Shi Songtao's words made Mei Wushang and others nod in agreement.
Although they are not weapon masters, they also know that the grade of any weapon can never be improved.
They have all heard of the reputation of the Giant Que Sword.
That is a top-grade weapon that can kill a first-grade martial arts expert!
The number one existence on the Huangpin weapon spectrum!
If they can provide the giant sword in their hands, how can they use it to try to upgrade it?
If it fails, wouldn’t the giant sword be destroyed?
"My lord, be careful."
Shi Songtao persuaded in a deep voice, "Even ordinary Xuanpin weapons are not as good as the giant sword. If you need a Xuanpin weapon, I still have one in my hand. You can use it. Don't destroy the giant sword."
Que sword."
As a weapon maker, Shi Songtao would not like to see a good weapon be destroyed like this.
That is the Giant Que Sword, the magic weapon in the hearts of many weapon masters.
"Who told you that I was going to destroy the Giant Sword."
Zhou Shu said strangely, "I want to improve the level of the giant sword, but I don't want to destroy it."
"What's the difference?"
Shi Songtao asked rhetorically.
"The improvement of weapon grade only exists in legends. The texture of a weapon has been fixed since it was successfully cast. A slight change may lead to imbalance and the collapse of the weapon body..."
"I know these theories better than you."
Zhou Shu shook his head and said, "Since I want to do this, I am sure of it."
"My lord, this is no joke. Once you fail, you will have no regrets."
Shi Songtao said anxiously.
Once a weapon breaks down, it is basically impossible to repair it.
"I never joke about casting soldiers."
Zhou Shu said, "Just obey my orders."
"Time is limited, I need you to help me refine the materials for making weapons."
Shi Songtao opened his mouth, and his mood suddenly became a little complicated.
He suddenly remembered that since Zhou Shu became famous, it seemed that he had never failed.
If he can really upgrade the level of the giant sword to Xuanpin, it will be the first time since he has the art of weapon casting.
A great event that created the world.
If he, Shi Songtao, could participate as an assistant...
His face turned red with excitement.
Although Shi Songtao was confident before, he never thought he would be able to leave a name in history.
But now, this opportunity is right in front of him. If the upgrade is successful, then he will definitely leave a mark in the history of military casting, even if it is just as an assistant!
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely complete the mission!"
Shi Songtao's words left Yin Wuyou, Mei Wushang and others speechless.
Is your attitude changing too quickly?
"Zhou Shu, if you go to the mountains, what will you do here?"
Yin Wuyou never thought of stopping Zhou Shu. For her, she only needed support for what Zhou Shu wanted to do.
Just like when Zhou Shu decided to build a camp here, there is actually no danger to defend here and it is not a good place to build a camp.
But Yin Wuyou agreed without hesitation, without raising any objections.
"This demonic spiritual essence has been sealed by me. With his strength, he cannot break the seal."
Zhou Shu said, "As long as you keep an eye on him, those monster miners will not dare to fight back."
"In a few days, the army of monsters over there will not launch an attack easily. You just need to prepare your defense step by step."
"As for other things, we'll talk about it when I get back."
"It may take at least one or two days, or at most three to five days. I will definitely come back."
Zhou Shu took Shi Songtao, unfolded his movements, and headed deep into the mountains and forests.
The most important material needed to upgrade the Juque Sword is blood-threaded silver, and blood-threaded silver has been piled up in the camp for a long time.
As for the other materials, they are not valuable materials. If they are placed outside, they can be easily found in the warehouse of the Forging Department.
But here, they were separated from the main army and could not get the supply of materials for making weapons, so they had to find it themselves.
"You know all these materials for making weapons, right?"
Zhou Shu said to Shi Songtao, "Don't have too many. Just find a dozen or eight pounds of each."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I am familiar with all these materials. As long as their mineral veins exist in this mountain, I will definitely be able to find them!"
Shi Songtao patted his chest and said.
Shi Songtao didn't lie about this.
He comes from a family of weapon builders. Unlike Zhou Shu's predecessor who was a low-level worker for generations, his ancestors were all serious weapon builders for several generations.
As early as Shi Songtao can remember, he began to learn various weapons-making materials from his grandfather and father.
Finding mineral veins is part of learning the materials for making weapons.
When Shi Songtao was young, he often wandered in the mountains and forests with his father and grandfather.
Shi Songtao had been to almost all the mountains and forests of Daxia.
If he hadn't met Zhou Shu, Shi Songtao, the greatest soldier-making genius in Great Xia, would be worthy of the title.
