Chapter 588: Forging Weapons
"You mean, the merchant girl has it?"
Su Yang was shocked, can this also be seen, since he started to learn spear stabbing techniques with the merchant girl, it has not been a month now!
"Yanlan is saying that I have a child?"
The merchant girl touched her stomach, she didn't know it herself, but what Yan Lan said would not be wrong.
Yan Lan nodded heavily, but didn't explain much.
Su Yang's face was ecstatic, it was really a good thing, he stepped forward and picked up the merchant girl, roared loudly, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
Next year, he will be a father before he is fifteen years old, and if he can live to be a hundred years old, I don't know how many great-grandchildren he will have.
At this moment, maybe he is really integrated into the primitive tribe, even if it is for future generations, he should take advantage of the situation to rise!
After a long time, Su Yang calmed down, but he was entangled, if Yan Lan was wrong, after thinking about it, sooner or later there would be, I was working hard tonight, and I just dug up a lot of yams yesterday and came back, so I can make up for it.
The arrival of the merchant girl made Su Yang more energetic, and he personally forged the rough embryo of the bronze spearhead, and he only remembered the picture of the blacksmith shop in the countryside, beating the tongs, shovels, hoes, scimitars and other farm tools.
Then there are some thrashing scenes seen in film and television dramas, just remember a sentence, tempered a thousand times.
The forging workshop has not yet been built, but there are a few that can be used, there are special people stepping on the blast skin, and there are also special people adding charcoal, well, he said that it is a person forging spearheads, and as a result, there are as many as a dozen auxiliary personnel.
There were hundreds of onlookers, because he had to select at least sixty full-time blacksmiths to swing the hammer every day, and he could also go to the battlefield at critical moments, and the hammer was a sharp weapon.
As a bearded man who carried out sky burials back then, he became the captain of the blacksmith without accident and transformed.
It didn't take long for the spearhead to burn red, Su Yang was naked, wrapped only in palm bark between his hips and waist, and put the spearhead on the bronze pier with higher hardness with one hand, picked up the sledgehammer with the other, and thumped it with a bang.
Don't say anything, isn't it a thousand hammers, just a hundred hammers first, but he was beaten and deformed, it's okay, and put it in the extremely high temperature stove, and then came after it burned red, this time he changed a hammer and began to beat the edge of the spear, which also made the spearhead more sharp.
That's it, it took a long time to finally get a spearhead, this thing can make perfect, there is no shortcut, just learn to cook, at the beginning you have to learn to cut vegetables, and then fry river sand or something.
He could see it, and it was a success, anyway.
As soon as the spearhead cooled, someone brought the shaft of the high-quality spear, and when it was inlaid into it, the live deer that had been caught was also delivered.
Su Yang first looked at the spearhead, which was quite good, the wings flew together, a little like a sword, but the middle bulge was higher, exuding a faint light unique to bronze.
"Drink!"
He threw the spear at an ordinary warrior, who hurriedly held the spear in both hands and stabbed it into the body of the deer, sinking into a large section and almost piercing it in half, which a stone tool could not do.
Su Yang was also very excited, stepped forward and pulled out the spear, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood stains on it, the spearhead was intact, quite good, this has not been polished and opened.
In fact, you don't need to sharpen it too sharply, because it is not durable, just like sharpening a knife, the angle is more than 30 degrees, and the sharpening will be faster, but the knife will be dull in a few days, and it is easy to have a notch, and when the angle is lower than 30 degrees, a knife will be sharpened for a long time, but it can be used several times longer.
Now you can't let the ** cost bronze, so you won't polish it, unless the edge of the forged spear is too thick.
"Start the selection now, no matter what else, just hit it hard."
He retired, but he couldn't get a cigarette to soothe for a while, but he also found an alternative way to decompress, uh, weaving straw sandals, I heard that doing this work often can be called emperor.
And he offered a heavy reward to the blacksmith, that is, he didn't have to do any other work in the future, and he was not surprised, surprised.
It seems to be child's play, but it is actually a heavy reward, because there is also a one, if you are unwell, you can rest, and you can ensure enough food without working during the period.
There is no way, the currency has not been officially issued yet, the materials are scarce, and even the salt is not much, he just wants to reward, and there is no good thing to get his hands on.
"Knock knock!"
There was a dense beating sound, and all the adult males had to take turns beating the spearhead, and he would watch the whole process, using the stream of consciousness to select.
It's not just about whether the beating is powerful, it's just the foundation, it's also about whether it's malleable, and the brain is a good thing, irreplaceable.
In this way, it took eight days, and finally all the knocks were knocked, and the selection was carried out three rounds, and finally sixty people were reluctantly selected, some of them were tall and some of them were short, some were strong, and some looked thin.
In the end, it was divided into two steps, forty people refined, twenty people refined, really speaking, only twenty qualified ones were selected, it was really not easy.
As the days passed, Jianmu still had no news, but there were more and more bronzes on his side, and the spearheads created gradually increased, from about twenty a day to more than thirty, and in another month, he should be able to arm the soldiers.
"Boom!"
With the last thrashing, a bronze sword more than forty centimeters long was formed, and there was a king character on the sword, which was a saber specially made for him, with greater symbolic meaning, and it was hard to say how to use it.
He had built a three-foot-long handle before, but it broke halfway, and now he didn't dare to use it at will.
I don't know how the legendary Xuanyuan Sword was made, it's illogical, the bronze long sword can't be made at all.
He stroked the bronze sword, this should be the first bronze sword, and his nails, hair and blood were added when he smelted it, and it was no different, it was an ordinary sword.
In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation and let people polish it, and the result was sharp, but it was not good-looking, the blade had many scratches, and the polishing technique was too rough.
No matter, he deliberately found a beast to try, and it was not bad, as long as it did not collide with hard objects, it was a sharp weapon.
Then he went crazy and practiced the mad demon swordsmanship every day, well, there were only three moves, draw the sword, swing the sword, return to the sheath, and it is said that he can become a super master with one move, but it didn't.
But he still tied nearly thirty pounds of bronze heavy sword to his back, although the scabbard was made of bamboo, but it could be regarded as a chivalrous act.
After a few more days, many warriors had bronze spears, which greatly increased the success rate of the hunt, the food was improved, and there was no shortage of broth.
Xiyi Mountain has changed very much, with the meteorology of the big tribes, the roadbed has also passed through the salt field, which has greatly relieved the traffic pressure, and since this period of time, Taixu has taken in several small tribes one after another, and the population has increased by more than 100, and everything is developing in a good way.
On this day, he pondered whether to hold a grand bonfire party, but unexpectedly, the builder suddenly came.
