowager to make trouble.

This is how to do ah.

Just as Zhang Zhidong had guessed, the impeachment memorial against him was placed on Guangxu's desk early the next morning, and many censors demanded that Zhang Zhidong be held accountable.

Some people also hope to hand over the Hanyang Iron and Steel Works to the Manchus for management.

Emperor Guangxu had no idea what to do. He subconsciously wanted to ask Empress Dowager Cixi, but the power in his hands was hard-won.

What's the difference between asking about everything and being a puppet yourself?

"Send Prince Gong as the Imperial Commissioner to Hanyang to investigate this incident."

Empress Dowager Cixi asked the palace maids to clean up the palace carefully. When Zhang Zhidong's name appeared on the ceiling, she thought that Emperor Guangxu might be looking for her.

With his courage and brain, he can't handle this kind of thing at all.

"Your Majesty, I've asked the front, and the Emperor has sent Prince Gong out," An Dehai whispered. "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager's efforts are truly in vain."

"Hmph, I'd like to see how he handles this matter." Cixi said with a smile, "He devotes all his energy to his son. It's a pity for the love of parents in the world. Let him do whatever he wants."

An Dehai knelt on the ground and praised the old lady.

In the evening, Qi Cheng went to the small market to pick up his mother and bought some food there. After returning home and having dinner, he went to his study.

"Let's start selecting people."

"Qin Chaoxi."

Qi Cheng thought about it and realized that this person was quite famous. He seemed to be the owner of the Shuihudi Qin Bamboo Slips. The Qin Bamboo Slips he left behind proved that the laws of the Qin Dynasty were not as strict as they were said to be.

When Qin Shi Huang heard that the person of his dynasty had been chosen, he walked around the palace excitedly. Unfortunately, he didn't know where this person was, maybe he was just an ordinary citizen.

"I'm an ordinary person from Qin. I just want to ask a question: even though later generations have become so developed, are there still things that were invented in ancient times?"

Qi Cheng thought about it.

"Our Chinese civilization is a continuous lineage. You can see the books here. Some of them are from the pre-Qin period. The writing and other things have been passed down from generation to generation."
