Chapter 500: The Great Iron and Steel Movement (Part II)
Chapter 500: The Great Iron and Steel Movement (Part II) Before the Battle of Tomato City Begins. Liang Xi had promised that the captured weapons would be handed over to these warriors, allowing them to melt and forge weapons.
Stone weapons are decent in weight and power, but they lack the slashing feel of steel weapons.
Moreover, stone weapons are not convenient for the infusion of true power and battle qi, so the crocodile warriors and dragon berserkers have long been impatient.
Seeing that each of them was carrying a bulging baggage, Liang Xi realized how many weapons he had gotten this time.
"It's not good steel, but at least it's enough to satisfy their cravings. Liang Xi said in his heart.
Because there is no way to make a teleportation array that can be transported on a large scale, Liang Xi has never been able to go to the Yan Crack in the West Sea to obtain rare metals to make weapons, so in Liang Xi's heart, he still feels a little indebted to these warriors.
Seeing their stunned looks at each other at this moment, Liang Xi nodded and smiled: "Go find the merman, but remember not to worry, slow work and meticulous work, rather do it slowly than produce scrap." ”
"Yes, yes!" Sang Zhulan nodded with a smile, and he was extremely happy to think that he could throw away his stone trident this time.
Yang Fan checked the big pocket on his back and said to Liang Xi: "Lord, have you seen it, I have a surplus of weapons to make two double-edged giant axes here!"
Liang Xi glanced around and found that each of them was carrying a large burden, and the weapons in it were obviously too much to use to smelt a weapon: "Why do you want-"
Before he finished speaking, Liang Xi understood, and couldn't help but scold: "It turns out that you have already thought about it, and I am still worried about you!"
Each of them carried so many iron tools on their backs, just to ask the sharks to help temper it, remove the impurities in the steel, use the materials of the two weapons, extract the essence, and finally make a weapon, the quality of this weapon must be better than the two.
These fighters have already thought about it from the very beginning.
Liang Xi laughed and scolded and drove them out of the city.
In addition to the crocodile warriors and dragon berserkers, there were also a small number of awakened archers who also ran out with their burdens, Qin Anyu was so happy that his mouth was almost to the root of his ears, and Liang Xi could see his mouth from his back.
Watching a group of them running towards the Sangqu River, Liang Xi shook his head, and couldn't help but worry about the sharks: I hope you won't die of exhaustion.
Seeing a group of people standing by the river, and all of them couldn't wait, Bo Yue was so angry that he scolded his mother at the bottom of the river.
The mermaids had not slept all night before to rebuild Tomato City, and they were already half tired to death, and now they had to refine and forge weapons for these warriors, but they clearly remembered that the last time they helped them cast weapons with magma, each time the warriors were not satisfied, and the repeated modifications made the mermaids so tired that they almost vomited blood.
This time it is made of steel, and it will be extracted and then cast, so I'm afraid there will be more saliva.
Looking at the entire row of hundreds of people, as well as the huge burden they carried, Bo Yue had already thought of the hard days of the next half a month.
"Why are we mermaids so miserable, we finally learned a skill, and we were used as coolies!" If it weren't for the fact that he was in the river, Bo Yue's eyes would definitely have two big bags of tears on his eyes.
Although they were extremely unhappy in their hearts, the sharks didn't dare to show it on their faces.
Dragon berserkers and archers are fine, these crocodile warriors are definitely not to be messed with.
They have followed the lord the longest time, and they have the most rogue habits.
If the sharks dare to show the slightest impatience, they will definitely jump into the Sangqu River and directly attack you.
The amphibious physique allows them to be physically flexible in the Sangqu River without being affected at all, and they are also true martial arts dual cultivators, and the water physique also allows them to easily play with the mermaids in the palm of their hands.
"Who made the family the strongest fighting race in the Seven Realms!" the mermaids lamented, staring at the bloodshot huge eyes that floated to the surface, and the night without sleep made them look terrifyingly haggard.
"Hehe, help my brothers forge weapons, I won't treat you badly. Sang Zhulan smiled slyly, put the huge bag on the ground, and with a bang, the ground shook three times, and the mermaids' eyelids jumped three times.
He opened his pocket and poured out the contents of the weapons, and in addition to the bloodstained and shocking weapons, there were also a dozen tender milk fruits.
Seeing the milk fruit, the sharks involuntarily agitated in their throats and swallowed their saliva in large gulps.
Sang Zhulan smiled and threw the milk fruit on the ground into the shark crowd, causing the shark people to snatch it for a while.
Nothing else is good on the banks of the Sangqu River, but it is a food that people can't refuse at all.
The other crocodile warriors and dragon berserkers, as well as the archers, all put down their baggage, and they all hid a few milk fruits in it.
They know that the mermaids must be tired of rebuilding Tomato City, but now that you have eaten us with soft mouths and taken us short, please help you forge weapons and what nonsense are you talking about?
The sharks were churning in the water for a while, and when they came out of the water, their cheeks were bulging, their mouths were open and closed, and from time to time a viscous white liquid flowed out of the corners of their mouths, accompanied by a satisfied look on their faces, Liang Xi, who had just arrived here, couldn't help but sweat profusely: "This-mother-is really evil!"
The well-fed and well-fed mermaids felt refreshed, and at the impatient urging of the crocodile warriors, they flapped their tails and climbed onto the riverbank, and began to melt the weapons as they asked.
This time, the craft of the weapon is much more complicated than the last time it was directly forged with lava.
The first weapons and materials to be seized were of mixed quality, some of which were wooden handles.
All the non-steel materials should be picked out and thrown away, and the rest of the steel should be melted together.
After melting, it is necessary to continuously extract to remove impurities and leave as much steel as possible.
After the extraction is completed, it is melted, and after the casting is finalized, the weapon is put into the Sangqu River to cool.
The red-hot weapon was stuffed into the river, and there was a sneering sound, and the river instantly boiled, raising strings of white smoke.
From a distance, I could only see a section of the Sangqu River swirling with steam, and the heat was rolling in.
It is also thanks to the merman's heat resistance to do this job, otherwise these warriors will be powerless to scavenge iron tools, so they can only stare dryly.
Because of the cumbersome casting process, Tomato City was almost in a state of national steelmaking in the next ten days.
Every day before dawn, there is a shouting sound on the edge of the Sangqu River, and in the evening, the molten iron that melts the steel dyes the sky red.
The steam enveloped the entire section of the river, and it was like entering a bathhouse, and it was so hot that people sweated.
The high level of interest of the crowd made the villagers who had just moved from the rest of the places inexplicable, and then they were collectively relieved: "No wonder we can repel the attack of the bandits, see how united the people are, and the whole people will make steel!"
Seeing that Tomato City was normalized again, the smile on Daddy Bulan's face began to bloom like a chrysanthemum, and it couldn't be closed.
One day at noon, when Liang Xi finished lunch and sat on the top of the tallest tower in Tomato City, wondering why his arm had not healed, he suddenly felt a cold touch on the tip of his nose.
Liang raised his head in confusion and saw that silver filaments were faintly falling from the sky.
After taking a closer look, Liang Xi suddenly understood: "The rainy season has finally arrived. ”
