"It's ready." Cui Qing replied with his red eyes. He hadn't slept for a full sleep these days. Looking at the previous batch of weapons, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.

"Open the furnace, cast the mold." Renault issued an order.

The molds today are very different from the beginning. After seeing the molds here, Renault kept putting forward suggestions for improvement. Although it was a little more troublesome, the molds now are much better.

The molds are divided into three rows, the Dachu halberd head, the horizontal knife, and the ox horn knife.

Renault can't do anything like casting a halberd rod with alloy, so it's not easy to add a hardcore.

The coolies carefully lifted the furnace out of the furnace. The furnace was too hot and needed to wear an iron bar to lift it. Another group of coolies rushed up and connected the iron hook and cable to the buckle under the furnace. This job is not easy, but it is not tired. However, the temperature is too high, so you should wear a linen and soak it with cold water. The movements should be steady, accurate and fast. A few more breaths may kill people.

During a few breaths, the retreating coolie had already steamed all over, surrounded by water mist. One coolie was in front of him, and two coolie pulled off the linen and poured two buckets of water on the coolie. Even so, the coolie sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

The coolies cooperated and, under the command of the craftsman, walked to the edge of the mold, found the distance, and at the command, pulled the iron cable, the furnace gallbladder slowly tilted, aimed at the mold, and injected the iron into the mold.

The furnace gallbladder looked quite small, but there was not much iron inside. There were five big Chu halberd heads, five horizontal knives, and the remaining iron was gone after only three ox horn knives cast, which was less than what was previously calculated.

When the iron cooled down and solidified to a certain extent, the coolies surrounded them again, clamped the iron embryo from the mold with iron clips, and stuck it into the urine with fire. The steaming urine and the strange smell forced Renault to retreat repeatedly.

In this era, it is unimaginable for the people on earth to create a good weapon. Although Renault had known the entire process before, imagination and seeing it with his own eyes are far from being.

The fire was completed, and the small furnace was already perfect. Several blacksmiths took their apprentices and clamped the iron embryo with iron pliers, put it in the small furnace and heated it again. After the iron embryo was burned red, the small hammer guided the sledgehammer and kept beating.

In the past, this process was forging, folding while forging, and repeated countless times to knock out the impurities in the embryo until the blacksmith was satisfied, and the shape of the weapon would be formed.

This time it is different. According to Renault's requirements, the blacksmiths only need to trim the shape, and they don't need to forge it. This is much easier. The mold is good. If you trim it a little, you can hit the blade. Then according to Renault's requirements, you can groove the sides of the horizontal knife and finish it.

Even though it was countless times easier than before, the blacksmiths were sweating profusely and worked hard until the afternoon to finish the work. The women had already prepared food. When they saw that the men were finished, they first came forward to pour water on them, then wiped them dry with a linen cloth, and then brought the rice.

Renault had already eaten it, and the lunch in Princess Villa was packed in boxes and delivered directly to the back garden. This was what Renault asked, watching the blacksmiths work until they were finished.

Don’t look at the tiring work here, let alone the blacksmiths, even the coolies here are happy. Usually they eat two meals a day, but after being transferred here, Renault asked for three meals a day, so naturally someone would mix the food. In Renault’s opinion, this is a pure physical work, can it be okay if the nutrition cannot keep up?

He took a few steps forward, reached out and lifted a horizontal knife, weighed it in his hand, which was similar to an ordinary horizontal knife. The blacksmith had already trimmed it, and had not yet opened the blade. The blade was not sharp, the blade was thick, and the material was very sufficient.

This is a common feature of the weapons of the Great Chu. Originally, Renault thought that the manpower here was strong, so it had to be thickened and heavier. Now he has reacted, and it is not the case at all.

Anyone who has played with swords knows that you can lift fifty kilograms or even one hundred kilograms with one hand, but the sword you use is only a few kilograms.

Some people on earth also play swords, not for fighting, but for fitness. This kind of sword usually weighs only two to three pounds.

The lightest horizontal sword here is more than ten kilograms. Waving the sword and carrying the sword are completely different.

"Come over with a horizontal knife." Renault said. He didn't understand weapons. The most intuitive way was to try it. It was a mule or a horse. Just pull it out and you would know it. No matter how beautiful the data was, it was not as good as the cut.

A Dingxi army was pulling out a horizontal knife, and the flesh on his face was thrusting, and another one was about to finish.

"This is not good. Cui Qing goes to get the horizontal sword he created two days ago." Renault said. The team's horizontal sword is skillful, and there is no effect when experimenting with it.

"Yes." Cui Qing ordered someone to take them away. The horizontal swords had been put away as if they were treasures. He didn't even give him Huya a gift, saying that he would have to have the permission of his husband, and asked Huya to ask him for it himself.

Renault flipped the blade, and the blade without a sharp edge rushed forward: "Tiger teeth, chop."

"Haol." Huya is the most obedient. He snatched the horizontal knife that had already been driven by the edge, held the knife with both hands, jumped up and slashed down with all his strength.

