Qin Feng had to admit that he had specialized in his profession.

Sitting in the room, listening to the masters report their achievements respectfully to him one by one, but Qin Feng could hear it as if he was falling into a fog of five miles. He couldn't understand at all!

But he still had to pretend to be clear and ummy from time to time, indicating that he knew very well that his glorious image had been reduced to these masters who worshiped him to the extreme.

This kind of pretending to understand without knowing is a torture for Qin Feng, whose face is not as thick as that.

However, he finally understood one thing.

All the research of these masters, in the end, can only be completed with large amounts of funds. For example, the two masters who collaborated to complete the research on refractory bricks and converter seals. According to their intention, all the blast furnaces in the Daye Iron Factory now have great problems. The steel refined from these blast furnaces has great flaws in the quality and all need to be demolished and rebuilt.

What a joke? How much does it cost to build a blast furnace? Do you know this master? How long does it take to demolish and rebuild it? If this is true, during this period of time, there will be no steel output, the market will be greatly impacted, and the steel price will inevitably rise sharply, which will affect the national economy and people's livelihood. Do you know how to cut down?

The quality of steel in the Ming Dynasty is far ahead of the Qi and Chu countries. As for the poor man in Qin, it goes without saying. As for the various products derived from this, the quality has left them many streets. Under such circumstances, the Ming Dynasty did not have to fight for the renewal of its products. Even if it is rich, it does not have to be so anxious, let alone now that it is still so poor?

There are surpluses in Taiping County or the treasury, but once you decide to build a rail car connecting the Shafeng Line in Taiping County, Qin Feng feels that they will immediately bear a lot of debts.

Therefore, these things that require a lot of investment should be slowed down first. However, it is necessary to build a few small ones and make a small number of these higher quality products for special purposes. However, this is an internal matter of Taiping County, and Qin Feng did not feel that he had to intervene.

What interested Qin Feng, another guy made a new metal product. According to him, it was a new product he tried to arrange various ores in different combinations and then refined. Qin Feng played with a white rectangular square presented by the master craftsman, while watching the master waving the little hammer. After a moment, a white square that was the same as Qin Feng's hand was hammered as thin as paper by him. He picked it up and folded it casually into various shapes.

"Your Majesty, it's useless!" he said with a bitter face.

What these people think of is how to make the purity of steel higher, harder and sharper. The master craftsman made such a thing, which made him very ashamed.

"Master, although you can't see the value of this new thing for the time being, I think that existence is valuable. Maybe we will need him at any time. So you still need to record the refining process of this thing in detail." Qin Feng comforted him with warm words.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The master finally showed a hint of joy on his face. "Your Majesty, I have always wanted to make something stronger than steel. In the past two years, we have found that adding some other ores to the steel when smelting steel will greatly improve the quality of the steel. I have been wondering whether I would put several different ores together to produce a more powerful product? They all laughed at me as a madman, but I firmly believe that I will succeed. In fact, I have even thought about my name."

"Oh, the master craftsman has even thought of the name of this object that has not been refined yet?" Qin Feng widened his eyes and said in surprise: "I don't know what it is?"

"Your Majesty, I want to make this new thing with several different metals, so I named it alloy." Seeing the emperor very interested, the master was also excited: "Look, I have refined this thing. Although I don't know what role it can play now, this means that this path must work, but I have not found the correct method yet. As long as I experiment and experiment continuously, if a thousand times fail, then ten thousand times, or more, I will run on this path with all my strength, and maybe I can always run out of results. Even if I fail, the records of my failure can help the later generations avoid detours, and it cannot be said that they are worthless. Your Majesty, are you right?"

Qin Feng was moved when he heard the words of the master craftsman. What he revealed in his extremely simple words was the unparalleled determination of the master craftsman. Isn’t the progress of the Ming Dynasty based on this spirit of not turning back if he hits the wall?

He stood up and saluted the master scholasticly and reverently: "With all masters here, the Ming Dynasty's revival is expected."

Seeing the emperor suddenly saluted himself, the master craftsman suddenly panicked and jumped up suddenly, and waved his hands repeatedly, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I am still a loser now and I have done nothing."