He has talent, inheritance, and hard work, making him a perfect protagonist.
It's a pity that when he met Zhou Shu, he directly became the butler of Huaxia Pavilion...
However, he seems to be quite enjoying it.
"Hula——"
Shi Songtao's hands were red and he waved a flame. The thorns and weeds were directly burned away, revealing the rocks underneath.
He pressed his hands on the rock, and with a squeaking sound, a handprint several inches deep appeared on the rock.
Shi Songtao knocked casually, and the burned rock fell down, revealing the structure inside.
He picked up a piece with his fingers, rubbed it, and then continued to move forward.
I have to say that Shi Songtao likes this iron smelting hand more and more now.
Apart from the fact that it is too difficult to practice, it is a perfect match for the Weapon Master.
Not only is it convenient to smelt weapons-casting materials, but it also saves you a lot of trouble when searching for mineral veins in the wild.
If it weren't for the iron smelting hand, Shi Songtao would have to prepare a bunch of special tools, and even opening a road in the mountains and forests would be enough to give him a headache.
How wonderful it is now, with a wave of your hand, you can directly burn a road to the sky.
Moreover, the iron-smelting hand has one advantage over Xu Shi's Bahuang Fire God Technique, that is, its power is more controllable.
In contrast, the Bahuang Fire God Skill can only set fire, and its hands cannot be turned into tools.
Zhou Shu followed Shi Songtao, looking for mineral veins. Zhou Shu was not as good as Shi Songtao because he had not learned this knowledge.
The so-called professional things should be left to professionals.
Zhou Shu did not interfere with Shi Songtao's search for mineral veins. He was holding a giant sword. His hands were like Shi Songtao's, and his whole body was red, as if he were made of magma.
His palms were touching the body of the Juque Sword, not knowing what he was doing.
After entering the martial arts battlefield of the Ten Kingdoms, Zhou Shu killed many monsters with the giant sword.
The Giant Que Sword has already completed a hundred kills, and the upgrade conditions have been unlocked.
On the map of the divine weapons, on the page of the Juque Sword, the label after the big characters "Juque Sword" has changed to "Xuan".
The upgrade conditions are also reset to zero.
According to previous opinions, this should be a Xuan-grade giant sword. After completing a hundred kills, the conditions for upgrading to an earth-grade giant sword will be unlocked.
Zhou Shu didn't care about that for the time being. He was recalling the conditions for upgrading the Juque Sword in his mind.
Upgrading weapons is not difficult in theory.
It is to improve the texture of the weapon itself so that it can withstand more star paths.
This is just like people, becoming a first-level martial artist is very simple in theory. If you accumulate enough spiritual energy and break through a few levels, you will be a first-level martial artist.
It's easy to say it, but it's incredibly difficult to actually do it.
Everyone knows that to become a rich man, you only need to earn 100 million, but the question is whether you can earn this 100 million.
If you want to improve the texture of a formed weapon, you need to incorporate more weapon-casting materials into it.
The purpose of casting weapons is to achieve a harmonious balance of various weapon-casting materials, bringing out the characteristics of various weapon-casting materials without allowing them to conflict with each other.
A formed weapon indicates that it has reached a state of equilibrium. At this time, incorporating more weapon-casting materials will unbalance the original equilibrium state.
The result of the imbalance is a bang and the weapon turns into dregs.
Therefore, when weapons are upgraded, a balanced state needs to be found again.
However, a weapon is made of many weapons-casting materials. The amount of each weapon-casting material and changes in the temperature during the casting process will affect the equilibrium state.
To move the whole body with one move, you not only need to know countless materials for casting weapons, but also need to have extremely good control over the temperature of the weapons, and you also need to have abnormal computing power.
After all, upgrading weapons is different from forging weapons. All weapon-making materials must be integrated into them as soon as possible without any delay or hesitation.
The reactions of various weapon-casting materials must be calculated in an instant before final success is possible.
Speaking of which, Zhou Shu's own mastery of the materials for casting weapons has not reached this level, including his control of the fire and the required computing power.
But who made him suffer?
With the Divine Weapon Map, he knew every step of upgrading the Juque Sword, and there was no need to calculate or study it himself.
As long as he is given the materials he needs to forge weapons, he can successfully forge them.
"My lord, I found the same thing!"
Most of a day later, Shi Songtao shouted excitedly.
"Very good, please step aside."
Zhou Shu said.
Shi Songtao didn't understand why, so he stepped aside a little.
"Stand back a little more."
Shi Songtao took a few steps back.
