Blacksmith Yang said with a proud smile, "This is the best knife I've ever made, but it's thanks to you that you gave me that thing called ore."
"It's tungsten ore." Li Qian said with a smile.
"Yes, yes, it's tungsten ore." Blacksmith Yang patted his forehead in embarrassment. He couldn't remember the name of such an important thing.
"By the way, how do you know about that thing?" Then he couldn't help but ask.
It's not surprising that he couldn't remember the name, he had never heard of it before.
Even if he had stayed in Jiangzuo camp for so long, he would not have known that such a thing existed.
After all, the smelting technology of Dacheng Dynasty was still very primitive, and not many people knew about tungsten mines.
Li Qi'an accidentally discovered some black stones when he was clearing Heifengling last time. At first, he thought they were coal ores. After all, natural black stones are not very common.
He was even a little excited at the time. If he could find another coal mine, it would be really big.
As a result, I picked up the stones and took a closer look. They were not coal ore.
Although it was not coal ore, he found that these black stones had a distinct metallic luster, and he suddenly thought that they might be tungsten ore.
This thing is also a treasure.
Tungsten steel can be smelted. The biggest feature of tungsten steel is that it is hard and wear-resistant and is not afraid of annealing.
The knives created can definitely be said to be able to cut iron like clay.
As for how those tungsten ores appeared in Heifeng Ridge, he asked Chang Xiong at the time. Unfortunately, Chang Xiong didn't know where these stones came from. He only said that they might have been transported when Heifeng Ridge was building the city wall.
Afterwards, he walked around Heifeng Ridge and found no trace of tungsten ore, so he had no idea where the tungsten ore came from.
What I brought back only weighed a few hundred kilograms.
At that time, he left it to Blacksmith Yang to figure out whether he could try to make tungsten steel.
It was not until today that Blacksmith Yang finally created such a black knife.
Of course, compared to his time, the tungsten steel craftsmanship of this knife is definitely incomparable. After all, the technical conditions are limited, but it is enough. At least it is many times stronger than those ordinary knives.
In response to Blacksmith Yang's question, Li Qian just smiled and said, "I read it in a book."
Blacksmith Yang rolled his eyes at him. Last time when I asked about that kind of crossbow, he said he saw it in a book. So why didn't anyone else see it? Only you saw it.
However, he also knew that there were some things he couldn't ask.
He only knew that if this kind of knife could be made, all other knives would be rubbish.
If this was taken to the battlefield, it would definitely chop off the enemy's head like a watermelon.
"Boss An, you know that there are so many magical weapons, but haven't you ever thought of dedicating them to the imperial court?" At that moment, he couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle Yang, why is it that the first thing you think of is to dedicate it to the imperial court?" Li Qian said with a smile.
Blacksmith Yang sighed and said, "Boy An, you have never been in a military camp. You have no idea how those foreigners annexed our Dacheng country and massacred our Dacheng people. If the imperial court could possess these magical weapons, Wouldn’t it be possible to win more battles and kill more foreign enemies?”
"It seems that Uncle Yang is really concerned about the country and the people." Li Qian said with a smile.
"Worrying about the country and the people is out of the question. After all, I don't have any skills other than blacksmithing. But An, boy, you are different. I can see that as long as you are willing, you can definitely achieve great success!" Blacksmith Yang looked at Li deeply. Qi'an said.
Li Qian smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, I have told you before that I am just a small villager who has only studied for a few years. I am not someone who does big things."
"Boy An, this is not a question of whether you can do big things, but whether you are willing or not. Since you are not willing, just pretend I didn't say anything." Blacksmith Yang sighed.
"It's just Mr. An, aren't you afraid that I will steal all these things from you?"
"Uncle Yang already knows how to do it, how can he be called a thief?" Li Qian said with a smile, "Besides, without Uncle Yang, I wouldn't be able to do these things."
Blacksmith Yang sighed and shook his head, "Boy An, I really have nothing to say to you. If you can trust me so much, it's worth it for me to stay with you for the rest of my life. Okay, let's get down to business. Why do you want me to hit you?"
Li Qian glanced at the black sword and said, "I came here specifically today to see how Uncle Yang's sword was being refined. It seems to be very successful."
"You don't have to tell me. I said that if you don't have any other skills, you can only fight these things. Plus, with your tungsten ore, can you not succeed?" Blacksmith Yang said with a hint of pride.
"I wonder how long it would take Uncle Yang to make fifty such knives?" Li Qian asked.
"Fifty?" Blacksmith Yang was surprised.
