When Tao Qiong heard Mo Zizai ask about coal, he was a little confused. He didn't know why Mo Zizai asked this, "That's right, prince, we have always used coal to build weapons. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"Nothing is wrong."

Mo Zizai shook his head and continued to ask, "Have you ever seen anthracite when you use coal?"

"anthracite?"

Tao Qiong was a little confused, but soon reacted, "Your Majesty, are you talking about Baimei? The kind that burns without smoke?"

"Yes, that's that!"

After hearing Tao Qiong say that there was no cigarette when it burned, Mo Zizai immediately nodded, "Is there any?"

"Yes, there are, but the temperature of the white coal is not enough, so we usually pick it out and use it."

Tao Qiong still didn't understand Mo Zizai's purpose. He asked tentatively: "If the prince wants it, go find some for you?"

"Go, hurry up!"

After urging him, Mo hurriedly reminded him: "By the way, besides anthracite, loess also need it."

After the arrangement, Mo Zizai did not stay here and wait, but directly found a courtyard and stopped the few people who were thrusting.

"You all come here."

Mo Zizai called all these people over, "Who among you has the best technology to build?"

Because the weather is hot, these blacksmiths were naked when they made irons. When they heard Mo Zizai's question, the few of them turned their eyes to a very majestic man.

Because of knowing Mo Zizai's identity, this person was a little nervous, "If you are the prince, we are all thugs, and there are not many technical differences."

"But because the small one is physical cultivation in the body tempering realm, the strength is slightly greater."

"Okay, you're the one. There's no technical content anyway. I'll draw a picture and you can type out the things for me."

Mo Zizai looked around but couldn't find the paper, so he simply squatted on the ground and started drawing pictures.

The thing Mo Zizai drew was like a bicycle pump, but there was a cylinder about ten centimeters below, with more than a dozen iron pillars as thick as a thumb in the cylinder.

"Can this thing be made?"

Because Mo Zizai's painting was somewhat abstract, the blacksmith in the body tempering realm stared at it for a long time before he could barely distinguish the structure of this thing.

"If you can fight, you can fight."

The blacksmith frowned and studied for a while before asking, "I just don't know what material you want to use, and do you have any requirements for the hardness of this thing?"

"Of course there is no hardness..."

Mo Zizai was halfway through his words and suddenly realized that this thing was not made of iron, and could be made with wood. "Forget it, you don't have to worry about this."

"Zhou Qi, go and find a piece of wood as thick as a bowl, about six feet away. Try to be straight, I will do this myself."

"Yes, Prince."

Zhou Qi didn't ask Mo Zizai why he wanted wood, so he turned around and went out to search.

"As for you."

Mo Zizai thought for a while and spoke, "Don't be idle either, help me get a stove out."

The stove is simple, so there is no need for Mo Zizai to draw pictures. He just said it briefly, and a few blacksmiths understood his intention and went straight to prepare it for him.

Just as Mo Zi was waiting, Tao Qiong and several people rushed over with two trolleys, "Prince, white...the anthracite and loess are ready, how do you use it?"

"Break it, it's all powdered."

Mo Zizai commanded several people to start working, "After breaking it, mix the anthracite with loess. In terms of ratio, 80% of the coal and 20% of the soil will be enough."

"After mixing, add water and mix them together until they are a little sticky."

Under Mo Zizai's order, everyone except Tao Qiong began to work and crush these anthracite and loess.

And just as they were working, Zhou Qi also rushed back with a long piece of wood.

"It's just right."

Mo Zizai took the light wood, feeling very satisfied, and then pulled out the Dragon Sword and cut off half of the wood.

Next, under the powerful control ability of Mo Zizai's Youzhao Realm, the wood was quickly cut into what Mo Zizai wanted by Long Zai Sword, which was a handle used to make honeycomb coal.

After the handle is cut, the coal slime mixed with coal and loess has been stirred there, and the viscosity is just moderate.

Mo Zizai held the honeycomb coal handle and pressed it hard a few times in the coal, then took the handle to a placed wooden board, and pressed it gently, and the honeycomb coal was successfully formed.

"good!"

When Mo Zizai saw the formation of honeycomb coal, he was slightly excited. These days he had been thinking about how to solve the problem of Xiaobinghe. It was not until he saw the coal in the forging furnace that he remembered that people in this era rely on charcoal or firewood for heating.

But these things are not cheap, and ordinary poor people cannot afford them at all.

So, he instantly thought of the honeycomb coal in his previous life, which was a heating tool. Even in the era of such advanced technology in Mo Zizai's previous life, people used this thing to keep warm before the heating was fully rolled out.

Although the price of coal is definitely not much cheaper due to the mining methods of this era, at least it gives people an additional means of heating.

Moreover, Mo Zizai has already had an idea about expanding coal mine production. If everything goes well, the price of coal should be reduced to a very low level.

"Prince, I'm sorry for my uncle's eyes."

Tao Qiong stared at the honeycomb coal that Mo Zizai made. After watching for a long time, she asked in confusion: "What is this thing for?"

"You will know when it's lit in the afternoon."

Mo Zizai didn't explain much. It would take an afternoon to dry the honeycomb coal. The stove there was probably ready in the afternoon, so I just waited for the on-site experiment to show Tao Qiong after it was ready.

Because I had to wait for these things, Mo Zizai simply stayed in the Military Weapon Bureau, and even had lunch here.

It was not until three or four o'clock in the afternoon that Tao Qiong came over to inform Mo Zizai, saying that the stove and honeycomb coal had been prepared and asked Mo Zizai to go and see it.

After arriving at that yard, Mo Zizai looked at the honeycomb coal first. It had already dried up more than half of it, and it was only the center, which was a little soft, but if it was just an experiment, it would not have much impact.

As for that furnace, it looks a little rougher than the honeycomb coal stove that Mo Zi had seen in his previous life. It looks silly and simplistic, but overall it is said that the restoration degree is still very high. It has mouths on top and space on the bottom, and the shape and size are also appropriate, so it can be used to store honeycomb coal.

Mo Zizai casually took two iron rods and put them in the forging furnace to make the fire. After the honeycomb coal was completely lit, Mo Zizai put it into the coal stove.

Then, Mo Zizai clamped two new honeycomb coals and pressed them on the ignited honeycomb coal.

After a long time, the two new honeycomb coals pressed on the top were finally lit by the honeycomb coal below, and clusters of flames ignited above the coal stove.