With a crisp sound of "clang", half of the blade fell to the ground, and tiger teeth stared blankly at the half blade in their hand, unable to believe their eyes.

I have tried this knife a lot before. I have cut ten Dingxi Army horizontal swords and kept cutting them. Just look for a blacksmith to repair it.

This is him slashing. Experts who use knives know that the same two swords have different skills in using force, and the results must be different. When he slashed, Renault carried it passively, and tiger teeth took advantage.

But... the knife in his hand was broken!

"Get another one over." Renault reached out and slid across the blade. The place where he was hit was slightly protruded, and the blade was still the same. It seemed nothing was wrong.

The craftsmanship is still too trendy. Renault has tried his best to do his best, but this knife is still not as good as the kitchen knife in the open-air market.

Well, at least this knife is already a weapon, much better than the previous garbage.

The second time was Renault slashing, and Tiger Teeth carried it. Tiger Teeth deliberately shaking the blade to relieve force. The result was no different. Everything was broken, and Renault easily broke the steel knife in Tiger Teeth's hand.

"Yeah, it's all right, this is a weapon."

Is this called making do with it?

This is called make do with it!

"Don't stop the furnace. The craftsmen who have time to finish the meal will cut these weapons. Give General Zhu, General Yang Feng and General Luo Yi a halberd head, plus a iron rod, and a horizontal knife. The rest will be divided by the Western Army." Renault said. This is obviously not enough to divide it. It seems that there will be a few more furnaces. It's a troublesome. This kind of repetitive work is a big annoying thing.

Unfortunately, smelting is different from papermaking. Without the analysis function of God of Wealth, even Renault cannot handle it. This is not entirely dependent on experience. The ore in each furnace is different, and the added manganese and carbon also need to be temporarily adjusted.

In fact, the process of Renault's smelting is not an ordinary layman. As long as he knows a little bit of smelting, he will not do this.

Weapons are not cast directly like this. First, iron and manganese must be extracted separately, then iron is smelted into steel, and finally the process of alloying.

Renault didn't understand, and he thought it was too troublesome. It took too long to refine it, so he was too lazy to wait. As a result, he smelted one-time smelting, and the gallbladder was all ore. Then he asked the craftsman to take the flying cow and cut off the flow of iron first, continue to smel, and then remove the slag after it is turned into iron, remove the slag, and then adjust the alloy ratio.

The disadvantages of this are too obvious. The slag removal is not clean and there is no forging. How good can the weapons directly cast be?

This is because the smelting level that bullies Da Chu is too low. If the same amount of alloy is used to build knives, the horizontal knife created by Renault is far worse than ordinary kitchen knives.

It was not until dark and after dinner, the second stove of stainless steel was released. This time it was impossible to cast it, so the blacksmiths had time to slowly forge and form it.

Just watching people work, Renault was very tired when he returned to the courtyard. He thought to himself, no wonder the ancient steel production was so low. After working for a day, hundreds of people surrounded him. A medium-sized furnace had a production of only more than 400 kilograms, which was too few.

The Ninth Princess didn't come today, and Sishen had already delivered dinner. Renault rinsed it briefly and sat down to have dinner with Huya.

Huya can already use chopsticks. Under the temptation of food, he learned quickly. Renault did not allow him to use knife and fork. In order to eat more, Huya was also hard-working. Seeing him skillfully using chopsticks, Renault was particularly proud. The best way to deal with foodies is food.

After taking a few bites, the sound of fighting came from afar. The two stopped at the same time, and tiger teeth rushed out with a "whisper" and the Yulin army in the rooms on both sides rushed out, opened the courtyard door, and looked into the distance.

"Sir, it's a shout of killing coming from the east."

On the east side? Renault's mind moved. It seemed that someone came over there and he was really brave. Originally, Renault thought they would not come, so he borrowed ten ninth-grade masters from Yang Feng, which seemed to be in vain.

"Let's go, take a look." Renault said, and ran to the stable first.

More Yulin Army and personal guards came and boarded their horses to protect Renault from his residence and rushed to the Secret Spies Department in the east. The corpse of the master who assassinated General Zhu was parked there.

The roof of the highest building in the Secret Spies Division, a strong man from fifty years outside stood on the head of the tiled beast with one foot, looking around, and found that it was surrounded by water. This made him unable to understand. When he came in, he was extremely careful and was discovered. When did the Secret Spies Division of the Great Chu become so powerful?

It’s not that the secret spies of the Great Chu are not good. If it were replaced by Shengjingluo City, he would never dare to come. But this is Dingjun City. The most closely guarded one should be the General’s Mansion. The secret spies in Dingjun City are mainly external and more relaxed inward.

The body rotated, waved his arms, knocked away the rain of arrows. Looking at the roof not far away, frowned, there were many good players around him, is the Dachu Secret Spies Department so strong?

At first glance, there are at least five ninth-grade warriors. Although he is not afraid, it is also a problem. Ninth-grade warriors are not afraid, and with more and more crossbowmen, the trouble will be great.
