Chapter 19, the power of the stainless steel watermelon knife and the red star two pot heads

After introducing the "important ministers of the kingdom" to the four travelers, Wen Deji introduced the identities and abilities of these four "gods" to the local magnates present in the local language that none of the travelers could understand.

At first, the nobles listened quietly, smiling kindly from time to timeβ€”and I don't know what he was talking about, but he probably wouldn't have described his fellow citizens as omnipotent gods, as some white explorers do.

However, when Wendeji picked up a stainless steel watermelon knife from the basket brought by the servants and boasted about how sharp it was, the female warrior from the Aztec Empire, Achin Bona, suddenly stood up and said something in a somewhat fierce tone.

So, Wen Deji turned his head and smiled a little helplessly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Ms. Achembona, who has just arrived recently, doesn't seem to believe that there is a more powerful weapon on this shijie than her 'Macqua Witt', so I hope you can give a demonstration on the spot...... Which of you is going to go up and give it a try? ”

When Wang Qiu heard this, he looked left and right: Well, an old man, a loli, and a royal sister...... It seems that you can only be a man?!

So, he picked up the longest watermelon knife, stood in the middle of the room, and made a move that he had seen in a martial arts TV series.

Hey, most of the moves in martial arts movies are imagined out of thin air in the minds of the older generation of novelists, how can they be taken seriously?

Therefore, Ms. Achin Bona immediately smacked her lips, smiled contemptuously at Wang Qiu with the eyes of a rookie, and then turned around and made a gesture, and two maids carried her usual "Macquait" over.

Well, what is "Marqua Witt"?

At first glance, it is a toy knife made of wood, about 80 centimeters long and about 8 to 10 centimeters wide, but it is not even as delicate as a toy. In fact, it's a bit of a stretch to say it's a knife, but it's just a thick wooden stick with a curve, which looks more like a small oar, with a sparkling inlay around the edges.

The Aztecs of ancient Mesoamerica worshipped the jaguar so much that they called the most elite warrior in the tribe "jaguar warriors". Of course, warriors were armed with swords, but unfortunately, the Aztecs did not know how to smelt iron and could not forge bronze. Therefore, they had to dig up the existing jishu without any work, and did their best to create the most terrible weapon of the Stone Age, the "Macqua Witt", for their warriors.

The "Macquawit" is actually an obsidian machete, which looks like a wooden oar. Of course, wood alone can't kill people in any case. So, the Aztecs carved many wooden troughs into the edges of the two sides of the oars, and then used turtle droppings or gum to hold many obsidian blades firmly into the troughs, thus forming the blade of the "Macquawit", which looked like a small chainsaw that could not be turned.

-- Obsidian is a special type of volcanic rock that looks a bit like dark green glass. This material is very hard, and before the advent of bronze and iron weapons, it was used as an arrow or spearhead by many peoples.

Although the obsidian machete was strange in appearance, its power was quite amazing, and the Spanish colonists wrote in their notes that the "jaguar warrior" held the "maquawit" in both hands and could cut off the horse's head with a single wave.

However, because the stone tools could not be polished too thinly, this obsidian machete was heavy and very physically demanding to use. Generally speaking, when war breaks out, the "jaguar warriors" wield it in front of the battle for ten minutes and then get a break after the battle. …,

It is a pity that everything in the world is never ancient, and many so-called "ancient gods" are often equivalent to scrap copper and rotten iron in later generations. For example, this Stone Age magic weapon, in Wang Qiu's eyes, is just a wooden stick inlaid with a lot of glass slag. It is basically the same type as the weapon commonly used by Japanese delinquent teenagers in manga, a bat with many nails.

But Ms. Acin Bona obviously didn't think so, I saw that she picked up the heavy "Macquawit", and seemed to wave a few gorgeous moves with ease, and then ordered the maid to drag a fat fat dog over, and lifted the "Macquawit" and slashed it gently, and immediately blood splattered, and the poor fat dog didn't even have time to bark, and then the head was separated, and a dog skull rolled out of the way.

Next, Ms. Achinbona asked someone to drag out another fat dog, and at the same time motioned for Wang Qiu to cut it and try it.

Wang Qiu looked at the fat dog on the ground that was as fat as a pig, and then looked at the slender and long watermelon knife in his hand, feeling that his jishu estimate was not very good, and his strength might be a little insufficient...... So, he shook his head very firmly, and through Wen Desi's translation, he said that this kind of knife was used to stab people and not slaughter dogs, and asked to cut directly with Achinbona's "Maquawit".

Ding-bang-click!!

Under the slash, the gap between the Stone Age and the Industrial Age is fully visible - the stainless steel watermelon knife produced in the Industrial Age is basically intact, but the edge is slightly warped, and the strongest weapon of the Stone Age, "Macquawit", was immediately broken into two!

