C2084 steelmaking (1/2)

King Yi looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar faces in front of him and couldn't help but feel mixed emotions. These people were all the old men he had used that year.

However, being unfamiliar with them was something that they were unfamiliar with. After being trained under Xiao Letian's hand for so many years, everyone had been reborn, and if one were to describe the past Heaven veterans s as fierce as hammers, then they became domineering and charged forward fiercely. Now, these old veterans were like precision guns, their killing intent not diminishing but increasing their lethality by several fold.

It was a unique temperament. King Yi saw the light of wisdom in these veterans' eyes, previously, he relied on the courage and discipline of the soldiers to lead his troops, but today, these soldiers had added a bookish air to their courage and discipline.

The King Yi knew that all the credit belonged to Xiao Letian. Only an abnormal person like him would require all the soldiers in the army to be literate, and everyone had to know how to read and count. It was no wonder that there were not many Chinese soldiers. It was because King Yi knew very well that the literacy rate in this era was very low.

Xiao Letian would never be able to solve this problem by relying on recruitment, he could only rely on his own words and teachings.

Training in the military was already very difficult and taxing, and now with the addition of education, it was obvious that Xiao Letian had put in a lot of effort for the new army.

Letting go of Xiao Letian, King Yi walked in front of his old friends and subordinates. He patted Wang Huaiyuan's shoulders and said, ”Brother, you're thinner.

”Cough, cough …” ”It's alright, it's hard to buy old age with thousands of gold, I've already looked for fortune-tellers to take a look, if you get old age then you'll be able to live a long life!”

King Yi looked at his standard new military salute, then at his well-ironed military uniform, touching the golden star of a general on his lapel, and the golden tassels decorations.

”Beautiful, energetic and mighty! It was really refreshing, it was indeed better than our previous uniforms, it was even better than hyacinth's number one! ”What is this …”

King Yi saw the noble sabre on Wang Huaiyuan's waist at first glance. It was a scabbard wrapped in shark skin, a diamond inlaid gauntlet, and a long and slender sabre body. The King Yi, a master of the era of cold weapons, couldn't take it out no matter how hard he tried.

”This is the Tang Sabre that the Führer had Master Fusang and the Chinese Sword Crafting Masters forge together, using it as the ceremonial soldier's weapon for our generals. It's used for etiquette, no one can use it on a real battlefield! ”

Wang Huaiyuan untied the military blade and handed it over to the Marquis with both hands. King Yi pressed on the spring, and the cold Tang Dao jumped out half an inch, revealing the beautiful Hundred Refinement Water Ripples.

”Hiss …” Wasn't this supposed to be two hundred refining? Such a fine ripple of water! ” King Yi exclaimed.

Xiao Letian explained on the side, ”Oh, it's more than that. ”This is unimaginable in the ancient times, but now that Northern Industrial Zones already has ten thousand kiln of washing machines, we can also forge Tang Dao that exceeds four hundred kilograms …”

The ancient Hundred Refined Blades and Swords actually have the same principle as the Thousand Layered Sentinels in the kitchen. One side is forged with steel, the other side is forged with steel.

This process relied on strength to strike out the impurities in the red-hot steel. Moreover, the folded steel had a more even stress, and its rigidity and toughness were also very good, so it wouldn't break easily.

In ancient times, it was purely based on the use of manpower. After industrialization, mechanical forging replaced manpower, which allowed the rapid development of iron smelting techniques.

When Xiao Letian saw King Yi's fixed gaze, he hurriedly tried out a color for Jin Sanshun. The little fatty ran behind him and took out a long sandalwood box.

”Your Highness! The Head of the Guards specially prepared these for you: five hundred forging weapons! ”

King Yi's eyes lit up when he heard that. He took out the ceremonial sword, and a cold light shone into the depths of his eyes. ”Indeed a good blade.
