Chapter 203: The Peak of Cold Weapons

"Dear friend, long time no see!"

A group of people came to a huge manor in the center of Dubai, and saw Tajir, a burly man with a big beard, very rough.

After the polar bear embraced him warmly, he introduced: "This is Wu Tianyuan, a Chinese treasure hunter, and my current collaborator!"

Tajir stretched out his hand and greeted in standard Chinese: "A distinguished guest from the East, who has admired his name for a long time. It is really better to meet you than to be famous."

Wu Tianyuan exchanged some pleasantries, and everyone walked into the manor together, drinking and chatting in the garden.The polar bear did not regard Wu Tianyuan as an outsider, and began to discuss his deal with Tajir face to face.

Tajir needs a large amount of gold, and only polar bears in Asia have the ability to take over the deal, so I invite him to talk.

"It's a deal, 5 tons of gold, and it will be done in a month, but I will pay the commission..."

Tajir said happily: "No problem, I'll give you [-]%! I don't have anything, just more dollars!"

The polar bear is excited, gold is a hard currency traded in the black market, stronger than the US dollar.After all, the international market is changing a lot now. If the exchange rate of a huge amount of U.S. dollars falls by a little every day, hundreds of thousands of dollars will be lost. It is still safe to hold gold.

While Tajir was leaving, the polar bear whispered: "Do you know why he wants gold? The situation in the Middle East is very chaotic now, and the United States has been using various excuses to plunder resources. I heard that the Arab royal family can't help the insatiable greed of the Americans. Secretly contribute money to support the revolutionary forces."

"One is to teach the United States a lesson and drag them to death here. War is fighting for money, and hundreds of millions of military expenditures are spent every day! Second, these Middle Easterners are not fuel-efficient lamps. They have long secretly cooperated with international speculators to attack a Put the dollar! Tajir has an inside story, the gods fight, and the kid suffers, he wants to avoid danger in advance."

Wu Tianyuan opened his eyes, and looked at the polar bear again. It's not easy to eat this bowl of food. He knows all kinds of teachings, gods, tigers and dogs.It is not easy for polar bears to know all kinds of news.

"Since you're here, there are distinguished guests from the East, why don't you visit my collection together?"

Naturally, Wu Tianyuan couldn't wish for it. This is the first time he has come into contact with the taste of Arab collectors, so he can get a good understanding of it, and he will have a solid foundation for doing business all over the world in the future.

"My collection is mainly in three aspects, one is master oil paintings, Picasso, Gauguin, Monet, Van Gogh, Henry, five top master classics!"

Tajir proudly brought two people to the huge collection room. Dozens of master oil paintings were vividly visible in his memory, which was very shocking.

"Now that oil paintings are good, it is safest to maintain and appreciate their value." Tajir sighed: "When the money is just a number, only top art works can give me a sense of security!"

The three of them looked at the oil painting once, and then continued to walk in. They reached the second largest storage room, which was full of cold weapons, and there were hundreds of swords of all kinds.

"We Arabs respect warriors the most. A good knife is a life and death partner. These are the top swords I collected after traveling all over the world for more than 20 years!"

"This is RB Mano Master's Japanese Onito Ichiro, extremely sharp, rare to see!"

"Napoleon III's command saber has participated in many battles!"

Tajir proudly told the story of each of his beloved swords. Wu Tianyuan saw that he and Ma Yun shared a hobby, and they could chat when they had time.

"These are all famous Damascus knives, especially this one, the knife of the legendary hero Saladin. It took me five years to get it!"

On September 1191, 9 AD, the main force of the Third Crusade, led by King Richard the Lionheart of England, gradually approached Arsuf, an open flat land near Jaffa, where two romantic legends would live. Where heroes meet and collide.

Another protagonist in the legend is the same mighty king, Saladin, the founding monarch of the Ayub dynasty. The world's greatest king and general led his army to meet Richard.

Richard readily rode out to meet Saladin. Obviously, the two had a heated argument over the ownership of the holy land of Jerusalem. In order to demonstrate to Richard, Saladin took out a veil and threw it into the air, and then pulled out his suitcase. The sword swung at the scarf, cutting the almost weightless scarf floating in the air in half.

This spectacle surprised Richard, who had seen countless famous swords and swords, and the accompanying knights. From that day on, there was a legend in Europe: there was an unknown metal material in the East, and it was forged from it. His sword is extremely sharp.And triggered the knights' endless thirst for this kind of sword.This mysterious sword is named after its raw material: the "Uzi" steel sword, or the place where it was forged: "Damascus" steel sword.

Emperor Napoleon had two real Mamluk servants by his side, Rustang and Ali.According to his account, the enemy cavalry wearing Uzi steel scimitars caused staggering damage to the French army. They just stretched out the sabers and cut the blades into our cavalry by relying on the momentum of the horse and the strength of their wrists. body, or pull the blade horizontally, causing terrible wounds based on relative speed.

After the encounter between the Seventh Hussars and the Mamluks, some soldiers were even cut in half. The wounds were also extremely serious, the back of the hand and the wrist were all severed, and the condition was very miserable.

Mamluks usually practice swordsmanship in the training room. Practitioners have to stand with one foot in front of the other and hold the scimitar high above their heads. They quickly chop diagonally and practice this movement repeatedly until they are very until proficient.Every time, a goat or sheep can be easily cut through the middle with a knife, and the blood flows along the blood groove of the Uzi steel knife without any resistance.It is said that an Ottoman general once chopped a cow in two with a single knife.

"Look at the mysterious pattern, it's so beautiful, it's simply addictive!"

Tajir holds the knife obsessively, as if stroking his lover. The pattern of each knife is unique and charming.

Wu Tianyuan picked up one and studied it carefully. Modern scientists have discovered through research that the unique pattern of the Damascus scimitar is actually composed of countless small serrations that are invisible to the naked eye. It is these small serrations that increase the power of the Damascus scimitar.

In fact, Damascus steel knife is called by Europeans. When this kind of steel is cast into a sword, there will be a special pattern on the surface - Muhammad pattern, so it belongs to the cast pattern steel in the pattern steel, which is different from the one formed by folding and forging. Chinese swords of welded patterned steel, or RB swords of hardened patterned steel.

The magical pattern on the Damascus steel knife is simply a symbol of sharpness and preciousness, and the pattern is simply the ultimate beauty of artificial carving.Because of the moving legend and its own excellent performance, knives made of Damascus steel have become the best in the knives collection industry.

"Unfortunately, because the Uzi iron ore in India was exhausted at the end of the 17th century, the cast pattern steel also disappeared, and the production of Damascus steel knives was lost. Although there are still people who want to use modern science to analyze and copy Damascus steel knives, But it all failed. Modern Damascus steel is just welded pattern steel, and this pattern is made for aesthetics and has no practical significance."

Wu Tianyuan's heart moved, it seems that the Damascus knife is also a rare resource?Is the Uzi iron mine really extinct?
