Chapter 2 Crafting Tools
If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools.
Good weapons in the last days often mean that you can live.
In less than thirty minutes, he was in the Knife Maker's Workshop, a neighborhood in southern Phoenix, in a warehouse on the edge of the community, which was a little dilapidated and looked old.
The three masters were jingling inside, and when they saw Liu Haiyang's arrival, one of them, a white man in his 50s, came over to say hello, and it seemed that he was the boss here.
This white man was not tall, hot and sweaty, and his brown beard matched the dirty canvas apron on his body, and he looked quite like a master blacksmith.
Liu Haiyang explained his intention and wanted the bearded knifesmith to build three weapons.
The first is a heavy weapon: the Chinese Anti-Japanese War Broadsword.
Liu Haiyang had previously seen a video of the famous knife manufacturer Lenggang Company on the Internet, and this weapon originated in China can cut off the heads of two dead pigs with a single sword.
However, the cold steel one is a little short, with a length of about 80 centimeters, Liu Haiyang wants to create a one-meter-long two-handed broadsword, the blade and the handle of the knife are integrated keel, and the blade should be thickened to reach one centimeter.
After exchanging opinions with the master swordsmith and deciding on the shape design, Liu Haiyang chose the best steel to make this weapon.
But then the bearded swordsmith shook his head and said, "This big knife is very heavy, and although you look strong, you don't have the strength to swing it a few times." ”
Strength is not a problem, strength can be strengthened in special ways in the last days.
Of course, Liu Haiyang couldn't tell him directly. So he said to the swordsmith: "It's okay, just do it directly, and you can practice your strength slowly." ”
“OK! This is a big killer! It's been a long time since I've been a big guy like this! But the price is not cheap. The knifesmith rubbed his rough hands and said excitedly.
"How much?"
The knifesmith touched his beard and said, "$5,400." ”
$5,400? The broadsword made of the best high-carbon steel is worth it.
"There are two more, and finally they will be counted together." Liu Haiyang's parents are businessmen, although the family is wealthy, but in the end, they still have to negotiate properly and not be wronged.
Then the second one, which is a Nepalese scimitar, commonly known as a dogleg scimitar, this kind of knife is suitable for chopping, because the weight of the blade is concentrated in the front half of the knife, and the lethality is good. It is also lengthened and thickened, made of the finest steel, and has a length of 65 cm.
It took 10 minutes to determine the design of the knife shape with the cutler.
And the focus is on the last one, this weapon is a bit special. That's why Liu Haiyang chose this knifesmith, who is best known for making silver knives.
"For the third, I want a silver one-handed sword." Liu Haiyang said.
Silver weapons are extremely powerful in the last days, and many of the monsters that appear in another dimension, as well as the earth creatures affected by the dark aura of another dimension, will be restrained by silver weapons, and once they are attacked by silver weapons, these monsters will suffer extremely great damage.
"Made of pure silver? Is it a collection of crafts? The cutler's mind was a little puzzled.
Liu Haiyang shook his head and said: "It's not a handicraft, the blade is made of sterling silver, the blade must have steel stiffeners to increase toughness, the handle and the blade should be integrated keel, and the handguards can not use silver." The pattern is not too fancy, just practical"
Then he told the swordsmith that it was a Scottish one-handed sword with a length of 80 centimeters.
He added, "Both short soldiers should be sheathed, and the anti-Japanese war broadsword should be made into a cowhide case." Is there a problem? ”
The swordsmith habitually stroked his beard, thought about it carefully, and said, "No problem, but it will take some time, and the price will not be very low." ”
Liu Haiyang said: "There is no problem with the price, how long will it take to make it?" ”
Although there is time, Liu Haiyang still wants to do it as soon as possible, so that he can practice earlier, after all, time is precious now.
The cutlery replied, "It will take 15-20 days, what do you think?" ”
After Liu Haiyang agreed, he chose a finished silver dagger, this dagger blade to the handle of about 30 centimeters in length, excellent workmanship, Liu Haiyang is very satisfied with the craftsmanship of the knife maker, this knife maker is the right choice.
Entering the bargaining session, because the market price of silver was checked before coming, the last three knives were sold for $17,000, and the price was fair.
In addition, I ordered 30,000 dollars of silver from here, which is a precious thing in the last days, and it is very valuable, and I wanted to buy it in large quantities, but I thought that too much silver would take up too much space in the car, so I didn't ask for more silver.
After the tool is purchased, come back to pick up the tool within 20 days.
Just as he was about to leave, Liu Haiyang found another surprise, this boss actually had a warhead mold! This is a good thing, Liu Haiyang is worried about how to make silver into bullets.
So seven or eight different caliber molds were acquired, as well as a small metal melting furnace.
Making a warhead is very simple, use a heating furnace to heat the silver into a liquid state, pour it into a mold, and after cooling, use a bomb presser to press the shell, gunpowder, primer and silver bullet together to become a silver bullet that can be fired.
This thing is very expensive in the last days, and it is extremely sought-after, after all, it is a life-saving thing, and many groups have caught fire because of this bullet, and there are not a few people who have lost their lives to snatch it.
Liu Haiyang ordered so many things, and the knifesmith boss was also happy, and this transaction was very pleasant.
After loading the car, Liu Haiyang drove away.
Half an hour later, he returned to his quarters and moved the silver and molds to the basement and put them away. Liu Haiyang's basement is very large, he divided the basement into two areas, half of which is used as a storage room, and there are a lot of shelves in it. The other half of the space is equipped with some gym equipment.
Because I like to experience survival in the wilderness, there are a lot of related camping tools on the shelves of the storage room, including camping tents, as well as various mountaineering tools, as well as fishing supplies and outdoor cooking utensils, etc., anyway, related props should be owned.
These props are all well-known brands produced in the United States and Canada, and Liu Haiyang has made a lot of money to buy these things.
In an inconspicuous corner, there is also a gun cabinet.
There were 4 long guns in the gun cabinet, as well as a pistol.
The spears consist of a 7.62mm Remington shotgun, a 5.56mm SCAR rifle, an AK103 rifle, and a Remington 870 shotgun.
And the pistol is a more classic .45 caliber Glock pistol.
Of course, it is necessary to apply for a gun license to possess a firearm in the United States, otherwise it is an illegal act.
Liu Haiyang turned on his phone again and looked at the map.
Looking at Liu Haiyang, a hint of murderous intent appeared on his face, because he was looking for people, looking for those enemies who had seriously hurt him in the last days.
Five minutes later, Liu Haiyang recalled a scumbag in the last days through a mobile phone map.
He said coldly: "You are dead! Chop Pieces! ”
