The noise in the ironworks became louder and louder, and no one could understand that Master Fen would take the initiative to admit defeat.
Even if this doesn't compare, why would you admit defeat? Could it be said that it was due to Lord Wu's power? This doesn't exist. The young people in front of me are ordinary and what kind of background do they have? Besides, they are hired craftsmen, so there is nothing to be afraid of!
"Master, please say something and we will support you!"
"Yes, Master, as long as you say a word, we will support you to the end!"
Listening to the noise around him, Master Fen frowned and looked at everyone and said, "I've already given up, why don't you give up? Since you don't give up, let's see the results!"
As he spoke, Master Fen took an iron sword from the side and threw it to the person who made the loudest noise just now: "Use the sword in your hand to fight me!"
The man was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Master Fen meant, but he was not vague. He clenched his iron sword and swung it at Master Fen.
Master Fen was not idle either. He also swung his sword. The two swords struck each other in the air. There was only a crisp sound. One of the swords was broken into two pieces in the air. One piece fell to the ground and another sound was heard. There was a sound, but the other sword was intact.
Everyone looked at it intently and took a breath.
"How can this be?"
"The sword made by Master Fen actually broke?"
"This is not true, is it?"
"Is that sword so powerful?"
"Master Fen is indeed Master Fen. He has expected this a long time ago. We didn't know it yet and thought we would win!"
The craftsman holding the broken sword was also confused. He didn't know what was going on. Master Fen was defeated?
Or was he defeated by his own hands?
"Now you know why I gave up? We are all frogs in the well!" Master Fen was happy and directly admitted his failure.
"Master, you don't have to be like this, it was just a joke!" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
"If you lose, you lose. Since you have lost, it doesn't matter if I hand over my old bones to the ironworks. However, as a person from the ironworks, should I give me the method of making iron just now?" Huh?" There was a smile on Master Fen's lips, like a drunkard meeting fine wine, or a lustful person meeting a beautiful woman, and he almost burst into laughter.
Luo Zhang couldn't help but laugh, and called Master Fen aside alone and said: "Master Fen, you should have seen all my operations just now, and the key is this ferrosilicon ore. I think you also know what kind of mine this is, and here The things mined are used to refine the materials I just made!"
"What? The ore mined in this mine is the material for refining the sword you just made?" Master Fen asked with his eyes widened.
"That's right, otherwise why would I build a fortress here? You can imagine the importance of this mine!" Luo Zhang said seriously.
Master Fen couldn't help but nodded and said: "Yes, no matter who owns this thing, he will value it. If these materials are used to make iron swords and armor, who can be his enemy?"
"Master, this was my first time refining it just now. As for the ratio issue, I have to leave it to you to research. You can use the materials as you like. If it is not enough, just tell our Lord Wu. As for what to create, we will give it to you later." I will tell you when the time comes. For the time being, you can refine some swords or armor first and get familiar with the materials. By the way, I call this material steel!" Luo Zhang said softly.
"Steel?" Master Fen nodded silently. No wonder, no wonder Luo Zhang had to refine it three times before he succeeded. It turned out that he didn't know the ratio. This made Master Fen feel a little relieved. If Luo Zhang was really such a monster, he would really have no shame in living. .
However, Master Fen is even more curious about Luo Zhang's identity. Being able to have Wu Shaobin accompany him and speak so calmly and calmly is not something ordinary people can have. Could it be that this person in front of him is Luo Zhang? That's not right. Isn't Luo Zhang fighting against the Turks in the north? He probably hasn't come back yet.
He didn't understand, and Master Fen didn't want to understand. For him, these things were not as important as the steel in his hands. He stopped paying attention to Luo Zhang and went to study the refining of steel excitedly.
Watching Master Fen go away, Wu Shaobin was speechless. How could he earn a great craftsmanship like this? He really didn't know what to say about his brother-in-law. There seemed to be nothing he didn't know how to do. He even knew how to blacksmith, and he even compared himself to a great craftsman. This was a living hell.
"Let's go, take me to other places!" Luo Zhang said with a smile.
After walking around the ferrosilicon mine again, Luo Zhang was very satisfied with the protection here. With such protection, Changsun Wuji couldn't attack at all, let alone get the ferrosilicon ore. As long as he mastered the ferrosilicon ore, No matter how much he jumped around, it was useless.
In a house in the ferrosilicon mine, Luo Zhangduan was sitting in it writing furiously, and he quickly drew several drawings.
Wu Shaobin on the side kept looking at what Luo Zhang had drawn, but he couldn't understand it after looking at it for a long time. Luo Zhang was still drawing, so he couldn't ask questions and could only wait quietly aside.
When Luo Zhang stopped writing, Wu Shaobin hurriedly said: "Luo Zhang, what are you drawing? I can't understand it at all!"
Luo Zhang rolled his eyes and said: "You want to understand what you are doing? Do you want to go to blacksmithing? Send these to Master Fen and let him build them according to what I drew. When he can build these things, I will also There are more important things for him!"
"If you don't tell me, don't tell me. It's so mysterious!" Wu Shaobin curled his lips and said, but he still took the things away and gave them to Master Fen.
The drawings Luo Zhang handed over to Wu Shaobin showed the making styles of Mitsubishi thorns, engineer shovels and Japanese samurai swords. These things have made a huge leap forward in the transformation of military weapons.
If all sergeants were equipped with weapons made of these steels, one can imagine what advantages they would have on the battlefield.
Of course, for the time being, Luo Zhang will only equip his own people with these weapons. As for promoting all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, that is not Luo Zhang's concern. That is a headache for Li Shimin. If he wants to promote the entire Tang Dynasty, that's no problem. Just take the money. , it’s easy to say anything if you give me money, but you don’t have any money? If you don’t have money, just wait until you have money!
Luo Zhang didn't want to pay for Li Shimin. This was not a small sum of money. If he wanted to promote the upgrade of soldiers' equipment throughout the Tang Dynasty, it would cost a huge amount of money.
After a while, Wu Shaobin came back, followed by Master Fen. As soon as he entered the door, Master Fen asked: "Young man, the drawing you gave me..."
Before Master Fen finished speaking, Luo Zhang interrupted: "Master Fen, you just need to build it according to what I drew. You will know why by then. Just build it and let Master Wu call me." , there is no need to ask too many other questions.”
Master Fen was stunned, looking at the drawing in his hand, and then at Wu Shaobin. When he saw Wu Shaobin nodded to him, he agreed.
