The craftsman's workshop is an inconspicuous small courtyard.
After walking into the courtyard and turning around two small corridors, I arrived in front of a pavilion. Zhu Ping tinkered with the carved pillars a few times, and the base of the entire pavilion opened. Zhu Ping walked down with Baoyu (burning small stones).
When passing the sixth sentry post, Baoyu thought it was a bit funny. Even the bank vaults of later generations were not like this, right? Three steps and one post, ten steps and one sentry. It really regarded it as a military center.
The four braided soldiers looked over and over again at the path leading to the two men, and then opened the heavy iron gate to let them through.
Looking around, a large venue that was as empty as an airport in later generations was displayed in front of Baoyu, with at least a thousand people tinkering in various positions.
This was a shocking scene. Baoyu rubbed his eyes vigorously.
How much manpower, material, and financial resources would it cost to build such a large-scale craftsmanship workshop in such a place? How courageous must the little emperor be?
While walking, I listened to the talk of the twelfth senior brother, and I could tell that the twelfth senior brother did not like this craftsman's workshop.
"This is the material workshop, which specializes in forging all kinds of iron embryos. For example, our latest Sky-piercing Earth-piercing Sun Arrow is made here; here is the manufacturing workshop of various utensils, which specializes in making all kinds of iron embryos.
New molds and forging tools; we also have a gunpowder manufacturing workshop five miles away, which is too dangerous, so we put it outside... The craftsmen in this workshop all come here voluntarily, and many of them are in this field.
Experts, but also a group of lunatics..."
At this moment, an old man with a gray beard rushed out of a rusty workshop holding a black iron plate. He shouted in a hissing voice: "Failed again, failed again, I'm so useless.
useless……"
The black iron plate with broken corners that was as shiny as carbon danced like a giant knife in the old man's hands. He was also a master!
It was such a big iron plate, weighing less than three hundred kilograms, and it was like a fire stick in the old man's hand.
Seeing that he was charging towards Baoyu and the others, Zhu Ping did not panic at all. He stepped forward and made a small grab, grabbing the iron plate and putting it aside. Then he knocked the old man unconscious with a light punch.
"Madman Xing is crazy again. This is a good piece of material. It is very hard, but brittle. I have been testing it for more than a year, and my hair has turned gray, but there is still no progress..."
Looking back, he saw Baoyu looking at him blankly, and Zhu Ping asked, "Is there anything wrong?"
"With your little capture just now, you can at least get the position of second senior brother. You are very low-key."
"Low-key? Hahaha, I like the smell of the craftsman's workshop. If I don't smell it a few times a day, I feel uncomfortable all over. The craftsman's workshop is a good place..."
This is also a weirdo!
In less than a minute, four doctors in white robes came to treat him, which was faster than later generations.
The more you look at Baoyu (burning small stone), the more amazed you become.
Holding up the piece of black iron, Baoyu was very surprised just by looking at it. This was tungsten steel used in later generations to make precision machine tools and guns, and it was purer than modern tungsten steel.
Baoyu is most familiar with this aspect. In the special forces training of later generations, every soldier must be able to use any object in his hand as a murder weapon.
As for the production of guns, he is even more expert. Ran Xiaoshi once used local materials to forge three kinds of guns during a special operation, killing everyone.
"Good steel fire, good forging!"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) couldn't help but boasted.
"Do you know this kind of iron embryo?" Zhu Ping asked when he saw Baoyu holding the iron block with his eyes shining and praising him.
"This is iron sand from Jiangxi... It should be made in a blast furnace... Ah, no, it is refined using your best refining method, right? This is called tungsten steel.
It is an iron blank used to make an excellent weapon. It is characterized by high strength, high hardness and brittleness. This piece has been processed by experts...what a good thing!"
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) almost said modern blast furnace. In the Qing Dynasty, let alone it did not exist, even in the whole world. Modern blast furnace had to wait until the emergence of gas internal combustion engine and steam turbine blower in the early 20th century.
Only then could steel be smelted on a large scale.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) immediately responded from his brain, "Tungsten steel material refers to an alloy material that uses WC and Co powder as the main raw materials, and is mixed, pressed, and sintered through a series of processing techniques using powder metallurgy methods. It has hardness and high
Strength, corrosion resistance, stainless steel and other properties; Disadvantages: fragile. Widely used in hardware, machinery, chemical industry, national defense and other industries to produce high-precision and high-wear-resistant key parts."
But this iron blank is definitely the best among tungsten steels.
What tools are used for forging?
Ignoring Zhu Ping, he jogged straight into Madman Xing's workshop. He saw small black iron embryos all over the floor, and two young boys blowing wind were sitting there in a daze.
I saw that the tin on the iron shelf next to me had wisps of whiskers deep inside it. This is a good thing. I quickly walked over and gently scraped off the whiskers with a knife, then picked up three tungsten steel embryos from the ground and threw them away.
