The big supervisor has spoken. What else can they complain about? Let's look at the sealed and solid stove together and seal the mud layer by layer according to Gu Zheng's requirements.

Don't mention that the fire under is burning vigorously. When the natural clay is on the surface of the high-temperature furnace, it tends to be dried in an instant.

The flames in the furnace provided oxygen for their continuous combustion. At last, only the pores in the center of these coarse mud were left.

At last, the high-temperature mud stove wrapped into a ball could not see the slightest smell of fireworks.

Gu Zheng, who was outside, asked his apprentice to continue stepping on the stove, removed the bellows and closed the last air hole.

Then, just wait quietly. We don't know what we're waiting for. Just wait anyway.

When the little emperor took a group of bodyguards and turned to the center of the workshop again, he saw the following scene.

……

A group of blacksmiths squatted on the ground and stared at a huge mud pimple.

I know it's waiting for the materials to be baked. I don't know it's waiting for steamed buns to be baked.

When it comes to making fun, no one is better than the young emperor.

He waved his hand to stop the guards from making a sound behind him. As soon as he untied his big fur and lifted the hem of his robe, he squeezed in through a gap in the group.

As he squeezed, he squatted down and did not regard himself as an outsider.

"Hey, what are you doing? What are you waiting for?"

Coincidentally, it may be that the hearts of his peers are connected. The place where Liu Che squeezed past is exactly where Gu Zheng, the youngest in the crowd, is located.

Gu Zheng, a newcomer, has never seen the Emperor today. When he heard the inquiry and turned his face, he saw a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, staring at him with an expression I'm curious to tell me.

Suddenly... Gu Zheng was stunned, and then his eyes naturally looked at Liu Che's hem. He had a general guess about the identity of the person in front of him.

Gu Zheng's face remained unchanged. He did not reveal Liu Che's identity, but answered Liu Che's questions very seriously and honestly.

"We are waiting for the emergence of an updated material."

"If we are lucky enough to succeed, in a quarter of an hour, there will be a more tough material in our imperial court workshop, which can be used to forge today's weapons."

"If there is any technical name that can name this new material, I will probably call this technology steel pouring method, and the material is named high carbon steel."

"If this material is successfully smelted, it will bring a qualitative leap to the iron smelting in the Han Dynasty."

"It can also speed up the generation efficiency and improve the output of the workshop. At least, it will not make excellent weapons scarce, so that every soldier can hope to be equipped with better weapons."

"Do you think it's worth waiting here?"

After hearing Gu Zheng's explanation, Liu Che's eyes changed. He rarely put away his ruffian form. For the first time, he got his thumb towards Gu Zheng and returned a word: "value!"

After saying this, Liu Che didn't say a word more. Instead, he squatted together with a group of old men, like watching the little widow take a bath... Looking at the middle corner of the earth.

"Jingle"

Time passed smoothly and slowly. The craftsman in charge of timing sounded the small copper bell hung beside the workshop to remind Gu Zheng that it was time to start the furnace.

As the sound sounded, the men around the stove, one by one, stood up and cast their eager eyes on Gu Zheng.

Gu Zheng, who was watched, held a long handled sledgehammer in his hand. After looking around for a circle, he shouted in a low voice: "open the furnace, connect the groove, drain and forge!"

"The receiver is ready!"

After the sound fell, the sledgehammer in his hand was picked up high and struck in the direction of the discharge port of the mud furnace with an indomitable momentum.

"When!"

"When!"

The sound is brighter and lighter than before.

It was not until the third impact sounded that the protruding outlet was knocked open by Gu Zheng's hammer.

The white and yellowish open fire whizzed out from the mouth of the furnace, but it burst out after touching the cold air outside.

This was the last trace of smoke and fire trapped in the furnace, and the iron juice steaming with white fog rolled out with the release of this trace of fire. After the slot receiving assistant knocked the slot in place, it flowed up the channel towards the same hot casting table in front.

"How's it going? Is it done?"

With the appearance of these red liquids, people around Gu Zheng gathered around the small forging table one by one, looking forward to his judgment.

"It's hard to say. We can't judge until the finished product is forged."

"Ah..."

Liu Che on one side was greatly disappointed, and immediately followed him with a loud sigh.

And this cry is the complete pull back of everyone's mind.

They, the craftsmen who were all focused on the casting furnace, turned and glared in the direction of the mourner.

Who has no common sense? The reform and innovation of this forging skill are completed with repeated attempts and repeated failures.

If you want to test the success of a new technology, you can only judge it from the quality of finished products.

Isn't this the basic common sense of a craftsman?

Is this here to dismantle the stage? Who is so wicked!

When they see this, it's amazing. Many people's eyes are about to fall out.

"Your Majesty... What are you doing here?"

You'll die if you squeak!

You'll be scared to death, you know?

But they dare not make complaints about it. Instead, they are two of their clothes, and they stand down in front of this young emperor. They are all solemn and lively.

This behavior came suddenly. As a new young man who had never seen an emperor, what was his reaction?

Gu Zheng successfully created the image of a simple, honest and straight technician who studied wholeheartedly.

He first scratched his hair blankly, then fell with the names of the people around him, and then gradually grew up.

Then it becomes bigger and bigger, and finally forms an incredible state of dementia.

It was this honest man's expression that completely pleased Liu Che surrounded by a group of smart people.

The young emperor was really fed up with fighting wits and bravery with those wise courtiers.

In his spare time, he would rather stay with "simple people" like Gu Zheng. The picture is to see through at a glance, and the picture is to feel comfortable.

Therefore, Liu Che, who laughed a lot, did not consider Gu Zheng's psychological tolerance at all. Instead, he patted him on the shoulder with great enthusiasm and comforted him in a very intimate tone: "how can Gu Zheng be scared?"

"I am the emperor who gave you a commendation order."

"Is that how you react when you meet the employer who sends you money and goods?"

Until this time, Gu Zheng seemed to have regained his mind, and his face turned red in an instant.

Under the gaze of a crowd, he kowtowed in the direction of Liu Che, learning from his colleagues to salute.

"Gu Zheng of Pingxian County, meet your majesty."

"Long live my emperor."

After hearing this, Liu Che was very happy. His hand patting Gu Zheng on the shoulder still didn't stop.

"Hey, your congratulations are good."

"Long live, long live, good, good. If I say, long live, the word should be prepared for me, the Ming Lord."

"Who can afford the word long live except me?"
