Origin Chapter 263: Eighteen sets

Everyone saw that Wu Zhongyuan was in a daze. He just thought he was thinking about some important issue. How could he know that he was thinking of going out to steal things in a group.

It's definitely wrong to steal, but Wu Zhongyuan didn't get too entangled on this issue. If he rises to the height of morality at every turn, he can't do anything. The most important thing is that even if it is stealing, it is not for self-interest, but for the benefit of all mankind. There are various excuses for being a thief, but I am afraid there is no higher excuse than this.

Of course, if you can change it, don't steal it, if you can steal it, don't rob it, but it's not very likely to be exchanged. As long as there is a good thing, the owner will not share it with others. It is estimated that it will eventually depend on stealing. For things that are truly useful to the world, no matter whether the means are bright or not, you have to find ways to get them back.

This matter should be done sooner rather than later, and it must be implemented as soon as possible, but the question is who to find a partner. Take a step back and say that even if they could pull away, they wouldn't accompany him to do this. Not only would they not accompany him to do it, but they would resolutely stop him.

To form a "criminal gang", you must first have transportation. This is ready-made, and it is estimated that there is nothing better than Dasha.

And then there must be a mastermind, the black pot he is bound to do.

Then there must be accomplices, and all the accomplices must have a skill. The first thing he excluded was Wu Di. Wu Di has now been closely monitored in the capital of the bear clan and cannot move freely, but even if Wu Di is free to move, he will Wu Di will not be invited to join the gang, because Wu Di is also the material of the mastermind, and one mastermind in a gang is enough.

A skill is a necessary condition for picking people to join the team. The first thing to consider is the two armadillos that Zilianshancheng tried to steal the golden slips in Jiang Nanluan's Fengjianli that day. Hurry up, what happened that day was revealed. Under the roundup of many purple qi masters from the Niu Clan, they could not escape. They should have been caught by the Niu Clan. I just don’t know if the Niu Clan killed them. If not, they must still be there. The cattle are locked up, you can go to the cattle to fish them out.

If you can meet Jiang Nan, you can invite her to join the team. Jiang Nan is proficient in pharmacology. If other members of the team are accidentally poisoned, she can detoxify. In addition, Jiang Nan can also transform into Qingluan, which is a great advantage to be able to fly, and it will definitely be used in the future.

It is best to have a guide. This person must know the tribes outside of Middle-earth. Otherwise, he will not know who to steal when he goes out, but this person is hard to find. There must be no Middle-earth. Look elsewhere.

It is also necessary to bring a bodyguard. He and Jiang Nan's spiritual qi cultivation base is not high. If they encounter a master, they will suffer a loss. This person is not easy to find. Most of the purple qi masters have a high self-esteem. He disdains being a thief. If he is hired from outside, he is afraid of being unreliable. If he sees money, what will he do?

When Wu Zhongyuan was in a daze, Li Dashou got up and started playing. He had previously arranged a job for Li Dashou to make a metal anti-counterfeiting currency. Draw a sketch.

The currency designed by Li Dashou is a shell style, but it is not a flat shell like a scallop, but a shell rolled inward on both sides, which is shaped like an olive pit. This metal shell has anti-counterfeiting function, of course not It's a discoloration watermark, but this metal shell is made of copper-tin alloy. The style is also specially designed. After it is created, it can be blown. Even if the imitation can be blown, the sound of the alloy is not known. the difference.

Wu Zhongyuan passed without even thinking about it. He majored in archaeology in college and knew that shell coins were the earliest form of currency, which happened to be designed by Li Dashou.

Everyone came from a long way and was a little tired. When they arrived at Desi, Wu Zhongyuan ended the morning meeting and left everyone to eat lunch in Jiumu. After the meal, everyone returned to the station separately. At this time, the warriors of Jiumu and Jiulian were all here. There are no people in charge of the city and the besieged city, so they must go back to preside over their daily work as soon as possible.

Metal smelting is the specialty of the bird tribe. Every city has furnaces and workshops for metal smelting. The so-called workshops are places where craftsmen work. Workshops are also divided into military and civilian use. The workshop is mainly used to make weapons and armor.

Wu Zhongyuan urged Li Dashou to melt the black iron as soon as possible, but Li Dashou said that he did not have the tools at hand, and he lacked a competent assistant. He had to wait for his family to arrive and his two sons could help him to start.

In the evening, Li Dashou's family finally came. After the rest, they opened the furnace at the second watch.

There is no blower at this time, but there is a similar device. Its structure is somewhat similar to the hand-pulled bellows used to blow fire in rural areas, but it is larger and needs to be pushed and pulled by an adult man.

At this time, artisans had already started to use coal, but they only knew that the temperature of coal burning was higher than that of charcoal, but they didn't know how coal came from, and they gave it a better name than coal. Inkstone.

The method of smelting black iron is different from ordinary metallurgy. The black iron is too hard and there is nothing that can be used as a furnace, so Li Dashou hoisted the black iron, about five feet above the ground, from the black iron. The left and right sides of the furnace are set up, and the upper part of the flame is blown by pulling the bellows, so that the upper part of the flame is displaced laterally, and it is melted by the high temperature combined force of the two outer flames.

