After entering the blade assembly workshop to see the operation here, Wen Yong found that there was nothing to improve, even the flow of water construction they had already used. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, take the Qin Dynasty in the previous life, although the world is scolding the tyrannical Qin, but the Qin system is extremely advanced and efficient. The division of labor is clear, and the responsibility can be traced. The best thing is that the weapons are standardized and the parts can be replaced directly.

"Your Majesty, this is a smelting room, it's really hot, so don't go inside."

Wen Hao took Wen Yong to a stone room and persuaded him with good words.

Wen Yong touched the stone wall, it was indeed hot, and the temperature inside was even more terrifying.

"It's okay, I want to check it out."

Wen Yong spoke, Wen Hao naturally didn't dare to stop it, and ordered the soldiers guarding to push open the stone gate.

There were no lamps in the stone room, but it was still bright in the light of the red-hot iron pulp.

In the middle of the stone chamber was a huge iron-making furnace, and two shirtless and sturdy men were constantly shoveling charcoal into it.

There is also a circle of small furnaces around it that are dedicated to refining ore, which is melted into iron ingots and set aside for later use.

An older blacksmith fits pieces of pig iron into an iron ingot and picks them into the furnace.

This is the steel filling method!

Wen Yong couldn't help but sigh at the creative ability of the ancients, who had mastered such a fast steelmaking method, endured the burning sensation on his body and took two steps closer, the craftsman didn't realize it at first, but when he saw his chief officer accompanying him, he found that the person who came was wearing a dragon robe, and immediately knelt down and saluted: "Meet Your Majesty." ”

Wen Yong helped them up, these craftsmen who worked in a difficult environment were worthy of admiration, "You have worked hard, keep working." ”

After receiving the emperor's praise, the craftsmen became excited and returned to their respective posts.

The crimson slurry from the iron furnace in the middle is poured into a mold, cooled, and then repeatedly forged by craftsmen, and finally polished and quenched into a sword.

Wen Yong picked up a war sword that had been forged, waved it twice in his hand, listened to the swishing sound when it broke through the air, and said with satisfaction: "It is indeed a sharp weapon!" ”

An elderly blacksmith blurted out, "That's not enough! ”

As soon as he said this, the blacksmith regretted it, and the emperor said that if it is good, it should be good, how can he intervene.

Wen Yong didn't care, but asked with interest, "Have you ever seen a better sword?" ”

The blacksmith said, "Swords made of steel, though hard, are less tough, and break after two more slashes on the battlefield." I heard that the master of the Qi country has created a treasure sword, which is both rigid and soft, and the power is extraordinary, which is much better than the sword we have here. ”

"Is this true? Wouldn't it be dangerous for me to do so! ”

The blacksmith's words caused a lot of discussion. Wen Hao stopped: "What is there to worry about, there is really this kind of forging Qi State has already installed it on the sergeants, and I have never heard of how powerful the weapons of the Qi army are during the battle of Luoyang." ”

Wen Hao's words made everyone feel a little calm, but Wen Yong felt something.

A knife that combines rigidity and softness? Is it the steel-clad method?

In his previous life, he had a friend who was a weapon collector, and he had a good knife at home, and Wen Yong mistook it for a katana, but he was severely criticized. The friend also distinguished Wen Yong one by one from the forging process to the performance, and said that he must let this guy who doesn't even recognize his ancestors have a lesson.

Wen Yong, who had a guess, said, "Maybe there really is such a technology!" ”

"Your Majesty knows?"

Everyone thought it was strange.

Wen Yong used his sword to draw the prototype of Tang Heng's sword on the ground, and said, "Try to embed the soft iron in the hard steel and forge it." ”

"This?"

The blacksmiths had never heard of this method of forging, and they were a little hesitant.

Wen Hao roared: "What are you doing in a daze? Don't do what Your Majesty says. ”

The craftsmen woke up like a dream and returned to their posts to forge according to Wenyong's method.

The jingling sound lasted for a long time, and when Wen Yong's mouth was dry, a Tang knife finally took shape.

The craftsman was about to quench when Wen Yong stepped forward to stop him, "Slow! ”

Under the puzzled gaze of the craftsman, Wen Yong instructed Fu'an to go out and fetch mud, and then put it on the blade of the sword with water, and then only cleaned the blade.

Cover the Burning Blade! Fortunately, this important process was not forgotten, Wen Yong handed the knife back and said, "Quench it now." ”

The red-hot Tang knife was placed in the water, and with the sound of sizzling, the bright light of the knife broke through the cover of the earth.

The craftsman took it in his hand and tasted it, both surprised and satisfied.

The craftsmen took thirty cowhides and folded them on the table to test the knives.

"I'm coming!"

Wen Yong took the Tang knife from the craftsman's hand, felt the chill brought by the great killing weapon in his previous life, and slashed down.

"One!" "Two!" "Three!" ...... "Twenty-three! "Twenty-four!"

"What a knife!"

"Divine weapons are nothing more than that!"

"Twenty-four layers of armor, this knife is really unstoppable!"

Wen Yong stroked the cold blade of the knife, feeling the breath born for killing, the power of the Tang knife is not only in the chopping, but also in the flexibility and the ability to pierce without reducing the ability, even the iron armor may not be able to block the Tang knife's hard stab.

"Alas!"

With a sigh, Wen Yong put down the Tang knife.

Wen Hao asked, "With such a sharp weapon, why does Your Majesty sigh?" ”

Wen Yong said: "This knife is complicated and time-consuming and laborious to forge, so it is not a good choice for soldiers' weapons. ”

Wen Hao thought about it carefully, it is indeed the case, the Baotou Steel Method sells technology, and it must be forged by a highly skilled craftsman with a hammer, and it is not easy to polish, the blade is scrapped when it is broken, and the consumption of a Tang knife is enough to compare with several ordinary steel knives, so expensive and difficult to popularize in the army. I'm afraid this is also the reason why this kind of technology is not used in Qi State. There are divine weapons that can't be used, and Wen Hao can't help sighing.

The Tang knife can only be supported by the national strength of the Tang Dynasty, since the steel wrapping method is not applicable, Wen Yong searched for other forging methods in his mind.

The steel clamping method, which is as famous as the cladding method!

As you can guess from the name, the process is made by sandwiching soft iron between the sides of the steel and forging it. The cost is undoubtedly much lower than that of Baotou Steel.

Wen Yong simply drew the Miao knife seen in later generations and handed it over to the craftsman for forging.

The so-called Miao knife does not refer to the knife used by the Miao people, but a kind of battle designed by Qi Jiguang in the previous life to deal with the Japanese Kou, which was named because it resembled a seedling. Compared with swords, knives are undoubtedly more convenient and convenient to use on the battlefield.

Soon, the craftsmen forged the first steel squeeze knife according to Wen Yong's description.

Wen Yong took the Miao knife and slashed it on the leather armor, and the power of the Tang knife was not reduced.

Wen Yong said with satisfaction: "First build a thousand equipped with guards, and if they are combined, then gradually adjust the size to improve the process and promote it in the army." ”
