Clash of Lords: Civilization Game Comes to Reality

Chapter 128 Blacksmith Shop and Improvement

"Old Yang, how are the custom-made steel claws I want going?"

Chang Hengfang had a rather worn gun on his body, hanging on the bracket used to hang weapons in the blacksmith shop.

His eyes fell on the stern-faced middle-aged man standing in the center of the blacksmith shop. He took the crucible that had been smelting molten iron with charcoal at high temperature from his assistant, and poured the molten iron into the carved mold in front of him.

The red light reflected by the molten iron flowing out of the crucible reflected Yang Shi's face, making his hands and old face full of time ravines turn red.

He is not older, no older than Chong and Chang Heng, but the constant blacksmithing work makes his skin appear a little dry and cracked at higher temperatures.

He swung the hammer vigorously and dropped it into the rapidly cooling molten iron one after another, hammering the solidified metal into the required shape.

Then quickly put it into low-concentration salt water for quenching, and use salt water to quench the steel to obtain a relatively high and uniform hardness.

After completing these prefaces, the chief blacksmith of the territory finally breathed a sigh of relief, turned to face Chang Heng, and saluted him.

"Sorry, if I don't hurry up, this pot of molten iron may be ruined."

Yang Shi touched his head, which had few hairs left, and smiled sheepishly.

Chang Heng didn't pay too much attention. Instead, his eyes fell on the blue crystal minerals placed separately in the corner by the blacksmith.

These stones, which can generate extremely high heat, are very stable and will burn slowly only under sustained high temperatures.

Once it starts burning, it is extremely difficult to extinguish it. Therefore, according to Yang Shi's suggestion, sand and stones specially used for extinguishing are placed in each blacksmith shop. Sometimes water may not be able to ensure that the flames of burning crystal ore are extinguished, but covering it with sand and gravel can ensure that oxygen is blocked and the flames will no longer burn.

"The work that the lord mentioned before, Lao Yang, how are you doing here?"

Changheng suddenly remembered something and asked Yang Shi.

What he was talking about was whether the crystal ore could be used as a reducing agent in the current iron smelting in the territory - he still couldn't forget his hydrogen metallurgy.

"no."

His tone was unusually determined.

"Last time we used that kind of stone to replace charcoal, the whole crucible almost exploded. Fortunately, no one was injured. By the way, this is the custom-made steel claw you asked me for."

The head blacksmith turned around and took out a sharp short claw that had been ground. It was thicker than an ordinary person's fingers and much thinner than a wrist.

He couldn't quite understand the purpose of these iron claws.

Until he saw the spearmen in gray uniforms guarding the door, as well as the half-human spiders huddled at the door.

Yang Shi has seen these big spiders. They are raised in a place not far from the residential area. They seem to be called hunting spiders. Those responsible for raising these giant spiders are well fed and treated even better than they, the blacksmiths.

Yang Shi is not envious, nor are most people in the territory.

If they were asked to deal with these big spiders, Yang Shi looked at the slightly ferocious appearance of the hunting spiders and the thick black carapace covering their bodies.

Whether the treatment is good or not, it all comes at the cost of one's life.

Only those with great courage and patience are willing to take care of these large spiders.

As a blacksmith, his vision was so accurate that he could tell at a glance that the size of the spider's feet was just right for the iron claws he had made.

"Do you want it for us?"

Chang Heng nodded as a response to the blacksmith.

Hunting spiders are afraid of the high temperature environment in the blacksmith shop, and they prefer to stay in a cool place.

"Don't be afraid, the Scout Hunting Spider is very gentle."

Changheng smiled at the blacksmith, picked up a scout hunting spider, and naturally opened its jointed limbs.

Grab the two front paws and tie them with multiple hemp ropes. This will give the scout hunting spider new equipment.

The sharp steel claws increase the climbing and killing capabilities of these hunting spiders, but it will take some time for them to adapt.

He came here to confirm that the custom-made steel claws could be properly installed on the scout hunting spiders.

Although the increase in body size gives the scout hunting spiders stronger defensive capabilities, they are inferior to ordinary hunting spiders in terms of climbing rocks and climbing trees.

It can also increase weapon power by 8 points.

Better than nothing.

Return the huntsman to the ground.

The hunting spider raised its joints and curiously looked at the shiny claws on its front paws.

Unfortunately, their level of magic skills is insufficient and they are still standing still at level 0. Otherwise, Ji Lin would like to directly fuse the sharp claws into the front claws of the hunting spider and become part of the hunting spider's body.

Improve these little things into deadly combat weapons.

There are also some replacement knives to replace the bayonets they use. The armor of the spearmen has not been damaged. Those heavy and boring armors have been abandoned by them, which will consume a lot of carrying weight. One hundred people each Carrying this ten kilograms of breastplate means carrying a thousand kilograms of meat.

On the contrary, more than ten bayonets were broken due to excessive use.

Chang Heng picked up those long and shiny bayonets and made two gestures.

The blacksmith shop cannot forge gun barrels, but making these weapons from the feudal era can be said to be easy.

"Lao Yang, your craftsmanship is pretty good."

Chang Heng held the bayonet in his hand and praised.

"Haha, I used to make swords for the armory, so this little thing doesn't matter."

Yang Shi touched his head, accepting Chang Heng's compliment.

"The lord is developing new runes, maybe you will be the first to use them."

Chang Heng smiled.

He heard that his lord had put the research of first-level runes on the agenda, so that he could use those supernatural powers.

Maybe life in the territory would be much better by then.

They all knew the rune lights that lit up on time every day outside. These little lighting things brought a lot of novelty to this territory.
