"That's right, it's that kind of material. It's the steel I mentioned before!"
Zhang Feng nodded and continued. He pointed at the blueprint and said, "Most of the weapons on the market are made by companies. Although these things can be said to be willful, they are very easy to damage. If a crossbow is used for a long time, it can be said that it has to be reforged.
"But if a little bit of it is used, even if it's only used on the bowstring of a crossbow, the software will not only increase the hardness, strength, and extension of the crossbow to a certain extent, but it will also allow the crossbow to reach the limit of its shooting range, which is the 1,000 steps I mentioned just now!"
The eyes of Niu Jinda and the others turned red in an instant.
This kid had mentioned steel more than once before.
He had also said that it was invulnerable and that the rain was an invincible spear.
However, this kid had always regarded it as a treasure and had not taken any action. But now, the Emperor had allowed this kid to take out this thing at such a critical time.
Even so, this kid still did not reveal how awesome this thing was. He had only told Chen Chumo and the others before.
At that time, everyone thought that Zhang Feng was really bragging, and they only remembered the invulnerable spear and the invincible spear in their minds. How could they remember this material? In their hearts, this material was nothing more than that kind of iron with some other things added. But now, what about this time?
This kid had actually said this in front of a group of blacksmiths from the Western Region who had been captured by them. Could it be that these two people, especially Algernon, were very useful to this kid?
Everyone couldn't help but look at Algernon again.
Even so, Algernon did not react at all. It was as if what Zhang Feng had said had nothing to do with him.
Niu Jinda's temper couldn't help but rise again.
When Zhang Feng arrived, he was even more expectant.
The more calm he was at a time like this, the more it showed that this person was awesome, really awesome.
It was just that Young Master Zhang's words hadn't poked at their sore spot yet. Zhang Feng wasn't in a hurry. He once again explained to Niu Jinda and the others what was awesome about the crossbow. Instead of his previous indifference, he mysteriously pulled Liu Jinda and the others to the side and used a voice that everyone could faintly hear to speak.
"Brothers, do you still remember the firearms I mentioned before?"
Niu Jinda, Yuchi Gong, and the others' eyes lit up when they heard this.
They nodded without hesitation. "I've heard of it. Didn't you want to make this thing? Didn't you ask these people to come here and make this thing? You talked about steel and this crossbow, which led us all to the same place. Don't tell me you don't want to make this thing? "
Zhang Feng glanced at Arjinnon and said, "No, you're wrong. That thing must be practiced. But before practicing that thing, you have to practice what you just did. If you can't even practice what you just did, then you should just forget about that thing, right?"
Yuchi Gong frowned. "What do you mean?"
Zhang Feng smiled faintly and raised his voice a little. "Do you know why I haven't started yet? It's not that I don't want to do it, it's just that I can use it to protect myself. It's also a great opportunity for me to make a name for my White Deer Institute. Just like what you said just now, if I can solve the Emperor's urgent problem, wouldn't I be able to enter the Imperial Court in an instant? Wouldn't I have to wait for the Imperial Examination three years later? "
"But under this premise, the train is very dangerous. If it's not handled properly, not only will it hurt others, it will also hurt oneself. So, Old Yu, you know that I cherish my life. If there's even the slightest danger, I won't dare to do it."
Yuchi Gong nodded at Cheng Yaojin. This kid was as timid as a mouse. However, they didn't know what Zhang Feng was trying to say, so they could only go along with him. "Kid, if you have something to say, just say it. Don't dawdle like a girl."
"Alright! I know that you, Old Yu, are an impatient person. Let's put it this way. Steel is a very important thing. It's refined from iron, and it's even more precious than snot. Take the iron piled up here as an example.
Zhang Feng pointed at the pile of scrap metal in the corner of the forging room and said, "As you can see, this pile of scrap metal doesn't add up to more than ten thousand pounds. It seems like a lot to you, but if I tell you that if you want to smelt them all and reforge them, you can only make about a hundred catties of steel, would you believe me?"
"A hundred catties?"
Yuchi Gong, Niu Jinda, and the others weren't the only ones who were surprised. Even the blacksmiths from the Western Region were shocked as they looked at the piles of worn-out ironware behind them.
Even Algernon hurriedly glanced at the pile of rusty subways next to him.
Everyone couldn't believe it at this time. There was about 80,000 jin of scrap iron, but how could they praise it? There were so many things in this kid's mouth, but he could only smelt out 100 jin. What was going on with his so-called steel?
Zhang Feng ignored everyone's shock, because his eyes were fixed on Algernon and Niu Jinlong.
Seeing that Algernon finally reacted, he couldn't help but raise his voice again. "Yes, you didn't hear it wrong. It's a hundred catties. Do you know why? This is where the difficulty of this thing lies. In the eyes of many people, these things seem to have reached the pinnacle, but in my eyes, they are still just scrap metal. Even the famous Mo saber of the Great Tang is just a pile of scrap metal used by children to fight in my eyes. In front of a real steel saber, no matter how many iron sabers there are, they are just like wooden sticks! "
"…"
Silence.
Silence.
A deathly silence!
Everyone was completely silent at this time.
Seeing this, Zhang Feng continued to use his big move.
He firmly believed that as long as the temptation was strong enough, he could even grind a hundred-meter-thick iron rod into a needle!
"So, as long as this thing is really made, I can make it for you even if it has a range of ten thousand steps, let alone a thousand steps! However, even the cleverest housewife can't cook without rice. I originally thought that this time, Old Bull, you would find me some top-notch blacksmithing talents from the Western Region. But I never expected that Old Bull, Old Bull, you would find me a bunch of trash! "
"…"
