God Soldier Atlas

Old Zhou!

Zhou Shu was still in a daze, Sun Gonggong tugged on his sleeve and said in a low voice.

Zhou Shu came back to his senses, he glanced at Zhu Chuanfeng, and then said, Master Zhu, as a master craftsman, it's normal to look down on standard weapons, but if you say that the road to standard weapons has been exhausted, I dare not Agreed.

As far as I know, although Daxia's standard weapons are strong, they are of a single type. Standard long knives, standard long swords, and even bows and arrows are all the same.

Standard weapons are like this, although casting is relatively easy, but for the army, it is a lost change.

In my opinion, different arms should be equipped with different weapons. The cavalry has cavalry weapons, and the infantry has infantry weapons. The imperial guards and border guards are different.

Meng Bai nodded slightly, with a flash of appreciation in his eyes.

Zhu Chuanfeng snorted coldly, You are an ignorant child, what kind of army do you know?

Let's not talk nonsense, have you ever forged a weapon? If not, then just admit defeat.

Zhou Shu didn't know if it was his own illusion, he always felt that Zhu Chuanfeng was targeting him.

But think of him as a small soldier-casting apprentice, and he has nothing to do with a master craftsman, so they won't be able to make trouble with him, right?

Without thinking too much, Zhou Shu raised his head and pulled out the weapon soaked in cold oil.

As soon as the weapon appeared in front of everyone, Meng Bai and Zhu Chuanfeng stood up almost at the same time.

What Zhou Shu held in his hand was a seven-foot-long weapon, with a blade three feet long and a handle four feet long.

You can feel the lethality of this weapon just by looking at it.

In this world, including Daxia and several other countries, there are long weapons in the standard weapons, but generally they are only spears, spears and the like.

The long-handled broadsword has also been tried by a soldier-casting division, but it is not satisfactory in all aspects.

Zhu Chuanfeng is a master craftsman of soldiers, even if he didn't know how to do it, he can be sure that Zhou Shu's forged sword is a weapon that has never appeared in the history of Great Xia!

He can even conclude that the power of this knife is not inferior to the first knife of Bailianhuan!

Could it be that he is really a genius for casting soldiers?

Zhu Chuanfeng frowned and thought.

Show it to me!

Meng Bai said in a deep voice, as for the weapon cast by the apprentices under Xiao Zongshui and Li Hongyuan, he just glanced at it and didn't even think about trying it out.

Go on, be careful!

Zhou Shu said, throwing the long-handled sword casually.

you--

Sun Gongyi was startled, and his heart jumped into his throat.

This old Zhou, if you hurt General Meng, the three armies of the Great Xia will not tear you alive!

Mengbai laughed, stretched out his long arm, held the long handle of the big knife, then sank his hand down to relieve the force on it.

Zhou Shu raised his eyebrows. From the beginning to the end, he did not use strength beyond that of ordinary people.

What a heavy knife!

Meng Bai said, he stroked the edge of the blade with his fingers, then held the handle of the blade with both hands, and slashed a few times in the air.

The first sword of Bailianhuan is good for cavalry to chop and fight on horseback. This sword can be used freely on horseback and water.

Said with a pale face.

The general knows the goods!

Zhou Shu gave a thumbs up.

However, there are also disadvantages. The first sword of Bailianhuan weighs seven or eight catties, and it is relatively easy to use. This one is more than twice as heavy as the first sword of Bailianhuan, and requires much higher strength and physical strength for the user. .”

Zhou Shu added.

General, can you take a look at me?

Zhu Chuanfeng said in a deep voice.

Meng Bai casually handed the long knife to Zhu Chuanfeng, and said with a smile, Master Zhu tasted it, and Meng thinks that this knife is indeed a new standard weapon.

Zhu Chuanfeng's expression was serious, and he stroked the long knife with both hands, and a faint white light was emitted from the palm of his hand.

The biggest problem with casting such a long handle from ordinary iron materials is that the weapon is easy to break, and this kind of long soldier requires extremely high casting skills. It is impossible for ordinary soldier casting apprentices to forge it. Is Zhou Shu's casting skill already Is it close to an ordinary soldier builder?

Zhu Chuanfeng thought to himself.

He raised his head and looked at Zhou Shu, This knife is not simply made of ordinary iron, what material did you use?

Zhu Chuanfeng's tone was full of doubts.

If you use precious casting materials to cast standard weapons, it can indeed increase the power of standard weapons a lot, but that also loses the original intention.

Isn't it more powerful to cast imported weapons with precious materials?

For a standard weapon, what you want is a high-quality, low-cost, cost-effective weapon!

If Zhou Shu had used other materials, no matter how good the knife was, he would lose in this competition.

sharp!

Zhou Shu gave a thumbs up heartily. Although he didn't like Zhu Chuanfeng either, he had to say that he was indeed capable.

Just by touching it with one's hand, you can see the secret of this knife, the master craftsman really lives up to his reputation.

Did you really add other materials?

Meng Bai said in a deep voice, his eyes slightly disappointed.

If other materials are added, then there will be problems if the knife is cast in batches.

If the cost is too high, it is not a standard weapon. If the cost of a standard weapon is too high, why not equip soldiers with imported weapons?

