There were two famous craftsmen in the Three Kingdoms. One was called Pu Yuan, and the other was called Ma Jun.
There was no need to think about Pu Yuan or Bai Feng. He was now under Liu Bei.
After all, Liu Guan and Zhang Xuan's weapons were forged by Pu Yuan.
The only one he could find now was Ma Jun, but it wasn't that easy to find him.
In fact, Ma Jun didn't know as much as Pu Yuan when it came to steel.
After all, Ma Jun was an expert in farming tools and wood products.
However, as a craftsman, he knew a little about steel.
After all, not all farming tools were made of wood.
Bai Feng wasn't omnipotent. At the very least, he didn't know anything about smelting steel.
Even if Bai Feng had the blueprints for a steelmaking furnace, what was the use if he didn't know how to make one?
Fortunately, Ma Jun's reputation was still relatively high.
Ma Jun was from Fufeng, and Fufeng wasn't far from Xu Chang.
Thus, Bai Feng directly picked twenty people from the Black Armor Cavalry to follow him. He rode on the Snow-Treading Ebony Centipede and headed toward Fufeng.
This time, Bai Feng brought Ling Ju and Lv Lingqi with him.
These two girls were quite capable. It would be a pity to leave them behind to guard the door.
This time, he brought them with him in hopes that they could learn something useful in the future.
As a professor under Cao Cao, Ma Jun spent most of his time researching equipment when he had nothing else to do.
However, Ma Jun wasn't famous yet, so not many people knew where he lived.
Thus, it took Bai Feng a lot of time to find Ma Jun.
Thus, after Bai Feng arrived in Fufeng, he didn't search blindly. Instead, he went straight to the governor of Fufeng.
Fufeng Prefecture Chief didn't expect that the famous military advisor would come to visit him in such a small place.
The governor immediately came out to welcome him.
"This humble one didn't know that the military advisor was coming. Please forgive me for not coming out to welcome you."
Bai Feng went straight to the point.
"It was just a spur of the moment idea. You don't have to be like this."
"I'm here to look for someone called Ma Jun. Do you remember him?"
The governor immediately frowned.
"Ma Jun?"
"I do have some impression of this name, but this person is very adventurous. He might not be in Fufeng right now."
"Why does the military advisor want to find an ignorant and incompetent person?"
The governor really couldn't understand. Ma Jun was actually quite famous in Fufeng, so the governor knew about him.
However, most of Ma Jun's fame was negative.
After all, he liked to travel around now. In other people's eyes, he was just idling around.
As for the tools he made, he had yet to become famous. Others did not understand, so they assumed that Ma Jun was an ignorant and incompetent person.
Therefore, it was not strange at all for the governor to find this strange.
Of course, Bai Feng couldn't be bothered to explain. He asked the governor for a list of names. After finding Ma Jun's address, he hurried over with the black-armored cavalry.
At this moment, Bai Feng was silently praying that Ma Jun was at home.
If he was out traveling, it was hard to say when he would be able to make this furnace.
It wasn't that there were no craftsmen in the north, but Ma Jun was definitely the most suitable.
From the history books, Ma Jun was a person who liked to innovate and was willing to accept new things.
In this aspect, he was different from the vast majority of ancient people.
Thus, if he were to make the furnace, not only would he be able to understand the blueprint, he might even be able to understand the essence of it.
After all, just having the blueprint was useless. Only by understanding the essence could one make the furnace.
For example, Ma Jun had modified the Zhuge repeating crossbow, and the results were excellent. Compared to the original, both the firing speed and the ease of loading were greatly improved.
Soon, Bai Feng arrived at Ma Jun's door.
Fortunately, when he heard the sound of hammering, Bai Feng confirmed that Ma Jun was at home!
This was undoubtedly good news. Thinking of this, Bai Feng raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Hearing the knocking, the hammering sound in the room slowly disappeared, and a series of footsteps could be heard.
Then, a dispirited-looking man in his thirties opened the door.
"Who is it?"
The man sized up Bai Feng and said impatiently.
However, right after that, he saw 20 fully-armored cavalrymen behind Bai Feng.
"You, what are you doing?"
The man immediately took a few steps back and hurriedly tried to close the door.
However, Bai Feng reached out his hand and blocked the door. No matter how hard the man tried, he could not break free from Bai Feng.
"Don't be afraid, we mean no harm."
"You are Ma Jun?"
Bai Feng asked calmly.
Ma Jun looked cautiously at Bai Feng and muttered, "Yes, I am.
May I know who you are … "
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"I am Bai Feng, Wei Emperor's military advisor."
Ma Jun's eyes lit up as he looked at Bai Feng in disbelief.
Ever since Bai Feng single-handedly wiped out the Xiongnu, Bai Feng's name had spread far and wide.
Even so, aside from Cao Cao's subordinates, not many had seen Bai Feng before. Unlike Cao Cao, however, only a few had seen her before.
Even so, Ma Jun still looked suspiciously at Bai Feng.
After all, Bai Feng looked too young.
However, the armor of the soldiers behind him clearly indicated that they were not ordinary soldiers.
From the looks of it, they should be the main body.
"Military … Military Advisor, may I know why you are looking for this lowly one?"
Ma Jun asked cautiously.
He really couldn't understand why the renowned military advisor was looking for him.
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"Look at the armor of the soldiers behind me. What do you think is different?"
In fact, even without Bai Feng's words, Ma Jun's gaze had been fixed on the armor of the Black Armored Cavalry.
As a master machinist, Ma Jun was extremely sensitive in this aspect.
He could tell at a glance that the armor on their bodies was definitely not made of ordinary iron.
In fact, it was even better than the armor of the Ferocious Cavalry!
"What … what material is this armor made of?"
"Forgive this lowly one for not being able to tell."
Ma Jun couldn't help but shrink back.
Bai Feng smiled faintly.
"Hundred wrought steel."
"Hundred wrought steel?"
This was the first time Ma Jun had heard of this name.
Hundred wrought steel? What was this?
Could it be that, as the name implied, it was a piece of steel that had been tempered thousands of times?
But how much manpower and material resources would this require?
Moreover, Ma Jun had never heard of Hundred wrought steel.
Bai Feng smiled faintly. After entering the door, he told Ma Jun all his thoughts.
In the end, Bai Feng expressed his intentions. He hoped that Ma Jun could make a steelmaking furnace based on the blueprint.
As long as there was a steelmaking furnace, he could use the infusion method.
Hundred wrought steel could be easily made with the infusion method. Moreover, as long as there was enough time, Thousand wrought steel could be made.
Moreover, the output would be nearly a hundred times higher than before!
These few words directly overturned Ma Jun's worldview.
Ma Jun even felt that he was dreaming!
However, when Bai Feng took out the blueprint, Ma Jun understood.
