Chapter Thirty-Eight: Excited Old Man in the Subway
The steam dissipated a dark gray two-edged flat spearhead appeared in the eyes of everyone, this spearhead was burned red, cooled, burned red, cooled hundreds of times, the hammer fell thousands of times, and the person was changed once during the period, the old man was old after all, and insisted on rotating the forging hammer for two hours, and at the moment he was still lying on his rocking chair next to him and hummed, but at this moment he saw that it had been completed, and immediately got up and squeezed into the crowd of onlookers.
"Okay, no, I haven't seen it like this, why do you want to smash it?"
"What do I think of this piece of iron, it seems to be smaller than at noon."
"But it looks a lot smoother than before."
"yes, it's a lot whiter than before."
・・・・・ onlookers looked at the new furnace that was still steaming on the iron felt, and whispered.
"Hmph, what do you know, the whiter and brighter the color, the better the quality of the iron," the old blacksmith pushed away the crowd and reached out to the iron felt and reached for the spearhead.
"Hey~hot"
"Hiss~" Although Lu Ya reminded him, the old man had already grabbed the spearhead and gasped from the heat.
But he didn't care, took a towel and wrapped it around the spearhead, and looked at it carefully.
"Ding~" A crisp metal knocking sound came from the old blacksmith's hand, and random knocking sounds sounded one after another, and after the iron old man knocked the spearhead all over his body with his fingers, the shock on his face became thicker and thicker.
The old man picked up the spearhead and slashed at the iron felt with the blade of the spear, and after a crisp sound, the edge of the pig iron felt that had been smashed was directly shattered, and then the spear blade was only a shallow dent, seeing that the old blacksmith's face began to get redder and redder, more and more red, and suddenly the old man stumbled to the side, and Lu Ya quickly grabbed him next to him, which did not let him fall to the ground.
"Hey~ What are you doing here, hurry up and drink saliva, smooth the air" Lu Ya hurriedly handed over a bowl of water for the old man to drink.
It took a long time for the old man Tie to come to his senses, and his face gradually became normal, but although he was tired, his eyes were extremely bright.
"You, you can really make the iron harder by this method, this, this is simply a miracle, it is incredible" The old man continued to express the shock in his heart.
"Well, this is just the most basic level of iron smelting and iron, you can't hold on to it when you are old, I still expect you to help smelt steel with higher strength when the time comes, you should be calmer when you are old." Ruya then spoke of an even greater temptation.
"What, it's just the most basic, it can be made better, how to do it, tell me quickly. The old man grabbed Ruya by the hand.
"I told you not to get excited, I'm going to hand over all the details I know about steelmaking to you, in fact, the things I know are all scattered, mainly depends on you to experiment a little bit, once the smelting is successful, you will be the world's first smelting master, so you must always be calm, the days to come will be long." Lu Ya is not joking, he thinks that he basically knows nothing about the way of smelting, and the only thing that is stained is the information and methods that he has heard of before, but he has not deliberately studied it, and he wants him to test the accuracy and possibility of the data little by little, but he can't do it. After all, manpower is sometimes poor, three hundred and sixty lines, and there is no end to the lines, so finding a person who understands smelting, telling him what he knows, and letting him slowly experiment is the best solution.
However, the cruel reality told him that the smelting skills of orcs or even skills were not counted, which really made him speechless, so Lu Ya could only retreat to the second, as the so-called doing a line of love, interested in the motivation, seeing that the old blacksmith in the clan did not have any excellent skills, but he could see that he really loved smelting, so Lu Ya decided to let this iron old man inherit his "mantle"
"I'm fine, I can do it, tell me about the steelmaking skills you know" The old man tried to put himself on a spirited look, wanting to learn about the superb steelmaking skills from Lu Ya right away.
"It's not early, you should rest for the night first, and I'll tell you tomorrow"
After a long period of persuasion, the old man reluctantly walked towards his residence, during which he looked back at Lu Ya step by step, and the resentment in his eyes that could not be dissolved made Lu Ya shudder.
After dinner, Ruya was called out to him by the old patriarch.
"Little Luya, how did you come to this smelting method," the old patriarch said calmly.
"Patriarch Grandpa, I don't know, it's just from the beginning of my head, I don't know what's going on, I don't know what is going on, I didn't believe it before, this time I brought back some iron ore from the market just to test, I didn't expect it to really work" This trick Lu Ya has been used perfectly, and it has been tried and tried, not that Lu Ya does not trust the old patriarch, but Lu Ya feels that there is no need to tell the old patriarch at all, so every time Lu Ya answers the old patriarch with a similar explanation about this kind of thing.
"If you can really smelt that kind of higher steel, then its meaning is more important than your god-given priest," the old patriarch also became excited.
"By the way, who knows about this kind of skill," the old patriarch suddenly asked.
"I didn't tell anyone except our people from the Blackstone tribe, and I bought those iron ores as an excuse to repair the damaged iron tools in the clan," Ruya replied.
"That's good, don't tell this secret to others easily in the future, especially human beings, you may not know what this means, just today, I will tell you some things, maybe when you know these things, you will understand the importance of this matter" The old patriarch straightened up a little, and began to say with a serious face.
"You may have heard that the continent under our feet is called Harry Continent, in fact, this continent used to be only our orc race on it, it should have been more than 300 years ago, when there was a violent earthquake in the edge of the continent that caused several huge mountain ranges to split and collapse, and then in the next few years, intermittent human beings came to our Hari continent, and then in the past hundred years, human beings began to grow more and more, and finally it didn't take long for the two groups to start a war, the human side called itself the Holy Alliance and shouted the slogan of the Eastern Crusade to gather together to attack us, and we orcs were scattered because of their habitation, was broken by the human race and almost collapsed, and later several powerful priests and wrestlers joined forces to gather the scattered orc clan together to form a tribal alliance to fight against the humans. ”
"Every one of our tribal alliances is a powerful warrior, ordinary human soldiers are not opponents at all, but humans have far more smelting water than ours, their weapons are harder and sharper, coupled with the absolute superiority of humans in numbers, the two sides once fell into a stalemate. ”
"It's just that the good times didn't last long, the endless offensive weapons and huge population base of mankind gradually took the advantage, and when the war that lasted for nearly ten years was about to end in the victory of mankind, the Holy Alliance of Men and Men suddenly announced its breakdown, the Crusade plan was shelved, and the entire Holy Alliance was quickly divided into three forces, namely the Kingdom of Noah, the Kingdom of Mickey and the Holy See."
