In Ye Qiong's memory, there is an idiom, which is called cutting iron like clay. Ye Qiong didn't believe it at first, but he had to believe it today.
Because this matter happened right in front of Ye Qiong's eyes and in Ye Qiong's hands.
Therefore, it saved Ye Qiong the time to think and doubt, and directly gave Ye Qiong an answer.
It is a real thing to sharpen iron like clay.
"Aba...Aba..."
After Kuang Baichi saw this scene, he didn't show any surprise at all, and continued to shout at Ye Qiong with some pride.
"sharp!"
Ye Qiong put the long sword in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, then picked up the broken sword head from the ground.
After comparing the two swords, Ye Qiong discovered the difference.
The intact sword in the hand is darker in color than the broken sword in the other hand, despite being hit a few times.
It seems that some special ingredients have been added.
Ye Qiong placed the broken sword on the stone table, turned around excitedly and walked to Kuang Baichi with the long sword.
Although Kuang Baichi was mute, he was not deaf, so Ye Qiong started asking directly.
"How did you get it?"
"Aba, Aba..." Seeing Ye Qiong continue to frown, Kuang Baizhi shouted "Aba" to the outside.
An apprentice who was swinging a hammer outside put down his work and walked over directly.
"Young Patriarch..." Menghulu finally remembered to say hello.
Kuang Baichi's apprentice is called Luo Niu. Ye Qiong must know everyone in the old tribe. After all, there are not many people. After getting along with him for more than ten years, even if he can't remember his name for a while, he can still be recognized.
After all, a name is just a code name.
After Luo Niu looked at Ye Qiong and said hello, Ye Qiong nodded, waiting for him to take the initiative to introduce himself.
But the boring gourd in front of me seemed to be waiting for him to ask...
He didn't mean to take the initiative to speak.
"Tell me, why is this sword so sharp..." It seemed that Ye Qiong had to take the initiative to ask.
"Charcoal fire...and this." Luo Niu pointed to the fire in the room, and then pointed to a row of black jars on the shelf.
Ye Qiong looked in the direction of Luo Niu's finger, saw the coal in the stove, and understood immediately.
It turns out to be coal, which means that the temperature has increased, and the purity of the extracted iron has increased a lot.
This is easy to understand. Ye Qiong knows the melting point very well.
Walking to those black jars, Ye Qiong opened one and took a look. He saw that it contained some white powder. He put his nose up and smelled it. It was a bit fishy.
"Bone crystal... It seems so. It can actually increase the density so much..." Ye Qiong muttered to himself.
In the eyes of Kuang Baichi and Luo Niu, it is the result of forging, but what Ye Qiong wants to analyze more is the composition and elements of this bone crystal.
"Is it the bone crystal of the king's velvet beast?" Ye Qiong put his finger into the black jar and dipped it into the white powder and asked.
Luo Niu nodded and had no intention of speaking.
Ye Qiong stopped asking, took a small bottle from the shelf below, put some bone crystals in it, covered it and put it in his pocket.
After going back to study carefully, there is definitely no way to detect the elements now. Ye Qiong wants to take these bone crystals back to study their composition on the one hand, and on the other hand, to do a few experiments that he has always wanted to do.
These bone crystals can increase the density of iron so much, so if the iron made from these bone crystals is used as the bow body of a longbow...
Ye Qiong was already a little excited. The long bow on his back was made of four denier. If he used this bone crystal to refine a bow body, he could roast it on the charcoal fire.
It is possible to make a longbow with a strength of five denier or even more than six denier.
Ye Qiong didn't consider whether he could draw a long bow with a strength of more than five denier for the moment, so he just wanted to make it first.
The comprehensive lethality caused by a giant crossbow is almost equivalent to that of a ten-denier longbow, and it can easily break through the defense of the king beast.
If Ye Qiong can one day make a long bow with ten denier power and have the strength to draw it, then it will be equivalent to...
Ye Qiong can carry a giant crossbow with him. Even if he meets a high-level king beast, there is no need to be intimidated. With a ten-denier long bow on his back, it is simply a weapon that is no less powerful than a heavy sniper. Killer weapon.
One arrow seduces the soul!
Although Ye Qiong really wants to have such a long bow, based on his current strength, the four-dan long bow is just right to use, so there is no need to worry about this matter for the time being. After all, he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he can force it. Replacing a four-denier longbow with a five-denier one is likely to backfire.
At that point, it will be counterproductive and it will no longer be worthwhile.
Looking at Luo Niu, the young patriarch, he naturally couldn't guess what Ye Qiong was thinking, but it had nothing to do with him. Seeing that he had nothing to do here, he was ready to go back to work. He still had a few irons. The sword was not finished, Qiongqi's warriors sent it over for repair.
Very dedicated. In Ye Qiong's previous life, there were really too few young people like this who were hardworking and willing to be lonely and dedicated.
"Young Patriarch, if nothing happens, then I..." Luo Niu continued.
"Wait a minute, how are your studies on the repeating crossbow I sent over last time?" Ye Qiong said the purpose of coming here this time.
That long sword was an unexpected surprise. Let’s not talk about whether Ye Qiong can make a long bow with a power of five times or above. The long sword itself can directly increase the strength of the melee warriors in the tribe by one level. .
It turns out that the long swords that can't break high-level monsters can be thrown away directly and given to Qiongqi's warriors. Then use the iron made of this kind of bone crystal to make a few Qinglong Yanyue knives for Ronling and others. Ye Tianling and the others, a dozen or so people who are at the top of the tribe in terms of strength, if each of them had one of these weapons in their hands.
Whether they go out to fight or are attacked by beasts or madmen, they have the ability to fight in close combat.
It would be very comfortable to have archers and giant crossbows in the long range, and a small army of Qinglong Yanyue Sword in the melee.
When the time came, Ron Ling and Ye Tianling were asked to grow a mustache. Ye Qiong had already started to fantasize about it, and couldn't help but smile. Not to mention, the height and body shape of Ron Ling and Ye Tianling really looked a bit like Guan Guan. The image of the second master.
After Luo Niu heard this, he shook his head and said, "Master, he has been asking us to study this for the past two months, and we haven't had time to make a crossbow yet..."
"Two months? So long? Well... But it's okay. Research always takes some time. How many bone crystals will be consumed to make this thing?" Ye Qiong said as he spoke. Swinging the long sword in his hand casually, he suddenly thought of a very crucial question, so he asked it.
"Three cans." Luo Niu said calmly.
After hearing this, Ye Qiong froze his right hand playing with the long sword, and then...
He looked at the five black jars left on the shelf.
For such a big king antler and king lion elk, about seven or eight jars of bone crystals were made.
It seems like a lot, but...
This long sword actually consumed three cans directly?
Isn’t it possible to just grab a handful and sprinkle it in and that’s it?
Ye Qiong's wish to build an army of Qinglong Yanyue Swords was shattered instantly after Luo Niu said the words "three cans".
