Knowing that the King of Chu had summoned him in the sword-casting workshop in Yingdu, Jin Jun hesitated slightly.

Sword Forge Workshop?

How could the King of Chu summon himself in this place?

Is there a deep meaning in this?

Jin Jun came to the sword casting workshop with hesitation, and then was taken to the place where the king of Chu was.

After entering the room where the king of Chu was, Jin Jun found that Sikong Zhaoyu, who was in charge of the fortifications, was all by the side of the king of Chu.

On the side, Chen Zhen held a black sword and followed the king of Chu.

At this time, the king of Chu was vigorously swinging the Tai'a in his hand and slashing at the sword that was fixed in front of him.

With a crisp sound of the "bell", the copper sword fixed on the wooden frame had been broken in two and fell to the ground.

As Jin Jun saw, under the wooden frame, there were already several broken swords

Jin Jun's heart fluttered and beat suddenly, and he glanced at the Tai'a in the hands of the King of Chu in fear, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after seeing that it was still intact.

Although I know that Tai'a is extraordinary, it is easy to sharpen iron and break stones.

But I can't stand Tai'a is the treasure of Chu State, if Tai'a's sword body is missing a small opening, is Tai'a still Tai'a!

There was one less treasure in the Chu state.

Now that the State of Chu has lost the Heshi Bi, if Tai'a is also broken by the King of Chu, then the heavy treasure of the State of Chu will be a heavy loss.

Although Tai'a belongs to the king of Chu, the treasure of the world is not only the king of Chu, so tyrannical things, even the monarchs of other countries, I am afraid they will scold the king of Chu for being a loser, let alone his own people.

Right now.

Xiong Huai looked at Tai'a in his hand and sighed with emotion: "Cutting gold and breaking jade is as easy as a snap, and it is worthy of being a divine weapon." ”

Then, Xiong Huai handed over the Tai'a in his hand to Zhaoyu and said to Jin Jun: "Jin Jun also came to see how the sword of the widowed Zhanlu Tai'a was!" ”

"Yui." Jin Jun replied with a little hesitation.

Could it be that the king of Chu came to me to show off his treasure to me?

Well! Later, I should use the words of the previous King of Qi to advise the king to show my wisdom.

It's a pity that even if there are records from historians, they are just picking up people's teeth.

It seems that it needs to be improved.

After making up his mind, Jin Jun took Zhan Lu from Chen Zhen's hand, as if on a pilgrimage, looked at Zhan Lu with an obsessive face, and pondered it carefully.

For Jin Jun's obsession, Xiong Huai was a little proud in his heart, the treasures of this era are basically in his own treasure house, and he can't help but feel proud when he thinks about it.

After a while, Xiong Huai asked everyone: "Do you know the world's famous swords!" ”

When Jin Jun heard this, he immediately replied: "Back to the king, the world's famous swords should be headed by Zhan Lu Tai'a, and these two swords are the treasures of the Chu State." ”

Xiong Huai nodded and smiled: "The world's famous swords, most of them come from Wu and Yue, the sword casting masters of the past dynasties, when Ou Yezi and Gan will be the leader, the two sword casting masters have cast five swords for the king of Yue, among which Zhan Lu is the leader, and three swords are cast for my Chu country, among which Tai A is respected." ”

Zhao Yu and the others all nodded when they heard this.

It has been almost two hundred years since Tai'a was born, but the swords carried by the kings of Chu in the past dynasties are all Tai'a, in addition to Tai'a's domineering and majestic appearance, they are also extremely sharp.

"Do you know that the world's famous swords are made of what are the main materials?"

Hearing the King of Chu's inquiry, Zhaoyu replied: "Back to the king, as far as Weichen knows, when Ou Yezi cast a sword for the king of Yue, he visited the entire Yue country, and finally mined the divine iron on Zhanlu Mountain to create five divine soldiers such as Zhanlu. And when I built Tai'a for my Chu country, I had already used up the iron mother divine materials collected on Zhanlu Mountain, so I visited the famous mountains of Chu and Yue, and only then did I pick up three pieces of divine iron in Cishan to create three swords such as Tai'a. ”

He said: "What Sikong said is extremely true, if there is no mistake, the eight famous swords such as Zhan Lu and Tai'a are made of divine iron. ”

Jin Jun also said: "Yes, the Divine Iron World is rare, so the famous swords in the world are extremely rare, since the death of the two couples, there has been no famous sword in the world for a long time." ”

Xiong Huai sighed, most of the world-famous swords in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were created by Ou Yezi, and they were all made of divine iron, but after the death of Mo Ye, this method of finding iron and forging swords was lost.

To be honest, Xiong Huai couldn't figure out what the divine iron that Ou Yezi found was, but according to the legend, it must be different from ordinary iron, not very pure iron, or special natural alloy iron, considering the difficulty of forging, it took several years, and there were many times that the phenomenon of divine iron not melting, and the possibility of meteorite iron was not ruled out.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai asked, "Dare to ask all the virtuous people, do you know the difference between this divine iron and ordinary iron?" ”

Everyone shook their heads.

After so many years ago, who knows what kind of iron the divine iron that Ou Yezi spent a long time finding back then.

"Could this divine iron be ordinary iron?" Xiong Huai asked.

This question is the question Xiong Huai has always wanted to ask, after all, in later generations, steel weapons are the mainstream.

In this era, iron farm tools have begun to fully replace copper farm tools, but in the area of weapons, copper weapons are still in a dominant position, and iron weapons are not as good as copper weapons in terms of performance.

The technology of copper smelting has matured, and all countries can refine copper with high purity, and with other metals, a fine copper sword can be forged.

As for the iron sword, there are too many impurities and the texture is brittle, which makes it difficult to hammer and forge.

So much so that this pattern has been formed.

Of course, the most fundamental reason is that the temperature of the charcoal fire is insufficient, for this problem, when Zhaoyu arranged for craftsmen to refine the glass, he has already encountered it, and the glass refined during this time has all been wasted.

For this reason, Xiong Huai, who had only heard of blast furnace steelmaking, could only prompt Zhaoyu to build an alchemy furnace by himself or ask Qi Yan and the two countries to buy an increasingly mature alchemy furnace, and use a closed furnace to increase the temperature of the charcoal fire.

As for papermaking, although Xiong Huai has always insisted, the papermaking team led by Ji Ya has always thought that what he got was just a fake secret recipe, which was too fake, and more than two months have passed, but he has not even seen the possibility of success. If it weren't for the sand refining team led by Zhaoyu, who had already seen the hope of success, they might have given up.

Straight to the point.

Hearing King Chu's inquiry, Zhao Yu thought for a while and said, "Great King, although both divine iron and ordinary iron have iron characters, according to Wei Chen's opinion, these should be two kinds of materials. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Yu picked up a sword that had been cut off from the ground and said, "King, this is a sword made of ordinary iron, and it is not worth mentioning when it comes to Zhan Lu and Tai'a, so Wei Chen thinks that divine iron and ordinary iron are two things at all." ”

Jin Jun hesitated for a long time before he said, "King, there may be a deep connection between this ordinary iron and divine iron. ”

Xiong Huai was taken aback.

This time I came to Jin Jun, the main purpose was to buy Jin Jun, but I didn't expect Jin Jun to give an unexpected answer.
