Following the sound of "success," it indicated that they had finally successfully converted from electricity to wind power.
"Begin the melting!" Feng Yu Heng said in a clear voice, "Wind power is feasible. Begin the melting!"
The soldiers working the bellows didn't understand what she meant by melting, but the joy of success had already raised their spirits to the highest point. Even though they were already tired to the point that their arms were sore, they still didn't feel tired at all. They confidently said, "We have plenty of strength. We'll help the general and county princess pull the bellows. However much wind county princess wants, we'll pull out as much wind as possible!"
"Alright!" Feng Yu Heng nodded and then said to Xuan Tianming, "The melting period of steelmaking is mainly for open hearth and electric furnaces. What we're doing now isn't open hearth or electric furnace, but rather a wind furnace. However, the principle is still the same. From the time the molten iron is added to the time the furnace material is completely melted, this is called the melting period. The task of the melting period is to quickly melt the furnace material and raise the temperature of the furnace material, as well as create the slag for the melting period. " After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to add the molten iron and said, "You might not understand what I'm saying, but it's fine. Let me try it out first. You should be able to understand after seeing it once."
This time, Feng Yu Heng personally completed a series of operations. However, she didn't think it was very standard, so she repeatedly tried it two more times. It wasn't until the third time that she nodded, "There's no problem. The melting stage isn't difficult. You can try it. "
Xuan Tianming took over her work. In the end, he had experience in making iron, so he operated much more smoothly than Feng Yu Heng. He was actually able to complete it in one try.
The two of them melted all of the materials in one go. This melting process took an entire day and night.
The soldiers working the bellows changed four times, but none of them were willing to return to their tents to rest. They simply set up temporary tents on the side and changed shifts to sleep. When they woke up, they would immediately come over to help.
Feng Yu Heng felt that this method was quite efficient, so she discussed with Xuan Tianming, "Why don't we transfer some soldiers to work on the bellows? This is physical work, and those whose physique can't keep up won't be able to do it. What's more, when they started mass production in the future, they couldn't just rely on one bellows. At the very least, they had to ensure that there was one furnace. We need to prepare more to prevent damage. "
Xuan Tianming naturally understood this, so he asked her, "How many people can do it?"
She thought for a moment. "At least a hundred people."
"No problem." He turned his head and said to a soldier: "Did you hear what the county princess said? Go, get a hundred soldiers ready at any time. "
That soldier was just an ordinary soldier. Normally, he would at most glance at Xuan Tianming from afar. He wouldn't even speak to him. For the past few days, he had worked with the two of them to work on the bellows. Occasionally, he could even exchange a few words. He already felt that it was a great honor. In his heart, he thought that in the future, he would have the capital to brag to others. After all, he was someone who had spoken to the general and the county princess.
Now, Xuan Tianming actually wanted him to transfer soldiers? The soldier was stunned. After thinking for a moment, he thought that it was possible that the general wanted him to inform Deputy General Qian? After all, Deputy General Qian usually had the final say when it came to transferring soldiers. But … … "General, Deputy General Qian personally went to find a blacksmith. He won't be back for a few days."
Xuan Tianming frowned: "What does him going to find a blacksmith have to do with me asking you to transfer soldiers?" Thinking about it again, he somewhat understood. He casually took off a command medallion from his body and said, "Pass down the order to transfer one hundred soldiers to assist the county princess in producing steel. These one hundred soldiers will be under your command. You have to raise your spirits."
Feng Yu Heng saw that the soldier was stunned. She couldn't help but laugh: "Your general promoted you. Why aren't you thanking him? Hurry up and do your job."
Only then did the soldier react. With a plop, he knelt down in front of them: "This subordinate thanks the general, thanks the county princess! This subordinate will do it right away. "As he spoke, he took Xuan Tianming's command tablet, turned around, and ran away.
Feng Yu Heng said again: "When I'm immersed in work, it's easy to neglect the things around me. In the end, you're more observant than me."
Xuan Tianming nodded: "En. Although it's just a simple job like pulling the bellows, there is still a certain degree of skill involved. At the same time, it also tests a person's endurance. Although we don't lack people to pull the bellows, only a dozen of them have experience. We can't train the hundred people again, so we can only let these dozen people teach. Therefore, this temporary bellows team also needs a small general. Not only will he teach them the technique, but he will also be responsible for deploying the manpower. We can't let the order be disrupted. That child just now looked clever. These two days, he's been the most diligent and hardworking. We can rest assured that he'll be in charge of the bellows team. "
Feng Yu Heng leaned on his body. After resting for a while, she felt a bit lazy. Her arms and legs felt sore. "If you think it's good, then it's good. When it comes to commanding people, I'm far inferior to you."
The two of them didn't hide their conversation from the others. They didn't even deliberately lower their voices. The surrounding soldiers who hadn't dispersed all heard their conversation. They were all very excited. Someone couldn't help but take the initiative to ask: "Does the general mean that we can stay and continue to produce steel?"
The others also opened their mouths to ask: "Can we really participate in the production of steel?"
Xuan Tianming laughed loudly: "Of course. You're the first to learn how to pull the bellows with this kind of strength. The hundred soldiers that will be transferred will be counting on you to teach them!"
Everyone rejoiced and stood up to cheer.
