Chapter 133: Divine Powers of Steelmaking and Gunmaking

What made Wang Chao a little regretful was that in his impression, steelmaking in the future should be done with a converter, which should be difficult to achieve in ancient society.

As for the specifics, Wang Chao had no idea. After all, he was just an ordinary person and had not learned the corresponding knowledge.

Therefore, Wang Chao just let Zhou Tie and his son study it with a try-and-see attitude.

Even if they could not make steel directly, it would be good to improve the efficiency of ironmaking.

And now, according to Zhou Tie's words, he seemed to have made steel directly, which really surprised Wang Chao.

And as Zhou Tie told the story, Wang Chao gradually understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Just a few days ago, when Zhou Yan and Zhou Tie were discussing, Zhou Tie's son Zhou Jie suddenly interrupted.

"Big, uncle, don't you have magical powers? Why don't you use them?"

After hearing this, the father and son were stunned, and then they reacted suddenly, looking at each other, and both showed surprise.

Yes, they obviously have magical powers, why do they have to stick to traditional crafts?

Zhou Jie's words can be said to have opened up a new way of thinking for them.

Immediately, the father and son followed the meditation method passed down by Wang Chao, and under the protection of the heavenly and territorial status, they separated their consciousness and entered the spiritual space.

They began to feel the magical stars in the spiritual power ocean and look for suitable magical powers.

Since the magical powers, heavenly and territorial status, integrated with the external spiritual power and national destiny, and evolved into the spiritual space, the dynasty has gradually relaxed the restrictions.

Ordinary people still find it difficult to peek into the spiritual space, but the people's salvation army and officials at all levels who already have the heavenly and territorial status can already enter the spiritual space.

Even if their soul consciousness strength and cultivation level are improved, they can truly cultivate their own magical powers, instead of just relying on the heavenly and territorial status.

Of course, for now, no one has reached this level.

That requires at least the cultivation of the magical power realm.

Even Wang Dahu and others who obtained the heavenly and territorial status at the beginning are only in the late stage of Qi training at this time, and there is still a distance from the magical power realm.

Zhou Yan and Zhou Tie, father and son, naturally did not reach the realm of magical powers.

However, they did not necessarily have to learn and practice by themselves when they entered the spiritual space to find suitable magical powers, right?

They had also heard that different heavenly and earthly statuses had different magical powers. They could completely choose the appropriate magical powers and then seek help from Chief of Staff Wang Sanshun or even the leader Wang Chao.

After entering the spiritual space, they really found many suitable magical powers from the magical stars in the sea of ​​spiritual power.

You know, when fusing the magical powers, Wang Chao evolved all the 72 earthly evil arts he knew into the spiritual power.

Even people with a high enough status, in addition to the basic magical powers, can also choose some different magical powers and imprint them on the heavenly and earthly status.

In the process of finding suitable magical powers, Zhou Tie's son Zhou Jie also provided them with a lot of ideas.

Hearing this, Wang Chao couldn't help but think in his heart, it seems that Zhou Tie's son Zhou Jie has some talent in this area, so can he be trained in this direction?

Moreover, children are the most spiritual, and their ideas are also wild and unrestrained.

Then, there are so many primary schools in the territory of the Salvation Army, so many children in elementary school, can he use them?

Of course, because they are all children, Wang Chao is definitely not going to let them master magical powers.

They don't know how to measure, so it is inevitable that there will be some big chaos.

However, can he choose some magical powers that are not very lethal, and then weaken the magical powers again?

Then let those students learn, maybe they can burst out many wonderful ideas and applications?

However, these can't be done in a short time.

So, Wang Chao just secretly kept this idea in mind, and then continued to listen to Zhou Tie's story.

For example, the Wind-Breaking Divine Power and the Flame-Breathing Divine Power that can spit out flames can increase the temperature of the blast furnace;

The Spraying and Finger-Breathing Divine Powers that can change the shape and properties of objects, the Yellow-White Divine Power that involves transforming substances and can transform objects into gold and silver, the Barrier-Closure Divine Power that can increase the defense of clothes, and the Air-Banned Divine Power.

Can they be used to strengthen the strength of the blast furnace?

The Wind-Breaking Divine Power and the Wind-Controlling Divine Power that can control the wind can combine with each other to make the wind and air flow according to one's own ideas.

Then can he use the See-through Divine Power to directly observe the situation of the molten iron in the blast furnace?

Then control the air in the blast furnace and let them stir the molten iron according to their own ideas, can they achieve the effect of a converter?

And, does the molten iron count as water? Can it be stirred by the Water-Controlling Divine Power?

As for the fact that the strength of the divine power is not enough, can't we just have two more people?

And Gang, isn't it just the difference in the carbon-iron ratio?

Since the Spraying Divine Power, the Finger-Breaking Divine Power, and the Yellow-White Divine Power can all change the shape and properties of objects and transform materials, can't they adjust the carbon-iron ratio?

Moreover, this is even simpler.

If they were to directly transform matter with divine power, it would be impossible to maintain the transformation for a long time with their first or second level divine power.

Even a dynasty at the divine power level could not maintain it for a long time.

Take the yellow and white magic power as an example, Wang Chao can indeed turn other items into gold or silver.

