The best county magistrate

Chapter 87 Firearms

"Hahahaha, big brother, the third brother is here!"

Before entering the factory, Yang Xuanchen shouted happily.

Tiangong pushed aside the disciples surrounding him, took Yang Xuanchen's hand, and brought him to the operating table.

"Third brother, come and see if this is the steel you are talking about!"

There was excitement and apprehension in his tone.

After all, the concept of steel was proposed by Yang Xuanchen. Tiangong was really not sure whether the iron lump on the desk was what he wanted.

But after these days of continuous research, the current finished product has surpassed iron fines in terms of hardness.

Before traveling through time, Yang Xuanchen went to the steel factory for investigation, but he did not know much about the production, forging, and processing technology of steel.

He couldn't be sure that the lump of iron in his hand was steel just by looking at it.

However, from the color point of view, it is no different from the steel in the previous life, except that the iron bumps still look a bit rough.

"Brother, please explain the smelting process in detail, and I will discuss it with you."

This brings us to Tiangong's profession. I saw him talking about blast furnace smelting and converter smelting.

During this process, carbon, sulfur, and some elements that even Yang Xuanchen couldn't figure out were added.

Anyway, after countless smelting, failures, and re-smelting, this so-called steel was finally smelted.

Yang Xuanchen nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Although he taught Tiangong the theoretical knowledge, he had no idea at all about how much carbon and sulfur to add.

He had to admire the craftsman in front of him for his pursuit of his career. He was afraid that his persistence was far inferior to that of Tiangong.

"Brother, you have worked hard these days. Let's go to Youfeng Tower for a drink tonight."

After saying this, Yang Xuanchen turned around and glanced around, "Everyone has it, let's go together!"

After a burst of cheers, Yang Xuanchen carefully observed the iron lump in his hand again.

The steel in the previous life was an alloy, and other elements did need to be added during the smelting process.

Touching the rough iron bump on the surface, Yang Xuanchen couldn't help but frown.

He remembered that in his previous life, the steel ingots in the steel factory felt relatively smooth, but there were obvious pores on this lump.

"Third brother, what's wrong? What's wrong?"

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tiangong secretly thought that it was not good. Could it be that he still failed.

"Brother, is this the only one? Is there anything else?"

Without waiting for Tiangong's answer, his great apprentice Mao Feng took out two blanks with smooth surfaces and no obvious casting lines or pores.

"Uncle Master, this is forged by my apprentice. Take a look."

Taking the blank from his hand, Yang Xuanchen looked at it carefully and asked, "Is this the finished product after forging?"

Mao Feng nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, when I was forging the steel made by the master, I found that there were still some impurities in it."

"After forging and removing the impurities, it is just like the piece in my uncle's hand."

Talent, this Mao Feng is definitely a talent!

The forged blank in my hand now is quite similar to the steel ingot from the previous life.

Yang Xuanchen suddenly became excited, "Brother, Mao Feng, how long does it take to forge a weapon? We have to test it."

Tiangong waved his hand, and several other apprentices took out some swords.

"We have fought several of them in the past few days. Ordinary swords cannot compete with them."

"Even weapons made entirely of iron cannot withstand the attacks of these swords."

"If steel is used to forge weapons and armor, its power will be..."

Yang Xuanchen interrupted Tiangong and called everyone closer, "How many people know about this matter?"

Mao Feng smiled and said: "Only a few of us know that the place where weapons are forged is not here. We found another secret place."

Tiangong patted his shoulder at this time, "Third brother, my disciple is smart and thinks more than me."

"There are many people here, and if we are forging weapons, the news may be leaked..."

"So, we built a secret workshop in another mountain col."

Regarding Tiangongmen's caution, Yang Xuanchen saluted them from the bottom of his heart.

"Third brother, what are you doing? Get up!"

With a smile, Yang Xuanchen said: "With steel, our technology has made progress across the ages!"

"These weapons are just ordinary weapons and can be used for fighting."

"The improvement between masters is not that obvious."

Everyone cast strange looks at him. Isn't it enough to have such a magical weapon?

A steel knife can cut dozens of ordinary long knives without any obvious cuts. Isn't this enough?

So, Yang Xuanchen asked Tiangong to take him to the workshop where weapons were forged.

In the workshop, everyone watched him draw something on paper that no one could understand.

"Brother, this thing is called a revolver!"

"This is called the barrel, that is called the hammer, and this is called the bullet chamber..."

"There are spiral patterns in the barrel, which can cause the bullet to accelerate and rotate in the barrel."

"By accelerating, bullets can cause maximum damage to the enemy in a short distance!"

gun?

What kind of magical thing is this?

Everyone in Tiangongmen was stunned.

"Third brother, is this thing you drew called a gun?"

"What do you mean, it's more powerful than a crossbow?"

Yang Xuanchen nodded cautiously, "That's right!"

"Ordinary iron can also make this kind of weapon, but its heat resistance is far inferior to steel."

"Now that we have the steel, we can try it out and see if we can make it."

Then he pointed at the various parts on the paper and continued: "Maybe I haven't drawn it completely enough, but the basic ideas are here."

"As for the bullet, the raw material can be copper or lead. I will ask Zhang Ludan to study it with you later."

Then Yang Xuanchen pulled Tiangong outside the door to communicate alone.

"Third brother, are you really not going to use steel to make weapons?"

"It's not that I won't make weapons anymore. It's not the time yet. I'm waiting for someone."

After Yang Xuanchen said something, he sighed softly and continued: "If that person can come and help me."

"I will inevitably have to trouble my brother to make more ordinary weapons in the future."

Tiangong's eyes flashed, and he said in a deep voice: "Third brother, is there something unspeakable?"

"Tell me, brother, I am also a heavenly master after all..."

Yang Xuanchen shook his head and did not express his inner thoughts. He just said that he had a bad premonition to explain it away.

Seeing that he was unwilling to speak, Tiangong did not force him.

During this period of time, Yang Xuanchen had given him too many shocks.

Especially the battle between Shadow Moon Tower and the Forbidden Army.

At first, he couldn't imagine how thirty people could escape from being surrounded by the Imperial Army and Ouchi masters.

It wasn't until Yang Xuanchen told him about the explosives that he suddenly realized it.

Now Yang Xuanchen is not that interested in ordinary weapons, and instead lets them study guns.

Therefore, he firmly believed that this so-called gun would definitely be more powerful than the crossbow.

Patting Yang Xuanchen on the shoulder, Tiangong said: "I'll leave the gun matter to my brother, don't worry."

"I'm very interested in these weird things of yours. If you have any other weird ideas, be sure to share them."

Tiangong's straightforwardness, frankness and concern deeply touched Yang Xuanchen's heart.

Looking at his resolute face, Yang Xuanchen nodded deeply, "Definitely!"