"No, there have been results." Qin Feng raised the white metal in his hand and said, "I firmly believe that the master craftsman will succeed. Countless failures will eventually lead to a road to victory. Isn't it like our current iron smelting and steelmaking that comes step by step?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I can only devote myself to my whole life and die." All the masters in the room bowed to the ground.

"Please ask for help, but I dare not say such unlucky words after death. I still hope that everyone will live for a long time and continue to work hard for my Ming Dynasty and make new achievements. Please, please, please." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the sun has been out for a long time. Why would Your Majesty go and see the object before?" Jin Jingnan suggested on the side. He also saw that His Majesty didn't seem to understand what these masters said. Of course, he didn't understand either. He was a little confused, so he couldn't even insert his mouth.

Qin Feng turned his head and looked out the window. Sure enough, the climate in the mountains was completely the child's face, and it changed as soon as it changed. When it came, it was raining heavily, and the sky was dark. At this moment, it was sunny again, and cloudless.

"Let's go, take a look." He walked out the door with great enthusiasm.

The mud that had been spread on the ground by several masters had changed color at this moment. Qin Feng squatted down, poked his fingers, and the outside had become hard. He stood up, walked up, stepped on it, and with his weight of more than 100 kilograms, he did not leave any marks on it.

Qin Feng was surprised and happy, and suddenly clenched his fist and slammed hard. With a bang, the ground was cracked. Qin Feng picked up a piece and observed it carefully. The layer outside had dried, but the middle was still the pasty it was before, but it was obvious that the moisture was very little.

"Come on the knife." Qin Feng reached out his hand. The guard on the side immediately pulled out his waist and handed it over.

With a knife, the blade entered the ground with a squeak. When his wrist turned, the blade streaked across the ground, cutting a piece of the originally gray ground. When the tip of the knife jumped, the piece jumped up and landed in Qin Feng's hand.

After carefully comparing the two things, Qin Feng found that their composition was indeed exactly the same. The difference was that one was completely dry and had a bit stronger hardness than the stone, while the other was still moist.

"This is an excellent building material!" Qin Feng shouted in his heart. "Using it to pave roads, build houses, and build city walls is much better than rammed earth and red bricks now."

Thinking of this, he walked to the other side, where there was a pier wrapped in four iron plates. When he pulled open the iron plates, the mucus that looked soft and drooping had already stood there in the shape of the previous four iron plates.

Qin Feng turned around and looked at Jin Jingnan. At this moment, Jin Jingnan was also full of surprise.

Qin Feng waved his knife again and took the pier into two pieces from the middle, from the outside to the inside, with varying degrees. The most central one was the muddy state at the earliest. But it was obvious that as long as he was given time, he would definitely become like the hard ground in your yard.

"Good thing!" Qin Feng shouted.

"It's indeed a good thing." Jin Jingnan also blurted out. "Your Majesty, if you use him to pave the road, the road will be extremely hard and not easily damaged. What's more, the heavy carriage and other objects will not cause any damage to the road. If you use him to build the city wall, I'm afraid that it will not be easy to destroy it even if it is our thunderbolt fire, let alone other types of catapults."

Qin Feng stared at the Dunzi in front of him and suddenly said, "Go and find a few iron sticks."

There are so many iron sticks in this yard. In a blink of an eye, the guards found several iron sticks as thick as fingers, exactly the same as what they saw in the workshop earlier.

Picking up these iron sticks, Qin Feng inserted them one by one into the pier that was half confirmed by him at a certain distance, turned to look at Jin Jingnan: "Jin Jingnan, do you think that if the iron stick is inserted here, will his strength be stronger?"

"Your Majesty, that's true."

He kicked the pier down with one foot. Qin Feng looked at the thing lying on the ground and smiled and said, "Thinning it into pieces, casting it into pieces, and using an iron rod to support it in it. Can it be used to build a bridge deck? Using a thick pier as a bridge column and a board as a bridge deck, do you think the bridge built is stronger and more durable than ordinary wooden bridges and stone bridges?"