Zhou Shu stepped lightly with his right foot and punched out.
The iron-smelting hand punched the stone wall of the vein.
"Boom——"
There was a loud noise and hot breath rushed towards my face.
Under Shi Songtao's dumbfounded gaze, a stone measuring one foot square on the stone wall had disappeared and turned into fiery red magma.
"Purification of materials, next."
Zhou Shu said calmly.
Shi Songtao nodded numbly.
They are all iron-smelting hands, why is it so powerful when the prince uses it?
His brain almost stopped functioning, and he was refining the weapons-making materials mechanically.
The ore has already melted into magma, which saved him a lot of trouble.
While Shi Songtao was working, Zhou Shu directly whittled a piece of wood, wrote the name of the weapon-casting material on it, and then inserted it into the ground.
This mine is mine.
On the battlefield of the Ten Kingdoms Military Performance, all places are unclaimed lands. Whoever captures them first will be theirs.
This mineral vein will belong to him, Zhou Shu, after putting a sign on it.
When there are enough miners, send them here to mine!
Such actions happened repeatedly in the next two days.
Whenever Shi Songtao discovers a mineral vein, Zhou Shu will put his own logo on it.
Then he would arbitrarily take out some weapon-making materials, or smelt a piece with his iron-smelting hand, or directly knock down a hill with one punch.
As long as you can quickly collect the materials to upgrade the giant sword, there is no need to worry about the rest for the time being.
Later, Shi Songtao was completely numb to Zhou Shu's behavior.
He didn't even bother to calculate the value of the veins he discovered.
When money reaches a certain level, it becomes a number.
Shi Songtao now even suspects that if they can really bring all these army-making materials back to Daxia, then the position of the richest man in Daxia seems to have to be replaced.
However, Deputy Pavilion Master Shi has no concept of money. He has never been short of money since he was a child. What he wants now is that he wants to leave a name in history and become the idol of all the weapon makers in the future.
He wants to help Zhou Shu successfully upgrade the giant sword!
And this seems to be not far away. There are only two short of the weapon-making materials listed by Zhou Shu, and we can find them all!
Shi Songtao is full of energy now. In these mountains, the veins of weapon-making materials are incredibly rich. He will definitely be able to gather all the materials for making soldiers!
……
Thousands of miles away, a group of heavily armed soldiers were stationed in the mountains and forests.
There are thousands of troops, but there is no sound at all, which shows that they are well-trained.
If Zhou Shu were here, he would definitely recognize that the commander of this army is his sworn brother, Mi Ziwen!
"Ahem——"
Mi Ziwen coughed a few times, and when he moved his hands away, there was a pool of blood on his palms.
"General!"
The lieutenant general is a little worried.
Mi Ziwen shook his head, "You haven't contacted the general yet?"
"For some unknown reason, all sound transmissions have failed and we cannot contact the general."
The deputy general shook his head and said, "The scouts sent out did not find the general. General, we seem to be alone."
The deputy general looked worried.
The situation of the battle was beyond everyone's expectation. The strength of the demon army was so strong that Daxia's army was dispersed before they could react.
If it weren't for Mi Ziwen's quick reaction, his men might not even be able to keep these thousands of people!
Even so, the price he paid was not small. Even he himself was seriously injured.
Fortunately, they temporarily escaped the pursuit of the demon army.
"How about supplies?"
Mi Ziwen said in a deep voice.
"There is not much food and grass left."
The lieutenant general said bitterly, "There are still a lot of weapons-making materials, but we don't have a weapon-making division in the army. Even if there are materials, the damaged weapons cannot be repaired. General, should we throw away those weapons-making materials and move forward lightly?" p>
When it first entered the battlefield of the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise, the army carried a large amount of materials for making weapons. After all, the Ten Kingdoms Military Exercise lasted for three years, and it was impossible not to replenish the weapons.
Those soldier-making materials are inherently heavy. In this situation, continuing to carry them will be a burden for the army.
"Can't throw it away."
Mi Ziwen shook his head, "Our weapons have been severely damaged. If they are not replenished, their combat effectiveness will be greatly weakened. These weapon-making materials are the basis. As long as we can find one of our weapon-making divisions, these materials can save lives."
”
Mi Ziwen raised his head and looked into the distance, muttering to himself.
"Second brother, second brother, where are you now?"
Suddenly, he remembered something and took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle from his words.
This porcelain bottle was given to him by Zhou Shu before he entered the Ten Kingdoms Martial Arts Arena, saying it could save his life in critical moments.
