He has a specialization in the art. He is not a forensic doctor, so he can't tell anything from the corpse, but he can analyze the sword.
Since ancient times, any advanced technology was first used in the military.
Although pirates are not soldiers, they still rely on fighting to survive.
Many warriors spend a lot of money on weapons and armor, because it is not only what they eat, but also what they use to protect their lives.
In the feudal era, there was a saying that the poor were rich in culture but rich in martial arts. Children from poor families did not even have enough to eat and had no energy to practice martial arts. They could only fight for a future through reading and writing.
In addition to this reason, weapons and equipment are also a huge expense.
If two people are about the same skill, one has a sharper sword and wears solid armor, while the other only has a hatchet, the one with the better equipment will often win.
Pirates, mercenaries and the like can make money quickly, but they can die outside at any time.
Therefore, almost all pirates are very willing to spend money on weapons. Through this sword, Jin Feng may be able to see the level of Western technological development.
The long sword was placed in the coffin, so it was inevitably contaminated with some rotten stench. Jin Feng tied a handkerchief to his nose and pulled out the long sword.
This long sword is very different from the Central Plains weapons and grassland weapons. It is long and wide, and the hilt is the same as the hilt, so it can be used with both hands.
It's said to be a long sword, but it's actually more like a machete.
The long sword changed its color after special quenching. From the appearance, Jin Feng couldn't see anything special, so he stretched out his hand and flicked the sword.
Buzz!
The sword made a crisp trembling sound.
"It sounds like it's made of alloy, but I don't know how sharp it is."
Jin Feng asked Da Liu to find a wooden stick as thick as his arm, and slashed it diagonally with his long sword.
The wooden stick broke with the sound.
Jin Feng glanced at the cut surface, then at Jian Feng, and nodded again.
"Da Liu, take this sword, Qianxun, try it with the black knife, which one is sharper!"
Jin Feng handed the long sword to Da Liu.
Da Liu took the long sword, held the hilt with both hands, and bent his waist in preparation.
Kita Qianxun took out the black knife from his waist, thought about it for a moment and felt a little distressed, then put the black knife back with his backhand.
"Why don't you chop it?" Da Liu urged.
"Striking like this hurts the blade the most. I feel sorry for my knife."
Bei Qianxun said, pulling out Da Liu's saber.
"Why……"
Before Da Liu could stop him, Bei Qianxun turned his wrist and slashed at his neck with the black knife.
Da Liu subconsciously raised his pirate sword to block him.
clang!
One sword after another made a crisp metallic clashing sound.
"My knife!"
Da Liu snatched the black knife from Bei Qianxun's hand and rubbed it with his fingers distressedly.
After confirming that the blade was not chipped or curled, he felt relieved and yelled at Kita Qianxun: "You care about your knife, don't I care about mine?"
"It's not broken," Kita Qianxun replied, "Besides, if it's broken, wouldn't it be better if I gave you a new one?"
"Then why don't you want to get a new one?" Da Liu shouted angrily.
"I'm used to this one and I don't want to change it," Kita Chihiro replied seriously.
"Then I'm used to it, and I don't want to change it!" Da Liu stomped his feet angrily.
"We've finished chopping, what do you think we should do?" Bei Qianxun glanced at Da Liu: "How about we go and compare?"
"I……"
Da Liu shrank his neck and gave in.
Jin Feng ignored the two bickering men, took the pirate sword from Da Liu's hand, and looked at Jian Feng.
There was a very small crack where the black knife struck.
This shows that in terms of sharpness and hardness, the black knife is better.
"Sir, actually I only used 70% of my strength just now. If I had used my full strength, the sword would have been broken."
Bei Qianxun said, took the long sword from Jin Feng's hand, and then looked at Da Liu's waist.
Da Liu felt as if his feet were burning, and he jumped back several steps with his sword in hand.
"Bear-like!"
Kita Chihiro sneered and drew out his black knife with his backhand.
Holding the pirate's sword in his left hand, he flipped the black knife over with his right hand and struck the pirate's sword violently with the back of the knife.
The location where it hit was exactly where the sword collapsed.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the pirate's sword immediately broke into two pieces.
Jin Feng picked up the broken part, then took out a magnifying glass from his pocket and carefully observed the fracture.
After observing for several minutes, Jin Feng put away the magnifying glass.
Through this long sword, Jin Feng confirmed that the opponent's forging technology was far inferior to that of the black sword. The reason why it was sharp was because the pig iron used to make the sword had a very high iron content and almost no impurities.
This is not to say that the West has surpassed Dakang in pig iron smelting technology, but because the iron content in the iron ore of the two sides is different.
Iron ore in the Central Plains generally has low iron content and requires extremely high-temperature flames to barely perform the most basic smelting.
There is a large amount of rich iron ore in the Mediterranean area in the west, which can be smelted at only 800 degrees Celsius.
The wrought iron smelted in this way is very soft and not suitable for making weapons.
And if it is made of pig iron, the sword will be sharp but very brittle, and it will break easily when cut with someone.
The best way is to make an alloy, just like the black knife, try to be both sharp and hard.
The smelting technology of Westerners is obviously not as high as that of black knives.
This discovery made Jin Feng feel relieved.
At the same time, I am even more looking forward to sea ships that can sail long distances.
With a sea ship, he could not only go to America to search for seeds, but also take a trip around the Mediterranean.
The Western world is constantly at war, and the people are living in dire straits. As an educated and civilized person, Jin Feng feels that he has an obligation to help the Western people and let them learn the profound and profound Central Plains culture.
When Jin Feng was in school in his previous life, the subject he hated most was English.
If it weren't for English that lowered his scores, he could have gone to a better university for his undergraduate degree.
Although in order to graduate smoothly and continue his studies, he studied English vigorously and reached a professional level, he still didn't like it.
If given the chance in this life, he hopes to make some changes to alleviate some of the burden on future children in the Central Plains.
Of course, the West should also be allowed to understand Eastern culture. Jin Feng believes that they will like it very much.
But these take a long time to do.
"Sir, should we go to the island now and wait for them, or should we stay on the boat first?"
Da Liu asked: "If we land on the island, I will arrange for people to sort out the pirates' stronghold."
Looking for a group of pirates in the vast East China Sea is truly like finding a needle in a haystack.
So before coming to Jiaolin Island, Jin Feng had no intention of searching everywhere, but decided to wait and see.
There are no other islands for dozens of miles around Jiaolin Island. The wind direction has been unstable these days, so the pirates cannot run too far. The amount of fresh water carried on the pirate ship is limited. When the fresh water is used up, they must go to an island with fresh water to get water.
There are not many islands with fresh water. Jin Feng's solution is to send people to guard these islands and let the pirates come to their doorsteps!
