Chapter 263: Eighteen sets
Everyone saw that Wu Zhongyuan was stunned, just when he was thinking about something important, how did they know that what he was thinking about was to form a group to go out and steal things.
It's definitely wrong to steal something, but Wu Zhongyuan didn't dwell too much on this issue, if he rose to the moral height at every turn, then he couldn't do anything. The most important thing is that even if it is stealing, it is not for one's own selfish interests, but for the benefit of all mankind, and there are all kinds of excuses for thieves, but I am afraid that there is no higher excuse than this.
Of course, it's best not to steal if you can change it, and it's best not to rob if you can steal, but it's unlikely that you can change it, but all good things, the owner will not take them out and share them with others, and it is estimated that you will have to rely on stealing in the end, and what is really useful to the world, regardless of whether the means and methods are bright, you have to get it back.
This matter is sooner rather than later, and it must be implemented as soon as possible, but the question is who to partner, Li Wanzi and the three of them will definitely not succeed, they are too busy to take a break. Taking a step back, even if they can pull away, they will not accompany him to do this, not only will they not accompany him to do it, but they will resolutely stop him.
To form a "criminal gang", you must first have a means of transportation, this is ready-made, and it is estimated that there is no better way to carry it than Dasha.
And then there must be a mastermind, and he is obliged to do this black cauldron.
Then there must be accomplices, accomplices must have a skill, he was the first to exclude Wu Di, Wu Di has now been closely monitored in the capital of the bear clan, and he cannot move freely, but even if Wu Di moves freely, he will not invite Wu Di to join the gang, because Wu Di is also the material of the mastermind, and it is enough for a gang to have a mastermind.
A skill is a necessary condition for picking people into the gang, the first thing to consider is the two armadillos that tried to steal the golden slip hidden in Jiang Nanluan's phoenix sword from Lianshan City that day, these two little dwarfs dug holes very quickly, and the matter was revealed that day, under the round-up of many purple qi masters of the Niu clan, they could not run away, they should have been arrested by the Niu clan, but I don't know if the Niu clan killed them, if not, they must still be locked up in the Niu clan, you can go to the Niu clan to fish them out.
If you can meet Jiang Nan, you can invite her to join the gang, Jiang Nan is proficient in pharmacology, and if other members of the team are accidentally poisoned, she can detoxify. In addition, Jiang Nan can also transform Qingluan, which is a great advantage to be able to fly, and he will definitely be able to use it in the future.
It's better to have a guide, this person has to know all about the tribes outside of Middle-earth, otherwise he won't know who to steal when he goes out, but this person is not easy to find, Middle-earth definitely doesn't, you have to look for it outside of Middle-earth.
It is also very necessary to bring a bodyguard, he and Jiang Nan's aura cultivation is not high, in case you meet a master, you will suffer, this person is not easy to find, most of the purple qi masters think very highly of themselves, disdain to be thieves, if they are hired from outside, they are afraid that they will not be reliable, in case they see how to make money.
When Wu Zhongyuan was stunned, Li Dashou got up and started playing, he had arranged a job for Li Dashou to try to create a metal anti-counterfeiting currency, because the time was too tight, Li Dashou did not have time to create a sample, only drew a sketch.
The currency designed by Li Dashou is a shell style, but it is not a flat shell like a scallop, but a shell rolled up on both sides, the shape is somewhat like an olive core, this metal shell has an anti-counterfeiting function, of course, it will not be a color-changing watermark, but this metal shell is a copper-tin alloy, and the style has also been specially designed, and it can be blown after it is created.
Wu Zhongyuan passed without thinking about it, he studied archaeology in college, and knew that shell coins were the earliest form of currency, and Li Dashou designed exactly this currency.
Everyone came from afar, they were a little tired, when they arrived, Wu Zhongyuan ended the morning meeting, left everyone to have lunch from Jiumu, after the meal, everyone returned to the station, at this time the warriors of Jiumu and Jiulian were here, and there was no one in charge of the cities and besieged cities, so they had to go back to preside over the daily work as soon as possible.
Smelting metal is the specialty of the bird clan, each city has a furnace and workshop for smelting metal, the so-called workshop is the place where craftsmen work, the workshop is also divided into military and civilian, civilian to create daily life utensils and agricultural tools, and military workshops are mainly used to build weapons and armor.
Wu Zhongyuan urged Li Dashou to melt the dark iron as soon as possible, but Li Dashou said that he had no tools at hand and lacked effective assistants, so he had to wait for his family to arrive and his two sons could help him to start.
In the evening, Li Dashou's family finally arrived, and after resting, they separated the furnace at the second watch.
Blowers were not available at this time, but they had a similar device, which was somewhat similar in structure to the hand-pulled bellows used to burn fires and blow the wind in rural areas, but the individual was larger and needed to be pushed and pulled by an adult man with all his strength before it could be used.
At this time, craftsmen had already begun to use coal, but they only knew that the temperature produced by the combustion of coal was higher than that of charcoal, but they did not know how coal came from, and gave it a better name than coal, ink stone.
The method of smelting dark iron is not the same as ordinary metallurgy, the dark iron is too hard, and nothing can be used as a furnace, so Li Dashou is to hang the dark iron, about five feet above the ground, from the left and right sides of the black iron furnace, by pulling the bellows to blow the upper part of the flame, so that the upper part of the flame produces a lateral offset, with the help of the high temperature of the two outer flames to melt.
