In the July Burning Steelworks, shirtless craftsmen were beating an iron lump in front of the forge, but even the most powerful blacksmith could not turn it into its former shape even with all his might.

"Lord Song is here, get out of the way."

Someone shouted loudly at the back, and then saw Song Beiyun take off his coat, revealing the tendons and flesh on his body, if there is a woman here, he will be surprised, obviously he is a scholar, but he is such a strong body under his clothes, but now around a group of strong men, he is not too prominent, except for some white ......

"Which stove did this come out of?"

Song Beiyun walked over and asked a technician, and the technician immediately replied that it was a coke oven, and he knew it at the time, which was very likely to be carbon steel.

Judging from this hardness, even high-carbon steel cannot reach such strength at all, which should be the strength of manganese steel!

"I'll show you the ore." Song Beiyun asked the technician to fetch the ore, and after he studied it carefully, he confirmed that some of these ores were indeed manganese ore, perhaps because he didn't pay attention, the two ores were put into the furnace at the same time, and then it just reached a subtle ratio, and finally it happened that this furnace was a coke furnace again.

Many kinds of things have made the world's first furnace of manganese steel discovered under these coincidences.

"Go, hurry up and track down the source of this batch of ore!" Song Beiyun's careful liver jumped, if a manganese ore can be discovered, then manganese steel, as a tool steel, can quickly accelerate the development of basic industries, and the processing capacity will directly jump three or five steps!

"Yes, Lord Song."

After the order, Song Beiyun wrapped his hair in a towel, came to the forging furnace, and watched the blacksmith take turns to beat the manganese steel, but the manganese steel stubbornly refused to be deformed, and it took a long time to make the iron lump flatten.

Song Beiyun looked at it for a while, shook his head and said, "It's too hard to use manpower, come here!" Water hammer! ”

The water hammer has not been used since it was installed, not that it is not difficult to use, but it is too troublesome, because it is so cumbersome, and it will take a lot of time to start and stop once, and all the iron that came out before does not need the big guy of water hammer to forge at all, so it has not been started so far.

However, this time, with Song Beiyun's order, the gear on the huge waterwheel was pulled down, and the two gears were tightly buckled together, and slowly ran with the speed of the waterwheel.

After the waterwheel turned three or four times, and the counterweight had to weigh more than 1,200 pounds of the big iron hammer was raised high, the workers immediately put the red-hot manganese steel block on the bottom, and then the person operating the water hammer released the clutch, and the giant hammer fell down and hammered on the iron, and sparks flew everywhere.

At this moment, a water hammer next to him was also raised high, and the craftsman picked up the iron lump and turned it in one direction and put it down, and after another burst of sparks flew around, the forging hammer began to beat out a rhythm full of power in turn.

Under this unattainable force, the manganese steel block was gradually hammered into an iron ingot, and after seeing that it was roughly formed, the craftsman soaked it in the cold water bucket next to it, and heard a loud sound, and a puff of smoke rose from the whole workshop.

The quenched iron lump was glowing with a metallic luster, which made people feel comfortable looking at it, and Song Beiyun picked up a small iron hammer and knocked it on it, making a dull sound, but except for a white dot, nothing was left.

"Hahaha......" Song Beiyun, who was sweaty, rubbed his nose: "Everyone, add money!" ”

The workshop was suddenly boiling, and several master craftsmen wept with joy, and sat next to them and wiped their tears with their black hands.

It really doesn't matter if the money is money or not, this tone is earned back. The ghost knows that when they see that other groups are producing results one after another, and they are still burning money day after day, the grievance in their hearts, although the master family doesn't care about them burning money, but this day will burn a thousand times at most, which makes them really unhappy in their hearts.

And now, something is finally out! The feeling of being recognized is definitely not something that can be measured by money alone, those masters have a lot of income, and now what they lack most is an affirmation!

After that, Song Beiyun conducted various tests on this iron lump and found that it completely possessed the characteristics of manganese steel, not to mention those masters, even he himself had a feeling of moistening eyes.

"Here are a few good swordsmen, and I'll take them tomorrow to offer treasures!"

Several craftsmen rose and walked over, and the sound of the water hammer began to tremble in the workshop again, and even the earth could be felt as it fell.

That's the power of industry! Song Beiyun's heart was suddenly full of pride, he was tossing the first manganese steel knife in the world with vigor, some things still have to be seen by people, after all, you can't see anything by burning money every day, and the Ministry of Industry is also under great pressure.

At this moment, on the hill outside the workshop, two figures appeared on it, and one of them climbed a tree with great difficulty.

