Chapter 246 [Unexpected Change] (2-in-1)
(2-in-1, 6,000 words chapter!)
When Chen Daolin first saw this first master craftsman in the empire, he was also very surprised.
This Master Kang looked thin and small, and he didn't have the momentum of a first-generation master all over his body.
What surprised Chen Daolin the most was that he saw this old man's right hand - there were only three fingers left!
The thumb and little finger of his right hand were cut off at the same root!
Such an empire's number one swordsmith is actually a person with a disabled palm?!
And the first craftsman in this empire almost dragged Chen Daolin into his house along the way.
Walking through the door and crossing the shop to the back field, Chen Daolin saw more than a dozen hardcover young men in the back workshop, some of them were shirtless, carrying hammers and knives and other tools in their hands, and some were busy by the stove.
Master Kang dragged Chen Daolin all the way directly into a room, and before Chen Daolin sat down, he threw a short sword directly in front of Chen Daolin, with a fanatical look on his face: "Say it quickly......! No, how the hell is this material made!"
......
The thing that Chen Daolin used to impress this Master Kang was not unusual, it was the last short sword that he had left in his hand that was brought in from the real world.
This sword is made with modern craftsmanship, not to mention. The main thing is the material!
The steel quality produced by the modern steelmaking method is naturally much stronger than that of the cold weapon era.
Of course, if you want to make a blowing converter in the world of cold weapons in the Roland Empire and then copy the modern steelmaking process, Chen Daolin naturally has no ability to do this kind of thing. Not to mention blowing the converter, he can't even make an open-hearth!
However, he has another killer weapon to deal with this Master Kang.
After coming to the Roland Empire, Chen Daolin learned about it for a period of time, and learned from Angulo, the largest ordnance and weapons supplier in the empire. Chen Daolin can probably tell. The steelmaking technology of the entire Roland Empire is probably still in the process of using the steel frying method.
The so-called best weapons of this era are to use the method of frying steel to make steel, and then to make the so-called "100 steel" by folding and forging, which is very costly and cannot be used in the large-scale equipment of the army, and the process of 100 steel is not stable, and the material may not be very ideal.
The bait that Chen Daolin took out to catch Master Kang was......
"This is something I gave you. ”
Chen Daolin smiled. From his bosom he took out a thin stack of pamphlets—the ones he had written in Roland script in the Academy of Magic these days.
Before Chen Daolin's second crossing, he made a lot of full preparations, thanks to the countless travel novels and film and television works he had read, and Chen Daolin's preparations were varied.
Especially when he brought a few weapons made of modern technology, Chen Daolin had an idea. I also spent some time trying to understand some knowledge of the steelmaking metallurgical process.
Coming to an era of cold weapons, these preparations will definitely come in handy in the future.
Master Kang opened the booklet and saw a title on it:
Steel-filled method.
......
Master Kang only glanced at it, and suddenly a solemn expression appeared on his face, and he read it down in one breath, but he didn't have time to pay attention to Chen Daolin. It seems that he has forgotten the surrounding qiē, and only hangs Chen Daolin there.
Chen Daolin was not surprised at all, and let the old man be there in a daze with his booklet, but he took a look in the room.
This house is probably Master Kang's own residence.
The furnishings in the room were ordinary. There is no luxury in it, and it even looks very cold and shabby. There is a cold and hard metallic feeling everywhere.
There were several strong bows hanging on the walls, as well as some knives, axes, shields. There are also several long and short swords of different shapes on the shelves in the corner.
But Chen Daolin was most interested. But there was a bookshelf in the room, and he walked over. At a glance, I saw a roll of drawings spread out.
This drawing is very exquisite, with sharp weapons and swords, various colors of armor, light armor and heavy armor, and even some battering rams and other war weapons.
The various drawings add up, which is as thick as a book, and it seems that they are all drawn by this Master Kang himself, and when he holds it in his hand, there is a strong smell of ink wafting from the album.
Chen Daolin roughly flipped through a few pages, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he saw something familiar on a drawing.
"Huh, the lack of moon and five light armor?"
Chen Daolin smiled.
This drawing completely replicates the shape of the Missing Moon Five Light Armor.
However, after all, Master Kang had not really studied the real thing, so he could only copy this set of legendary artifacts from the appearance from various patterns that had been handed down - but the appearance was exactly the same.
But the most difficult part of replicating such a set of armor is not the appearance, but many other aspects.
For example, the thickness of the cuirass and some special places, the weight of the parts, the tightness of the joints.
