The real beneficiaries of war are not necessarily the common people and soldiers, but the real victims of war are definitely innocent people and countless unknown soldiers.
The signs at the border crossing looking for relatives reflect the displacement of ordinary people in the five star regions.
At present, it is not just the armored giant cockroaches that cause huge casualties to ordinary people in the five star regions, but also war. In fact, the casualties caused by human wars to ordinary people far exceed the casualties caused by the armored giant cockroaches.
In addition to the direct casualties caused by war, during the course of the war, a large number of people suffered massive casualties due to illness, injury, hunger, and cold...
…
Under the gaze of countless pairs of relatives looking for relatives, Zhou Sen followed Xiao Jingjing through the long pass and entered the Galaxy Interstellar Station No. 117.
After passing through the pass and entering the inn, there is a huge square. The square is bustling with people, and there are dense crowds everywhere you look.
Among the crowd, there were some delinquent teenagers walking around, who looked like thieves at first glance.
Thief!
For humans in the five major star regions, the term "thief" only exists in historical records, because during the period of the human interstellar federal government, the profession of thief has disappeared, and now, this profession is resurrected.
Xiao Jingjing seemed to have a certain understanding of Interstellar Station No. 117. After walking into the square, she walked straight ahead to the right side of the square.
There is a narrow street on the right side of the square. The street is extremely crowded. The stores on both sides of the street sell some local products, handicrafts and some local snacks.
Backstreet!
When walking into this street, Zhou Sen saw a wooden antique archway erected on the pretext. The word "Backstreet" was written on the archway. The font was vigorous and powerful, and it was penetrating into the wood.
The five of them ate something to fill their stomachs at a small restaurant in the back street, and then found a cold weapon shop on this street.
Swordsman.
There is a plaque above the weapons shop, which reads two swordsmen in large gilt characters.
The swordsman's weapons shop is not big. The store is only about five meters wide. It is surrounded by various cold weapons. There are also some cold weapons hanging on the walls. The cold weapons are all clearly marked with prices. There are no staff. The walls
You can choose to pay electronically by yourself.
Although there are not all kinds of cold weapons, there are some common cold weapons. Bow, crossbow, gun, stick, knife, sword, spear, shield, axe, ax, halberd, 殳, whip, mace, hammer, fork, palladium
, Ge, rope dart, meteor hammer, mace hammer, dragon beard hook, flying claw, soft whip, brocade lasso, iron lotus, etc.
In addition to cold weapons, there are also some metal armors, but the armors are placed in one room inside.
Unlike cold weapons, metal armor looks very modern and does not have an ancient style. The armor is not only designed with modern elements, but also very ergonomic.
Keep up with the times!
Zhou Sen is a weapon refiner and has a natural affinity for cold weapons. When others choose their favorite weapons, he appreciates them carefully.
"Dang-dang-dang-dang...dang-dang..."
While Zhou Sen was admiring it carefully, he vaguely heard the sound of forging inside.
Are these cold weapons forged by hand?
Zhou Sen's heart moved, and he followed the sound and walked inside. In fact, he could only go inside, because this cold weapon shop was just a store, but the store was deeper.
The places Zhou Sen passed were full of semi-finished products of cold weapons, as well as some lumps of metal. Obviously, this place should be used as a warehouse. As for those semi-finished products, there is a high probability that the store will replenish whatever is in short supply. This
Planting semi-finished products can save a lot of time.
It is indeed artificially forged.
Inside, two shirtless men were beating a red iron block. Judging from the shape of the iron block, it should be a knife, but it was still unclear what kind of knife it was.
Zhou Sen was immediately attracted. Although he was a weapon refiner, this was the first time he paid attention to this ancient profession. After all, this ancient profession had disappeared long ago.
The two seemed to have become accustomed to other people's observation. They were not surprised and continued to hammer the red iron block without any distractions.
Although it was Zhou Sen's first time learning about this profession, he did not know everything. Of course, he only knew some simple rules.
The one who strikes iron and holds the hammer is the master, the one who exerts the force, and the one who directs.
Whether it is a sledge hammer or a small hammer, one end is round and the other is rectangular. When hammering the red-hot iron on the iron pier, you need to hold the temperature for a long time and keep the same shape as the original shape. In fact, this is quite awkward.
It is complicated and cannot be operated by ordinary people without several years of hands-on experience.
, because the small hammer is struck with one hand, and the other hand has to use a long-handled fire hammer to hit the piece of iron. It is not easy. It is almost three times the energy and force of holding a big hammer. A big hammer is about the length of a company.
