The high-quality anthracite burned violently in the furnace, and a lump of iron weighing half a kilogram sandwiched in it burned red.

Guessing that the heat was thick enough, a craftsman took a long tongs and pulled it out of the stove.

Then the craftsman, with his strong arms, swung his hammer against the red iron that was placed on the felt, and struck it vigorously on it.

Under this powerful and repeated forging, soon an iron tool with a vague shape of a spear head was gradually taking shape.

It's just that by this time, the originally red iron has become cool.

The continued forging was already ineffective, and the craftsman did not panic at all for such a situation.

In his casual movements, the iron, which had lost its red color, was thrown into the nearby furnace, and in the furnace filled with the burning fire, the iron was burned red again.

After it was clamped out again, it went through a final forging.

With a sound of 'snort~', the head of the gun that was put into the bucket by hand instantly formed a layer of water vapor above the bucket.

At this point, a decent iron spear head can be regarded as a completely forged success.

Just sharpen the tip of the gun on the whetstone, and pair it with a straight and hard barrel.

So in the recent past, the natives of the entire southwestern region of Rainozawa have been born with a weapon that they are extremely desirable for.

Ever since Song Yong created the ugly kitchen knife.

It's been almost a month now, and after a month, everything looks different in the forge workshop in the artisan quarter.

In addition to tongs, iron rods, iron felts, and sledgehammers of various models.

These necessary forging tools have now been created one by one and are readily available.

What's more, after a month of hands-on practice, the twenty blacksmiths in the forge workshop are basically proficient in forging all kinds of improvised weapons and tools......

"Six-fingers, how many of these guns are in our warehouse, and how many other weapons are there?"

After waiting for a few minutes, after fishing out the completely cooled gun head from the bucket, Song Yong played with the unopened gun head in his hand.

Pointing to the six fingers behind him, the craftsman leader asked.

I don't need to recall it carefully, for a question like Brother Yong, the six fingers will come with an open mouth:

"Not counting the dozens of pieces that have been made today, and those that have not yet been put into storage, then there are 320 iron spear heads, 106 machetes, 31 axes, and 1,200 or so arrowheads. ”

"In addition to the weapons above, such as kitchen knives, hoes, shovels, etc., there are at least 100 pieces in stock. ”

In Six Fingers' narration, the feeling of telling the story is like asking him how many bowls of broth he has drunk in the morning, without any hesitation.

Upon hearing this, Song Yong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

After he hurried back from the Chibai tribe, he didn't even have time to put down the backpack behind him, so he went directly to the forge workshop in the craftsman area.

Isn't it because I'm worried that I won't be able to completely redress that team in less than a month?

After all, he would personally take these people to the dangerous wildling territory to establish an outpost.

If their actions were not discovered by the wildlings in advance, it would be good if they succeeded in building the outpost, in case the wildling tribe killed them in the process of construction.

Then a battle with no defensive advantage will take place in a vast grassland.

When the time comes, the weapons in their hands will be sharper and more durable, and they will have an extra chance of winning in battle, and their own lives will be more guaranteed.

There is no room for carelessness in such an important matter.

To this end, Song Yong gave a new task to the six fingers:

"Good job, but from now on, there is no need to continue to build tools, let all the blacksmiths devote all their energy to crafting weapons. ”

"After twenty-five days, you must be able to take out a thousand spear heads, two hundred machetes, a hundred axes, and five thousand arrows from the warehouse;

Indeed, through the estimation of the efficiency of the blacksmiths under him.

In the next twenty-five days, it took a lot of time to create so many weapons, even though it took some time to work overtime at night.

But Song Yong estimated that it should be no problem to complete it on schedule.

If that doesn't work, you can add a little trustworthy manpower and let them work as blacksmith apprentices to help with the hammer or something.

However, after hearing the words, the six fingers even changed their faces in an instant......

As if hearing an impossible task, Six Fingers finally smiled bitterly.

The creature smiled bitterly and said, "Brother Yong, I also know that you must have something important to do when you went to the meeting of the Chibai tribe this time, but here in the blacksmith workshop, there is really no way to do such a request." ”

"What's going on?" Song Yong asked.

"If you want to build so many weapons, the blacksmiths don't have the slightest problem, even the amount of iron ore in stock is enough, but the anthracite coal from the Cangyan tribe is too far behind with the current supply. ”

"Without enough coal, there is no way to keep the earth blast furnace running, let alone use it to build weapons. ”

Six Fingers' answer can be regarded as giving Song Yong an abnormal headache.

At present, the source of coal for the Gray Rabbit tribe is such a state.

The personnel of the Cangyan tribe are responsible for digging out the coal in the territory with shovels and pickaxes purchased on credit from the Gray Rabbit tribe.

From the three tribes of Green Worm, Songta, and Heavy Ear, they took out a total of about 100 people.

As a daily day back and forth between the gray rabbit and the Cangyan tribe, he was responsible for carrying the excavated anthracite coal to the gray rabbit tribe with manpower.

As the Grey Rabbit tribe, it is used in daily iron smelting and blacksmithing.

Regarding the fact that the anthracite from the Cangyan tribe has always been unable to supply the consumption of the upper tribe, in fact, Song Yong is not unaware.

The main reason is that the Cangyan tribe is away from the gray rabbit tribe, and it takes a day to trot and hurry.

If you carry a basket of heavy coal, even those men who carry coal back and forth, hurry up along the way, it will take at least a day and a half.

Because on this section of the road, those twists and turns of the sheep intestine path are really too difficult to walk.

Ten days ago, Six-Fingers, who realized this, had already eliminated ten tribal hunters, plus fifty armed slaves to join the ranks of the coal-carrying group.

It's a pity that it still can't supply the daily consumption of the tribe,

Before issuing such an order, Song Yong was also thinking about the fact that there was some stock of coal in the tribe.

I thought that with these stocks, we would be able to produce more or less this batch of urgently needed weapons, and as for the rest, we would have to figure out a way slowly.

For example, if you fool a few people to come over and build the road between the two places.

Even if there is such a thing as road construction, it is a huge project in the primitive era plane, but as long as it is completed, the distance between the two places can be reduced by at least nearly half.

And it can also get a little more loaded, more efficient rickshaw out.

After pondering for a while, Song Yong said:

"Then go ahead and add people, no matter what method you use, anyway, before the allotted time comes, I must see those numbers of weapons in the warehouse. ”

Under Brother Yong's rare solemn order, Six Fingers decisively agreed......
