We are engaged in scientific research in the ancient martial arts world

At this moment, Li Yu looked at Ye Niu sitting opposite, suddenly stood up and bowed towards Ye Niu. "You're rude, you just offended senior, please punish me, senior Ye!"

Ye Niu looked at Li Yu who looked solemn and waved his hand. "That's all. You are born with poor qualifications. I don't blame you. This world is not without people with poor qualifications. If you really want to practice, then work hard for me for a few years and wait until you get stronger. I will look for other methods to see if I can help you refine your body. Of course, there is no free meal in the world, you have to work hard for me for a few years, otherwise, hum!! Don’t even think about it!!"

Then Ye Niu ignored the two of them and started drinking alone. After having enough wine and food, the two returned to their hut. After returning to the hut, Li Yu explained to Fatty Wang what he had just analyzed. Fatty Wang was stunned when he heard this. But he couldn't think of anything to refute. But if it is what Li Yu guessed. Then his uncle was really no ordinary person, and he might even be a member of a large family of cultivators in ancient China. Of course, these are just the two people's brainstorming based on the few clues they have. At this time, the two of them lit an oil lamp and continued to copy the previously recorded information. By the way, they also recorded the information and analysis gained from the exchange with Senior Ye Niu tonight, because starting from tomorrow, the two of them would not have any information. I have too much time to do my own thing, so I have to learn smelting from Ye Niu. So tonight, the two of them worked overtime and stayed up late to copy down the information they had. After an unknown amount of time, the two of them finally finished transcribing, extinguished the oil lamps, and went to bed to rest.

After a night of silence, the two of them were woken up by Aunt Mei early the next morning. Aunt Mei was afraid that Ye Niu would punish them for oversleeping, so she woke them up early. By the way, he also explained some small details about getting along with Ye Niu to the two of them, so as to prevent these two boys from being ignorant and contradicting this weird-tempered Brother Niu.

Aunt Mei actually liked these two dolls very much. Many years ago, she was kidnapped by a group of thieves, and her innocence was tainted by them. She was later rescued by Ye Niu, but at that time, Mei's innocence had been tainted by the thieves. My aunt just wanted to die and felt that she no longer wanted to live in this world. Later, he was stopped by Ye Niu, and then he followed Ye Niu to wander in the rivers and lakes. Not only did Ye Niu not attack Aunt Mei, but he also took good care of her. Gradually, Aunt Mei was moved by Ye Niu's care and let go of her past abuse by thieves. She deliberately followed Ye Niu through the rivers and lakes because of those nightmares. Later, Ye Niu retired to seclusion, and Aunt Mei followed Ye Niu to settle down in Donglan County and lived an ordinary life. Aunt Mei had always wanted to marry Ye Niu, but by chance, she heard Ye Niu's drunken remarks while drinking with his friends and learned that Ye Niu once had a wife, but her wife died tragically due to unknown reasons, so Ye Niu Niu will never marry another wife or concubine in his life. As for Ye Niu's feelings for Aunt Mei, he only cares for her like his own sister. Aunt Mei knew what Ye Niu was thinking. So in the end she stopped thinking about these things between men and women. Until yesterday when she saw these two children coming to the blacksmith shop, Aunt Mei's heart, which had been silent for a long time, trembled again. Although these two are just two dolls that Ye Niu's friend asked him to take care of, if the four of them live like this, Aunt Mei feels that the dolls are as warm as the children she and Ye Niu have. She knows that she and Ye Niu Impossible, but with two little babies at home, the smell of this home can bring her a little more fantasy and warmth. Therefore, Aunt Mei also decided to take more care of these two little dolls. After all, these two dolls were handsome and obedient. Compared with the boring life of Aunt Mei and Ye Niu in this shop in the past, it is indeed more comfortable to have two more children together now.

Thinking of this, Aunt Mei couldn't help but feel very good. After explaining these things to the two of them, she asked them to drink porridge in the yard. Breakfast was steamed buns and white porridge. After the two of them thanked Aunt Mei, they started to wolf down the food. Aunt Mei looked at the two half-grown children devouring their food, and her eyes couldn't help but become a little blurry. Isn't this the ordinary life she wants?

After Li Yu and Wang Qingyang finished breakfast, they went directly to the blacksmith shop. At this time, Ye Niu had already started to light the fire and warm the stove. Ye Niu glanced at the two of them. (These two boys are quite sensible. If you oversleep, see how I deal with you.)

