The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 32 Plan ahead
"The right eye is a disaster? Is it a disaster?"

It doesn't seem good.

It's not that he is superstitious, but the current situation is not optimistic.

"Yes, Mr. Zili."

When Li Min came out of the palace, he was thinking about a question.

Now that he is out, the identity of the prince is gone.

His enemies were probably too happy to die.

For example, Xu Jingzong, Li Chengqian, etc., of course, there is also a pair of eldest grandson Wuji and his son who do not pose a threat, and now he has also brought them to Shandong and Henan.

These people clearly did not dare to harm him, but secretly, something might happen.

Especially the two mentioned above.

They are also members of the court.

He was still thinking about what to do before, but now he doesn't have to worry too much.

With Xue Rengui as his right-hand man, he is no longer afraid of anything.

He stared at Xue Rengui for a while.

Xue Rengui might be able to resolve the situation.

With him, what is he?
Xue Rengui was puzzled.

Why is he being looked at like that.

Did I say something wrong?
Or do you have something on your face?
In the end, Li Min still opened his mouth.

"Xue Rengui."

"exist!"

"I'll ask you a question, what weapon would you use?"

"Eighteen kinds of weapons are fine. It's just that I prefer heavier weapons. That's how I feel."

In history, Xue Rengui used the Fang Tianhua halberd, but this kind of weapon is not allowed in the folk.

The laws of the Tang Dynasty allowed civilians and civilians to hold short weapons such as bows, arrows, knives, trusses, and short spears. For example, some long soldiers were not allowed to hold them.

Now he is not in the imperial court, so Fang Tianhuaji is useless.But there should be better options.

"Mr. Zili asked what this is for?"

"You should wear a weapon to protect yourself."

He had a hunch that it might actually be useful someday.

Xue Rengui, who lacks weapons, must be much weaker in combat.

But what weapon is right for him?
Long soldiers can not choose.

For short soldiers, I am afraid that only the broadsword is the most suitable.

"Also, in this way, we can better protect Mr. Zili."

Xue Rengui also realized this.

How do you fight an enemy with a weapon with your bare hands?

"Zhushan."

"Yes!"

"A nearby place to sell weapons?"

"There are, but the texture is not very dripping. It's not as good as the material of our horseshoes. Why don't we go to the blacksmith shop I used to build it?"

Even Zhu Shan felt that it was not very good, and suggested it.

Because he knew that ordinary weapons would definitely not satisfy Xue Rengui's use.

An existence that can support a war horse with one hand is not an ordinary existence.

"Mr. Zili, I agree with Zhu Shan.

By the way, I used to be a blacksmith's apprentice for a year, and I fought many weapons for the Tang army. Why not build one myself?You just provide enough iron. "

When Li Min heard it, Xue Rengui actually knew how to strike iron. That's great. With his own formula, if the two of them are combined, they will definitely be able to create a more powerful weapon.

"Okay, Zhu Shan, go and prepare the special equipment for ironing, and collect the iron ingots together. This is [-] taels of silver, and it is up to you to buy it!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Shan took the money and went to take care of everything.

Ten taels of silver are enough, if there is any left, he will return, he naturally knows this.

In less than an hour, Zhu Shan came back.

Then, another set of blacksmithing equipment came out in the backyard.

That's all there is to it.

"Mr. Zili, I will start refining it now. As far as I know, there is a kind of steel that is used for refining steel in the world. The quality is very strong, and it is just used to refine a good knife!"

Xue Rengui said so, it seems that there is some material in it.

Li Min was against it.

Because he found something better.

That is bearing steel. The so-called bearing steel is the steel used to make balls, rollers and bearing rings.Bearing steel has high and uniform hardness and wear resistance, as well as a high elastic limit.

Using this kind of steel to make a knife is simply invincible.

And the weight is also guaranteed.

"No! Hundred Steelmaking is not the strongest existence. I have a steel that is more powerful."

Ok?
As soon as he said that, Xue Rengui was a little shocked.

Is there anything more powerful than he knows?
Does Li Min really understand?

Zhu Shan was fine. When he saw Xue Rengui like this, he explained:
"Mr. Zili used his method to make horseshoes a few days ago. The quality is so good that even a decades-old blacksmith said, does Mr. Zili use that kind of iron?"

Zhu Shan spoke for himself.

But not this.

He said, "No, that's still too bad! It doesn't work. I'll give this steel a new name, it's called Tang Gang!"

still bad?No, now, horseshoes can be more than 90% iron!

There are even stronger presences:
If it is said that it is bearing steel, they may still not understand it, but it is easier to understand it if it is said that it is Tangshan steel.

"Then how to refine it? Do you have a detailed method?"

Xue Rengui asked.

"Wait, I'll show you the look first!"

So he drew it according to the shape of the knife found on the Internet. This knife is very domineering and looks extremely sharp.

"How about this knife?"

He showed it to Xue Rengui.

Xue Rengui was overjoyed.

"Great, I like this knife! It suits me so well, I must make it!"

Since he is satisfied, that is the best.

Then, Li Min added:
"Tangsteel has a carbon content of 1% and a chromium content of about 1.5%. Improve the hardness, wear resistance and hardenability, and then appropriately add some silicon, manganese, molybdenum, etc. to make it more functional."

I said hi for a while, but when it comes to such professional knowledge, how can the two understand it?
"Mr. Zili, what are you talking about?"

Xue Rengui and Zhu Shan were very puzzled. What was Li Min talking about?
Only then did Li Min realize that he was in ancient times, and they didn't understand what he said just now.

So I searched again.

It was quickly found another way.

But the process is a bit cumbersome.

But the result is the same.

"Oh, nothing, I will write down the tempering method, Xue Rengui, you can temper it according to this method!"

"Yes! Then I'll go and heat the stove first!"

Xue Rengui said so.

In the next period of time, there was a clanging sound of iron in the backyard of this restaurant.

Xue Rengui is surprisingly attentive, and every step is very careful.

After many failures, come again.

Fail again, come again.

It continued until the second day.

When Li Min was still sleeping, Zhu Shan trotted outside his room and called:

"Sixth prince! Sixth prince! The knife made by Tang Steel has finally been made! It has been made!"

Hearing this, Li Min immediately got up.

so fast?

He put on his clothes and walked out the door.

"Come on, let's go and see!"

I thought to myself, what kind of surprise would Xue Rengui give him?
