Volume 3: Prepare your troops and wait for the right moment Chapter 70: Fine steel and cold iron

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Generals Dian Wei and Zhang Liao and I led hundreds of soldiers out of the city and searched for the place where the meteorite fell in the west. Twenty miles out of the city, we finally found the ten-meter-diameter meteorite in a dilapidated pit.  Due to the friction caused by the atmosphere, the huge meteorite was emitting blue smoke all over its body.

    After I saw it, I was pleasantly surprised. You must know that ordinary meteors are basically rubbed clean when they pass through the atmosphere. Those that can fall to the ground through the atmosphere are definitely extremely hard metal materials, which is what they were in ancient times.  Commonly known as cold iron, the average cold iron weighs dozens of kilograms, which is enough to break the heads of countless blacksmiths. Now this huge meteorite, if a small amount of stone skin is removed, must weigh at least hundreds of thousands of kilograms.  , enough to create thousands of fine weapons.

    I was overjoyed and quickly ordered the soldiers: "Soldiers, please protect this place. No one else is allowed to come or go within a radius of 5 miles." Hundreds of soldiers received their names and immediately dispersed to clean up the scene within a radius of 5 miles.  , no bird or beast can enter.

    I said to Hu Che'er again: "Gu Yue, go and ask the blacksmith Pu Yuan immediately and ask him to come here as soon as possible." After Hu Che'er accepted the order, he immediately patted his horse and galloped towards the city.  And I stepped towards the meteorite. When I reached one meter from the surface of the meteorite, a wave of heat hit my face. Oh my god, it was more enjoyable than taking a sauna.

    I stood there, pulled out the seven-star sword from my waist, and slashed at the surface of the meteorite. I saw that the stone layer on the surface of the meteorite fell off, revealing the silver-bright iron that shone coldly inside.

    I took a look at the seven-star sword in my hand and saw that it was not damaged at all. I couldn't help but nod. This seven-star sword was actually given to me by Wang Yun. When I was in Luoyang, I often visited Wang Yun's house as a guest and gave it as a gift.  I received a lot of calligraphy from him. Wang Yun was so grateful that he didn't know what to give me back. Gold and silver treasures are simply dispensable things to me, and there are not many calligraphy and paintings that can impress me.  Wang Yun would not be willing to give it away to me even if he got it!  After weighing it over and over again, I finally gritted my teeth and gave it to me as a gift to a hero. Wang Yun and his family are all literati who have no power to restrain themselves. Keeping the sword will only make it fall into dust, so it is better to just give it away.  It was given to me so that the Seven-Star Sword could be famous throughout the ages. Of course, I accepted it unceremoniously after some hesitation.

    I know the origin of the Seven-Star Sword. When Cao Cao wanted to assassinate Dong Zhuo, he received the Seven-Star Sword as a gift from Wang Yun. However, Cao Cao failed to assassinate him, so he used this sword to save his own life. At that time, Dong Zhuo was also struck by the sharpness of this Seven-Star Sword.  I was full of praise, and Cao Cao also took advantage of this opportunity to escape. The sword that was supposed to be lent to Cao Cao is now in my hands. It seems that history has begun to change!

    "Lord, why is the fine iron wrapped in this stone?" Dian Wei and others came behind me. Seeing me slashing with my sword, revealing the cold fine iron, they were puzzled, so Zhang Liao immediately asked  stand up.

    I sheathed the sword and said with a smile: "Wen Yuan doesn't know something. When I traveled around the world in my early years, I once saw a meteorite falling from the sky, and under the guidance of a strange man named Xingmeng, I learned that there are roughly three types of meteorites.  .¡±

    "Please tell me, my lord, what three kinds are they?" Zhang Liao and others were intrigued by me and asked quickly. I couldn't help Qiao, so I smiled and said, "You don't have to be like this, I will tell you myself."  ." After finishing my whole train of thought, I said: "Back then, that stranger had done a lot of research on material components, and he had developed a unique way of naming material components, such as: calcium, iron, zinc, tin, etc., and meteorites from outer space.  It contains several materials and is roughly divided into three categories. The first type, stony iron meteorites, also called tektite, is a relatively small type of meteorite, in which iron, nickel and silicate account for roughly half each; the second type, stony meteorites,  Also called meteorites, the main component is silicate, and this type of meteorite has the largest number. The third type, which is the one in front of us, is called iron meteorite, also called meteorite, and its main components are iron and nickel.  , and the texture of meteorite is more than 5 times harder than ordinary iron ore. If you use it to make weapons, what will appear will definitely be a magical weapon!"

    After saying that, I smiled, glanced at the confused generals, and thought to myself, I am telling you the truth. It seems that I will consider building a school in the future to let them learn chemistry knowledge?

    "My lord, why can't I, Old Zhang, understand what my lord said?" Zhang Fei's habit of being outspoken happened again. When he encountered a question he didn't know, he immediately asked it.  This time, since all the generals didn't know what was going on and wanted to know what I was talking about, no one blamed Zhang Fei for being reckless this time. Instead, they stared at me, waiting for my answer.

    I smiled and said: "It's normal for Yide not to understand. The knowledge here is too mysterious, and even I can't know it all. But there is one thing that Yide can remember, that is, with this extremely huge piece of  Meteor iron, your sophisticated weapons are here."

    "Really? That's great. I, Lao Zhang, have nothing to worry about."A handy weapon, since the Lord said so, it seems that I, Lao Zhang, don¡¯t have to worry about it now.  "When Zhang Fei heard that he had the weapon, he couldn't stop laughing. The laughter came out in his loud voice, which was louder than the voice of someone singing with a microphone in karaoke. It seemed that  If Zhang Fei continues to practice, it is really possible that he will drink seven or eight generals to death in the battle. If that is the case, it will be much easier to fight in the future. Zhang Fei can drink directly in front of the battle and kill the enemy general.  Drink a few to death, and then use your troops to cover them up for a while. The victory will not be easy

    I was confused in my heart, but on the surface I smiled and said: "Don't worry, this meteorite iron is so huge, I'm afraid it will weigh more than 100,000 kilograms if refined, which is enough to make suitable weapons for all the soldiers." Everyone listened to my words, and it was true.  I was pleasantly surprised, dear, hundreds of thousands of pounds?  What is this concept? In this era, ordinary iron ore is rare, and the price of iron is relatively expensive. To make an ordinary weapon, it costs more than ten thousand dollars, including the cost and profit. It is absolutely precious.  It's incomparable, but this piece of meteorite is five times harder than ordinary iron stones. Isn't that even more precious?  Thinking of the magic weapon that you will use when you go into battle to kill the enemy in the future, you will cut off the enemy general's weapon with a magic weapon that is as sharp as clay, and then slash it straight down, cutting the enemy general in two. How majestic that will be?  Thinking of this, all the officers and soldiers looked yearning and intoxicated.

    I looked at them in a daze and felt funny in my heart, but it was not good for them to be in such a daze. If they were like this on the battlefield, they would lose their lives. Thinking of this, I immediately coughed twice.

    After the generals heard this, they immediately came back to their senses and thanked me repeatedly. I waved my hands and said: "My lords, as generals, you should always be vigilant to prepare for unexpected events. If you are in a daze like I did just now, if you are attacked by an assassin,  , wouldn¡¯t it be a mistake? Therefore, I hope you all will be vigilant and not be tempted by benefits and put your life in danger.¡±

    My words were serious and serious, and when they heard them, they felt ashamed and helpless. Each of them blushed like Guan Gong, bowing his head to be taught.

    Just when I was calming down the generals, I heard a voice coming from afar: "Lord, Blacksmith Pu Yuan has arrived."