Entering the furnace, he was told: "Blast! I want the highest temperature!"
The two boys looked back at Zhu Ping, and when they saw him nodding, they worked up their strength and began to inflate the sheepskin bags.
This is the tungsten steel whisker toughening and strengthening technology of later generations. The ratio is very important. Carefully spread the whiskers evenly into the furnace. Seeing that the two boys were not doing their best, they directly ordered, "Senior Brother Zhu, if you can help me, you can be the blower now."
Young man."
Senior Brother Zhu didn't care and took action directly.
One furnace didn't work, and another furnace still didn't work... I tried seven furnaces in a row, and still couldn't meet the requirements of Baoyu (burning small stones).
But Brother Zhu and the two blowing boys became more and more excited, because what they saw was that each furnace was better than the last. At least now, it would take more than thirty blows with the largest forty-pound hammer to break the thin layer.
Breaking a thin half-thick tungsten steel sheet into pieces is the greatest progress.
It was already noon the next day, and the test was on to the ninth furnace, but Baoyu was still not satisfied.
At this time, the door of the workshop opened. Madman Xing, who looked haggard, saw someone touching his precious furnace. He became angry, picked up a piece of iron embryo on the ground and rushed in.
Only halfway through the rush, he dropped the iron embryo in his hand and rushed towards it. He said very gently to Baoyu, who had been staring at the furnace: "The method of spreading is wrong, it should be like this... and the time for producing molten iron is almost there...
…”
"You come!"
"Okay, I'll do it!"
Neither of them were polite.
Three hours later, three red steel embryos were taken out. While they were being quenched, Madman Xing was already in tears.
"This is the peerless steel embryo, the steel embryo that creates the peerless magic weapon, wuwuwu..."
While the iron was hot, two lunatics, one old and one young, started beating each other again...
In another two hours, a black and shiny tiger-head sword took shape in their hands.
The whole workshop, no, the whole craftsman's workshop became excited!
"Click, click, click..." This is the sound that Madman Xing and Baoyu like to hear the most. This is the sound of swords clashing.
More than thirty hundred-refined Burmese knives were chopped into two pieces, but the tiger-head broadsword didn't even have a small chip.
Moreover, after being repeatedly beaten hundreds of times with four sledgehammers, the tiger-head broadsword did not deform at all!
The peerless sword appears!
"Boy, you are the lucky star of the 'Tianwei Camp'! Hurry! Send it to the emperor immediately!" Zhu Ping hugged the two lunatics and didn't know what to say.
The old madman also hugged the child in front of him, who was only as tall as his shoulders, and said: "Don't think that it's great just to make such a knife. You still have a lot to learn. In my eyes, you are just a little kid." Blacksmith, you haven't started yet... I will be your teacher from now on, teaching you how to forge..." After saying this, the old madman tilted his head and fell asleep.
Baoyu also fell asleep with his head tilted.
At this time, in the Zhaoren Hall of the Qianqing Palace in the Forbidden City, the young emperor received the tiger-head sword sent by the "Tianwei Camp" overnight.
Apart from an urgent letter with a red feather in it, there was only one big knife in the whole box.
He took out a heavy sword from the box. The tall and straight blade gave off a fierce black light, as if it wanted to swallow up all the other swords!
"Good knife!"
The little emperor picked up a long knife from the knife rest and knocked it, and the sharp knife sent by the Oriental people broke into two pieces.
This Japanese sword had broken more than twenty other famous swords and swords, and was cut off like this.
"A great sword, a peerless sword! It will live up to their expectations and they sent it late at night with a red plume urgent letter!"
Only then did he uncover the urgent letter from Red Ling. Seeing that Baoyu had stayed up for three days and three nights to instruct Madman Xing to create a peerless magic weapon, the little emperor murmured to himself: "First, there is the weird method of delivering secret messages; and that article" The ancestors of the Tang Dynasty and Song Dynasty were a little less charming. Genghis Khan, the genius of the generation, only knew how to bend a bow and shoot a big eagle. They are all gone. Count the famous figures, but look at the present day.' wonderful words; and then used a strange mortgage method to acquire the capital. Grand restaurant; this time he has created a peerless magic weapon... Come here, tell me my will, make Jia Baoyu the second-class bodyguard, deputy commander of the Tianwei camp... I rarely go to the virtuous concubine recently..."
At this time, Liang Jiugong, the great eunuch on the side, quickly came over and said, "Master, please remember this. Master, you said you were going to Yuanchun Palace in the next few days..."
"Okay, let's go to Yuanchun Palace."
(Having been given the same official title as his master, but Baoyu was still a small blacksmith in the "Tianwei Camp". At this time, the Russian ambassador came with a strong man and fought against all the invincible opponents of the Qing Dynasty. Baoyu wanted to help...how he solved it, please 8 See you in an hour.)
