After crossing the iron monument, my eyes suddenly opened up.↖
The space inside Dishan Manor was much larger than what Yang Ji saw outside. In the empty square, sword furnaces were densely packed like a forest, pointing straight to the sky.
In front of every sword furnace, there is almost a Chi Jing sword furnace disciple with arms and chest exposed, sweating profusely. The firepower in the sword furnace is full, the flames are billowing, and the smoke is billowing, and the ground next to it is full of various metal ingots.
There were people coming and going in the square, including people observing, casting, delivering materials, and customers who behaved in a romantic manner and came to buy.
However, among these things, what attracted Yang Ji's attention the most were the sword furnaces and the hundreds of thousands or even millions of weapons densely packed around the square.
Some of these weapons were damaged or missing, some were broken or cracked, and their handles were stuck diagonally on the ground, radiating across all the open areas of the Volcano Village in the interior of the field of vision.
Among these weapons are halberds, knives and armor, but more than 90% are various long swords, which are densely packed and extremely visually impactful.
"This is the Sword Tomb!"
The disciple of Dihuoshan Village who was leading the way saw Yang Ji's confused eyes, smiled slightly, and introduced:
"All the defective products will be thrown here and cast on the ground with molten steel."
“Aren’t all these defective products going to be recycled?”
Yang Ji was a little surprised and said. Sword-making in the Sword-making Villa requires materials, and materials are everywhere here. If the incomplete and useless swords in these sword tombs were collected and re-smelted, the number of metal ingots produced would probably be astronomical.
For the Sword Making Villa, which makes a living by making swords and refining weapons, this is obviously a huge waste.
"Hey, you don't understand this."
The disciple of Dihuoshan Village who led the way waved his hand with a proud look on his face:
"No weapon-refining master is born to be able to refine weapons. More than 90% of the weapons made by new sword-making disciples will fail for the first time. In our Huoshan Manor, weapons that fail to be forged by new disciples will never be recycled.
. Instead, it will be cast in this sword tomb as a memorial. It is also a reminder to myself to remind myself to make progress every day."
"I'm not afraid to tell you, it's not just ordinary disciples. Even the elders and masters of our villa, and even the founder of our Dihuan sect, who failed to cast the flying sword for the first time, are all here."
If the swords in the sword tomb are all your own, then of course it would be a bit disgraceful to say so. But if the swords of the elders, village owners, and even the first ancestors are all in there, then there is nothing to be ashamed of.
On the contrary, it is also an honor.
Yang Ji could understand this feeling, but no matter what, Yang Ji was shocked by the Sword Forging Villa in Zhou Mansion. And Yang Ji also thought of something.
"Actually, the defective weapons in these sword tombs are still a kind of follow-up reserve. Once a dangerous situation occurs and the follow-up reserves need to be used, these defective weapons can be quickly transformed into countless flying swords and armor."
Yang Ji secretly thought in his heart.
Reserve resources are extremely important for any force. Because of their own survival, and reserve resources generally do not need to be used. Therefore, the reserve resources of most forces are extremely secretive, and the less outsiders know, the better.
However, Dihuoshuo Village did the opposite and put its reserve resources in the open. Such huge resources far exceeded normal needs, but no one thought it was inappropriate.
There is no doubt that this is a strategy, and it is an extremely clever one.
At this moment, Yang Ji suddenly had an intuitive understanding of this Volcano Villa.
Yang Ji also has sincere admiration for the original founder of Dihuoshan Villa who created this strategy. This is the real master, not only physically, but also mentally.
The Dihuoshan Manor can enjoy such a transcendent status and privilege in Taiyuanzhou Mansion. It even sells the face of the military and the imperial family, which obviously has its own special and outstanding features.
The Dihuoshan Villa was crowded with people. It was a busy scene. It was the first time for Yang Ji to visit a place where flying swords were made. Yang Ji was also very curious.
Looking carefully, Yang Ji found that the sword furnaces were all in the shape of a spire, with red juice surging inside. The disciples of the sword furnace put the metal ingots in with black pliers, and they melted in a while. Then they kept using hammers.
of beat into.
Yang Jing found that the sword furnace disciples were beating very rhythmically. They obviously used blood energy when hammering and hammering, making the metal ingots more even and dense after being hammered.
This is also the most obvious difference between Sword Furnace disciples and ordinary blacksmiths.
As a warrior, you can temper these metal ingots and create magic weapons. The disciples of the Sword Furnace are obviously much better at forging than the local blacksmiths.
Such repeated vigorous hammering can quench the impurities in the metal ingots to the greatest extent, making their materials harder.
Coupled with some special tempering techniques and techniques of the Sword Forging Villa, the refined flying sword is very suitable for warriors.
Since these Sword Furnace disciples are warriors themselves, they can correct them in time, discover errors in the casting process, and cast suitable warriors according to the warrior's requirements.
