815 Day 1
In this official office workshop run by the imperial court for many years, the craftsman heritage has been passed down from generation to generation.
Fathers pass through sons and sons pass through grandsons. Even craftsmen belonging to the court will leave a hand for their family members in the ratio and process of craftsmanship forging.
The skilled craftsmen who were recruited from all over the country were able to enrich the talents for the court.
But the same is true, it also made every household look tighter when they put their things under the box.
Now an innovative talent like Gu Zheng suddenly appeared, who was able to create two more advanced forging techniques in such a short time.
Let those craftsmen who do not have the basic skills see hope.
Because of continuous innovation, we will not pay so much attention to the confidentiality of secret techniques.
Moreover, this craftsman who is about to become the master forging is still so young. In the eyes of these old craftsmen, aren’t there infinite possibilities?
People keep inventing better ones, but the market is so big, there are always some places where some people cannot use such good materials to make less important things.
At that time, they have mastered some forging techniques, even if they have learned the old skills that were eliminated by Gu Zheng, when they are old and weak, they will be able to eat a bite of food based on what they have learned.
After understanding the purpose of these people, Gu Zheng had nothing to worry about.
He thought his family was being missed by thieves.
It's good that this is the case. The unfamiliar feeling that started from scratch was gone. With the help of these "apprentices" who sincerely took care of him, his life in the future... will be almost done no matter how you live.
Gu Zheng, who felt comfortable, replied happily: "Okay, it doesn't matter how many people are. As long as you can tell the arrangements in our workshop, I don't care if a few people are following me."
Look, this is a sign of being super confident in your skills.
But the more Gu Zheng said this, the more respectful the expressions of those people were.
Learning with a capable master is hard to come by. Even if someone casually reveals his fingers, it will be enough for them to pass on their children and grandchildren. From today on, they will have people from the sect inheritance.
This meeting ended successfully with everyone's joy.
With the joint efforts of these neighbors, Gu Zheng not only lived in a shiny room, ate hot meals, but also slept peacefully all night.
That night, a brand new steel casting technique appeared in his dream again, and while watching, he recorded the relevant technical points and tool information.
When he came to the government office workshop the next day to report, Gu Zheng was still physically tired, but his spirit had already reached a certain point.
The cells in his body seemed to be shouting constantly, hurry up, go and test it quickly, whether the process that was constantly replaying in his mind would be successful.
In the dream that was gradually progressing yesterday, the teaching process was called the steel filling method.
This skill that truly flourished a hundred years later was one of the essential materials for later generations to use famous swords to stay in the iron sword.
If this skill can be restored, then the material of the military weapons of the Han Dynasty today will produce a qualitative leap.
If you only need to pour a layer of iron craft at the original weapon, all the weapons will be invincible immediately like a bird gun changing cannon.
How could this not make Gu Zheng very excited?
With the launch of the steel filling method, the dream of casting a famous knife is about to come true!
The impatient Gu Zheng said that he would do it just by saying that.
He got up early one morning, and when black smoke just emerged from the chimney of the workshop furnace, he went to the front office to register.
With a surprised expression on his face, the sword and pen official snatched the license plate representing the main forging identity in the other party's hand, without raising his head... and headed straight to the big venue of the forging workshop.
...
The official blacksmith workshop of the Han Dynasty was progressing in layers.
As soon as you get started, the closest part to the auxiliary material transportation warehouse is where the melting furnace is located.
During the day, I ignite the fire here and ring the bell to open the furnace. Following the flow of soft or hard ore water from the huge furnaces, I came to the second large section of the workshop.
This is larger than the area of the first part, but the structure is a long and narrow structure.
According to the layer-by-layer propulsion of forging and fusion, casting and grinding, when walking through the middle aisle, you can clearly see where each part is. If there is a problem with one link, you will check it out and then check it out.
For large-scale production of official office workshops, it is a rare efficient and useful design.
After walking through the forging workshop, the pattern suddenly changed. It was no longer a semi-open building space with large openings and closes. Instead, it had to pass through a black corridor and a paper-shaped lobby before it could be considered as the sealed end.
Finally, the last step of the weapon is melted and molded, cooled and solidified, and polished.
After completing all the processes, the weapons are sealed in a box of characteristics and labeled with the corresponding label of the Official Bureau’s Weapons Floor. People from the superior departments in the affiliated yamen will transport them from the reserve warehouse in boxes.
The weapons that were released after a long turn will be seen again in the hands of the soldiers and play their ultimate role.
...
As for where Gu Zheng is going now, it is the second largest section in the workshop, and the most complete process and the most clear segmented smelting and harmonization part.
There, he was the first craftsman to step in today. When he walked to this most advanced workshop at that time, he only made a rough inspection and figured out the equipment and facilities and the tools in the operating room.
Gu Zheng, who had a clear mind, did not stop.
He took off his outer robe in a few seconds, hung the apron that he had run through during his daily life, untied the heavy tool box behind him, picked up the hammer head that he had used to inside, pulled out the valve at the plug from the iron outlet, and the corresponding white high-temperature furnace flowed into the workbench in front of him along a long channel.
"No, no one can do it."
After getting started, Gu Zheng realized that the process of steel filling skills taught by the vague figure teaching the craftsman in his sleep could not be completed by just one person and one pair of hands.
Even if the corresponding materials are not required to turn on the stove yourself and then refine them.
However, in the skill of filling steel, the process of mixing pig iron and dry iron cannot be completed by just one person.
"I would have liked to take the apprentice in this workshop. Zhao Da in my family is a rare and good helper."
Gu Zheng was staring at the red iron ingot in front of him and talking to himself, when an old face full of pleated one suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Gu Zheng? What trouble are you in? If you need help, I will do it. I am also a rare and good helper!"
Seeing a person appearing quietly in the empty space, Gu Zheng almost frightened the hammer.
But Gu Zheng really couldn't make a fuss. He was a newcomer who quietly started the furnace and smelted without permission, which was not in line with the rules.
Looking at the old man's gray beard, shriveled torso, and his shirtless look, Gu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
I'm afraid that I'm another unsatisfactory old craftsman, so it should be fine to ask him to help.
Thinking of this, Gu Zheng smiled shyly and said to the old man politely: "Okay, this master has helped me a lot."
"I'm trying a new skill here, which requires cooperation from multiple people."
"Did you see the drainage trough over there? I need liquid materials in the pig iron mouth in the orange-yellow flame furnace to mix into the materials produced in my high-temperature furnace."
"Then they are heated above the melting point of the pig iron and refined into steel."
"We may have to experiment several times. Because the molding process of this technique may not be limited to one."
"The final work and purpose of different operation methods are also different."
"I just don't know if the master's physical strength can keep up with the pace of my operation."
"After all, you are..." Gu Zheng stopped talking here, but his eyes were always on the old man's thin body and the empty vest hanging on him.
Chapter completed!
