Chapter 34
"It would be great if I could look at the weapons made by other people. I can learn a lot from them." Ren Daoyuan seemed to be unintentional, but in fact he said softly, as if he was speaking to himself, but in fact Luo Zi heard it. Clearly.

Master Luo's eyes lit up, it really was a good idea.The place with the most weapons is naturally the arsenal, which is one of the most important departments of the Weapons Supervision. Even if he wants to go in, he must have a sufficient reason, and he needs Mr. Fang Zu's permission.Ren Daoyuan is a slave, no matter what the reason, it is impossible to let him in.

What's more, it is a very detailed job to observe the weapon making method, and it takes a long time to infer the craftsman's method from the weapon.In the eyes of ordinary people, a bunch of standard weapons are all the same, but in the eyes of craftsmen, each weapon is different.

With a flash in front of his eyes, Master Luo suddenly thought of a good place. Although it is not as good as the arsenal, it is enough for Ren Daoyuan's needs.What he needs is to learn other people's crafting skills and ideas, not weapons.

"Yes, in the weapons prison, there is a waste storehouse, which is full of discarded weapons. Although they are discarded, the methods used are the same as normal weapons, but there is an error at a certain stage. Only waste products are produced.” Master Luo laughed, this can be regarded as the utilization of waste.

Ren Daoyuan smiled wryly in his heart, the waste warehouse, this is completely different from what he thought, the Taoist fetus is very mysterious, even if it is in the waste product, it may not be impossible for the Taoist fetus to appear, but this kind of probability is far less than that of the arsenal.What's more, the stock in the waste warehouse is far smaller than the arsenal.Every once in a while, the waste products inside will be returned to the furnace, and used as raw materials to decompose and recast.

But Master Luo is right, if you just learn from other people's tool making methods, the waste products are enough, there is no need to look at the finished products.

No matter how regretful Ren Daoyuan felt, he could only pretend to be full of joy and complied.He didn't want Master Luo to see that something was wrong, don't look at Luo Zi who is not young, who is obsessed with refining weapons every day, and who may become a master craftsman, how can he be an idiot.

"Thank you, master?" Ren Daoyuan could not show any disappointment on his face, and he had to pretend to be full of joy. Ren Daoyuan sighed secretly that being a slave and being in an iron prison really trains people.

The abandoned warehouse is in the weapons prison valley, in an unoccupied corner, there are no guards here, no one is watching, anyway, it is in the weapons prison, even if you want to take out the things inside, it is impossible, at most, it is only in the weapons prison spin around.

Ren Daoyuan knew this place a long time ago, and when he was free, he came to the waste warehouse alone.The waste warehouse is full of dust, and only a few places that people frequently walk have been stepped on a relatively clean path.

The stuff here is full of waste products, but they are also graded.Ordinary knives, swords, and guns are the most frequently rotated.The reason is that such waste products are made of uniform materials and are all made of fine steel. As long as they are returned to the furnace, they can be used directly, which is more convenient than smelting with ore.

Of course, there are still some waste products that people don't like very much. These weapons are usually made separately for generals. The quality requirements are very high, and the materials are complicated, and most of them are mixed together.Although the material is better, it is troublesome to smelt. It is necessary to separate the materials of different qualities, and then smelt them to make new weapons.

There is no shortage of ores in Ferro Iron Prison. Separating various metals is more troublesome than using ores. Therefore, such waste products are often shelved and thrown in corners where no one cares about them. They are slowly covered with dust. inconspicuous.

Ren Daoyuan looked here for a few days, and slowly figured out the way. Ordinary waste products were rotated very quickly, and the quality was very average. on the waste.

The number of such waste products is not small. After hundreds of years, there are as many as a thousand pieces, which are piled up in the innermost part of the waste warehouse. In some places, the dust is half a foot thick.

It took less than half an hour for each piece of waste to be cleaned out, looked at a few times, and then thrown aside, but after all, the quantity was huge, and it took Ren Daoyuan a lot of time.

Master Luo's fine model was finally completed. It looks very ordinary on the outside, like two big spheres, but inside the sphere, it is extremely delicate and beautiful.

After the fine mold was made, the black iron water over there also melted. Ren Daoyuan temporarily put down the research waste, turned to master Luo, and added the melted star stone to the black iron.

This is not a simple matter, not only requires certain skills, but also needs to have enough strength.Star stone molten iron and black iron have different specific gravity, throwing it in directly cannot mix it evenly, it needs constant stirring, stirring while heating, the strength and firepower must be even, and adjustments should be made at any time.

Ren Daoyuan could never do this job alone. Not only did he need the cooperation of a few slave laborers and a few fireworkers, but he also needed Master Luo's personal guidance.Intensity, temperature, position, direction, among them there are many things to pay attention to.

After working for three full days, the fusion of molten iron was finally completed and poured into the fine mold.Master Luo is indeed a master-level blacksmith, and the cooperation between the two is perfect. When the last trace of molten iron enters the fine mold, the two fine molds are filled to the brim, and there is no difference.

