Chapter 158

"Adult Ren, do you think this method is really feasible?" Tao Jiyuan questioned that although burning a stone was like this, he still felt that the idea was a bit absurd.

Not only he, but also Gu Qiong, Tengji and other people listening nearby have this idea.

"Whether it is feasible or not always needs to try. After all, isn't there a better way now?" Ren 8000 stall road.

"Yes." Tao Jiyuan nodded.

"Lord Gu, please arrange it."

Next, the valley dome ordered 100 guards and pressed 300 prisoners to cut down wood in the distance.

The three prisoners were tied together with ropes on their feet. Three hundred prisoners were exactly one hundred groups, and one hundred guards could just guard them.

Damo mountain is a different kind. There are many mountains around here. Each one is green, except that there is no bare grass in Damo mountain.

The distance to cut wood is not close. After all, cooking in close daily life is almost cut.

During the whole day, a total of 30 tree trunks with a diameter of more than 20 cm and a length of more than 3 meters were transported back.

The prisoners in the mine also stopped to dig the mountain first, dragged the thirty logs to the platform at the foot of Damo mountain, and then cut them into small pieces.

After working for two days, a total of 50 tree trunks were dragged back. What came back the first day was also cut into arm thick and thin wood. Next, it was only necessary to burn the mountain.

……

A team of more than 100 people, with more than 20 carts and more than 70 Chajiao cattle, marched towards Damao mountain.

Chajiao cattle is one of the meat often used by Dayao. It grows very fast. It is half as fast as Qu cattle. Qu cattle can mature in five years, and this kind of Chajiao cattle only needs more than three years.

But this kind of beef tastes very ordinary. It's more firewood. It's the food of the general army.

The rest of them send materials to damoshan iron mine every 20 days. In addition to food, they also have some well-made pickaxes, iron cones and other cutting tools. The tool consumption of damoshan iron mine is very large.

"Lu Shuai, where do you look?" When they turned to the foot of a mountain, they saw thick smoke rolling in the direction of Damo mountain, and someone immediately shouted.

In Dayao, ten people are in a team, and there is a team, which is from nine grades. The twelve teams are one brigade, with a brigade commander and eight grades. The fifth brigade is a regiment with a school captain from grade seven to grade six.

Generally, a regiment with logistics and sundries has 650 to 700 people.

The five regiments were an army, ranging from 3300 to 3800.

The five armies were a government, about fifteen thousand people.

This is the whole brigade. The brigade commander in the brigade looked up when he heard the speech. His face suddenly changed: "there is an accident in Damo mountain! Go back and report to two people. One team is guarding here, and the others put down their things and come with their weapons."

At the command, everyone threw their belongings aside, held the long knife tightly in one hand and marched quickly towards Dama mountain.

Lu Shuai frowned as he walked forward. How could something happen to Damo mountain? Did the prisoners revolt? But even if they rebelled, the 300 guards there were enough to defeat them.

Even without 300, 200 people can completely defeat them.

So what's the matter with the smoke? It's clearly arson.

Thinking and worrying about the situation of Damo mountain, Lu Shuai hurried to the foot of Damo mountain after only two hours.

However, different from the chaos he imagined, the guards at the foot of the mountain still stood there quietly, as if nothing had happened.

"What happened?" Lu Shuai asked in a hurry. He looked up at the thick smoke above. It was like a pillar of smoke. He could smell the burning smell here.

"Nothing happened. Everything is normal." The guard replied immediately.

After hearing this, Lu Shuai was relieved. Then he was silly. Since he was all right, what was going on here?

"Sheng lvshuai, you can go up and have a look." The guard also didn't understand the details, but said, "it's to burn and crack Damo mountain."

Damo mountain? How is that possible? Isn't that nonsense? After hearing this, Lu Shuai thought that he and others rushed to this matter, and the fire in his stomach didn't come at all.

"You go back and bring the supplies, and let someone chase the two back. I'll go up and have a look." Sheng lvshuai dropped a word, wiped the sweat on his head and hurried to the mountain.

