When Su Lun prepares the materials, Bruce starts to work. He needs to harden the materials first. Most of the extraordinary weapons are made with the skill of hundreds of stacks of forged steel. Some skilled blacksmiths can forge cloud patterns when forging weapons.
The steel forged by this technique is also called moire steel. The meteor iron, tungsten steel and Amethyst prepared by Su Lun are extraordinary materials. It is not easy to successfully integrate these materials perfectly.
Bruce called all his apprentices. There were few opportunities to watch forging high-level extraordinary weapons from a close distance. It was very helpful for them to master higher skills. The stove was burning. Driven by the hydraulic blower, the temperature in the stove became hotter and hotter. Standing in the blacksmith's shop, a heat wave hit their faces.
Put the materials into the furnace for calcination, and add various combustion supporting agents. Soon, the temperature of the furnace rises again, and the materials inside burn red and soften quickly. Then clip it out with a and start banging. Sparks splashed and a rhythmic percussion sounded.
Su Lun didn't wait for Bruce to forge weapons here and went to other parts of the territory for inspection. After more than a month, the first batch of bricks were finally fired in the brick kiln factory. The foundation of the outer city wall of Zhenbei fort has been laid. Now with bricks and stones, the progress can be accelerated.
In fact, in addition to bricks, some of the city walls outside Zhenbei Fort use slag. Every month, the ironmaking blast furnace at the blacksmith shop will produce a large amount of slag when it contains iron ore. these slag are hard and combined with some adhesives, which is very suitable for building the city wall.
Because the amount of work of the outer city wall is too large, if all the walls are built with rammed earth, and then he is using the magic of turning mud into stone, he can't change much with his current magic. Turning mud into stone can turn soil into rock. The more it is transformed, the more magic it consumes.
The wall of the outer city is at least four kilometers long. Each section of the wall is ten meters high and six meters wide. Su Lun doesn't change much at a time, but after using the brick and stone structure, he only needs to convert the bond between bricks and stones into rock with mud, and the magic consumption is reduced at once.
Of course, it will take longer to do so. The advantage is that Suellen doesn't have to stay on the construction site day by day. Orc coolies traded from Centaur tribe are also arranged here. With these powerful Orc coolies, the construction speed of the city wall has been accelerated again.
Because there was nothing urgent, Suellen had a very easy time these two days. Chris handled most of the things, and he only needed to confirm the rest.
"Master, this is the coin just produced by the coinage workshop." just as Su Lun was hiding in his study and watching the attendant official Qin, Chris came in with a delicate small box.
When she threw the book aside, Suellen stretched out, then put Chris in her arms, sat back in the chair, buried her head in her wide chest, took a deep breath, and then picked up the box to check.
Chris's preference for Suellen had long been clear, and she was not surprised by his sudden attack.
"These are the coins they struck?" said Suellen, playing with some coins.
There are six coins in the box, two gold, silver and copper. Su Lun picked up a copper NAR. This copper coin has the smallest face value. The copper coin is slightly green and feels very textured. Compared with the copper coin in circulation next to it, it is better in both appearance and quality.
Next, Su Lun checked other coins. The silver content of silver coins was the same as that of silver coins in circulation in the Kingdom, 80% of silver and 20% of other metals. The same was true of gold coins. Su Lun did not intend to forge a large number of inferior coins in his territory. As a result, the people did not trust coins and resisted the use of coins. It was still the way of barter, which was completely opposite to his original intention.
In the kingdom of Florence, many powerful nobles will privately forge coins. Although those who forge bad coins will get a lot of money at the beginning, before long, the trade in his territory will soon wither, and no businessmen will trade with him.
The gold content of a jinnar is 80%, but the face value is the face value of pure gold. Su Lun made 20% just for coinage. There are hot products such as sugar and drinks. He doesn't intend to kill the goose to lay the egg.
"Let's strike according to these." after checking it, Suellen determined the type.
"Well, I'll let them start casting a lot." Chris slipped out of Suellen's arms, then threw a wink at him and ran away with a smile.
Suellen tidied up some tight clothes and left the study.
The blacksmith's shop was in full swing. The jingling sound of percussion was very rhythmic. Bruce's eyes were full of blood, his naked chest was constantly dripping with sweat, and his skin was red by the fire. However, his expression was very excited, and many commanders and apprentices were constantly busy.
Beside him are all kinds of rare materials. Forging extraordinary weapons does not mean that all materials must be extraordinary materials. Many auxiliary materials are only some rare minerals.
Forging does not directly mix all materials together. If so, there is no possibility except to waste materials. The forging process in this world is still very magical. Various catalysts or some strange things are added during forging.
The purple dragon halberd used some ice pterosaur's blood for quenching in the forging process. The originally red weapon cooled rapidly after entering the ice pterosaur's blood, and an ice element energy burst instantly, even reducing the originally stuffy blacksmith shop by dozens of degrees.
After the second quenching, the iron was heated again, and Bruce knocked again with a hammer. The hammer is very rhythmic and seems to have an indescribable charm. After knocking for a period of time, it is heated again, and then some new materials are added.
In this repeated beating, the metals become closer, strange patterns are looming in the forging process, and various rare materials are added in turn. Meteor iron and tungsten steel have long been integrated, and now a new alloy has been formed.
Bruce has been completely immersed in forging weapons, which is a very rare opportunity for a highly skilled blacksmith. In this state, the blacksmith's skills will be greatly improved. If the forging is completed successfully, Bruce's skills will be greatly improved.
If you are lucky, it is not impossible to become a blacksmith master. Suellen did not disturb Bruce, who had fallen into a special state, and rushed the apprentices who were ready to wake him aside to watch, leaving only two people to help.
At this moment, the tinkling sound seemed to converge into a piece of music, and the purple dragon halberd also took shape in this state.
