From the coincidence of Zhang Huansheng, he rescued 3,000 slaves from the hands of slave traders, and built Zhangyi on the isolated island to establish the foundation of Zhangyi, which has been more than six years.

Now the small Zhangyi is already a state with tens of millions of elite soldiers, and Jane, who is the best in the army, has drawn out a hundred generals, and Duan Zhenfeng is one of the best.

Although he was born as a peasant in the border land of Quanguo, he was nearly eighteen years old and was blessed by misfortune before he had the opportunity to learn literature and practice martial arts after Zhang Guo entered the army, but he was extremely talented and willing to work hard, and soon stood out, and now he is a person with eight grades.

Zhang Guo, who is not too tall but lacks warriors and monks, is already able to do things, and he is calm and calm, so he was recommended by Zhou Moke to enter Zhang Huansheng's eyes, and was promoted to become a guard of a confidential place.

At this time, he got the opportunity to face the saint, and after Duan Zhenfeng respectfully kowtowed on one knee again, he stood up, bowed his head and moved out of the way.

Seeing this, the armor soldiers who followed him immediately lined up as if they were one person at intervals, and turned into a protective formation.

"Captain Duan is a well-trained soldier." Seeing this scene, Zhang Huansheng couldn't help but praise softly, Duan Zhenfeng's heart was shocked, and he didn't even dare to say anything, but he himself took a big step without caring and walked into the secret door on the mountain wall in the distance.

Inside the door is a corridor with a ceiling of several feet, which can accommodate at least ten people walking side by side on the ground, and the top of the wall is inlaid with countless fluorite lighting, and it is inclined downward.

Zhang Huansheng took a step ahead and advanced towards the ground for a while, feeling the chill getting stronger and stronger, and couldn't help but turn his head curiously and ask Duan Zhenfeng, who was following closely: "Duan Duwei, I have never been to this underground furnace, it is obviously built under the volcano, why is it so cold?" ”

Duan Zhenfeng explained respectfully: "Your Majesty, the last general heard from the master of Jiatai Dur who supervised the construction of this place, after all, this underground furnace is the secret forging technique of the Carthage Kingdom, although the Yanhuang craftsmanship has given him some inspiration for improvement, but the root cannot be changed.

And the best quenching method of Carthage is not our Yanhuang's 'water quenching' but 'ice quenching', which is based on the use of Carthage's secret method of elemental transformation before the furnace was built, and first built an extremely cold underground ice cave. ”

Zhang Huansheng listened to what he said, and looked at Duan Zhenfeng with some surprise: "I didn't expect that Duwei, as a guard, would be so attentive to this craftsman's work, and he could tell it in an orderly manner." ”

"The king has praised it, the last general is the general of the important military land," Duan Zhenfeng said humbly when he heard this: "Naturally, you should know which is the most important hub in the defense land, and you must be careful..."

The two chatted like this and went deeper into the ground for more than hundreds of zhang, and finally came to the end of the road, along a rock road about ten zhang wide, and walked on a huge square stone platform that was more than 100 zhang high, nearly 1,000 zhang long and wide, suspended in the air and built near the abyss.

The stone platform is strange and abnormal, paved with flat black cast iron, the ground is densely covered with slide rails, and in the center there is an area of more than 100 zhang in circumference, a mysterious rune array carved in the shadow, and there is magma seeping out from the incomparably complex nicks, flowing slowly.

The lava flow should have made people feel like the heat was striking, but the strange thing was that the rune array continued to reveal countless miserable white frost and cold air, freezing the living water in the surrounding trenches that were densely arranged like stars and moons into solid ice.

On all sides of the stone platform, except for the two suspended rock passages that communicate with the front and back, there are all rapids flowing down like waterfalls.

The edge of the stone platform is faintly made of countless gold and iron, and the roller blades of the waterwheel wheels are constantly rotating under the impetus of the water, and some complex machinery is driven by the complicated pulleys and chains, and the red molten iron carried by the craftsmen using the slide rail iron car is stamped into various shapes, armor, blades, and small objects of unknown use.

After these molten iron creations have cooled and solidified a little, they will be thrown into the ice tank by craftsmen, and a burst of water vapor will fill the air, and the quenching will be completed.

Standing at the end of the rock road and looking at this unbelievable scene, Zhang Huansheng couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and secretly sighed in his heart: "This civilization is really the stone of his mountain that can attack jade."

Who would have thought that a dead country in Xizhou would have such a miraculous casting technique! ”

In a trance, a group of craftsmen on the stone platform had already rushed over, half of them were black-haired, smoky, yellow-skinned Yanhuang people, and half were variegated Carthaginians with snow-like skin.

Faced with a king who could decide his own fate, the Yanhuang craftsmen immediately knelt on the ground according to the tradition of dignity and order, but the Carthaginian craftsmen only bent down deeply, showing their obedience and respect, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this scene, the Sui Hu and Jia soldiers who followed behind Zhang Huansheng all showed anger in their eyes, but no one dared to speak out at the risk of the great crime of losing honor in front of the king.

But Zhang Huansheng came back to his senses but did not get angry, but casually summoned a hurricane to help the Yanhuang craftsmen up, as if he was afraid that the defenders would be difficult to disobey the Carthaginian craftsmen in the future, he turned his head and explained: "The customs of the Carthaginians and our Yanhuang people are different, except for the gods of faith, they do not bow down to the kings of the world.

This is their ancestral ritual for millions of years, and we must respect it if we use it as a guest chat, you know? ”

When everyone heard this, they had no choice but to respond, and those Carthaginian craftsmen straightened up and gratefully praised Zhang Huansheng as a generous and generous king.

Zhang Huansheng himself silently thought: "Just look at this quenched ice cave, you can know that these miscellaneous gentlings are much more useful than I imagined, and you can't kill them all because your knees are unwilling to bend."

Then I'm really a faint king that I rarely see in the ages. He said aloud: "Master Jiatai Dur, you have fulfilled your promise and created this miraculous gold and iron casting method in front of me.

Then I will also fulfill my promise.

From today onwards, all the Carthaginians who have been redeemed by me from the Western Qin people will be treated the same as citizens of Zhangguo, and I will ask the government to build you houses, arrange suitable jobs, and if you don't want to, you will receive money to move freely and earn a living in the hinterland of Zhangguo. ”

"Thank you for your generosity, great king," said a thin old man with a white beard among the Carthaginian craftsmen, and said in a hoarse voice, "We in Carthage, craftsmen, astrologers, philosophers, mathematicians... In short, all those who are proficient in a skill are called scholars.

Therefore, the 18,000 Carthaginian scholars you have redeemed are equivalent to elites from all walks of life, and I believe that our acceptance will make your young nation grow healthier and stronger. ”

Zhang Huansheng laughed and said, "I also think so of Master Jiatai Dur, by the way, have you imitated the armor of the Elemental Armor?" ”
