"A pair of white camels in the Western Regions, a jade Buddha, 700 large arscallops in the Western Regions, four pairs of luminous cups and luminous bowls, 26 bottles of grape wine in Yelan Country, a pair of long-haired four-horned deer males and females of the strange beasts of the Great Snow Mountain, a pair of Western Habs blazing fire armor, and a sword of the Grand Duke of Milia......"

The cicadas chirped one after another in the courtyard, and with Zheng He's slow talking, Su Chen, who was listening with his hands in front of him, suddenly stopped, opened his face slightly, and interrupted the sound of Zheng He reading the list behind.

"Duke Zheng, you just read about the West?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, it says a pair of Western Habs blazing armor, and a sword of Archduke Milia."

"Show me."

The two teams of soldiers in charge of guarding the gate saw Su Chen and several generals in the army striding forward, clenched their long soldiers, straightened their chests and waists, and looked straight ahead like a knife.

"Then give it a try." Su Chen didn't talk much nonsense, "The most important thing I need here is a death row prisoner, Zheng Dugong, I bother you to make a trip." ”

The western long sword on the weapon rack was the same as Su Chen's Xia Wang sword, it belonged to a two-handed big sword, the weight in the hand was quite heavy, the sword surface was wide and flat, there was a blood groove in the middle, the left and right sides of the swallow were sharp and slender, and the middle position was carved like an eye-like ruby.

"Speaking of loving beauty, when will Meng Qi marry another wife?" Lu Bu looked sideways from the front and asked casually.

"You ...... this"

"Let's go, let's go over and see how people make iron!" It was the first time that Lu Bu and the others had seen this method of forging iron, so they followed Su Chen to the backyard.

After speaking, Su Chen returned to the imperial study with the list, Dian Wei and Xu Chu stood on both sides of the door, Zheng He followed the Son of Heaven straight into the inside, and poured tea for Su Chen intimately.

The sky is slanting in the west.

"You brought me...... What are you going to do......"

……

As he spoke, he pointed to the furnace not far in front of him, "I want to see you forging meteorite iron now, so I will use these sixty-five catties to fight a new sword for me." ”

This armor is completely different from the style of Great Xia, the whole is made of pieces of iron spliced, polished and shiny, with golden patterns on it, the armor coverage rate is extremely high, and the fingers are wrapped in it.

But in the current world, such a sword can only be said to be an embroidered pillow, and it is useless.

beckoned the craftsman to drag the man to the stove, and a moment later, this huge furnace, the flames hunted wildly, and the heat wave made everyone seven or eight steps away feel that their skin and flesh were burned by the fire wave.

Su Chen was not the kind of emperor who would ask people for their guilt if he disagreed, and he was enlightened to let the craftsman general who knelt on the ground get up and speak, and the latter hurriedly walked to the stove.

From the perspective of later generations, it can be regarded as a handicraft.

Since the extraterrestrial meteorite was brought back to the north and handed over to the craftsman as a prison, he has not asked again, and now some time has passed, and I don't know if the meteorite has been mined and whether it has been smelted into usable metal.

Strands of blood also splattered out from the bursting belly, spilling on the meteoric iron, and the iron that was still pitch black gradually turned fiery red at this moment.

"Your Majesty......"

"Your Majesty, do you want to see the weapons and crafts of the West?"

Walking by this side, I saw several stoves still burning on the fire, and around them, there were patrolling soldiers, wearing leather armor and carrying spears.

At this time, a blacksmith next to him suddenly whispered: "Your Majesty...... There is a soil method here for the small one, I don't know if it can be used. ”

Further inside, the wall becomes thick and tall, and you can see many scribes and officials in the craftsman's workshop coming in and out.

Out of the study, Zheng He happily went to prepare the carriage first, and soon, the group quietly left the imperial city, picked up the street with few people and went straight to the craftsman's workshop in the northern suburbs.

"Meteorite iron is incomparably harder, much harder than ordinary swords, before Your Majesty came, the ministers and a few blacksmiths with the best skills had tried several times, but they couldn't burn it red."