On top of that, the True Missing Moon Five Light Armor is a genuine artifact with magical abilities.
And Master Kang is a pure expert in cold weapons and weapons, if he simply copies a set of armor without the moon and five lights, it is not realistic, because magic equipment must be specially designed in some places, and some designs will weaken the defense of the armor if it is purely based on the standards of cold weapons, but if it is added with magic effects, it will be very different.
Obviously, this Master Kang has spent a lot of thought on the Missing Moon Five Light Armor, and has put a lot of thought into many details, such as the thickness of the breastplate, some of the patterns on the original version may be magic patterns, but since the copy version has no magic attributes, then the retention of these patterns needs to make some changes, otherwise, the pattern is hollowed out too much, which will make the armor become fragile.
There are also those inverted blades on the shoulder and arm guards, the original armor is said to be Du Wei has a special set of martial arts to match this set of armor, if you can copy the version, keep these inverted blades, if there is no corresponding martial arts to match, it will make the person wearing the armor at a loss, and these inverted blades will affect their own actions.
Chen Daolin saw it under the drawings. Master Kang also left a lot of notes......
One old and one young are in this room, you look at yours, I look at mine, ignore each other.
After a long time, Hu Ke, who was waiting outside the door, became more and more anxious, and couldn't help but push the door and walked into the door, and when he entered the door, he saw Chen Daolin in a daze at a pile of drawings, and couldn't help but whisper: "Sir!"
"Huh?" Chen Daolin raised his head and put down the drawings.
"It's not early. Hook coughed.
"Oh. Good. ”
Chen Daolin reluctantly glanced at these drawings, and then walked in front of Master Kang.
At this moment, the old man had come back to his senses, but his brows were furrowed, and he picked up the sword that Chen Daolin gave him again. Being in a daze.
"You say...... Can this steel-filling method really make such steel?"
Master Kang suddenly asked.
"I don't know. Chen Daolin smiled: "But I can guarantee that the steel made by this method should be better than the current steel, and ...... The production is also more. ”
Chen Daolin smiled easily.
He was not unreserved, and the few pages of the booklet he gave to Master Kang were not the whole content of the steel filling method. Instead, he deliberately handed over the catalog and a little bit of content to Master Kang.
I believe that with the level of this swordsmith, he should be a person who knows the goods.
And then, if this old man wants to get all the steel filling methods, he has to negotiate terms with himself.
"What you said above. The trapping method, the covering method, and the pouring method are all true?"
"Of course it's true. Chen Daolin smiled.
"And this clamp of steel. The idea of Baotou Steel also intrigued me......"
"The statement about the stove. Single-room, two-room, tandem ......"
"And this ......"
The old man seemed to be impatient, and asked many things in the booklet he had seen that were not clearly described.
But he said for a long time, but Chen Daolin just stood in front of him and smiled silently.
Master Kang gradually calmed down, and looking at Chen Daolin's appearance, he immediately understood what the other party meant.
"Okay, you say, what do you want? Master Kang sighed.
"I just said outside the door that I want to buy your shop. Chen Daolin smiled.
At this time, Master Kang showed a strange smile on his face: "My shop pù is not worth a few dollars. As you should be aware, it's nothing more than an empty house and a second-rate workshop. ”
"Of course I know that the house and the land are not worth much. The real wealth of this shop is your Master Kang himself. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't even bother to take a look at this shop even if it was given to me. Chen Daolin smiled faintly.
"So...... You mean, you want to enqueet me to work for you?" Master Kang smiled. At this moment, he seemed to show the city of several generations of grandmasters, and glanced at Chen Daolin: "You have a big appetite. You know, over the years, I don't know how many people have walked through this door and offered all kinds of conditions to woo me? Even the Tulip family has approached me at least three times, and each time the price is ......."
"I can't afford to pay for them. Chen Daolin interrupted Master Kang's words, and said with an honest smile: "The Tulip family is rich in the world, and I can't do the price they offer." However, I believe that Your Excellency should not be a person who is short of money, otherwise, you would have followed the Tulip family and would not have stayed on this gold street. ”
Master Kang was silent.
"There's not much I can give you, the most important thing is in your hands. Chen Daolin's tone was full of confidence.
Master Kang nodded: "You can see it very accurately, young man! The conditions you offered are exactly what I want." ”
After a pause, he frowned and looked at Chen Daolin: "Then what do you need me to do for you?
