Steel-making was a very complicated and boring process.
Without the help of machinery, one could only repeat a few steps to make steel.
Fortunately, after adding the materials, one could just wait for the furnace to forge on its own.
It was like a kiln.
Therefore, after adding the materials, Bai Feng instructed everyone to stay away from the furnace in order to prevent any accidents from happening to the furnace, which could lead to the loss of lives.
Bai Feng did not want anyone to die in his house. He would not be able to sleep peacefully if that happened.
In fact, Bai Feng did not have much hope for this experiment.
In fact, it was normal for it to fail.
Failure was the mother of success. Success was also explored through countless failed experiments.
Although Ma Jun had the blueprint and strictly followed it.
It was difficult to guarantee that there would not be any slight deviation that would cause the furnace to change.
However, Bai Feng was already prepared to use a few more skill points to get the alloy and use it to make the furnace.
As long as he could make the furnace, even if he used up all the tens of thousands of skill points he had, it would still be worth it.
Soon, under the heating from below, the furnace began to operate.
The blueprint of the furnace was almost the same as the modern one. It was a product of the industrial revolution in modern times.
Compared to the steel filling method that was just invented during the Northern Song Dynasty, the furnace used was countless times better.
The stability, production, and so on were all generally improved.
Therefore, Bai Feng spent so much effort to make such a furnace.
In fact, in addition to the furnace, there was also a semi-automatic steel forging method.
However, the irrigation method also required a lot of equipment. Although it saved time and effort compared to the furnace, the preparation work was more troublesome.
If they could use the furnace first, they could wait until steel became popular and then use the irrigation method to forge steel.
The most important thing now was to make the steel.
Forging steel took a very long time.
Bai Feng and Ma Jun were on a high platform and could see the situation in the yard.
Bai Feng took out some wine from before for the two of them to drink.
Ma Jun did not like to drink usually, but he would occasionally drink a few cups.
After all, in ancient times, most men would drink. After all, the alcohol content of wine was low.
Moreover, there was a saying that drinking could solve a thousand worries.
"As expected of Milord, he actually has such good wine!"
When Ma Junguang smelled it, he immediately felt the fragrance assailing his nostrils and could not help but exclaim in admiration.
However, when he tasted it, he discovered that it was dozens of times better than he had expected!
Bai Feng was used to his reaction.
Compared to Cao Chun and the others, Ma Jun's reaction was relatively normal.
Just look at Cao Chun and Cao Ren. At that time, both of them wanted to stuff their heads into the wine jar.
And the result?
The two of them couldn't handle the alcohol and their legs were weak as they walked. In the end, they had to be supported by the Ferocious Cavalry soldiers.
Bai Feng sipped his wine while carefully observing the movements of the steel furnace.
Fortunately, although there was a loud noise, everything was normal.
From the looks of it, the parts should have been assembled perfectly.
Otherwise, it would have produced an unhealthy sound at the beginning of the firing process.
Currently, the humming sound was a healthy sound.
Otherwise, it would have produced a creaking sound.
If it was any worse, it would have exploded as soon as the steel was poured.
Thus, Bai Feng was at ease and allowed the guards to add steel.
"There is something I would like to ask Milord."
At this time, Ma Jun suddenly spoke.
Bai Feng looked at Ma Jun.
At this time, Ma Jun's face was slightly red. He seemed to be in high spirits and his eyes were wide open.
Bai Feng smiled.
"Sir, if you have any questions, just ask. I will tell you everything I know."
Ma Jun coughed and mustered his courage.
"Milord, the firearms and grenades that you told me about before."
"Can I take a look at the blueprints now?"
In truth, Ma Jun had wanted to say this for a long time, but he did not dare to.
Ever since Bai Feng mentioned firearms and grenades, Ma Jun had been thinking about them day and night. He especially wanted to see what they looked like.
Most importantly, he wanted to make them himself.
Such a powerful killing machine sounded extremely powerful. If he could make it, he would feel a great sense of accomplishment.
Ma Jun did not have any other intentions, whether it was firearms or grenades.
Even if Bai Feng casually gave him a blueprint of a machine, Ma Jun would be impatient to take a look.
After all, as a master craftsman, Ma Jun especially wanted to challenge himself and make something he had never seen before.
Unfortunately, he was limited by the era. Without the support of industry, it was very difficult to forge something that was considered rare by the Three Kingdoms.
Even so, Ma Jun still managed to create the Water Spinning Hundred Plays, the new Silk Weaving Machine, the South-Pointing Chariot, the Dragon Bone Water Wheel, and so on.
After that, he discovered the Zhuge Repeating Crossbow, which was a Divine Weapon, and modified it.
Now, Ma Jun only wanted to make better things.
However, Bai Feng's appearance gave him hope.
The blueprints in Bai Feng's hands were all things he had never heard of before!
If he could make it, Ma Jun would have no regrets even if he died.
Bai Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Of course. Sir, please wait for a moment.
"After the steelmaking furnace is operating, I will take a look at the steel before making a decision.
"If the steelmaking furnace is not mature enough, even if you look at the blueprints, it will only make you feel more uncomfortable.
"After all, if you can't make it with just the blueprints and without the materials, it will be extremely uncomfortable."
Ma Jun was immediately moved to tears.
"Thank you, sir, for your understanding!"
However, Bai Feng was more than 90% sure that nothing would happen to the steelmaking furnace this time.
Since it was operating normally and had been operating for more than 15 minutes, it should be fine.
This basically meant that the steelmaking furnace was very stable.
Bai Feng could not help but secretly give Ma Jun a thumbs up.
This person was indeed a master craftsman.
With blueprints and materials, he could make things a thousand years in the future.
Thinking of this, Bai Feng could not help but sigh faintly.
If he could get Pu Yuan, it would be even better.
Although Ma Jun was good at machinery, he was not good at forging weapons.
And the master of forging weapons in the Three Kingdoms was Pu Yuan.
Although firearms would be the trend in the future, cold weapons had not yet been eliminated in the modern era. There were many improved versions.
No matter how good a firearm was, there would be a time when there would be no ammunition.
And at that time, an exquisite dagger or a very useful cold weapon would be a soldier's life-saving means. It was also a great killing weapon in a desperate fight.
Bai Feng naturally had blueprints for such things.