Looking at the female warrior with stunned eyes, Wang Qiu casually shook his palm, which was numb from the shock, and showed a smug smile.

- Obviously, no matter how sharp the obsidian blade of the "Macquawit" is, its blade is still wooden. However, in order to facilitate chopping, although the oar-shaped blade is wide and long, it is made very thin, and it is used to cut against the high-quality stainless steel watermelon knife that later generations used the low-temperature carburizing process...... It must have been split in two without negotiation.

This is also the reason why the Aztec warriors and the Spaniards always suffered very much in hand-to-hand combat in the future - as soon as the two sides fought, the Spaniards' steel swords were still intact, and the Aztec warriors' obsidian machetes were broken in two, so how to fight next?

In fact, neither the Stone Age nor the Bronze Age were at all comparable to the products of the Industrial Age in terms of sharpness and hardness. As long as we take a stainless steel kitchen knife from the supermarket, we can easily cut the ancient sword of the Dry General, Mo Ye and the like into slag.

Therefore, in front of the stainless steel watermelon knife, this obsidian machete, which is backward N eras, is really weak.

―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As a vignette of the feast, the contest between the stainless steel watermelon knife and the obsidian machete soon came to an end.

Although she felt a little distressed that the obsidian machetes she had used for many years had unfortunately been destroyed, Ms. Achimpona's face immediately softened after learning that these watermelon knives also had her own share. When Wang Qiu took out a silver oversized fruit knife with a tiger carved on its scabbard from her bag and gave it to her as a gift, Achin Bona even smiled and threw Wang Qiu a slightly flirtatious wink.

It's a pity that this lady is a little older, and Wang Qiu said that she is not interested in muscular women.

The fat dog used to test the knife was not wasted, and immediately let the diligent cooks peel and cut the meat, with some fresh potatoes, plus the refined salt and curry powder brought by the traversers, and soon made a hot pot of curry potato dog meat hot pot. …,

The traversers were pleased with the rather fatty dog meat, while the natives raved about the curry powder that they had never tasted before.

Just as a warrior must be accompanied by a sword, so good food must be accompanied by good wine. Although the corn wine brewed by the Indians themselves did not taste very good, it was generally not carefully filtered and was drenched with lees, but after settling for a while, it was still able to be eaten. However, just as Wang Qiu and the others poured the wine into the disposable paper cup they brought, intending to raise their necks and pour it down, they were stopped by Wen Desi.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's best not to drink this wine. He smiled wryly and said, "...... Otherwise, if you see how they make wine one day, you'll be nauseous to the point of vomiting. ”

It turned out that the Indian brewing jishu was very backward and full of unhygienic style of the Stone Age - specifically, women chewed corn kernels in their mouths, then spit them into clay pots, sealed and stored, and over time, fermented into corn liquor rich in the flavor of primitive society.

Obviously, drinking such wine is tantamount to licking someone else's saliva. For Wang Qiu, if it is a young and beautiful girl's saliva, it may be reluctantly acceptable, but the problem is that among the women who make wine, there are quite a few goosebumps......

By the way, Wen Deji himself seems to have been drinking only the corn wine "brewed" by his wife and sister-in-law.

After listening to Wen Desi's introduction, all the traversers were quite sick to their stomachs for a while. Wang Qiu, Ma Tong and Cai Rong all poured the corn wine in their cups and drank another pure natural and pollution-free nectar drink, while Professor Yang Wenli took out a small bottle of Red Star Erguotou from his arms after hesitating for a moment.

As soon as this transparent glass bottle was taken out, the eyes of all the indigenous magnates present lit up. And after the bottle was opened, a pungent aroma of wine wafted out from afar, making everyone can't help but take a deep breath.

The Indians, who have a simple personality, don't seem to know what it means to be reserved. After discovering that the guests had brought good wine, the Awaha chief and several elders began to heckle and ask for a taste of the wine.

So, Professor Yang, who was as good as a stream, took out several bottles of Red Star Erguotou and a large number of crystal clear glass wine glasses - looking at the logo printed on it, it seemed to be a gift when buying liquor - and poured a glass of Erguotou to everyone.

The Indians, who had never tasted distilled liquor, first praised these small crystal-like cups a few times, and then licked their lips with the wine, and immediately there was a burning sensation that spread all over their mouths along their lips. When they drank it all with their necks tilted up, they only felt as if fire was spewing out of their throats and stomachs, and they had to quickly stuff a lot of fruit and barbecue meat into their mouths, which suppressed the strength of the wine.

However, when the momentum subsided, they were all hooked again, and they wanted to drink again......

Zuihou, a dozen or so indigenous magnates who accompanied him, drank too much Red Star Erguotou at the banquet, and they were all carried out unconscious. Wang Qiu and others also added a high-concentration soju to the list of dumping commodities here.

In short, through the public relations activities at this banquet, the market of the entire kingdom of Hongshutizgan has been successfully opened.
