Gu Jinzhong was still not satisfied. He frowned and shook his head: "No."

"I want to speed up a bit to improve efficiency."

"The current drill bits are still not good enough. They break easily if you run them a little too fast, and sometimes they can't even pierce a hole."

"The blacksmith must make a hard drill bit."

Liu suggested: "How about I ask my brother's wife?"

"She knows everything. She can even make bricks and paper. Maybe she can also smelt iron?"

Gu Jinzhong was a little hesitant. He always felt that it was not good to disturb Lin Shuangshuang. After all, this was a task assigned to them by others. Now they were asking them questions. What was going on?

Seeing that he was hesitant, Liu continued to persuade him: "I will just ask a question and not cause trouble for her."

"If she really can, maybe she'd be willing to tell me if I asked her?"

"My sister-in-law handed over the crystal business to me, obviously wanting to help me."

"If we don't understand something, we should take the initiative to ask. Are we just waiting for others to teach us?"

"If my sister-in-law doesn't know how to do it, we can come back and continue to explore."

"My sister-in-law said that if there is anything, you should communicate it in time. Don't keep everything in your heart. Being good at communication can reduce a lot of trouble and misunderstandings. Don't always let others guess your thoughts. This is very tiring."

"You obviously want to ask, it's just a matter of one sentence, it won't affect her in any way, if she wants to say it, then she can say it, if she doesn't want to, then forget it."

"It's such a simple thing, don't think it's so complicated."

"I didn't ask you to ask, but I asked shamelessly, isn't that okay?"

"Maybe just one word from them can solve our current problem."

Gu Jinzhong listened to Liu's words, lowered his head and thought for a while: "I will go with you."

He can't just stay back in everything. A man should have the responsibilities of a man.

Liu was stunned: "Are you willing to go out?"

"Are you not afraid of what the villagers will say about you?"

"How do you get there?"

"If we go there together, will those gossipy women outside be even more talkative?"

Gu Jinzhong was silent for a while, as if he was struggling: "Others have their own mouths, let them talk."

"Even if we stay at home, we can't stop people from gossiping about us."

Liu smiled and said, "You finally came to your senses. This should have happened a long time ago."

"Come on, I'll carry you over." Liu said as she squatted in front of Gu Jinzhong.

Gu Jinzhong looked at the dark and thin figure in front of him, and could see Liu's original delicate and pretty appearance, and he felt a little complicated.

"No, there is a wheelchair at home."

"What chair?"

"The wheelchair. I made it according to the blueprint my sister-in-law gave me before, but I don't use it often."

Gu Jinzhong pointed to the room behind him and Liu saw a chair with two large wheels.

Although it was the first time she saw it, she could tell at a glance that this thing was a very practical and useful thing for Gu Jinzhong, who was disabled in both legs.

Although it doesn't allow him to walk like a normal person, it can at least help him get around without him limping or dragging his legs on the ground.

Sitting in a wheelchair, it seems that people have dignity.

Liu happily pushed the wheelchair out and helped Gu Jinzhong sit on it.

The moment the two of them went out, they became the focus of the village.

First of all, wheelchairs are rare things.

Secondly, Gu Jinzhong seldom goes out.

Thirdly, have Gu Jinzhong and Liu reconciled?

Soon, the villagers gathered around the two and asked them all kinds of questions, as if they had become rare objects.

"What kind of chair is this? Why does it have wheels?"

“Is this a wheelchair?”

"It's really detailed, did you make this yourself?"

"This thing is very useful. It can be used by the elderly and bedridden people."

"Liu, have you reconciled with Gu Jia Dalang?"

"Did Dalang forgive you?"

"Does your mother-in-law recognize you as her daughter-in-law?"

"Are you two living together again?"

"When will you invite us to your wedding?"

"You finally have a happy ending after all the hardship."

"Don't make trouble in the future. Live a good life with Dalang. After all, these three children are really pitiful."

"Yes, a stepmother is not as good as a biological mother. Even if a biological mother is not good, she will not be willing to abuse the children. Unlike the previous one...she almost tortured the three children to death."

"Aunt Wang, you are talking about stepmother in front of the child's biological mother. It makes her feel uncomfortable."

"That's right. Dalang was dazzled by Hu Fangfang a while ago..."

Several aunts and sisters were talking about this and that, and Liu understood the general idea.

But I had heard about these things before from the gossipy aunties in the village, and they had known about the affair between Gu Jinzhong and Hu Fangfang for a long time.

Although I felt uncomfortable, I didn't care anymore. After all, Hu Fangfang was dead.

Besides, it’s normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, not to mention that she…she’s also been married, so it’s even.

Liu sent the people away and quickly pushed Gu Jinzhong to the Lin family.

Lin Shuangshuang was a little surprised to see Gu Jinzhong. After all, she seldom went out.

"Brother, what happened?"

Gu Jinzhong was a little embarrassed and quickly said that nothing happened, then repeated his purpose.

By the way, he showed Lin Shuangshuang the hand-cranked drill he invented and demonstrated it to her.

Lin Shuangshuang understood. In fact, she had already thought of it. Drilling holes requires an electric drill, and the drill bit must be made of steel.

Ordinary iron drill bits break too easily.

But it was impossible to use electric drills in that era, so the hand-cranked drill invented by Gu Jinzhong was very good.

As for steel drill bits, they cannot be produced now because there are no conditions for steelmaking.

Firstly, the temperature for steelmaking is not high enough, and secondly, there were no refractory bricks in this era, so the conditions for steelmaking are simply not available.

If she could make steel, the weapons of the Dayu Dynasty would have a qualitative leap.

Any weapon made of iron or copper is inferior to steel.

For steel to deal with those, it's as easy as cutting vegetables or melons.

Therefore, Lin Shuangshuang shook his head and said, "I don't know how to smelt iron."

"But I found a few steel needles from a Hu merchant. Brother, give them a try and maybe they will work."

Lin Shuangshuang turned around and went to the room, then took out a few steel needles and drill bits from the space and handed them to Gu Jinzhong.

When Gu Jinzhong saw the thing, his eyes lit up. The thing was silver-white all over, and it shone with a cold metallic glow under the sunlight. It was obviously a good thing at first glance.

He immediately installed the steel needle drill bit on the handle, then cranked the handle, and soon a small hole was drilled in a crystal.

Then one after another, he kept increasing the speed of his hand shaking, and in the blink of an eye, holes were drilled in more than a dozen crystals.

Gu Jinzhong took off the drill bit with trembling hands and checked it. Not only was the steel needle not broken, the drill bit did not even show any signs of wear.

Gu Jinzhong was extremely excited. This was the drill bit he wanted. It was really hard.

With this thing, not to mention crystal, even the hardest agate can be drilled.

The Hu people actually have such good things in their hands. It seems that the strength of the Hu people has been underestimated.

If weapons were made from such rigid steel, the consequences would be disastrous.
