Jiang Xingchen had just finished the test in the morning and didn't even have lunch. In the afternoon, Xianning called him over and continued to test the newly sent mineral materials. ≤

Of course, Jiang Xingchen would not say anything. Now, the development of manganese steel is the top priority in the development of the territory. Hearing the message from private soldiers, he rushed to the research institute. As for bicycles, he has mastered the production technology anyway, so he just needs to make another one.

When operating the formation, Jiang Xingchen tested the materials sent one by one, and eliminated useless things by using the familiarity of the formation feedback.

"Huh?" When Jiang Xingchen saw the shiny black stone, he stopped suddenly. The stone was a bit strange, with a metallic luster, and there were radial stripes on the surface, which looked very special.

Jiang Xingchen reached out to pick it up, but did not use the formation, but rubbed it first... After this rub, a new discovery immediately made him look like a layer of black things dyed on his hands.

"I'll go, stop this thing from coal!" Jiang Xingchen said intimately and rubbed it hard. But a small piece of the surface of the ore was actually dropped by him.

"So crisp!" Jiang Xingchen pinched the falling small piece and broke it gently, and it even broke it in half again.

Then he used the formation to sense it, it was definitely a brand new thing, without a familiar feeling. Now he could be sure that this thing was definitely not coal, otherwise it was related to charcoal, and the formation would definitely feed back his familiar perception.

"First extract this ore and try to restore it with charcoal and Yuanstone!" Jiang Xingchen immediately handed the ore to Xianning. The aluminum thermal method cannot be used yet. The current technology of aluminum cannot be extracted at all, so the electrolysis method is even less important. So regardless of whether the extracted metal contains carbon and the purity, this is one of the few methods now.

When extracting chromium from the black stones across the desert (just be chromium) was also used to restore the charcoal stone. As for the ancestors in the past, they could use chromium on swords. He was so impressed that he could not even imagine it.

"Okay! I'll give it a try!" Xian Ning took the black ore. She could see from Jiang Xingchen's expression that she attached importance to this ore.

Xianning has always been impatient for experiments and scientific research and never waited. While Jiang Xingchen was still testing other ores, Xianning had already hurriedly walked out.

After a long time, Jiang Xingchen completed the test and sorted all the ores. Seeing that Xian Ning had not returned, he went back to the Lord's Mansion first. The metal experiment was not that simple. Even if the metal element could be restored, it would have to be melted with the steel to make an alloy before knowing whether it really met the requirements.

He has a lot of things now. In addition to the hot pot festival to be held, he also has to consider how to establish an education system, where should mathematics start, where should physics start, and how should chemistry start, these are all things he needs to think about.

Education is the basis for the future development of the territory. With the beginning of industrialization, every invention will involve more things. For example, railway plans involve all aspects. Minerals, smelting, materials, chemistry, physics... Many times he feels too short. He can no longer meet the needs of future development of the territory by himself and Xianning. More talents must be cultivated.

Just as Jiang Xingchen was thinking about how to start the subject and how to spread it out, a news spread throughout the continent: the Qianshan Kingdom not only obtained the authority of Xingchen Intermediate Users, but also purchased an additional crossbow and a steam engine.

"What's going on? Didn't it mean that it would take three years to get the chance to be promoted to an intermediate user? The Qianshan Kingdom has obtained it now. This is too fast, right?"

"What is Jiang Xingchen doing? You can ask for any needs. Why only give Qianshan Kingdom a chance? What about us?"

"Isn't it just a security agreement? We can sign it too..."

The news came out, and other kingdoms could not sit still. The Qianshan Kingdom was the first to obtain the crossbows. Not to mention whether it could be studied, even just two crossbows would be a threat to them. After all, the relationship between the eight kingdoms is no longer as before.

In addition, with two additional steam engines, the production of Qianshan Kingdom papermaking will increase significantly. If they seize their market, the loss will be great.

"No! You have to write a letter to Xingchen. We also require you to apply for an intermediate user immediately. Anyway, you have set a precedent, and three years will no longer be a rigid rule.

The emperors of various major forces wrote to Jiang Xingchen and applied for intermediate users, but the elder in the hall of Xuanyuan Tianzong slapped the table and shouted: "Ji Gang, who asked him to go there! Didn't I tell him to consider a while? Who gave him the right to act without permission!"

The Great Elder was also very greedy for things in the Ice Field, but he was not ready yet. After fighting with Jiang Xingchen for so long, he really knew Jiang Xingchen's habit of keeping a backup plan in everything. He even did not care so much about Emperor Qiankun. This time he established a base in the Ice Field and did not need to be protected by the Qianshan Kingdom. There must be a reason.

