Volume 1 In the Name of the Getian Clan Chapter 111 Mortal Weapons
There are more than a dozen thick stone beams horizontally above the large volcanic magma pool, extending from the lowest stone platform, intersecting above the magma pool, forming a huge stone beam support, Zhu Huo's refining furnace fire is built on the stone beam, the bronze rotor slowly rotates above, twisting the chain to draw water from the underground dark river, and flow through the furnace fire along the groove of the stone beam for quenching.
The red light of the magma reflected the scorching stone walls at the bottom of the volcano, and the water flowing in the stone trough was like blood in the veins, reflecting the broken shadows of a group of strong men on the stone beams, and the sound of wrought iron sharpening gold was amplified by the sound of the curved stone walls inside the large volcano, and echoed along the rising heat flow between the upper, middle and lower stone platforms, echoing with the singing of young women washing their silk yarns.
Zhu Huo's sturdy refiner was wearing only a crotch cloth all over his body, his bronzed and solid muscles were red by the firelight, and beads of sweat flowed down on his skin and flesh, and two of them were holding a sledgehammer in their hands, and one of them was holding a pair of tongs to pick up the red-hot iron from the fire, and put it on the anvil, and the man with the hammer began to beat it in turn.
Tai Jia and Ge Tianxue, and the three women of Feng Rou came to this casting room filled with male breath, Tai Jia looked calm, and even looked at the angular muscles of those adult men with appreciative eyes, although Feng Rou's body was half taller than these men, but in terms of age, she was still a little girl, and her fair face was red by the fire, covering her shyness.
"Be careful, be careful!" A man's rough and hoarse shout came from behind, Ge Tianxue grabbed Feng Rou's arm as thick as her thighs, and pulled the short-breathing giant girl aside, a gust of hot wind swept by her side, and the three Zhuhuo teenagers pushed the wooden wheeled cart past the three of them, glancing at Tai Jia out of the corner of their eyes, and did not forget to shout in the hurry, "Master Chief Planner!"
Tai Jia nodded with his hands behind his back, and slapped a young man's bulging back while the three of them were passing by, laughing, in the car body was a pair of black and gray ores, and the three young and sturdy young men had tense muscles all over their bodies, gritting their teeth and pushing the wooden cart into the furnace.
Tai Jia kicked the stone beam that was pressed by the wooden wheeled car, there were two ruts on it, and the hard stone beam was pressed out of the rut by the wooden wheeled car, which showed the busyness of the casting room.
"My lord, what are you doing?" asked Tai Jia as she took out a tape measure made of leather to measure the distance between the two ruts.
"Measure the distance between the wheels and see if you can lay a track on it, I see that they are pushing the wooden wheeled cart very hard, which is too inefficient!"
"My lord, what are railroad tracks?"
"The rails are ...... Railroad tracks!" She replied casually, Zhu Huocan stopped what he was doing when he saw Tai Jia and the three of them coming, he was also only wearing a crotch cloth, sweat was flowing on his white and chubby body, his hair was wrapped in a turban, and he came to Tai Jia and saluted.
"Ah, Master Planner, why are you here in person......? Oops, that's rude!"
Tai Jia looked at Zhu Huocan with a scrutinizing gaze and said with a smile, "Ah Can, as the head of the clan, your figure is not a little worse than your clansmen! This fat belly, cut it and it is full of oil! Can you afford to pick up a hammer?"
Hearing Tai Jia's bold words, Feng Rou felt a little out of breath, and her face was flushed by the fire, almost suffocating.
Zhu Huocan smiled embarrassedly with his stomach, "The strength under is alive, and the strength of these boys is all dead, don't look at the five big and three thick, stupid and dull!"
"Your Excellency, you are stepping on the ground, but do you have any instructions?"
"What kind of 'undignified land'? The inside and outside of the great volcano are the territory of the Getian clan, and you say that my territory is a lowly land?"
Zhu Huocan wiped the sweat on his face, smiled silently, and Tai Jia said, "How are the iron pipes I asked you to build?"
"I've finished eight of them, but I'm dull at the bottom, and I still don't know what I want those iron pipes to do? It's too thin to use as a new celestial bronze watch, and it's too short to use as a water pipe......"
"You'll know later, take me to see it!"
There is a stone platform above the casting room, piled up with many cast blades and tools, and there are special personnel to send the weapons to another grinding room for further polishing and polishing, and finally to the spirit injection room by several old men with the most respected status of the Zhuhuo clan to bless the spirit body on the blade, making it a spiritual treasure.
Tai Jia's things were piled on the ground, a total of eight thick iron pipes one zhang long, the thickness of a bucket, one end was open and the other end was closed with a gate, and there were two small holes on it, she took a small hammer and knocked it around, holding her breath and listening to the sound, Zhu Huocan had already put on a robe at this time, and said with a smile when she saw this, "With the ability of Zhu Huo's refining tools, casting these iron pipes will be captured, and at your request, they will be made of the best refined steel, which will be formed at one time."
"I'm listening to see if there's a crack in it, don't talk!"
She knocked them one by one, and when she didn't hear any signs of a crack, she had the eight heavy iron pipes lifted to the middle of the fortress.