It's understandable that you are young and don't want to lose, but cheating—

Zhu Chuanfeng snorted coldly.

Master Zhu, I won't blame you for this.

Zhou Shu shook his head, It's true that I did not cast this knife from ordinary iron, but you say I cheated, but I don't admit it.

Here, even if I want to cheat, there must be a condition, won't you give me the opportunity to search for other materials?

Zhu Chuanfeng looked at the two boys he left behind as supervisors, and the two boys shook their heads.

For the past ten days, they have been monitoring here, and they have not seen where Zhou Shu got other materials for casting soldiers.

Master Zhou, what's going on here?

Meng Bai said in a deep voice.

it's actually really easy.

Zhou Shu smiled slightly and said, Master Zhu saw that this long knife is not made of ordinary iron, it's because I used a new casting material.

This material is called Bailian Steel.

Hundred steel refining?

Meng Bai's heart moved, and he said, Is it related to the first knife of Bailianhuan?

You can say that.

Zhou Shu nodded and explained, The so-called Bailian is actually a casting method. I had a preliminary idea when casting the first knife of the Bailian ring, but it was not perfect at the time.

In the past ten days, I have been thinking and meditating day and night, and finally I have further perfected the method of hundred refining, so I have this hundred refining steel.

Sun Gongyuan curled his lips when he heard that, are you thinking hard day and night?

You obviously sleep soundly day and night, okay?

But he was also very curious. It seemed that Lao Zhou was going to win.

Then what kind of steelmaking, it sounds very powerful, could it be that Lao Zhou is really a genius like me?

Should I consider asking him to forge advanced weapons for me after he becomes a weaponsmith?

Sun Gonggong rubbed his chin, his eyeballs rolled around.

Your so-called hundred-smelting steel, is it possible that it is the iron material that has been processed by the method you said?

After all, Zhu Chuanfeng was a professional, and after hearing Zhou Shu's words, he probably understood what was going on.

Zhu Chuanfeng's eyes flickered, as if he was deducing the effect of this method.

The rest of the people didn't understand Zhou Shu's meaning at all. The method of hundreds of refinements and hundred steel refinements were too professional for them.

Even those Apprentice Casting Soldiers didn't know much about it.

That's right, the method of hundreds of refinements is to reduce the impurities in the iron material through repeated heating and forging, combined with certain techniques, and through special methods to reduce the carbon content in the iron material, so Repeatedly, what you get is Baisteel...

Zhou Shu used his own understanding to expunge and shorten the explanation.

As for whether Zhu Chuanfeng can understand, I'm sorry, anyway, he will not explain the specific joints to Zhu Chuanfeng.

This is an untold secret!

Steelmaking is not just simple repeated forging, it also involves the matching ratio of iron, carbon, tin and other substances.

Without understanding these, it is not so easy to refine a hundred steels.

Zhou Shu believes that even a master craftsman may not be able to find the perfect formula without thousands of trials.

Master will waste so much time on this?

Obviously not.

This world is different from Zhou Shu's previous life. All kinds of mysterious materials for casting soldiers are much better than steel refining, but those materials are expensive and only powerful fighters can afford them.

Master Zhou, what do you mean, you can make a hundred steels with only ordinary iron materials?

Meng Bai asked in a deep voice.

Almost. Zhou Shu said, General, do you want to ask the price of this knife?

Meng Bai nodded, and heard Zhou Shu say, Steelmaking is mainly expensive in labor costs. Calculated, the cost of this knife should be between twenty taels and thirty taels of silver.

so cheap?

His blindfolded eyes lit up, and he said.

It's still cheap?

Zhou Shu felt that his asking price might be low. He originally thought that the price of a Huben knife was only five taels of silver, and the cost of this knife was at most twice as expensive as that of the Huben knife.

You can make money selling ten taels of silver, let alone twenty or thirty taels.

After all, the labor costs of the Casting Division are almost negligible...

It's not bad. Zhou Shu pondered, We try to reduce the cost as much as possible, and we should be able to supply this knife at this price.

President Zhou is indeed the pillar of the country!

Mengbai's face was overjoyed, and he said loudly.

Master Zhu, in your opinion, who will win this competition?

Meng Bai looked at Zhu Chuanfeng and said with a smile.

The so-called one-hundred-year-old steelmaking is just what he said to himself. You will not know how it is until you try it. Zhu Chuanfeng said coldly, In this world, good-looking goods are everywhere. Who knows, this knife Isn't it a fake?

Master Zhu, is he saying that the general is blind, or is he saying that you are blind?

Meng Bai snorted coldly, and a sense of majesty emerged spontaneously. He said coldly, You and I, can't you see whether a standard weapon is good or bad?

Seeing is believing. Zhu Chuanfeng's scalp was numb, and he said with a tingle in his heart, Even if I am, I can't guarantee that I will be mistaken. Whether this knife is good or not, I have to try it!

Hmph, since Master Zhu has such a passion, I will accompany you to the end. Meng Bai said coldly, Today I will personally test the knife!

Master Zhou, does this knife have a name?

He looked at Zhou Shu and asked.

have!

Zhou Shu said sternly, This knife is called horse-killing!

Also known as Mo Dao!

There is another one tonight
