Monarch of Evernight: 176 forging
bsp;The old man said: "It is difficult to handle, so the princess can share the worries of the consort. Now that the empire is in troubled times, it is much harder for Young Master Qianye to return to the clan than it was back then. After all, we have been away from the imperial capital for many years, and the noble Shilu clan's mansion is There is no reliable manpower on the side. If others want to stir up trouble and do something secretly when verifying the talent and bloodline, they may destroy the foundation of Young Master Qianye again. This is probably why the Prince Consort has not mentioned returning to the clan. ."
Princess Gaoyi nodded and said: "Yes, it is not easy to pass the test of the mother clan. How many pairs of eyes are staring at your husband, the leader of the Zhao clan."
"However, blood relations are strict, and the adopted son has no involvement in the inheritance of the title, but there is a lot of room for manipulation. And the adopted son of the princess and the consort is much more noble than the ordinary children of the small aristocratic family. As long as Master Qianye accumulates military exploits, please grant him a title. No problem at all, this way you can advance to the next level and make up for the shortcomings in your status."
Princess Gaoyi pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is very important. I need to listen to your husband's thoughts. Besides..." She didn't say any more.
The old man took a peek at the princess's expression, and then said: "From what I can see, the two young masters Junhong and Jundu have a brotherly love for Young Master Qianye. Needless to say, the young lady's behavior seems to be quite friendly. After all, That original crystal saved the young lady’s life, so it’s understandable that I’ll always be grateful for it.”
"My husband only went out once..." Princess Gaoyi suddenly sighed and said a little lonely: "Well, my husband will prepare the rest for him. I still have some hair crystals in my private treasury. Send a bunch to Jiang Mansion and add it to Dongyue, which will increase the level by half. In addition, you should also pay attention in the past few days to see if there is anything else that Qianye can use. "
"I understand, let's do it now." The old man hesitated for a moment, then cautiously advised: "The young lady's body is like this. Although the young masters are all extremely talented, it seems that most of the burden will still be done in the future. It is always a good thing to have a brother to support you on Master Jundu's shoulders, and besides, he is also the one chosen by the young master himself."
Princess Gaoyi did not speak, but just waved her hand.
When the old man exited the palace door, he looked back. The Force light in the palace was clearly extremely bright, but it outlined a blurry and still figure.
After Qianye spent two days in the "Kaishan Courtyard", the Craftsman's Mansion sent someone to report that Dongyue had completed the first tempering and was about to enter the most important forging process. Qianye remembered Zhao Weihuang's instructions and decided to go see Dongyue's forging. Zhao Yuying liked the excitement, so of course she clamored to go with him.
Originally, Qianye thought that the so-called craftsman's house was a place similar to a workshop, which mainly relied on traditional hand-made methods to craft the highest quality equipment. Unexpectedly, after getting into the car, he drove all the way out of the side gate of Zhao's Mansion, along the winding mountain road, and drove towards the mountains.
This mountain road was obviously specially built to accommodate four heavy-duty trucks traveling in parallel. Along the way, Qianye often saw heavy-duty trucks passing back and forth. Just by looking at the tonnage of these trucks, one could tell how much materials the craftsman's house handled every day.
What surprised Qianye slightly was that he saw many heavy-duty trucks carrying black stones. It's really incredible that Zhao Valve's Mansion actually uses black stone as energy source. In various wealthy families, most places like Jiangfu have abandoned black stones and used black crystals instead. The more luxurious ones even use void crystals as energy sources.
For example, the Tiangong Workshop of the Song Vale, which is dedicated to the direct senior management of the valve, uses a void crystal as the core to build a power furnace to supply the energy required by the entire workshop. This is the high end. Blackstone has always been regarded as an energy source that can only be used by civilians among the imperial families.
After driving along the mountain road for dozens of kilometers, I turned around a mountain pass and saw a naturally erected boulder. One side of the boulder was cut open and the two characters "Jiangfu" were written on it.
Moving forward, Qianye's eyes suddenly opened up, and he realized that the so-called Jiangman's Mansion actually covered the entire valley and could be called a city.
At the entrance to the valley, the guard carefully checked the pass, and a moment later a deacon boarded the car to guide the way. This Jiangfu is a city complete with avenues, alleys, neighborhood squares, and if there is no one to guide you, you really don’t know when you will be able to find a place.
There is a power tower nearly 100 meters high in each corner of the entire Jiangman Mansion. The silver-gray metal outer wall shines in the sunlight. White steam continued to emerge from the top of the tower and dispersed into the sky. Qianye couldn't help but compare it with the cities he had seen. Needless to say, Blackstream City only had one power tower. In front of them, they were like adults and children. The scale of Yongye County City like Dark Blood City was comparable. comparable.
Seeing the four power towers, Qianye understood why he saw so many vehicles transporting black stones on the road.
The off-road vehicles were traveling all the way, and tall factory buildings could be seen everywhere on both sides of the road, with fully loaded trucks driving in and out from time to time.
In the valley, the roar of machinery was deafening, and the smoke produced by the burning black stone mixed with the steam, forming a huge smoke column that rose straight into the sky. The Craftsman's Mansion is like an extremely huge steel beast, constantly swallowing metal and black stones, and then spitting out various weapons and equipment.
The last time Qianye was shocked by a similar scene was when he first arrived in Qinlu Xiangyang a few years ago. At that time, he was still a young man who had just walked out of the Huangquan training camp and didn't know where to go.
The vehicle didn't stop until it reached a huge building with a radius of one kilometer deep in the Carpenter's Mansion. The deacon and the door guard completed the confirmation process before leading Qianye and Zhao Yuying in.
