Simulation of all things: starting with copper skin and iron bones

Chapter 57
When they arrived at the blacksmith shop, Wei An ordered everyone to rest. He went into the forging room on his own, picked up a meteorite and rubbed it repeatedly.

After Wei An came to this world, he entered Zhang Sanqiao's blacksmith shop as an apprentice, and was promoted to a master blacksmith through simulation.

For smelting and forging, he is actually a real expert, and no one can match him.

He then began experimenting with different smelting methods to test this.

The night passed quickly.

Wei An didn't sleep all night. After repeated experiments and comparisons, he found the best way to smelt.

"The first step is to grind, put the coarse ore into the water hammer, crush the large ore through hydraulic action, and then grind it into powder with a stone mill;"

"The second step is elutriation, and the third step is pellet making and sintering;"

"The fourth step is 'brick ironmaking', mixing coarse iron lumps with charcoal, smelting at high temperature, repeatedly forging while hot, annealing, and squeezing out most of the inclusions to obtain 'pig iron'."

After tossing all night, Wei An finally decided to use the hundred steelmaking process for quenching.

He wrote down the detailed smelting steps, including every operational detail, and worked out a set of procedures.

The next step is to train those blacksmiths.

After breakfast, Wei An called all the blacksmiths to the forging room, and first asked them what good ideas they had.

A group of master craftsmen have rich experience and express their opinions. Some of them proposed the method of "smelting iron with a block".

It's just that the craftsmanship they know is very rough, and some steps are even wrong.

At this time, Wei An took out his own plan and asked a group of masters to study it.

"Hey, these steps..."

The hearts of the masters were shaken, from calm discussions to heated arguments, to quarreling with red faces and fragrant mouths, and finally they all showed expressions of admiration.

A morning passed quickly.

"Master Mihashi, I didn't expect your forging level to be so high. We are willing to respect you as a teacher."

Everyone was completely convinced and bowed their heads three times.

Wei An smiled lightly, and said solemnly: "Everyone is welcome, just learn from each other."

For the next few days, Wei An stayed in the forging room, instructing a group of blacksmiths on the specific operation. They all had their own skills, and quickly grasped the key points, and cooperated with each other, so the smelting process unfolded in an orderly manner.

Ding Datong also came to help, responsible for supervising work and preventing theft.

"According to the current progress, it may take two months just for the tempering process, and another month for forging the finished product."

"It will take three months..."

Wei An was not in a hurry, but he was worried that someone might not be able to sit still.

The Land Tiger Gang lost so many people, lost a son, and only one elder, what is Huo Xuanying doing?
Until now, the Land Tiger Gang has not issued a reward order.

Huo Xuanying seemed to be frightened, turned into an ostrich, buried her head in the sand, and pretended nothing happened.

"If it were me, a young sixth-rank suddenly appeared on my site, what would I do?"

Wei An made an empathy in his mind.

"Huo Xuanying will feel that he doesn't have much chance of winning. Even if he personally beats me, it's probably just a tragic victory. After both losers, Yan Sixing may take advantage of him and enjoy the fisherman's profit."

"In this way, Huo Xuanying will definitely not choose to fight me one-on-one."

"He has two choices. First, he forms an alliance with Yan Sixing to expel outsiders and ensure his dominance. Second, he seeks help from the White Lotus Sect."

Thinking of this, Wei An couldn't help feeling strange.

It stands to reason that the White Lotus Sect is the backer of the Tiger Gang. If the White Lotus Sect makes a move, all ten Yan Family Forts may be wiped out in ashes.

However, for so many years, Yanjiabao has been standing still, and it was even able to firmly hold down the leader of the Dihu Gang.

Why is this happening?

"Could it be that there is a powerful backer behind Yanjiabao?" Wei An couldn't help but tremble.

He wholeheartedly wanted to destroy the Yan Family Fort, but thinking about it now, maybe this idea was too naive.

"Well, no matter how strong their background is, as long as I keep improving myself, there is no strong enemy that I can't solve."

After thinking about it, Wei An made repeated plans and made two preparations:

First, smelt meteoric iron as soon as possible, and forge a weapon or protective gear;

Second, look for a genius to imitate another exercise to get rid of the traps on your body.

"If my cover door is removed, then a weapon can be made from meteorite."

Wei An thought.

However, it is still unknown how much meteorite can be smelted from more than 40 jin of meteorites.

"Let's take one step at a time."

Wei An didn't attack rashly, he likes to make a decision before making a move, and then make a move after he has full confidence.

He sat down, took a piece of paper and a brush, and thought about every genius he had encountered.

Brush brush!
He wrote down the names of four people on the paper, namely Han Yunzhi, Zhang Mingzhu, Chen Ji, and Jula.

Apart from Chen Wanyi, only these four people are most likely to advance to the sixth rank.

Han Yunzhi, Zhang Mingzhu: Blood Jade Gong
Chen Ji: The Lion and Camel's Magic Voice

涿拉: Chonglou Xuanjin

"The fate of Han Yunzhi and Zhang Mingzhu is closely related to the Yan family. As long as the Yan family does not fall, their fate will not change. It will be difficult for them to advance to the sixth rank."

Wei An secretly regretted it.

These two little beauties are expected to advance to the sixth rank, but as long as the Yanjiabao exists, it will be difficult for them to escape their fate.

Wei An sighed and crossed out their names.

"Chen Ji is a very special person with clear goals. It seems that he has a great relationship with Western Tantric Buddhism."

After thinking about it, Wei An found that he couldn't easily change this person's fate, and couldn't use it for himself.

After crossing out Chen Ji's name, he turned his attention to Jula, the king of ducks!
"It seems that we can only place our hope on Ji La." Wei An quickly thought about it, and immediately set off for Baishui City.

At noon that day, Wei An sneaked into Baishui City in the image of a middle-aged man, inquired casually, and found that the city was quiet.

The death of He Deyan and He Yuzeng father and son in the He family was kept secret, and the people in the city didn't even know that they were dead.

The members of the lower ranks of the Land Tiger Gang were also doing what they were supposed to do. They didn't know that their top ranks had suffered serious setbacks.

In the evening, Wei An disguised himself as Ji Canghai again, sneaked into the Dihu Martial Arts Gym, and knocked on the door of the master Dong Che's study.

"Hey, you are?!"

Dong Che opened the door and saw a stern young man standing outside. The old man was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses.

"Why are you back?" Dong Che was taken aback, hurriedly pulled Wei An into the room, and closed the door.

Wei An smiled lightly: "Master, I participated in the rebellion, didn't I cause you any trouble?"

Dong Che said speechlessly: "I'm half buried, I don't care about anything, I don't know anything, who can do anything to get me?"

Wei An sighed: "In terms of soundness, you are still a master at chess, you are a real dog!"

"Bah, bah, who's going to do it?" Dong Che rolled his eyes, "I know the destiny, and I do whatever I want."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes!" Wei An even flattered him, "Everything you say is right, I'm being superficial."

Dong Che waved his hand to stop, and asked: "Why did you return to Baishui City, what do you mean by looking for me? Let's say it first, because of the past, I will not report you, but I will not be involved in any conspiracy. In the water, don't have any unreasonable thoughts about me."

Wei An said speechlessly: "I don't have any unreasonable thoughts about you, I just want you to do me a favor."
