Ah Ke's eyes were still fixed on the Qiongyuan Sword, and he said with great shock: "This sword contains very little red ore, mostly blue ore, and some other minerals and alloys. However, this sword is very powerful. , This is completely illogical. Even I can't do it. What kind of craftsman can make such a sword?"
I really didn’t expect Ah Ke to have such a high opinion of this sword. Lu Bingfeng immediately said, “A Ke, if such a weapon is enchanted, can it become a peerless weapon?”
"I dare not say that it is a peerless weapon, but it should be no problem if it is ranked among the best in the world."
"Then why don't your father come on stage and enchant it?" Lu Bingfeng said excitedly.
"A good weapon is indeed a good weapon, but it is not so easy to enchant it." Ah Ke handed the Qiongyuan Sword back to Hongli.
After taking the Qiongyuan Sword, Hongli said sincerely: "Miss Ake, I actually don't want any enchantment."
"Then what do you want?"
"This weapon is damaged in many places, and it is difficult for ordinary swordsmiths to repair it."
"Indeed, there should be no one in the world who can repair this sword. Either melt it, use more mature technology, add more red ore, or even purple ore, and finally recast it into the exact same shape. Although it may be more expensive, Jiang Zhi’s forces should not be short of money, so there is no reason to build a bad weapon for you, right?”
"Girl, I misunderstood. The lord will not treat me badly. It's just that this sword is a relic of my old friend. I don't want to recast it, but to repair it."
"Is this sword very important to you?" A Ke asked.
"Yes, this is the most important thing to me. This is the only thing in the world that cannot be replaced."
"That's really persistent, so let me ask, what is your old friend's name?"
"Wan Yansheng."
"I don't know, I haven't heard of it."
"He has lived in the north for a long time, so it is normal that the Yanhuang people have never heard of him. However, he is a first-class swordsmith. This Qiongyuan Sword has average power in the hands of the weak. But in the hands of the strong, it is invincible. . There must be few people in this world who can make such a sword."
"I'm a little unhappy when you say this. This sword is indeed difficult to cast, but for me, it is not impossible to cast. I can repair it, but it will take a lot of time to study it. Are you willing to give it to me first? Shall I keep it?"
"Leave it to you? How long will it take?" Hongli asked worriedly.
"It's hard to say. If it's fast, it'll be a few days. If it's slow, it'll be a few months. I can't tell."
Hearing this, Hongli hesitated temporarily, because this sword was too important to him. A few days would be fine, but if it was a few months, it would be too long.
At this time, Lu Bingfeng persuaded: "It's rare that Miss A'ke is willing to take this job. Why are you hesitating? As long as she figures out a method, your sword can be repaired in the future, and you don't have to worry anymore."
Ah Ke also urged: "Think clearly for yourself. After passing this village, there will be no such store. You'd better make a decision quickly, before I change my mind."
"Okay, here you go." Hongli reluctantly handed the Qiongyuan Sword to Ah Ke.
"Wait for my good news." Ah Ke smiled and left in a hurry.
Watching Ah Ke's leaving figure, Hongli was a little worried: "Is this person reliable?"
"I don't know, but this weapon is really awesome. It can actually let Ah Ke take over this job, and she doesn't want any reward. Don't you think it's strange?"
"You mean, she has a purpose?"
"Everyone has a motive for doing something. If I guess correctly, Ake's motive is to master Wan Yansheng's technology. Just imagine, it doesn't take much red ore to make a weapon so powerful. As long as you master this With this technology, we can use relatively cheap blue ore to create weapons that are not inferior to red ore."
"In that case, why should this weapon be given to A'ke? If she mastered this technology and used it in the military, wouldn't Nanshan City become more and more powerful?"
"No, just the opposite. When Ake masters this technology, she will find that Nanshan City cannot realize her ambitions and ambitions at all. Moreover, Ake and the military of Nanshan City have always had conflicts."
"You know this as well?"
"Have I stayed here for so long in vain?" Lu Bingfeng said with a smile.
"Then what's their conflict?"
"City Lord Wen Tianrui, in order to obtain good weapons, allowed Haoyue to open a weapons manufacturing factory in Nanshan City. The military purchases weapons from Haoyue every month, but the person who negotiates the price is always Ah Ke. Wen Tianrui particularly likes it. He was greedy for petty advantages and kept lowering the price. But Ah Ke refused to lower the price. Na Wen Tianrui couldn't get angry, so he tried every means to increase taxes and increase the rent of the arsenal. In short, he used various means to take advantage. What was Ah Ke's attitude towards? Wen Tianrui's opinion has long been as big as the sky. Once she masters this technology, she will never be satisfied with trading with the villain Wen Tianrui. When the time comes, you and I can negotiate and let Ah Ke go to Jiang Zhi Serve with power and guarantee that she will become the richest woman."
"You... think so far..."
