Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

"Add carbon?"    

Everyone in the blacksmith shop was confused by Xiao Yun's answer.    

Because they had never heard of such a saying.    

Why add carbon?    

Isn't carbon the one that burns?    

Anyone would see it every day?    

Wouldn't it be troublesome if this was added to the metal?    

Would the metal also become as fragile as carbon? It would shatter with a pinch of his hand? Then... How could that be?    

He had doubts in his heart, but he didn't dare to ask.    

After all, Xiao Yun's series of forging movements was not something an ordinary person could imagine.    

The laymen would only watch the show and think that it was a good show.    

However, they were experts. They knew that if they wanted to achieve this effect, they would have to practice forging for twenty years before they could do it. It was an absolute master-level technique!    

But how old was Xiao Yun?    

And he was even a young master from a rich family.    

Could it be that this guy had been forging since he was born?    

He added carbon, burned, folded, and pressed it together before continuing.    

Then, he repeated it again and again.    

It was even a little dull.    

One fold, one extra carbon.    

And the sword bar also changed from the original level to two levels.    

Two times, it became four levels.    

The third time was the eighth level.    

As time passed, the number of times the discount was increased to a terrifying 128 times!    

How many levels were there?    

It was unimaginable!    

It was simply impossible to count.    

This was because in the present world, the number of statistical units was not that large!    

However, this discount was still continuing.    

However, Xiao Yun did not just add carbon into it.    

He didn't even say anything when he asked him.    

He couldn't possibly say that this was ashes, right?    

There were many types of elements that he needed. This world didn't have the ability to extract them, they were in the mineral deposits. But... to refine a world of steel that required a lot of effort, could he count on other things?    

As for the ashes, there were too many things. After being hammered, most things, such as calcium, would splash and disappear along with the hammer.    

Only the metal components within would remain.    

For example, there were some other extremely small amounts of metal elements, such as phosphorus.    

All of these were fused into the iron sword, and after going through the infinite bending of the physical level, it was able to reach the state of "half alloy."    

Until it was reduced by 999 times.    

Xiao Yun stopped.    

The shopkeeper said with a trembling voice, "This... if we do it again, won't it be 1000?"    

"A thousand is a huge number. It's naturally not good if we overdo it."    

"Oh..."    

Some metaphysics was easier to accept.    

After that, it was time to set the model.    

The prototype of the sword appeared.    

He knocked out the double-edged blade.    

Then, he looked for Ping.    

If he wanted to find a draw, then it would be a test of a person's smithing ability.    

In just a few moves, Xiao Yun's actions had caused the shopkeeper's jaw to drop.    

How could it be so smooth?    

He had only seen this kind of craftsmanship in the hands of a silver craftsman.    

But that was silver, it was very soft.    

This was... Iron!    

It was so hard that he could die.    

With different hardness, the requirements for the craftsmanship naturally could not be mentioned in the same breath.    

It was just like how people could easily carve wood, but if they carved jade, it would become extremely difficult.    

After a round of hammering, the prototype of the sword had already been formed.    

At the end of the sword, two small words were carved.    

"Qingfeng."    

After that. It's grinding.    

Grinding this kind of thing was far more laborious than what people imagined.    

First, it had to be ground flat, and second, it had to be grinded to form the shape.    

From the tip of the sword to the end, in one go, using the same force and the same angle to directly grind over, this was the first time.    

He couldn't pull it back.    

If he pulled it back, the lines that were grinded out would be messy. It would be especially difficult to grind it flat again.    

Thus, he had to completely withdraw it and then grind it again.    

In between the two times, he had to maintain the same angle and the same force.    

This became especially difficult.    

Without ten years of effort, he wouldn't be able to grind a sword.    

Actually, even if one wanted to grind a kitchen knife well, it would not be possible without a few years of effort.    

Ordinary households used a kitchen knife for their entire lives and also grinded it for their entire lives. In the end, when they met a professional sharpening craftsman, they could not help but take it out to sharpen it for them.    

Even in Xiao Yun's previous life, sharpening a knife itself was a profession. A good whetsmith would not do any other work. He would only sharpen a knife. Furthermore, it was expensive, and the work in his hands would usually be arranged in a few months' time. He would be busy every day.    

In the shop owner's opinion, Xiao Yun's sharpening technique could already be considered to have reached the acme of perfection.    