The handle weighs more than ten pounds. When you swing it, you can hammer it a few times as long as you have a certain strength.
The master of making a small hammer lifts the hammer with one hand. The hammer weighs about 6 kilograms. The iron clip required in the other hand weighs about 4 kilograms. Since high temperature will be transmitted by the iron, the iron clip has a longer handle and the lever principle holds it.
When holding the high-temperature iron block, the hand is floating. Although one end is placed on the iron pier, the surface of the iron pier is spherical. The iron block placed on it is large and the small hammer hits it downwards, which requires a lot of strength to stabilize.
With.
The person using the small hammer is distracted when working. The left and right hands are working in different ways at the same time, and the strength of the two hands is uneven. They also need to carefully observe the direction of the sledge hammer with their eyes, and constantly move and adjust it. This force is stronger than that of using the sledge hammer.
Three times the amount of hard work, but also stability. You can see that the blacksmith master habitually stands up after not forging iron. Most of the time he has a hunched back, with his feet bent outwards, and he cannot use a sledgehammer.
Master Xiaochui is a middle-aged and elderly man. The skin on his face is densely wrinkled. He looks very old, but his body is very strong. The muscles on his body are sharp and angular. The muscles tremble as the hammer falls, as if they contain hidden treasures.
With endless power.
Sledgehammer is a boy.
The boy is about seventeen or eight years old, with dark skin and a round face. The muscles on his body are not as sharp and angular as those of middle-aged and elderly people, but they are very round and bulging, giving people the feeling that they are about to explode at any time.
Zhou Sen looked at the red piece of metal changing under the two hammers, one large and one small, and was distracted for a while.
Is it wrong that I am a weapon refining method?
There is no forging or beating in Zhou Sen's weapon making process. Under normal circumstances, he directly melts the metal into the shape he needs. What he does is mainly to fully melt the metal.
According to modern knowledge, during the process of repeated heating and beating of metal, the O2 in the air oxidizes the C and other impurities in the pig iron into slag and removes it, thereby achieving the C content required for steel.
The problem now is that Zhou Sen believes that he can completely remove the impurities by refining the weapon, and there is no need to beat it at all...
…
"Yoshiki!"
"Yoshiki!"
"I'm inside." Just when Zhou Sen was thoughtful, Xiao Jingjing's voice sounded outside.
"What are you doing? We have already chosen, don't wait any longer." Xiao Jingjing walked in, her bright eyes glanced at the old man and the young man and then said to Zhou Sen.
"Wait a moment." Zhou Sen turned around and bowed to the old man: "Excuse me, old gentleman, can you recommend an armor-breaking weapon?"
"What was broken?" the old man stopped and wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked.
"The exoskeleton that can break the armored giant cockroach, can break the exoskeleton armor!" Zhou Sen asked respectfully.
"As we all know, a cold weapon that can be called a ferocious one, in addition to being indestructible in killing enemies, must also have extremely high attainments in breaking armor. There are only a handful of weapons in history that can do this, but among these very few
Among the weapons, it is definitely the most fearful existence for the enemy on the battlefield. For this reason, ancient
In order to build these cold weapons, our army has invested a lot of energy and financial resources, but what makes them more gratified is that these cold weapons have contributed to good results and played a major role in winning the battle..." The old man seemed for a moment.
He opened his chat box and started talking non-stop.
"Grandpa, you are talking nonsense again!" The young man interrupted the old man mercilessly.
"Ahem... I have a bad habit. I can't stop talking about cold weapons. I have no choice but to make one for customers to choose, so as not to be unable to stand my nagging." The old man looked embarrassed.
"Haha, the old gentleman has a charming temperament. It doesn't matter. We have plenty of time, so just say it!" Zhou Sen said with a smile. Just as several people were talking, Sun Wenliang and the others walked in.
"Let's put it bluntly, my grandson is staring at me... I personally recommend the mace. This cold weapon is made of thick stainless steel, with a length of about 1.2 meters and a weight of up to 20 kilograms. The thin one
Soldiers generally cannot use it. This weapon was once used in
The most powerful thing on the ancient earth battlefield is the nail head on its hammer. Not only can you use it to restrain the attack of enemy weapons, but at the same time, with a strong swing, the violent impact can knock down anyone wearing a plate armor helmet.
Soldier, just crush the watermelon with a hammer, it's very abnormal."
"1.2 meters... is too long." Zhou Sen shook his head and objected.
