Most of the knowledge in "Forging Technology" is about smelting. As for making metal tools, there are only some of the simplest methods. If you want to strictly create those swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, axes, hooks, and shovels that Xiaobai used in his previous life,
To get started, just relying on "Forging Technology" is not enough.
Xiaobai also wanted to exchange these things for the tribesmen, but when he looked at the exchange price, Xiaobai's face became dark. There is no comprehensive category, they are all separated separately. Take forged knives as an example, they are divided into rings.
There are Shou Dao, Tang Dao, Miao Dao, Samurai Dao, etc., and then they will be subdivided. Tang Dao is divided into Tang Heng Dao, Tang Mo Dao, Tang Yi Dao, and each type of sword is also divided into junior high school and high school.
Just to make one Tang Dao, there are nine different techniques that can be exchanged. If all the metal utensils are exchanged, Xiaobai feels that his faith value may not be enough.
The system is just a pit that cannot be filled.
"System, please explain to me why the forging technology is so simple, but the crafted artifacts require so many exchanges?" Xiaobai asked the system in his mind with a dark face.
"Because forging technology is the foundation." The old system god said: "Basic things are naturally easy to learn, but are you sure other things are also easy to learn? Have you never read history?"
"What the hell does this have to do with history?" Xiaobai got a little angry. How could building something involve history?
"Hey...you are really ignorant. Haven't you ever thought that the development of all civilizations is actually based on metal tools? The birth of each metal tool represents a brand new history. Just take
As for knives in weapons, the knives of each era are different and have their own characteristics. Do you understand what this means?" The system decided to popularize knowledge to Xiaobai.
"What does it mean?" Xiaobai was a little confused. It was not that he had never read history, but he had not thought carefully about the uses of metal utensils in each era.
"It means characteristics, idiot host, I think you quite like the Tang Dao, so let's talk about the Tang Dao. The Tang Dao is not an ordinary knife. Its sharpness and hardness exceed other knives. The Tang Dao's
The focus is on armor-piercing, which has a very strong armor-piercing effect. It is usually a straight sword with no curvature. In order to deal with cavalry, Tang Dao also extended the Mo Dao. The ordinary Tang Hengdao and Mo Dao are completely different.
, Tang Heng Dao is used by ordinary warriors, while Tang Mo Dao is used by heavily armed warriors!" The system began to popularize knowledge.
"Then what?" Xiaobai continued to ask stupidly. Different knives have different attack powers. He knew this, but he didn't understand what the system was trying to say clearly.
"I still don't understand. Do you think samurai swords need swords like Tang Heng Dao and Tang Mo Dao?" If the system had eyes at this time, it would probably roll its eyes to the sky.
"...No, don't you need it?" Xiaobai struggled for a moment. In his previous life, there were quite a lot of introductions about the island country's samurai swords. He also read a lot of various analyses. It was said on the Internet that the samurai swords were adapted from Tang swords.
of.
"Of course not, samurai swords and Tang swords are completely different, okay? The foreign enemies faced by the Tang Dynasty generally wore armor. The weapons of the Tang warriors needed the ability to break armor, and fighting against cavalry required strong and sharp blades, but these
Do they need samurai swords? No, they need lighter weapons that are faster and easier to cut!" There was an anger in the system's voice, as if he was speechless at Xiaobai's understanding.
"..." Is this actually the case? Xiaobai finally understood.
It turns out that there are so many sayings in the weapon!
I really didn't pay much attention to it before. I know that each weapon is different and has different methods of use, but I have never thought about why this form of weapon was born.
The birth of each metal object represents the living conditions and civilization of an era. The scimitar of the Arabs, the long bow of England, the square shield of Rome, the battle ax of the Vikings, not to mention the weapons of the Chinese dynasties.
, these were all born in response to the situation at that time.
Later generations often argue about how awesome Tang swords are and how powerful Han swords are. In fact, there is nothing to argue about. Those weapons were just for the era at that time. They may not be as effective in another era. After all, the enemies they deal with are different.
.
Xiaobai has completely understood. It turns out that the original intention of the system is not to let him exchange too many of these finished products that have already appeared, but to let the tribesmen develop their own research and development to create weapons and metal utensils that suit the current characteristics.
"Thank you." Understanding the system's good intentions, Xiaobai sincerely thanked him. The system was for the tribe, and he had to think more about the tribe. After all, those tribesmen were the source of his faith, the guarantee of his life, and the hope of returning home.
.
"Oh my god, stupid host, I won't be very happy even if you say this!" The system said in a arrogant tone, but everyone could hear the pleasure and embarrassment in the tone.
A faint smile appeared on Xiaobai's face. Although the system is usually very naughty and likes to criticize people, it is still very reliable at critical times and has always been of great help to him.
If he hadn't reminded himself today, I'm afraid Xiaobai would have really enthusiastically exchanged all the weapons for the tribesmen. That would not necessarily be helping the tribesmen, but more likely harming them.
…
As Xiaobai passed down the "Forging Technology", a new blacksmith shop with crude construction was added to the Samsara Tribe. To put it bluntly, it was just a big stove erected in a house.
Those prospectors have returned a long time ago. They have found an open-pit mine vein with rich reserves. Since they don't have the tools at hand, they just bring a group of slaves to pick up the ore.
Prospectors don't know how to smelt. They can only distinguish which ores are ores. As for the functions of the ores, they don't know much about it, but the things passed down by the gods cannot be useless. The gods have no further instructions, so they can only continue to
Collect, who knows how much ore will be needed then.
The appearance of the blacksmith shop made these prospectors vaguely guess that the stones they picked up would be put to use.
As they expected, someone found them soon. With the proof of life, the prospecting team knew that this was a new technology inheritor who came to collect the ore.
The ore was obtained easily. The rough man took the ore back to the blacksmith shop and started smelting and forging it for the first time. The first tool he wanted to make was a hammer.
That's right, it's a tool hammer, and it's also the most basic metal item in forging technology.
Many people were curious around the blacksmith shop. There was a furnace burning with flames, and the new inheritor was actually throwing stones into the furnace. What was he doing? Can baked stones be eaten?