Ye Niu took out a few pieces of dark iron ore from the side and said to Li and Wang: "This is iron ore. This is the most primitive form of iron before it is forged. What you need to learn now is how to use this iron ore Heating and dissolving at high temperature is not a simple matter. Put a certain amount of iron ore into this container and heat and dissolve it. Pay attention to the temperature of this furnace. I will now teach you how to check the temperature of this furnace... …”

After a long explanation, Ye Niu stopped his movements at this time, "Is there anything you two don't understand?" Next, Ye Niu also asked the questions raised by these two people one by one. Answered.

Next, the two men began to practice on the side. There are two large furnaces on the left and right sides of the blacksmith shop. The one on the left is a special furnace used by blacksmith Ye Niu to forge weapons and ironware, while the one on the right is specially used for smelting iron. Mine, a high-temperature furnace that smelts molten iron. In this way, the two of them slowly started their blacksmith apprenticeships based on the teachings of blacksmith Ye Niu. (Actually, as college students majoring in mineral resources, the two have a corresponding understanding of the processing and production of some ores, so it is relatively easy to get started with this ancient smelting method. Relatively speaking, they are taking practical courses outside of class.) Although at the beginning At that time, the two of them were still confused about how to control the temperature. After all, there were no thermometers or anything like that here, so they all relied on experience. From the beginning, the two talked about it on paper, and gradually entered into real work.

Time is like water, and years are like shuttle. This kind of life goes on every day, and more than three months have passed in the blink of an eye. The two of them also transformed from energetic young men with thin skin and tender flesh into black coal mine workers...

As time went by, the two of them dissolved the ore and gradually got rid of the ranks of novices.

On this day, as the two of them made new hot metal, Ye Niu finally showed a satisfied smile. This is the first time in more than three months that the two have produced a work that satisfies Ye Niu.

As time flies, another two months have passed. The two are even more comfortable with smelting iron ore. And the work efficiency has also been greatly improved. Ye Niu also began to teach the two the morals of iron forging. The two of them also listened carefully and studied, and each enjoyed it very much. After all, they have been living here in this strange world for half a year.

Slowly, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang also began to hammer out iron tools. during these processes. The two of them also used some modern knowledge to slightly adjust the forging method.

More than three months have passed. On this day, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang described to Ye Niu a forging method conceived by the two of them. (In fact, it is the kind of cutting and high-temperature multiple forging and smelting processes used in Damascus steel knives.) After hearing the descriptions of the two men, Ye Niu also thought about it carefully. In the following days, the three of them began to experiment in this way. In fact, the forging technology in this world is still at the level of forging a whole iron blank. It is unheard of for Li Yu and Wang Qingyang to provide the technology of cutting the iron blanks and then combining them for multiple melting and forging. So after careful consideration, Ye Niu decided to try the technology developed by these two boys.

With the research of the three people, more than a month later, the world's first knife that combines cutting and multiple forging processes was finally formed. After the unremitting efforts of the three people, the knife forged like this is far harder than the knife forged from a single iron embryo. It is no exaggeration to say that it can cut iron like clay. After all, in this world, there has never been an iron knife made with this kind of craftsmanship. Due to the number of laminations, the density of the forged knife itself is more than a bit tougher than that of a single iron embryo. Looking at the knife forged with new technology. Ye Niu was filled with joy. Because for him, this technology greatly improved the durability and hardness of the weapon. At the same time, the shape is also more shiny.

On this day, Ye Niu was very happy and asked Aunt Mei to add two more dishes so that the two boys could eat more. Aunt Mei also looked at these two boys. After this year's growth, they have indeed become a lot stronger.

There is a large elbow and several sheep's hooves in the dish. Li Yu and Wang Qingyang looked at the elbow and the sheep's hooves, their eyes shining brightly. This meal was the most sumptuous meal the two of them had ever had in this world.

