Vol 2 Chapter 386: King Hanzhong

The manufacture of Tongding is the crystallization of the wisdom of the ancients, starting from the Taoding made in the ancient times, to the era of the bronze tripod when the Yellow Emperor collected the copper of Shouyang Mountain, and then later the tripod became the heavy weapon of the country. In history, the meaning it represents is not just its own function. In Liu Yi's view, the concept of making copper tripods at this time was put into modern society, and it was not outdated.
The current method of making copper tripods is the pouring method. First make a high temperature resistant model, then melt the copper into copper juice, and then pour it into the finished mold.
This is not as simple as melting copper into a liquid. The melting point of copper is about a thousand degrees, but to be completely liquid, it is obviously much higher than this temperature. The average person is close, and the heat cannot bear it, let alone Take the container and pour it inside.
According to the data obtained by Liu Yi's review of ancient books, the most rare thing for manufacturing this large-scale copper tripod is not shaping, but how to pour copper juice into the model, and there must be no bubbles in the middle. The first people to overcome these difficulties To bring the wisdom to the extreme, a set of organs dedicated to watering will be produced, and the production of these organs can be much more complicated than simply shaping the copper tripod, even if there is a problem in one link, it may lead to the entire copper tripod Casting failed.
Liu Yi was designing this organ most during this time, not too far away from the model, otherwise the copper juice would have to solidify during the process of flowing, and the material used in the organ must have sufficient thermal insulation to keep the temperature of the copper juice It will disperse too soon.
The device itself must have a certain airtightness, otherwise the copper juice will leak out, and it is likely to directly damage the device, and there will definitely be a part of the loss during the flow of the copper juice, so it must be considered before smelting.
If he could not use the five elements of the building itself to strengthen the furnace temperature, Liu Yi did not dare to guarantee that he could do this three-foot-high copper tripod at one time, and in time, he did not cast the tripod for the second time. Opportunity.
When Liu Bei arrived in Hanzhong, it was Liu Yi who made all preparations and began to prepare the pouring of copper juice to shape the copper tripod.
"Princess, Ting Hou has instructed that no one should come in, no one is allowed to enter!" Guan Ping saw Liu Bei coming and hurried forward, bowing to Liu Bei.
"Oh?" Liu Bei looked at Guan Ping unexpectedly: "I heard Wen Chang said that Bo Yuan has been here for seven days and has not been made yet?"
He wanted to see the altar. When he arrived in Hanzhong, it happened that Liu Yi was ready. When he started to do the last procedure, the entire altar was blocked by Liu Yi with a seven-foot high shed.
"Not yet out." Guan Ping shook his head: "According to Tinghou's words, this shed must be absolutely sealed, with only a few small windows, and daily meals are delivered from these places."
"Who shouldn't be suffocating?" Zhang Fei stared in surprise.
"This ..." Guan Ping didn't know how to explain: "It should not be a problem. The food tray was also sent out for today's early food. According to what Tinghou said before blocking this place, it should be the last two days. . "
The altar has already been completed, and now Liu Yi is making a big tripod for the sacrifice of heaven. How big the nine tripods that Dayu cast in the past is beyond test, but the copper tripod that Liu Yi is about to cast is probably the best in the world. Too.
The whole shed looks like an egg upside down on the ground. Liu Bei, Guan Yu, Zhang Fei and others are surprised even if it is not the first time.
The three brothers waited for a long time and did not see any movement in it, so they prepared to go back to Nanzheng. After all, Liu Bei had to prepare for the upcoming King Feng sacrifice, and the emissaries of Soochow also came. Come and see, after all, the day of Chongyang is coming, and Liu Bei is also curious about what kind of surprise Liu Yi has prepared for him here.
It's just a pity that I haven't seen it for the time being.
Time passed like this bit by bit, and I saw that the day of the Chongyang was coming, but the huge shed that wrapped the entire altar was still not demolished, and Liu Bei couldn't help but feel a little worried in his heart, Liu Yi Are you okay?
"The protagonist does not have to worry, Bo Yuan has always done a good job, this is a matter of congratulating the protagonist on the king, Bo Yuan said that he would make the first trip to the world to congratulate the protagonist on the king's joy!" Zhu Geliang smiled with relief, in fact, he Also worried.
"In fact, it doesn't have to be so troublesome." Liu Bei shook his head. Now that the overall situation is fixed, what is missing is only a ritual. In fact, since Qin unified the world, although this kind of sacrifice is still important, the sense of ritual has gradually exceeded the practical significance. Although the princes attached importance to it, in fact, the degree of importance attached to it could not be compared with that before Qin Dynasty.
In the case where the overall situation has been decided, according to Liu Bei's meaning, in fact, it does not have to be too extravagant. After hearing about the money spent on this altar casting, he was somewhat distressed.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said nothing.
On the eighth day of September, just before the day of the Chung Yeung Festival, the altar was faithful to the news that the huge shed had already been demolished.
