"Gold? Then you underestimate it!" Xiao Han struggled to bend down and pick up the iron pipe from the ground.
The iron pipe was very heavy, and he was injured now, so it was very strenuous. After finally holding it and standing upright, Xiao Han breathed out, looked at the two of them and asked, "Do you know what makes this pipe?" Was it made?"
"What else can you do? Just find a blacksmith and hammer it out for you!" Cheng Yaojin snorted dissatisfied.
When Xiao Han heard this, he rolled his eyes at him: "Knocked out? Then look at it, are there any seams?"
"Are there no seams?" Lao Cheng wondered. He lowered his head and took a closer look at the iron pipe and found that there was indeed no seam!
However, there were so many things without joints. He still said indifferently: "If it's not knocked, it's made from a furnace of molten iron! What's so great about it?!"
Seeing Cheng Yaojin's appearance, Xiao Han trembled with anger and almost swung the pipe on his head: "You said it was cast? Then look at it, are there any traces of casting on its surface? Is it cast? The hole?"
"Tch, I'm not a black-faced monster. I don't know anything about blacksmiths! Just tell me how it's made. You don't have to make so many twists and turns with me!" Cheng Yaojin snorted coldly. The black-faced monster in his mouth is naturally what he is talking about now. Chi Gong, the Duke of E State.
Because before Yuchi Jingde joined the army, he went to a blacksmith shop to earn a living for a period of time. Now he is often laughed at by Cheng Yaojin, and others also know that he used to be a blacksmith.
Xiao Han rolled his eyes when he heard this, ignored Cheng Yaojin, and handed the iron pipe to Chai Shao with great effort: "Brother Chai, take a look!"
"Okay, let me take a look!" Chai Shao was also curious about what was special about this iron pipe. Hearing what Xiao Han said, he took it.
As a result, as soon as he got this thing, he immediately realized that this inconspicuous pipe was much heavier than he imagined! No wonder Xiao Han had so much trouble picking it up just now.
Chai Shao himself was the chief of the marching army. Although this official name sounded a bit like the chief of the eunuchs...
But in fact, this official position is extremely important in the military. He is not only responsible for marching and fighting, but also responsible for the procurement and distribution of all military supplies, so he has some understanding of the most common iron tools.
Now, the iron pipe in my hand is about as thick as an arm, more than three feet long, well-proportioned in size, and feels extremely smooth to the touch.
Immediately afterwards, Chai Shao changed his posture, holding the iron pipe with one hand and tapping it with the knuckles of the other hand. He heard the iron pipe make a crisp sound, followed by a lingering sound for a long time, which showed its material. Excellent!
If you look at it carefully, you can also find that between its outer wall and inner wall, there are winding patterns that seem to grow in circles!
"Huh? This pattern shows through from the outside to the inside, but there are no seams all over the body. What's going on?" Seeing these patterns, Chai Shao finally noticed the strangeness of this iron pipe. He couldn't help but frown and let out a cry of surprise. .
Xiao Han chuckled, gave Chai Shao a thumbs-up gesture, then changed his gesture and pointed at the pipe and said to him: "Look at the other side of the pattern!"
"What about the other side?"
Chai Shao didn't know what Xiao Han meant by this, but he still followed the instructions and looked at the opposite place on the inner wall. Unexpectedly, just by looking at it, his eyes immediately lit up!
It turns out that this pattern actually runs through the entire iron pipe. As long as the four sides are symmetrical up and down, the patterns are exactly the same!
"How come these patterns are the same! Could it be that this was originally an iron pillar! It was shaped over thousands of times and then someone dug out the middle?"
Chai Shao is indeed an expert in iron tools. As soon as Xiao Han reminded him, he immediately roughly guessed the making skills of this iron pipe! But he still couldn't believe it: this piece of steel was so good, what method did Xiao Han use to get it!
"Haha, what an insight!"
Xiao Han noticed Chai Shao's question and couldn't help but chuckle. Then he looked at Cheng Yaojin demonstratively and said, "Brother Chai is right, this was originally a pillar! The skilled craftsmen worked hard to cut the middle After drilling in, I got this piece of pipe. Do you think it’s not worth all the effort and thought?”
Cheng Yaojin was very angry at Xiao Han's contemptuous eyes. Now that he heard his arrogance, he couldn't help but interjected: "Bah! It's worth a shit! According to me, old Cheng, you are just a pain in the ass." , What kind of iron pipe cannot be used and you have to dig it out with a pillar? Take off your pants and fart, it is unnecessary!"
"Tch! What do you know? If ordinary iron pipes can be used, why would I go to all this trouble?"
Xiao Han scolded Cheng Yaojin, and then continued without waiting for him to reply: "Although this pipe is ordinary, the steel it uses is slightly stronger than your Bailian Sword! As for why? It doesn't need to be cast. This is difficult to understand based on your wisdom. Just be clearer. Only the iron pipes taken out in this way can withstand the power of those new gunpowders! If you really use ordinary pipes, hum. , before you kill others, kill yourself first!"
Chai Shao was still looking at the iron pipe in his hand, wondering what he could use to dig out a piece of such good steel from the middle. When he heard Xiao Han's words, he couldn't help but raise his head and asked with burning eyes: "Xiao Han , Let’s not talk about how this thing is made! I just want to ask how powerful it is?"
"Power?" Xiao Han didn't expect Chai Shao to ask this suddenly. After scratching his head, he said: "This is a bit hard to say. The one you have is less powerful. Once activated, it can only guarantee that all humans and animals will be killed within fifty steps. Death.
And some of the big guys in Qinling that imitate it are more powerful, and they can probably smash the gates of Yangzhou City with one blow! As for further development, there is no end! One day, it is not impossible to find that one shot can destroy an entire city..."
"Break the city gate with one blow?"
Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao were already stunned before Xiao Han finished speaking! They had seen the city gates of Yangzhou City. Even if they were not as good as those of Chang'an, they were not much different. How could a city gate like this disappear all at once? Will we still have to pay for our lives when we attack the city in the future? !
"I don't believe it, I, Old Cheng, want to give it a try! Even if I can't see the big guy you said can destroy a city, I can try this little thing!"
After being stunned for a while, Cheng Yaojin finally came to his senses, grabbed the iron pipe from Chai Shao's hand, and began to squat on the ground to play with it.
Xiao Han crossed his arms and looked at him like an idiot: "Hey, there's no ammunition left!"
"Where's the ammunition?" Cheng Yaojin suddenly raised his head and asked.
Xiao Han sarcastically said: "Nonsense, that kind of thing will naturally be left alone by a good life."
Cheng Yaojin stretched out his hand, just like a child asking for lucky money from his elders during the New Year, he said confidently: "Take some out, I want to try it!"
Xiao Han's eyes widened: "Try it, try it there? Do you want to demolish my house?"
"Then go out of the city and try!" Cheng Yaojin still reached for ammunition.
Xiao Han rolled his eyes: "Humph, you go, I won't go..."
Cheng Yaojin chuckled, suddenly looked at Chai Shao, and then eagerly came over: "No, you have to go too!"
Xiao Han was stunned: "Why... Hey, hey! Come here, someone has robbed a good woman and a good man! Ouch, my ass, I am a sick person..."
Finally, Xiaodong, who came after hearing the sound, saw Cheng Yaojin and Chai Shao holding Xiao Han and walking away all the way. Oh, I forgot, Gouzi with a look of resentment was still following behind.
It’s not that he is unfaithful to protect his master, it’s just a fight between gods and gods. It’s better to stay away from him, a brat. Sometimes even just looking at him is a sin...
