Episode 918
After the furnace production was completed.
It finally started operation.
Rotate the base and heat it. The craftsmen began to cheer as the air temperature quickly rose to the point of burning.
Originally, you had to step on the bellows with your foot to circulate air to raise the heat.
However, the newly built furnace blows air using a water wheel that falls from above.
To put it simply, you can think of it as a watermill stepping on a bellows instead of a person stepping on it.
Of course, to put it very simply,
‘if you look at the data left during the Song Dynasty, a water wheel was used to create a water wheel that turned sideways, and the machine that turned the water wheel was attached to a furnace… A door that was like a ventilation shaft was closed and opened to blow air. ‘
If you look at Earth’s history, even powerful people might use it, but it is a method that has not yet been used in the martial arts world.
‘Or maybe you don’t know.’
Sacheondangga and Namgungse are used by the same Sega, but we do not know because they are confidential.
What is certain is that the price of pig iron on the market is expensive.
If all techniques were inherited from the Song Dynasty, this price would not be possible.
‘It is safe to say that Kangho’s physiology is blocking the development of technology.’
The law of nasopharynxian failure is so scary.
Anyway, here Jin Cheon-hee applied the European method to make the blowing stronger and also used the Jin method to condense the heat.
Iron Ore Lime Coal (Coke).
Limestone removes impurities from iron ore.
Coal is reduced by removing oxygen from iron ore.
cokes.
Coke, which often appears when iron age civilization is mentioned in world history, is made from this coal.
‘Even so, it began to be used in earnest in the 17th century.’
It is not easy to find high-quality coal in the central plains, but it is abundant in the North Sea Ice Palace.
Thanks to this, I was able to get a lot of it cheaply.
This can be made by heating the imported coal at high temperature for a long time.
About 1200 degrees?
That much is possible with the technology here.
The principle is similar to making charcoal from wood.
As hot air began to be blown at a constant rate using a water wheel, the temperature began to rise.
‘Oh, it’s rewarding to have fun watching world history when I was young.’
With the addition of the Jinbeop, the inside of the furnace is literally a fiery hell!
Slag, an impurity of iron ore, and pure molten iron began to separate.
“Oooooh! pig iron! “It’s pig iron!”
Skilled craftsmen recognized pig iron simply by the presence of molten iron flowing through the furnace.
Jin Cheon-hee did not end here.
“Slae… no, the gray residue is used as cement… no, as a building material.”
If processed well, it can also be used as fertilizer.
This siliceous fertilizer supplies iron to the soil and prevents plant diseases.
‘But we’ll have to do more research on the slag components that are coming out now before going in.’
Fertilizers may seem like a good thing when sprayed, but they can also pollute the soil and cause harm to people.
Because humans eat the plants that grow on the land.
Just like when using nitrogen fertilizer, it should be introduced after a long period of experimentation.
“Incinerator, the furnace smoke is gathering in one place!”
In modern times, furnace smoke is also recycled.
A method of filtering out the gases and then reusing them as a power source for the furnace.
However, in this world that runs on people and water rather than electricity, it will be used to maintain the line.
‘We can’t waste precious fire energy.’
The principles are different, but the formation is not infinite.
It may be a method for moderate curing and fortune-telling like Mt. Wudang, but it is impossible not to consume the ley lines in collecting heat and turning the furnace at high temperature.
The reason why this was able to be done in the first place was because the area where Baekrin Uigak is located is a dormant volcanic area, making it good to collect firearms.
However, you cannot know how Mother Nature will react if you use it too much, so you must use it in moderation.
The moderation is to strengthen the fire by recycling the furnace smoke.
The smoke flows along the Jinbeop and enters a large cast iron barrel.
Inside, the dust would settle and only the gas would remain, and as this was purified, the fire would be recovered through the ley line.
‘What on earth is energy?’
Funnily enough, Jin Cheon-hee doesn’t know why the energy flows as it is when he creates a formation.
It’s like a computer.