The old man's eyes were puzzled, and he glanced at the short sword that Chen Daolin brought from the real world on the table: "You already have such a sharp weapon, and you also have the steel-making method written in this booklet...... What's the use of still needing my old man? You know, the most important thing in casting is steelmaking! As long as you can make good steel, what can't you make? You don't need my old man at all, as long as you can make such good steel, just find a third-rate swordsmith, and you can make the equipment you want. ”
"Don't worry, I won't trade at a loss. Chen Daolin smiled.
Then, he looked at Master Kang and solemnly put forward his conditions:
"I bought your weapon shop, and your Kang family's weapon shop was merged into my Wushuang Fang, and there will be no more zài from now on. And you, Master Kang himself. You have to work for me for five years in Wushuang Fang...... In exchange, I will hand you the entire content of the steel filling method written in the booklet in your hand. And also...... Your treatment in Wushuang Fang is doubled according to the standard of a first-class swordsmith of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce. In addition, your disciples, your apprentices, and those who wish to come can come. I don't mind having a group of people with great experience and skills. The treatment is in accordance with the standards of the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce. And ......"
"Needless to say. Master Kang smiled bitterly: "I just said it...... As long as you give me this steel-making method, don't say that you want my shop, my life. It's all for you!just ......."
The old man's expression suddenly moved, staring at Chen Daolin's eyes: "Aren't you afraid, after my old man learned your steelmaking technique, he patted his ass and left......?" If your steelmaking technique is true, then it will be enough to enrich all generations! The rest of the Empire's blacksmith shops and weapons chambers are going to close! Unless they all come to learn your steel-filling method! Don't you be afraid, my old man will take your steel-filling method to other houses? When the time comes, your skills will be leaked......
"Hahahahaha
Chen Daolin raised his head and laughed, he laughed for a while, and then looked at Master Kang: "What do you think I am going to do when I come up with this steel filling method? Let you make good steel, create a batch of peerless good swords, and then buy 100,200,000 gold coins each." In the hands of the royal family and nobles, he made a lot of money, and at the same time he kept the secret method of steelmaking and refused to pass it on, and counted gold coins at home every day behind closed doors to play?"
Speaking of this, Chen Daolin's face changed. He shouted proudly: "I don't have the intention of cherishing myself with a broom at all! This kind of wonderful method is used to send a person and a family, and it is simply a tyrannical thing! This kind of magic method." It is a sharp weapon for strengthening the country! It can raise a country's national strength by a large margin! I have no intention of keeping this steel filling method secret, and I will only leave it to you to study. Once you get it out, I'll make it public!!"
"You ......" Master Kang's eyes flashed, and his face was full of enthusiasm and excitement: "You...... Do you want everyone in my Roland Empire's hundreds of thousands of troops to be able to use such a sharp weapon?!"
"Wrong!!"
Chen Daolin laughed: "What kind of ability is it just to popularize the army! What I want is to let the kitchen knives used in the homes of tens of millions of people in the Roland Empire be of this kind of good steel!!"
Poof!
The old man's legs were weak, and he sat directly on the chair, staring at Chen Daolin dumbfounded, unable to say a word for a long time.
......
Of course, Chen Daolin was talking big to fool this old man.
Darling Brother naturally doesn't have such a great heart and ambition - whether the Roland Empire lives or dies, it doesn't matter to him?
Lao Tzu is a citizen of the Celestial Empire!
This kind of pride and grandeur is just fooling a technical maniac like Master Kang, so that he is desperate to serve himself.
As for whether Master Kang learned the steel filling method and jumped ship......
Hum...... Chen Daolin believes that a steel filling method is enough for this old man to digest for two or three years!
And after that...... Do you want to learn the open-hearth steelmaking method? Do you want to know the converter steelmaking method?The bottom blowing method, the top blowing method......
It really didn't work, so Lao Tzu went to the real world to buy a textbook on "modern steelmaking technology", translated it into Roland, and read a chapter to the old man every day!
Just let him chase the update, and directly call him a hardcore brain-dead fan of his brother!
Want to run?
Got on my thief ship...... Ahh
......
Wushuangfang acquired Master Kang's shop, and at the same time, the news that Master Kang took his six disciples and more than 20 apprentices to work for Wushuangfang immediately spread throughout the imperial capital!
With Master Kang's reputation for forging swords in the Empire, as well as his reputation as the first craftsman in the Empire. This incident immediately attracted widespread attention.
The name Wushuangfang has also entered the people's sight along with this incident. Especially in the eyes of those aristocratic warriors who like to collect weapons, they have already developed a strong interest in this Wushuang Workshop, which has not yet officially opened and has not launched any products.