The deacon introduced as he walked: "Master Qianye, this is the core location of the Jiangfu. Your Dongyue sword is made of special material. Only the Kuafu press here can integrate the heavy silver of Tianshui into the sword body. . Speaking of which, the barrel of Miss Yuying’s gun, Master Jundu’s Blue Sky, was forged here."
Qianye and Zhao Yuying followed the deacon through the two doors and walked into an extremely grand hall. I saw a giant press nearly a hundred meters high standing in the center. Four huge supporting pillars reached the ceiling. Each piece of the press was several people tall. In front of this press, which can be called a steel castle, craftsmen and technicians are like ants, climbing up and down.
Countless pipelines protrude from the press, bending and coiling, extending in all directions.
At this time, there were roars, and Qianye watched the extremely huge press slowly lift up, revealing the machine platform below. Several craftsmen quickly jumped onto the machine and carefully painted silver liquid on the body of the Dongyue Sword.
This kind of silver liquid is Tianshui Heavy Silver, but a small jar is incredibly heavy. However, the palm-sized silver pot actually required two strong men to lift it together. Qianye scanned it with his real vision and found that the big men carrying the silver jars were all eighth-level warriors, and the three craftsmen who painted the heavy silver were actually warrior generals.
After a while, the heavy silver painting was completed, and the craftsmen covered the heavy silver with a thick layer of unknown material, placed Dongyue in the prepared mold, and placed it on the machine.
A shrill bell rang in the hall, and the craftsmen and technicians all jumped off the machine and stood outside the red line marking safety. As the three bells rang, the stamping machine spewed out a large cloud of steam, and the nose of the machine seemed to fall slowly but quickly, hitting the machine platform heavily.
The huge press trembled, causing the entire ground and hall to tremble violently. It could be said that the earth was shaking.
The machine head was raised again, and the craftsmen quickly jumped on the machine, managed to pry Dongyue out of the mold, painted heavy silver and covering materials again, and replaced the mold with a new one. After repeated forging several times, the layers of heavy silver from heavenly water gradually seeped into Dongyue, and silver stripes gradually appeared on the sword.
During the break between forging, the deacon took the time to briefly explain the principles and performance of this press to Qianye. When the machine head falls, the pressure generated is tens of thousands of tons. Even with Qianye's strength at this time, if he stood on the machine platform, he would be crushed into a meat pie in an instant.
With such heavy pressure, even if it falls slowly, nothing can stop it.
After self-taught the Taixuan Army Conquest Technique, Qianye's attacks became more and more powerful, and his dexterity gradually lost, and he began to embark on the martial arts path of using force to break the situation. Seeing this 10,000-ton stamping machine that is unstoppable and unstoppable by manpower, Qianye vaguely seemed to have some enlightenment, and the more he looked at it, the more fascinated he became.
Under this pressure, Dongyue's physical properties also underwent subtle changes, constantly incorporating heavy silver from Tianshui into the sword body. After a while, one jar of heavenly water and heavy silver was used up, and the craftsmen opened a new jar. Qianye suddenly noticed a unique emblem on the seal of the silver can. He seemed to have seen it in Princess Gaoyi's Qingping Palace.
He turned around and saw that there were three jars of heavy silver in the storage area, all with the emblem of Princess Gaoyi. The water in the sky is so heavy with silver, and it can repair Dongyue. Its physical properties are wonderful, and it is obviously worth a lot of money. Judging from the scene, there were far more gifts from Princess Gaoyi than from Zhao Weihuang. The value of this gift was quite valuable.
When Princess Gaoyi mentioned Tianshui's heavy silver before, Qianye never thought it would be such an amount. What was the purpose of such a generous gift? Qianye had vaguely guessed it.
Zhao Yuying also saw the seal on the silver can. She reached out and patted Qianye's shoulder and said, "Those seem to be gifts from Princess Gaoyi. Do you want to use them?"
Qianye took a deep breath and said calmly: "Yes, why not?"
Zhao Yuying shrugged, said nothing, and continued to accompany Qianye to watch the stamping and forging of Dongyue.
In the blink of an eye, another jar of heavy silver was used up, and the craftsmen had already replaced several batches. Even a warrior will run out of force after three or four forging operations.
The mechanics/warriors were just about to open the new heavy silver when a slightly feminine voice suddenly came from beside them: "Wait a minute!"
Qianye turned around and saw the minister who had led him, the Chang Chang, walking quickly leading several internal officials.
The waiter Zhongchang stretched out his hand, and the official behind him held up a round tube covered with gold silk. The regular servant saluted Qianye and said with a smile: "Master Qianye, the princess specially ordered the old slave to send you a bunch of hair crystals. Adding this thing to the heavy sword can instantly increase its power."
"Hair Nether Crystal?!" Zhao Yuying was greatly surprised.
"Yes, it's the hair crystal." Eunuch Duan opened the round tube and carefully took out several hair-thin crystal strands from inside, flashing with a faint golden light. These crystal wires are so thin that they seem to break if the wind blows. The old appearance of Chang Shi inevitably makes people worry that if he shakes his hand, the crystal wires will break into several pieces.
Hair Nether Crystal is a natural medium for the transmission of the Force. After being incorporated into any equipment and weapons, it can better accommodate the Force, and its power is greatly increased out of thin air. The value of this bunch of hair ethereal crystals is still higher than that of Tianshui Heavy Silver.
Zhao Yuying, who was standing next to her, glanced at Qianye and said pointedly: "This sword is not cheap now."
Qianye smiled and said, "It's worth the price, and I'm worth the price too."
Zhao Yuying shrugged, "Just figure it out."
