Wood was stuffing snacks into his mouth. Although he had eaten a lot, he seemed to show no sign of stopping. I was embarrassed to reach out to take it because the plate had reached the bottom. Qiu Yue looked at Wood and smiled.
Then he said, "I didn't expect this snack to be so popular. If I had known, I would have made more of it."
Chiyoko kept praising on the side: "Yes, Miss Qin. These snacks of yours are indeed very special. I will definitely ask you for advice when I have time."
"It's so good. I'll have to ask you about the Japanese tea ceremony some other day, haha." Qiu Yue responded to Chiyoko politely, but her expression was full of pride.
When Brother Gang heard them talk about the Japanese tea ceremony, he suddenly became interested. He leaned forward and asked, "Miss Chiyoko, do you know anything about the forging of Japanese swords?"
"Well, I'm not very interested in knives. When I was young, Mr. Suzuki taught me and Kimura, and Kimura was very interested." Chiyoko didn't understand why Brother Gang would suddenly ask such a question.
.Except for Mr. Qin, everyone here was also confused about Brother Gang’s problem and looked at him without knowing why.
"Then try talking about it. Just say whatever you know." Brother Gang encouraged Chiyoko.
"Then let me think about it first, um..." Chiyoko lowered her head and thought for a moment, and then continued: "What I can remember is that there should be two major forging techniques: partial quenching and hundred steelmaking. In addition, in
Including the later grinding. Then there are the steel cladding, steel clamping, etc. I can’t remember clearly.”
Brother Gang looked at Mr. Qin, and then said to everyone: "Actually, what I want to say is, partial quenching." He paused and looked at us. We all looked at each other with blank expressions on our faces.
I opened my mouth and asked, "Brother Gang, your topic is too jumpy. What's going on here!"
Brother Gang waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious. Now let me talk about the important point. In fact, what I care about is not how to make a knife, but a kind of local quenching method in the process of making a knife: covering the soil and burning the blade. This kind of
This method was widely used to make the famous Tang Dao in the Tang Dynasty. The biggest use of this kind of knife was combat. Therefore, the Tang Dao was best at breaking armor and was very durable. For war knives, breaking armor requires hardness and a sharp edge.
The mouth must be narrow, and durability requires toughness. Therefore, the Tang knife at that time adopted the most advanced steel-clad technology, with wrought iron as the outer skin and steel in the middle. Some of the cutting edges used local quenching technology, that is, the cutting edge was hard enough to chop.
It can cut and break armor, and at the same time, the blade is tough, does not deform, and is durable.”
"What's the point? I still don't understand. Brother Gang, what exactly are you going to say? Stop beating around the bush and explain it clearly!" Qiu Yue became impatient and couldn't help but interject.
"The key point is the earth used in the earth-covered burning blade. This is a specially prepared soil. It is not just soil that you can bend down and pick up from the ground casually. The so-called preparation is actually the soil.
A certain proportion of frequency source material was mixed into the soil. In the Tang Dynasty, the New Territory, Yuanjie and Sub-realm had not yet reached a quota agreement on the frequency source material. Therefore, the frequency source material used to blend this soil at that time could only be New Territory soil.
I mined and extracted it myself, and this technology only existed during the Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty, this earth-covering and burning blade method was lost. Of course, this technology was learned by Japan, who learned everything about the Tang Dynasty at that time.
However, they only inherited the form of the earth-covered burning blade, and did not know how the earth was mixed. Therefore, although the later Japanese swords were extremely sharp, their lack of durability became its natural weakness."
Brother explained with a serious face.
"How come this earth-covering and burning blade technique for forging Tang knives has been lost? What a pity." I shook my head and sighed, but Qiu Yue looked at me with big eyes. I was so shocked by her look.
, suddenly woke up and asked in a trembling and excited voice: "Brother Gang, what do you mean, let us go to the Tang Dynasty to find this kind of blended soil?"
"That's right, if you find this kind of blended soil, you can learn the method of mining and extracting the source material." Mr. Qin replied, while Brother Gang nodded with a smile.
Wow, wow, wow! Time travel! Really time travel! I really didn’t believe my ears. When I was still immersed in excitement, the conversation between Qiu Yue and Brother Gang made me sober up a lot.
"But, has no one done this before?" Qiu Yue asked calmly.
Brother Gang nodded and shook his head and said, "Some people have done it, but no one has succeeded."
When I was yearning for the prosperity of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Brother Gang's words were like pouring cold water on my head, which made me wake up immediately. After all, life is more important.
"How did they fail?" Chiyoko asked softly.
"Well, there are three main reasons: First, if you want to return to the Tang Dynasty, you need to pass the frequency barrier. This process is similar to passing the frequency barrier, but its risk factor is much higher than passing the frequency barrier. Consciousness
The possibility of the body being annihilated is greater. Therefore, there have been several failures, even failing to pass the traceback barrier." Brother Gang's face became more serious and even sad.
"Tracking barrier? What is this?" I just woke up and was confused by the unfamiliar concept again. I really can't stand it. It's like this every time. I'm the only one who acts like a fool.
Before Brother Gang could explain, Chiyoko spoke first: "Have you heard of the Hubble Telescope?"
I nodded, of course I knew this.
"Hubble observes distant galaxies, but it has also captured scenes of star explosions billions of years ago. That is because the light produced by galaxy explosions in ancient times has been traveling in the universe until it was observed by Hubble.
