"Do you want to give it a try?" Mrs. Xu was a little excited. There were very few swordsmiths among the great masters of the Mohist family in the past dynasties. Although every generation of great masters were masters of the art of mechanism, there was a difference between the art of mechanism and the art of sword-making.
"Just try it!" Jin Yao was actually very curious about how bronze was purified from copper ore in ancient times, and how chromium was added to the cross pattern to make the ancient sword immortal for thousands of years.
Seeing Jin Yao and Mrs. Xu walking away arm in arm, the Six Fingered Black Man felt the evil thought of being abandoned!
This guy wants to usurp the throne! Is it really okay for you, Mrs. Xu, to follow him like this? You don’t love me anymore? Am I abandoned?
The six-fingered black man looked at Gu with evil thoughts. Fortunately, this guy always had trouble dealing with Jin Yao.
"I'm curious too!" However, Gu's words interrupted the Six-Fingered Black Man's fantasy.
So, a group of people followed Mrs. Xu to the Mo family's backup sword-making workshop.
This is a small sword-making workshop next to the sword pool. After all, not all swords are qualified to be forged in the central sword pool. Ordinary swords can be forged on the periphery, and there is no need for such high temperatures.
Malachite is the most common and easiest to refine primary copper ore, so the Mohists also have a lot of it in stock.
Jin Yao remembered that the melting point of copper is around 1000-1100°C. With the current capabilities of the Mohists, it would be difficult to reach this temperature unless it was purified with basalt magma from Jianchi.
"Charcoal?" Jin Yao was a little stunned. Seeing Mrs. Xu actually using charcoal to separate bronze from malachite, he was dumbfounded.
"Don't be stunned. It's such a waste to practice hard without swinging a sledgehammer!" That's right, what Mrs. Xu is looking for is not Jin Yao's sword-making skills. How strong can he be compared to the Xu family? He is looking for Jin Yao.
Yao's horizontal training of the golden body, this is a perfect technique created for the Hammer!
Jin Yao understood a little bit. The prime minister also told him that when he came to the Mo family, he would definitely be targeted by the Xu family.
"Eighty for a big hammer, fifty for a small hammer!" Jin Yao thought for a while and quoted the price. He couldn't work in vain.
"It depends on how far you can refine it!" Mrs. Xu doesn't care about money. The Xu family is really not short of money. An ordinary sword costs hundreds of dollars. A precious sword is made of gold, and a famous sword is made of cities!
The most important thing is that my Xu family can have as much money as they want. If I don’t make swords, I can make money or even make gold.
"Okay!" Jin Yao tapped at the top according to Mrs. Xu's instructions.
The sledgehammer swung violently, and "when~" the ground shook and the mountains shook, and a lot of dregs fell out of the fiery red bronze.
"Eighty, eighty, eighty!" Jin Yao shouted breathlessly, holding a sledgehammer in his hand.
Mrs. Xu was very satisfied and slowly taught Jin Yao how to exert force and control the force. She kept flipping the copper pillar with her hand. In less than a quarter of an hour, a bronze sword embryo appeared on the sword-making stone.
"That's right, you can give me the hammer in the future!" Mrs. Xu directly named Jin Yao to be his dedicated hammer master.
"No, I'm the debate leader!" Jin Yao shook his head decisively, "You have to pay more!"
Mrs. Xu was stunned for a moment, then nodded, money, well, according to this guy’s strength, it’s no problem to make ten refined swords a month. One sword will be his labor, and the remaining one will be deducted.
If you reduce the cost, the remaining eight are pure profits. This business can be done!
Don't ask why you earn so much, just ask, knowledge is priceless!
"I can help you build the Mo Dao you want. The price is that you have to help me swing the hammer for free for three years!" Mrs. Xu thought about it and decided to follow through on Capital's words.
"Okay!" Jin Yao answered decisively.
With Mrs. Xu's reputation, as long as she opens her mouth, I don't know how many swordsmen are willing to come and exchange three years of hard work for a sword.
Jin Yao looked at the pile of black and red gravel with metallic luster next to the malachite and was stunned for a moment, iron ore!
"Why doesn't Master Xu use these ores to refine it?" Jin Yao was confused.
"The temperature is not enough. In theory, it should be very hard, especially the most suitable ore for the Eight-foot Mo Dao you want. But even the magma in Jianchi cannot smelt this kind of ore!" Mrs. Xu shook her head.
, they have also studied for a long time, but the amount obtained is too small and the process is very difficult.
"Temperature, I know it!" Jin Yao said. The temperature they got by playing with the Sky Monkey reached a golden-orange color, which corresponds to 1200°C, which has completely reached the melting point of iron.
To extract pure iron, it is not necessary to reach 1200°C. Adding other alloys can completely lower the melting point.
The most important thing is the blast furnace! This thing is easy to make and can raise the temperature to outrageous levels.
"???" Mrs. Xu was stunned.
Jin Yao hesitated for a moment, explained the principle of the blast furnace, then waved his hand and asked Gu to find Mo Bian's disciples, and simply built a small blast furnace.
"Try it!" Mrs. Xu was also very curious, but Mo Bian was a theoretical person, so if he could achieve it in theory, it wouldn't be too far behind in practice.
[A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I have known for ten years, Yeguo Reading! It is so easy to use. I rely on this app to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here www. 】
Then, Jin Yao saw something even more outrageous.
Obviously the blast furnace can raise the temperature to the extreme, but the result...
Watching Mrs. Xu channel all her internal energy towards the blast furnace like a blower, and then watched the flames change from orange to blue, then to white, and finally...
"Boom~" The blast furnace collapsed. The blast furnace was also made of stone and mud and could not withstand the temperature of the white flames. It was burned to pieces and exploded all at once.
"Run!" Before the blast furnace exploded, Mrs. Xu was very aware of the terrifying temperature as she watched the color change of the flame. She was a swordsmith after all, so she knew exactly what the color change of the flame meant.
"What did you do?" The six-fingered black man and others who were watching the excitement didn't react. Then Jin Yao, Mrs. Xu, Master Xu and disciple Mo Bian fled like flying. Then there was a loud noise and they were burned pure white.
Flying flint...
However, no one paid attention to him. Mrs. Xu was very excited, and the swordsmith and Mo Bian's disciples were also very excited.
They thought that the blast furnace was very powerful because it could increase the temperature, but they forgot that the internal force could also accelerate the flame burning, making the temperature even more terrifying.
"I think I can produce a famous sword!" Mrs. Xu looked at Jin Yao with a smile. What kind of famous sword can't be produced at this temperature?
The most difficult thing about famous swords is not only the ray of Tao Yun, but also the lack of temperature, which makes it impossible to forge the sword embryos required for famous swords. Now that the temperature has been solved, he can wholesale famous swords!
Also, that iron ore can also be refined. There is plenty of it in the world, but because it cannot be refined, hundreds of companies from all over the world ignore it. They can buy mines one after another for cabbage prices!
"A new era has arrived, and bronze will become a thing of the past!" Mrs. Xu knew very well that when the temperature rises and iron ore is used, bronze will also be replaced.
"A small amount of money!" Mo Bian's disciples' eyes shone brightly. They couldn't understand Mrs. Xu's sense of glory. They only knew that they seemed to have no shortage of money in the future!
