Dajin picked up a god of war

Chapter 569 Simple style wooden handle is great
"anything else?"

"What else?"

"Wang Shilang, forgive our stupidity, we really can't think of it."

The masters scratched their heads anxiously, and Wang Mi had no choice but to give some pointers.

"Have you ever made it three or five more times like this, and saw that the color of the steel block has completely stabilized, and then let it cool?"

"Beat it!" Some masters didn't let go after biting to death, but some masters gradually realized: "However, the color of the steel we made is really wrong."

"Look, we always make one or two times, and when the weight of the steel block no longer changes, we end the process."

"As you can see from the cool steel block, the color is not so translucent, and it is not comparable to the steel block here now."

"I think what Wang Shilang means is, let us follow the rules and beat it repeatedly, regardless of whether the weight of the steel block will change again. When the color of the steel block becomes completely pure, then it is done."

"Wang Shilang, I don't know if the young man is right?" A young craftsman who seems to be the youngest has the fastest brain and a lively mind.

After listening to his words, Wang Mi nodded vigorously and praised: "That's the truth."

"You must pay attention to the number of times of beating, you must not stop the operation because the weight of the steel block does not change once or twice, but continue to operate, and see that the color of the steel block is also stable, and the weight is really impossible. If you reduce it any more, it will be considered a good piece of steel.”

"Such steel can make pistols!"

Under Wang Mi's repeated explanations, the crude group steel finally gradually turned into "real steel." The next procedure went to the step of making steel pipes.

Although there is no such precise unit of measurement in this era, the craftsmen still have a solution.

In this era, the famous mathematician Zu Chongzhi has not yet been born. Zu Chongzhi is from the Southern Dynasty, and there is no way to help Wang Mi, who is not ideal in mathematics, to make a more accurate steel pipe.

Fortunately, the skilled craftsmen have already figured out how to do it. Although they don't master the calculation method, they have all kinds of molds in their hands. With these molds, they are enough to mass-produce steel pipes that meet Wang Mi's requirements.

The blacksmith shop was busy with work, and the other workshops were not far behind. Wang Mi walked gently on the path of the workshop, and soon came to the woodworking workshop.

"Master Yan, your carpentry work is really ingenious!"

Wang Mi came to him, and while approving, there was an incredible look in his eyes.

"Many thanks for the praise from Wang Shilang, the old slave dare not boast about anything else, but this skill in housekeeping is indeed the number one in Jiankang City."

"You can't find a craft better than mine even if you travel all over the city!"

Good workmanship!
This workmanship is really good!
However, it's also better.

I saw Master Yan picked up a fairly delicate wooden handle that had been chiseled, and blew it, and some small sawdust flew away.

"Master Yan, this wooden handle is used for weapons, as long as it is generally beautiful, it does not need to be particularly delicate."

"Oh?"

"It doesn't need to be too good-looking, so that's the case, why didn't Wang Shilang say it earlier?" Master Yan lowered his eyelids, and his tone was very unfriendly.

In front of him, the wooden handle made by Master Yan was in his hands, and at his feet, there was a wooden handle that had already been made.

The two wooden handles are exactly the same in shape, and there is hardly any difference to the naked eye, which is enough to prove Master Yan's ability.

But the pattern on the wooden handle gave Wang Mi a headache.

Master Yan's personal ability is outstanding, and he also pursues perfection in his work. Obviously, on the pattern that Wang Mi handed him, there is no pattern on the handle of the wooden handle. However, Master Yan made his own decision and carved every wooden handle. pattern.

Although the decoration is very simple, it is just a chrysanthemum pattern and a lotus pattern, but such a simple decoration is not allowed here in Wang Mi!
"Master Yan, I'm not questioning your craftsmanship, I know your craftsmanship is good, and no one can compare it in the entire Jiankang City. However, this wooden handle is to be decorated on the new type of weapon, it is not just a decoration, it is It must be practical, and it must be practical!”

"I know you are well-intentioned, but, like spears and broadswords, this kind of weapon has to be produced in large quantities, not hundreds or thousands, but must be tens of thousands!"

"Good guy!"

"Ten thousand?"

"Then my old man can't finish it even if he wants to die!" Master Yan jumped up and looked at the delicate wooden handle in his hand, suddenly becoming complicated.

He probably understood what Wang Mi meant.

"Not every craftsman has the craftsmanship of my old face!"

"No wonder!"

"No wonder!"

"Forget it, wait a minute longer, waiter Wang, and the old slave will do two more."

Wang Mi nodded, and I have to say that Master Yan's ability to comprehend and understand is indeed outstanding.Although he didn't mean to praise him, he still understood the meaning of this layer by himself, and immediately boasted a few words.

Wang Mi was not interested in his boasting, but he had to say that Master Yan's words afterward showed that he understood what Wang Mi meant.

Why can't decorative patterns on the wooden handle of the pistol, only plain weave, that is because to maintain the consistency of the weapon system.

Pistols are used to fight, not to express the ingenuity of craftsmen. They are not like those swords and arrows that are specially used for collection, and can be marked with personal marks.

The simpler it is, the more efficient it can be.

Master Yan was not a careful person. Without waiting for Wang Mi's orders, he destroyed the two exquisite wooden handles that had been made on the spot.

It seems that it is right to come here to do some inspections. Many times, seemingly simple tasks will give birth to various branches in the eyes of people who have never come into contact with him.

So that the difference is a thousand miles away, and things that look exactly the same on the surface can actually be two completely different and unrelated things.

"Have you been busy with these things these days?"

It was not until after the inspection of the wood workshop that Chen Suanzi finally spoke, bringing a rare breath of coldness to Wang Mi, who was immersed in a pleasant working atmosphere.

"Yeah, do you think these things are boring?"

It's not forging iron or cutting wood. It's dirty and smelly everywhere. Even if Shen Suanzi brags, she's still a little lady after all.

"I didn't say that, I thought it was interesting."

Shen Suanzi is a frank person. She almost never lies. Wang Mi really has a vision. The first time she traveled far, she took her to the lively and lively general workshop, which was exactly what she wanted.

Although the workshop is hectic, there is not much danger. Chen Suanzi, dressed in men's clothing, walks in the workshop and moves very freely.

Occasionally, a craftsman cast a strange look at him, but he just took her as a handsome man of some family, and looked at her more.

While Wang Mi was concentrating on striking the iron, Shen Suanzi had already wandered out.