However, Yang Ji observed for a week and discovered some problems. The flames in the sword furnace did not seem to be as high as he thought.
"That flame...is it earth fire?"
Yang Ji looked at the molten-like things in the sword furnace and said hesitantly.
"Hey, Young Master is quite smart. That's Earth Fire. It's also the origin of the name of our villa."
The disciple of Dihuoshan Village who was leading the way laughed when he heard this:
"Do you know how difficult it is to induce the geofire magma deep underground to forge swords? The geofire is too deep and too manic to be controlled easily. Our Volcano Village spent a lot of energy and effort to make it.
Conquer a stable tributary of earth fire and use it for daily sword refining in the villa."
As he spoke, the disciple of Dihuoshan Villa who was leading the way was obviously very proud of this achievement of the villa. In fact, it was indeed the case. The fact that Dihuoshan Villa was valued by the Ministry of Industry of the Imperial Court and rated as a "famous sword-making place" is also in line with this.
No relationship.
But seeing this strong pride in Yang Ji's eyes, it felt even weirder.
The earth fire is indeed good, but in fact, the temperature of the earth fire is not too high. It may be able to smelt some metal ingots, but for the requirements of higher skills and levels of weapon refining, the temperature of this earth fire is obviously not enough.
Even the Yin Fire Yang Talisman condensed by Yang Ji at the military commander level is higher than this temperature.
"Don't you guys use flint in your villa?"
Yang Jidao looked a little hesitant. In fact, the best way to refine a weapon is to add flint to it and combine it with the earth fire. It doesn't require too much. Adding a little flint to each sword furnace can ensure a stable high temperature and improve the refining process.
The quality and success rate of the device.
Yang Ji believed that such a simple question would be understood by a famous sword-making place like Dihuoshan Manor. Moreover, the consumption rate of flint itself is very low. If you are worried about consumption, there is no need at all.
But in fact, Dishanzhuang Village seems to have never thought about adding flint.
Across the way, upon hearing Yang Ji's words, the disciple of Dihuoshan Village who was leading the way had a look of astonishment on his face, his mouth completely opened in an "O" shape, as if Yang Ji had said something incredible.
"Flint! Of course I know. But do you know what you are talking about? Do you know how precious and rare flint is? The top sword-making places in the entire Han Dynasty probably don't have many together. If there is flint, do you think we have it?"
Don’t you know how to put it into the sword furnace?”
"You said it's light, flint, flint, but you think it's Chinese cabbage. How many kilograms can you get me?"
…
The disciple of the Dihuoshan Villa who led the way was quite polite at first, but when Yang Ji made some comments and intervened in the sword-making work of the Villa, he began to speak sarcastically and lost his composure.
Where is the Dihuoshan Manor? Even the noble families, nobles, and nobles from the imperial court would do whatever they wanted to do, and they would still have no good looks, not to mention Yang Ji.
Yang Ji listened to the sarcasm on the faces of the disciples of Dihuoshuang Village and smiled bitterly in his heart. He realized that he might have miscalculated something.
Yang Ji originally thought that ordinary swordsmiths and alchemists might not know about things like flint. However, Swordsmith Villa is a swordsmith, and it exists at the top of the chain of swordsmiths. It has hundreds of years of inheritance and the care of the imperial court.
.
Yang Ji originally thought that this kind of thing should not be a secret to Zhujian Villa.
Facts also prove that the disciples of Zhujian Villa do know about flint.
But what is different from Yang Ji's imagination is that the actual situation is much more serious than Yang Ji thought.
Flint, which was very common for sword making and weapon refining in ancient times, has been passed down in modern times more seriously than Yang Ji imagined.
Not only those straggler swordsmiths, but the alchemist didn't know that even famous swordsmithing places like Dihuoshan Manor were in a state of shortage.
It is not used at all in actual casting and refining.
In other words, flint is far more precious than Yang Ji imagined!
"Jian Shiliu, come here. This person is entrusted to you."
The disciple of Dihuoshuo Manor who led the way waved to a big man with bare arms not far away, turned around and left without saying a word, obviously unwilling to serve a layman like Yang Ji who liked to give blind orders.
"hehe."
Yang Ji smiled bitterly and did not refute. Although he was scolded, Yang Ji was not unhappy at all. Things like flint were much rarer than he thought. There was actually no place like Dishan Manor.
The more precious the flint is, the more beneficial it is to you. Whether it is selling it or bargaining with the Sword Casting Villa, asking them to help you cast a bronze blood weapon is extremely helpful to you.
Sword Making Villa makes a living by making swords and refining weapons.
Yang Ji believed that something like flint, which could greatly improve the success rate, must be something they couldn't resist.
"Sir, do you want to buy a sword?"
While he was thinking about it, there was a sound of footsteps approaching, and the big Chi-Ji man called Sword Sixteen strode closer and asked. Yang Ji looked up and found that he was a man with a very honest smile. (To be continued, please search.
