Chapter 17 The Famous Sword Comes Out

The war knife is an indispensable weapon for every dynasty. A strong dynasty will inevitably have a famous war sword. Han has a ring head knife, Tang has a horizontal knife, and the Great Song Dynasty has a captivity knife!

The chopping knife is a sharp weapon created by the weapon master Wu Ji who inherited the first knife of the Han ring and the horizontal knife of the Tang Dynasty, and it is incomparably sharp.

The army of the Great Song Dynasty, with the sword of captivity, embarked on the journey of breaking the Khitan, destroying the Western Xia, sweeping the world, and sweeping all nations!

The result is incomparably brilliant!

Raise the prestige of China thousands of miles away!

Converted, Wu military industry.

Qiao Dayuan, Zhang Daniu, and Duan Dapeng stood on the ground, very nervous, looking at Wu Ji. Look at their nervous appearance, it is not much different from the original Flowing Wind Raids on the city.

It's impossible for them not to be nervous, because today they want to create a kind of war knife under Wu Ji's guidance. This war knife is the result of Wu Ji's exploration these days, and it is said that this war knife inherits the characteristics of the ring head knife and the horizontal knife, and has developed.

After listening to Wu Ji's explanation, they knew that it was the sword of the strong Han army, and it was with this knife that the strong Han army swept the world, defeated the Huns, and defeated all countries.

"Those who commit strong men will be punished even if they are far away", the backing of this bold saying is the ring head knife!

As for the horizontal knife, they are no strangers, after all, the horizontal knife is the war knife of the previous dynasty, and it is very famous, even in the Song Dynasty, there are also many horizontal knives left down.

The war knife that Wu Ji wants to build inherits the characteristics of these two types of war knives, what kind of height will it be? They were curious, lucky, and nervous.

To be able to create this kind of war knife is a great luck, a blessing that has been cultivated for eight lifetimes. If you can't build it well, you're a sinner, and who can't be nervous?

"Boss, can we get started?" Qiao Dayuan finally couldn't help it and took the lead in asking.

"Yes!" Wu Ji was calm on the surface, but he was also excited in his heart.

You must know that the fame of the ring head knife and the horizontal knife is very great, although Wu Ji has not seen the ring head knife with his own eyes, but he has tried the horizontal knife for a long time. The horizontal knife inherited the advantages of the ring head knife, and the war knife he wanted to build, although it came from the horizontal knife, also came from the ring head knife.

This is not only the inheritance of the sword, but also the spirit represented by the sword, the glory created by the sword!

The heroic style of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

If Wu Ji succeeds in building, this kind of war knife will be used in large quantities, will it achieve the powerful martial arts of the Han and Tang Dynasties? If he can, Wu Ji will become a good craftsman through the ages, this is a great honor, who can not be nervous?

"Raise the fire!" Zhang Da Niu shouted, put the charcoal in the stove, and ignited it with firewood.

Coal, that is, modern coal, was not used in large quantities for metallurgy in the Song Dynasty, and was mainly used as fuel for the people to heat and cook. Moreover, the use of coal is more widespread in the north.

Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, had many workshops specializing in making coal, which processed coal into various shapes and was easy to use.

In order to create the most ideal sword, it is best to start with steel and smelt better steel. In order to take revenge, Wu Ji studied a lot of things, and he also knew some about steelmaking technology. It's just that the time is tight at the moment, and it's too late, after all, the weapons and equipment of the Converting Army are too short, so they have to be equipped first. The smelting of steel can only be done later.

In the absence of better steel, it is not impossible to create a better sword. The use of coal instead of firewood for heating is an improvement taken by Wu Ji.

Coal has a greater calorific value than firewood, and heating is more suitable.

Zhang Daniu was no stranger to the matter of burning coal, and soon a fire was raised, the fire was blazing, making a whirring sound, and it burned extremely vigorously.

"Let's do it!" Wu Ji bit his lip tightly and ordered loudly.

Qiao Dayuan and the others were waiting for this, Duan Dapeng clamped a piece of steel with iron tongs and put it in the furnace. This stove was specially designed by Wu Ji to make war knives, and Qiao Dayuan made it himself, so it was very suitable to use.

Duan Dapeng grabbed the bellows and pulled hard, the wind was whistling, the flames were rushing straight up, and the blue flame of a foot high contained high temperature, and a heat wave came to his face.

"I have been fighting iron all my life, but I didn't know that charcoal could be so useful!" Qiao Dayuan held the hammer in his hand, looked at the jumping flames, and was very emotional.

