Chapter 59 Projector Showcases Blast Furnace Steelmaking!
Only Ying Zheng, Li Si, and Fusu remained calm.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes.
Zhang Fan ignored everyone else.
He turned around abruptly, faced Ying Zheng on the dragon throne, and solemnly cupped his hands in a deep bow!
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, I humbly request that you abolish the million-strong corvée labor service!"
Another thunderclap!
It resounded in the hearts of all the officials!
Before anyone could react, Zhang Fan's voice rang out again, strong and clear!
"In my opinion, to resist the Xiongnu, why do we need a million troops, or ten years of effort?"
"All it takes is conscripting tens of thousands of laborers to mine in the mountains and produce steel in blast furnaces!"
"Within a year, we will be able to forge 'horse-slaying swords' powerful enough to sever a horse's leg for our Qin warriors!"
"At that time, every member of our Great Qin cavalry will wield a divine weapon!"
"What is there to fear from the mere Xiongnu?"
quiet!
Deathly silence!
Inside the Qilin Hall, you could hear a pin drop!
All the ministers stared intently at Zhang Fan as if he were a madman!
After a brief silence!
"Pfft!"
I don't know who it was, but the first person couldn't help but laugh!
Immediately afterwards!
"Hahahaha!"
A burst of laughter erupted inside the Qilin Hall!
The official in charge of grain management laughed so hard that tears streamed down his face.
He got up from the ground, pointed at Zhang Fan, and laughed so hard he could hardly breathe!
"Blast furnace steelmaking? A sword for cleaving horses?"
"Hahaha! What did I just hear?"
"Zhang Fan! Do you even know what 'steel' is?!"
Another Minister of Works stepped forward, looking at Zhang Fan with a mocking expression!
"Your Majesty! Steel is forged through countless trials!"
"Our Qin Dynasty's top craftsmen spent months pouring their hearts and souls into creating this hundred-times-refined steel sword!"
"This item is as precious as gold!"
"And Zhang Fan dares to spout such arrogant words, claiming that with a mere tens of thousands of people, he can equip each of them with a weapon within a year?!"
"This...this is just wishful thinking!!"
"That's right! He's just trying to attract attention! Spreading rumors and misleading the public!"
"Your Majesty! This man has absolutely no understanding of the nation's vital instruments; he is spouting nonsense and deceiving Your Majesty!"
"This is a crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"Your Majesty, I second that proposal! I beseech Your Majesty to punish him for deceiving the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty, please punish him!!!"
In an instant!
The tide has turned completely in the court!
All the ministers, whether civil or military officials, looked at Zhang Fan with mockery and disdain!
In their eyes, Zhang Fan had gone mad!
He uttered such absurd and outrageous words!
The crime of deceiving the emperor!
This is an indisputable capital offense!
He's finished!
This time, he's completely finished!
Even a god couldn't save him!
The faces of the officials were filled with schadenfreude!
Let's wait and see how this arrogant young man gets dragged away and beheaded!
He faced ridicule and mockery from the entire court.
Faced with the accusations of "deceiving the emperor".
Zhang Fan remained silent.
His facial expression remained unchanged.
It is a kind of indifferent calm.
Under the gloating gaze of everyone.
Zhang Fan simply waved his hand lightly towards the outside of the hall.
moment!
Two eunuchs carried in a black iron box and a huge wooden plank.
The items were placed in the center of the main hall.
"Um?"
"What is this?"
The laughter inside the Qilin Hall abruptly stopped.
All the ministers instinctively looked toward the black box, their faces filled with doubt.
however!
When they saw what the black box looked like, many people's expressions changed instantly!
"It's...it's this!"
One of the ministers gasped in shock, his eyes instantly filled with horror!
"During Feng Yuan's public trial, he... he used this very thing!"
"To bring that horrific tragedy of the village's annihilation back to life before the world!"
boom!!!
Upon hearing this, the entire hall fell into a deathly silence!
Everyone recalled the fear of being dominated by the projector at the market that day!
That clear picture!
That real voice!
That "immortal technique" that overturned their worldview!
"What...what is he planning to do now?!"
"Could he possibly conjure up the steelmaking process himself?!"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"The hundred-refined steel is a national secret; how did he know about it?!"
The Minister of Agriculture and the Minister of Works were just laughing wildly.
The smile on his face had long since frozen, replaced by surprise and trepidation!
They stared intently at Zhang Fan, a sense of foreboding rising in their hearts!
Right under everyone's watchful eyes.
A cold smile curled at the corner of Zhang Fan's mouth.
He slowly took out his phone and gently tapped the screen with his finger.
Om-!
A beam of light shot out from the black iron box and struck the white wooden board precisely!
"It's lit up! It's lit up again!"
The officials stirred instantly and involuntarily took a half step back!
Zhang Fan ignored them.
He skillfully opened the app on his phone – TikTok.

next second!
"Boom—!!!"
A tremendous roar suddenly came from the white cloth, echoing throughout the entire Qilin Palace!
The sound was so real, so powerful!
It made all the ministers' hearts clench violently!
Immediately afterwards!
The image appeared!
It was a "furnace" they had never seen before!
The furnace was towering and pitch black, resembling a giant steel beast!
"What...what is that?!"
"A furnace?! There's... such a huge furnace in the world?!"
The Minister of Works' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
He pointed at the screen, his voice trembling!
Before they could even recover from their shock!
The scene changes!
"Sizzle—!!!"
A stream of crimson liquid gushed out from the giant beast's mouth!
Rolling down!
That's not a trickle!
That's a river!
A river of fire, formed by molten iron glowing red-hot!
The scorching heat seemed to penetrate the light and shadow, rushing towards us!
"Oh My God!!!"
"Iron! Molten iron! It can actually... it can actually flow like water?!"
"This...how is this possible?"
"Even the hardest iron and stone cannot be forged into a useful tool without being hammered and tempered a thousand times!"
"What...what kind of sorcery is this?!"
The official in charge of grain management was completely dumbfounded.
He stared blankly at the surging molten iron, his mind a complete blank.
My worldview was completely shattered at that moment!
however!
The real shock is just beginning!
The scene changes again!
They watched as the molten iron went through a series of processes they couldn't understand!
In the end, they turned into rows and rows of red-hot iron bars, piled up like mountains!
One!
Ten!
One hundred!
A thousand!
The iron bars were endless and inexhaustible!
The visual impact was so overwhelming!
So domineering!
It completely shattered everyone's psychological defenses!
"No...impossible...this is absolutely impossible!"
The Minister of Works muttered to himself, looking utterly dejected.
His smelting knowledge was something he was very proud of.
At this moment, it becomes worthless and a joke!
"One year...one for each person...so...so what he said was true..."