After the meal, Li Yu said to Ye Niu, "Senior Ye, we actually have another idea that we want to discuss with you." Ye Niu sounded serious when he heard what he said. "Actually, you can ask more people to purchase different ores. My two brothers have a certain understanding of ores. There are some special ores that can be mixed with iron ore and smelted together to achieve better and higher-quality results." Ye Niu nodded after hearing this. He was an expert and he understood what Li Yu meant. It’s just that not many people know the types of minerals, and no one knows what can and cannot be added. These two boys can actually recognize the types of ores, so if they are left to do this, maybe they can actually do it. "Okay, tomorrow, you can follow me to the bazaar where I buy ore, and see if you can find any useful ore that you know." After hearing Ye Niu's words, Li Yu and Fatty Wang's eyes suddenly lit up. got up. (To forge steel, you need to add hematite, magnetite, limonite, siderite, etc. With these, you can make real steel. If you are lucky enough to encounter rare metal ores, you can also forge it. Part of the alloy comes out! As for the temperature, there is no need to consider this at all. As a master, Senior Ye Niu, it is probably not a big problem to raise the temperature of the furnace!) Thinking of this, Li Yu and Fatty Wang were happy. The two of them know the ore that others don't know! Silicon, titanium, magnesium, these are all good things! You can even make acidic solutions of sulfur, etc. With silicon, you can find a way to get the original material of glass. Once glass can be made, special instruments like beakers can be made. The future will be bright! ! !

In this way, the two of them slowly walked back to their room in an excited mood. Looking at their happy backs, Ye Niu and Aunt Mei both shook their heads helplessly.

Early the next morning, the two of them packed up and dressed up early and waited at the door of the blacksmith shop for Ye Niu to take them out. This was the first time they had gone out since they were a year old. In the previous year of junior high school, they both worked hard to learn skills from Ye Niu in the store and had no intention of going out. It was not until recently that their research results impressed Ye Niu, and this finally ushered in the first time this year. One trip out.

At this time, Ye Niu also slowly walked out of the blacksmith shop, and Aunt Mei followed behind Ye Niu. After Ye Niu closed the door of the shop, the four of them slowly walked to the market where the ore was sold.

Selling Ore: Dufang City does not specialize in selling ore, but there is only one place where you can buy ore in Donglan County. This market is located in the south of the county, more than 20 minutes away from the blacksmith shop. The four of them walked It took a while before we reached the entrance of Fangshi. This market is very big, and there are many strange things in it, such as various herbal medicines, wooden products, ceramic products, etc. I walked in the market for about ten minutes. After passing a corner, you may see many people setting up stalls with various stones placed on them. Seeing this, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang let go of their hands. They walked and identified carefully. After half an hour of unremitting efforts. The two of them also found more than ten kinds of special ores they wanted in this market. At the same time, the two of them also obtained the approximate production location of these ores from various stall owners. In fact, Li Yu and Wang Qingyang were lying when they bought the ore. What they really wanted was the approximate location of these special ores. For half-empty prospectors like them, as long as they knew the approximate location, they could really map the entire mineral vein. Find it out for you. In addition to this important information, the two also unexpectedly found tungsten in these ores. What surprised the two most was that they found a small piece of "pitchblende" at an inconspicuous stall. This thing is a strategic resource. The two immediately asked the stall owner for information, and learned that the stall owner didn't know what it was and was just selling it as a strange stone. In the end, after the two of them made insinuations, they confirmed the approximate origin of the pitchblende ore. With the news about the uranium veins, it was like pie in the sky for the two of them. Because if you use this thing well, let alone you know martial arts. It’s useless for you to fly. In this way, after the two people's persuasion, Ye Niu also bought the more than ten kinds of ores selected by the two of them as samples, and then sorted them when he returned to the store.

In this way, the four of them took a few large bags of ore and slowly returned to the store. After returning to the shop, Ye Niu specially tidied up the room where the iron ore was originally stored and cleared a small area. He also asked Aunt Mei to get a wooden shelf and asked the two of them to classify and label these ore samples. Both Li Yu and Wang Qingyang were careful and put some of the most valuable special rare metal mines at the bottom of the shelf. He lied that he wouldn't need it for the time being, and then sorted out the ores needed for smelting steel. This busy work lasted until evening.

Ye Niu felt very happy when he saw the two of them looking serious. With a wave of his hand, Amei, don’t be too busy today. Let’s clean up and go to Zuixianglou for dinner later.

After hearing Ye Niu's words, the work that Li and Wang were doing stopped. Looking at Aunt Mei and Ye Niu expectantly. Ye Niu and Aunt Mei couldn't help but smile when they saw the excited faces of these two boys.

