After the mood of the craftsmen finally calmed down, Ma Chao ordered these people to continue working.
After this, the slaves no longer had that dull and mechanical look on their faces, but everyone was extremely happy.
Some smart people still had their eyes rolling around, seeming to be looking for improvements in the iron shop.
When he got here, Ma Chao wanted to leave, but when he saw that the blacksmith who had used the torch was still standing there, as if he had something to say, Ma Chao stopped, turned around and asked, "Do you have anything to say?"
Want to say" The blacksmith heard Ma Chao's inquiry and immediately knelt down.
Ma Chao hurriedly helped him up and said to all the craftsmen: "In the future, all craftsmen will not be so polite when they see you."
As a result, this time, the craftsmen fell to their knees again.
Ma Chao and Han Feng had no choice but to go back to work after a lot of effort.
"Young Master, I discovered that our quenching process can be improved, so that's why."
The blacksmith still didn't dare to get up, but he spoke more fluently.
"Oh, if there is such a thing, get up and talk to someone."
Ma Chaoda Le: It's not that our people don't have creativity, it's just that we haven't explored it properly.
You see, isn’t this just starting to resonate with you right away?
"The young master invented this bellows, which can obviously increase the temperature in the furnace, and the iron blocks will melt faster and better.
But the water used for quenching in the forge house is just well water.
If the smelted iron blocks are very refined, of If you use well water to quench, the iron will become stiff and easy to break.
Therefore, I was wondering if I could use milder mountain spring water to quench."
When talking about quenching, the blacksmith became more talkative.
Ma Chao was not very proficient in ironmaking, but he also knew what the blacksmith meant.
That is to say, when quenching with cold well water, the cooling rate is relatively fast, so the hardness of the iron block is very reliable, but it is easy to break; when quenching with mountain spring water, because the cooling rate is relatively small, the iron block is not easy to break.
Cracking and deformation, with a certain degree of toughness.
However, if mountain spring water is used for quenching, the hardness cannot be guaranteed.
The key and know-how can only be mastered by craftsmen through proficiency.
The blacksmith probably discovered that quenching with well water would cause the weapon to break easily, so he thought of using mountain spring water to quench it.
"What you said is very reasonable, but have you ever thought that if the weapon is quenched with mountain spring water, the hardness of the weapon may not be guaranteed.
In this case, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"
Ma Chao said his question, looking forward to that The blacksmith can solve it.
However, the blacksmith had not even tested the quenching of mountain spring water, so how could he have imagined this?
However, the blacksmith was really a talent.
After thinking for a while, he said: "Well water gathers the essence of the moon, and mountain spring water is beautiful when it is illuminated by the sun.
The villain was thinking about whether he could temper it in well water and then anneal it in mountain spring water.
In this way, he might be able to obtain a hard and extremely tough weapon."
Ma Chao is not an omnipotent science madman, but when he heard the craftsman talking about quenching, his mind suddenly moved, and he thought of a TV plot: Among the thirteen provinces, the Qiao family's anti-war sword was very effective in quenching with horse urine.
Can easily cut Japanese swords animal urine I seem to have heard of double-liquid quenching.
Yes, when the blacksmith said that he uses well water first and then mountain spring water, he doesn't mean double-liquid quenching.
I remember I read it in a novel, and it said it was used to make weapons. step Ma Chao frowned and thought hard.
There was a passage of text in his mind, but he couldn't remember it.
The blacksmith opposite seemed to be thinking too.
For a moment, the two of them looked at each other as if they were possessed by a demonic disease.
Raw iron and wrought iron are combined in one place, and after a few nights, they become steel.
Use soft iron as the spine of the knife, bathe in the urine of five animals, and temper it with the fat of five animals.
