Legendary Armament Canon Chapter 33: The road to standard weapons has come to an end
"Old Zhou, they really made it!"
Xiao Zongshui, Li Hongyuan and other apprentices under the commander let out a cheer. Sun Fairy glanced at Zhou Shu, who was still swinging his hammer, and couldn't help shouting.
Zhou Shu didn't seem to hear his voice, his expression was calm and calm, and the rhythm of the beating was not chaotic at all.
"Ding ding ding dong --"
The crisp knocking sound echoed in the courtyard.
Those apprentices who cast soldiers looked at Zhou Shu with pity on their faces.
We are all tied up, how do you win?
"crunch--"
The courtyard door was pushed open, and workshop directors such as Xiao Zongshui and Li Hongyuan filed in.
As soon as they entered the door, they all glanced in the direction of the apprentices. When they saw the successfully forged weapons in the hands of the apprentices, the corners of everyone's mouth raised slightly.
Seeing that Zhou Shu was still hammering the iron, they laughed even more happily.
"The time is up, and it seems that Mr. Zhou has not been cast yet. This is a test-"
"What nonsense! Zhu Chuanfeng hasn't come yet, are you the referee?"
Sun Fairy interrupted him angrily.
Xiao Zongshui's expression froze, and he swallowed the words in his mouth, his face flushed red.
If he wasn't afraid of Sun Fairy's identity, he would really like to greet Sun Fairy's eighteenth generation!
"Master Zhu will be here soon, so what if you wait a little longer?"
Li Hongyuan sneered, "The result is clear at a glance."
All the workshop managers laughed.
They were already thinking about how to distribute the benefits after they got the first sword of the Hundred Lian Ring.
The number of cavalry in the Daxia Huguo Army exceeds 10,000. Counting the damage, the number of Bailian ring first knives required every year is no less than 10,000.
The cost of the Hundred Lian Ring Sword is higher than that of the Tiger Ben Sword. After a year, each of them can at least share a few thousand taels of silver.
All the principals were all happy, and some of them were even thinking about whether they should get another room?
Sun Fairy was about to explode with anger, so what's the matter, these guys thought they were going to win?
"Go back to the sack for a meal!"
Sun Fairy thought to himself.
"Jingle--"
Zhou Shu's hammer fell, and then he flung it gracefully, the hammer fell to the ground, and then his wrist flicked. Before everyone could see clearly, he had stabbed the weapon in his hand into the cold oil that had been prepared for a long time.
"Stabbed—"
There was a harsh sound, accompanied by a scent of hot oil...
Xiao Zongshui, Li Hongyuan and the others looked at each other. For some unknown reason, they had a vague feeling in their hearts.
Is it possible, Zhou Shu, this kid, really forged a new standard weapon?
How is this possible?
Master Zhu Chuanfeng has said that the development of standard weapons is almost perfect, and they are at most just adding to it.
Unless more precious materials are used, the standard weapons are just like that.
Even if the boy surnamed Zhou has some talent, it is already a blessing to be able to develop the Tiger Bent Sword and the Hundred Lian Ring Head Sword, and it is impossible to forge a better standard weapon.
And the secret recipe for forging soldiers that they spent a lot of money to find this time, although the power of the weapon is not comparable to the tiger ben sword and the Bailian ring head sword, but it is also stronger than the general standard long sword.
Unless Zhou Shu forges a new weapon that is no weaker than the Tiger Ben Sabre and the Hundred Lian Ring Head Sabre, it is impossible for him to win!
"Don't worry, the standard weapons made of ordinary iron, the upper limit is there, Zhou Shu can't possibly win us!"
Xiao Zongshui whispered.
"Master Zhu is here!"
Li Hongyuan and the others just nodded when they heard shouting outside the door.
The tenth time has come, and Zhu Chuanfeng also stepped over the time.
"The time is up, are you all finished casting? Bring the things up."
After Zhu Chuanfeng took his seat, he said indifferently.
"Haha—"
Before he finished speaking, a laugh suddenly sounded.
Along with laughter, I saw a man dressed as a general walking in from the door.
"A certain passing by the Forging Division, I happened to hear that there is a forging competition here. Master Zhu wouldn't mind a certain visit?"
As soon as the general entered the door, he said with a smile.
Zhou Shu raised his head and glanced at the general.
The general looked quite old, at least in his fifties. His temples were already gray, and his forehead also had deep traces of time.
He has an ordinary appearance, but his eyes are extremely bright, with deep and distant pupils, full of vicissitudes.
Just this temperament makes Zhou Shu feel that this person is not simple.
Strangely, he felt that the general was not a powerful warrior, but more like an ordinary person.
Although it is said that Daxia also has a national protection army composed of ordinary people, this ordinary person only means that they are not qualified warriors, not that they are really ordinary people.
In fact, the soldiers of the National Defense Army will also practice martial arts, but it is only limited to their qualifications, and they have not become qualified martial artists.
Compared with ordinary people, they are still much stronger, such as Xiao Zongshui, Li Hongyuan and others, as well as the Hu Ben army who has not broken through before.
Although they are not qualified warriors, they are definitely not weak.
But the general in front of him doesn't show any martial arts cultivation.