At that time, charcoal was only used in a small amount in metallurgical ironmaking, and firewood was used to make knives for heating, which was far inferior to the calorific value of coal. At the beginning, Wu Ji said that he would use charcoal to heat, and the three of them thought they had heard it wrong, and they were very surprised.

They never imagined that coal, which seemed to them to be very ordinary, would have such a wonderful use, which was really incredible.

"The owner has a delicate heart, he said that there is a wonderful use, there must be a wonderful use!" Zhang Daniu admired Wu Ji so much that he threw himself to the ground.

As he spoke, the iron burned red, and Zhang Daniu clamped it with iron tongs and placed it on the anvil. The fiery red iron, under their forging, the iron filings were splashed everywhere, which was very scary, and Wu Ji and Huangfu Song had to withdraw from the distance.

"Huh! Using charcoal is different, it is much more powerful than using firewood! Zhang Daniu admired while forging.

Shicai looked at the use of coal to heat, that was a good feeling. At this time, forging with his own hands, with his rich experience as an old blacksmith, he naturally knew the difference between the two, and he could not be happy.

After a while, the iron began to dim and needed to be reheated, so Zhang Daniu put the iron into the furnace.

"You pull, I'll fight!" Duan Dapeng hadn't experienced it himself, so he couldn't miss this opportunity, so he pushed Zhang Daniu to the bellows, held the pliers, and waited for the iron to burn red.

"You know how to rob, like a thief!" Zhang Daniu muttered dissatisfiedly, but he held the handle and began to pull the bellows, and the wind was whirring.

In a short time, the iron burned red. Duan Dapeng hurriedly clamped it, put it on the anvil, picked up the hammer and forged it. While fighting, he exclaimed: "Not bad! Not bad! It's better than firewood! ”

The three of them worked together to forge the iron. With their efforts, pieces of iron were forged and then beaten into blades.

For this forging, Wu Ji was fully prepared, and asked Qiao Dayuan to practice their hands and forge the blade first. Now, officially built, they are familiar with the road, and the smooth blade is gradually taking shape.

The blade is streamlined, extremely smooth, and makes people look at it with a sense of beauty. The blade is sixty centimeters long, seven or eight millimeters thick, and four centimeters wide. Although it has not been formed, I know that it weighs about four or five catties compared to the hemp knife.

The weight of four or five catties, once it is slashed, its strength will be much greater, and its power will be much greater. You must know that the greater the strength, the more advantageous it is to slash and kill. The weight of four or five catties, when slashed and killed, will be magnified into dozens of catties of strength, and its advantages are obvious.

"Poof! Poop! Poop! ”

The crisp and pleasant sound of forging sounded, and it was very exciting to listen to in the ears. Looking at the blade that was taking shape little by little, Wu Ji was very comfortable and a little nervous.

Design needs to be verified physically, and whether Wu Ji's design is good or not needs to be created to know.

"That's it!"

Qiao Dayuan and the three of them said in unison, their eyes widened, their eyes blazing, and they looked at the war knife. Qiao Dayuan clamped the war knife and put it in the quenching liquid, making a snorting sound, and wisps of white smoke came out.

This quenching is another improvement of Wu Ji. Quenching is very important, if the quenching technology is not up to par, no matter how good it is, it is useless.

Huangfu Song's eyes widened, staring at the rising white smoke, a little surprised. Although he was not a blacksmith, he knew that the Song Dynasty did not have this quenching method.

No one spoke, except for the quenching snort. Time passed silently, and I don't know how long it took, Qiao Dayuan excitedly clamped the battle knife, raised it, his eyes widened, and he looked at it: "It's a little strange!" Something peculiar! ”

Wu Ji is changing the modern quenching technology to make it suitable for the Song Dynasty, Qiao Dayuan They have not seen it, or they are not surprised.

The three of them are very experienced, and after looking at them for a while, they are very happy: "It's a good baby!" It's a good baby! ”

Wu Ji took it in his hand, weighed it slightly, it was heavier than the hemp knife, and when it was slashed on the battlefield, its power would be greater, and he was very satisfied. I slashed hard, and it felt pretty good.

Huangfu Song had already widened his eyes, and when he saw that Wu Ji had played, he was busy taking it, and after a few slashes, he said, "Not bad!" Not bad! Put on the handle of the knife, and after the blade, try its sharpness! Will it be sharp? ”

Wu Ji is also unclear about this problem, and needs to be verified: "Try it and you will know!" ”
