Chapter 265: Ming Dynasty Meteoric Iron Knife

"It only takes one move to kill you now!"

The young man's calm words were undisguised domineering.

Accompanied by his words, the murderous aura that originally emanated from his body was all restrained.

"I mean, how about you cut things with a knife?"

Chen Song was angry.

I also feel helpless about my current strength.

This young man's murderous aura can't be completely retracted and released freely, and there is a situation of murderous aura overflowing, which means that he has just stepped into the refining of the gods and is still empty, and he is not afraid of changing to before, but now his skills have not recovered, and he is indeed not qualified to connect others with a knife.

"Cut something?"

The young man was stunned for a moment and said, "I only killed, I didn't cut it." ”

Chen Song rolled his eyes helplessly, not wanting to delve into this question.

Since the cultivation is still empty when refining the gods, the strength is definitely the strength that can be retracted and released freely, and it is definitely no problem for cutting fruits and the like.

He said to the boy, "Do you have an ID card?"

"Yes!"

The young man nodded, took out an ID card and handed it to Chen Song.

"Leng You? Deqin County...... Zi...... You're good enough. ”

Chen Song glanced at his ID card and handed it back.

Since the last time he was asked by the police about the geographical location of the address on his ID card, he specially asked Wang Ze to use his mobile phone to surf the Internet to help him check the geographical information of every place in Xiahuaxia.

The address on Leng You's ID card is in the northwest of the local area, which belongs to the county under the jurisdiction of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, and is located on the Yunnan-Tibet main road, and the well-known "Ancient Tea Horse Road" and the Yunnan-Tibet Highway also pass through Deqin County.

Deqin county is relatively small, the population of the urban area is several thousand, most of them are Tibetans, it is a small and narrow county town, both sides are big mountains, the whole territory is high and steep, the gorge is long and the valley is deep, the terrain and landform are complex, there are Yunling Mountains in the east, there are Nushan Mountains in the west, the mountains are all north-south direction, the terrain is high in the north and low in the south, the terrain is long from north to south and narrow from east to west, it is completely a primitive place with Meili Snow Mountain.

"It's quite partial, I walked for many days to get my ID card to the county seat. ”

A trace of longing flashed in Leng You's eyes.

Chen Song was dumbfounded.

That place is far enough, and you have to walk for many days, and the place where Leng Yu lives will not be deep in the mountains.

Chen Song got up and said, "Let's go, if you don't dislike it, come to live with me first, and introduce you to a job tomorrow." ”

"What kind of work? Is it murder?"

“......”

......

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the earth.

Chen Song went to the market to buy some food, and then returned to the courtyard with Leng You.

"Friends?"

Grandpa Lu, who was sharpening his knife, saw Leng Yu following behind Chen Song, who was carrying fish and pork.

"Yes, his name is Leng You, and he will live here in the future. ”

Chen Song raised the dish in his hand and said with a smile: "Grandpa Lu, come to your place for dinner at night." ”

"Haha, okay, you can drink the wine you gave. ”

Grandpa Lu nodded to Leng You happily, and when he saw the long baggage behind him that was about to fall to the ground, he asked a little excitedly, "Can you let me take a look at the knife on your back?"

The long baggage on Leng You's back is very long, completely beyond the scope of a sword, judging from the shape, it is not a gun or something, and the slightly lonely shape looks like a long knife.

Leng You looked at Grandpa Lu's fiery eyes, hesitated, and then untied the burden, put it on the ground, and reached out to untie the already white linen, revealing a knife wrapped inside.

The knife is nearly one meter five, and the handle is also very long, and the scabbard and handle are all black and brown, which can be seen to be a long time ago.

long

Grandpa Lu looked at the coldness that was a little cramped and uneasy, and said with a smile: "I won't do it, you just pull it out and let me see it." ”

Warriors value weapons more than life, and it's good to be able to show themselves a stranger, but as for getting started, unless it's a very close person.

Leng You breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the knife and slowly pulled it out.

Scold~

Under the sunset, the slender, shaped like a seedling of the knife body with a touch of arc of cold light, in the golden light, it looks extremely cold, the knife body is covered with delicate patterns like feathers, very beautiful, the light reflected by the knife body, faintly with a blue luster.

Grandpa Lu excitedly put his head close to the blade position, and after watching it, he couldn't help but praise: "It's really a good knife, the ancestor is really a good craft!"

He turned to Leng You and asked, "What period is this Miao Dao?"

Leng Yu replied: "Ming Dynasty!"

"No wonder!"

Grandpa Lu knew it in his heart.

Chen Song also seemed to understand why Leng You said that he was a killer instead of an assassin, a weapon of the size of the Miao knife was difficult for ordinary people to dance, and it was not suitable for assassination at all.

As one of the advanced weapons in the era of cold weapons in China, Miao knife is a precious cultural heritage of Huaxia, it is an authentic Han fighting and martial arts knife, and the knife of the non-Miao people is called Miao knife because of its slender blade body and resembling He Miao.

Miao knife has always been held by the Royal Forest Army (Qianniuwei, Yulinwei), alias: thin knife, long knife, Qianniu knife, also known as "Royal Forest Saber", is a Chinese weapon specializing in killing the Japanese saber.

The total length of the knife type is five feet, the length of the knife is three feet eight inches, the handle of the knife is one foot two inches, and there is also a kind of small seedling knife, according to the "single knife method selection" recorded as the knife of the crossbow, the crossbow hand is the auxiliary weapon, the total length of the knife is three feet seven inches, the knife is two feet eight inches long, the handle is nine inches long, the Miao knife has concentrated the characteristics of the knife and the gun two weapons, which can be used as a gun and a knife, and can be held with both hands and handles.