Just imagine, even the Empire's No. 1 Sword Forger is committed to it, and what this Wushuang Fang will launch in the future will definitely be extraordinary!
The Pompeii Chamber of Commerce did not deliberately keep it secret, and those who are interested will know as long as they inquire a little that the backstage boss of this "Wushuang Fang" is the Pompeii Chamber of Commerce on one side, and the other side is the young magician who publicly challenged Anthony a few days ago: Darling Chen.
Soon, the name Darling Chan once again aroused a lot of attention and interest.
His title. His identity, his origins, his talents......
Professors of the Academy of Magic, Court Mages, Court Knights, Young Magicians and many more.
And at this time, two more shocking news broke out!
First, this Darling Chan is said to be an alchemist! Even in the wizard world, they are all rare talents!
And the second thing broke out, which made the situation of one party a little embarrassing!
This young genius magician who is in the limelight has not yet obtained the official mid-level mage qualification issued by the Magic Guild!
It is said that this Darling Chan Master submitted an application for a magic level assessment in the Magic Guild a few months ago. But the Magic Guild didn't reply for a long time, nor did it arrange his magic level assessment, so it dragged this matter off!
According to the "insider", this incident is said to be related to the identity of Darling Chen's professor at the Academy of Magic. In addition, it is said that the Magical Society also intends to give Darling Chan the title of full member in the near future.
And the Magic Guild, which has always been at odds with the Magic Academy Magic Society, deliberately put Chen Daolin, the big celebrity of these two organizations, on his magician level assessment. Delayed a bit.
This incident broke out, and it immediately caused a lot of criticism!!
A dignified court mage! a dignified professor of a magic academy!
A master-level genius in potions who can independently create three new potions recipes has been stuck by the Magic Guild in the magic level assessment?!
This is simply the Magic Guild deliberately stumbling in order to fight against the Academy of Magic and the Magic Society!
At the expense of the future of a young magician who has contributed greatly to the Empire and made great achievements. to suppress their competitors, the Magic Guild's behavior has been shamed by many people!
Even many magicians talk about it in private. sympathy for Chen Daolin.
No one would think that Chen Daolin's strength is insufficient, a magician who has achieved so many achievements and titles. How could it be impossible to pass the examination?The deliberate suppression and delay of the Magic Guild, a kind of rotten and old ancient organization, the persecution of a newly promoted young genius magician!!
For a time, there were many criticisms and accusations against the Magic Guild.
Especially in terms of the Magic Academy and the Magic Guild, they all released such a voice:
If the Magic Guild is too busy to arrange the level assessment of magicians, then the academy and the society are willing to share this "heavy responsibility" for the Magic Guild.
And for a while, there were even more voices proposing: This kind of thing has been exclusively held by the Magic Guild for thousands of years, and this power has never been released, in fact, it has become the exclusive patent of the Magic Guild. Such an exclusive monopoly is no longer applicable to the current prosperity of magical civilization.
And in order to make the empire's magical civilization better developed, the magic guild should break the outdated rules and give up the exclusive power of "magic level assessment"!!
The qualification of a mage should no longer be monopolized by a single organization!
Such a topic is naturally more eye-catching than Chen Daolin's personal identity as a magician!
For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the imperial capital, and the Magic Academy and the Magic Society attacked at the same time, which greatly embarrassed the Magic Guild. And because of the issue of the ownership of power in the "Magician Level Qualification Assessment", it seems that the confrontation between the three major magic organizations has been faintly set off again......
And at this time, the Magic Guild seemed to have finally made a compromise under the pressure of public opinion.
"Your Excellency Darling Chan, I would like to reply to your request for a magic level assessment as follows: Your magic level assessment is scheduled for January 10, and you must be present at the Magic Guild headquarters on the morning of January 10. ”
When Chen Daolin received this notice, he couldn't stop sneering.
In fact, in the past few days, Chen Daolin is very clear about the criticism that his magic assessment has been delayed, and the magic academy has played a role in fueling it.
Even Dean Carmen had spoken to him personally about it. The dean of the beautiful woman has already sued Chen Daolin, even if the Magic Guild finally stumbles on him, don't worry, the Academy of Magic will definitely stand behind Chen Daolin and support him.
"If those bastards dare not give you the qualification of a magician, I will call on the Academy of Magic to pass a resolution, from now on, the graduates of the Academy of Magic will no longer participate in the magic level assessment of the Magic Guild!
Chen Daolin understood that he was used as a gun this time.