"Haha, it's a bit far. These are things for later. Let's see if A Ke can study it first. It's probably a bit difficult."
"Um."
"By the way, Hongli, what the lord means is that I have to set off tomorrow. What are your plans? Go back with me?"
"My Qiongyuan Sword is here, of course I have to stay here."
"Okay, we don't have much time. I will take you to eat something delicious and spicy today. Enjoy it." Lu Bingfeng put his arm on Hongli's shoulder and said.
On the other side, Ah Ke used a special instrument to get some scraps from the Qiongyuan Sword's body, and then began to study the ingredients inside.
After hours of research, Ake only mastered a few of the mineral components.
"These ores are all miscellaneous ores. Are they really useful when put together?"
A Ke was very skeptical, but she could only try. She made a list with the names of the various ores and the mixing proportions of each ore. There are more than 100 mixing ratios alone. Ah Ke called his assistant and asked him to arrange the production first and try every mixing ratio.
It wasn't until late at night that Ah Ke returned to the villa.
Surprisingly, Haoyue didn't sleep. He was practicing swordsmanship with Gao Jian in the yard.
A Ke was a little relieved that Haoyue actually stopped playing games and started practicing swordsmanship.
"It's so late, are you still practicing?" Ah Ke jumped to their side.
"Sister, why did you come here?" Haoyue's legs became weak and she sat down.
"What is this?" A Ke asked Xiang Gaojian.
Gao Jian smiled and said to Haoyue, "You can tell yourself."
"Well, Gao Jian and I competed in a fighting game for 10 rounds. In the end, I lost 9 to 10. The condition for losing is that I have to practice swordsmanship with him until you come back. Sister, why are you back so late today? I have been practicing for ten hours."
"
Ten hours straight? "
"Okay, there's an hour to eat and rest in between."
"That's only nine hours."
"Not enough?"
"Okay, okay, today was very good. Let's practice again tomorrow."
"Thank you, sister. I really have to go to bed and rest."
"Go ahead."
After Haoyue left, Ah Ke looked at Gao Jian and asked curiously: "What? You can also play games? And you defeated Haoyue?"
"Who hasn't been young? The fighting game played by Haoyue is very classic. When I was his age, I was the top player in the arcade."
"No matter what, thank you."
"By the way, you came back too late today. The nanny has already gone to bed. How about I make something for you to eat?"
"No, I'll just eat some cookies. By the way, it might be very late in the future."
"Why is this?" Gao Jian asked doubtfully.
"I took on a new project and it will take some time to study it."
A Ke didn't say it clearly, because she didn't like Gao Jian and Haoyue's interference in many things outside. The less they know the better, and the less they show up the better.
On the other side, in the distant continent of Europe, Queen Mikasa began to gradually implement reforms, gradually reduce military investment, and began to pay attention to technology and people's livelihood.
Mikasa feels that the second universe has become more and more magical, and its development trajectory is completely different from the first universe. In the first universe, civilization and technology have been regressing, and only some technologies are very advanced. But in this universe now, technological civilization is developing rapidly. Especially the birth of the mechanical armor made Mikasa realize that it was much easier to control robots than the Kedoin family.
Mikasa is implementing reforms, but after Yanhuang Dole found out about it, he has been unhappy. Of course he didn't like this kind of reform that was unfavorable to the Kedoin family. He also wrote to the Queen more than once, strongly requesting that the intensity of the reform be reduced.
But Mikasa responded with a tough attitude: The labor force in the Zerg Kingdom is already seriously insufficient and can no longer support more military power. If we no longer pay attention to the development of people's livelihood, no longer build basic buildings, and no more low-level insect species are developed, the entire country will be destroyed from within. Starting to collapse. Especially the Misure pupa, once it starts running, it needs a steady stream of biological energy and absorbs hundreds of tons of food every day. The country cannot support this method of reproduction for a long time. If you want to have more children, then use normal mating methods to give birth to children and then raise them well. Only in this way is a sustainable development strategy.
What Mikasa said did sound very reasonable, and Dole couldn't say anything more, so he could only feel depressed.
And Dole's brother Zoe was so angry that he locked himself up. He shouted all day long: The queen is harming the country and the queen is stupid.
Zoe's abuse also reached Mikasa's ears, but Mikasa did not blame Zoe because many of what he said were right, such as the war-to-fight plan.
To support war with war is to plunder resources through war.
Perhaps the Zerg's national strength is a bit exhausted and its military strength has reached a saturation point. In this case, it is completely possible to invade Yanhuang and seize the manpower and resources here. Although a lot of troops will be lost, the national strength will be replenished. After all the enemies are eliminated, the Zerg can develop with peace of mind, and any reforms can be carried out steadily.
Of course Mikasa understood the truth, but she just wasn't willing to eliminate Jiang Feng now. If you really do this, what's the point of working so hard to cross over? Hasn’t it lost its original intention?