His mouth was wide open, and he was unable to speak for a long time.    

Actually, the reason Xiao Yun could do such a thing was because in his previous life, all the weapons were made by him.    

In order to do a good job, one must first benefit from the weapon.    

Some of the weapons were personally made by him, so it would be more convenient to use them.    

After grinding them, he used the hard jade to grind them again.    

This also stunned the shop owner.    

The hard jade, red sapphires, and so on were placed in the shop for decoration. They were placed on the scabbard, the hilt, and even some directly embedded on the sword. There were also some.    

But who would have thought that this thing could be grinded?!    

The whole night passed after a single forging, and even the sky outside was already bright.    

Many of the shops in the business district that worked at night had already closed down one after another. Breakfast stalls were also pushed out, and the workers were quickly walking on the road.    

As time passed, the number of people on the road gradually increased.    

Then, the big door opened, sprinkling water to clear the street and clear the snow road.    

Exhaling white air, welcoming a new day.    

The small door of the Hong family Chamber of Commerce was half open.    

Five people were left and right guards, and the first two and second two horses carried a sedan that was suspended in the air.    

The sedan was not big, but the decoration was very exquisite. There was a carbon stove to warm the bed inside, and it was made of extremely precious wood. It looked very noble.    

One. A woman wearing a large feather cloak walked out of the yard. She was carried onto the palanquin by a servant girl. She shivered heavily and hurriedly reached to the side of the charcoal stove. She roasted it for a while before recovering some blood energy.    

"The weather today is a little too cold. I shouldn't have gone out today."    

The young maid also climbed up and adjusted the soft backrest for her. She tucked the corner of her clothes and pressed her palms together to take a breath of hot air. She rubbed it a few times and then shook her shoulders. She secretly leaned towards the side of the stove.    

"Miss, could it be that this dress isn't warm? Hmph, I heard the Xiao family blowing it so strangely, but in the end, it still froze me."    

That young lady rolled her eyes and said, "The clothes are warm, and this hat is also warm, but it's always freezing my face and hands, especially this hand... It's still alright when I carried the bucket earlier."    

The servant girl smiled and said," It's also because the Xiao family is really too stingy. They clearly have prepared gloves and scarves. The old master went to request a few times and actually did not sell them. He said that without the instructions of the master, this kind of thing cannot be sold to us foreigners. He was so stingy! Fortunately, the old master had a good relationship with his master. Hmph!"    

The young lady couldn't help but laugh.    

" You bastard, you just won't forgive me with your mouth. I heard that Xiao Yun was ambushed on the street. He was seriously injured, and even his personal maidservant seemed to be unable to hold on any longer. Who would dare to disturb him now? The reason why his father hadn't paid him a visit these past few days was because he couldn't figure out what Xiao Yun was feeling right now. If he's in a bad mood, it's not impossible for him to interrupt the transaction between the two families..."    

Speaking up to this point, the young lady sighed and said in a low voice," I also heard that third aunt is in a hurry to chase after him. She insisted that father dig out the pill formula and the forging method of the Xiao family's Elegant Blade. Sigh... They don't know anything. They only know how to force father. That kind of thing, even the king of Qin Country wanted it. Do you see him get it? Really."    

The young maid pouted. That's right, that's right! The higher-ups are pushing us too hard. They don't even know how difficult it is for us to be in a foreign country. Not only are we cautious, but we also have to smile with them. "    

"Alright, alright." The young lady smiled gently and said, "Let's not talk about this. Tell me, what do you think about my sword?"    

The maidservant curled her lips and said, "This servant advises that young miss should not hold too much hope. That Xiao family's Elegant Blade. How many people did the old master find to study it? It is simply impossible to figure out how it was forged. At most, it can only be ground into other shapes. For example, if the young lady wanted to change it into a long sword, ordinary blacksmiths definitely wouldn't be able to. Although that blacksmith shop had the best craftsmanship, but could it be compared to those masters whom the old master had hired with a huge amount of money? I think it's over. I'm just afraid that the sword will fall when the time comes. I even lost the blade... Miss, the old master doesn't have many blades from the Xiao family. Most of them have been sent back to the country. Is it really alright for you to take one away like this?"    

"Of... of course it's not a problem."    

Miss couldn't help but feel a little guilty.    

Of course, she was also a little worried about the matter of the longsword.