Just as Zhou Shu was thinking about it, Zhu Chuanfeng stood up and bowed his hands respectfully.
"I didn't expect the general to be here. Zhu is disrespectful."
Zhu Chuanfeng's tone was very polite, with a hint of awe.
Xiao Zongshui and others also all stood up, not saying a word, not daring to catch a breath.
Even Sun Fairy, who has never been serious, stood there honestly and rarely interjected.
Zhou Shu was a little surprised. It seems that this old general has a very unusual identity.
"The general has such an elegant look, so Zhu naturally has no objection. The general, please sit down."
Zhu Chuanfeng said.
The old general smiled and his eyes fell on Zhou Shu.
"This is Zhou Shuzhou, the boss who developed the first sword of the Hundred Lianhuan Ring? Sure enough, he is young and promising."
Zhou Shu did not expect that he would talk to him, and said somewhat unexpectedly, "The old general has won the prize."
The old general's words made Xiao Zongshui and the others look at each other in dismay, and at the same time, their hearts groaned.
Can anyone tell us what's going on here?
How did General Meng come? He also said that Zhou Shu was young and promising, so if we beat him later, wouldn't we be hitting General Meng in the face?
All the principals felt a little bitter in their hearts. First was Da Sikong, and now it was General Meng. Are these important people idle and have nothing to do?
Why do you pay attention to such a small thing?
Usually, even the master of the workshop is not qualified to meet them.
"Originally, Her Royal Highness the Princess invited me to come to the Forging Division to take a look at the Hundred Lianhuan Shoudao, but Her Royal Highness was ordered to run errands, and I was also occupied with mundane duties, and I didn't have time until today."
"But it's a coincidence that it's such a wonderful event."
"For many years, there has been no new standard weapons from the Casting Division. Mr. Zhou has done a good job. The tiger ben sword and the Bailian ring head sword are both very good. I heard that this time you are competing to see who can forge the new style. Standard weapons, if you can send another good soldier, it will be a great thing for me, Daxia Sanjun."
Meng Bai said with a smile, sounding like he explained to everyone why he came.
However, the words also showed that he had a clear understanding of Zhou Shu and others' competition.
"It's just a small fight between the apprentices of the cast soldiers. I didn't expect to disturb General Meng." Zhu Chuanfeng smiled and said.
"My Daxia's standard weapons have developed almost perfectly. With ordinary iron materials, it is impossible to forge better standard weapons. Zhou Shu is indeed able to forge the Tiger Ben Sabre and the Hundred Lian Ring Head Sabre. Talented, but would like to have more achievements-"
Zhu Chuanfeng shook his head and said, "The general should not have expectations for standard weapons. Forging weapons is the right way. No matter how well casted standard weapons are, compared with standard weapons, they are still broken. It's just copper and iron."
"Casting soldiers together, Master Zhu, you are an expert." Meng Bai's smile remained unchanged, and he said, "Quality weapons are naturally the most important weapons of the country, but standard weapons are also the cornerstone of the country.
I think the Tiger Ben sword and the Hundred Lian Ring Head Sword are pretty good, especially the Hundred Lian Ring Head Sword. If the children of the National Protector Army cavalry can assemble it, the strength of my Daxia cavalry will be increased by one more. Cheng is out of the question. "
Sun Fairy slammed Zhou Shu with his shoulder, with a look of joy, and said to Zhou Shu with his eyes, did you hear it? As soon as General Meng said this, even if you lose this competition, you will be fine, no one dares to question your credit!
Zhou Shu replied with his eyes, will I lose?
"What the general said is reasonable. What Zhu means is that the general should not have any expectations for this competition." Zhu Chuanfeng said, "Some young people have a flash of inspiration and have achieved some trivial achievements in casting soldiers. It's normal ~IndoMTL.com~ but it's hard to say if you can become a Soldier."
"Which soldier is not an amazing talent?"
Meng Bai smiled, noncommittal.
"Let's take a look, can these guys add a little more color to Da Xia's arsenal?"
Zhu Chuanfeng nodded, "Bring up all the weapons you cast."
When the apprentices who cast soldiers heard the words, they tremblingly held the weapons they cast in front of Meng Bai and Zhu Chuanfeng.
To them, the master of the workshop is already a great figure. How could they have thought that they would be able to stand in front of the general and the master craftsman.
Seeing the weapons handed over by a group of apprentices, the pale brows wrinkled indistinctly.
Although his movements were slight, Xiao Zongshui and the others who had been watching him still noticed, and their hearts suddenly lifted.
"General, Chief Zhou is a famous genius, and we apprentices of casting soldiers can't compare to him, so the big guy is——"
Mengbai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say more.
The dozen or so apprentices who cast soldiers finally handed over two identical weapons. You don't need to ask to know that they were forged together.
"In just ten days, a new type of standard weapon can be improved. The casting division is really talented."
Meng Bai said with a half-smile, and at a glance it was clear that the weapon they forged was not a brand-new weapon, but an improvement of the original standard weapon.
This is a tricky method, and if it is a new standard weapon, it is not a bad idea.
"Mr. Zhou, what about yours?"
Meng Bai looked at Zhou Shu with some anticipation in his eyes, and said.