"Then let's use the horse-cutting ax. The horse-cutting ax is specially designed to kill cavalry armed to the teeth, especially those cavalry equipped with armor on their horse legs. Under the attack of this weapon, not only the armor is broken, but also the armor is broken.
A horse's legs may be cut into two pieces, and its lethality is simply astonishing. It has no pressure to deal with armored giant cockroaches and exoskeleton armors. However, this weapon is too targeted, and because of its shape, it is used to kill enemies.
It has become a burden." The old man said.
"The horse-killing ax also has a long handle and is inconvenient to carry. Do you have any other suggestions?" Zhou Sen shook his head in denial again.
"Do you want to take it with you?" The old man frowned and looked at Zhou Sen.
"Yes."
"There are many, many armor-breaking weapons, most of which are bulky or have long handles, such as gilded hammers, etc... In fact, in the ancient earth era, heavy armors such as Mingguang armor and infantry armor appeared, as well as shaped cavalry,
Heavy infantry walks sideways on the battlefield. Each era has its own characteristics of heavy cavalry and heavy infantry, such as the Xuanjia Army and the Iron Kites.
, Iron Buddha, etc., ordinary weapons have limited damage to them. In this case, armor breaking becomes a necessity. In order to deal with heavily armored enemies, cold weapons, such as whips, maces, hammers, maces, etc., are used to deal with them.
The golden age has come and we have become a heavy-armored nemesis..." The old man started talking again, causing Xiao Jingjing next to him to frown.
"How about the mace?" Zhou Sen interrupted the old man.
"Everyone should know that the mace is undoubtedly the most powerful in terms of power and armor-piercing ability. Its sharp spikes are the biggest power output point. When hitting the human body, countless pieces of flesh can be torn off in an instant.
, and nailing the armor is as simple as chopping vegetables, so this is also
The main reason why many tiger generals favored this weapon in ancient times. However, most of this weapon has been collected in museums in later generations, and if it is too lethal and is used by lawless people among the people, the consequences are simply unimaginable..."
There was hesitation on the old man's face.
"Does the old gentleman mean that maces are more dangerous than laser guns?" Zhou Sen shrugged.
"Ahem...that's not the case...the old man just thinks the mace is too cruel and harmful to the world."
"Would it hurt Tianhe if I killed the giant armored cockroach?"
"This...actually...I don't have a mace..." the old man said weakly.
"Then forget it." Zhou Sen looked disappointed.
"Grandpa, don't you have a mace?" the young man said suddenly.
"Silly boy, that mace is no longer a simple weapon, but an antique heirloom! Do you understand antiques? It means they are very valuable!" The old man patted the young man's head dotingly.
"oh……"
"How much?" Zhou Sen asked straight to the point.
"Ah... little brother, that is an antique..."
"Old sir, please make a price!"
"This...this..." The old man looked hesitant and his eyes fell on the young man.
"Grandpa, swords are given to heroes, and pink powder is given to beauties. Since this little brother wants it, it's useless for you to keep it. I don't like it either, so you might as well sell it to him."
"That's our family heirloom!"
"Tch, it's just a mace. It's not like I don't know how to fight. I can make as many as I want." The young man scoffed.
"Old sir, please make a price, we are in a hurry!" Xiao Jingjing said a little impatiently.
"Then...then...then I will reluctantly give up my love! Two hundred thousand!" the old man gritted his teeth and said.
"Less." Zhou Sen stared at the old man with deep eyes.
"this……"
"Little brother, that is our ancestral treasure." The young man said quickly.
"Two hundred thousand, transferred!" Xiao Jingjing used a portable optical computer to complete the electronic payment.
"Yeah, I'll get it for you right now." The old man was overjoyed and quickly turned around and strode into the dark room inside.
"You insist on offering a price of 200,000 yuan for a five thousand yuan thing." Zhou Sen sighed.
"Five thousand... is this ancestral gadget worth five thousand?" Xiao Jingjing was stunned.
"Do you really believe it?"
"Did they lie to us?" Xiao Jingjing's eyes fell on the young man.
"Miss, we don't lie."
"Miss Xiao, believe it or not, there are a bunch of maces in that little dark room." Zhou Sen glanced at the little dark room that the old man walked into and said.
"I don't believe it!" Xiao Jingjing didn't believe that she had been deceived, and immediately walked towards the small dark room quickly.
"Little sister, little sister...ah..." The young man chased after him and tried to stop Xiao Jingjing, but Xiao Jingjing pushed him away and almost fell to the ground.