The hot summer breeze whistling through the smoke-filled craftsman's mansions.

A heart-rending scream instantly came from the furnace, Toyotomi Hideyoshi was thrown into the furnace, and as soon as the prison uniform touched the fiery coal, a fire instantly ignited, and he rolled wildly in it, and the beard, hair, skin and flesh on his face burned visibly to the naked eye.

After a short time, several guards came in from outside, and the eunuch at the door left the door of the study completely open, and several guards brought in a set of heavy armor, along with a large sword that was placed on a shelf.

The oozing grease 'sizzles'.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei looked back at him: "What are you doing with my brother?!" ”

"This little dirt method is a little cruel...... It's just needed...... Blood Sacrifice. ”

He narrowed his eyes, and his heroic voice fell in the wind.

In the next second, in the voice of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's pleading, he was set up by the officials, and under Su Chen's nodding and promise, the two officials were ruthless and threw the erected widows directly into the open opening of the stove.

The craftsman general stepped forward and introduced to Su Chen: "Your Majesty, this is the stripped meteorite iron, which is only enough to forge a few knives. ”

The finger that was placed on the meteoric iron was withdrawn, and Su Chen looked at the blacksmith who spoke with some surprise, the other party had dark skin and a thick body, especially a pair of arms, with knotted muscles, full of explosive strength.

"If that's the case, I won't be able to see what I want to see."

"Your Majesty, if the Western countries have such armor and weapons, there is nothing to worry about."

While walking inside, he said to Su Chen in front of him, and at the same time explained to Lu Bu and others, looking like a master craftsman.

"It's not close...... It's just a little bit ...... It must be a success! ”

This place is different from the forging workshop that Su Chen had seen before, the front yard is like an ordinary person's residence, clean and quiet, but there is a lot of smoke and fire in the air.

The craftsman walked up the stone steps with his footsteps, followed Su Chen, and after entering the mansion, the sound of striking iron and chiseling stones faintly penetrated.

I didn't think that as soon as I arrived here and got out of the carriage, I saw Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, Guan Yu, Ma Chao, and Zhao Yun also here.

"No courtesy."

The blacksmith looked at the master over there, and when he saw that the latter had no objection, he took a deep breath.

"It's rare to see the famous overlord of Western Chu...... So eager to do one thing. Ma Chao walked behind in a joking tone, "....... Sure enough, we martial artists are all the same, we love weapons and beauties. ”

"What, what's the problem?"

Su Chen waved his hand and asked the guards to take these two things out, and invited Zheng He to go to the craftsman's workshop in the northern suburbs of Yanjing to have a look.

Both sides burst into laughter.

"Now?" Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, the general's face showed a hint of hesitation, obviously it was not easy to get this meteorite.

It was Toyotomi Hideyoshi, one of the daimyo who went to Yanjing, who was thrown into the prison after coming here to parade through the streets, and was tortured by the cell boss every day.

"Your Majesty, it's better to come with the little one!"

This is basically the place where the artifacts in the army are forged, and Su Chen wants to know the place where the meteorite is made, and it is still in the innermost part of the craftsman's workshop, close to the place where the firearms are forged.

When Xiang Yu and the others saw Su Chen, they also laughed: "I thought of a place with Your Majesty." ”

"Your Majesty...... Do you want to engrave? "After the two methods of charcoal infiltration and soil covering, it is necessary to continue forging, but now that the sword has begun to take shape, and the characteristics of meteorite iron are extremely hard, it is the best time to engrave on it at this moment.

“…… Bring the Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi here, and he is just needed here. ”

Immediately, Su Chen took Xiang Yu, Lu Bu, Guan Yu and other generals in the army into the workshop area where craftsmen gathered.

Su Chen's voice was loud and powerful, and he raised his hand casually, Zheng He left immediately, out of here, and soon after, when he came back, he was followed by two fans from the Detective Factory, and the two of them were carrying a short figure of a person who was not a person and a ghost.

2605: F 700: 43: 6000:: 68c

Blood sacrifices?

