Chapter 407: Forging Steel Method
"Pry me!"
As soon as the voice fell, Su Mo's raised arm also fell heavily.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The three cranes started instantly, making a roaring sound, and the steel rope tied to the solid steel column collapsed straight under the force.
click-
With a loud bang, I saw that the solid steel column that had been inserted into the ground was broken abruptly.
At this scene, Su Mo's eyelids jumped. This was something he had never imagined. According to his calculations, this solid steel column was enough to support the heavy task of moving the Imperial Tower.
How could it be broken?
The three staff who controlled the crane quickly turned off the crane and looked at Su Mo at a loss.
"Su Mo, what's the situation?"
The chief construction engineer stared at the steel column that was broken in two, with a hint of surprise in his voice.
Su Mo's brows furrowed deeply, this was indeed not what he expected.
"It seems that the Imperial Tower is heavier than I thought!"
According to Su Mo's calculation, such a situation would never occur. However, the steel column was indeed broken, so there was only one reason, and that was the weight of the Imperial Tower, which far exceeded Su Mo's estimate.
Su Mo turned to look at the chief construction engineer, and asked in a deep voice, "What material is this steel column made of?"
"Cast steel!"
"No wonder."
Su Mo nodded, and immediately took out a pen and paper and lay down on the ground to calculate.
"Steel chemical composition
C≤0.03Si≤1.00Mn≤2.00P≤0.035S≤0.03Ni:10.0-14.0Cr:16.0-18.0Mo:2.0-3.0
Mechanical properties

The chief construction engineer swallowed and asked Chen Lao cautiously, "Chen Lao, what is Su Mo doing?"
"How do I know?"
Chen Lao glared angrily, how did he understand this...
The two of them stood beside Su Mo honestly, keeping silent for fear of disturbing Su Mo.
A piece of white paper was quickly filled with dense information, until at the end, Su Mo's eyes lit up and he wrote down a number.
"8.8!"
Su Mo stood up excitedly and handed the white paper to the chief construction engineer.
"According to this piece of paper, build a steel column with the same size and length as this steel column!"
While speaking, Su Mo pointed to the solid steel column that was broken into two sections.
"what is this?"
The chief construction engineer took the scratch paper handed over by Su Mo and looked at it for a while, like reading a book from heaven.
"Su Mo, what did you write on this piece of paper?"
Chen Lao also looked at Su Mo in confusion. He couldn't understand the content on the paper at all.
In the face of the two people's inquiries, Su Mo explained in a slow voice: "This is a steel forging method. The current density of cast steel is about 7.8, but this forging method can make the density of cast steel reach 8.8!"
"Currently, the best Hundred Steelmaking in my Xia country has a density of only 8.3. However, according to my calculations, I am afraid that Hundred Steelmaking will not be able to support the Imperial Tower, so I temporarily invented a new steel forging method. "
Chen Lao: "..."
Chief Architect: "..."
Can it still be so?
Temporarily invent a new method of forging steel?
What are you kidding?
This is the forging method!
Every steel forging method has been slowly explored through countless experiments. Can this thing still be invented temporarily?
cough cough-
Chen Veteran looked at Su Mo suspiciously, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this really a better steel forging method than a hundred steelmaking?"
"certainly!"
Su Mo smiled confidently, knowing that the density of steel can be increased by 0.1, then the quality has more than doubled.
What's more, according to his calculations, the density of the fine steel manufactured according to his steel forging method is 0.5 higher than that of Hundred Steelmaking.
What is the concept of 0.5?
Let's just say that if the density is increased by 0.5, then the quality can be increased by at least eight times!
This is a full eight times!
Chen Lao's whole body trembled. He holds an important position, so he can understand how important this steel casting method is. If it is really like what Su Mo said, then this inconspicuous draft paper is absolutely priceless. !
You know, no matter what core parts are, there is no need to make steel, because steel is limited by quality, and many places are replaced by alloys.
If it is possible to produce steel with a higher quality than Hundred Steelmaking, then the industrial level of the Xia Kingdom can be improved by at least one level!
Xia Country's current industrial level is already a first-class level in the world. If it is raised by another level, then Xia Country's industrial level will definitely become the world's largest industrial power!
"Give me the paper."
Old Chen's voice was low and hoarse, and now he only felt his throat was dry, which was caused by extreme excitement.
He took the draft paper from the chief construction engineer and carefully put it into the pocket of his jacket, as if he were treating a peerless treasure.
cough cough-
"That Su Mo, is the Imperial Capital Tower safe now?" Chen Lao asked.
"yes."
Su Mo nodded and said, "It's just that if it is tilted for a long time, it will cause the structure of the Imperial Capital Tower to deform, and it will be even more difficult to handle at that time."
"So, for now, it's best to quickly restore the angle of the Imperial Capital Tower to normal!"
Although Su Mo didn't know why Chen Lao suddenly asked this question, he still told everything he knew.
"As long as it's okay for the time being, your steel forging method is very important. I have to go and confirm it quickly. That's it for today."
After saying that, Old Man Chen left without looking back.
Seeing Su Mo confused for a while, what is this?
He came up with this steel forging method just to move the Imperial Tower!
From Su Mo's point of view, this is all about avoiding the most important things!
However, if Chen Lao knew about his thoughts, he would definitely scold him.
Avoid the heavy and light?
What a joke!
The Imperial Tower is indeed very important, that's right, but this steel forging method is more important than the Imperial Tower!
In Chen Lao's heart, as long as this steel forging method is as powerful as what Su Mo said, let alone a tower of the imperial capital, even ten towers and a hundred towers, can't compare to this steel forging method!
Chen Lao left like this, leaving a group of people staring blankly.
"Su Mo, what should we do now?"
Unconsciously, the chief construction engineer has regarded Su Mo as the backbone.
"How do I know what to do?"
Su Mo spread out his hands with a wry smile, and said, "I don't seem to have anything to do with me for the time being. As for you, let's ask."
After speaking, Su Mo also turned around and left.
Only the chief construction engineer was left in a daze...
As soon as Su Mo came over, Chen Daoming and Li Renhui surrounded him. As for Yan Jiuxi, they had already rushed into Su Mo's arms.
"Girl, there are still people here, do you want to reward me with a loving kiss?"
