Lu Zhenyuan cleared almost all obstacles for Lin Tuo.
Ji Hai left an extra team of people, all of whom were strong in combat and had some internal skills. They could meditate and adjust their breath instead of sleeping, and they served as a law enforcement team for him.
Lin Tuo was not polite at the moment, accepted all the orders, and started to assign tasks boldly...
Because at this time, the statistical results had come out, which made him feel even more stressed.
In the entire Qianshan Village, the total number of combatants was more than 600. The weapons in hand and in stock originally totaled more than 1,300, which was more than two per person on average, which was considered sufficient.
But after a night of fierce fighting, there were more than 300 broken or severely curled blades that could not be repaired. More than 300 more could be repaired, but it would take a long time, and more than 500 were slightly damaged, which would affect the battle. .
There are only two or three hundred of them in one piece, and the average number of people spread out is less than one.
There will definitely be fighting at night. Even if most of them are repaired, by tomorrow morning, there will probably be at most one weapon left per person.
Another night, the guards would have to use those uneasy mining shovels, mining picks and the like to participate in the battle, and they would definitely face serious attrition.
The damaged weapons must be repaired as quickly as possible, and at the same time, the smelting site's poor output of 10 weapons per day must be changed.
For all the masters with higher forging levels, Lin Tuo asked them to choose from the rough blanks that could be cut into pieces, curled blades, and half-cuts with just a few procedures, and adjusted them to a usable state as quickly as possible.
Letting the masters do these things is a bit of a sledgehammer, and precisely because a sledgehammer kills a chicken, it is efficient and fast!
Those low-level craftsman apprentices and the like, holding these things, must think about how to repair them? What works best? How to avoid damaging the fundamentals? When the masters take it into their hands, they don't have to think about it at all and just start working.
The efficiency of a dozen master craftsmen is equivalent to fifty or sixty low-level craftsmen repairing it at the same time.
Lin Tuo then summoned more than thirty middle-level craftsmen, who had only one task: to forge all the wrought iron ingots in stock into the shape and specifications required by Lin Tuo.
This is a job for craftsmen's apprentices. Mid-level craftsmen can do it with ease and with high efficiency.
In the end, more than a hundred craftsman apprentices and more than sixty temporarily transferred miners, according to Lin Tuo's instructions, were divided into two waves. They took turns making raw and wrought iron with the Su Steel method in front of all eighty smelting furnaces... …
As for the hundreds of other people assigned to the smelting site, they cut wood, burn charcoal, blow air, crush ore... and do all the preparation work within their capabilities.
Although sleepy and tired, everyone gritted their teeth and endured in order to survive and not to fall into the mouth of beasts.
Of course, there were also those who couldn't hold on, or didn't want to hold on, and were still unconvinced by Lin Tuo. They were dragged out by Ji Hai's bodyguards and whipped, and they suddenly became honest...
In this situation, it is difficult to even be lazy, because everyone is doing relatively low-difficulty tasks, and you can see it if you hesitate for a moment.
There is inventory in the smelting yard. Thirty-two pairs of raw and wrought iron ingots that meet the requirements have been collected. Together with those forged by middle-level craftsmen, by noon, eighty pairs of raw and wrought iron ingots have been collected and poured together according to the Su Steel method. , the scene was spectacular.
In order to save time, Lin Tuo also assigned manpower at the mine who were skilled in identification to specifically screen and refine the ninth-grade charcoal from the charcoal, strengthen the firepower of the iron smelting furnace, and increase the speed of softening of pig iron.
At this time, the repair work of the masters was basically completed. They distributed the urgently produced swords and ensured the supply of weapons for the first half of the night. Lin Tuo immediately assigned them new tasks, leading ordinary helpers to screen iron powder. Make iron and stir-fry steel to directly prepare the raw and cooked iron ingots required by the Suzhou Steel Method.
This is a relatively high-tech job. Lin Tuo asked them to explain it one by one. Technical terms such as carbon content and silicon manganese oxide were explained in a way they could understand, and he left the matter completely to them.
At the same time, he emphasized that if we only ask about the results and not the process, the requirements are not high anymore. Whether intentional or not, if the steel coming out of the furnace does not meet the requirements, everyone will be dead!
Standardize behavior, standardize work types, eliminate all possibilities of indolence, and use people like parts. After all the parts operate in an orderly manner, the entire smelting site will become a huge machine.
As a person who has traveled from modern times, I certainly have no favorable impressions of this production method that shackles the body, mind, and soul in the industrial era.
However, troubled times require the use of heavy instruments. In order for these people, especially himself, to have a greater chance of survival, Lin Tuo is not afraid of staining his hands with blood...
And until now, he hasn't even figured out whether the people in this world are real flesh and blood or NPCs!
When the huge machinery gradually started to operate and could operate in an orderly manner based on its own inertia, Lin Tuo finally found a chance to breathe and came to the secret room behind the old man's house - the location of Dianqing Hanquan.
The secret room was made of huge stones. The surface was smooth and natural. Lin Tuo touched it and found that the smoothness was more delicate than polished marble.
Insert the sword command into the gap in the middle of the stone door as the old man said, and with a gentle sound, the stone door slid open as if it was weightless, light and soundless, revealing the stone chamber at the back.
The cold air hit my face, and when it encountered the heat from the outside, it immediately condensed into mist, as if... the freezer compartment of the refrigerator was opened.
Lin Tuo couldn't complain anymore, so he walked into the house. Inside the house, there was just a pool, taking up most of the space.
In the center of the pool is a bronze vat, with the left and right ears shaped like two dragons playing with beads. The dragon body and tail are circling around the vat, which is vivid and lifelike. The cold water spits out from the mouths of the two dragons and into the vat, overflowing. It flows into the pool, and from a corner of the pool, there is a water diversion ditch to guide the excess water out of the pool, and then it becomes the water for quenching in the smelting fields of each layer.
There is an iron bridge over the pool that leads directly to the edge of the tank. There are brackets along the bridge, and several swords are hung in the air on the brackets.
As he walked by, he casually glanced at it and ordered some water from the green pond. The quenching effect was +1. As for the swords, they looked almost tempered. Lin Tuo picked them up without ceremony and gently rubbed them with the soft deerskin. 2-4, 3 -3... They are all similar to Xiao Yi Dao.
There is nothing worth paying attention to, and even the experience value is mediocre, only about ten points per game.
Grasshopper legs are also meat, so it counts. After cutting the blade, he inserted it into his waist. Lin Tuo walked past the leg without stopping until he reached the edge of the tank and stopped.
If you touch the green cold spring, the quenching effect will be +2; there is also a quenching sword in the cold spring, which should be... the work of Old Man Lu.
Lin Tuo picked up the sword without any regrets and rubbed it directly with the soft deerskin. It was a hundred-forged steel sword with attack 4-5, hardness 29, durability 24, and strength +1.
Lin Tuo's eyes froze, Old Man Lu, can you already use equipment with attributes?
If you have the opportunity, you should ask for advice. Of course, if you don’t have the opportunity to create opportunities, you should ask for advice...