Feng Yu Heng watched this scene, and the corners of her lips couldn't help but curl up. She said to Xuan Tianming: "It's still the military camp that's good. The soldiers' thoughts are simple. If they laugh, they laugh. If they get angry, they get angry. If they get angry, they get angry. If they get angry, they get into a fight. It's not like the inner courtyards of the manor. There are no open fights. It's all secret fights. Everyone has ulterior motives. The father is not a father, the daughter is not a daughter. The old are not compassionate, and the young are not filial. I'm really tired of that kind of life. Xuan Tianming, it's great that you were able to bring me out. "
He smirked, "I already knew that you weren't someone who liked the inner courtyards. Damn girl, if it weren't for me protecting you and supporting you, do you think that you could act so unbridled and tyrannical in the Feng manor? Do you really think that the current left prime minister is a soft persimmon? Your temper has never changed. Those women all have ninety-nine different schemes in their hearts. You're just straightforward. If I didn't protect you, I really wouldn't feel at ease! "
Feng Yu Heng let out a "pft" and laughed, "Xuan Tianming, do you need to be so thick-skinned?" But she only said this before stopping.
In truth, thinking about it, what he said was correct. Why was she able to straighten her back so quickly in the Feng manor? Why was she able to make the people of the Feng manor both hate and fear her time and time again? And why was she able to obtain the title of county princess Ji 'an? Was it just because her medical skills were good? In the end, it was because of her relationship with Prince Yu and not because she had any skills.
"This is also good." She changed the topic and said with satisfaction: "In the past, I relied on myself for everything. I looked down on those women who relied on men. Thinking about it now, relying on men really is comfortable! I don't need to think too much. As long as I do what I want to do, my man can help me sweep away all obstacles behind my back. This kind of feeling is simply too cool! "
Xuan Tianming laughed, "To be able to make a man who is strong enough to support all of your dreams completely devoted to you, that's your own skill. That's why in the end, you still rely on yourself." He patted Feng Yu Heng's shoulder, "You've been up for another two days and one night. Go back to the military camp and see the madam. Then soak in a hot bath and have a good rest."
"Then what about you?" Feng Yu Heng understood his meaning, "You're not going to rest. You're going to continue working?"
Xuan Tianming said: "In the end, I am a man. My physical strength is a bit stronger than yours. I am preparing to go see those blacksmiths and pick a few people to teach them the first two steps. I'll have them make slag in Xu Tian Cave first. When the people that Qian Li found come back, they can continue working on the next step. "
She thought about it and felt that this was fine, but she still advised him: "The people that we found first are all experienced blacksmiths. Just having them make slag is too much of a waste. It would be better to teach the first two steps to the apprentices that they brought with them. Let the young people do the first two steps and have the experienced people stay behind to carry on with the later steps."
Xuan Tianming nodded, "That's reasonable. Quickly go back. I'll go do it now. "
When Feng Yu Heng returned to the military camp, the soldiers were being trained by their adjutants. She first went to find He Gan and Xi Fang to ask about the situation with the Divine Intent Army. When she heard that there were no problems, she finally relaxed and went to see Yao shi.
After a few days, Yao shi's drug addiction was basically under control. Wang Chuan told her: "Madam hasn't had a relapse in the past three days. She also seems to be much more spirited than before."
The two walked while raising the curtain and entering the large tent. Yao shi was currently eating porridge with Huang Quan. Seeing Feng Yu Heng arrive, she quickly asked her: "Heng, have you not eaten anything?" She then urged Huang Quan: "Quickly go and scoop some more porridge for Heng Zheng to drink."
She did not hold back and sat down next to Yao shi to drink with her. While drinking, she observed Yao shi and found that she was indeed much better. Her complexion was slightly red, and her eyes were no longer as unfocused as they were a few days ago. Although it could not be compared to when she was healthy, overall, it was already pretty good.
Feng Yu Heng let out a long sigh, as the stone in her heart finally fell to the ground, "Seeing mother get better with each passing day, daughter's heart feels much more relaxed." She spoke truthfully, "I really was afraid that I could not cure mother. In the future, I would not be able to explain myself to grandfather."
Yao shi finished her last bite and put down the bowl. She sighed and said: "Heng, you don't need to worry too much. The Yao family is a medical family. Although I did not inherit any skills, I grew up in that kind of environment. I know that even if your maternal grandfather personally came, he would be helpless against something like spirit-altering drug. For you to be able to treat me to this degree is already a miracle. "
Whether it was a miracle or not, Feng Yu Heng did not know, but she still remembered that the reason why Yao shi was able to endure was because she had seen Zirui. Thus, she took the initiative to say: "Mother's body still needs to be nurtured. Although the drug addiction has not flared up in the past few days, it is still not completely out of danger. I fear that in ten days or so, there will be a small flare up. It will not be as painful as before, but it will still make people seriously ill. I have calculated that it will take at least half a year for you to fully recover. When that time comes, Heng will personally send mother to Xiao Zhou. Is that alright? "
Yao shi's eyes flashed with uncontrollable expectation, as she repeatedly nodded, "Good, good."
While she was speaking, Wang Chuan came in from outside and whispered something into her ear. Feng Yu Heng's expression changed without anyone noticing, but it quickly returned to normal. She then said to Yao shi: "His Highness sent someone to call me. Recently, I have been busy in the camp and cannot accompany mother. Mother, please do not blame Heng."
Yao shi quickly said: "Quickly go. I am fine here. Don't delay your steel production."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and nodded. She stood up and brought Wang Chuan out of the tent. Her footsteps were hurried and there was a bit of panic … …
