Chapter 174 Rune Ink Worker

"Gao He, how is the new rune steelmaking furnace?" "Master, the rune steelmaking furnace you mentioned is still being researched by the ink workers over there. There are hundreds of seats."

"The daily steel output is also ten tons"

Speaking of this, Gao He was also full of excitement. Steelmaking technology itself is the knowledge and technology mastered by the aristocratic family.

Although Gao's also has it, they don't have such high-temperature steelmaking technology, especially the output is simply astonishing, ten tons a day, nearly 3,000 tons a year.

This is comparable to the annual output of Shenhan's Shaofu.

You know, that's what the Liu family can do by concentrating the power of the gods.

Compared with the fine iron smelted by Shaofu, the steel produced by ordinary steel-making furnaces seems to be of inferior quality. After all, the steel used by Shaofu was refined by the way of Mogong runes.

Of course, the amount of refined iron refined by Shaofu is not too much, only a few hundred tons per year.

Su Fan has seen refined iron, which is actually an alloy, and it is indeed harder than steel.

As for the way of runes, it has also been handed down from hundreds of schools. It is said that Mozi and Guigu have gone through tens of thousands of years to form the current way of runes.

This way of runes uses gods as the brush and the vitality of the world as the ink to draw the way of the world.

It is also somewhat similar to the talismans of the main world.

The way of runes is the study of Mohism. Mohism has been deeply suppressed since the pre-Qin period. Especially after Emperor Wu, when Confucianism came to power, Mohism was suppressed even more. Mohism's theory is still gone.

Only the ink workers left.

The way of runes is used the most, on the walls of various cities, using rune arrays to strengthen the walls.

There are Talismans in the Shaofu who refine steel, after all, it is only a minority.

When Su Fan came to Donghai County, after learning about Fu Dao, and after learning about Taiping Dao, there were some ink workers who knew how to run Fu Dao, so he asked a few of them to come over.

From Su Fan's point of view, these blacksmiths who know the way of talisman are the top talents, strategists, strategists, and they are of little use to Su Fan now.

First of all, after going through several lives, Su Fan's strategy is not bad, and with the eyes of future generations, his strategy is not behind.

He himself can become a top strategist, so he does not lack such people for the time being.

Of course, even if there is a shortage of people, Taipingdao can't give him, because Taipingdao Zhangjiao and the others are short of such people.

Su Fan wanted to develop in a low-key way, especially in farming. Agricultural talents and craftsmen were indispensable. In addition to people, wars were more about logistical competition.

In the history of China, there are really very few people who win with more and win with strategy.

What's more, in this super-martial world, it is unknown how effective strategy can be.

But if you have sufficient logistics, it will be very difficult to lose in a war. Even if you delay, you can drag the enemy to death. Su Fan has always believed in this.

Gong is the head of a hundred schools of thought. If a craftsman wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his tools.

Su Fan has no shortage of food now, and with the continuous land reclamation every year, there will only be more and more food.

Bingjia is the most scarce, even the entire Taipingdao is the most lacking is Bingjia, because these weapons and armor are monopolized by aristocratic families.

Apart from the Liu family, only aristocratic families were able to forge armor. Ordinary people simply did not have this skill and ability.

The gentry monopolizes knowledge, and it has been like this since the pre-Qin period. There are almost no common people who can learn knowledge.

Even in this era, many landlords do not have the opportunity to learn knowledge, and the aristocratic family attaches great importance to knowledge, which is extremely serious.

And the Mo family was at the bottom, so he was not accepted by the aristocratic family, and the final outcome was to dissipate.

As for inkworkers, they haven't dissipated. After all, inkworkers are still in demand, but they can't become a system.

Su Fan came from Taiping Dao, and he wasn't a very good ink artist, and his talisman dao cultivation base was still very shallow.

Fu Dao is also majoring in the way of the soul, and all four of them are only in the soul cultivation stage, two of them have reached the sixth level of soul cultivation, one has reached the seventh level of soul cultivation, and one has reached the fifth level of soul cultivation.

In terms of combat strength, I am afraid that even a martial artist who has practiced strength at the fourth level cannot beat him.

But their role is unimaginable.

Su Fan's steelmaking furnace could not be built without them so quickly. Cultivating the soul and strengthening the spiritual power can enhance the craftsman's ability, especially the enhancement of the five senses, making the craftsman even more powerful.

In future generations, almost all of these craftsmen are national treasures who surpass the eighth-level workers.

"By the way, Gewutang, how is the establishment going?"

Regarding the production of steel, Su Fan really doesn't like it. Three thousand tons a year, what kind of production is this? In later generations, some small steel factories can produce more than this in a day.

Even the Tang Dynasty in the previous life far exceeded this figure.

Of course, Su Fan knew that the steelmaking furnace had just been newly built, and the output was pretty good, at least compared to the output of many aristocratic families.

But Su Fan knew that those thousand-year-old aristocratic families had profound backgrounds, and with thousands of years of accumulation, they could easily pull out hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

The Guangling Gao family is only 800 years old. If they really want to take it, they can also take out 50,000 weapons and armor to arm an army.

Three thousand tons, three million catties, seemed like a terrifying figure, but now under Su Fan's rule, hundreds of thousands of believers consumed more than that in farm tools every year, not to mention weapons.

Not to mention, once it is necessary to forge weapons, it will be even more terrifying.

Especially in this era of super martial arts, ordinary steel weapons, although sharp, are not enough.

In the Tang Dynasty, the ten-refined weapons are excellent in the army, but in this world, they naturally become inferior products.

Because many warriors might break the ten-refined weapon if they broke it.

The military needs weapons that have been tempered hundreds of times or even thousands of times. Only after the steel has been tempered by craftsmen can such weapons truly meet the requirements.

Of course, if some steel was tempered by runes, or directly blessed with runes, and became a talisman, that would be a different matter.

It's just that such a luxurious weapon can't be carried by even aristocratic families.

If you want to create a talisman, you must have an ink worker who understands the way of talisman. This kind of talent is rare in aristocratic families.

So Su Fan planned ahead and established the Gewutang in order to increase ink workers.

One or two ink workers are useless, but if there are one thousand or two thousand, and then the assembly line produces talisman vessels, then if one person in his army has one talisman vessel, it may directly overwhelm the world.

"My lord, the Gewu Hall has been established, but there is no teacher for this teaching. The four ink workers still have work every day."

"It doesn't matter, you can let them know how to read first, then teach them some common craftsman's skills, and finally teach them the way of talisman slowly."

"step by step"

Su Fan lacks ink craftsmen, ordinary craftsmen are also lacking, Gao's can't support them, and Taipingdao doesn't have many subordinates, so he needs to cultivate them slowly.

Fortunately, he is not in a hurry now, and it is still early before the future battle for hegemony.

As for the Yellow Turban Uprising, Su Fan made up his mind that he would not leave here. If he really needed soldiers from the imperial court to fight him, he would fight if he could.

On the Donghai County side, he has sent people to find several islands.
