Gao Yiye came to the blacksmith shop.
There is a lively atmosphere here, and you can feel the huge heat inside just standing outside the door...
She didn't dare to rush in for fear of causing trouble, so she stood at the door and called inside: "Li Da, Gao Yiyi, are you there?
Li Da and Gao quickly got out of it.
"Tianzun asked me to ask you, how is the progress of the Hongyi Cannon?"
Gao Yiyi had an embarrassed look on his face: "This...cough...
Li Daoxuan saw that there must be a problem: "What happened?"
Gao Yiyi said: "The manufacturing process of the cannon is too complicated. We have been using it for many days and still haven't finished one.
Li Daoxuan: "Oh!"
Got it!
At that time, casting a cannon could not be done by hand in just two clicks. Just making the barrel required a lot of processes.
Because iron cannons are easy to explode, the information provided by Song Yingxing stated that a mixed metal of iron and copper should be used, which can be regarded as an "alloy".
One can imagine how difficult it was to make "alloys" due to the production capacity at that time. Craftsmen had to mix iron and copper in a certain ratio and smelt the iron and copper. This process alone took a lot of time.
Then, the blacksmiths have to make a sand mold or clay mold. They make the mold from the extremely ripe clay in the spring and then slowly dry it in the shade, or bake it thoroughly with charcoal fire. The mold making time is at least one month and up to three months. months..........
And one clay mold can only cast one cannon.
This production cycle is a headache to hear.
Li Daoxuan thought to himself: If you do this, it will take several months to produce one cannon, and my ship needs twelve. Cai Xinzi went to build a ship model for me again. It won't take long before I can Hundreds of cannons were needed.
If I ask you to do it slowly like this, will it take me as long as the monkey year and the horse month?
Li Daoxuan thought for a while, as long as the blacksmiths know how to make cannons, it is monotonous, boring and time-consuming."
There is no need for them to do the casting step themselves. Let me provide them with the barrel.
You definitely can’t buy gun barrels directly on a certain treasure!
So what replacement should I buy?
Li Dao
The outer diameter can be as low as 0.2mm, and the wall thickness can be as low as 0.08mm. Steel pipes larger than this specification can basically be customized at will. Of course, you can't customize it too thick, because if it is thick enough, it may be used to "make a gun barrel", which would be very punishing. Those who sell steel pipes and those who buy steel pipes both have to use sewing machines.
If you just customize very thin capillary steel pipes, you don't need to use a sewing machine, so you can order them at will.
Li Daoxuan quickly chatted with the shop owner privately: "I want to order some capillary steel pipes. Do you have the goods there?"
Shopkeeper: "Dear, of course we have the goods. We accept both ready-made and customized items.
Li Dao For the barrel structure of the cannon, you can find a picture of the Hongyi cannon on Du Niang and make a woolen steel pipe according to that. It only requires a similar structure, not an appearance."
The shop owner was a little confused: "Made capillary steel tubes into the structure of ancient cannons? What kind of idea is this? Dear, your request is a bit strange. What is it used for? I can't understand it."
Li Daoxuan: “I’ll add money! Double it!
Shop owner: "Dear! You are not strange at all, you are so handsome. I completely understand the look you want, and I guarantee to complete the task!"
At noon the next day….
Takumi!
Gao Yiye came to the craftsman's well with two more secretaries.
When she came yesterday, the blacksmiths could not give Tianzun a satisfactory progress, and they were feeling uneasy. They were afraid that Gao Yiye was here to speed up the progress, but unexpectedly Gao Yiye said with a smile: "Tianzun has ordered, you don't want it for the time being. If you work hard on the barrels, Tianzun will give you a batch of fairy barrels."
"Cannon barrel in the fairy world?" The blacksmiths were a little confused: "Do the gods also use cannons when they fight?
Li Daoxuan: "..."
Gao Yiye was also confused, and then he laughed loudly: "Of course the gods use immortal methods to fight, but there are not only gods in the sky, but also heavenly soldiers and generals, and the heavenly soldiers also need to use weapons."
Then the blacksmiths suddenly realized: "Yes, the heavenly soldiers also have to fight."
Gao Yiye raised his head: "Everyone, take a look."
Li Daoxuan grabbed a handful of woolen steel pipes just delivered by the courier boy and slowly put them down. This batch of woolen steel pipes were all only 15mm long and had an inner diameter of 0.6mm, which was exactly the same size as the Hongyi cannon.
As soon as he put this thing into the craftsman's well, the craftsmen were dumbfounded.
"Is this... so smooth?
"It's so bright, brighter than a bronze mirror."
"What a beautiful barrel.
"It's truly a cannon barrel from the Immortal family."
"Quickly, push this thing into the craftsman's well. With this, we can make the cannon right away."
The blacksmiths howled with excitement when they saw Tianzun laying down a pile of fairy cannon barrels like a hill. How many cannons could he make? So cool!
Li Daoxuan thought to himself: Now my big ship will be filled with cannons soon, right?
Just as I was thinking of this, I suddenly saw a group of people entering Gaojia Village in a hurry. The leader was Bai Yuan, followed by a group of servants and a dozen men wearing tattered clothes. The men were wearing bamboo hats and hats. Lowering his head, Li Daoxuan looked down from the sky, unable to see his face.
He had no choice but to use the "Follow" function. This time, he could no longer only look down, but could rotate 360 degrees to see the group of people at close range. Only then did he see two familiar faces, one was Bai Shui Wang Er, and the other was Bai Shui Wang Er. One of them was Wang Er's close subordinate named Baimao. The other unfamiliar faces were probably from the group of Wangjia Village people who followed Wang Er back then.
Li Daoxuan was surprised: Huh? Wang Er is back again?
oh!
Understood!
Wang Jiayin must be coming!
With a curious expression on his face, he looked at the long-lost Gaojiacun, as if Alice in Wonderland, or Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.
At this time, Bai Yuan and his party had just walked into Gaojia Village and were rushing towards the main castle. Behind them, Wang Er and his party were seeing all kinds of strange things. Wang Er and his party were dazzled by what they saw. They didn't expect that. After being away from home for more than two years, I came back to see what Chengcheng County had become like this.
Wang Er couldn't help but sigh: "How on earth is this done?"
Bai Yuan: "There are many things worthy of your astonishment. Now is not the time to look at these. Let's go to the main castle to meet Thirty-Two and the Saint.
