In Zhennan Fort, the largest blacksmith shop, Zhao Hao was staring at the pieces of Kui cowhide in front of him in a daze.

This thing was so hard that it was no problem to cut it into a small piece with a magic weapon. However, it was quite difficult to cut it into long and even strips. He tried several times without success.

If you don't soak this stuff until it becomes soft, you really can't make it into a bowstring.

The problem was that he had tried almost everything he could, including water, milk, goat's milk, kumis, etc., and he had tried every solution he could find, but the Kui cowhide would not become soft after soaking it.

How to do it?

At this moment, he really had a headache.

When he was in a daze, there was a sudden "crack" sound next to him, and then, there was a flash of fire, and the entire blacksmith shop was illuminated.

What's going on? Is there a fire in the blacksmith shop?

Of course not, this is Niu Sanzheng tempering the weapons.

Now, the forging technology of Haotian Territory is not generally developed. Under the leadership of Zhao Hao, they have almost reached the peak level equivalent to the modern era.

For example, they have developed many quenching methods.

Weapons are tempered with butter.

Weapons that have been quenched in butter are not only extremely sharp and not easy to rust, but also have exquisite patterns. They are popular items wherever they go.

Zhao Hao turned his head and looked at the "flaming knife" in Niu San's hand, and his heart couldn't help but move.

This Kui cowhide may become softer if soaked in butter.

Because when cowhide becomes hard, it not only loses water, but the oil inside is also almost dry. Water solvents cannot penetrate, but oil may penetrate.

Thinking of this, he did not hesitate to pick up a piece of Kui cowhide, walked over, and threw it into the butter that had just dissolved due to the high temperature.

At this time, the weather had begun to get colder, and the butter quickly turned into a viscous liquid. The small piece of Kui cowhide was embedded in the butter and disappeared, but Zhao Hao was not worried at all.

You know, when he soaked Kui cowhide with water, milk, goat's milk, kumiss, etc., he soaked it for more than half a day, so the butter naturally took longer.

After about an hour, he put his hand into the butter and fished out the Kui cowhide.

At this time, the Kui cowhide turned out to be really soft. Although it was not as soft as when it was fresh, it was not as hard as an iron plate. At least, it could be bent with a little force.

This proves that butter can really soften Kui cowhide!

Zhao Hao was stunned for a while while twisting the Kui cowhide in his hand, and then shouted excitedly: "Niu San, get a big bucket of butter."

this!

Niu San on the side couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.

Butter is not milk. As for milk, it doesn't matter if you ask for a few barrels, because milk is easy to produce. You only need to raise a group of cows to milk it.

This kind of butter is not easy to produce. Even a cow can't produce much butter.

Fortunately, this is Zhennan Fort, and Haotian is sending most of his valuable goods here. Otherwise, he really wouldn't be able to get a big bucket of butter.

He was just stunned for a moment, then raised his hand and called a few blacksmiths, asking them to collect a large bucket of butter from other blacksmith shops.

Not long after, several blacksmiths came over carrying a large bucket of butter, and at this time, Zhao Hao also brought a piece of Kui cowhide.

How to soak Kui cowhide, which is as hard as iron plate?

You know, a piece of Kui cowhide is nearly ten meters long and wide. Not to mention a large bucket, even the largest pot cannot be stuffed into it, because it is so hard that it cannot be bent, let alone rolled into a ball.

The reason why Zhao Hao asked someone to bring a big bucket of butter over was because he naturally had an idea.

He put the big bucket directly on the coal fire. After the butter inside was completely melted, he poured the whole bucket of butter onto the Kui cowhide.

If this were a bucket of water, it would probably flow to the ground quickly, but butter would not, because the butter does not flow fast enough to solidify.

When a bucket of butter is poured, it has already begun to solidify and cannot flow even before it is completely spread on the Kui cowhide.

Upon seeing this, Zhao Hao quickly took a brush and evenly brushed the butter all over the Kui cowhide.

The next step is to wait. As long as the Kui cowhide softens to the point where it can be bent at will, it shouldn't be very difficult to cut.

About two hours later, Zhao Hao picked up the Kui cowhide on the ground and tried it. The whole cowhide was indeed soft enough.

He quickly pulled out the magic weapon and cut it with a single stroke. With a "pop" sound, a large piece of Kui cowhide was immediately cut off, and the edge became straight.

At this time, his knife skills were not perfect. Although he could not dance like a flower, his accuracy was quite frightening. Cutting a straight line was just a trivial matter to him.

After he flattened one end of the Kui cowhide, he took a small wooden cube that had been prepared and marked the flattened edge with a charcoal pen, drawing an even grid about the width of a finger.

Immediately afterwards, he waved the magic weapon and started whittling it hard.

"Swish, swish, swish," a flash of knife light flashed by, and he quickly cut the entire piece of Kui cowhide into a pile of thin strips about the width of a finger.

He took the ironwood bow that had already been bent, roughly measured the length, and then cut it a few times, quickly cutting out twenty-seven long strips of the same length.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up these long strips, arranged them in groups of three, and braided them into a twist shape, and then tied them to the nine ironwood bows. The nine strong bows were almost completed.

Of course, the strong bow cannot be used at this time because the Kui cowhide is still soft and needs to be completely hardened.

This is not difficult, just put the strong bow in the sun for a few days.

The strong bow had just been finished, and the nearest elder from Luobei had already arrived at Zhennan Fort.

After Zhao Hao received the news, he immediately went over with a strong bow.

He couldn't wait to try the archery skills of these elders.

Elder Luobei had just entered the North City Gate. He was strolling down the largest street in Zhennan Fort with his mouth open. Zhao Hao had already led a group of personal guards to greet him.

The two of them can be considered old acquaintances, and after meeting, the process of getting to know each other was saved.

After Zhao Hao exchanged a few pleasantries with the elders of Luobei, he asked awkwardly: "Luobei, are you tired after traveling such a long way?"

Elder Luobei thought Zhao Hao was being polite. He quickly shook his head and said, "I'm not tired, I'm not tired. I have horses now, so I'm not tired at all from the journey."

That's good.

Zhao Hao handed over the newly made strong bow without hesitation and said excitedly: "How about you try this strong bow."

this!

Elder Luobei took over the strong bow and felt a little stupid.

It's not that he can't shoot arrows. Bows and arrows have long been popular in South China, so naturally he can shoot them long ago.

Question, this was on the street, what was he shooting at?

Zhao Hao understood immediately when he saw Elder Luobei looking around blankly.

What is a good target on this street?

A fixed target will definitely not work. At the speed of a mythical beast, it won't know how far it has traveled before you shoot the arrow.

You have to find a target that moves faster.

He raised his head and looked around, and out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly spotted a big bird flying past in the sky not far away.

This is a good goal.

He quickly pulled out an iron arrow and put it in Elder Sailuobei's hand. Then he raised his finger and pointed at the big bird and said, "How about shooting that one."

Elder Luobei looked up and suddenly had a troubled look on his face.

The big bird was probably not even half a mile away from them!

At such a long distance, it was still a flying bird, so he really wasn't sure.

However, he had no time to hesitate at this time, because as soon as he hesitated, the big bird flew away.

He could only use all his strength, quickly drew the long bow, and shot an arrow with a "whoosh".

"Quack, quack," came two long sounds, seemingly mocking him.

He actually missed!

When Zhao Hao saw this, he couldn't help but frown.
Chapter completed!