I don’t know anything about quantum mechanics in semiconductors, but I only use programming languages because I know them.
‘Has this somehow led to recycling?’
The biggest problem with blast furnaces is environmental pollution.
Humanity has suffered from environmental pollution ever since the creation of giant furnaces.
At the time, people didn’t even know what environmental pollution was, so people could easily die while working in a blacksmith shop.
That was all.
They say that the reason he died so easily was because the people in the house next door, in the house behind him, who did not necessarily work in the iron mine, all died in the same way.
Environmental pollution is growing further.
It was only after many people died and died again that humanity realized that something was going wrong.
The technology that Jin Cheon-hee is using is an application of methods discovered by mankind through such reflection.
Of course, compared to giant furnaces like POSCO on Earth, it is as small as a fingernail.
Still, I wanted to prevent the contamination from spreading.
‘If black smoke continues to rise, other companies will know the location of the furnace and the technology will be leaked.’
The gentleman who grumbled that this guy’s incompetence was ruining the development of a powerhouse is also thorough in maintaining his own skills.
It’s literally the blood of Naeronambul!
That’s right too.
‘Well, no matter how much I think about it, even if I’m from a political faction, it’s environmental pollution and it’s a shame, and I think I’ll just build a furnace.’
If you’re not careful, you may end up giving the truth just to extract some pig iron.
And there will be some crazy black swordsmen strategically attacking this place.
Confidentiality is maintained because only Segaya Sega people come and go, but isn’t this Paikrin Hospital also visited by patients?
Even though it was built in a remote location, if you see smoke rising from the same spot from a distance, some people will wonder what that is.
And now.
All the blacksmiths cheered when they realized that pig iron could be pulled out so easily.
“Hey! It’s all about money. money!”
“I can make it even if it’s a new recruit!”
“You mean the Incinerator designed this?”
Jin Cheon-hee said while looking at the cheering artisans.
“With this, the iron problem is solved.”
“….”
“Muwol?”
Only then did Muwol suddenly come to his senses.
Something I thought was impossible really happened.
“Are you really saying that’s all pig iron?”
“yes! “The quality of iron cannot be compared to anywhere else.”
I never imagined that something I thought was impossible would be possible so easily.
‘How on earth does Lord Sogak know this kind of knowledge? Are other Sega secretly using something like this?
Although a lot of pig iron is extracted from Sacheondanga, I don’t think it will be to this extent.
Even if it is said that the Sacheondang family has been making weapons like this, is there a way to find out?
Information that cannot be obtained even if you go to Gyeongjae or Haomun with a thousand gold.
‘oh my god. I never thought something like this would be possible…!’
Muwol’s heart pounded.
However, he spoke deliberately feigning calmness.
“Hmm, the problem of iron shortage has been solved, but… Mr. Incinerator. “What are you going to do now to make this into a farming tool?”
“We need to train a large number of blacksmiths. “It’s not like they’re making new recruits, so just having the skills to make farming tools is enough.”
No matter how much Jin Cheon-hee does, he doesn’t have the knowledge to pour the hardware into the tray and finish the mold with one cue.
‘Then it’s manpower.’
Aren’t there a lot of people and a lot of strong people without jobs?
Take them all and use them!
There it is.
While working as a blacksmith, I plan to teach the Neigongsim method of accumulating firearms as internal power.
It is very easy to learn and has strength and heat resistance, so there will be many Ronans who covet it.
‘Besides, strong people never lose weight no matter how much they work.’
Even though he has been climbing 3,000 stairs every day carrying a bucket of water since the age of five, he is eight feet tall and has broad shoulders.
Third-rate warriors are those who smash rocks with their bare bodies, and they are optimized for this kind of work.
‘I guess I’ll have to try making it by mixing the recipes I took out of the imperial library.’
Interestingly enough, this method is easier than the Gyeongsin Bobeop method.
Since this is Dongwoongong using a ley line full of fire, it will only be practiced within the blacksmith shop where the Jinbeop is installed.
This will naturally prevent leaks of confidential information.
