"It's so powerful, this is coal?" After putting coal on the road surface of the iron-making furnace, and then continuously blowing air into it through the bellows, the burning fire startled Dian Jie.

Then he said excitedly: "If there is such a large firepower, I am afraid that there is no need for repeated forging at all, and the iron ingots smelted in this way are at the level of a hundred refinements!" ”

"Let's see, maybe there's a surprise!" Li Ming smiled mysteriously, after all, the result did not come out, and to be honest, he had no bottom in his heart. According to his understanding, the melting point of iron seems to be about 1500 degrees. And the combustion of coal with bellows seems to reach more than 1700 degrees!

First, the quality of the furnace is not so good, and second, the bellows rely on manual push and pull, so the power is not so great. Whether it can be achieved to the level of refining iron ingots, Li Ming can't be very confident.

However, he underestimated the strength of the Qi practitioner, and with Xu Huang and Xiao Yao working together, the bellows were running at full speed, and yes, the flames in the furnace rose more than three meters.

At this high temperature, the iron ingot slowly melts and then turns into molten iron and flows directly out of the taphole. Even if Dian Jie was mentally prepared, he was pleasantly surprised to see that the iron had turned into molten iron, and immediately poured it into the mold according to what Li Ming said, and then after quenching and polishing, he finally completed an eyebrow knife.

"Try it!" Li Ming picked up the eyebrow knife and looked at it briefly, and felt that the quality was not bad, but unfortunately the forging experience had not improved at all, which made him very strange, but the experience of the 'metal smelting' skill had improved.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao took it in his hand, flicked it lightly, listened to the sound, and then immediately praised: "Good knife!" ”

As far as refining technology is concerned, this knife can be regarded as a very top weapon in this era, and the key is that such a knife can be mass-produced. If an army is heavily armed with such knives, it will be an absolute nightmare for the enemy.

"It's just that it's not as good as I imagined!" After really waving it, Xiao Yao couldn't help but complain.

"Why do you feel that way?" Li Ming couldn't help but be curious, he felt that this might be the key to not gaining experience.

"I probably know why!" Dian Jie took the knife and looked at it, and felt it carefully, "Sure enough, this knife is dead!" It has no spirituality at all, and the internal qi cannot be smoothly transmitted to it! It's enough for ordinary people, but for martial artists, not being able to conduct internal qi means that the power of martial arts is reduced! ”

"Yes, yes, yes, that's how I feel!" Xiao Yao immediately agreed when he heard this.

"Can't import aura?" Li Ming was very curious, so he took the knife and felt it carefully. As a result, there is really no way to conduct internal qi, and the entire blade is like a whole, a big stone, organizing the conduction of internal qi.

Simply conducted the internal qi to the maximum, but as a result, the knife kept buzzing, and finally it actually shattered.

"Why is this happening?" Li Ming looked at the fragments in his hand suspiciously.

"You've forged a fine dagger before, haven't you felt it? The so-called hand forging is actually like this, it is not as convenient as direct casting, but the most valuable thing is the hammer hammer hammer! Dian Jie smiled, "The old craftsmen in the past often said that what we forge is not a cold piece of iron, but a life!" In my opinion, the greatest mystery lies in this hammer strike! ”

"Then try it!" Li Ming nodded, and then, with the cooperation of the others, he burned the iron ingot red and began to forge it.

At this time, the forging skill was suddenly activated, and Li Ming completely entered the automatic mode. After a series of forging and quenching, a high-quality level eyebrow sharp knife was finally created.

"Try again!" This time he was lucky, and Li Ming was in a good mood, so he handed the eyebrow knife to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao tried it with the eyebrow knife, and finally knelt down on one knee directly and begged Li Ming: "This knife is amazing!" Even better than the one I used to have! Not only is it sharper, but it also conducts great internal air! Pray that the Lord will give me this sword. ”

When Li Ming heard this, he laughed, and then said, "Yes! It's just that...... Is that really okay? ”

Xiao Yao said very firmly: "Maybe the lord can still build better weapons, but his subordinates have not made a profit, so they don't dare to be greedy!" Besides, this eyebrow knife is far better than the one before his subordinates! ”

"Yes, it's mature!" Li Ming patted Xiao Yao on the shoulder, "Peace of mind, do things well under me, and if there are good things in the future, they will naturally not treat you badly!" ”

"Thank you, lord!" Xiao Yao returned the gift very sincerely.

"Okay, for the next month, I'm going to keep forging all kinds of weapons to improve my sensitivity to forging. On this basis, we will try to forge with more advanced materials! It's going to be boring, can you really handle it? Li Ming looked at the others.

"We're just going to do it, and we're just doing whatever we need to do the other time!" Xu Huang and the others returned, and the army was temporarily in a state of recuperation, unless it was a fixed training period, otherwise they generally did not need to come forward.

Mainly in terms of military rations, the imperial court has returned to its normal configuration, one meal a day! In addition, now that winter has arrived, it is purely a matter of shame for the soldiers to train at high intensity in the winter with a hungry stomach.

"Well, I'm going to be racing next, I hope you can keep up!" Li Ming smiled, and then quickly threw himself into work.

It wasn't until this time that everyone knew what his so-called racing was. This guy doesn't have the problem of physical exertion at all, as long as he finishes building one, he immediately builds the next one, and there is almost no rest in between. At first, Dian Jie and Xu Huang were able to help with the fight, and then it was completely Zhang Mo and Xiao Yao who could do it.

Watching the three of them forging almost tirelessly, the various weapons on the ground began to increase, and various qualities continued to appear, Dian Jie and Xu Huang suddenly felt that they were a little redundant here.

"Otherwise, we'll be barracks......" The two of them said this sentence almost at the same time, then stood up with a wry smile, packed up, and returned directly to the barracks. Anyway, if Li Ming needed to hire people, he would send someone over to inform them.

In this way, Li Ming stayed almost in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs during this time, and almost did not go home. Fortunately, Xun Cai also understands Li Ming, and will send food on time at noon and afternoon, and will arrange for four beautiful maids to come over if he can't come.

The four beautiful maids naturally hoped that they could take the opportunity to be favored by Li Ming, but the latter was indulged in the improvement of forging skills and naturally ignored the four of them. After trying a few times, the four girls could only leave gloomily.

After a full month, the forging skill is increased to LV6 (60% creates the best and 40% creates the finest). At the same time, the Metal Smelting skill has also been increased to LV5 (25% Excellent, 30% Fine, 45% Normal).

So one day, when he was holding the meteorite and the bone gold, especially the latter, he suddenly had an idea......
