Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Qin Kui recognized that the man who slapped his thigh and shouted was Liu Yuanran, the famous alchemy master in the Ming Dynasty.

He vaguely remembered that in the past two years, the late emperor seemed to want to find someone to refine the elixir, and he had mentioned this person's name during that time. However, refining the elixir was very expensive, and the late emperor was always worried about the tight treasury, so he was reluctant to make up his mind.

But at this moment...

Liu Yuanran, whose name even the late emperor had mentioned, looked as if he had suddenly realized something. His face flushed with excitement. "Through a series of reactions, the unwanted materials will either be burned as combustible gas or filtered out as slag that can't be dissolved in the molten iron..."

"The changes and constants within this… unlock something that those weapon refiners who have spent thousands of years striving for a prestigious weapon in vain have never been able to fully grasp."

"Your Majesty is so talented! Your Majesty is so talented!!"

His face flushed with excitement, and he looked at Zhu Yunhuan with burning eyes, while also looking at the simple model drawn behind Zhu Yunhuan.

After figuring out the many reactions and principles involved, he naturally knew that stable steelmaking was achievable, and what batch steelmaking meant...

He felt the same as Qin Kui.

After all, although those standing here are all Taoists, they are also Han people!

Seeing Liu Yuanran's expression of "already understanding"... Qin Kui was subconsciously confused for a moment, even doubting himself: "Huh? Now I understand? I can't understand a single word. Could it be that all the books I've read for decades have been in vain?"

However, while he was confused, he was also convinced that steel can be made!

Thinking of this, he looked up at the young man with deep eyes in disbelief and secretly took a deep breath: "Great talent! The young emperor of our Ming Dynasty is indeed a great talent!"

"If we hadn't witnessed the situation within the Alchemy Department today, everyone would have thought Your Majesty was being willful and fraught with worry..."

"Even if I had known that Your Majesty wasn't as useless and willful as others thought, I still wouldn't have thought that the Alchemy Department could be so full of tricks! I simply assumed that the Taoist priests in the Alchemy Department had bewitched His Majesty."

Qin Kui took a deep breath to keep himself calm, and a sense of shock and fear grew in his heart - not from the imperial power, but simply from that unfathomable young man!

On the podium.

Zhu Yunhuan casually threw the chalk in his hand onto the podium. He knew that Liu Yuanran had obviously made up his mind. After all, this guy used to specialize in alchemy. In his later years, Old Zhu couldn't help but get him to make alchemy for him. Naturally, his talent in chemistry was beyond doubt.

As for the others, they were each writing furiously on their own drafts, trying to understand the equations of this series of reactions.

Zhu Yunhuan was quite satisfied with this.

The Alchemy Bureau has now grown into a qualified and useful Party B. As for ideas and requirements in chemical engineering, Zhu Yunhuan can just sit back and be a Party A who makes demands.

Now Party A has completed its requirements.

The rest is up to Party B.

Thinking of this, he casually dusted off his hands and said, "That's all for today's lecture."

After hearing Zhu Yunhuan's voice, everyone finally reacted and looked up, as if they were still wondering: "Your Majesty, this...this step of removing phosphorus...what is the principle behind it?"

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Liu Yuanran as if testing him.

Liu Yuanran pondered for a moment, then, with his head held high and a hint of pride, he directly resolved the man's confusion: "When flames appear at the furnace mouth, phosphorus also oxidizes to form ferrous phosphate. Ferrous phosphate then reacts with quicklime to form stable calcium phosphate and calcium sulfide, which together become slag and are filtered out."

Zhu Yunhuan nodded and said, "This is the correct answer. It seems I really don't need to say anything more. The refractory bricks for the casting furnace will be produced by the Ministry of Works. From now on, the Alchemy Bureau and the Ministry of Works can work together."
