Chapter 390 Wan Forged Steel

After resting for a day, Zhang Chen hurried out.

After searching for a long time in Xudu, Zhang Chen found a blacksmith's shop. After explaining the requirements to the blacksmith inside, the blacksmith showed a embarrassed look on his face.

"The difficulty of your stuff is actually not high, but this material takes too long to consume, and I don't have the skills. I suggest you go to a village in the south of the city to find an old master named Zhu. He may have Way." The blacksmith shook his head after listening to Zhang Chen's words, and said regretfully.

Zhang Chen was not disappointed, this situation was expected by Zhang Chen.

After all, it is the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the current smelting technology is not yet mature, at most it is the level of [-] steelmaking.

However, the strength of the material Zhang Chen needs must be at least tens of thousands of steels to withstand it. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Chen has long been prepared for this situation.

But what surprised Zhang Chen was that he was able to find a blacksmith who could refine according to Zhang Chen's requirements. Even if it was only Zhang Chen's minimum requirements, it is very rare in this world. Reasonable.

After thanking the blacksmith, Zhang Chen walked to the south of the city.

The south of Xudu is a wilderness. Zhang Chen had entered Xudu from the southern official road before, so Zhang Chen still had an impression of the small village that the blacksmith mentioned.

Although Zhang Chen did not enter at that time, the village had already aroused Zhang Chen's curiosity. At that time, Zhao Xinghuo and Zhang Chen had been practicing in the field, and Zhang Chen noticed that there was a smoke in the village that had never been extinguished. At night, the concentration of cooking smoke increased greatly. At that time, Zhang Chen was a little curious, but because he was going to enter Xudu later, Zhang Chen didn't study too much about this place.

"From now on, that village should be the village where the old blacksmith lived." Thinking this way, Zhang Chen walked to the place he remembered.

Because there was no Zhao Xinghuo this time, Zhang Chen's speed also increased, and Zhang Chen had already arrived at the gate of the village within a cup of tea.

The whole village seems to be no different from other villages, but Zhang Chen's sensitivity as a cultivator found that the aura here is more active than other places. It is obvious that there are some treasures here, or someone has touched the threshold of cultivating the Tao .

Zhang Chen is more inclined to the latter.

Without asking the villagers on the way, Zhang Chen searched along the way as the spiritual energy became stronger and stronger, and finally stopped in front of a small courtyard.

Arriving here, Zhang Chen felt a wave of heat emanating from the small courtyard before entering the door. Zhang Chen knew he had found the right place.

"Is anyone there?" Zhang Chen knocked on the door and asked.

After waiting at the door for a long time but there was no sound at all, Zhang Chen couldn't help being a little embarrassed, and knocked on the door again, "Is there anyone there?"

This time Zhang Chen knocked on the door louder, and after a long time, an extremely impatient voice sounded from inside, "Who is it? No visitor, come back!"

Zhang Chen almost laughed angrily when he heard this sentence.

What a mess, I asked who it was, and said that I didn't see any customers. Zhang Chen had never seen such a person.

"Hello, I'm from Xudu. I heard that there is an old blacksmith here. I came here to visit because I have something here that others can't make." Zhang Chen was not angry either. It is normal for people to have a little temper. After all, if you are not crazy, you can't survive. Even the most powerful people have their own crazy side.

The small courtyard became quiet now, and Zhang Chen keenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from the small courtyard.

With a creaking sound, the door of the small courtyard slowly opened, and a middle-aged and elderly man who looked quite strong opened the door of the small courtyard.

"It's interesting, Xu Du should be that brat Zhang Zhi, and there are things that brat can't solve?" After the little old man said, he glanced at Zhang Chen, "Come in."

After entering the small courtyard, the heat wave he felt before became more obvious. Zhang Chen also smelled a strong smell of pig iron being forged in the air. At the same time, Zhang Chen also noticed that there were no flowers and plants in the small courtyard, even the ground. It began to feel like desertification, which was obviously a side effect of prolonged exposure to high temperatures.

This made Zhang Chen look at the old man differently. The birth of this kind of change will take at least decades of forging, or opening the furnace. Now it seems that this old man should have real skills.

Walking through the small courtyard, Zhang Chen saw a burning furnace with raging flames. Zhang Chen had never seen the furnace before, so it must have been modified by the old man himself.

The old man looked at Zhang Chen after entering the room, "Tell me, what kind of thing is it?"

Zhang Chen smiled, stated his request, and described something about this kind of forged steel.

The old man frowned after hearing Zhang Chen's request, "May I know what you are going to do with such a troublesome thing? You can't process this kind of thing after it is made. If you want to make armor, it is strong enough but not tough enough. , it is easy to fall apart when attacked.”

Zhang Chen thought about it, and didn't hide his idea of ​​using it as a weight, so he said it directly, "It's mainly used as a weight for my students, because the required materials are quite special, so I came to you."

The old man looked at Zhang Chen, "Do you know how much work it takes to make this kind of thing that can carry so much weight?"

Zhang Chen smiled and shook his head, "It doesn't have to be too heavy, as long as it can keep the thickness at this much." As he said, Zhang Chen gestured for a thickness of about two millimeters.

The old man nodded, "It can be done, come and get it in three days."

Zhang Chen was surprised when he heard this, "Three days?" Zhang Chen always thought that with the current craftsmanship, it should take a month, but he didn't expect that it would only take three days.

The old man glanced at Zhang Chen, "Do you think this kind of rough slab has any technical content? The only problem is the material problem, but I have ready-made materials here, so naturally it will be very fast."

Suddenly, Zhang Chen bowed to the old man, "Thank you."

The old man waved his hand, "Hurry up, hurry up, I'm still busy with my business!"

As he spoke, the old man stared intently at the furnace in front of him, with a hint of enthusiasm and hope in his eyes.

Zhang Chen looked at the stove. The temperature in the stove was obviously very high. It could be seen that the old man was experimenting with something, but the waste piled up on the side indicated that the old man hadn't succeeded.

Zhang Chen looked at it for a while and found that this furnace was full of loopholes from the eyes of modern people. It couldn't keep the heat at the very least, and most of the heat was lost to the outside.

"Old man, in fact, as long as you remodel this place, here, and here, no matter what you build, the success rate will be very successful." Zhang Chen said some things that he thought were inappropriate, and then said goodbye to the old man. Shi Shi ran out.

After listening to Zhang Chen's words, the old man looked at the furnace for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh, "What a genius idea!" After he finished speaking, he wanted to continue discussing with Zhang Chen, but unfortunately, Zhang Chen had already left.
