The limited artifacts dropped by World Adventures, such as long-handled axes and heavy shields, are all things left over 800 years ago. Several of the main tribes of Emperor Yan originated from the western region during the Fuxi period. The ancestral land of the Xingtian family is nearby.
Ruan Zai lifted the weapon up, and it was stained with a lot of soil. It seemed that it had just broken out of the ground somewhere. This ancient smelting technology also surprised Ruan Zai.
This weapon is not an ordinary forging method. It contains two axes, one is short and the other is long. The short one is just a short ax passed down from generation to generation by the Akagata clan. It is made of American copper and ordinary The long golden (copper) ax was cast by many craftsmen gathered by the Diyou family, and the material used was also divine copper.
But even divine copper will rust. Apart from mud and dust, nothing in this world can withstand the power of time.
Weapons that last for eight hundred years are known to Juzai.
That is the Sword of King Goujian of Yue. When this sword was unearthed, it had been 2,500 years since it was cast.
"The main components of axes and shields are copper, followed by tin. To ensure that they will not rust for thousands of years, first of all, the proportion of copper is 80%, and the proportion of tin is 16 to 10%. seven."
"The next specific gravity is aluminum and nickel, and then very little iron and sulfur. These are insignificant impurities."
Ruanzai was talking to himself, but Guangchengzi pricked up his ears.
He looked at Yu Zai and gradually narrowed his eyes as he listened to Yu Zai's words, looking very serious.
"In the process of hammering out the lead elements, these black patterns and thick lines on the outside of the ax and heavy shield are made of sulfur or sulfide, which reacts chemically with the metal on the surface. Produced, these should be metallic 'chromium'."
"This is passivation."
On the side, Hongchao touched the shield, while Guangchengzi changed from "listening carefully" to "thinking deeply".
He looked at Yu Zai, then at the pair of weapons, and tugged on his beard.
Ancient bronzes were mainly a two-element alloy of copper and tin. According to "Zhou Li Kao Gong Ji", "four parts are gold (copper), and tin is one part, which is called the balance of the sword and the halberd; three parts are gold." And Xi Juyi is called the "Qi of the Great Blade".
"Different weapons have different requirements for binary alloys. Swords, axes and spears have different casting requirements for different parts of the weapons. The proportions of binary alloys are also different. Where bends are needed, the proportion of tin is reduced. If it is powerful and sharp, increase its ratio. Only the maker himself knows this ratio..."
"How could there be such superb smelting technology in Shennong's era!"
Metal discrimination is also a special skill for Yuan Zai. If he didn't have this ability, he would not be able to serve as the captain of the exploration team. The smelting technology of the pair of ax shields in front of him shocked Yuan Zai.
Although in terms of sharpness alone, this thing may not be as powerful as the iron tools that are increasingly mature in technology, but this thing is an axe, not a sword, and the requirements for sharpness are not high. On the contrary, the comparison of overall performance is this Victory with the Yue Shield.
Just like an iron sword has ten attack points and ten armor penetration points, this big ax only has eight attack points, but it has critical hit, armor penetration and percentage damage!
Moreover, the durability, solidity, resistance, heavy hit, stun, and other weapon attributes of the iron tools that can be forged now. Except for the swing speed, all current iron tools are far inferior to this in terms of other attributes. stuff.
This is an ancient miracle, the fruit of the efforts of ancient craftsmen.
Behind, Guang Chengzi looked at Yu Zai with a different look.
Those words of Yu Zai gave Guang Chengzi a lot of inspiration, and if Guang Chengzi's first impression of Yu Zai was that he was Chisongzi's melon-eating apprentice, and his second impression was that he was a genius descendant of Shennong, then My current impression....
This guy actually knows so much about gold and iron smelting?
I didn't even understand it that well...
Guangchengzi pulled his beard hard.
Is low-key pretense popular among today’s young people?
Although many of what Yu Zai said were to himself, with syllables and vocabulary that did not belong to this era, who is Teacher Guangchengzi? He has lived for fifteen hundred years and has no language. Heard it... He directly translated it in his head according to his own understanding.
Direct machine translation, two dragons playing with the pearl, Guangchengzi beat Chisongzi!
Yuzai pinched a little of the white clay on it with her fingers. There was very little clay, but it was real.
"It must have been preserved in a heavy wooden shell, buried several meters underground, and then covered with layers of stones. There may be a washed, fine-textured material between the gaps. It is filled with white clay, which is called white paste mud, and it is very dense."
"Under the deep mountain soil, among the stone mounds, there are so many sealing layers that basically isolate the air exchange with the outside world. Without the flow of air from heaven and earth, the corrosion process of copper and iron is greatly affected. It's as if the years are frozen..."
Who is the maker of this weapon?
While Yu Zai was thinking, Guang Chengzi, who had been listening for a long time, realized that there was finally no course left, so he stepped forward and felt the pair of weapons thoroughly from top to bottom.
"Boy, you know a lot about things like fine gold and divine copper. Your ancestor Shennong grew up eating hundreds of grasses. You grew up eating hundreds of stones, right?"
Guangchengzi asked Yuzai seriously.
Boy, do you cluck your teeth when you eat rocks?
Shen Nong ate hundreds of grasses and got heartbroken grass. Sooner or later, you have to eat a hundred rocks and get uranium ore, and then your body will directly mutate... Shennong has two surnames. His surname Jiang comes from the incident of "letting girls drink ginger water". He is also called Yiqi because he settled in Yi and Qi successively.
So, your ancestor's name is Yiqi, so you should be called Ivan.
As for the structure of this ax and even its caster, Guangchengzi also told Yuzai!
"If I'm not mistaken, this casting method should have been cast by a master craftsman from the Bu Sui clan."
The Bu Sui clan (Southwestern Shandong Province), also known as Ax Sui, the tribal alliance during the Shennong period was composed of the Bu Sui tribe and the Sui tribe, among which the Sui tribe was not the Sui Ren clan.
They were once enemies of the Shennong family. Before Shennong unified the world, Axisui refused to surrender, so Shennong attacked Axisui. Axisui was good at making ax weapons. However, Shennong adopted a strategy of dividing his troops and defeating them first. ) tribe, and marched along the ancient Ohno Ze, crossed the river and defeated the Sui tribe.
Guangchengzi quickly issued a solicitation to Yuzai:
"Boy, I think you are very talented as a craftsman! To be a qualified swordsman, you must first learn to identify fine gold and sacred copper. You have a richer knowledge reserve than me. It can be seen that you have the ability. Other Follow Chisongzi, follow me!"
Guangchengzi made a big promise, saying that when I restore your magic power, I will help you upgrade and strengthen your weapon!
Yuzai was overjoyed and immediately began to flatter him, but Guangchengzi looked serious and rejected Yuzai's flattery for the first time.
"Although you brat praises me so much, I won't appreciate it, because the things you praise are all noble qualities that I already have! You just said it truthfully. People must learn to praise others. You can’t always tell the truth, you know.”
Yuzai: "(silence——)(silence——)"
Guangchengzi said seriously: "I will help you re-smelt 'Qianqi', but you must also tell me everything you know about chemical reactions and alloy casting!"
"Don't think that I don't understand. I understand everything. In the past, I also made many tools for my tribe. I am a great craftsman in ancient times! Although the craftsman who repairs firewood has the skill of divine craftsmanship, But in my eyes, there are still shortcomings!”
"I'm just about to show you that if a person seizes the work of God, it doesn't count as his skill. I want to take it as the work of God!"
Yuzai suddenly became energetic!