This method can indeed melt the black iron, but the progress is very slow. Since the height of the two furnaces is fixed, after the bottom metal is melted, the height of the black iron from the ground can only be lowered, and the melting continues.

When Li Dashou and his son were busy, Wu Zhongyuan kept watching from the sidelines, worried about disturbing Li Dashou. Wu Zhongyuan did not talk to them, but just observed from the side. Li Dashou's previous inference was correct. The method can only melt the black part of the meteorite, and a small amount of golden yellow metal is still solid.

The shape of this yellow metal is irregular, some are flakes, some are granular, and the size is different. Since it cannot be melted, after the ferrous metal is melted, they will fall off and separate.

And Li Dashou will carefully collect these yellow metals. He also knows that this kind of metal is extremely rare, even the smallest particles will not be missed.

"How long will it take to melt it all?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Li Dashou bowed his head and was busy, "The fastest will be before the sunrise."

"How long will it take to create a stereotype?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

"It depends on what to build. The black iron is very hard. If it is to build a pair of warrior armor, it will take at least a month." Li Dashou said, and then he added, "I said at least." /

Wu Zhongyuan nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

At this time, the third watch is approaching, and Dasha has not come back. Wu Zhongyuan concentrates and perceives, and finds that Dasha is located 80 miles away from the Great Jersey. Even if it is powerful, it is not easy to open up a road of hundreds of miles. Fortunately, although Dasha is loyal to his ministry, he does not forget to eat and sleep. This guy is not hungry. He has food in his stomach. He should have stopped to eat in the evening. Dasha's rules, whether he is there or not, Dasha will follow.

Li Dashou's father and son have been busy all the time. Wu Zhongyuan only said three words to him in the second half of the night. First, he asked how this kind of black iron was different from the black iron they had contacted before. Li Dashou replied that the black part should be It's the same, but the yellow metal has never been seen.

The second sentence is to ask how powerful armor can be made of black iron, and Li Dashou replied that it will be indestructible.

The last sentence asks about carrying or using weapons made of black black iron, what potential impact will it have on people? The reason why he asked this question was to determine whether the radiation affecting Dasha came from the black black iron or the yellow part.

Li Dashou replied that common black iron will not have adverse effects on people, but he has never seen yellow black iron before, so he is not sure whether it will affect people.

Li Dashou's answer dispelled Wu Zhongyuan's concerns. If the radiation source is black black iron, Dasha can't stay away from it. If it is yellow black iron, he can carry it with him.

Li Dashou's estimate is very accurate. Before sunrise, the melting of the black iron was completed. At this time, there were already weighing tools, and they were weighed separately. Since the impurities in the meteorite iron were removed during the melting process, the weight was reduced. The net weight of black iron is 360 catties, and the yellow black iron is 9 catties and nine taels.

Although Li Dashou and his son were very tired, Wu Zhongyuan did not let them go back to rest, but ordered them to wrap yellow black iron with copper to create a copper belt, and cast cloud patterns for decoration. This copper belt was prepared for Dasha. Yes, it can be put on its neck, and the copper and the black iron are integrated into one, even if someone sees it, they will not find the clue. If you want to build a weapon in the future, you can re-melt it and then separate it.

"How much black iron do I need to use to build a set of armor?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

Li Dashou wiped his teary eyes, "Bronze armor weighs about 30 to 40 kilograms. Men and women are different in shape and weight will be different, but black iron is no better than bronze, it is very hard and can be lightened... "

Before Li Dashou finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan interrupted him, "Can you make 18 sets of armor?"

Li Dashou is not a fool, he immediately guessed why he asked this question, and after considering his estimation, his face showed consternation, "If the eighteen sets of armor are nine men and nine women, no more or no less, just right."

"As soon as possible." Wu Zhongyuan said.

Li Dashou nodded and suddenly remembered something, "Profound crystal is needed to build armor that can be inspired by warriors, we don't have it."

"Are there any bird tribes?" Wu Zhongyuan asked. The mysterious crystal that Li Dashou mentioned was undoubtedly the amethyst metal mentioned in the laboratory report of the 18th Bureau.

Li Dashou nodded.

Considering that it would be difficult to get amethyst metal from the Bird tribe, Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "Can the mysterious crystal be melted and extracted from the armor of the Bird tribe warrior?"

Li Dashou shook his head, "No, once Xuanjing is combined with warrior blood, it cannot be reused."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. In modern times, a bird warrior tried to kill him. After the bird warrior was killed by the little wizard, the color of his armor changed. This indirectly verified Li Dashou's statement. , that amethyst metal cannot be reused.

After handing over the black iron to Li Wanzi for safekeeping, Wu Zhongyuan bid Li Wanzi farewell.

Li Wanzi asked him where he was going. Wu Zhongyuan didn't lie to her, but he didn't tell the truth. He told Li Wanzi that he was going to the Niu clan, but he didn't tell Li Wanzi what he did in the Niu clan...