This method did melt the iron, but it was slow, because the height of the two furnaces was fixed, and the bottom metal could only be lowered to the ground and the melting continued.
When Li Dashou's father and son were busy, Wu Zhongyuan had been watching from the sidelines, worried about disturbing Li Dashou, so Wu Zhongyuan did not talk to them, but just observed from the sidelines, Li Dashou's previous inference was correct, this metallurgical method can only melt the black part of the meteorite, and a small amount of golden-yellow metal is still in a solid state.
This yellow metal has an irregular shape, some in the form of sheets, some in the form of granules, and varies in size, and since it cannot be melted, it will fall off and separate after the ferrous metal is melted.
Li Dashou will carefully collect these yellow metals, and he also knows that this metal is extremely rare, even the smallest particles are never missed.
"How long will it take to melt it all?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Li Dashou lowered his head and was busy, "It has to be before sunrise at the earliest." ”
"If it's finalized, how long will it take?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.
"It depends on what you build, the dark iron is very hard, and if you want to build a pair of warrior armor, it will take at least a month. Li Dashou said, and then added, "I'm talking at least." ”
Wu Zhongyuan nodded and didn't ask again.
At this time, it was close to the third watch, Dasha had not come back, Wu Zhongyuan concentrated and perceived, and found that Dasha is located 80 miles away from the west of Daze, that is, it is infinitely powerful, and it is not easy to open up hundreds of miles of roads, fortunately, although Dasha is loyal to the ministry, he has not forgotten to sleep and eat, this guy is not hungry, he has food in his stomach, he should have stopped to eat in the evening, and he eats five minutes full every evening, this is the rule he set for Dasha when he left the river that day, whether he is there or not, Dasha will follow.
Li Dashou father and son have been busy, Wu Zhongyuan only said three words to him in the second half of the night, one is to ask what is the difference between this kind of dark iron and the dark iron they have been exposed to before, Li Dashou replied that the black part should be the same, but the yellow metal has never been seen.
The second sentence was to ask what kind of power would be made of black iron armor, and Li Dashou replied that it would be indestructible.
The last question asks what is the potential effect of carrying or using a weapon made of black blackiron? The reason he asked this question was to determine whether the radiation that affected Dasha came from the black blackiron or the yellow part.
Li Dashou replied that the common dark iron would not have a bad effect on people, but he had never seen yellow dark iron before, and he was not sure whether it would have an effect on people.
Li Dashou's answer dispelled Wu Zhongyuan's concerns, if the radiation source was black Xuantie, Dasha couldn't stay away from it, and if it was yellow Xuantie, he could carry it with him.
Li Dashou's estimation is very accurate, before sunrise, the melting of the black iron is completed, at this time there are already weighing tools, respectively, the scales, due to the removal of impurities inside the meteorite during the melting process, the weight has been reduced, the net weight of the black black iron is 360 catties, and the yellow black iron is 9 catties and 9 taels.
Although Li Dashou father and son were very tired, Wu Zhongyuan did not let them go back to rest, but ordered them to wrap the yellow dark iron with copper to create a copper belt, cast and carved cloud pattern to decorate, this copper belt is prepared for Dasha, can be put on its neck, copper and dark iron are integrated, even if someone sees it, it will not find the clue, if you want to build a weapon in the future, you can re-melt it, and then separate.
"How much dark iron do I need to make a set of armor?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.
Li Dashou wiped his tearful eyes that were smoked by the fire, "Bronze armor weighs about thirty or forty catties, and the weight will be different if men and women are different, but the dark iron is not as hard as bronze, and it can reduce ......."
Before Li Dashou finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan interrupted him, "Can you build eighteen sets of armor?"
Li Dashou was not a fool, and immediately guessed why he had such a question, and after considering the estimate, his face was shocked, "If the eighteen sets of armor are nine men and nine women, no more, no less, just right." ”
"There is labor, as soon as possible. Wu Zhongyuan said.
Li Dashou nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "Xuanjing is needed to create armor that can be inspired by warriors, and we don't have it." ”
"Is there a bird clan?" Wu Zhongyuan asked, the Xuanjing that Li Dashou said was undoubtedly the amethyst metal mentioned in the test report of the 18th Branch.
Li Dashou nodded.
Considering that it was a bit difficult to go to the Bird Clan to ask for amethyst metal, Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "Can Xuanjing be melted and extracted from the armor of the Bird Clan warriors?"
Li Dashou shook his head, "No, once Xuanjing is combined with the blood of a warrior, it cannot be reused." ”
Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly, in modern times, there were bird clan warriors who tried to kill him, and after the bird clan warrior was killed by the little wizard, the color of his armor changed, which indirectly verified Li Dashou's statement, that kind of amethyst metal could not be reused.
After handing over the Xuantie to Li Wanzi for safekeeping, Wu Zhongyuan resigned to Li Wanzi.
Li Wanzi asked where he went, Wu Zhongyuan didn't lie to her, but he didn't tell the truth all the time, telling Li Wanzi that he was going to the Niu Clan, but he didn't tell Li Wanzi what he was going to the Niu Clan......
