"Your Majesty, the newly forged weapons and armor have been escorted outside the main hall and are waiting for your Majesty's inspection——"

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but perked up.

"Bring it up!"

Soon, several guards, led by several palace guards, walked up to the palace carrying a heavy box. After putting it down, they bowed and stepped aside. The First Emperor could not wait to walk to the box.

Black couldn't help but move closer.

I really want to see what kind of iron weapon it is that can be called a magic weapon by this obese young man in front of me!

The box opens.

Just taking a glance, Hei couldn't help but his eyes lit up.

What was placed on it was a long sword with a somewhat weird style!

The blade of the sword is long and straight, cold and steep.

From his point of view, the whole thing looked like a pool of flowing autumn water, glowing with a cold light. With his eyes, he could naturally see the advantages of this long sword at a glance.

Compared with traditional long swords, it has stronger piercing ability. If the toughness is enough, it may be more conducive to chopping. Judging from the design of the sword body, the chopping effect of the ax should be taken into consideration.

"What a sword!"

The First Emperor bent down and picked up a handful. He just weighed it in his hand and couldn't help but praise it out loud.

This long sword, which looks a bit weird, seems to be easier to use.

"Bring me the sword!"

The First Emperor looked at the guard on the side. The guard quickly took off the sword from his waist, turned the hilt upside down, held it in both hands and handed it over. The First Emperor stretched out his hand to take it, weighed it each, then suddenly exerted force and chopped it down.

"嘡啷——"

Just listening to the clear sound of gold and iron, the eyes of the First Emperor and Hei beside him couldn't help but light up. They are all experts, and you can tell from the sound the quality of this new long sword.

The First Emperor couldn't wait to hold the long sword in front of his eyes.

The sword body is like a rainbow, covered with fine fish scales, but it is not damaged at all!
On the contrary, there was a tiny gap in the long sword handed over by the palace guard just now!

Even someone with a calm mind like him couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

You know, the guards in his palace are not using the standard long swords in the army, but the best long swords in the Qin Dynasty. They are all forged by the top swordsmiths in the Qin Dynasty. They are already worthy of being placed outside. It is called a divine weapon.

Just like that, it's not as good as the iron sword in front of you!
If you collide with the enemy's weapon on the battlefield, wouldn't it be possible to cut off the weapon in the enemy's hand with just a few chops?
"How much does this long sword cost?"

The First Emperor felt that such a long sword, even if it cost more than a bronze long sword, was still worth trying in the army.

"Your Majesty, the common people have made repeated calculations. The total cost of making such a long sword, from iron smelting to forging, is probably less than 30% of an ordinary bronze long sword..."

"Less than 30% of an ordinary bronze long sword!"

The First Emperor couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, then suddenly lowered his head and looked at the cold sword in his hand.

"really!"

"I dare not hide anything from Your Majesty——"

Zhuo Pei's fat face was full of pride.

"Actually, mainly because we have just started, our forging technology is not yet perfect. According to His Royal Highness the Emperor's original calculation, when the technology matures, the cost of this kind of long sword should be controlled at 20% of the ordinary bronze long sword. Inside……"

The First Emperor looked at Hei subconsciously. They all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Not to mention that the cost is so cheap, in fact, even if it is slightly more expensive than the bronze sword, it is still within the acceptable range of the court, because once this kind of long sword is used, it not only means that Da Qin has another magical weapon, but also means that This can free up a lot of bronze. Coupled with the continuous flow of silver brought back from overseas by Fourth Young Master Gao, Great Qin will be able to completely get rid of the problem of insufficient bronze from now on!
The impact is far-reaching!

In order to further verify the performance of this long sword, the First Emperor had people test the cutting ability, piercing ability, as well as the strength and toughness of this long sword.

The result is a complete victory over bronze!
The First Emperor asked people to conduct repeated tests on the Mingguang Kai suit, which seemed to have good defensive properties. The result also made him happy. This suit of armor was obviously better than the traditional armor of Qin Dynasty.

The First Emperor couldn't help but be in a good mood, smiling and looking at Zhuo Pei who looked excited.

"Very good. I am very satisfied with your merit in presenting the long sword. I will appoint you as the Casting Envoy. You will be allowed to engage in iron work. You will be promoted to the fifth rank. I will grant you a house so that you can settle down in Xianyang..."

Zhuo Pei's face gleamed with excitement.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness! But I dare not be greedy for God's merits. These long swords are all made by His Highness the Emperor's eldest grandson. Without the guidance of the Emperor's eldest grandson, Wei Chen and others, even if they wanted to break their heads, would not have thought that the world would be so different. With such a miraculous ability to turn iron into gold, it is even more impossible to forge these magical weapons in front of you..."

Seeing Zhuo Pei struggling to bend down and say goodbye, the First Emperor couldn't help laughing.

"Forget it, you are obese and have difficulty moving, so you don't need to be so polite."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration—"

Although the First Emperor told him not to be polite, Zhuo Pei still bowed with difficulty and performed all the etiquette.

The First Emperor ignored him and nodded with a smile.

"I will naturally be rewarded by the emperor's eldest grandson, but I will not turn a blind eye to the merits of you and the stewards. If you have merit, I will naturally be rewarded -"

After saying that, he looked through the "Detailed Explanation of Fine Steel Forging Method and Salt Water Quenching Method" brought by Zhuo Pei with great interest. He couldn't help but marvel at the technology recorded above.

Zhuo Pei was on the side, introducing the situation at every opportunity.

"At that time, Weichen and others asked their craftsmen to follow the emperor's grandson's suggestion and conduct repeated tests. Sure enough, they forged a long sword with sufficient toughness and strength. Weichen and others had already made the preparations for the ratio and temperature of the salt water. Detailed records..."

The First Emperor nodded slightly.

While flipping through it, I asked for specific details in detail.

In my heart, I find it incredible to think about my eldest grandson's whims.

"This brat has done so many good things without telling me!"

The First Emperor couldn't put it down while playing with the long sword in his hand, while complaining to the black manager beside him, and said with a smile.

"Your Highness is always like this, and all the veterans are used to it..."

The First Emperor was stunned at first, and then couldn't help laughing.

After the laughter subsided, he turned to look at Zhuo Pei beside him.

"When Your Highness taught you, did you name this kind of sword and armor..."

When Zhuo Pei saw the First Emperor asking, he bowed and said.

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness said at the beginning that this kind of long sword is different from the traditional long sword. The blade is straight and straight, and it is also capable of cutting. It is comparable to an axe. It should be called a sword, Qin Hengdao, and The armor is as bright as a mirror under the sun, so it should be called bright light armor..."

When the First Emperor heard this, he couldn't help but silently recited it in his mouth, and couldn't help but nodded.

"What a good name, that's Qin Hengdao, Mingguang Armor!" (End of Chapter)
