Chapter 14: Red Refinement
Zhang Wang sprayed a cloud of samadhi fire on the meteorite again, and at this time, the softening of the meteorite became more and more obvious, and then Zhang Wang called several masters outside and made a trick to let them see the meteorite calcined in the furnace.
In the past, I didn't use the trick when calcining, because if the time was too long, it would waste mana if I maintained the spell for too long.
Now that it was ready to be built, several masters took turns picking up the sledgehammer and began to forge it.
Bell, bell, bell...
The sound of forging continued, and as time passed, the meteorite began to deform, becoming more and more flattened, and getting longer and longer, until it was cut into two pieces when it was hammered into a long stick, and became the embryo body of two gongs.
During this period, several waves of craftsmen were even changed to take turns to beat, 24 hours a day.
"This is the first time Lao Tzu has used mana continuously for a long time, but the result is quite satisfactory. Zhang Wang was holding two big shovels at this time, a little proud.
This is his first real weapon in this world, after three days and three nights of continuous calcination, coupled with three days and three nights of continuous forging before it was finally formed, the whole iron mace is a little dark red because of the long-term calcination of the Samadhi real fire.
"Then call it Chilian, well, Li Mochou should have no opinion. Zhang Wang gave his iron shovel a name, and immediately thanked the craftsmen who were also half tired after being busy in the past few days.
Looking at the sweat stains on the black and red faces of these masters, no matter what, these masters are working for themselves, although it is their own job, but Zhang Wang still decided to treat them well.
Zhang Wang sent people back to his house, and sent some of the gold and silver that the king had given him, and prepared to give them on.
"Come, masters, these gold and silver are rewarded to everyone, you all come to divide it, I have been fortunate to everyone these days, and I thank you again. ”
"Yes, yes, my lord is too polite. ”
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir. ”
Several masters were nervous, whether it was to help the country or help the powerful to build weapons, it was their job, and there were really few people who would reward them, although they felt very tired, but the feeling of being recognized made them very happy, and they expressed their gratitude.
Although each person does not share much of this gold and silver, it is estimated that it is about a month's or two months' salary, but they are already very satisfied, the life of ancient craftsmen has always been difficult, with low status, low income, and heavy work.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have already chosen a good name for these two weapons, and they are called Red Refinement. By the way, Zhang Wang told the name of several masters, which they participated in building together, and Zhang Wang respected them and didn't want to hide it from them.
"Good name, good name, my lord, Red Lian, the color of this weapon is dark red, as if there is a flame hidden deep underneath, the name of this Red Refining is very appropriate. "One of the masters is quite a bit educated, and he explained it well.
"Yes, yes, good name, good name. Several other masters also chimed in.
Now that it was just the middle of the day, Zhang Wang didn't stay long in the craftsman's mansion, took two big maces and went back to the general's mansion, and at the same time sent someone to the palace to reply to the king, send the news that it had been built, and then began to sleep regardless of it.
He was really tired, other masters could take turns to rest, but he couldn't, he participated in the whole process of fire-breathing calcination, and almost didn't exhaust him to death.
Fortunately, the Samadhi True Fire can continue to burn for a while, and then it will be sprayed out when it is finished, so that there is still a little gap to rest a little, but it is only to ease his breath, so he is still tired.
When Zhang Wang woke up, it was already night, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and after eating the dinner arranged by his subordinates, the guards sent the king's message, first congratulating Zhang Wang on his success in building weapons, and secondly, arranging a banquet tomorrow, hoping that Zhang Wang would bring new weapons for the civil and military officials to see and understand.
"There should be few people know this kind of weapon here, but it can satisfy their wishes, after all, they have to live here for a while, and they have to deal with each other for a while, and the relationship still needs to be maintained. "Zhang Wang hasn't thought about leaving so soon for the time being, and the Treasure Elephant Kingdom can still be used as a temporary base for the time being.
If you need to confirm the previous guess, you still need to use the manpower of the Treasure Elephant Country, and with the national strength of the Treasure Elephant Country, you can't do anything too out of the ordinary, but it's still okay to collect some things, such as some Taoist scriptures and Buddhist scriptures.....
Early the next morning, Zhang Wang came to the palace, the treasure elephant country is not big, it is only a small country among the many countries in the Western Regions, so there are not too many things that the king needs to deal with, with Zhang Wang's eyesight, this country is still in the rising period, although the national strength is weak but has been steadily increasing.
These things, from the living conditions of the people, the efficiency of civil and military officials can be felt, Zhang Wang learned that the current Baoxiang Kingdom has only been founded for decades, and even has the intention of expanding outside, otherwise he would not be so active in recruiting such strange people as himself.
When Zhang Wang arrived at the palace, the king was still in the early court with the ministers, Zhang Wang had never been to the court before, and he knew that he was late when he looked at the hour, but he didn't care, he had just become the general of the Baoxiang Kingdom, and he was still a newcomer, and he was really unfamiliar with these things that no one taught, and he was building weapons before, and he didn't have time to learn.
Zhang Wang simply waited outside the hall for the end of the early dynasty, and took advantage of the time to play with the red refining, after a pair of weapons was built, it was about five thousand catties, and the single one was about two thousand five hundred catties, Zhang Wang weighed it yesterday with the large weighing instrument of the craftsman's house, but there was only approximate close data, and it was impossible to be too accurate, after all, it was an ancient tool.
The red refining as a whole is not much different from the standard mace, long and bladeless, with four edges, but the end of the mace has a point, can stab, there is a blood groove, the general mace length is at most about eighty centimeters, and the length of this mace is about one meter five, almost doubled in length, and the body of the mace is thicker, this mace is pumped down, the damage is considerable.
Zhang Wang was quite satisfied with this, the weight of this pair of five thousand catties, coupled with his own divine power, even if he wore heavy armor, he was shocked to death, it was definitely a humanoid tyrannosaurus.
Zhang Wang stood outside the hall and was familiar with the weapon, the weight was no problem for him, and he could use it easily, but he didn't learn martial arts, and he didn't know how to use lethality, so he was a general, especially when he was fighting alone, so what he was thinking about now was to find a sword master and learn skills.
didn't wait long, the early dynasty was over, and I saw that some of the civil and military officials came out one after another, but they were all low-level, and the big guys were still inside.
"General Xuanmingde has come to see ......," the little eunuch shouted in a shrill voice outside the hall.
"See you here. Zhang Wang also shouted in the way he remembered on TV, and then followed the little eunuch into the main hall.
This hall is called Taiji Palace, it is the place of the court, Zhang Wang also came once before, at this time I saw that the king of Baoxiang Kingdom and some important ministers of the court were still in the hall, and they seemed to be waiting for themselves.
Zhang Wang hurriedly stepped forward and saluted, the etiquette was still in place, and he didn't look down on the king of the mortal world because he had some mana.