However, this time can only last for a month at most, and then they will change back.

However, Zhou Tie and his team did not directly convert the material, but used similar characteristics to adjust the carbon-iron ratio accordingly when performing the magic power.

Therefore, the steel made by this method is real steel.

After hearing this, Wang Chao was both happy and sighed, the wisdom of the common people is infinite.

Even Wang Chao did not think of this aspect, but Zhou Yan and Zhou Tie, father and son, achieved the effect of later technology by combining magic power under Zhou Jie's reminder.

However, what later technology needs is machinery, and what they need is manpower.

Well, it's a bit useless.

However, after Zhou Tie's reminder, Wang Chao also thought of some methods.

For example, can he use the power of magic power to merge and pull with the magic power of array formation to form a special array item?

Can he use the magic power of array formation to gather the energy of heaven and earth as the energy source for the magic power of array formation and the activation and operation of magic power?

If it can be completed, it can completely replace human power and achieve efficiency that is not inferior to that of later technology.

If we start from this aspect, perhaps within a hundred years, they can reach or even surpass the development level of later generations in many aspects.

Thinking of this, Wang Chao couldn't help but feel a little excited.

After being here for such a long time, he still missed his life in his previous life.

However, it requires further evolution of the formation magic power, and even the evolution of the basic runes of the magic power, so that he can achieve what he imagined.

However, this is a simplified application of the magic power, and he can completely evolve it together with the spells that elementary school students need to learn.

While thinking in his heart, Wang Chao had already come to the weapons manufacturing department with Zhou Tie.

The moment he entered the weapons manufacturing department, Wang Chao felt a wave of heat coming towards him.

The first thing that caught his eye was two large blast furnaces.

Naturally, these two large blast furnaces are iron smelting furnaces and steel smelting furnaces.

Even without the operation of the magic power, Wang Chao could see the molten iron and steel flowing in them.

Who made these two blast furnaces full of mysterious magical power?

The flow of magical power must involve spiritual power.

As the source and master of spiritual power, Wang Chao can naturally feel the situation of the place where spiritual power is located.

Listening to Zhou Tie's endless talk about his use of magical power, the principles of iron and steel smelting, etc., Wang Chao couldn't help but sigh.

You know, most of the advanced technologies of the ancients are similar to an accumulation of experience, and many of them do not involve deep principles.

And Zhou Tie can tell the principles, not Wang Chao told him.

After all, Wang Chao himself is also confused, how can he tell others?

So, it was Zhou Tie himself who gradually understood and enlightened through the study of the use of finger transformation and yellow and white magical power, feeling the transformation process of matter.

However, as Zhou Tie comprehends these, the content and principles will gradually imprint the corresponding heaven and earth status of the spiritual space.

At that time, other people who enter the spiritual space can also learn this knowledge.

Even if they reach proficiency and the dynasty releases restrictions, they may use it to condense the corresponding heaven and earth status.

Just when they arrived not far from the blast furnace, someone over there had already shouted.

"Water out, water out"

Well, the red molten steel flowed, reflecting the surrounding red.

Then, the red molten steel entered the corresponding mold for casting.

Wang Chao was naturally very happy about this, and turned to look at Zhou Tie and asked.

"How strong is the steel now?

Can it make the guns and cannons I mentioned?"

As a modern time traveler, after he embarked on the road of rebellion, the first thing he thought of was naturally the various guns and cannons of later generations.

After occupying Lintao and Gongchang, Wang Chao had already recruited talents for making guns and cannons.

He also made fire guns and cannons, but they were all cast in copper, and the best ones did not reach the level of the red cannon.

As for the fire gun, it is no different from the ordinary fire gun. For the current Salvation Army, it is actually not very useful. A round of strong bow and arrow rain is much stronger than the current fire gun.

It is precisely because of this that even after these few battles, they have seized a lot of fire guns and cannons.

But the Salvation Army is still not equipped with these.

Wang Chao also talked about the concepts of flintlock, breech-loading gun, breech-loading cannon, and even different ignition devices.

After the research of craftsmen, some finished products were made, but the success rate and effect were not ideal.

The main reason is the material.

For example, the spring of the ignition device, ordinary copper and iron, that is definitely not possible.

And now, since the strength of steel can be adjusted through the power of magic, can it be used to make guns and cannons?

"Yes, yes, absolutely yes"

Zhou Tie nodded excitedly.

"And with the help of magic, some finished products have been made."

"Oh~?"

Wang Chao's eyes lit up.

"Quick, show it to me!"

"Okay, Chief!"

Zhou Tie nodded, and then instructed a young man beside him:

"Xiao Li, go get the latest experimental model No. 7."

"Yes!"

"Experimental model No. 7?"

Wang Chao's eyes flashed.

Obviously, the concept of experimental model No. XX also spread from Wang Chao.

And the experimental model No. 7 is obviously the seventh generation product that has been improved after repeated experiments.

Not long after, Xiao Li came running with a rifle.

Yes, it was a rifle.

When Wang Chao saw this, his eyes lit up again.

Wang Chao took it and examined it carefully, and found that it was not much different from the later generations.

Wang Chao pulled the bolt and raised it to take a look.

Well, it feels great!
