Chapter 51 Test Features
General Zhu was very busy. Luo Yi and Zhao Duo came forward and got the secret of Zhu's eight guns. After inquiring, he found out that Zhu Chongjiu's shooting skills were not a secret. In the Dingxi Desert Legion, many people were guided by the general.
The eight shots of the rich and powerful are only eight moves, with a big opening and closing, sharp and fierce steel, which is very suitable for fighting immediately.
Forget it, just learn it. Although it is not a secret, at least Zhu Chongjiu has proved on the battlefield that this set of marksmanship is very useful. As long as you change it slightly, it will be done.
Why change it? The gun used by Ma Zhan is a long spear, which is 3.8 meters long and is nearly four meters long. During the infantry battle, such a long gun cannot be played, so it must be changed.
After failing to smelting, and getting this fake secret, Renault fell asleep in depression. The mosquitoes in the southwest were quite annoying. It seemed that they were going to develop mosquito coils.
The next morning, under the service of Siwu, he lazily finished his breakfast and cleaned up. Renault didn't know what to do. The smelting failed, which made him not want to go to the backyard.
Forget it, let’s take a look at the reserves of Feiniu Duanliu Iron. I was anxious to get some samples before, but I didn’t look closely. I opened the God of Wealth and found the data quickly. The ore vein was very small, only 300 tons. If you count it, it was 600,000 kilograms. At one thousandth of the content, Feiniu Duanliu Iron was only 600 kilograms, which was pitiful.
The God of Wealth is very busy now, and the area and types that need to be scanned are constantly increasing, including gold ginseng, red ginseng, carriage, flying ox and broken flow iron, water lily, air stone, cordyceps...
Before I knew it, there were already a large number of resources that needed to be scanned. Fortunately, the God of Wealth did this, and it was nothing compared to the work he did on Earth.
The scan results were calculated well, mainly red ginseng, which had reached 3,549 plants, two places with gas stones, with a content of 400 kilograms...
I suspect that there is Qi stone. It is said that this thing can be eaten directly, which can replenish internal energy and help to practice internal energy. It is considered a specialty of the southwest.
Renault thought about something. He had never understood why Dingxi City was set up here. In his opinion, the real border should be placed in Huangsha City. From Huangsha City to Dingjun City, there are a total of 6,000 miles, and the convoy will take two months to travel.
In this desert, there are very few environments suitable for human survival, and no one is willing to come here to live, and it turns out that it is the world of sand thieves.
The Desert Legion is quite strong, but supply is a big trouble. It took too long to go there. The Desert Legion had to open land and farm, mine to make money, and open border cities. Renault could see that half of the supply of the Desert Legion was obtained by himself.
Staying away from the center is a taboo. What did that Emperor Chu think?
Nowadays, this seemingly desolate area is still very interesting. There are many wild ginseng and minerals, and the border market. These three things are worth the adventure of the Great Chu.
In fact, it is not a risky one. It is precisely because it is far away from the center and there are not many border residents. No matter who sits in the position of General Dingxi, as long as it is not stupid, it will not be rebellious. It is originally a local emperor, so what are the benefits of rebellion?
To the outside world, they have to face the forty-eight countries on the plateau. They cannot accept the desert legion. Even if they accept it on the surface, who believes it? Not to mention it, there is a lack of necessary resources and two months apart. If they really want to rebel, can they destroy the Great Chu?
It seems that the political form here is not as bad as he thought.
After thinking for a long time, I didn’t understand that I could also put the gun practice first. Now I don’t have weapons in my hand, and the people in the army are all spears, which are not in line with each other.
If you have nothing to do, then go to the backyard and take a look. With tiger teeth, you will slowly come to the back garden. It is still far away and you will hear a jingle sound. What is this for?
The furnace was still burning, and it seemed that it had never stopped. When someone saw Renault, he immediately went to report the news. Before entering the back garden, Cui Qing's face was red and she greeted her with dark circles.
"Sir."
"You're welcome, you didn't sleep last night?" Renault asked in surprise. The smelting failed. Why are you busy with not sleeping?
"Sir, I can't sleep, I can't sleep, the best Iron, not to mention that the students can't sleep, the blacksmiths can't sleep either. I really can't stand it in the morning, so I went to rest in batches. The furnace cannot be stopped, and the iron can't be built." Cui Qing danced excitedly.
What is it and what? Is it so good? Isn’t that steel?
Oh, by the way, I made steel last night, but the quality is so poor. Such steel cannot be used. What's so exciting about this?
It seems that Cui Qing has too shallow eyes. As long as it is fine iron, he will be so excited. Thinking about it, it is said that the fine iron here has been tempered by blacksmiths. This furnace is directly smelted, and it is really incomparable in terms of efficiency.
"This won't work, let everyone rest. Smelting cannot be successful in a short period of time. Just take it slowly and don't get tired of it." Renault has begun to accept the identity of a noble person. He can ask Si Ji and Si Wu to serve him, but he can't accept squeezing employees. Not to mention that the union will definitely come to him, he will be dissatisfied with his conscience...
Well, there is no union here, but blacksmiths work day and night, what should I do if I am tired and sick, what should I do if I am exhausted? Touch your conscience still exists?