Leaving the bottom casting room, Tai Jia came to the lower eight districts, and now the trade area has been inspected, the trade area is built on the largest stone platform on the lower floor, there are more than ten miles in a radius, there are already many merchants settled here, Tai Jia intends to replace the gray lord's No. 72 trade city, and the lower trade area will be open to everyone, and the merchants surnamed are too lazy to go to the No. 72 city to be a second-class dealer, so they settled directly in the big volcano.
Seeing Tai Jia's arrival, there are almost no merchants here who don't know this young chief planner, but the patriarch Ghost Fang Duo is still mysterious and unfamiliar to many people, if Tai Jia is not alone and a young woman, I am afraid that some people have already suspected that she has the idea of treating the patriarch as her.
The trade area is adjacent to the workshop area, between the two stone platforms are connected by fifteen iron cable pontoon bridges, the workshop area is mainly used to make some daily use utensils and tools, in addition to satisfying the use of Ge Tian's own use, the excess will be sold, the iron cable pontoon bridge is about 100 zhang long, the chain is paved with wooden boards, people walk on it and sway, below is the abyss, fall down or fall on the lower stone platform into a meat pie, or fall directly into the magma pool into ashes.
Crossing the pontoon bridge, Tai Jia came to a stone workshop, where mules, horses, and workers pushed carts in and out, pushing crops such as wheat and corn and grinding bags of flour and corn flour out.
This is a grain processing workshop designed by Tai Jia himself, twelve mills work at the same time, run on their own, connected to a hardwood spindle in the middle of the workshop through chains, and the power comes from those hot air driven rotors, this is one of the four grain workshops in the workshop area, and the person in charge is the former Ji Luan, the elder of the Ji family.
Although the old man was old, he had a strong sense of responsibility, and he patrolled back and forth in the workshop with his hands behind his back, holding a broom and a small dustpan in his hand, and when he saw the scattered corn on the ground, he looked distressed, and muttered that the young man was not careful, and wasted the food in vain, and swept the scattered corn into the dustpan, and then poured it into the bag he was carrying.
The young man who was guarding in front of a stone mill was drowsy, nodding and dozing off, and was seen by Ji Luan, and the broom in his hand was slammed against his back, "Lazy worm, let you watch the mill you sleep here!"
The young man complained, "This mill can walk on its own, and I feel very sleepy when I look at it, so don't blame me!"
"You just have a comfortable life, you have a lazy meat, let me see again, don't do it here, I'll tell the treasurer, transfer you to the hunting team and follow Lao Mo Pimao and them to hunt in the mountains and forests!"
"Don't, don't, the little one is wrong, I can't stand the wind, sand, rain and dew outside......"
When Tai Jia arrived, Ji Luan was reprimanding the young man, and the other people in the workshop stood up after seeing Tai Jia.
"Master Soldier!"
"Master Planner, you're here!"
The workshop area is all members of the Getian clan, except for the thirteen surnamed children who were later merged into the Heclan, most of them are the original members of the Great Volcano, and they came here to settle here with the ghost Fang Duo Tai Jia and his party from the West Desolate Gobi, these people have great respect for Tai Jia, and think that it is all the credit of the chief planner to have the abundant food and clothing that he can have today.
Tai Jia nodded, looked at the young man and asked, "What did this young man do?"
Ji Luan glanced at the young man, the other party showed a pleading look at him, Tai Jia didn't want to listen to the old man lie, so he asked a girl who was sweeping flour, and learned that he was dozing off while working, Tai Jia was immediately extremely annoyed, and frowned, "You can't do such an easy job, what's the value of staying here?" Ji Luan, you tell Yi Huan, I will transfer him to the lower casting room to help Zhu Huocan transport ore!"
The young man looked dejected, and his lazy flesh trembled, and everyone in the entire great volcano knew that the lower casting room was the most tired.
"The Ge Tian clan can't have a dry meal!" Tai Jia said to everyone, "We don't raise moths!"
Tai Jia's resoluteness has been seen by everyone, she sometimes behaves extremely gently, sometimes almost ruthless, and the itinerant law enforcer in charge of Ge Tian's punishment carries out every order of Tai Jia unconditionally, almost equivalent to her private army, even those elders and councilors in the council are a little afraid of this young woman, the guilty clansmen must be approved by her before they are killed, it can be said that she controls the lives of others with a pen.
"Ji Luan, did I let you get those ores that I milled with the finest stones?"
"My lord, please come with me!"
There are three fine small stone mills in the stone room, grinding the crushed ore back and forth more carefully, and the six delicate and skillful girls swept the almost crushed ore into the stone bowl, and continued to grind with the stone pestle, and saw Tai Jia and the six people bowing and saluting.
Tai Jia waved his hand, reached out and dipped a little stone powder between his fingers.
Feng Feng asked puzzled, "My lord, what can these stone powders do?"
"Make weapons!"
"What kind of weapon, do you want to raise it in people's eyes?"
Tai Jia couldn't help but smile when she heard this, patted her arm and said, "I'm going to make a mortal weapon, and my name is ......'The Sorrow of the Knight Master'"
Feng Rou looked surprised, thinking that the name was a bit funny, but she was already surprised by Tai Jia's strange behavior.
