The weapons shops on this street are all large, not only are they large in number, but also have very reliable quality, so they attract many ordinary customers in the imperial capital. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoNot only the students in the academy, but also many mercenaries and even rich and noble families come here to choose weapons, which also causes the grade of the weapon shop here to get higher and higher, after years of development, it has become the most prosperous and high-end weapon street in the entire imperial capital.

Coming here, Fang Ruitao's spirit was lifted, and his mood suddenly improved. Compared with women's love for beautiful clothes, weapons naturally attract men's attention more, and in this continent where martial arts are popular, weapons are even killed by both men and women.

Speeding up his pace, Fang Ruitao kept up with the pace of the two girls, but this time he was not sandwiched between the two daughters as he did when he came, but walked beside Gu Xinlan. Entering the weapons shop, there was no clanging sound of striking iron as Fang Ruitao imagined, on the contrary, what could be heard here was the same as the clothing street, which was the sound of bustling bargaining.

Gu Xinlan was obviously a frequent visitor here, and she led the two of them briskly through more than a dozen shops, and soon came to a relatively large weapons shop in front of the door. The façade of this armory shop is very large, and the lintel is written with five big characters of 'Morning Star Soldier Museum', and the interior of the shop is luxuriously decorated, which is obviously a very powerful high-end store.

Seeing Gu Xinlan come in, the shopkeeper obviously knew her, and immediately greeted her with a smile: "Miss Gu is here, it's really a rare guest, I don't know what Miss Gu needs?"

Gu Xinlan smiled and said, "There is nothing special needed, we just have a look." ”

"These two are your friends, everyone can look at it, look at it. Miss Gu is a distinguished guest, as long as the two of them see something, they will be sold at a 20% discount. The shopkeeper was obviously well-informed, and he knew that it was definitely not an ordinary person who could come with Gu Xinlan, so he even greeted Long Hanyue and Fang Ruitao together, looking very enthusiastic.

The enthusiasm of the shopkeeper made Fang Ruitao and others very useful, it seems that this smile is necessary for merchants everywhere, Fang Ruitao nodded and looked around.

Each of the magic refining weapons is very precious, and they are all auctioned in the high-level auction hall, and they will not be sold in this kind of weapon shop at all, so in this Morning Star Arsenal, the furnishings are just ordinary goods made by relying on the production technology.

The royal family didn't have any magic weapons, and Long Hanyue's house had a lot of magic refining weapons hanging in it, so she naturally didn't look down on these ordinary weapons that were just made. Long Hanyue is only half a layman, although her fighting spirit is not weak, her views on weapons are only good and bad, and she doesn't know anything about the material and forging process of weapons. Therefore, she couldn't see any way here, so she was bored and had to go and talk casually with Gu Xinlan in front of the rows of weapon racks.

Listening to the words of the two women commenting on which sword was made beautifully and which sword was so ugly, Fang Ruitao felt powerless. The first impression of this group of women when they see anything is always to think about whether it is beautiful or not, whether the shape is beautiful, and never think about its practicality, which is really speechless.

Compared to the two women who were judging the weapons rack, Fang Ruitao looked very carefully, and he recorded the general craftsmanship and material category of each sword one by one, in fact, his purpose was to find various other metal elements that might appear.

After walking around, Fang Ruitao found that all kinds of long swords or spear heads made of high-carbon steel here were there, and there was no shadow of alloy steel, it seemed that the understanding of metal in this world was indeed very rudimentary. Affirming this matter made Fang Ruitao very excited, and this will, along with various new weapons, become an advantage for him to cross the continent in the future.

At this moment, Fang Ruitao was suddenly attracted by several steel ingots piled up next to the door, these steel ingots did not seem to be any different, but Fang Ruitao found that there was a thick layer of dust on the surface of the steel ingots, obviously they had been placed here for a long time.

Fang Ruitao lowered his head curiously, carefully examining these steel ingots, if the quality of these steels is too poor, and they are close to the level of iron, they can be sent to the forging room at the back of the shop, so that the blacksmiths can continue to forge. As a shrewd businessman, he would not waste anything, and without this habit of careful calculation, he would easily lose money, and this blacksmith shop is such a large scale that the person who runs it is definitely not a simple person.

There is only one possibility for such people to do business and throw these ingots here, and that is that there is a problem with these ingots, and they are really unusable, so they will be abandoned.

Wiping off the dust of the steel ingots, Fang Ruitao was stunned to find that these steel ingots were still as bright as if they had just been cast, and there was no sign of oxidation and rust on the surface, which deepened Fang Ruitao's doubts. He pointed to a few steel ingots and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, do you sell these steel ingots?"

"Sir, it's better that you don't buy these ingots, because they are completely scrap, so they will be thrown here and ignored in the wind and sun. The shopkeeper sighed and shook his head, and slowly said the reason: "These steel ingots were originally cast from sample ores brought by a new ore supplier, and although the color of those ores was a little wrong at that time, after the experienced iron master said, these ores have a high iron content, so we stayed." However, after refining the craft, the masters in the forge found that the steel made from these ores was so soft that it was impossible to make swords. No matter how many times the masters refined and purified it, it was completely useless, and in the end these things were just discarded here, hoping that someone would be willing to buy them. ”

Fang Ruitao asked secretly: "Nineteen, why do you see why these ingots are soft?"

Fengyun 19 scanned it lightly and immediately replied: "These are low-chromium-manganese alloy steels, that is, a type of spring steel, of course they will be soft." ”

Hearing Fengyun No. 19's explanation, Fang Ruitao's spirit was shocked, and his eyes lit up looking at those alloy steel ingots. These steels are unintentionally made of alloy steel, which is caused by the direct refining of mineral deposits, but the most important properties of this alloy are elasticity and corrosion resistance, not hardness and rigidity, which the masters of this world naturally do not like.

Others don't like it, but it doesn't mean that Fang Ruitao won't like it, because what he needs most now is all kinds of metal elements, and this kind of steel ingot contains chromium and manganese, which are all metal elements that he urgently needs. Of course, these two elements in these alloy steels are relatively low, which is not enough to meet Fang Ruitao's needs, and he has no intention of destroying these ingots, because they are very good spring steels.
