[Chapter 336 Carburizing Method]
Of course, steel also rusts, but steel rusts at a much slower rate than iron. Using steel wire to make a net can solve the problem of fish farming to a certain extent. Of course, fishing nets are best made of materials such as nylon, but this world has not yet begun to engage in chemical engineering, only some alchemists are conducting the most basic chemical research, and advanced chemical products such as nylon should not be delusional.
When the queen saw the steel wire, all her complacency just flew to the sky outside Jiuxiao Yun, and she said angrily, “How much steel do you need to make a net that can keep fish in the river? How much does it cost? You just raise a few broken fish, If you invest so much steel, you will only lose money, and it is impossible to make money.”
Robb smiled: “No, you are mistaken, this thing of steel will soon become one of the most valuable things in West Wind Town. Well, when your mines mine like mine, the steel in your mines will also become worthless, and then you will find that it is very cost-effective to use steel wire as a net to raise fish, believe it or not ?”
The little head of the patriarch of the cat people swayed left and right, I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it at all, how could steel become the most worthless thing? This thing has never been worthless, it has always been super expensive, okay, an iron pot can be sold for a lot of money.
However, Miss Queen believes it!
Because she knows that Robb’s mining company’s ability to produce steel is extremely perverted. With the cooperation of the minecart and the large smelting furnace, the molten iron spewed out of the furnace as if it didn’t need money. The speed…
the only thing that is gratifying The thing is, a railroad track that Miss Queen managed to build up by smashing pots and selling iron has also been assisted into the mine. It won’t be long before her mining company will start to produce a lot of iron, but it can barely keep up with Robb’s gameplay.
What she is worried about now is that Robb is a pair of threes, she can play a pair of fours, Robb is a pair of fives, she can play a pair of six, but if Robb has a pair of kings one day, what will she do with it? ? Just like the mining robot last time, Miss Queen couldn’t keep up with it at all. Fortunately, Robb dismantled it himself, as long as the engine was left, otherwise Miss Queen would really vomit blood.
Now there is one thing that Miss Queen can’t keep up with, that is-steel!
Robb’s steel is made by himself, with high hardness and strong corrosion resistance.
But Miss Queen’s subordinates are still using the ancient process of “Hundreds of Steelmaking”, which is to use iron to repeatedly beat, beat, beat a hundred times, which is also called “Hundred Refinements”. Remove the impurities in it, increase its hardness, and then it feels hard and black as if it is very powerful, so it is called “steel”, and together it is called “Hundred Steelmaking”.
In fact, in the eyes of a modern person like Robb, it is still iron, and cannot be called steel at all.
Miss Queen looked aggrieved: “How on earth did you make this steel? It’s just that you refuse to teach me the pudding with your hands. You shouldn’t hide something like steel and don’t teach it, it’s not for eating. ”
Luo Bai was delighted: “Why can’t I teach you what I eat?”
“Because you took advantage of the shortcomings of women who like sweets and cheated me for money!” Miss Queen said with a serious face: “It’s about cheating money with sweets. I endured it, but I really don’t like to eat steel, you definitely can’t cheat my money in this regard, you might as well teach me to forget it, what do you think?”
Robb laughed: “You ghost woman, say I just want to cheat the technology, but I don’t want to spend money. Forget it, let’s teach you!”
In fact, Robb was preaching, but he couldn’t teach. Because “hand rubbing steel” can’t teach others, this is Robb’s game skill.
But he is very clear about one thing. It is unscientific to always rely on his own hands to rub steel. This is not conducive to the development of the whole society, and it is not conducive to his own laziness. If you want to sit idle and enjoy everything, you can’t always be It’s up to you to rub it yourself, and you have to let the world’s technology keep up.
Seriously, Robb himself doesn’t know how to make steel. He only knows one thing, that is, if iron and carbon are mixed together in a certain proportion, iron can be turned into a harder and more powerful steel. The hardness of steel is related to this ratio.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t understand, as long as you can wake up Miss Queen, she will study with the power of the country, and she will always succeed.
Robb smiled and said, “Do your blacksmiths know how to carburize?”
“Carburization?” The Queen was stunned for a moment, then turned around and said to the attendant next to her, “Immediately find the most powerful blacksmith. Immediately , Immediately.”
Her Majesty said “immediately, immediately” in an aggravated tone, and of course immediately, only a short while later, an old blacksmith was brought to the crystal ball.
“Carburizing method, do you understand?”
As soon as the queen asked, the blacksmith immediately shook his head and said, “I don’t understand!”
Robb thought: I definitely understand, but they probably didn’t know that their craft was called “carburizing method”.
He asked in a different way: “Then how did you turn iron into steel?” The
blacksmith smiled and said, “It’s simple, let’s burn iron blocks in charcoal, so that the iron produced will be abnormal. It’s hard, we take it out and beat it hard, and repeatedly, it becomes steel!”
“Yes! This is the carburizing method.” After hearing this, Robb couldn’t help but applaud, amazing! People in this world don’t understand chemistry, but after thousands of years of exploration, they know how to bury iron in charcoal and burn it. In this way, carbon can penetrate into the iron and make the iron harder. It is called the wisdom of the working people.
Robb smiled and said: “Well, your method is very good! But, do you know why iron will be harder when it is burned in charcoal?”
“I don’t know!” The old blacksmith shook his head: “Why exactly?”
Robb smiled and said: “Okay, what I’m going to talk about next is god-level craftsmanship, you listen carefully, if you don’t understand, I don’t care, I’ll just say it once, how much you understand is your creation, learn After all, you are the most powerful blacksmith in the world, and I won’t be responsible if you don’t learn it.”
As soon as these words came out, the blacksmith couldn’t help but listen quickly. The queen beside him waved his hand without a trace, and a secretary drilled from the side. Come out, pick up the pen, and put on a picture ready to record.
Robb said with a smile: “Any technology must first understand the principle. Only by understanding the principle can you make it better. Let me first tell you the principle of making steel. Steel is made of two elements, iron and carbon. All kinds of things can only be formed when they are combined in a certain proportion.” The
secretary quickly wrote down…
The old blacksmith asked: “What is carbon?”
Robb smiled: “Carbon, it’s too much to explain. Trouble, you just need to know one thing, carbon is a substance contained in charcoal, coal and other fuels. If it enters the iron, it will make the iron hard. So, you buried iron in the charcoal and burned it The act is to get the carbon element into the iron, which is what I originally said – carburizing.”
