A few days later, all the procedures for Huang Shaohong's purchase of the 'Ancient Sword Studio' were completed, and the studio was officially under his name.

For the convenience of traveling, he also spent hundreds of thousands to buy a top-of-the-range Wrangler to travel between Shanghai and Lishui.

He bought the Wrangler mainly because he likes this type of muscle car, which has good durability and can haul some cargo, which can help him conceal the use of his luggage to transport materials.

On the day he bought the car, Huang Shaohong drove his newly purchased Wrangler straight from Shanghai to Lishui. When he arrived, he parked the car in front of the studio and called the workers inside to come out and move the goods.

The first thing he did after taking over the studio was to pay all the wages owed to workers by the studio, and then announced a decision to increase the wages of all employees by 10%.

This decision made the two masters and the apprentices extremely grateful. So today, when the boss ordered the work, not only the apprentices, but also the two masters came out to help move things.

After parking the car, Huang Shaohong took the sword-making materials he brought from the game world from his luggage and placed them in the trunk. They were all various metal ingots. When the workers came out, he directed the workers to move them inside first.

Two old masters, one named Ning and the other Qu, have been working in the blacksmithing industry all their lives and have rich experience. They were stunned when they saw these metal ingots.

Master Ning even asked directly: "Mr. Huang, what kind of metal are these? Why have I never seen some of them before?"

Huang Shaohong naturally knows what these are. Copper, iron, tin, etc. are no different from reality. The main ones are real silver and mithril, metals unique to the game world.

Although he knew it, he couldn't tell it, so he immediately laughed: "These are some alloy materials my friend made, and he wanted to make them into cold weapons, but he didn't want finished products, just embryos. Let the two masters take a look at this knife."

, which requires this kind of craftsmanship, can we make it?"

After he finished speaking, he pretended to take out the 'Black Gold Ancient Sword' from the car and handed it to the two masters. Master Qu took it and took a look: "Hey, isn't this the Hundred Steelmaking? This is what we are playing with, no problem!"

Huang Shaohong asked about Bai Steelmaking, and then he understood the difference between the forging methods in the game world and traditional Chinese forging methods.

Forging in the game world is to smelt ore, cast it into metal ingots, and then forge the metal ingots into blanks. The whole process can be described as extremely rough. The quality of the weapon is completely determined by the material used.

However, this is not the case with traditional Chinese steel-making. Ancient craftsmen heated single or multiple materials and then folded and forged them. Because of the number of folds and the number of layers of materials, it can be divided into "thirty steel" and "fifty steel".

Lian', 'Seventy-two Lian', and 'Hundred Lian' are collectively called 'Hundred Lian' in modern times!

It is said that Sun Quan had three precious swords during the Three Kingdoms period, one of which was named "Bailian". Liu Bei ordered Pu Yuan to make five thousand swords, with "Seventy-two Refinements" engraved on them. This is the difference in the number of folds.

Although this ancient black gold sword is said to have been made by "a hundred steel refinings", it actually only lasted for thirty refinings, so it can barely be called a good sword.

One of the characteristics of steelmaking is that in addition to being tough, beautiful patterns will appear on the weapons. This is the pattern produced by the material being folded and forged, so it is also called patterned steel.

Huang Shaohong understood the truth and said that it was thanks to the rough forging methods in the game world that he had such an opportunity to make a fortune. He was even more determined not to sell this forging method for immediate profits. This was a long-term meal ticket.

ah!

He immediately took out a blueprint, which he translated from the blueprint given to him by Claude Thunderhammer last night. The shape of the blank and the ratio of metal mixing were clearly marked on it.

Huang Shaohong showed the drawings to the two old masters and told them: "If you want 20 sword embryos, just make them according to the markings on this drawing. As long as the quality can match this ancient black gold sword!"

After reading it, the two masters said that it was no problem. As long as the sword blanks were available, everyone got busy and could pick them up in a week.

Huang Shaohong was overjoyed. After ordering the workers to record the materials one by one, he planned to return to the Magic City and wait for a week to harvest.

Unexpectedly, just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by two masters. Master Ning told him that the sword studio had a backlog of products before and wanted to ask Huang Shaohong how to deal with them.

Huang Shaohong followed two old masters to the warehouse and saw a row of shelves of weapons. In addition to some well-made knives, guns, sticks, sticks and other weapons, there was also an extremely exaggerated Fang Tian painted halberd.

This Fangtian painted halberd is nearly three meters long, and is entirely silver. A coiled dragon is carved on the handle. From the dragon's tail to the dragon's head, it is the entire length of the halberd. It is extremely beautiful. Perhaps because it is too long, it is not placed upright.

, but placed horizontally on the wooden shelf on the booth.

Huang Shaohong reached out to grab it with great interest. When he started to grab it, it sank. The two masters quickly shouted: "Be careful!"

He shook his head to indicate that it was okay, used both hands to lift the halberd directly.

"Good fellow, this halberd weighs no less than a hundred pounds, right?"

Master Ning introduced: "This was customized by a big boss a few years ago. The whole body is made of high manganese steel. It is 2.8 meters long and weighs 108 kilograms. It is said that a Feng Shui master said that the big boss's fleeting years were not good for him.

, I need to get a heavy weapon like this to suppress the evil spirit!"

Huang Shaohong was a little surprised when he heard this: "Then why didn't you take the painted halberd away after it was made?"

Master Qu laughed at the side and said: "The big boss paid the full price, but when the painting halberd was finished, it happened to catch up with the economic crisis and went bankrupt. I heard that many economic problems were discovered and he was sentenced to life.

After being sentenced to prison term, this thing will become an ownerless thing, and it will always be thrown away in our warehouse!"

Huang Shaohong thought to himself that as his iron cloth became more and more sophisticated, his power became more and more powerful. Sooner or later, he would need such a heavy weapon. He originally wanted to get a dragon-coiling stick or a bright silver gun or something, which would be a perfect match.

Bao Zhilin's gun and stick skills.

But now that such a cool and beautiful weapon is placed in front of him, how can he not be tempted? Although he doesn't know how to use a halberd, he has the experience of a master of Nanquan and is proficient in spear and stick.

It is not difficult to figure out a set of techniques for using a painted halberd in swordsmanship.

He pondered for a while and said to the two old masters: "I think so, let's learn from others and spend money to set up a website on the Internet to promote it, and just sell these sword crafts made with ancient methods. From now on, I will

When we have no work, we produce handicrafts and collectibles such as cold weapons, which can be sold online, and we can also accept orders from others online!"

After saying that, he picked out among the finished weapons a pure steel nine-section whip that could be hidden under his clothes. This thing was very powerful when used properly, and could also be used as a rope, so he could put it away to be prepared.

Then he pointed at the Fangtian painted halberd and said, "I like this thing too. I will drive it away in a while and put it back in my room!"

The two old masters naturally had no objections to this. When they heard that the boss wanted to spend money to build a website, they were only happy.

Huang Shaohong originally wanted to load it up in a car and pack it into his luggage without anyone noticing, but this plan ultimately failed.

Because the halberd was 2.8 meters long, he couldn't fit it in his car. In the end, in order not to arouse suspicion, he had to hire a box to help him transport it to the warehouse he rented in the Magic City, and wait until no one was around.