Because it is easy to exert the overall strength of the waist and back when the single and both hands are used in exchange, and the structure is excellent, so when the enemy is used, the tossing and turning combo, the speed of the calendar, the body destroys the knife, the knife turns with the person, the momentum is like a broken bamboo, the practical value is high, the lethality is extremely powerful, and the non-ordinary weapons can be resisted.

The invention time of the Miao knife is in the Western Han Dynasty, about 2,000 years from today, its existence is indispensable to the entire Chinese nation, after many times of improvement more and more sophisticated.

Leng You's Miao knife has a small arc of the blade, which is not easy to hurt the knife holder itself while ensuring lethality, and from the perspective of forging level, it belongs to the version before the improvement of the Ming Dynasty, that is, it was forged in the early Ming Dynasty.

Chen Song looked at the azure blade and asked, "This is forged from meteoric iron?"

"That's right!"

Grandpa Lu exclaimed: "The blade is all forged with meteoric iron, and the process of clamping steel, cladding steel and inlaid steel is not used, this is completely regardless of the production of materials, the most powerful thing about this knife is that the forging person also uses the technology of 100 steel-making to forge meteorite iron, even if it is put now, it is not easy." “

Chen Song nodded understandingly.

The traditional Chinese steel-smelting technology is mainly based on frying steel and filling steel, which also refers to the difference between steel and iron.

Ordinary iron ore can only produce raw iron, and there is still a certain distance from steel, while ancient steel mainly refers to the alloy of iron and carbon, of course, it will also be mixed with impurities, the content of carbon is different, and the properties of steel are also different.

To put it simply, it is wrought iron with low carbon content that is almost pure iron, which is not easy to use and is very soft, and then the steel is roughly divided into low carbon steel, medium carbon steel, and high carbon steel due to the different carbon content, and the performance is different with the change of carbon content;

During the Western Han Dynasty, the technology of frying steel has been used, which is to heat the pig iron to a certain state, and then stir it like a stir-fry, so that the carbon is oxidized into gas to produce low carbon steel or wrought iron. Although this technology originated very early, the use of "fried" to describe this technology was only after the Ming Dynasty.

As for the steel filling method, it is more advanced than frying steel, and the output is also higher, and the early frying technology can only fry to the end if it wants to clean up the impurities in the iron, and fry it together with carbon to produce wrought iron.

On the basis of having wrought iron and pig iron, pig iron and wrought iron are smelted together to produce steel with relatively few impurities and relatively stable performance.

As for meteoric iron, it is completely extraterrestrial and does not belong to these two categories, and it is much better than these two in terms of material and stability.

Baotou steel is a relatively soft steel, such as mild steel or wrought iron as the skeleton, forging the basic shape of the knife, and then wrapping one side of the knife with a thin sheet of high-carbon steel, forging into a blade.

However, the technology also has some limitations, first of all, it is difficult to produce a double edge, so it is generally not used to forge a sword, in addition, the steel is a hard steel clad soft steel, if the grinding is too much, the soft steel inside leaks out, the knife can be scrapped, and this process is relatively complex, the productivity is relatively low.

The advantage of this process is that it can create a double-edged sword, and there is no need to be careful about grinding, and the production is relatively simple.

In the case of the same blade performance, the embedding time is shorter, it is more suitable for mass production, and the double edge can be forged at will, and there is no worry about grinding, compared with the clamping steel, it consumes less high-carbon steel, and saves more materials.

As for the embedded steel, it is the most cost-effective metal composite process in ancient times, not only many weapons use the embedded steel process, even high-end kitchen knives, scissors, will use this process for production, originated in the late Ming Dynasty Zhang Xiaoquan brand scissors, in ancient times is famous for exquisite embedded steel scissors at home and abroad, which is also the earliest dual-use technology.

It is based on mild steel as the skeleton, and then grooved in the place where the blade is needed, and then the high-carbon steel is submerged into the groove, and some are cut out of the mild steel skeleton one by one, like a comb, and then the small openings are separated one by one in different directions, and then the high-carbon steel is embedded.

Hundred steel is a special existence, in the Han Dynasty sword inscriptions, often can see how many "refining" records, such as thirty refining, fifty refining, the highest is a hundred refining, so the process of these swords is called hundred steel.

The origin of steelmaking, in fact, at the beginning, it was just a helpless move of the ancients.

Because the early steel frying technology can only produce wrought iron, the steel produced is unstable and has many impurities, if you want to forge a sword, you must superimpose the thin steel sheets from the fried steel, fold them like a surface, and forge them can not only make them integrate, but also further clean up impurities.

The sword produced by this process will show a beautiful pattern, and the Miao knife of Leng Yu is made of the folding and forging method of 100 steel, so that the material is further improved at the same time, and the delicate pattern like a feather appears.

It's just that the hardness of meteorite itself is very high, and it is extremely difficult to forge, often requiring a lot of manpower and time investment.

Grandpa Lu looked at Leng Yu and said with a smile: "You can't show the real power of this knife yet." ”

"That's right. ”

A hint of surprise flashed in Leng You's eyes.

I didn't expect this inconspicuous old man to see at a glance what was wrong with himself and the knife.

"Grandpa Lu, why can't he exert the power of the knife?"

Chen Song asked curiously.