According to his original plan, he had to find out the situation and make plans, but who knew that Ji Gang's second-hand man actually brought people to take action and didn't come back in the end. It was all sank without asking!

There is also the Kingdom of Qianshan. When he thinks about it, he hates it so much that he has a way out. If you can't get rid of it, you can still become an intermediate user. As for us, all the more than 50 masters are in vain.

The Great Elder was furious, and no one below dared to speak, lowered his head and did not speak. Now, whoever speaks is unlucky.

Finally, the elder left angrily, and the group of people below breathed a sigh of relief and started to talk.

"Is this guy Ji Gang stupid? He dares to go without orders!"

"I think this guy is eager to make contributions. He used to be the hardcore leader and was not valued at all!"

"This time, I haven't achieved my goal, but I've taken myself into it!"

"You said, what did Xingchen Territory set up in the base of the Ice Field? So many masters were wiped out... Didn't it mean that Tang Tian has left!"

"Who knew this! But if someone has a folded crossbow in his hand, it is not easy for ordinary people to deal with... Alas! The weapons are getting more and more powerful now, and I don't know what the use of practicing martial arts is!"

"What's the use? Live longer... I still think there is something wrong with the base of the Ice Field. Now this month, the Ice Field must be full of wind and snow..."

A group of people were talking about leaving. The one who walked at the end of the crowd was the middle-aged man who was strongly advocating the attack with Ji Gang that day. If you observe carefully, you can see the smile in his eyes.

Not long after, the man got into a carriage and headed straight to the gate of the main city.

"Is the matter done?" He heard a voice as soon as he got into the car. A man in black robe had already made in the car, covering his head and face.

"It's done! Unfortunately, Ji Gang was unable to come back... I wonder what Jiang Xingchen arranged at the Ice Field Base?" Ruya middle-aged man lowered his head slightly and said softly.

"Yes! What a pity, but I have arranged Ji Gang's family... Let's wait and see Jiang Xingchen and the Great Elder fight each other!" The man in black robe raised his head, and it turned out to be the long-lost sect leader.

"Yes, no matter who loses or who wins, it will be good for us... If Jiang Xingchen attacks, he will definitely buy the eight kingdoms first. The same is true for the elders... Haha, I'm here to see!" Ruya middle-aged man showed a gloomy smile...

At this time, Jiang Xingchen led the Xingchen and came to the research institute again. This was his third trip in a day, and the night was already very dark at this time.

"Xingchen, this kind of restored metal is still not good!" Xian Ning frowned and shook her head, "Not only does not work, but the steel becomes more brittle after joining it, which is worse than before!"

"Oh!" Jiang Xingchen was not only not as frustrated as Xian Ning when he heard this news, but instead felt a little happy and his eyes were shiny. He asked loudly: "When you tried, what proportion of this metal in the alloy?"

"It's about half a percentage!" Xianning replied.

"That's great!" Jiang Xingchen smiled and cheered. He had some impression that the metal, manganese, was very strange. Its proportional gravity in steel is less, not only will it not play a good role, but it will make the steel as fragile as glass. But if more than 13% is added, it will become high manganese steel, which is hard and tough.

The experimental results made by Xianning now are exactly the same as those in the previous life.

Xian Ning was amazed at Jiang Xingchen's reaction at this time. Why are you happy if the experiment failed? Are you angry with me?

"Xian Ning, continue to experiment... Oh! Is there any such metal?" Jiang Xingchen asked. After all, what he brought back was only a piece of ore, and not much metal was separated.

Sure enough, Xian Ning shook his head and said, "No more! I've used it all.... Do you think you still need to use this metal for experiments?"

"Yes!" Jiang Xingchen nodded and said, "When I was doing the experiment this time, this metal would account for more than 20% of the alloy... Not to mention this, what about the person who found this piece of metal? Find it for me immediately!" The last sentence Jiang Xingchen gave orders to the private soldiers.

The private soldiers did not dare to neglect and immediately ran to find someone. In a short while, they led a young man to the research institute.

"That black ore is a black ore that will touch it. Where did you find it?" Jiang Xingchen asked.

The young man hurriedly bowed and replied: "It was in Xuanyuan Tianzong. That place was a mountainous area. There was such a stone in the fault at the foot of a mountain. I dug it out..."

Jiang Xingchen did not take what the young man said later, but frowned: "This kind of mine is not easy to deal with in Xuanyuan Tianzong!"

If other countries were easy to say, it was difficult to deal with in Xuanyuan Tianzong. They were not Qianshan, and they could be done with an intermediate user.

At this moment, another private soldier ran over, handed over a letter, and said, "Sir, letter from the Ice Field Base!"
Chapter completed!
