    Zhang Deming knew very well that Chen Zairong loved swords, so he pointed at him and joked: "You kid, when I talk about swords, I can't even sleep. Wait, I'll get the steel." He turned around and went into the back room.

    There is a stove, an anvil, and some messy things in the house.  The most conspicuous thing is a weapons rack, which is full of weapons, including swords, guns, swords and halberds. The most eye-catching are two kinds of knives, one is a straight-edged two-handed knife, and the other is a long-handled double-edged knife.  Guan Gong's Qinglong Yanyue Sword is as heavy as it is, weighing no less than dozens of kilograms.

    If this straight-edged sword becomes a straight-line blade with a curved body, it will be no different from the Japanese Japanese sword of the Japanese. This is the "Tang Dynasty horizontal sword", the originator of the Japanese Japanese sword of the Japanese.  That kind of long-handled broadsword is the famous Mo Dao.

    Although Chen Wanrong studied chemical engineering, he had heard about the name of Tang Dao for a long time. He knew that Tang Dao had a huge role in connecting the past and the future in the cold weapon era. There were four types in total: Yi Dao, Zhan Dao, Heng Dao and Mo Dao.  .  The most famous of these four types are the Heng Dao and Mo Dao, which are the standard equipment of the Tang Army and are widely equipped in the army.

    The technique of the horizontal sword was later learned by Xiaojiizi, and the straight blade body was changed into a curve. This is the origin of Xiaojiizi¡¯s "Japanese sword". Although Xiaojiizi repeatedly boasted that the Japanese sword was invented by Xiaojiizi, in fact it was derived from the horizontal sword of the Tang Dynasty.  Improvements can be made, as anyone with a knowledge of history knows.

    The Mo Dao weighs about fifty kilograms, has a handle four feet long, and has a double blade. It is the standard equipment of the heavy infantry of the Tang Dynasty and was widely used by the Tang army.  A Mo Dao requires fifty kilograms of high-quality steel. Many of the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty were equipped with this weapon, which consumed a lot of steel. Therefore, some people call the Mo Dao "luxury equipment in the cold weapon age."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    The martial arts style was very strong in the Tang Dynasty, martial arts practice became popular among the people, and weapons were very popular among the people.  In the mid-Tang Dynasty, the imperial court issued an order prohibiting private casting and possession of weapons among the people, and weapons gradually withdrew from the private sector.  It is now the second year of Jingyun, not yet the middle Tang Dynasty, so weapons can be seen everywhere.

    Although Chen Wanrong did not practice martial arts, he couldn't help but feel happy when he saw these two famous Tang knives. He strode up and picked up a horizontal knife. It was quite heavy in hand, weighing almost ten kilograms. He looked at it carefully.  The blade is shining, the blade is sharp, and the shape is smooth. It is top-notch. I can't help but praise it.

    Private private forging has such a level of forging, so what kind of level will the weapons workshop of the imperial court produce?  It has to be better than this!  Chen Wanrong suddenly had an idea in his mind: I have seen a lot of the wisdom of the Tang people. Can I build the chemical equipment I need?

    Thinking of this, Chen Wanrong was very excited.

    Friends who are familiar with the history of science and technology all know that the alchemy of ancient China is much more advanced than that of the West, and it is very likely to develop into chemistry.  When our ancestors produced the first sulfuric acid in human history in the seventh century, Western alchemists did not know where sulfuric acid existed.

    The reason why alchemy has not developed into chemistry is that ancient Chinese alchemists did not create suitable equipment. The equipment they used most was wooden cauldrons.  The famous alchemist Ge Hong is not exempt from this. He discovered some valuable chemical reactions with the help of simple wooden cauldrons.

    A more important reason is that our ancestors did not create glass, and alchemists did not use glassware. Many precious chemical phenomena slipped away under their noses. They missed one good opportunity after another to develop alchemy into chemistry.  Sincerity makes future generations sigh.

    In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong hid in the Bagua furnace. Taishang Laojun did not notice that he was causing trouble inside, but instead trained him to have piercing eyes.  We can assume that if Taishang Laojun uses a furnace that can observe the furnace inside well, can Sun Wukong still cause trouble?  Can he still develop piercing eyes?

    This is a good reflection of how limited the ancient Chinese alchemists were by equipment!

    There is no glass, wooden cauldrons have been used, and good chemical equipment has not been developed. This is an extremely important reason why our ancestors gave up the honor of developing alchemy into chemistry to the West.

    Chen Wanrong knows better than anyone how important chemical equipment is to the chemical industry.  It can be said that without suitable equipment, even though Chen Wanrong has a lot of chemical knowledge, it is difficult to change the results. He will follow in the footsteps of our ancestors. Chemical industry will not be able to take root in the Tang Dynasty and develop into an independent industry.  industry.

    If this is the case, Chen Wanrong would have been nothing more than a minor troublemaker throughout his life. At most, he would be respected by the people of the Tang Dynasty as "an alchemist with great achievements in alchemy".

    Therefore, Chen Wanrong was thinking about equipment all the time. Seeing such a well-made horizontal knife shows that the Tang Dynasty had high-quality steel and had a strong desire to build chemical equipment.

    &Zhang Deming greatly agreed. He patted Chen Zairong on the shoulder and comforted him: "Zairong, your parents can see far. You are smart, perceptive and skilled in martial arts, but you are a bit young, only sixteen years old.  It¡¯s time to take advantage of this season to read more and learn more about the art of war. Think about it, through the ages, none of those famous generals have read a lot. Our young Duke of Wei studied and practiced martial arts. He discussed the art of war with his uncle Han Qinhu, and Han Qinhu praised him.  If he could discuss war with Sun Wu, who else could compete with him? Later, Emperor Zuo Taizong of Duke Wei decided to rule the world. The Turks were so tyrannical, why shouldn't they be destroyed by him? Listen to your parents, that's right."

    The Duke of Wei was Li Jing, a famous and talented general. He had outstanding military exploits throughout his life. He fought in the south of the Yangtze River, conquered the South of Lingnan, defeated the Turks in the north, and defeated Tuguhun in the west. He was granted the title of Duke of Wei. He was a great hero in the eyes of the Tang Dynasty. His story is widely circulated.  , ordinary people can talk about it for a while.  If there had been storytelling in the Tang Dynasty, his stories would have been very popular in teahouses and wine shops.

    Chen Wanrong knows a lot about Li Jing's story, especially his night attack on Yinshan Mountain to destroy the Turks, which is even more talked about.  If Li Jing was mentioned at any other time, Chen Wanrong would definitely be full of praise. Now his attention is on the unique piece of iron in Zhang Deming's hand, because this iron piece is the place of hope for him.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