In the first place, those people would know best that Jinbeop is not a matter that can be seen by anyone other than Zhuge Emperor.
‘You’re going to force Kang Ho-in to work as a blacksmith… you’re crazy… no, you’re like Eunkong.’
Muwol, who had his boss as the light of day, nodded.
Ilgwang says he will do Ilgwang’s work, so what’s the problem?
If Eunkong were a normal person, he would have already been blocked from the delivery business.
“great! Lord Incinerator!”
Muwol clenched his fists.
“Let’s become the best in the Hua Empire, not just in agriculture but also in productive economic power!”
“Oh! It’s good. In that sense, today’s lunch is fried chicken noodles.”
“…is it very spicy?”
“I’ll put dried radish on top and put some thin ice on the amju to accompany it.”
“….”
“Oh, and for those who can’t eat spicy food, let’s prepare soy sauce chicken noodles.”
Only then did Muwol nod his head.
Everything is good, but Sogakju makes spicy food very well.
It’s so delicious that it keeps popping into my mouth, but it’s still spicy.
I ask myself what’s spicy because I don’t think it’s very spicy, but everyone often looks for amju first while eating it.
People from Sacheon are excited and eat well.
“Now that I think about it, among the craftsmen who came today, there must be some who have never tried Sogakju’s cooking.”
“Oh, I see? “The Baeklin Ui-gak masters made it for a while.”
‘The number of cooking addicts will increase.’
The scariest thing about Ilgwang is not that he creates restrictions through his mind.
Taming people with rice.
The best taste in the world!
Delicacies that even the emperor could not eat are brought out as side dishes for lunch.
“Oh right. I should also make some egg soup. “It was almost a shame.”

Blacksmith Wangpan.
He lived there even before Baekrin County and Baekrin County were established.
At that time, this area was called by a different name instead of Baekrin-hyeon, and even then, it was called Blacksmith.
And he still lives as a blacksmith.
Has a whopping 20 years of experience.
He is called the Yajang of the Yajang (a word meaning blacksmith) in the village and is proud of his skills.
He was lost in thought as he pounded the hammer again today.
What he is making is farming equipment.
These are just common things like plows, hoes, and sickles.
Although I don’t have the skills to make a new weapon, I still have the secret to smelting in a furnace that has been passed down from generation to generation, so I can make pretty good iron.
On the day of iron extraction, all family members gather together to make iron ingots.
Sell the iron ingots made this way to another blacksmith.
We make and sell farm equipment ourselves.
‘This time, the Heavenly Sunlight Incinerator is making iron ingots?’
The farming tools being made now are made from the same iron ingots.
The price was cheaper than that of his own blacksmith shop, and when he made it himself, the purity of the iron was incomparable.
‘I never thought they would sell this much iron so cheap…. ‘Is this how it will hurt business?’
The sorrow deepens.
It was then.
“Grandpa, someone from Baekrin Uigak has arrived!”
The grandson looks at his grandfather with bright eyes.
I wanted to bite his chubby cheeks because they were so cute.
When I came out, a person wearing Baekrin Uigak military uniform was waiting in front of the gate.
‘Should I at least sprinkle some salt on it?’
Now, haven’t we become business competitors?
I might be tempted to criticize him, but my grandson was indebted to Baekrin’s house in many ways.
‘Also, when I injured my knee, Baekrin Uigak treated it for a ridiculous price.’
Additionally, taxes are lowered and there is no need to travel far to fetch water.
Such a great benefactor has become a competitor that threatens one’s livelihood.
I’m looking at you with complicated feelings.
In fact, the Baeklin Uigak official was smiling outside the gate.
‘What are you thinking?’
The hesitation did not last long.
“Come in!”
‘Let’s find out what your intentions are.’
A fox-shaped clay figure was hanging behind him.
An ugly clay pot that my grandson bought from somewhere.
The old man glared at the toyong as hard as he could.
‘Anyway, if it’s a strange proposal, I’m going to destroy this whole thing.’
