"Of course I can make knives, and if I can't make knives, I can still be called a knifesmith."

Gao Yuan looked very confident, Wang Hu liked Gao Yuan's confident appearance very much, he beckoned, and said, "Come, sit down and say, how do you make knives?" ”

Gao Yuan spread his hands and said: "This question is too broad, there are too many ways to make knives, I don't know how to answer what you asked, in short, you can forge or grind the division method to make a knife, forging is the blacksmith's practice, use steel to beat the knife out and finally quench it, this grinding and division, cut the steel plate out of the knife type and then quench, or directly use the heat-treated steel plate to directly grind a knife." ”

Xiang Weiguo used a knife, Wang Hu is a soldier and must have used a knife, but they can use a knife and may not be able to make a knife, this is like eating eggs without knowing the hen that lays eggs, and there is no need to know how the refrigerator is made with a refrigerator.

Wang Hu nodded, he smiled bitterly: "I know that the bayonet is made by the arsenal, but how the arsenal does it, then I don't know, now, we are thinking about how to solve the weapons of your volunteers, with guns, we soldiers are experts, but to use cold weapons, then we have to think about it, Xiang Team is an expert in cold weapons, you are an expert in cold weapons, so it is mainly your opinion." ”

Xiang Weiguo made a gesture to Gao Yuan, signaling him to listen first.

"I'm thinking of a group with two long knives, the kind that can cut people in two with one slash."

Xiang Weiguo made a downward slashing motion, and then he said in a deep voice: "Stab to death and slash, but I won't repeat the characteristics of zombies, for zombies, it is the most suitable long knife that can ensure a fatal blow." ”

Wang Hu nodded again and again, and continued to Wei Guo: "Also, zombies are not people, they don't know how to dodge, they don't know how to fight back, so in order to ensure the power, the knife can be appropriately heavier and longer." ”

Xiang Weiguo's words were mainly for Gao Yuan, because he and Wang Hu had already discussed it.

Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Uncle Xiang, Brigade Commander Wang, I understand what you mean, you called me here just to let me tell me how to make this knife, right?" ”

Wang Hu said with a smile: "It's not how to do it, but how to make it simply, and it must be based on our existing conditions and can be made on a large scale." ”

Gao Yuan said without hesitation: "That can exclude the forging method, forging has lower requirements for raw materials, whether it is long or short, round and square, as long as it is steel, it can be used to make knives, and it can even be done in the way of iron clamping steel, such as building steel bars, raw materials must be easier to find, but the problem is that there is still a blacksmith now, and it is impossible to mass produce it." ”

"Well, let's talk about the easier way."

Gao Yuan was so confident that he didn't have to think about it at all, because he had done too many of the same things.

"The easiest way is to make it with a car spring plate, which is the easiest material to find, right? You can even use an iron plate with sufficient thickness, of course, if it is a steel plate, it is the best, is there any? ”

Wang Hu shook his head and said: "No, the spring plate is still the most ready-made, but is the performance of the spring plate okay?" ”

"Absolutely no problem, spring steel belongs to manganese steel, as long as the heat treatment is very good, the toughness is very good, the hardness is also very good, the only problem is that it loves rust."

Gao Yuan is now confident, he smiled: "Looking for vans and small trucks, the thickness and length of the spring plates can be used directly, and the spring plates of large trucks are too thick and wide, and it is more laborious to process." ”

"Tell me about the specific processing conditions and requirements."

"It's very simple, first anneal the spring plate completely, and then find a way to cut it into the desired shape......"

"Wait, don't talk about it so fast, let's talk about it in detail, how do you cut it into the shape you need?"

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said: "Wire cutting, water cutting, gas welding, and even angle grinders, press with a punch when you are red, you can use whatever you can find, I think the most feasible way now should be gas welding, right?" ”

Wang Hu wrote Gao Yuan's words in the notebook with a pen, and then he said happily: "That's right, nothing else is easy to solve, but we really have this acetylene gas welding, and there is also liquefied gas gas welding, this is good, this is no problem at all!" ”

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, gas welding cuts out the shape, and then grinds it with a grinding wheel, and the blade comes out, and then it is still gas welding, of course, electric welding is also OK, weld the blade and the iron pipe together, and a knife will come out." ”

Wang Hu was stunned again and said, "It's very simple!" ”

Gao Yuan spread his hands and said: "Of course it's simple, it's not difficult, this kind of knife must be ugly, but the performance is at the level of a treasure knife in ancient times, do you believe it?" Also, what is even better is that this kind of long knife does not need to be sharpened too sharply, let me simply say it, you can use it directly with a grinding wheel to sharpen the blade, and you don't need to grind it at all, saving time and labor. ”

Wang Hu nodded at Gao Yuan and said, "I think it's very feasible, so how about you be responsible for making knives?" ”

"Okay, in fact, these are very simple, as soon as you teach, you can arrange someone to watch me do it last time, but some requirements must be done, such as quenching, which is very demanding, but I think there must be people engaged in heat treatment among the survivors, and it would be good to find someone who is professional in heat treatment."

Wang Hu said with a smile: "You and the Xiang team will decide on the knife type, I am responsible for arranging manpower and equipment for you, and start working on it after the equipment is in place, so that you can have weapons available earlier, Xiao Gao, you have given a very mature solution, okay!" ”

Gao Yuan exhaled and said helplessly: "It must be mature, that's how I played at the beginning, the simplest material, the easiest way to make the knife." ”

"I'm just curious, you've always been a swordsmith?"

Gao Yuan shook his head and said helplessly: "I wanted to be a knifesmith, but unfortunately I couldn't, so I had to go to work in the end." ”

"Why not? Violate the law? ”

"It's not a crime, it's the courier who doesn't send ......"

Wang Hu was a little stunned and said, "Why do you have to send it?" ”

"Because it's a knife friend from other places to buy it, there are only a few knife friends from the local area."

Wang Hu still didn't understand, Gao Yuan smiled: "The knife we play with is different, it's high-end goods, you still think I make dozens of pig killing knives, it's okay." ”

Wang Hu was even more curious, and said, "High-end? How high-end? ”

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said, "Well, let's sell it for a few thousand yuan, I don't make long knives and long swords, if it is a long sword and long sword, it will be more expensive, but I'm not good at it." ”

Wang Hu was extremely surprised, and he said with a surprised expression: "How many thousand yuan for a short knife? That's really high-end. ”

Non-knife friends' typical reaction, Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Play, the things you play are expensive." ”

Wang Hu looked incomprehensible and unacceptable, but he still said with a relieved face: "Back to the point, I've been worried about this knife for a few days, and now I finally have a mature solution, Gao Yuan, tomorrow you start making knives, make a few to try first, choose a good one to promote, no problem, right?" ”