Su Chen was stunned for a moment, Lu Bu, Xiang Yu, Zhang Fei, Guan Yu and others were also stunned, and the blacksmith hurriedly said: "There is no way to do ordinary forging, maybe you can give it a try." ”

Your Majesty also knows that we have never had the experience of forging meteorite iron, and that meteorites have too many useless rocks, which are extremely hard and have no other purpose. ”

Su Chen took a sip of tea, looked at the list of tributes in his hand, and pondered his words for a moment: "It shouldn't be ordinary to let the people of the Western Regions send it as a tribute." From the craftsmanship of the opponent's weapons and armor, you can see the forging level of the Western side, and thus the strength of the army. ”

Su Chen looked at the sword blank surrounded by fireworks, slowly stretched out his hand, took the carving knife handed by the blacksmith, a cool breeze blew, he looked at the sword body and was silent for a while, and then the carving knife was against the sword body, and the piercing metal friction sound sounded one after another.

"I'm still worried, these things can't be said to be just for the royal family's honor guard." Su Chen looked at it for a while, and then lost interest, flashy things had no value at all in his eyes.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

took a handful, the knife embryo that had just been punched, the baby seemed to be held in the palm of his hand, and under the gaze of Dian Wei, he carefully lifted it.

Su Chen looked at him and motioned for the other party to continue.

At this time, the craftsman with a focused expression did not notice that outside the workshop house, the Son of Heaven walked through the road with several generals, and glanced at the large and small workshops on both sides from time to time.

"Send someone to fetch that armor and weapon and send them to my study."

"The Emperor of Xia Kingdom, Toyotomi Hideyoshi is willing to surrender and be a cow and a horse for you!"

"Let me go...... I'm a daimyo...... Persons with status...... Emperor Xia, you can't kill me like this! ”

“…… A little bit of meteorite was obtained, and only a little meteorite was made, which was done by many forging methods.

"Speaking of forging, I don't know how the extraterrestrial meteorite is doing, how about going and seeing?"

"What's the difficulty?" Guan Yu couldn't help but speak, to be honest, who doesn't want to take a weapon made of stars in the sky?

"I know your difficulties, after all, meteoric iron is definitely different from ordinary iron. Get up, I don't blame you, but if there is a problem, you can tell me now. ”

Su Chen walked to the front, stopped in front of a surging mansion, and looked at the towering flagpole inside, and the white dragon flag above was waving in the wind.

"Sixty-five pounds."

"Ahhh

“…… What happened to the meteorite? With that, Su Chen walked up the stone steps and stepped into the threshold.

“.…… There are many people here, and meteorites outside the sky are rare things, not to mention that it is not safe to put here, and it will affect many craftsmen here, if there is something wrong with the body, the progress of the army's weapons will be slowed down. ”

Woo Woo Woo –

"The craftsmanship of armor making is amazing. It shows that their craftsmanship is not weak, and the army is not much worse. And this sword......"

"Bellows faster!" The blacksmith's face flushed, deaf to the screams coming from the furnace, and he kept urging the two apprentices to speed up.

"You don't need to be a cow or a horse, just make a weapon for me!" Su Chen couldn't wait to see the blood sacrifice forging knife method, and he didn't bother to take a look at the widow kneeling in front of him.

Immediately, Su Chen nodded: "These sixty-five catties are really commendable." ”

"Such armor seems to have extremely high defense, but with one board and one eye, there is no buffered chain mail and overlapping fish scales, and it cannot achieve the effect of unloading."

“…… Your Majesty, the general knife is constantly heated, broken and forged, impurities are removed, charcoal is infiltrated, and finally the knife embryo is formed. As he spoke, he suddenly slashed out a knife, and slashed at the meteorite over there, and the moment the sparks splashed, the blade directly broke into two halves.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi's eyes were red and swollen, his face was pale, his lips trembled as he looked at the people around him, and his prison clothes were in tatters.

Over there, meteorite was pushed into the stone slab, and the two apprentices kept pushing the bellows, and all kinds of combustion-supporting things were added to it.