In the same way, there are different frequency barriers in different historical periods. Because the frequency field always complements time, so by tracing back the frequency barriers, you can return to the corresponding era. This is true in any of the three realms.
It’s all achievable.”
"But it was a journey full of dangers." Brother Gang added.
I looked at Wood. Although he had been listening, his face was not as ugly as Brother Gang, and he looked calm.
So, I asked Wood: "Mr. Wood, you must have passed the frequency barrier not once or twice, right?"
"Of course, why else would you want me to come to you? Mr. Yuchi also said just now that I am actually mainly playing the role of a guide. When I get to the place, I'm afraid you have to find a way. My other job is to serve as your guide.
The bodyguards on the trip will bring you back safely." Wood did not look at me, but stared at the several empty plates on the table and used his fingers to scratch the bottom of the plates, where there were not many snack remnants left.
"Mr. Wood, if you like to eat, I will make some for you later. Oh, by the way, if we go to the Tang Dynasty, if conditions permit, I can also try to cook it for you using Tang Dynasty ingredients.
, how about it?" Qiu Yue lost no time in trying to please her.
Wood was obviously more interested in this. He immediately raised his head, his eyes were shining, he nodded excitedly, and said yes repeatedly. Wood's indifferent attitude was as if this was just an ordinary business trip, and it was a provincial city.
However, we feel relieved a lot. With Wood here, what else do we have to worry about?
Brother Gang coughed slightly and continued: "I haven't finished what I just said, there are two more points." Qiu Yue quickly signaled Chiyoko and I to quiet down and continue to listen to Brother Gang.
"The second thing is that Wood just mentioned being a bodyguard for you, because in order to prevent us from getting the methods of frequency source mining and extraction from the Tang Dynasty, Yuanjie and Subjie have secret agents stationed there all year round. Once discovered,
People from the future in the New Territories will be killed without mercy immediately, do you understand?" Brother Gang said with a livid face, while glaring at Wood.
Wood let out a long sigh, spread his hands and said, "Yes, I once served as a secret agent from the sub-realm stationed in the Tang Dynasty, and I also killed future people from the New Territory. I'm really sorry." After saying that, Wood lowered his head.
.
"Then what's the third point?" I ignored Wood, because I had seen the things Wood had done in his subconscious.
"The last point is that in the Tang Dynasty, there were not many people who could handle this kind of soil preparation, because it was a top-secret military secret, and precisely this point may be the reason why the frequency source material mining and extraction methods were lost.
Right." Brother Gang couldn't help but feel the generalization, "In other words, you still need to face the powerful military and secret service agencies of the Tang Empire. Therefore, we almost succeeded several times, but our people were defeated by the Tang Empire.
The samurai of the dynasty were killed."
"Impossible! We people in the past must have used incarnations. At worst, we could escape from the incarnations and return to the current new world through the traceback barrier." I asked puzzledly.
"Hmph! Do you think the spies from the Yuan Realm and the Sub-realm are just doing nothing? Although it is impossible for them to detect all the future people from the New Realm who arrived in the Tang Dynasty, once the incarnations of the future people from the New Realm are eliminated, the consciousness that escapes will
The body frequency field is completely different from that era, just like Xingli, when you first came here, Qiu Yue taught you how to monitor the wandering souls in the city, but it is much more sophisticated than our methods."
Brother explained.
"That is to say, once the consciousness of the future people in the New World escapes, it will be immediately discovered and annihilated by spies from the Yuan Realm or Sub-realm." I suddenly said.
"That's right, and there, the interests of the Yuan Realm and the Sub-realm are highly consistent, so they can sincerely cooperate there, but this is very unfavorable for us in the New Realm, so so far there has been no
I can succeed once." Brother Gang's voice became low, and frustration spread around him.
"Yes, this is a very arduous task. It is no exaggeration to say that if it succeeds, it will have a historic impact on the structure of the Three Realms. So you must be careful. It is best if you succeed, but don't do it recklessly. The situation is not good.
If so, just retreat back and we'll find another way, don't risk our lives." Mr. Qin ordered, while his heavy face was full of worry.
I straightened up and assured Mr. Qin: "Don't worry, Mr. Qin. With Wood here, we should be very sure of success this time. But please don't worry, we will return safely." To be honest, now in my heart
I've already started to feel anxious.
"This is the best, this is the best." Mr. Qin glanced at us and said, "Mr. Wood, I really owe it to you this time, thank you."
Wood still looked calm, and he replied: "Mr. Qin, although I can't guarantee that I will be able to achieve my goal. However, I can 100% guarantee that I will bring them back safely. Please don't worry.
"
Mr. Qin nodded and said nothing more, because there really was no need to give too many instructions to Wood. Brother Gang stood up and said to everyone: "Then everyone should prepare separately first. I will check and modify it first to maintain it."
cabin, and inject the frequency source quality brought by Miss Chiyoko into it to ensure that you will be foolproof when passing through the traceback barrier."
But Qiu Yue interrupted: "What about our lobster?"
Brother Gang laughed loudly, pointed at Qiu Yue and said: "I know there are people who will never forget lobsters. Don't worry, this matter won't be dirty. I will come over and call you when I finish the work at hand. Don't worry, it's almost
I can’t help you, and I have enough to take care of.”
