Chapter 172

"The firepower is so powerful, is this coal?" After putting coal on the road of the iron furnace, and blowing air continuously through the bellows, Dianjie was startled by the burning firepower.

Then he said excitedly: "With such a large firepower, I'm afraid there is no need for repeated forging. The iron ingots smelted in this way are of the hundred-refined level!"

"Look first, maybe there will be surprises!" Li Ming smiled mysteriously. After all, the result has not come out, and he really has no idea.According to his understanding, the melting point of iron seems to be around 1500 degrees.And the burning of coal with bellows seems to be able to reach more than 1700 degrees!

One is that the quality of the stove is not that good, and the other is that the bellows rely on manual push and pull, so the power is not that great.Whether it can reach the level of refining iron ingots, Li Ming has no way to be confident.

However, he underestimated the strength of the qi practitioner. When Xu Huang and Xiao Yao worked together, the bellows started to run at full speed, and the flame in the furnace rose by more than three meters.

At this high temperature, the iron ingot slowly melted, and then turned into molten iron and flowed out directly from the tap hole.Even though Dianjie was mentally prepared, he was very pleasantly surprised to see that the iron turned into molten iron. He immediately poured it into the mold as Li Ming said, and after quenching and polishing, he finally completed a brow sharp knife.

"Try it!" Li Ming picked up the brow knife and took a quick look. He felt that the quality was not bad. Unfortunately, the forging experience hadn't improved at all, which made him very surprised. Instead, the experience of the 'metal smelting' skill had improved.

"Okay!" Xiao Yao took it in his hand, flicked it lightly, listened to the sound, and immediately praised: "Good knife!"

As far as refining technology is concerned, this knife can be regarded as a very top weapon in this era. The key is that such a knife can be mass-produced.If an army is equipped with a large number of such knives, it will definitely be a nightmare for the enemy.

"It's just that it's not as good as I imagined!" Xiao Yao couldn't help complaining when he actually waved it.

"Why do you feel this way?" Li Ming couldn't help being curious. He felt that this might be the key to not gaining experience.

"I probably know why!" Dianjie took the knife over, looked at it, and thought about it carefully, "Sure enough, this knife is dead! It has no spirituality at all, and the internal energy cannot be smoothly transmitted to it! For ordinary people It is enough to say that, but for warriors, the inability to transmit inner energy means that the power of martial arts will drop!"

"Yes, yes, yes, that's how I feel!" Xiao Yao immediately agreed after hearing the words.

"Can't import spiritual energy?" Li Ming was curious, so he took the knife and felt it carefully.In the end, there was really no way to conduct the internal energy. The entire blade was like a whole, a big stone, preventing the transmission of internal energy.

He tried to transmit the inner energy to the maximum extent, but the knife kept buzzing, and finally broke into pieces.

"Why is this happening?" Li Ming looked at the fragments in his hand suspiciously.

"You have forged a high-quality dagger before, don't you feel it? The so-called hand forging is actually like this. It is not as convenient as direct casting, but the most valuable thing is the hammering!" Dian Jie laughed. He smiled, "The old craftsmen in the past often said that what we forge is not a cold piece of iron, but a life! I think the biggest mystery lies in the hammering!"

"Then try it!" Li Ming nodded, and with the cooperation of others, he heated the iron ingot red and started forging.

At this time, the forging skill was activated suddenly, and Li Ming completely entered the automatic mode.After a series of forging and quenching, a boutique-level Bailian Meijian Knife was finally created.

"Try again!" This time luck was good, and Li Ming was also in a good mood, so he handed the brow sharp knife to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao tried it with the brow sharp knife, and finally knelt down on one knee, and begged Li Ming: "This knife is amazing! It's even more powerful than my previous one! Not only is it sharper, but it's also good for internal energy. The conductivity is also very good! I beg my lord to reward me with this sword!"

Li Ming laughed out loud when he heard the words, and then said, "It's ok! It's just... is this really ok?"

However, Xiao Yao said very firmly: "Perhaps the lord can build better weapons, but the subordinates have not accomplished much, so they dare not be greedy! Besides, this brow sharp knife is far better than the previous one!"

"That's right, you're mature!" Li Ming patted Xiao Yao's shoulder, "Don't worry, work hard under my command. If you have good things in the future, you won't be treated badly!"

"Thank you, my lord!" Xiao Yao replied very sincerely.

"Okay, in the next month, I will continue to forge various weapons to increase my sensitivity to forging. On this basis, I will try to use more advanced materials for forging! This period will be very boring, you really Can you bear it?" Li Ming looked at the others.

"We're just starting out, and we can do what we need to do at other times!" Xu Huang and others returned, and the army was temporarily in a state of rest. Unless it was a fixed drill period, they generally didn't need to come forward.

Mainly in terms of military rations, the imperial court has returned to the normal configuration, one meal a day!Coupled with the fact that winter is here now, it would be a waste of life for the soldiers to train intensively in winter while hungry.

"Well, the next step is to increase the speed, I hope you can keep up!" Li Ming smiled, and then quickly put into work.

It wasn't until this time that everyone knew what his so-called soaring speed was.This guy has no problem of physical exertion at all, as long as one is finished, the next one will be built immediately, and there is almost no rest in the middle.In the beginning, Dianjie and Xu Huang were able to help out, but after that, it was Zhang Mo and Xiao Yao who could do it.

Watching the three of them forging almost tirelessly, the various weapons on the ground began to increase, and various qualities continued to appear, Dianjie and Xu Huang suddenly felt that they were a bit redundant here.

"Why don't we go to the military camp..." The two said this sentence almost at the same time, then stood up with wry smiles, cleaned up, and returned directly to the military camp.Anyway, if Li Ming needs to hire someone, he will send someone over to notify them.

In this way, Li Ming almost stayed in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs during this time, and hardly ever went home.Fortunately, Xun Cai was also considerate of Li Ming, and would bring food to Li Ming on time at noon and afternoon, and would arrange for four beautiful maidservants to come if he couldn't come.

The four maidservants naturally hoped that they could take the opportunity to be favored by Li Ming, but the latter was obsessed with improving his forging skills and naturally ignored the four of them.After the four girls tried a few times, they could only leave sadly.

After such a full month, the forging skills have been raised to LV6 (60% create the best products, and 40% create high-quality products).At the same time, metal smelting skills have also been raised to LV5 (25% Superb, 30% Excellent, 45% Normal).

So one day, when he was holding Meteorite and Bone Gold, especially the latter, he suddenly had an idea...

 Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!