The next step is to wait, the hammer is a weapon that cannot be used to smelt fire, and what is needed is not sharpness. It can only wait for the molten iron in the precision mold to cool down slowly. It takes almost a day for the molten iron of hundreds of catties to completely cool down.

After the molten iron had cooled down, everyone started working together and opened the wax model, revealing two purple-gold heavy hammers with beautiful patterns inside.

The hammer in the left hand weighs 180 jin, and the hammer in the right hand weighs 240 jin. The weight is astonishing, but it doesn't look too big.The black iron is more than five times heavier than ordinary steel, and the two hammers weigh more than 400 catties, which are no more than the size of a human head.The hammer head is not round, but oval, with non-slip texture on the hammer head.Ren Daoyuan couldn't help but marvel at it, the master is indeed a master, such a skill is rare to see.

This pair of purple gold hammers is not only beautiful in appearance, but also surprisingly heavy. Its material is even more unusual. A small amount of star stone is added to black iron. Its sturdiness alone is almost comparable to the solid properties of Dao tools.

Master Luo stroked the hammer head in satisfaction, and told the workers to get busy and install the two hammer shafts that had already been prepared. A pair of purple gold hammers was finally finished, so you can breathe a sigh of relief.

Master Luo was in a good mood, and Ren Daoyuan also relaxed a lot. Luo Zi, who was in a good mood, rarely gave Ren Daoyuan a few days off, allowing him to move freely, as long as he didn't leave the weapon prison.

With nothing to do, Ren Daoyuan, apart from adding a little time to practice every day, went headlong into the waste warehouse to study those waste products that may have been scrapped for hundreds of years.This is naturally also seen in Master Luo's eyes, he is more satisfied with Ren Daoyuan, this kid is very responsible, and knows how to make progress.

You know, after many slaves entered the iron prison, apart from being driven to work by the guards, they were lifeless all day long.For slaves, it is useless to make progress. The more capable you are, the more work you do, but it is impossible to get any substantial rewards.Even if you add some oil and water to the food, it is worthless compared with what you pay.

And Ren Daoyuan was completely different from those slaves. If he hadn't seen the iron ring around his neck, he would have worked harder than most of the craftsmen in the weapon prison.

During this period of time, Ren Daoyuan was also very happy. In addition to completing the task and seeing the master's method of making weapons, his cultivation base has improved a lot, and he is only one step away from opening up the earth's veins and entering the earth's steps.If it wasn't for his identity, which prevented him from being free, he would have even started to expand his veins.

Connecting to the mother of the earth and opening up the earth's veins requires retreat, ranging from three to five days to as long as a month, and must be devoted to meditation without being disturbed.Obviously, Ren Daoyuan does not have such conditions now.Even if he is on vacation for a few days, he needs to ask for instructions early and report late. After all, he is a slave, not a free man.

The progress in the waste warehouse is very fast. After all, they are all waste products. Except for the time to clean up the dust, each piece of waste will not take too much time for Ren Daoyuan.It took almost half a month to clean up intermittently. Most of the waste products have been cleaned up, and the items in the waste warehouse have also been rotated into two batches.

"Huh?" On this day, Ren Daoyuan was cleaning up waste when he suddenly saw a pair of hammers thrown in a corner.Because some time ago, I saw Master Luo making a pair of purple gold hammers with my own eyes, and I feel very close to this kind of weapon that is not commonly seen in the world.

Ren Daoyuan put down the long saber in his hand, stepped forward a few steps, and cleaned off the dust on the hammer.I don't know how long this pair of hammers has been thrown here. The dust on them is much thicker than other weapons. Calculated by the thickness of the dust, this thing must have been thrown here for at least a hundred years.

"It's so ugly..." Looking at the pair of sledgehammers, Ren Daoyuan smiled wryly. Not to mention compared with Master Luo's purple gold hammer, even ordinary hammers are a hundred times more beautiful than this pair.

Obviously, the entire hammer head was deformed because of a problem with the mold during the casting of this pair of hammers.On the usual oval shape, there are a few more edges and corners. At first glance, it looks like a monster with a long bag on its head. No wonder it was thrown here.

He casually tapped the hammer head a few times, listening to the knocking sound, he knew that the material of this pair of hammers was extremely particular, obviously not fine steel, at least half of it was made of meteoric iron, or even black iron.But this is not surprising. During this period of time, the waste products he cleaned up were all waste products made of this mixed metal. The single metal ones had long been taken back to the furnace.

Sometimes, Ren Daoyuan thought in his heart that if all the waste products here were separated, it would be worth a lot of money. Precious metals such as meteoric iron and black iron alone are not uncommon here.

It's a pity that separating the metal is a very difficult thing, not to mention him, even if Master Luo came, it took too long, and the gain is not worth the loss, otherwise they would not be allowed to rust and rot here.

Ren Daoyuan sighed, turned around to continue cleaning, suddenly stopped his body, kicked the hammer head, revealing the part of the hammer head pressing on the ground, looking at the patterns displayed on it, his eyes sparkled.