In this way, the four of them left the blacksmith shop again and went straight to Zuixiang Tower in the center of the city. Zuixianglou is located in the inner city of Donglan County. It is one of the best restaurants in Donglan County. Donglan County is divided into outer city and inner city. In the east of the outer city, some troops from the Roujian Kingdom were stationed, and it was also a gathering place for various shops. The inner city is where some officials, restaurants, brothels, and treasure shops are located. It was the first time for Li Yu and Wang Qingyang to come to the inner city, and it was also the first time they saw the prosperity and extravagance of this world.

It gave them two college students from the 21st century a new understanding of China's 5000-year cultural heritage.

Passed through the inner city gate. The four of them were strolling on the streets of the inner city. The streets of the inner city were particularly clean, because horses were not allowed in the inner city. Even the carriages of wealthy families were not allowed to ride on the main roads. The wealthy families in the inner city were not allowed to ride on the main roads. , if a carriage is needed, the carriage can only follow the prescribed route and walk on the path under the city wall of the inner city. It is not allowed to appear on the three main roads in the inner city. I walked on the bluestone road in the inner city for more than ten minutes. The four of them arrived at a four-story pavilion built with a wooden structure. The signboard at the door of the pavilion was eye-catching, with several golden characters written on it, "Zuixiang Tower". Ye Niu led the three of them into the pavilion, and as soon as they entered the door. There was a well-dressed middle-aged man with a bloated body who came forward to greet him. "Hey, Mr. Niu, what brought you here? Do you think this is an old rule?" Ye Niu nodded slightly, and then strode towards the stairs in the middle of the pavilion. The middle-aged man saw Ye Niu walked forward, and then nodded to Aunt Mei and Wang Li with a smile on his face. "Ms. Mei, who are these two people behind you?" Aunt Mei didn't even look at the man. "They are Ah, disciples of Brother Niu." Upon hearing this, the man immediately bowed his hands to Li Yu and Wang Qingyang, "Oh, it turns out they are two young masters. The younger one, Zhang Quanfu, is the shopkeeper of Zuixianglou. I have met the two young masters. You are a young master." Li Yu and Wang Qingyang looked at each other, and at the same time smiled slightly at the shopkeeper named Zhang Quanfu and nodded.

Then several people, led by the shopkeeper, arrived at a private room on the third floor. As soon as he sat down, Ye Niu said, "Two roasted chickens, one braised fish, one big elbow, two cold dishes, two more pots of jade ice roast, and a large basin of rice." After that, he glanced at the shopkeeper's , and stopped talking. "Okay, please wait a moment, the food will be here soon." Then shopkeeper Zhang also slowly exited the private room. After a while, about ten or ten minutes passed, and the dishes were served one after another. Ye Niu opened a pot of Yubingshao and poured a small cup for everyone. "It's been a year since you two came to my place. I know that you two really want to practice, but you also know that your qualifications are not as good as others, but you still work hard to work for me here. I don't like your serious look. Looking at it, speaking of it, you have been coming to my place for a year, and I have not officially welcomed you." "Today, Aunt Mei is also here. Today, I am here to formally welcome you two to this blacksmith shop. Become a member of this blacksmith shop. You can regard this as your own home. I know that you come from far away, and I also know that it is not easy for you to go back at this moment, but it doesn't matter. In my place, as long as you work hard , it won’t freeze you, and it won’t make you hungry.” After Ye Niu said this, he raised his glass and drank it all. Aunt Mei also took a sip. Li Yu and Wang Qingyang also drank the wine in one gulp. Just after the wine entered my throat. The two of them suddenly had an idea in their minds. (What the hell is this? Isn’t this just rice wine for cooking? It tastes terrible.) Fatty Wang grinned. Glancing at Li Yu, Li Yu also looked at Fatty Wang with a painful look on his face. (The wine in this world is not that good. It seems that it is necessary to discuss the wine-making plan with the fat man. Maybe we can make a big fortune. If we can’t become immortals, at least we two brothers can be rich and wealthy, with a house full of wives and concubines. But it’s okay!)

Ye Niu looked at the expressions of these two people with a strange look on his face. "Two little kids who don't know how to drink, don't waste it if you don't know how to drink. This Yubingshao is the most famous shochu in Zuixianglou. It costs several silver coins for a pot. I don't know..." Li Yu and Wang Qingyang looked at each other, There was no sound. (Old man! I’m afraid you don’t know what Liuliangye is, what Spear Moss is, what Cordon Bleu is called... Humph (︶︹︺) I don’t know. )
