The Rise of Primitive Tribes Farming

Chapter 345 Bronze Sword

Mang tribe, casting workshop.

"Hey..."

The bronze liquid was poured on the sword-shaped mold made of clay to fill the mold.

This kind of mold is not single-sided, but double-sided, just like a scabbard, after pouring the bronze liquid, it will be directly poured into a complete sword.

The sand mold was too rough. After many attempts, the casting workshop produced a mold made of clay. This mold is composed of two clay molds. First, it is made into the desired shape, and then the totem pattern of the Mang tribe is engraved inside. Glued together at the end.

The things casted in this way are directly finished products, and they only need a little polishing to make them very beautiful.

Soon, the bronze sword cooled in the clay mold.

"Knock it open and have a look."

Huo Shi, the owner of the casting workshop, stared nervously at the newly poured bronze sword. He personally took a small bronze hammer and smashed the clay mold on the outside of the bronze sword.

This kind of pottery clay mold is one-off, and to make a bronze ware, it is necessary to make a new mold, which is quite time-consuming.

"Whoa..."

After the clay mold was poured into the bronze sword, it became very hard and brittle, and it shattered into many pieces under the knock.

A bronze sword engraved with the totem patterns of the Mang tribe appeared in front of Huoshi and all the craftsmen.

"Ding!"

Flint tapped lightly on the bronze sword with a bronze hammer, making a pleasant sound of metal clashing.

"Polish!"

Huo Shi personally took a whetstone, dipped it in water, and began to polish the bronze sword carefully.

As the polishing progressed, the bronze sword gradually revealed its sharpness, and the surface became extremely smooth. Although it could not be used as a mirror, it still reflected golden light, as if it was made of gold.

Huoshi picked up another stone, and the totem pattern on his body lit up quickly, and then, a shocking scene appeared.

I saw Flint pouring the power of the totem into the bronze sword, and the totem patterns of the Mang tribe on the bronze sword also lit up.

The bronze sword engraved with the totem pattern of the Mang tribe can actually carry the power of the totem!
This is one of the great discoveries of the foundry.

In terms of hardness alone, bronze swords are not as good as those stone knives made of high-quality stone. If you add less tin, the bronze sword will be very soft and useless, but if you add more tin, the hardness is enough, but the toughness is poor. , very easy to break.

Until later, Huoshi tried to engrave the totem patterns of the Mang tribe on the bronze ware like tin ware, and a miracle appeared!
The bronze sword engraved with totem patterns can actually bear the power of the totem, both in terms of hardness and toughness, are greatly improved.

And stone tools, even if they are made of high-quality stone materials, even if they are engraved with totem patterns, they cannot bear the power of totems.

It seems that only the metal utensils that have been refined by fire, such as bronze ware, can have this kind of miracle.

Huoshi placed a palm-sized stone on another large flat stone, and then slashed at it with a bronze sword imbued with the power of the totem.

"Snapped!"

As the bronze sword slashed, the stone shattered, but there was no gap on the bronze sword, and the blade was still sharp.

"Success?"

"This should be what the leader said, a qualified bronze sword, right?"

The craftsmen in the casting workshop were all excited. The bronze sword was made by Chen Bei for them to cast.

However, because the ratio of copper and tin was uncertain before, and the original bronze sword was not engraved with totem patterns, the cast sword was disappointing.

As a new type of weapon, if you can't even fight the stone knife, then you will undoubtedly fail.

But the craftsmen in the casting workshop did not give up. They kept trying and experienced countless failures, and now they finally succeeded in casting!

The stone just now was an above-average stone, and it was considered a good stone, but the bronze sword could easily smash it into pieces without the blade breaking.

"Try the high-grade stone again." Huo Shi held the bronze sword, he was a little nervous, although it is easy to cut the medium-to-high stone, but it is not necessarily good to cut the high-grade stone, if it breaks, the sword will be destroyed up.

One of the craftsmen said: "Master, the leader said at the beginning that as long as you can cut a medium stone, you are considered qualified. The stone just now is already a medium-to-high stone. Otherwise, don't cut high-grade stone. ?”

Some of the other craftsmen also nodded. In their opinion, the casting has been successful now, even higher than Chen Bei's original requirements, and there is no need to take risks.

Huoshi's face sank, staring at the speaker, he said, "Do you know what the leader means by qualified? It means the minimum requirement!"

"The warriors of our Mang tribe will use the swords we forged to fight in the future!"

"If our fighters encounter opponents who use stone tools made of high-quality stone, but our bronze swords cannot cut others, have you thought about the consequences?"

"This this……"

The craftsman's mouth twitched a few times, but he finally lowered his head and didn't speak any more.

In fact, the main usage of the sword is to stab, but the fighters of the Mang tribe have a more reckless personality, and they prefer to slash with wide open and close.

Therefore, the bronze sword that Chen Bei asked them to cast was not a thin and thin sword, but a very thick and heavy epee.

This kind of sword can stab, and can even be swung to slash vigorously. It is very suitable for the warriors of the Mang tribe.

"Bring the high-quality stone!" Huo Shi shouted again.

This time, no one objected anymore, and the craftsman who spoke before silently placed a palm-sized high-quality stone on top of the flat stone.

"call!"

The flint poured the power of the totem into the bronze sword again, and the totem pattern on the bronze sword lit up bit by bit, and then the light became brighter, burning like a flame.

"when!"

Flint swung the heavy bronze sword, and slashed fiercely at the top-quality stone, making an ear-piercing sound.

Huo Shi put away the bronze sword first, and hurriedly looked at the place where he had cut.

The blade was still as smooth as before, and there were no cracks or cracks on it. Flint was overjoyed, and the other craftsmen breathed a sigh of relief after looking over it.

Afterwards, they looked at the high-quality stone again, and saw a deep cut on the high-quality stone, and there were still some cracks. Although it was not broken directly, it also proved that this bronze sword was better than the high-quality stone. Stone!
"Master, is this considered a success?" the previous craftsman asked cautiously.

Huo Shi lightly stroked the thick bronze, nodded vigorously, and said, "That's right, we succeeded!"

"Great!"

The craftsmen cheered one after another. For this moment, they have put in a lot of hard work. Now, all the hard work is worth it!

A few days after Chen Bei came back with the giant-toothed tiger king, and before he recovered from the excitement of becoming a god, the casting workshop sent over the bronze sword.

"What? Can you chop fine stone?"

Chen Bei was stunned. He knew that there were some well-forged bronze swords, which were very sharp, hard, and not low in toughness. However, such craftsmanship required the accumulation of several generations or even dozens of generations to be explored.

It never occurred to him that the foundry workshop was not long in establishment and could manufacture it.

After Chen Bei listened to Huo Shi's story, he gradually understood that all this was due to the magical totem pattern.

The existence of the power of the totem complements the deficiency of the bronze sword to some extent, making it sharp, tough, and powerful!

The bronze sword is of great significance, so Chen Bei naturally gave it a reward.

All the craftsmen in the foundry were rewarded generously, and Huoshi was rewarded by Chenbei with a newly built blue brick house, which made the Mang tribe very envious.