And Toyotomi Hideyoshi in the furnace curled up as a charred corpse.

There is a larger wrought iron furnace here, which looks like it was used to strip meteorite from the past.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi let go of his voice and shouted, after all, his strength was much greater than that of ordinary people in this world, after squeezing the two servants apart, he rushed to Su Chen, who was striding over, staring at each other with his eyes, and then ...... With a thud, he fell to his knees.

Zheng He only glanced at it, and then made a set tone: "If you smash it with a hammer, you will be injured if you don't die." However, the Westerners of this world are tall. ”

The clanging sound of striking iron was endless, and blacksmiths and apprentices were bare-chested, busy fanning the fire and forging, and sweat splashed down their shaking muscles.

The craftsman stretched out his hand and gestured five fingers: "Five thousand catties of meteorite blocks." ”

"How many meteorites are there?"

Xiang Yu has been guarding this thing since the meteorite was transported back to Yanjing, and after coming here a few times, he knows everything about the grass and trees in the craftsman's workshop.

His excited lips trembled, and his words became a little incoherent, and finally, after seeing that the meteorite was completely red, regardless of the fire waves, the blacksmith pulled out the stone slab with pliers, clamped the meteorite on it to the anvil, and while fixing the meteorite, he picked up the hammer and beat it wildly, and the two apprentices also hurried to help.

"Uh...... More on that later. Ma Chao waved his hand indifferently, "The two generals Guan and Zhang don't have any ideas yet." ”

When it came to the blood sacrifice, Su Chen directly thought of the cadre Mo Ye, and since he wanted to do this, he thought of a waste utility.

But it's good to think that you can forge meteoric iron.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, the master craftsman suddenly knelt on the ground, "...... The minister didn't mean to deceive His Majesty, but he didn't hide it, and it was a little difficult for this meteorite to build a weapon at this moment. ”

Hearing the answer, Su Chen frowned, this is not counting the cost of other things.

Su Chen walked past them and entered a stove near the atrium, where he saw a black piece of iron on a tray.

Su Chen took the list of tributes presented by the envoy from the Western Regions, and sure enough, he found the Western armor and weapons that Zheng He had just talked about.

The three of them went back and forth hundreds of times, knocking the original lump of meteorite iron into a long strip, and then put it into the furnace again to be calcined, and after several back and forth, they finally had the shape of a sword blank.

"Westerners...... I guess it's going to be very good. Zheng He nodded slightly, but his tone was a little excited.

While Zhao Yun was snickering on the side, everyone had come to the back of the craftsman's workshop, and the craftsman general also received a report from his subordinates at this time, and hurried to greet him.

"Well, there's always a comparison."

If you can't burn red and soft, it means you can't forge it.

"Hmm."

At this time, the fire in the furnace was burning vigorously, and the apprentice who came first had already sent the meteorite into the furnace, and Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who was being held by the officials, seemed to have a premonition of something, and kept struggling and roaring.

"How many meteorites were used?"

“…… Soon you will know, make the best use of everything, you have eaten a lot of food in Daxia in prison, and you should pay something. Su Chen glanced at Toyotomi Hideyoshi, didn't have much desire to talk to him, his eyes fell on the blacksmith opposite, the latter nodded in understanding, and quickly recruited two apprentices, and while moving the meteorite away, there were also officials who stepped forward and dragged Toyotomi Hideyoshi up from the ground.

"There's no other way?" Su Chen stretched out his hand and put it on the meteoric iron, his fingertips touched it, and there was a cold feeling, such a good thing, there was no way to forge it, which made him a little unwilling: "There is really no other way?" ”

"Your Majesty came to the craftsman's workshop, why don't you send someone over first, so that the humble post can meet you earlier."

Su Chen nodded in agreement, and carefully examined this armor, he can be regarded as an emperor on horseback, and he still has the ability to distinguish between armor.

"The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, the instrument of the emperor, is like a popular grass, and it dominates Kyushu."

The sixteen seal characters are vigorous and powerful, and every stroke is like a sword full of sharpness.
