Chapter Eighty-Three: The Dark Iron Weapon (2)
According to the old blacksmith's description, his ancestors had come into contact with the black iron ore, which was said to have been found after the fall of an extraterrestrial meteorite, which was dark black and faintly red, extremely heavy in his hand, and extremely hard and difficult to melt.

If you can't melt the iron ore, you can't craft weapons according to the normal process. For this reason, the ancestors of the old blacksmith came up with a disguised solution, that is, to keep burning at high temperatures and remove as many other impurities from the ore as possible.
When the dark iron has been under high temperature for a long time and gradually softens, it is then hammered day and night to barely knock the ore out of the shape of a weapon, and then quenching, opening and other steps.
This process took almost 4 years, and it took 2 and a half years just to collect the raw materials, so Yang Guang naturally couldn't wait that long. In fact, there is no problem with this idea, but the ancient industry, technology, materials, etc. do not meet the requirements, so it will be so complicated.
Now China's industry is so developed, many things that were difficult to do in the past can be easily done with money. Yang Guang spent money to order several sets of small equipment and buy a large amount of fuel for power generation, and solved the problem that used to take two and a half years to do well in a week.
In order to keep it secret, the old blacksmith chose the location in the old house in the countryside, and he didn't even bring an assistant, and Yang Guang did some chores for him.
With modern instruments and equipment, the main components in the black iron chai knife can be easily analyzed. In fact, less than 8% of the more than 20 catties of firewood knives are made of black iron, and the rest are all what the ancients called 100 steel.
Limited by the ancient level of technology, these hundred steels are not as good as modern special tungsten steel alloys, and it is better to continue to use them directly. So the old blacksmith used the smelting equipment to remove these unusable impurities as much as possible, and obtained a piece of dark iron the size of a child's fist.
It is impossible for the equipment Yang Guang bought to melt the dark iron, but it is barely possible to heat and soften it. With his rich experience, the old blacksmith operated the equipment to beat the softened iron, waited until the iron cooled a little, and then heated it. After two days of repeated efforts, the black iron block was finally turned into the shape designed on Yang Guang's drawings.
Fortunately, there were modern equipment that could adjust the frequency and intensity of the blows, otherwise even if Yang Guang and the old blacksmith could afford to pick up a sledgehammer, they would have been tired and vomited blood after 48 hours of continuous work.
The rest of the things like quenching and opening the front became simple, and by the time this Xuantie weapon appeared in front of Yang Guang's eyes again, it had been completely reborn into a new appearance.
Yang Guang took the dark iron weapon shaped like a crescent moon from the old blacksmith and held his hand in the middle. This is the weapon designed by Yang Guang with reference to the game - the Moon Blade.
The upper and lower sections of the moon blade are about half a foot long, and the blade is jagged, making it sharp both inside and out. When Yang Guang then swung it, the sharp whistling sound produced when it broke through the air was incessant, and his skin couldn't help but start to contract.
Despite the fact that the blade of the weapon was very thin, but thanks to the characteristics of the dark iron that it was very hard, Yang Guang tried to use the automatic hammering device to force the blade plane with the highest frequency and strength, and after several minutes, he was unharmed, and he didn't even see the slightest bend.
As for the sharpness, it is even more amazing, because the purity is much higher than the previous chai knife, and the power is naturally much greater than that of the chai knife.
Once such a weapon flies and starts spinning, it will definitely turn into a suffocating reaper weapon. When you hold it in your hand, you can use a scimitar and a dagger to fight, and dealing with miscellaneous soldiers is no different from mowing grass.
As for facing a strong enemy with superb martial arts, with Yang Guang's hand-to-hand combat ability that is not even a three-legged cat, he will end up with the same weapon with any weapon, of course he will not be stupid to use a short blow and a long one.
Yang Guang, who was extremely satisfied, named this dark iron moon blade "Shadow Death", hoping that any enemy would be like a shadow under the shroud of his moon blade.
After a busy week, the old blacksmith couldn't eat or sleep well, and the whole person looked a little older. Yang Guang took out 1 million cash again as agreed, and quietly returned to Binhai City.
As the big boss of the inheritance art company, Yang Guang is actually not very competent, the company's flagship store in Meijia shopping mall opened, he didn't go over to press the scene, and let Sister Jiang's daughter Song Jia be busy alone.
However, with Song Jia's efforts and Shen Yiheng's support, the sales of these beautifully made and cheap Chinese knots are relatively good, and the sales have increased significantly every day.
As for the foreign trade business with Shen Yiheng, the 300,000 Chinese knots have been delivered at one time, and the payment is more than 400,000 yuan according to the 20% discount of the market price, which has been transferred to the account of the inheritance company to pay for the rent, decoration and artificial water and electricity expenses of the flagship store.
After a rough calculation, this Chinese business almost brought back 1.3 million yuan of income to Yang Guang. A quarter of the rice he transported to Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty was consumed, and at least half of it was used to relieve those orphans and widows in disguise.
Simply calculating the profit, there can be about 20 times the windfall profit, but at present, this business has just begun, the scale is not very large, and it is naturally much less than the log business in absolute terms.
This business is very exquisite, and you can't eat it like wood and become fat. More importantly, this business of buying handicrafts will gradually increase Yang Guang's influence in Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty, which cannot be bought back by any amount of money.
Mentioned to the company's sister Jiang about purchasing logs from Africa, and asked her to pay attention to the notice to pick up the goods, Yang Guang transported the 100 tons of rice and 1,000 kilograms of industrial silver ingots purchased again, activated the time and space gate and returned to Yangzhou in the Ming Dynasty.
After discovering that Yang Guang was back, Fang Shan asked a little nervously: "Boss, is your business good lately?" ā
Yang Guang didn't know why, and replied, "It's good?" What's wrong? ā
"You don't know?" Fang Shan was a little strange, took out a copy of the newspaper and pointed to the fold on it and said, "Do you still remember when the White Lotus Sect in Yangzhou was in turmoil, a group of swordsmen attacked the docks outside the city that night, right? The origin of these swordsmen has been found out, they are seafarers! ā
Yang Guang quickly understood what Fang Shan meant, the so-called seafarers were actually people who did maritime smuggling trade. He had been misleading Fang Shan and the others into doing a sea trade business, and now that his peers were openly colluding with the White Lotus Sect to cause chaos, his sea trade business might be greatly affected, no wonder Fang Shan would ask this.
