"Your Majesty, the newly forged weapons and armor have been escorted outside the main hall and are waiting for Your Majesty to inspect—"

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but perk up.

"Lift it up!"

Soon, several guards, led by several palace guards, carried the heavy box, walked up to the hall, and after putting it down, they bowed down and retreated to the side, and the First Emperor couldn't wait to walk to the box.

Kuro couldn't help but lean over.

I really want to see what kind of iron weapon it is, which can be called a divine weapon by this somewhat obsessive young man in front of me!

The box opens.

Just by glancing at it, Hei's eyes couldn't help but light up.

On top of it was a long sword with a strange style!

The sword body is slender and straight, cold and steep.

From his point of view, the whole thing looked like a pool of flowing autumn water, glowing with a cold cold light. With his eyes, he naturally saw the advantages of this long sword at a glance.

Compared with the traditional long sword, it has a stronger piercing ability, and if the toughness is enough, I am afraid it is more conducive to chopping.

"Good sword!"

The First Emperor bent down and picked up a handful, but as soon as he weighed it in his hand, he couldn't help but praise it out loud.

This longsword, which looks a little strange, seems to be easier to exert force.

"Bring the sword!"

The First Emperor looked at the guards on the side, and the guards quickly took off the long sword at his waist, turned the hilt upside down, and handed it over with both hands. The First Emperor stretched out his hand to take it, weighed each of them, and then suddenly exerted his strength and slashed down.

"Boom-"

Just listening to the sound of the golden and iron resonance of Qingyue, the First Emperor and the black on the side couldn't help but light up. They were all connoisseurs, and the sound could tell what the texture of this new longsword was.

The First Emperor couldn't wait to raise the long sword in his hand to his eyes.

The body of the sword is like a rainbow, glowing with fine fish scales, and it is undamaged!

On the contrary, the long sword handed over by the guards in the hall just now suddenly appeared a faint gap!

Even if he is as calm as him, he can't help but gasp.

You must know that the guards in his palace are not using the standard long swords in the army, but the best long swords in Great Qin, all of which are forged by the top sword casting masters in Great Qin, and when they are put outside, they can already be called divine weapons.

That's it, it's not as good as the iron sword in front of you!

If you collide with the enemy's weapon on the battlefield, you are afraid that you will be able to cut off the weapon in the enemy's hand with a few slashes?

"How much does this long sword cost?"

The First Emperor felt that such a long sword, even if the cost was higher than that of a bronze long sword, was worth a try in the army.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have repeatedly calculated, to build such a long sword, from iron smelting to forging, the cost of all adds up, probably less than one-third of the ordinary bronze long sword......"

"Less than thirty percent of ordinary bronze swords!"

The First Emperor couldn't help but gasp, then suddenly lowered his head and looked at the cold light of the long sword in his hand.

"Really!"

"Don't dare to hide it from Your Majesty—"

Zhuo Pei's somewhat obese face was full of pride.

"Actually, mainly because of the beginning, our forging process is not perfect, according to the original estimation of His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson, the technology will mature in the future, and the cost of this kind of long sword should be controlled within two percent of the ordinary bronze long sword......

The First Emperor subconsciously glanced at Hei.

They all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Not to mention that the cost is so cheap, in fact, even if it is slightly more expensive than the bronze sword, it is completely within the acceptable range of the imperial court, because once this kind of long sword is used, it not only means that Daqin has another kind of divine weapon, but also means that a large amount of bronze can be freed up. With the continuous flow of silver from overseas by the fourth prince Gao, Daqin can completely get rid of the shortcomings of lack of bronze from now on!

The impact is far-reaching!

In order to further verify the performance of this long sword, the First Emperor had people test the sword's chopping ability, piercing ability, and strength and toughness.

The result is that it beats the bronze!

The First Emperor also asked people to conduct repeated tests on the set of Ming Guang Kai that seemed to have good defensive performance, and the result also made him happy, this set of armor was obviously better than the traditional armor of Great Qin.

The First Emperor couldn't help but feel good, and looked at Zhuo Pei with an excited face with a smile.

"Very good, you have made a meritorious contribution to the long sword this time, I am very satisfied, and I specially named you as a cast iron envoy, and you are allowed to operate iron affairs, enter the five doctors, and give you a mansion for you to settle in Xianyang......"

Zhuo Pei's excited faces lit up.

"Thank you, Your Majesty! But the minister does not dare to be greedy for the merits of the sky, these long swords are from the hands of His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun, if there is no guidance from the Emperor Eldest Sun, Wei Chen and others, even if they want to break their heads, they can't imagine that the world has such a magical technique of turning iron into gold, let alone forging these divine weapons in front of them......"

Looking at Zhuo Pei, who was struggling to bend down to say goodbye, the First Emperor couldn't help laughing.

"Forget it, you're obese and have difficulty moving, so you don't need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness—"

Although the First Emperor said that he didn't have to be polite, Zhuo Pei still bowed hard and did enough courtesy.

The First Emperor didn't care about him, and nodded with a smile.

"On the emperor's eldest grandson's side, I will naturally have a reward, but I will not turn a blind eye to the merits of you and a few stewards, you have merit, and I will naturally be rewarded-"

As he spoke, he looked at the "Detailed Explanation of Stainless Steel Forging Method and Salt Water Quenching Method" brought by Zhuo Pei with great interest, and couldn't help but be amazed by the techniques recorded above.

Zhuo Pei was on the side, introducing the situation at that time.

"At that time, Weichen and others asked their craftsmen to follow the suggestions of the emperor's eldest grandson, and tried and tested, and sure enough, they forged a long sword with enough toughness and strength, the ratio and temperature of salt water, and Weichen and others have made detailed records......

The First Emperor nodded slightly.

While flipping through it, I asked in detail about some specific details.

I feel incredible about the whimsy of my eldest grandson.

"This stinky boy, I don't know how many good things I've done without telling me!"

The First Emperor couldn't put it down and played with the long sword in his hand, while complaining to the black manager on the side, and said with a black smile.

"Your Highness is always like this, and the ministers are used to it......"

The First Emperor was stunned for a moment, but then couldn't help laughing.

waited for the laughter to fall, then turned his head to look at Zhuo Pei on the side.

"When your Highness taught you, did you name this sword and armor......

Zhuo Pei saw the first emperor asking, so he bowed and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness said at the beginning, this kind of long sword, different from the traditional long sword, the sword body is straight, the middle is not a, and it has both chopping and chopping, comparable to the axe, when it is called a knife, it is called a Qin horizontal knife, and the armor is bright as a mirror under the sun, and it should be a bright light armor......"

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but recite it silently in his mouth, and couldn't help but nod.

"Good name, that's Qin Hengdao, Mingguang Armor!" (End of chapter)