By the way, that seems to be it Ma Chao suddenly remembered, clapped his hands and said to the blacksmith: Pour the liquid pig iron directly onto the wrought iron, melt it several times to carburize the iron, and then forge it repeatedly with force to precipitate impurities, refine and uniform the grains, and make the sword Full of toughness, the double-liquid quenching method is used to quench the sword with animal urine and fat.
This can increase the performance of the sword and even cut iron like clay.
Moreover, the sword forged in this way will have strange lines on it, cutting iron like clay, and is very powerful.
"Pouring pig iron on wrought iron with animal urine" The blacksmith had never heard of this method before and was a little confused: "Young Master, is this feasible?"

But Ma Chao didn't care about this and said boldly: "It doesn't matter whether it works or not, you try it first.
If it doesn't work, we will think of other ways to improve."
While walking back and forth, Ma Chao admired himself: It seems that this late Han Dynasty The iron smelting and forging industry in the future will be carried forward in my hands, Ma, and create another miracle.
"By the way, your surname is all your own."
Ma Chao happily looked at the already somewhat stupid blacksmith, and was already determined to promote this quite creative blacksmith.
"The villain has a base name.
Because he is a slave, his surname has been cut off.
I dare not mention it again.
As for those thoughts, they are all the villain's random thoughts.
If it is useless, I hope the young master will not blame you."
The blacksmith heard Ma Chao ask. , replied hurriedly.
"How can I blame you?
Just based on your thoughts, I decided to take off your slave status for you, and you can still wear your previous surname."
Ma Chao immediately announced loudly, making the craftsmen who were still working have a look in their eyes.
After getting rid of all his energy, he slapped himself directly on the forehead: Why can't he think of some useful methods with his stupid brain?
"The villain's original surname is Pu, a native of Sichuan."
The blacksmith immediately said his surname, kowtowed with tears of gratitude and shouted: "Pu Yuan has thanked the young master for his great kindness.
In this life, he has been working as a cow and a horse, and there is nothing to repay."
"Stop talking about being a cow or a horse.
From now on, you will no longer be."
Ma Chao wanted to continue to show off his generosity and kindness, and his discerning eye, but in the middle of the sentence, he suddenly stopped and said with a fearless expression.
He asked with a confident tone: "You said your name is Pu Yuan, the iron master who made three thousand magic swords for Zhuge Liang."
"The villain is indeed Pu Yuan, but what did the young master say about Zhuge Liang and the Magic Sword?"
Although Pu Yuan still looked grateful, he couldn't help but feel guilty when he heard Ma Chao's tone: Isn't this young master so happy that he is talking nonsense?
Then what he said before does not count.
"Oh, it doesn't matter.
From now on, you will no longer work personally.
I will appoint you as the blacksmith supervisor.
From now on, you will be responsible for all the smelting and forging in the forge."
Ma Chao smiled, and then He increased his bargaining chips and planned to firmly hold the future iron master in his hands.
At this time, Pu Yuan didn't know his own value at all.
After hearing Ma Chao's reward, although he knew that he might have reached the sky in one step, he still asked tremblingly: "Young master, what kind of thing is this blacksmith supervisor?"
Is there any need for double-liquid quenching depending on the temperature?"
Han Feng was so angry at the side that he wished he could slap Pu Yuan on the elm head: "The blacksmith supervisor is the official of the county guard.
In other words, you will be like a certain person in the future, and you will also receive a salary and eat the royal food."
"Ah" Pu Yuan suddenly heard this and fainted.
And many of the blacksmiths next to them also screamed: It turns out that these people don't really believe that they can be officials.
At this time, Ma Chao punched hard, causing them to fall into a state of chaos.
Except for the fainted ones, the others Either he was burned or his foot was hit by a piece of iron.
After all, with this psychological quality, he was still the greatest iron master in the late Han Dynasty.
Ma Chao curled his lips and said with disdain in his heart. s: A good man is mighty.
Will he be paid every day in the future?
Pu Yuan was not so big at this time in history, but this is fictional history, so don’t worry so much.
It’s easy to cut:
