MTL - Getting Simulated By The Empress Is Not My Intention-Chapter 65 King's Sword!
Chapter 65 The King's Sword!
At this time, Zhang Beichen had already equipped his new skin [Ingenious Workmanship: Zhang Beichen], and used the skill "Thousands of Trials".
The heavy bronze hammer was swung by him vigorously, and every time the hammer hit the iron embryo, it made a deafening noise!
The so-called 100-year-old steelmaking involves repeated beating and folding, and every time it is hammered for a period of time, it must be reheated to absorb the carbon in the charcoal and reduce impurities, so that it can be tempered into real "steel"!
"The prime minister has great strength!"
"Look at his technique, so proficient, it is difficult to practice it without decades of kung fu! The prime minister actually knows the artisan's forging method?"
"Is he really a swordsmith?"
Among the hundreds of schools of thought, swordsmiths are also among them. The former swordsmith Ou Yezi forged famous swords such as Zhanlu, Chunjun, Shengxie, Yuchang, Juque, Longyuan, Tai'a, and Gongbu.
It is said that Gan Jiang is his fellow apprentice.
Ordinary craftsmen can only forge ordinary weapons. And the swordsmith can forge spirit treasures!
Lingbao, that is, a magic weapon that can carry spiritual power and enhance spells and martial arts.
In the process of forging spirit treasures, it is necessary to constantly use spiritual power to temper weapons, and add some other natural treasures, and even flesh and blood tempering.
For example, the two swords of Gan Jiang and Mo Xie were forged by the swordsmith with his flesh and blood!
Zhang Beichen has already begun to forge weapons using spiritual power and hammerheads.
Bai Zang glanced at him, he already knew that Zhang Beichen did have the skills of a swordsmith, and he seemed to be pretty good!
On his side, the bronze material has also been smelted, and he began to forge a bronze weapon.
Zhang Beichen kept beating, and the iron embryo absorbed enough carbon, and after removing impurities, it has become a piece of 100-year-old steelmaking!
He again melts the billet and pours it into the mould.
The artisans have already seen something is wrong.
"Why is this sword model so long?"
"With this length, a cast sword is easy to break!"
"That's right, the bronze ware is like this, but the iron ware is easier to break!"
Because of the lack of toughness of bronze itself, the swords cast are generally short swords, which are as long as arms.
What Zhang Beichen cast was a long sword nearly seven feet long (about 1.5 meters).
The swords of this era are generally three feet in length, so the alias of the sword is also called "three feet", such as the Yuewang Sword, which is 55.7 cm in length.
Of course, there are also people who forge longer bronze swords, but such swords are easily broken. It is necessary to make the sword body thicker to ensure that it is not easy to break, and it is not easy to wield. In this way, it is better to directly forge a spear or a halberd!
In Zhang Beichen’s time and space, until the iron smelting technology matured, the sword length generally reached more than one meter, and the seven-foot long sword gradually replaced the three-foot sword!
After Zhang Beichen condensed and formed the sword embryo, he was still beating it repeatedly.
Bai Zang and Bai Mu and his son no longer pay attention to him, but concentrate on forging swords.
For the craftsmen's livelihood and their own reputation, they want to forge a sword that will absolutely crush Zhang Beichen!
I saw Bai Zang and Bai Mu cut their palms and poured them with blood, they didn't stop until their faces turned pale.
After waiting for the sword embryo to take shape, Baizang carved patterns on the body of the sword. These patterns have the magical effect of guiding spiritual power.
Zhang Beichen also mastered this ability after obtaining the memory of the Mohist practice in the simulation.
Zhang Beichen was also poured with his own blood, and Ying Yiren felt distressed when he saw it, and even wanted to stop.
Wait for the sword embryo to take shape, and Zhang Beichen is also carving patterns on it.
The sword embryos of Baizang, Baimu and his son don't need to be hammered repeatedly like Bailian Steel, and the shape will be faster at this time.
"Clanking..." Their swords made a clanking sound, as if they were about to take shape.
"As expected of Master Baizang, it seems that another sword is about to be born!" The craftsmen looked over expectantly and admiringly.
I saw the three-foot bronze sword naturally flying into the sky, suspended in mid-air, and around it, three sword shadows formed by sword energy were spinning and entangled!
Bai Zang and Bai Mu both showed joy, "The shadow of the sword appears, and the weapon is completed!"
After the three sword shadows were all integrated into the body of the sword, the bronze sword glowed with a dazzling light, and then dimmed again.
"The sword is done!" Baizang shouted loudly, he retracted the sword, and the three-foot bronze sword was displayed in front of everyone. The sword body and hilt are golden, luxurious and dazzling!
Bronze ware is not blue-gray at the beginning. When it is just forged, it is golden, also known as "auspicious gold".
For example, in the simulated time and space, King Xiong Zhitong of Chu is wearing a golden armor, which is actually a bronze armor!
People came forward to observe and saw that the sword body was thick and the blade was thin, the Dao and Taoist patterns on the sword body were clearly visible, and the cold light flickered on the sword edge.
"Good sword!" The craftsmen have been admiring.
Bai Zang said proudly: "Your Majesty, for the sake of fairness, this sword that I forged is called Zhan Tie, and it is a third-grade spiritual treasure. But it is extremely sharp, cutting iron like mud! Please take a look at it, Your Majesty!"
Bai Zang deliberately named it Zhan Tie, which means that it can cut Zhang Beichen's iron sword.
Ying Yiren took the sword and observed it carefully. She held the sword flower in her hand and said, "Both the weight and the feel are just right. Master Baizang is indeed a famous swordsmith in Qin!"
Hearing this, Baizang blushed. Bai Mu also looked at Zhang Beichen with a proud face. What kind of iron weapon, if it encounters their Zhantiejian, it can only be reduced to waste!
Zhang Beichen has also finished carving the pattern of the device at this time, and his sword has also been forged.
"Zheng..." Zhang Beichen's sword also made a clanging sound, flying into the air and stopping. Three sword shadows hovered, which meant that this was a third-grade spirit treasure.
Zhang Beichen only has three levels of cultivation, so he can only forge third-rank Lingbao at present.
The craftsmen were a little surprised. Even if it was only a third-grade spirit treasure, Zhang Beichen's strength in forging surpassed most of them, and he used iron materials!
However, the vision doesn't stop there. Zhang Beichen's sword is silvery white, which is the color of the hundred steel refiners. When the sword shadow melted into the sword body, a burst of sword energy shot straight into the sky, and a big hole was broken in the roof of the workshop. !
"What's going on?" The craftsmen looked at this scene in amazement, "Jiancheng's power is stronger than Zhantiejian?"
The vision has not disappeared, it seems to be attracted by the sword energy, the phantom of the black bird descends from the sky, hovers around the long sword, tempered with spiritual fire! In the sky, there is a thunderbolt descending, temper it for it!
"The old actor is here again!" If he didn't know that Xuanniao would appear once something happened to improve the fortunes of Qin, Zhang Beichen would have suspected that Xuanniao had taken his money!
The emergence of Baisteelmaking will undoubtedly greatly improve a country's agricultural, industrial and military levels, so Xuanniao came out to perform again.
"The black bird is quenching the fire, and the thunder is practicing the sword!" Baizang was stunned when he saw this scene, and murmured: "I have forged swords all my life, but I have never reached such a level! This is the dream of a swordsmith, and he has reached it!" !"
"One sword is successful, the country's luck will increase!" Bai Mu sat on the ground paralyzed, "Why is this so? This is obviously just an iron weapon, but a third-grade spiritual treasure!"
The craftsmen around paid homage directly, and some people were very excited: "The sword quenched by Xuanniao is enough to become the sword of princes and kings, this is the sword of kings!"
In the swordsmith's pursuit of the sword, there are three realms. The first is the sword of the man, also known as the sword of the warrior!
While holding a sword, you can kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds and become a general!
The second type is the sword of princes, also called the sword of kings. The sword holder can control the fate of a country, clear away demons, and guard one side.
The three are the sword of the emperor, also called the sword of the emperor. Those who hold the sword must rule the world. When the sword is released, the clouds move in all directions, and no one in the world will dare not follow!
For example, the "Tianzi Sword" inherited by the Qin State is essentially just a sword of princes, a sword of kings!
At this moment, everyone found that the swords they were wearing all made the same golden sound, as if they were worshiping the captain's sword!
"The sword of the king, holding this sword is like being blessed by the fate of the Qin State. How can I match this old man's cutting of iron?" Bai Zang felt a deep sense of frustration.
"No!" Bai Mu refused to accept, and shouted: "Even if it is the sword of the king, even if it can carry the power of the country, it is only an iron sword in the end. The real sword is not a decoration, not an ornament! It is to drink blood Killing the enemy! Cutting iron, can still cut it!"
Zhang Beichen's iron sword has been tempered. He held the long sword and said to Bai Mu: "In this case, let's test each other's swords and see if my iron sword is just a display!"
Everyone looked at the long sword in his hand. The sword is seven feet long, which is already exaggerated now! And its blade is much thinner than the bronze sword.
"It's so thick and long, and it's an iron sword. I'm afraid this sword can be broken easily!"
"A king's sword can be used for decoration. It would be a pity if the sword breaks after trying!" The craftsmen sighed, they had decided that the iron sword was not as good as the bronze sword.
"Bai Mu, don't hurt the Prime Minister!" Bai Zang urged.
"Don't worry, he can't hurt me!" Zhang Beichen pointed his sword at Bai Mu, and Bai Mu held Zhan Tie with a determined face!
He must prove the tradition of their swordsmiths for thousands of years!
"Ah!" Bai Mu slashed with his sword vertically, he clenched his teeth, his veins bulged, and with all his strength, he was bound to cut off Zhang Beichen's long sword!
Zhang Beichen blocked it with his horizontal sword, the blade collided with the blade body, sparks splashed, and there was a clanging sound.
"This iron sword has not been cut off?" Everyone looked at it in surprise. They thought that the iron sword would be broken if the sword fell!
"It's me!" Zhang Beichen turned his sword and turned from defense to offense. Bai Mu hurriedly blocked. This time, he didn't hear any sound of blades intersecting.
"Zhan Kong?" Bai Mu looked at the Zhan Tie in his hand suspiciously.
However, in the next second, his expression changed from doubt to horror in an instant, and dense beads of sweat appeared from his forehead.
"This... This is impossible! This is Zhantie! How could it be cut off by a sword!" He saw that the Zhantie sword in his hand had been chopped into two pieces!
The reason why I didn’t feel it was because Zhang Beichen slashed too fast, and the iron sword in his hand was very thin, so he didn’t even react when the sword was cut off, until a piece of the iron sword fell to the ground!
"Cut the iron, cut off by the iron sword!" The craftsmen were dumbfounded when they saw this scene!
"This is the sword forged by Master Baizang!"
"Even if it is the sword of the king, it is only an iron sword without using the power of national fortune and spiritual power! How can an iron sword cut off a bronze sword?"
"What's going on?" The scene in front of them has overturned their cognition!
Bai Zang squatted down, picked up the broken half of the cut iron, his hands trembling. This sword not only cut off his precious sword, but also cut off his arrogance!
"Could it be that the bronze sword is really not as good as the iron sword?" He muttered to himself.
"Of course!" Zhang Beichen said not only to him, but also to all the craftsmen, "Everyone has seen it! The sword in my hand is longer, more flexible and sharper than the bronze sword! Is it an ordinary sword? Iron is forged, but steel!"
"Steel?" Everyone was even more confused.
"Yes, steel!" Zhang Beichen said, "The iron you used to forge iron can only be called pig iron. There are many impurities, but I used forging skills to forge the steel. It is stronger, the material is cheaper, and it can be forged Unleash your weapons!"
"It is said that one inch is long and one inch is strong. Such a long sword almost has an absolute advantage when fighting against a bronze short sword! The armor forged with it is also stronger! The agricultural tools forged with it are cheap and easy to use!"
"Do you think it is better to use iron or bronze?"
Thanks to a person who can't remember the password, Yi Gu, for the reward.
