"Isn't it, it's so expensive? The roe deer meat at the stall next door only costs thirteen copper coins per catty, and your piece weighs at most three catties."
"This piece is the meat from the hind legs of a roe deer. Twenty copper coins a catty, all of which are at this price, and this is the only piece left. Do you want it or not?"
"It's too expensive, let me think about it first"
"Just made hoes and copper pickaxes! There are only six of them today, so hurry up if you want them! They're sold out!"
"Freshly caught fish! Come and see, come and see!"
"Clay pots and bowls that have just been fired, pass by, don't miss them"
It has only been half a month since the launch of the commercial system, and the entire Mingjing tribe has completely changed its appearance. The area where everyone gathered together to light a fire and cook is now transformed into a commercial area by Luo Ji, and the entire area sells goods. The noise continued, it was simply too lively.
Walking through the business district and on the way to the Ordnance Department, Luo Ji's face was full of pride. Of course, not everything went smoothly during this period, for example, there were many problems encountered in the forging side.
There is no problem with some daily necessities mass-produced by the method of inverting, but the forging of ordnance and weapons has always been difficult to pass in terms of quality.
By the way, the forging department is now divided into three parts, one part is the mint that is responsible for casting copper coins, the other is the forging shop that is responsible for making daily life equipment, and the last part is merged into the ordnance department, which is responsible for forging Ordnance Forge Department of Ordnance Equipment.
Although Luo Ji has handed over all the correct forging knowledge to the craftsmen in the Ordnance Forging Department, written knowledge is one thing, and practical operation is another. In this regard, the craftsmen in the tribe are still very lacking The experience and skills of forging weapons can only be slowly tried and explored by themselves.
In addition, in the past few months, with the research of forging technology, Luo Ji also discovered another thing, that is, the handsome bronze swords in those film and television works are all nonsense. The sword forged by the mine is short and wide, much shorter than the long sword that everyone imagines. To be honest, it is more appropriate to call it a short sword.
Because of this length problem, it is quite awkward to hold in the hand, and it cannot be connected with the word "handsome" at all. Maybe in the future with the improvement of forging technology, this length can be increased, but generally wait until there is that At the time of technology, the existence of the copper sword itself has little meaning
The main reason for this situation lies in the material. Copper is a metal that is not tough enough. If the blade is forcibly made too long, it will break if it cannot withstand several attacks. The illusion of weapons is completely shattered.
Fortunately, in the upcoming Bronze Age, the main weapon of the melee units is not the sword, and melee weapons such as halberds and battle axes are more suitable for the battlefield!
As the Ordnance Department is an important department, Luo Ji can be said to be a regular visitor here, and he would come over here every now and then to see how the production progress of the Ordnance and Weapons is going, so the members of the Ordnance Department are already familiar with it. Yes, when seeing Luo Ji come in, after a simple bow and salute, he continued to do what he was doing. This is also what Luo Ji himself asked for. It can't be that every time he comes, people from all departments line up to welcome him. ? How much does this affect work efficiency?
"Patriarch, you are here." Liu Shu, who has now been promoted to the head of the Ordnance Department, of course knew the purpose of Luo Ji's trip, and quickly brought a battle ax that had just been polished, and presented it to Luo Ji. "This one is a new product just completed by the forging department."
"En." Luo Ji responded casually, and then lifted the tomahawk. The handle is still made of wood. This was obtained after considering a lot of issues such as forging difficulty, cost, efficiency, and weight. of the final result.
He weighed the weight of the tomahawk. It was moderately heavy, and it would not be difficult for ordinary soldiers to swing it. Regarding this, Luo Ji nodded secretly, and then asked, "Is this tomahawk sharpened?"
"Just finished polishing." Instantly understanding Luo Ji's meaning, Liu Shu beckoned, and hurriedly asked someone to find a tree trunk for testing weapons.
Without staying strong, Luo Ji slashed down with a single axe. With a muffled 'bang', the tree trunk as thick as the mouth of a bowl in front of him was split in two.
"Not bad!" Looking at the fracture of the trunk, although it is not smooth, the forging and research of copper weapons have just begun, and we can't ask too much at once. For now, this power is enough, and then took a look. There was no obvious damage to the ax blade, and Luo Ji asked again, "How about the quality? ???How many cuts can the blade withstand? Have you done an experiment? "
"Yesterday, I asked the logging team to help and did a tree-cutting experiment. After a day, there was no obvious damage to the ax blade."
Hearing this, Luo Ji's eyes flashed with obvious satisfaction, "Well done, let's use this quality as the standard, and equip everyone in the Shield Axe Troop first. As for Luo Yong, I will draw a picture later. The design is given to you, and you can follow the design, other than that, how is the forging of the halberd going?"
"The long halberd is a little troublesome" At this point, Liu Shu showed a wry smile on his face.
Facing this situation, Luo Ji was not surprised at all, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"
"Patriarch, in the design drawing of the halberd you gave us earlier, the chiseled blade named 'Ge' has relatively high requirements for forging, and its shape is relatively small. So far, it often breaks halfway through forging. "
In this regard, Luo Ji just nodded, saying that he knew it, and he didn't mean to blame. After all, this is a matter of material in the final analysis. If it is replaced with bronze, the material will be stronger, but they don't have bronze now, only brass
Regarding the issue of bronze, Luo Ji had studied it carefully while studying bronze casting in the real world, and then he discovered that 'bronze' is not a single ore, but an alloy!
You have to first refine the copper ore into pure copper, and then mix tin or lead into it. The alloy that is born is called bronze!
This is very helpless, can he still transform tin or lead out of thin air? Does not! We can only rely on the mining team and the reconnaissance team to refuel, and before that
"Don't worry, study slowly. If the current forging technology can't reach that size, it's okay to take a step back and make it a little wider"
