Legendary Armament Canon Chapter 34: 0 steelmaking, cutting saber

"Old Zhou!"

While Zhou Shu was still in a daze, Sun Fairy tugged at his sleeve and said in a low voice.

Zhou Shu came back to his senses, he glanced at Zhu Chuanfeng, and then said, "Master Zhu, as a master craftsman, it is normal to dislike standard weapons, but you have to say that the road to standard weapons has been exhausted. I can't agree more."

"As far as I know, although Daxia's standard weapons are strong, they are of a single type. Standard long swords, standard long swords, and even bows and arrows are all the same."

"This is the standard weapon, although it is easier to cast, but for the army, it is a lost change."

"In my opinion, different military services should be equipped with different weapons, cavalry has cavalry weapons, infantry has infantry weapons, and the praetorian guards and frontier guards are different."

Mengbai nodded slightly, with admiration flashing in his eyes.

Zhu Chuanfeng snorted coldly, "You are an ignorant child, what do you know about the army?"

"Stop talking nonsense, have you ever cast a weapon? If not, then just admit defeat."

Zhou Shu didn't know if it was his own delusion. He always felt that Zhu Chuanfeng was targeting him.

But think about him being a small soldier apprentice, and he has nothing to do with a master craftsman, so he wouldn't be particularly difficult to get along with, right?

Without thinking much, Zhou Shu raised his head and pulled out the weapon immersed in the cold oil.

As soon as the weapon appeared in front of everyone, Meng Bai and Zhu Chuanfeng stood up almost at the same time.

Zhou Shu was holding a weapon that was seven feet long, with a blade three feet long and a handle four feet long.

You can feel the lethality of this weapon just by looking at it.

In this world, including Daxia and several other countries, there are long weapons in the standard weapons, but generally only spears, spears and the like.

The long-handled broadsword has also been tried by the forgers, but it is not satisfactory in all aspects.

Zhu Chuanfeng is a master of forging soldiers. Even if he doesn't get used to it, he can be sure that this big sword forged by Zhou Shu is a weapon that has never appeared in the history of Daxia!

He can even conclude that the power of this sword is not under the first sword of the Hundred Lian Ring!

"Could it be that he is really a genius of casting soldiers?"

Zhu Chuanfeng frowned.

"Show me!"

Meng Bai said solemnly, as for the weapon cast by the apprentices of Xiao Zongshui, Li Hongyuan and others, he just glanced at it and didn't even think about trying it out.

"Then, be careful!"

Zhou Shu said, and threw the long-handled sword over.

"You—"

Sun Gonggong was startled, his heart suddenly raised to his throat.

This old Zhou, if you hurt General Meng, the three armies of the Xia will not tear you apart!

Mengbai laughed, stretched out his long arm, grabbed the long handle of the big sword, and then sank his hand down, releasing the force on it.

Zhou Shu's eyebrows were raised. From beginning to end, he never used more power than ordinary people.

"What a heavy knife!"

Meng Bai opened his mouth and said, he stroked the blade with his fingers, then held the handle of the blade with both hands, and slashed a few times in the air.

"The Hundred Refinement Ring-head Sword is useful for cavalry to chop and slash on horseback. This sword can be used freely on horses and waterways."

Meng Bai said solemnly.

"The general knows the goods!"

Zhou Shu gave a thumbs up.

"However, there are also some disadvantages. The Bailian Ring Head Knife weighs seven or eight catties and is relatively easy to use. This one is more than twice as heavy as the Bailian Ring Head Knife, and requires both strength and physical strength for the user. much higher."

Zhou Shu added.

"General, can you give me a look?"

Zhu Chuanfeng said solemnly.

Meng Bai handed the long knife to Zhu Chuanfeng and smiled, "Master Zhu is tasting and tasting, but Meng thinks that this knife is indeed a new standard weapon."

Zhu Chuanfeng's expression was serious. He stroked his hands over the long knife, and a faint white light radiated from his palms.

"The biggest problem in casting such a long handle from ordinary iron is that the weapon is easy to break and break, and such long soldiers have extremely high requirements for casting skills, and ordinary casting soldiers cannot cast them at all. The casting skills of Zhou Shu this week , is it close to an ordinary soldier?"

Zhu Chuanfeng said to himself.

He raised his head and looked at Zhou Shu, "This knife is not simply made of ordinary iron, what material did you use?"

Zhu Chuanfeng's tone was full of doubts.

If you use precious casting materials to forge standard weapons, it can indeed increase the power of standard weapons a lot, but it also loses its original meaning.

Isn't it more powerful to use precious casting materials to cast finished weapons?

For standard weapons, what you want is a high quality and low price, cost-effective!

If Zhou Shu had used other materials, no matter how good the knife was, he would have lost the competition.

"Amazing!"

Zhou Shu gave a heartfelt thumbs up. Although he didn't like Zhu Chuanfeng either, he had to say that he was indeed capable.

Just by touching it with a hand, you can see the secret of this knife, and the master is well-deserved.

"Did you really add other materials?"

Meng Bai said in a deep voice, his eyes slightly disappointed.

If other materials are added, then this knife is cast in batches, but there is a problem.

If the cost is too high, it is not a standard weapon. If the cost of a standard weapon is too high, why not equip soldiers with quality weapons?