At this time, Shan zhi8000 and others stood in front of the wooden house and watched the fire in the distance. A large amount of wood was burning there, and the flame rising into the sky was difficult to approach.

"I've seen several adults at the end of the blooming mountain." When I see several people on the mountain in full bloom, my eyes shrink. What surprised him most was not the official positions of Ren 8000 and Tao Jiyuan, but the sight of flying riders here.

You know, Feiqi is the female emperor's personal guard and won't be touched easily. Who is this time?

"This is Lord Ren, Lord Tao, and Lord Teng of the central imperial palace from LAN city. It's time for you to open the mountain. Why did you come by yourself?" Tengji stretched out his neck and looked into the distance, but there was no one behind except the blooming mountain.

The blooming mountain couldn't cry or smile and said, "Lord Gu, I saw a pillar of smoke here all the way. I thought something had happened. I came in a hurry and left everything behind. Now they go back and take the team."

Gu Qiong laughed at this.

Later, the blooming mountain asked carefully, "Sir, what is this for?"

"What Ren Fucheng said is hot. Anyway, after burning, pour water to see if it can crack." Gu Qiong touched the beard on his face and turned his head and said.

"The iron mountain is full of iron. Isn't this quenching?" The blooming mountain looked confused. Even if you can't make iron, you've heard of it.

What's the difference between putting the beaten iron into the water?

"Yes." Gu Qiong patted his thigh. "Why didn't I remember it?"

"Lord Ren, Lord Ren, isn't this quenching?" Gu Qiong turned his head and shouted.

Ren 8000 listened to him and nodded. "There are special processes and requirements for quenching. In general, the carbon and other substances in the iron have been discharged by hammering to become steel. Even if there is something wrong, it will crack, let alone iron. You don't have to worry about this."

After listening to this, everyone looked unidentified and fierce. Anyway, it sounded as if Ren was better than himself.

"I didn't expect Ren to know how to build." Tao Jiyuan said casually.

"A little. Let's burn the fire until the afternoon. Don't add firewood after noon. I'll go back to my room first." Ren 8000 said hello to several people and went back to his room.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, when Ren 8000 estimated that it was almost time, he came out of the wooden house and asked people to shout out Tao Jiyuan, Gu Qiong and others.

After the fire began to decrease, Ren 8000 ordered, "carry water and pour it directly on Damo mountain."

Hearing this, the people immediately moved, and the others cheered up.

The fire was only ten meters long. As people poured buckets of water on the mountain wall there, they kept making a "hiss" sound. Every bucket of water was a mass of white steam. Soon, even people nearby could not stand.

Seeing this, Ren 8000 retreated some distance.

After half an hour, Ren 8000 waved to stop the crowd: "almost. Go and have a look when the steam dissipates."

Then they waited until it was getting dark and the crowd approached with torches.

"Can it really crack?" Several people who knew the truth of this matter were not sure, so they turned their eyes to Ren 8000.

"Look at it right away." Ren 8000 said, feeling a little nervous. All I know is theory. If I don't succeed, I'll lose adults. Moreover, a large number of concave mirrors can't be made in a short time. I'm afraid I have nothing to do here.

With the fire shining on the mountain wall, the people looked at the mountain wall as before, and suddenly felt a clatter in their heart. Did they not succeed?

Ren 8000 said nothing and stopped one meter before the mountain wall. He looked at the mountain wall carefully, and finally showed a relaxed look on his face.

"Crack, it's really cracked!" Gu Qiong went to his side and looked carefully at the mountain wall. He was surprised and shouted.

When the torch shone on the wall of Dama mountain, there were only small cracks all over it.

Although not very big, mining along the cracks can be at least twice as fast.

"Lord Ren, this method can really be done. Tao really admires it. Lord Ren has made great contributions this time." Tao Jiyuan came forward and saw the crack on the mountain wall. He was surprised at first, and then showed a look of congratulations.

I didn't expect Ren 8000 to really do it, and in such a simple but unexpected way.
