    "Brother-in-law, second brother-in-law, brother-in-law, why are you all here? The weapons I supervised are good, right? They are even better than the weapons of your Han people!" Since Shamoko married Cao Hua, he has treated Lu Rui and others.  I started to change my names, calling them according to their elders and younger ones.  The spies of the old Man King have not returned yet, and Lu Rui cannot go to Jiaozhou, so he hangs out with Samoko every day.  Shamoke was also very enthusiastic and took Lu Rui and others to visit the scenic spots in Wumanxi. Today, Shamoke took Lu Rui and others to the weapons room of Wumanxi.  "What a sharp sword!" Cao Pi took Shamoko's sword and flicked it with his fingers, making a crisp buzzing sound.  "Show me!" Lu Rui heard the sound of the long sword, was stunned for a moment, and took the long sword from Cao Pi's hand.  The material this sword is made of is steel!  Lu Rui took the sword and was surprised. He did not expect to see weapons made of steel in Wuman River.  Steelmaking technology was not yet popular during the Eastern Han Dynasty, but that does not mean that there were no steel weapons. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, some people had already developed steel weapons.  "Brother Rui, this sword seems to be sharper than my father's Baipi sword!" Cao Chong touched the long sword with his little hand and immediately took it back. The long sword seemed to be able to eat people. Before he touched it, his hand felt  Stinging pain.  The Baipi Dao is a steel weapon refined by Cao Cao. Five of them were refined in total. Now except for Cao Ang who got one, the remaining four are in Cao Cao's hands.  As for how Cao Cao was able to refine steel weapons, everyone in the Cao family didn't know.  However, Lu Rui relied on his own guess that Cao Jin should have obtained some secret method of steelmaking from the ancient tomb when he was working for Cao Cao. After many experiments, he came up with the Baipi Sword.  After Qin Shihuang burned books, many skills of the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods were lost.  But there may not be any fragments left in the ancient tombs.  "Shamoko, where is the swordsmith? How was this sharp sword made?" Lu Rui handed the sword to Samoko and asked about the swordsmith.  If this person really mastered the method of making swords, Lu Rui would be very interested in bringing this person back to Xudu.  "Master Hou, the old grandpa was poisoned by Baishu Poison today. He is recuperating at home." A young man who was making swords heard that Lu Rui was looking for the sword-making master and quickly reported that the master was poisoned.  "What? Old grandpa was poisoned by Baishu Poison? How could he be so careless? Does it matter?" When Shamoko heard that the swordsmith was poisoned, he immediately grabbed the young man and asked.  "Prince, don't worry. Old grandpa just accidentally let the venom flow into his wound that was about to scar. After treatment, there is no serious problem. Prince, please rest assured." "That's okay. I thought old grandpa had an accident?  !" Shamoko let out a long breath, and felt relieved when he heard that the swordsmith was fine.  "Hey, it's a pity that I don't know how such a sharp sword is forged!" Cao Chong blinked and glanced at Shamoko.  From Shamoko's expression, Cao Chong could tell that Shamoko had a close relationship with the swordsmith, and he might know the secret of the sword.  "Brother-in-law, don't be discouraged. Grandpa is not here, but I know why this sword is so sharp!" Samoko smiled slightly and waved his left hand.  He indicated that he knew the secret of this sword.  "Brother-in-law, let me tell you, this sword was given to us by God in Wuman River. Do you know" Then Shamoke vividly told the origin of the sword, and everyone was excited.  Everyone listened with gusto, especially Cao Chong. When Samoko talked about "gao chao", he would cooperate a little. The two of them seemed like a living pair.  Shamoko was very excited about what he said, but Lu Rui didn't listen very carefully.  Because Lu Rui understood it after hearing a few key words.  The gift from God is actually the raw material for casting this sword.  It's a sacred stone flying from heaven.  According to Shamoko's description, Lu Rui understood what kind of sacred stone it was. It was obviously a meteorite that had fallen.  It formed a meteor and was discovered by the old grandfather of Wuman River, who thought it was a gift from heaven.  Later, Shamo Ke told the process of casting the sword of the old grandfather and the scene of his helper.  Shamoko explained the sword-making process and techniques very clearly.  Lu Rui listened and sighed secretly in his heart. It turned out that this old grandfather's sword-making method was nothing special. It was basically the same as the refining method of Cao Cao's Baipi Sword. However, the problem of improving steel-making efficiency was never solved.  .  ?According to Shamoko, this long sword took ten years to successfully refine, from when he was a child to when he grew into a young man!  This kind of refining technology is not what Lu Rui wants. You can at least practice more than a thousand long swords in a month to be useful. Otherwise, if you sharpen a sword for ten years, it will be impossible to equip the army in large quantities.  The reason why this long sword is so sharp should be mostly attributed to its material. Although he doesnĄŻt know what the material is, Lu Rui is sure that it can be an alien object.There will be some elements that are not found on the earth. These elements may be the fundamental reason why this sword is so sharp.  "Shamoko, what kind of poison did you say that the old grandfather, the swordsmith, was poisoned? You seemed very nervous just now?" Lu Rui really couldn't listen to Samoko's boastful talk and led the topic elsewhere.  "Hey, brother-in-law, you don't know this. We in Wumanxi and all ethnic groups in the south are good at making and using poisons. To be honest, most places in our south do not have the raw materials to make weapons and sharp blades. In order to deal with the armed forces of the Han people,  "We can only win with strange methods, and poison is our magic weapon." Shamoke proudly introduced Wumanxi's poison production process to Lu Rui and others.  The ethnic minorities in the south during the Han Dynasty were different from the ethnic minorities in the north. The weapon casting of the ethnic minorities in the south was far lower than that of the ethnic minorities in the north, and their technology was quite backward.  Take Wumanxi as an example. Most of the barbarian soldiers in Wumanxi use spear-type weapons, and their shields are basically bamboo shields.  The only reason for using spear weapons is that WumanxiĄŻs iron-making technology is not high and there is a lack of raw materials.  The soldiers were forced to use spears as their main weapons.  Since time traveling, Lu Rui has a deep understanding of the fighting techniques between the two armies.  If there are two soldiers of the same strength, the soldier using a short blade must be far more powerful than the soldier with a long blade, especially in infantry combat.  Therefore, although the southern ethnic minorities generally had more troops than Wu and Shu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, they were always suppressed by the armies of the two countries. A large part of the reason was the inferiority of weapons.  In order to make up for this disadvantage, the ethnic minorities in the south usually made poison as a weapon to resist the Han soldiers, and then took advantage of the terrain. The two sides were basically in a stalemate.  "Shamoke, what kind of poison are you talking about? How toxic is it? Is there an antidote? How long does it take to refine?" Lu Rui had an idea and suddenly thought of a good idea, using poison as a sniper to attack the enemy general.  weapons.  "Brother-in-law?" Shamoko was stunned for a moment. Lu Rui suddenly asked so many questions that he didn't know how to answer them.  "Ah? It seems that I am anxious. I ask questions one by one and you answer slowly." Lu Rui knew that he was too anxious when he saw Samoko's look, so he slowly organized his thoughts and began to carefully  Ask Samoko questions.  The poison in Wumanxi is mainly made from poisonous trees, poisonous weeds and poisonous animals.  Different poisons can be refined according to different formulas or combinations. The poisons are all kinds of weird, but the final result will be fatal, and poisons generally have no antidote. There are more than fifty kinds of poisons in Wumanxi now, but the preparation  There are only five antidotes that came out.  There are not many top-grade poisons in Wumanxi. The main reason is that the preparation is complicated and the refining process is life-threatening. Some pharmacists who refine the poison have not yet refined it into poison, and they made a small mistake in the process.  If you make a mistake, you will die in vain, leaving only a recipe for future generations to complete.  According to Samoko's estimate, the poison was only powerful enough to kill a few hundred people.  The rest of the poisons are ordinary poisons with simple formulas that Wumanxi can prepare, as well as the nearby Han people.  Wumanxi just occupies an advantage in raw material collection, and is generally used to snipe large-scale enemy operations on the battlefield, such as using poisonous arrows to match the terrain to snipe the enemy.  "Yes." Lu Rui nodded after listening to Shamoko's words. It seems that this poison can really be used on the battlefield.  PS: Transition chapter, thank you for your great support!  !  !  !