"It's understandable that you don't want to lose when you're young and energetic, but cheating—"

Zhu Chuanfeng snorted coldly.

"Master Zhu, I don't bear this pot."

Zhou Shu shook his head, "This knife is indeed not made of ordinary iron, but if you say I cheated, I don't recognize it."

"Here, even if I want to cheat, I have to have a condition. Will you give me a chance to search for other materials?"

Zhu Chuanfeng looked at the two boys he had left as a supervisor, and the boys shook their heads.

For the past ten days, they have been monitoring here, and have not seen where Zhou Shu has obtained other materials for casting soldiers.

"Mr. Zhou, what the **** is going on?"

Meng Bai said in a deep voice.

"It's actually quite simple."

Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said, "Master Zhu sees that this long knife is not made of ordinary iron. That's because I used a new casting material."

"This material is called Hundred Steel."

"Steelmaking?"

Mengbai's heart moved, and he said, "Is it related to Bailian Huan Shou Dao?"

"You can say so."

Zhou Shu nodded and explained, "The so-called Bailian is actually a casting method. I had a preliminary idea when I was casting the first sword of the Bailian ring, but it was not perfect at the time."

"In the past ten days, I have been thinking hard day and night, and finally I have further perfected the method of Hundred Refinements, so I have this Hundred Refinements."

Sun Fairy straightened his lips when he heard this. Are you thinking hard day and night?

You obviously sleep soundly day and night.

But he was also very curious. It seemed that Lao Zhou was going to win.

What about steelmaking? It sounds like it's very powerful. Could it be that Lao Zhou is really a genius like me?

Should I consider waiting for him to become a forge master before letting him help me forge finished weapons?

Sun Fairy rubbed his chin and rolled his eyes.

"Your so-called smelting of steel, is it possible that the iron material has been processed by the method of smelting you said?"

After all, Zhu Chuanfeng is a professional. After hearing what Zhou Shu said, he probably understood what was going on.

Zhu Chuanfeng's eyes flickered, as if he was deducing the effect of this method.

The rest of the people didn't understand what Zhou Shu meant at all. The method of refining and refining steel was too professional for them.

Even those apprentices who cast soldiers know little about it.

"Yes, the method of refining is to reduce the impurities in the iron material through repeated heating and forging, with certain skills, and to reduce the carbon content in the iron material through special methods. Lowering, repeating like this, what you get is Hundred Steelmaking..."

Zhou Shu used his own understanding to cut and cut the words.

As for whether Zhu Chuanfeng can understand, I'm sorry, anyway, he will not explain the specific joints to Zhu Chuanfeng.

This is a secret!

Smelting steel is not only about repeated forging, but also involves the ratio of iron, carbon, tin and other substances.

Without knowing this, it is not that easy to make a hundred steel.

Zhou Shu believes that even a master craftsman may not be able to find the perfect formula without trying thousands of times.

Would the master be wasting so much time on this?

Obviously not.

This world is different from Zhou Shu's previous life. All kinds of mysterious casting materials are much stronger than Bailian Steel, but those casting materials are expensive, and only powerful warriors can afford them.

"Mr. Zhou, do you mean that only ordinary iron can be used to make a hundred steel?"

Meng Bai asked in a deep voice.

"Almost." Zhou Shu said, "General, do you want to ask the cost of this knife?"

Mengbai nodded, and heard Zhou Shu say, "Hundreds of steelmaking is mainly expensive in labor costs. Calculated, the cost of this knife should be 22 to 30 taels of silver."

"So cheap?"

Blindfolded eyes lit up ~IndoMTL.com~ said.

Is this cheap?

Zhou Shu felt that he might be asking for a low price. He originally thought that a Hu Ben knife would only sell for five taels of silver, and the cost of this knife would be at most twice as expensive as a Hu Ben knife.

You can earn 10 taels of silver, let alone 20 or 30 taels.

After all, the labor cost of the Army Casting Division is almost negligible...

"It's okay." Zhou Shu pondered, "Let's try to reduce the cost as much as possible, we should be able to supply this knife at this price."

"Master Zhou really is the pillar of the country!"

Mengbai's face was overjoyed and he said loudly.

"Master Zhu, do you think who will win in this competition?"

Meng Bai looked at Zhu Chuanfeng and said with a smile.

"The so-called Hundred Steelmaking is just what he said to himself. The specifics will only be known after trying it out." Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly, "In this world, appearance goods are everywhere, who knows, Isn't this knife good looking?"

"Does Master Zhu say that the general is blind, or that you are blind yourself?"

Meng Bai snorted coldly, and a sense of majesty emerged spontaneously. He said coldly, "You and I, can't you see the quality of a standard weapon?"

"Seeing is false." Zhu Chuanfeng's scalp was numb, and his heart was stunned, and he said, "Even me, I can't guarantee that when I look wrong, this knife is really good, I have to give it a try. !”

"Hmph, since Master Zhu has such a taste, then Ben will accompany him to the end." Meng Bai said coldly, "Today, Japan will try the sword in person!"

"Boss Zhou, does this knife have a name?"

He looked at Zhou Shu and asked.

"Yes!"

Zhou Shu sternly said, "This sword is called Chopping Horses!"

"Also called, Mo Dao!"