"Great Prince, be careful." The guard shouted worriedly, "Don't fall off ......"

"Don't worry."

Buddha Baonu sat straddling the branch of the tree, took out the large food he had bought with a lot of money, and looked into the workshop with clairvoyance.

This clairvoyance cost a lot of money at the beginning, it is said that it can pull the scene hundreds of zhang away to the eyes, it is a sacred object created by a prophet a hundred years ago, but now due to the war caused by the loss of craftsmanship, the clairvoyance handed down is only a dozen, each of which is worth a thousand gold!

She began to search the field of vision for the pictures in the workshop, and when she saw the huge water hammer smashing, she subconsciously grew her mouth and was amazed. But when she saw the large pile of shirtless men under the water hammer, tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.

"Wow......"

"Gong ...... Great Prince, come down quickly! ”

"What a noise." Buddha Baonu scolded: "Let me see what they are doing." ”

It turns out that the weak Song also has such a great man, look at that figure...... Look at that muscle, it's not worse than Da Liao's.

Wait a minute!

Suddenly, a figure appeared in her lens, the man was also shirtless, wiping the sweat from his body with a towel, the red fire in the furnace reflected the flesh on his body as if it was cast in copper, the flesh on his waist and abdomen was particularly obvious, and the burning and powerful biceps......

"Ah......" Buddha Baonu sighed unconsciously: "It's great." ”

"Your Royal Highness Princess, my subordinates beg you, come down quickly, if you have three long and two short, your subordinates' heads will fall to the ground."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm looking at what that Song dog is doing, don't bother!"

Buddha Baonu looked over again, and Xiao Song had already picked up the sledgehammer at this time and began to adjust the manganese steel knife that was beginning to take shape.

The hammer raised high matched the muscles of a body, that kind of ...... It belongs to the kind of violent beauty that bursts out of the human body itself, and it is vividly displayed at this moment.

"Alas...... Okay, good, hey, hey......" Buddha Baonu wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth with his sleeve: "Okay, good!" That's great! ”

After Xiao Song jingle for a while, he began to instruct people to carry out the second part, that is, to create patterns, secondary quenching and polishing, and he stood next to him and picked up the clay pot and began to pour cold water into his stomach.

"It's really a good skin...... Buddha Baonu sighed again, smacked his mouth twice, and then rushed down his head and said, "Don't rush, wait for me to see what they are doing." ”

This man is a perfect match for steel, and even Buddha Bonu has to admit that the red hearth, the powerful hammer, and a group of sturdy men with glittering oil by the fire.

This...... Who can withstand this?

And Song Beiyun didn't notice anyone peeping on the mountain from beginning to end, he continued to sweat like rain, until a knife gradually took shape and began to rub the dazzling fire on the trampling grinding wheel, he crossed his waist and smiled.

This is the best news during this time, it can be said that the previous haze has been swept away, and sure enough, the darkness in the world can only be baptized by fire and sunshine.

Half an hour later, a strangely shaped knife was created, this knife looks a little like a Tang knife, but it is not the same, the blade is relatively straight, the blade is wider near the blocker, and it begins to narrow as a whole at the beginning of the reverse, and some are only 20-25 mm at the tip of the knife, and the posture of the knife body is smooth.

Song Beiyun held the newly forged knife, swung it, and then aimed at the corner of the wall and slashed at a piece of cast iron.

"The Qi family's knife cow has been approved." Song Beiyun sighed, then found a pair of linen cloth to wrap the knife and wiped it: "You guys hurry up and think of carving patterns on it, make it look better, and ask for dragon patterns!" ”

And on the mountain in the distance, Buddha Baonu also exclaimed: "Mom......"

She was shocked when she saw the scene of Song Beiyun swinging his knife to cut iron, if the knife in his hand could even cut cast iron, wouldn't it be that the iron armor of the Great Liao Pi Room Army was like paper paste

This...... That's how it can be good

But soon, the Buddha Baonu calmed down, this thing must be just an accident, how can this kind of knife that sharpens iron like clay be mass-produced, it must be made by the traitorous minister to give it to Emperor Song, and it is not a big deal.

But thinking so in her heart, Buddha Baonu is really greedy, and she also wants a handful...... After all, sharpening iron like clay only exists in legends, and today she saw it.

Not to mention...... It's still a macho man wielding a knife, and it's eye-catching to look at.

"It's a pity, it's a pity." Anu slowly climbed down from the tree, was supported by the guards and stood on the ground, she sighed softly: "This kind of person is actually a traitor, it's a pity......"
