On the afternoon of the 23rd, Lu Wei drove a car and followed Liu Guanliang to meet his uncle.

Uncle Liu Guanliang lived in S City, but he didn't like the noise of the city, so he moved to a secluded suburb, where his swordsmithing workshop was located.

After more than an hour of travel, after getting out of the car, a dilapidated bungalow appeared next to the potholed road, and the red paint on the gate was mottled and peeled off a lot.

"Liu Shao, your uncle lives in this kind of place?" Lu Wei asked in surprise, the Liu family is also a wealthy family in S City, and there must be more than one billion family assets, how can there be relatives living in such a dilapidated place.

Liu Guanliang smiled awkwardly: "My uncle likes to forge swords, but he doesn't love money, if he loves money, he can sell hundreds of thousands of dollars with a casual knife, but he doesn't like it." ”

Lu Wei nodded, "This is a swordsmith with ideals." ”

After Liu Guanliang knocked on the door, he entered the house and came to the sword-casting workshop in the backyard.

A middle-aged man who was tall, wearing glasses, balding, and fair-skinned about forty years old appeared in front of Lu Wei, which was completely different from his impression of a swordsmith with dark skin, a strong body, and black hands.

Even, if it weren't for him holding a hammer in one hand and a red-hot soldering iron in the other, Lu Wei thought he might be a middle school teacher.

"Third uncle, let me help you."

Liu Guanliang took the iron clamp with a smile and clamped the soldering iron, so that his third uncle could smash the iron with a hammer with both hands, saving a little effort.

After tinkling for half an hour, the "third uncle" finally stopped and took off the sleeve on his hand. took off the apron on his waist, hung it on the beams, glanced at Lu Wei on the side and said, "Ah Liang, you brought a friend over to fight again." ”

"Yes, Third Uncle."

Liu Guanliang hurriedly introduced Lu Wei to him and said, "Third uncle, this is Lu Wei." He's my friend. ”

"Well, Master Liu is good." Lu Wei stretched out his right hand and said.

Liu Yijun glanced at him, stretched out his hand and shook it, "Just call me Liu Yijun, I'm not a master yet." ”

"Yes, Master Liu."

Beckoning Lu Wei to find a place to sit down, Liu Yijun said straight to the point: "Say, what weapon do you want me to help you fight?" Do you want a good product or a fine product? If you have any products, you can make them out in seven days, and if you have high-quality products, you may have to wait for a while. I've been busy lately and can't spare much time. ”

"Oh, Master Liu, it's like this, I have a piece of extraterrestrial meteorite iron in my hand, about twenty kilograms, I want you to help me fight a knife......"

Lu Wei explained the intention.

"Extraterrestrial meteorite?" Liu Yijun's face was quite puzzled.

Lu Wei hurriedly took a backpack and put it on the table. I opened the zipper and took out a piece of metal with an oval shape and shiny black crystals. said to Liu Yijun: "Master Liu, this is the extraterrestrial meteorite. ”

"This is the Extraterrestrial Meteorite?"

Liu Yijun stroked his eyes on the bridge of his nose, carefully observed the "meteoric iron" on the table, and after weighing the weight with his hand, he shook his head again and again.

"It's not meteoric iron, it's much less dense than iron. It's a little bigger than titanium, but it's definitely not iron, it's much glossier than normal metal, it looks like a piece of graphite, I'm not sure if it's metal or not. ”

"It's metal. Master Liu, I have identified this meteorite, it can conduct electricity and heat, and it has a high melting point, it is not easy to burn, and it is a piece of metal. Lu Wei explained.

Liu Yijun glanced at him, not like he was lying to himself, but it was indeed the first time he had seen such a strange metal, and after thinking about it, he asked, "Then I don't know what weapon Mr. Lu wants to make with this meteoric iron?" ”

"A knife, with a narrow back, and a narrow knife surface, can be put into the scabbard, the kind of knife that is a bit similar to the Tang knife."

"Okay." Liu Yijun nodded and said, "You leave a phone number, go back and wait for my news, the meteorite is placed here with me, and when the knife you want is shot, I will call you to inform you." ”

Lu Wei nodded, didn't stay any longer, and drove back to the downtown area of S City.

However, only two days later, Lu Wei received a call from Liu Yijun.

On the phone, Liu Yijun said in a hurried and excited voice: "Mr. Lu, the piece of meteorite you gave me is completely beyond my imagination, this is not an ordinary meteorite, this may be a meteorite composed of a brand new element that is not available on the earth, its melting point is as high as 5500 degrees, toughness and hardness far exceed ordinary steel, the value of this new element, I don't know how to measure it at all, this may cause a sensation in the physics world......"

"Stop, stop, Master Liu, I'm talking to you about using meteorite to make weapons, why are you talking to me about physics?"

Liu Yijun's tone was choked, and he stammered: "Lu... Mr. Lu, I said that the constituent element of this meteorite is an element that has no element on the earth, and it has extremely high research value. Do you really want to make it into a weapon? ”

"Of course, why else would I give you this meteorite?"

"But it has extremely high scientific value and is made into a weapon...... Isn't it too ...... Too wasteful? ”

"Master Liu, of course I know that it has extremely high scientific value, but you are just a swordsmith, what are you doing with physicists?"

"Yes, yes, ......"

"Don't do it, Master Liu, if you don't want to help me fight the knife, forget it, I'll bring the meteorite back, and it's the same if you find someone else to fight."

"That'...... Well, everything is at your command. ”

……

Liu Yijun listened to Lu Wei's words, but within half a day, he called him again: the melting point of that meteorite iron is too high, the high temperature of 5500 degrees, even the soil will turn into magma, there is no equipment at all, it can withstand the high temperature when shaping this meteorite material, and this meteorite iron does not have the possibility of forging into a knife.

It's better to take it to scientists for research.

Lu Wei rushed to Liu Yijun's sword-casting workshop and began to think of a solution.

"Master Liu, do you think this will work, I will directly knead this piece of meteorite iron into the general shape of a knife, and you can process it again and sharpen it into a knife, I don't know if this will work?" Lu Weishi was shocked.

"What, what, kneaded into a knife shape and sharpened into a real knife, how is this possible? I have tried this piece of meteoric iron, it is too hard, unless you use an industrial forging press of tens of thousands of tons, other methods will not work at all. Liu Yijun shook his head again and again, feeling that Lu Wei was talking in a dream.

"Why don't you give it a try?"

Lu Wei directly took the piece of "meteoric iron" and pressed it between his hands, and with a little force, this oval-shaped meteorite iron underwent a very obvious deformation.

Liu Yijun's eyes were about to pop out.

This—how is this possible, this is an unknown element of meteorite that is harder than diamond!

Is it a hallucination?

"Third uncle, you don't know much yet, this friend of mine is a well-known master of national arts in S City, and his nickname is alien." Liu Guanliang stood up at the right time and explained the ins and outs for Liu Yijun.

Liu Yijun was even more shocked, and he was so frightened that he took a few steps back, "Grab the iron into powder, rub the iron into a rod, and the extraterrestrial meteorite of the unknown element...... Aliens, you really are aliens! (To be continued......)