The whole Nanzheng started to get busy immediately. Wei Yan transferred his soldiers and horses to take charge of maintaining order. This time, in order to confirm the legitimacy of Liu Bei ’s claim to be king, people were allowed to watch on the periphery, not to mention that many scholars from all over the world came to observe the ceremony From a point of view, Liu Yi wanted to put the scenery of this ritual office into account, and there is nothing wrong with it. At this time, it is not only a ritual that is so simple, but also has the meaning of showing national strength.
But at this time, Liu Bei obviously could not go to see it in person.
On the ninth day of September, on the day of the Chongyang, Liu Bei led the 100 officials of Jingshu to the altar, accompanied by Jiang Ze, the envoy of Jiangdong and the accompanying Jiang Dong envoy.
Arrived at the altar, even though Liu Bei was ready, he was still shocked by the altar in front of him.
The altar is about three feet high, but it does not look abrupt. It is divided into three layers. Above the altar, nine red dragons come to life, with the dragon heading toward the center of the altar in the direction of Kowloon.
At the top of the altar is a prototype platform of about ten feet on one side, but inside is a square copper tripod, three feet high and one foot wide. The altar, which was not originally abrupt, is a strange peak here, giving people The visual impact, the bronze tripod on the altar, gave birth to a visual misalignment with Tian Qi, the closer it was, the stronger the feeling.
Especially today, the weather is not good, the sky is gloomy, the whole sky seems to be much lower, Juding is below it, visually, it seems to drag the sky.
"Zhuangzai!" Liu Bei couldn't help but exclaimed when he looked at Juding in front of him.
Liu Yi walked down with a tired face, bowed to Liu Bei and said: "Princess, fortunately, it's not humiliating!"
Looking at Liu Yi's tired expression, Liu Bei quickly stepped forward and said, "Bo Yuan does not have to be like this, the time is just right."
It was also inconvenient to say too much at this time. After a few simple words, Liu Bei asked Liu Yi to step back. After preparing for this, Liu Yi would be rewarded.
"Booming ~" Skyrim, lightning flashed, this is not a good sign, but since the date is selected on this day, it is impossible to make changes at this time, after all, this kind of thing, the time is pinch Ok.
As Liu Yi turned around, he and Liu Yi looked at each other indifferently.
Silently returned to the train, and the sacrifice officially began at this time, and the official responsible for this began to perform the sacrifice step by step.
Worship the ancestors, slaughter the three animals as the best, then worship the heavens and earth, and finally walk to the second floor of the altar, want to read the sacrificial rituals in bronze, which is to justify the rationality of claiming to be king.
Liu Yi looked at the altar, and it was also incredible. At the moment when Tong Ding was completed, it seemed to be integrated with this altar, and no new attributes appeared, which made Liu Yi a little puzzled. In his craftsmanship, this This phenomenon is the first time, and there is no experience, and some of them have wasted so much new learning.
"Boom ~"
At the moment when Liu Bei finished reading the sacrifice, a thunder suddenly descended and fell the Tongding IQ. The strong flash of light and the thunder that seemed to burst in the ears, let everyone be At that moment, he fell into a state of temporary blindness and deafness, and the thunder and lightning fell precisely on the bronze tripod.
There was a lot of noise around the people. Some people in the distance began to talk about it, and the officials were also worried. Could it be that God believed that the Han dynasty had been exhausted and opposed Liu Bei ’s claim to be king?
Zhuge Liang also worriedly looked at Liu Yi ~ EbookFREE.me ~ He counted that there will be thunderstorm on this day, but he did not expect this scene. If it is not handled well, Liu Bei's prestige might be lost.
Liu Yi didn't speak, but just looked at the copper tripod on the altar seriously. For this scene, she spent a lot of thought.
"Look!" The civil and military officials who were nearer suddenly pointed at the bronze tripod and screamed in surprise.
Many people watched the surroundings subconsciously, searching for possible changes. Someone soon discovered that the bronze tripod above the altar had cracks, and it was expanding. It might not be clear in the distance, but some in the vicinity It looks very real, but under the cyan skin, there is a faint red.
Immediately afterwards, the bronze skin on the surface gradually fell off and fell into the eyes of everyone. The bronze tripod was not destroyed by lightning as expected, but after the surface copper skin gradually peeled off, a red copper tripod appeared. The Chilong carving is vivid in Dingshen IQ.
And in the most striking place of Tongding, there are five big characters: Han room is here.
The original questioning voice gradually weakened after the appearance of these five big characters. Liu Yi and Zhu Geliang glanced at each other, and then fell down towards Liu Bei: "Tianyou Dahan!"
"Tianyou Dahan!"
Others gradually reacted, and fell down one by one excitedly, no matter how many of these scholars present believed, but at least at this moment, most people believed that Liu Bei would become the master of ZTE, and their attitude towards Liu Bei It is also more pious than in the past. At this point, the name of Liu Beihan Zhongwang is completely established ...