Cui Qing was dizzy when he heard this. Can't smelting be successful in a short period of time? It has been successful!
Don’t get tired of people? Those are craftsmen. They are looking for a craftsman. Even if no one is forced, they are willing to do it themselves. They can make a craftsman weapon. Where can they find such a good thing?
According to the rules of the craftsman camp, anyone who can forge ten refinements is a craftsman, a fifty refinements is a craftsman, and a hundred refinements is a master craftsman. At different levels, the treatment is far worse, and a master craftsman can directly be on par with the camp officer and the general.
There are 1,700 blacksmiths in Dingxi Craftsman Camp, and only a few dozen masters. If the rules of the Craftsman Camp, all ten blacksmiths here will be promoted to masters in one night. Do you think they will work hard?
He followed Renault with a confused look on his face and walked to the furnace to explain: "Sir, after the furnace is turned on, as long as there is ore, it cannot be stopped. Stop it once. It consumes too much charcoal, which is not cost-effective. After the first furnace last night, I only refined the metal liquid you need. I have refined three furnaces. The metal liquid I took out is all here, almost one pound."
The extracted Feiniu broken-flow iron is only a small piece, and the color is dark. Looking at the oxidized aluminum ingot, you can see obvious impurities on the metal surface. When taking the liquid, the blacksmiths were very careful. However, the crucible with a 300-pound material was made of a long-handled iron spoon. The skill of being able to obtain this level is already considered good.
"Well, you don't have to stop this. I just want this kind of metal and let the craftsmen take turns to work. Everyone has been exhausted these days and will pay for overtime." Renault waved his hand and had to give it to him. Even if there is no union, people must have a conscience.
When Huya heard this, he nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, sir, I will tell the gang leader that she will hand overtime pay to the craftsmen with her own hands."
He has never heard of the overtime pay, but it is not difficult to understand.
Since Renault gave a random reward last time, Huya has had an extra job to monitor whether the teacher is paying money randomly. As long as there is a matter of giving money, he must stop him as soon as possible and wait for the tiger girl to send it.
In the eyes of the three Hu family, the gentleman just doesn’t understand money. With his temperament, even if his family has gold coins, he will lose everything in no time.
"Yes." Renault doesn't care, anyway, just pay overtime.
"What are you doing there? Is there a small furnace available? Who is the blacksmith on duty now? Is there a small crucible?" Renault asked a series of questions. This piece of flying cow's broken iron cannot be completed. It also needs to be refined and removed from impurities, and there is still experiment.
After all, it is metal. These blacksmiths are indispensable during experiments. Small furnaces are also necessary. You already have a pound on hand, so you can try it.
Cui Qing didn't know which question to answer first, so hesitated and said: "Half of the craftsmen have taken off, three households have smelted ore, and two households are forging the fine iron they had last night to create the weapons they wanted. There are small crucibles, and small furnaces can be used at any time."
"The fine iron last night was not good, so don't need to be beaten. I throw it aside first and then smel it later. Let the two craftsmen come to help and purify this piece first." Renault was a little unhappy. Why did he always waste time on waste products? Those fine iron couldn't use it.
"Yes." Cui Qing didn't dare to say much. He and those craftsmen had already seen it. The fine iron last night was the best. It surpassed the quality of hundreds of refinements when it was released. With a little hammer, it can create magical weapons.
The small crucible is ready-made, and the small furnace is also burned strongly. If you support the crucible, put the flying cow and cut off the flowing iron in it. The small furnace is very high, and in half an hour, the metal in the crucible will melt.
He took the iron sieve and took away the impurities on it. He went back and forth more than ten times, and changed ten iron sieves before he could catch them all. Renault knew that this was just invisible to the naked eye. There were still quite a lot of impurities in the metal liquid. With Dachu's craftsmanship, I'm afraid that this would be the only way.
After the metal liquid condensed slightly, Renault endured the heat waves on his face, tapped a small iron rod, pulled it outward, and the long metal wire pulled out the length of the iron rod.
Not bad, this is the most primitive test method. This metal has very good toughness and can directly pull out the wire. Of course, this kind of wire drawing is not done, the thickness is uneven, and it cannot be used.
Renault was worried again. Is this reliable without a wire drawing machine and manual wire drawing?
He wanted to draw silk and weave it into soft armor, and of course he could use another method to create metal rings and clamp them together to make armor. This is just a preliminary idea and needs further testing.
While the metal is red, cut a small piece with a stone knife and ordered people to prepare a huge stone. After the metal has completely cooled down, they will smash it with a huge stone.
With a loud bang, Renault quickly walked to the forging platform, feeling ecstatic. As expected, this is true. It seems a bit inappropriate to use it to make soft armor.
The characteristics of non-Newtonian fluids are reflected in this smash. The huge rock with a whopping 2,000 kilograms not only failed to flatten the metal, but also almost popped out of the forging table.
"Cui Qing, please make someone prepare to make a mold." After saying that, he started drawing on the ground. What Renault wants to make is a plate armor, and he wants to test the relationship between the thickness of the metal and the stress of non-Newtonian fluids.
Chapter completed!
