44. As a father, I still need three sword handles (please give me a monthly pass to recommend collecting and reading)
Gan Ning listened to Pu Yuan's explanation, sometimes frowning, sometimes relaxing a little. Finally, he came to his senses and asked, "You mean, what comes out...is Baiyang Steel?"
Pu Yuan and Huang Yueying nodded in unison.
Gan Ning asked again, "No need to practice again and again?"
"yes."
The latter two nodded equally.
Gan Ning was silent, his eyes complicated... He also gave his dagger to Huang Yueying like a treasure, but she was just guarding the treasure mountain.
"Brother, there is no need to feel disappointed." Huang Yueying said, "Do you remember what A Chu said on the eve of the new year?"
Gan Ning nodded, "Of course I know, but...sometimes I wonder, who in the world can compare with A Chu?"
Yes, he really couldn't imagine that a woman who was no more than thirteen years old knew so many things. Could it be that he didn't study hard enough in the past?
"Why compare?" Huang Yueying shook her head. She just brought over some things from later generations, nothing more.
Gan Ning sighed, and then saw the molten iron flowing out, and became excited again. If it was really a hundred steelmaking... this escort under his command would be richer than any army in the hands of any prince in the Han Dynasty!
Yes! He has never fought such a rich battle!
Someone!
rich!
There is food!
Of course, the most important thing is to have weapons and armor based on hundreds of steelmaking.
By then, who in the world will dare to compete with him!
"Young lady is right, but I don't want to accompany you anymore because I can't wait to try this steel to see if it can withstand a thousand tempers or a thousand hammers." Pu Yuan laughed and planned to use this method to burn the steel.
Out of the steel, go to forge weapons.
"Master Pu, why not try using this steel as the blade, then use soft iron as the spine, bathe in flowing water, and quench with the fat of five animals to create a big knife." Huang Yueying added.
Pu Yuan stopped, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "That's right, it's just that the flowing water is easy to find, but the fat of the five animals is hard to find."
"Don't worry, Master Pu. I'm already prepared." Huang Yueying smiled, "Master Pu, go ahead."
"good!"
"Master Pu..." Gan Ning saw Pu Yuan's back and didn't know what he thought of. Then he looked at Huang Yueying, "Why do you need to bathe in flowing water first and quench the fat of the five animals?"
"Ah, this is another very profound question, brother." Huang Yueying didn't know how to explain it.
Water first and then oil, simply speaking, is a two-liquid quenching method, which is beneficial to reducing the tendency of distortion and cracking of steel materials during quenching, and improving the success and efficiency of manufacturing.
"Then there's no need to say it." Gan Ning said that he would never read these books in his life.
It was hard enough forcing myself to study before.
"Oh." Huang Yueying could only nod and asked Gan Ning to help find someone to make oil in the back kitchen of Chu Paper Workshop.
Gan Ning obeyed, and then asked, "Is this experimental furnace a success?"
"right."
“How much steel can be produced in a day?”
"If there are enough materials, several thousand kilograms is not a big problem." Huang Yueying thought for a while and then said.
Gan Ning nodded, "As for the equipment of the escort team, please leave it to Achu."
"No, I'm asking you masters." Huang Yueying pointed at the busy craftsmen.
Everyone's faces were full of joy.
"That's what Ah Chu said." Gan Ning then smiled.
"Uncle Zhou... Oh, Uncle Zhou accompanied his father to the county town." He wanted to ask Zhou Yang to give out rewards to the craftsmen, but he had to do it himself, "Everyone, after work is over today, each of you will receive fifty kilograms of corn!
"
"Thank you so much, queen!"
"Thank you, boss!"
"Thank you, little lady!"
"Thank you Chu Anjun!"
Huang Yueying smiled, and then... the iron-making furnace can be built as planned.
…
Huang Chengyan felt that he was the father who doted on his daughter the most in the world, but this back and forth still made him a little unbearable.
After finally hiring several doctors, he had to make medical records himself.
While rushing from one village to another, I met a familiar person: Pang Shanmin.
"The mountain people have met my uncle." Pang Shanmin met Huang Chengyan.
Huang Chengyan was overjoyed, "Where are the mountain people going?"
"I want to visit my uncle and Achu."
"What's the matter?"
Pang Shanmin was a little embarrassed for a moment. He couldn't say he wanted to do things for A Chu in public, right?
Seeing this, Huang Chengyan immediately changed the topic, "In that case, let me go for a while."
"ah?"
…
Zhuge watched Pang Shanmin being sent away by Huang Chengyan, so she had no choice but to take the remaining people and things to Huang's Zhuangzi. As soon as she arrived outside the village, she was stopped.
She was startled when she saw the guard standing straight.
It's only been half a month, so why has Zhuangzi changed so much inside and outside?
"Let's go." Huang Chengyan rode his horse and said to Zhuge, "Go and settle down in my home."
"Thank you uncle."
"It's okay." Huang Chengyan smiled and stroked his beard, but... he saw thick smoke billowing over the iron-making test site planned by A Chu, but there was no fire... so he set up his horse and went straight.
…
Pu Yuan looked at the big knife in his hand and laughed. Just by looking at it, he knew that this knife... was extremely sharp.
"Ah Chu, these are the only few pieces of armor that I have left for my brother." Gan Ning felt a bit toothache when he saw more than ten pieces of armor that Huang Yueying had plundered. The sword forged by Master Pu was very majestic. How about using a pair of armor?
Just try it.
A Chu actually used a wooden figure to wear one layer of armor, two layers, three layers...the most was five layers!
"Brother, don't feel bad." Huang Yueying waved her hand, then looked at Pu Yuan, "Master Pu, you will do the first blow."
"That's fine!" As a blacksmith and a knife forger, Pu Yuan still has confidence in the knife in his hand.
So he walked towards the first armored wooden man, held the handle of the knife with both hands, raised it, and shouted loudly.
The blade slashed diagonally from the upper right to the lower left.
Easily, the iron armor was split into two.
"Okay!" Gan Ning's eyes brightened and his heart was hot.
Pu Yuan also laughed loudly, "Nvjun, I'm so old... I'm lucky to have lived up to my fate!"
Then, he handed the first steel sword in his hand to Gan Ning, "General Gan, this sword is a gift prepared by the lady for the general."
Gan Ning took it and smiled, "Thank you, Master Pu."
Then he looked at Huang Yueying and said, "A Chu, can this knife be named?"
"The knives forged by this method are collectively called Sutie knives." Huang Yueying replied, "However, brother still wants to try the knives first."
"Okay!" Gan Ning didn't show any pretense. He immediately held the knife with one hand and used a little force to slash through the two-layered iron-clad wooden figure.
Hold the knife with both hands, three levels!
Four floors!
Five floors!
Gan Ning was shocked, then overjoyed. Looking at the blade again, there was no damage.
There was an uproar in the venue.
"Magic Knife!"
