Chapter 141 Anything with Tungsten is Cheap

On a superficial glance, everything is good, but what Xia Bing is a little puzzled about is... how old are you in your twenties and still not married?Soon he will be an old leftover man.

He asked suspiciously, "Then why haven't you been married so far?"

"Because his mother died of illness not long ago, and he was still in the filial age. And he was a little..." Xia Xiaoshi was worried that her statement would leave a bad impression on her parents, so she was very careful with her words.

Hearing about "Zhou Changfeng"'s affair, Gao Linglu snorted disdainfully, "Just like your father when he was young."

After a pause, she said with some regret: "You are doing well in the Imperial Army, why did you go to the Marine Corps?"

After making meritorious service, he will be appreciated by the superiors, and it will be a matter of time before he stays in this comfortable place of the imperial army and rises to the top.

So why inexplicably went to the Marine Corps where he was unfamiliar?Isn't this asking for trouble?And if there is a real war in the future, this is the first vanguard to go into battle, how dangerous it is.

"He said that it's no fun to stay in the imperial army and do nothing. It happened that someone called his name, so he went."

"It's like this, but I have great ambitions, and my heart is for the community." Xia Bing stretched out his hand to pick up vegetables, and said leisurely.

"It's not bad, but the battle on the battlefield is too dangerous. I'm afraid there will be an emergency." Gao Linglu is also very entangled. When she thinks of the worst possibility, she can't bear it. After all, if her daughter loses her husband at a young age , that is too miserable.

She murmured, "In ancient times, it was okay. The heavy armor was like an iron can, and it was invulnerable to swords and arrows; now it is not what it used to be, guns have no eyes, and all living beings are flesh and blood in front of the bombs." body, whoever suffers will die."

In this regard, Gao Linglu thinks that she still has some knowledge. She works for Yunsheng Film Company. Over the years, she sometimes receives orders from the Ministry of War to organize a photography team to shoot military education films.

Such a strong bunker was blown to pieces by several heavy artillery shells; the complex and difficult houses and streets were all poured into a sea of ​​​​flames by flamethrowers; The aerial bombs turned into powder...

What she saw and heard at that time made her understand the horror and cruelty of war, and this is a shock that ordinary people can hardly understand.

"Don't worry about it. That kid is now a lieutenant colonel. He's in charge of a regiment. Why is this?" Xia Bing didn't care about his wife's worries at all. .”

The two disagreed, so they argued endlessly at the dinner table.

The most embarrassing thing in this situation was Xia Xiaoshi, who was the client. She could only lower her head and pick up food in a muffled voice, and then she hurried away after she was done.

She naturally hopes that both parents will accept it readily, but it seems to be a luxury at present.

Fortunately, my father's attitude was clear, and my mother was only worried about safety. From a comprehensive point of view, there should be no problem.

The next day.

Because the communication telephone line laid on the bottom of the river failed, it seemed to be broken somewhere, so the Jiangxinzhou military camp lost contact with both sides of the Yangtze River.

"Regimental Commander, the chariot allocated to us is estimated to be here today."

"I remember, I'll be back in the afternoon."

After ordering the communication platoon and engineering team to organize personnel to overhaul the telephone line, Zhou Changfeng changed into his normal clothes, crossed the river by boat, and then drove straight to Nancheng District.

Xia Xiaoshi's almost blunt hint yesterday was easy to understand, why not send a hairpin, and then prepare the marriage proposal and letter of appointment, after that things will come naturally.

Thinking back to myself before time travel, when I first entered university, I had a playful relationship with a girlfriend, but we broke up after half a month, and now I think it's too funny.

When there were two blocks away from Jubao Gate, Zhou Changfeng stopped the car. This is Xiaoxi Street. It is said that there are several famous jewelry stores nearby?
On the five-storey building downstairs, he took a look at the plaque with the words "Jin Sui Pavilion" written on it, and then he saw several smiling shop assistants coming up to him.

It's over, it's over, the wallet is going to be empty!
The helpless Zhou Changfeng was ushered into the shop like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

The sharp-eyed shop assistants have rich experience, and they are sure that he is consuming with purpose this time rather than just strolling around.

Men, who would hang out in a jewelry store alone if they have nothing to do?It's usually women who only look but don't buy, and men generally go straight to what they want.

"... Small-leaf red sandalwood is the best quality among woods. It is hard in texture, red and black in color, calm and generous. This hairpin is hand-crafted by skilled craftsmen at one time."

"...Look, this is made of high-purity silver. The flower at the end is electroplated pure gold, which will not fade or fade. The pearls of the pendant are produced in Hepu, Guangxi, and are absolutely flawless."

In this way, two hairpins, one wood and one silver, cost a full 38 yuan, which made Zhou Changfeng sigh that the money for accessories is really easy to earn.

Just as he was about to drive away, a strange thought came to him, and he raised his hand to look at his watch. It was still early, why not...

On a whim, Zhou Changfeng didn't return to the pier, but went straight to Yingtian Arsenal.

Because it is the day of the New Year's Day rest, the arsenal, as a government-run organization, naturally has to respond to the country... ahem, follow the rules of the court, and have a three-day holiday.

Therefore, the production line did not start today, and only some on-duty personnel stayed behind; in addition, the cupola and the electric furnace and open hearth furnace for special steel smelting should not be terminated at will, so even if it is a holiday, the work is still open.

Naturally Wang Huan'an was not there, so Zhou Changfeng randomly found an employee he knew and expressed his intention to come. The latter took him to find a few middle-aged "craftsmen" who were chatting and playing cards with nothing to do.

"Hairpin?" After hearing the reason for their visit, none of them knew why.

Hey, what we created here is to kill people and make women, isn't it a bit...

Alloy hairpin?Are you going to use it as a dagger?

Zhou Changfeng was also unambiguous, and directly took out two bottles of high-quality Mianzhu Daqu.

Several people had no intention of refusing, but now that there was another fine wine, they shirked it a few times, and finally accepted it, and then asked for details.

"Based on this, right? Okay, then... what material should I use?"

"Master, is there any special alloy that is powerful, hard, and will not rust?"

"Hard? No rust? Why don't you try tungsten steel?"

"Okay, tungsten steel, it's up to the master craftsmen."

Zhou Changfeng sipped a "teacher" so that several young craftsmen felt like a spring breeze, patted their chests and promised to make an exquisite hairpin.

Tungsten steel has high hardness and strength, wear resistance and heat resistance, and good toughness. It is a widely used industrial cemented carbide. For example, tungsten steel is used in the cutter heads of many machine tools; at the same time, some rings, necklaces and earrings will I chose it as the material, because the black-gray metallic luster is still very beautiful.

Seeing someone take out a rod-shaped tungsten steel from a wooden box not far away, Zhou Changfeng asked, "Is this thing expensive?"

The mechanic replied nonchalantly: "That's all, it's worthless, at least not in our Daming."

Alloys that are related to tungsten are all bad, right?
