Lu Bu's Ambition

Chapter 526: The Wisdom Crystallization of the Ancients

"My lord, these rattan armors are as hard as iron!" Dian Wei turned around and shouted excitedly, he just didn't have the talent to command troops, and he wasn't stupid, how could he not know the power of these things on the battlefield.

After seeing Dian Wei's excited shout, Lu Bu looked at the old man and laughed.

The old man even shook his head, pointed at the rattan armor in Dian Wei's hand and sighed: "It's a pity that the general's divine power is so amazing that he left such a deep mark on this rattan armor."

With a look of distress and pity, Dian Wei rubbed the back of his head and smiled awkwardly.

Distressed quickly, quickly forgotten, I saw that the old man put the matter behind him in a blink of an eye, and excitedly led Lu Bu forward.

Going deeper, on a rock exposed to the sun, black sticks were hung from rows of wooden frames.

The old man excitedly jumped onto the rock, took down a black wooden stick, and shouted excitedly to Lu Bu: "Look, my lord, after five years, it is finally finished. These are all high-quality materials."

Said that at this time the old man showed a distressed look on his face, as if he was caressing a peerless gem, carefully caring for it.

"It's just that the cost is too high, time-consuming and labor-intensive. There are thousands of sticks, but only these 180 three sticks are usable." He said at this time that his eyes were full of pain and regret.

After Dian Wei took it excitedly, his hand was heavy, and he exclaimed, "Old man, what is this? It's even heavier than iron."

Carefully stroking the rough palm, the old man said regretfully, "Hey~ this is a lance, but the cost is too high, but with the oil sent from the Nanman land, the effect is better than before."

"Three points heavier than iron and two points lighter than iron, this is the best spear."

While the old man was explaining, Lu Bu also took off a shiny black spear, and after examining it carefully, he suddenly shook his hands vigorously and released a few gunshots.

The lance was as hard as iron, although it didn't bend or tremble, but he could feel the slight softness in his hands. Dian Wei learned to dance after seeing it, and his face suddenly changed.

"My lord, this~this~"

Dian Wei looked at the wooden pole in his hand in shock, he finally understood the function of these things, Lu Bu also nodded slightly.

At this time, the old man waved his hand to summon a few old women, looked at Lu Bu and Dian Wei with a smile, "My lord's painted halberd, and the general's short halberd, try your hands."

I saw these five tall and thick old women bring up the painted halberd and the short halberd in their hands. After they came here, they handed over the weapons to the old man.

When he saw his weapon again, there had been obvious changes. The halberd shaft that was once made of iron was covered with a layer of sackcloth, but now it was replaced with another material.

This is made of rattan silk, exuding a dark color, and at the same time mixed with a sense of metal.

After getting it, it was less cold but more rough, Dian Wei danced excitedly.

"My lord, what is this? It's easier to get started, not to mention more tenacity."

Lu Bu smiled and said, "This is made using the same method as the lance."

At this time, the old man was even more excited, as if someone was praising him, pointing to the weapons of the two and laughingly said: "There is also some metal in it, kneading it is not only non-slip, but also more tenacious. In the future, the general will also Will not be injured by the force of the recoil.”

As a military commander, Dian Wei certainly understood the meaning of it. When a weapon collides, the first thing to be stressed is the hands. However, these powerful warriors are all solid weapons, unlike ordinary soldiers who are made of wood.

Therefore, when the weapon collides, the wooden one will lose part of the force, but the iron one will not, and it will all bounce back to the palm of the hand.

But with this extra layer, no matter how hard it is, it is still made of wood. With full tenacity, it can take off part of the strength, so that it will not be injured by the shock.

The col, this is a straight road into the mountain, and it still goes down, the deeper and deeper, and the colder the air, the stream flowing out of the mountain stream is the best spring water for quenching.

Then the two started to rush back, and the old man sighed again and again along the way, "Your Majesty, if there is more water in Wuxi, I will be able to forge a batch of peerless magic weapons for you."

The old man said that the water there is good, Dian Wei Zhang Er was puzzled, but Lu Bu nodded knowingly.

Forging weapons, especially high-quality weapons, water is the key. The wisdom of ancient people and modern people may find it unreasonable. Most people think that water must be used to forge some magical weapons.

Actually it is true!Even in later generations, there is a scientific basis. Mountains and waters in different places have different proportions of minerals.

At the moment of quenching, the red-hot weapon will instantly absorb the minerals in the water, resulting in a qualitative change, that is to say, a certain alloy in later generations.

This is the wisdom of the ancients, which existed in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

ah ~ don't ah ~
When everyone passed by a forged stone house, there was a sudden mournful cry, and Dian Wei was startled.

Looking back at Dian Wei, he saw a scene that he couldn't believe. He saw five middle-aged blacksmiths shouting excitedly, but a group of guards crowded around the stove.

However, there were two barbarians standing on the stove. They were naked without any clothes, and their bodies were relatively plump. The guards were swinging long whips. There were even a few guards holding spears in both hands, and pushed the two barbarians into the stove. Under the opponent's struggle, the long spear stabbed continuously to prevent the opponent from escaping.

After seeing this scene, Dian Wei felt a creepy feeling, it was too weird, the guards looked at this scene indifferently, the two people burning in the stove roared miserably, but the five blacksmiths with bare chests watched excitedly watching this scene.

Lu Bu looked at this scene indifferently, without any surprise, but the old man stopped Dian Wei first, and said in a deep voice: "No, general, this is a sacrificial furnace!"

Sacrificial furnace!These two dictionary Wei are no strangers, it is rumored that famous craftsmen only do this when they forge peerless magic weapons.

Since ancient times, there has been a saying of sacrificial stoves in China, such as the most famous Ganjiang Moxie. The things burned in ancient stoves were all wood materials, and the temperature did not reach the melting point of molten iron.

Before the discovery of coal, the wisdom of the ancients was inconceivable. In fact, it is a truth to use human sacrificial furnaces and mountain spring water to quench fires.

The blood fat in the human body contains different minerals, especially when fat burns, there will be carbon elements. The ancients used it to increase the temperature of the furnace to melt the iron.

It stands to reason that animals are also fine, but in this period, old-fashioned famous craftsmen believed that only humans have spirituality, and the weapons forged can be called magic weapons.

Lu Bu looked at this scene, shook his head indifferently, and the old man beside him waved his hands dryly, explaining: "My lord, all the slaves are used, and they are disobedient slaves. They absolutely did not mess around."

Human life is like nothing in this era. What a mere blacksmith says doesn't take human life seriously. This is a troubled world.

　The people used in the sacrificial furnace and the water used for quenching are all scientifically based, not deified or legendary. Passing Water has specifically checked these materials, "Wuxi sword uses spring water in Wuxi, and water from other places is used to produce The weapon has no corresponding toughness or hardness.".

　　Brothers, you can check it out specifically. Everything written by Passing Water has been explained on CCTV, so I have to secretly sigh the wisdom of the ancients here.
