Chapter 184: This Thing... Hard

I saw that with the slow rotation of the waterwheel, the forging hammer, which originally weighed thousands of catties, was slowly pulled up.

As the waterwheel turned faster and faster, the iron chain tied to the waterwheel was driven, stretched back and forth, and the thousand-pound forging hammer also began to reciprocate.

"Boom... Boom... Knock ......"

The hammer rose again and again, then fell and smashed against the forge with a loud and dull sound.

Looking at this slow, but rhythmic impact, each impact weighs tens of thousands of catties, which is much stronger than manpower.

The old blacksmiths were completely dumbfounded by the scene in front of them, they couldn't believe that there could be such a thing.

"Look here!"

As Zhou Yang spoke, he pointed to the chicken next to him, an iron rod, and the end of each iron rod was connected to an iron chain.

"You can use these irons to adjust the strength and speed of the hammer, like this."

Zhou Yang pulled one of the iron rods as he spoke, only to see that the forging hammer, which was originally running slowly, suddenly became extremely fast.

And when it falls, the force is even greater!

With such great strength, forging the steel that was practiced yesterday was simply a breeze.

"Time is in a hurry, I just made such the largest giant forge table and forging hammer like this."

"Next, you can make some smaller ones according to your own requirements, after all, the strength of forging is also required."

"I've already left here for the drawings, you can figure it out for yourself."

For what Zhou Yang said, those old blacksmiths also listened mechanically, but their eyes were all looking at the giant forging hammer in front of them at this time.

This kind of thing is simply an unparalleled magic weapon for them.

As long as they have these things, it doesn't matter if they don't have the strength to strike iron.

With these hammers in their hands, it's easy to create what they want, which is great news for them.

"Your Highness, you are really at a good time!"

The old craftsman looked at Zhou Yang with an excited look on his face.

This kind of stuff is really useful for them, although there are some details that they still need to hammer and hammer out themselves.

But there is no pressure on them at all, the most important areas have been solved, and there are no other problems.

"You don't have to praise me, but I have solved such a big problem for you, and there must be more important tasks to be entrusted to you."

Zhou Yang said with a smile.

Hearing Zhou Yang say this, the old craftsman's face suddenly showed a solemn look.

They all attach great importance to Zhou Yang's arrangement.

Especially now, Zhou Yang helped them solve the most troublesome link, and he also practiced such hard steel.

With such a divine weapon and such a rare raw material, they naturally want to make good use of it.

Before, Zhou Yang took out a drawing and put it in front of these craftsmen.

"The next thing I need you to build for me is this!"

Those blacksmiths all came to Zhou Yang's face, and looked carefully at the drawings in front of them, their faces showing strange looks.

I saw that on this drawing, it was just a cylindrical iron rod.

Spending so much effort just to create an iron rod? Some of them underestimate their fellows!

"Your Highness, you're not joking with us, are you?"

"It's something like that, we can just make it, and it's round enough to be straight enough."

The old craftsman patted his chest and assured Zhou Yang very confidently.

The other craftsmen had the same expression on their faces.

In their eyes, this kind of thing is just the most basic thing for them.

Not to mention them, even a casual junior apprentice under them can build it.

Zhou Yang looked at the expressions on everyone's faces, and he also smiled meaningfully.

"Don't worry, there's this second one!"

As he spoke, Zhou Yang took out another drawing and placed it there.

The difference from the first one is that there is already a hole in the middle of the round iron rod on the second drawing, which is to make a round hollow iron rod.

Seeing such a thing, although these old craftsmen were stunned for a moment, they did not have any embarrassed look on their faces.

"Your Highness, although such a thing is difficult, it is not impossible for us to do it."

"If Your Highness needs it, you only need to give us one night to be able to make such a hollow iron rod."

This time the old blacksmiths were not as disdainful as they had just been, but they were not frightened either.

"It's good, it's good to have that kind of confidence!"

"But that's just the beginning, and the most important thing is this last one."

As he spoke, Zhou Yang put the last drawing in front of these old craftsmen.

After Zhou Yang took out the drawings, these old craftsmen couldn't wait to get in front of Zhou Yang.

But this time, after they saw the things on the drawing, they were all dumbfounded, and their faces showed incredible looks.

"This ......"

The craftsmen all had embarrassed expressions on their faces.

There is no longer the confidence just now, and everyone looks at each other.

It's as if someone is trying to make things difficult for them.

"Guys, that's what I need the most next, and it's something that's extremely important to me."

"I need you to do your best to make this thing in the shortest possible time."

Zhou Yang still said seriously and looked at these old blacksmiths.

Now the old blacksmiths had a hesitant look on their faces.

"Your Highness, you're not kidding, are you?"

The old blacksmith at the head said cautiously.

"This kind of thing, even if we try our best, we may not be able to make it!"

"It's easy to make an iron rod, but it's possible to make a hollow iron rod with a lot of effort, but ......"

"But the fact that you are asking for this kind of spiral pattern to be carved in this iron rod is probably extremely difficult."

"And the diameter of the hole inside this iron rod is still so small, if you want to make it, the difficulty is not ordinary, and the time required must be very long!"

It was also the first time that Zhou Yang had seen such an unconfident expression on the old blacksmith's face.
