As soon as he entered the forging room, a hot breath came over him, causing Ma Chao to take two steps back.
Ma Chao estimated that the temperature in the forge room at this time was at least 40 degrees Celsius.
Moreover, this is the outermost doorway, and the forging furnace inside will be at least more than sixty degrees.
This kind of temperature is simply not something humans can bear.
Ma Chao immediately felt the blood flowing down his body like water, and walked into the forging room with a frown.
At this time, dozens of bare-chested blacksmiths were hammering hard with hammers.
The clanging sound resounded through the sky, and the red fire almost melted the whole world.
It was so hot that it was suffocating.
Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan couldn't help wiping the sweat from their foreheads with their hands, their expressions were painful.
But at this time, Ma Chao, who was walking in front of the two of them, had already adapted, as if the blazing fire could not heat his body that had been frozen in the snow peaks.
"Zi" A strong blacksmith immersed a prepared spearhead in the bucket, and a plume of green smoke suddenly appeared.
The green smoke burned the blacksmith's strong body, and a large amount of sweat dripped down his bronze skin.
On his back, they formed criss-crossing streams of sweat.
Seeing Ma Chao appear accompanied by Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan, the blacksmith bowed respectfully and said, "I have seen the young master."
"Yes."
Ma Chao nodded and asked, "How many shots have you shot?"
What Ma Chao asked was naturally the spearhead of the javelin.
The blacksmith was a little nervous.
He didn't know whether to continue his work or answer Ma Chao's question.
Ma Chao smiled and said lightly: "Let's stop for a moment, not at this moment."
The man felt much more relaxed when he saw Ma Chao being so approachable.
He wiped his sweat and replied, "More than 10,000 of them have been made, but there is not enough iron left."
Ma Chao's eyes lit up and he asked: "Is it ready?"
Pu Yuan understood what Ma Chao meant and immediately replied: "There are enough personnel in the arsenal now.
After the attack is launched, it has been connected to the barrel of the gun."
Ma Chao said: "Let's go and have a look."
But as soon as he took a step, Ma Chao stopped, turned around and said to Pu Yuan: "Stop it, this heat is simply unbearable."
"The young master is so kind.
Not only does he send anti-summer medicine and mung bean soup to the craftsmen in the arsenal, but he also takes care of such and such a certain person.
It is really hard to repay the kindness of the young master even if he dies."
"Well, Young Master forgives me, and I am indescribably grateful.
To be honest, Young Master, many blacksmiths have fainted from heat in the past few days."
Zheng Hun continued, and hesitated: "However, Young Master has There are more than 25,000 Xiliang cavalry.
Even if there is no war in the short term, each person will need at least three javelins.
Now, these 10,000 are simply not enough. " "Then rest during the day and work at night."
Ma Chao suddenly thought of something in his mind, but he couldn't remember it in a hurry, so he had to say: "I went back and thought about it carefully.
It seems that there is a way to make ice in summer. , allowing craftsmen to rest better during the day.”
Zheng Hun and Pu Yuan looked at each other, speechless, as if they thought Ma Chao was joking.
But seeing Ma Chao's serious look, the two of them didn't dare to say anything.
However, what I was thinking about was: I really met a good master who was considerate of his servants.
There is no master in all the nine states of Han Dynasty who treats his slaves so well.
But the two of them didn't know that Ma Chao was very clever in his calculation: Jia Huxu said that by winning people's hearts, these people would marry and have children in the future.
And these people praise their merits every day, and their wives and children will naturally spread the word.
In this way, doesn't this person's heart become human?
What's more, let you have a good rest, but for better work.

Ma Chao would not be stupid enough to do that.
As for saying that Ma Chao is kind, humph, these craftsmen have not gone out.
If you go out to Fufeng and see the fate of those famous families, you will know whether Ma Chao is kind or not: those who dare to report to the counties and counties about the re-cultivation of wasteland on the border, It was a bit better, but he was educated by county officials, saying that the abandoned fields had been confiscated long ago, so don't go against the wind and commit crimes.
And those large households that farm directly without notifying them will end up badly.
He was directly arrested by the ugly brother Huang Yuan on charges of rebellion and colluding with foreigners.
What's more serious is that the houses of large households that were found to be involved with Dong Zhuo were immediately confiscated.
Among the remaining prominent families, no one dared to explode.
The titles of Ma Butcher, Ma Manzi, and Ma Shuzi have long been passed down among the wealthy families.
Ma Chao's kindness is also divided into objects.
Pu Yuan led the way, and Ma Chao followed.
When they arrived at the warehouse behind the forge house, they saw a large pile of iron spears piled up like a hill.
Picking up the tip of a spear, Ma Chao weighed it.
It weighed about two kilograms.
The triangular spear blade emitted a sharp light.
The sharpened spear blade, coupled with the wooden shaft, was a perfect murder weapon.
If a worker wants to do his job well, he must first sharpen his tools.
Xiliang Iron Cavalry has long been a tiger and wolf force, but Ma Chao feels that this tiger and wolf still lacks sharp teeth and claws, and only tigers and wolves with sharp teeth and claws are truly formidable tigers and wolves that can make all beasts surrender.
The Xiliang cavalry equipped with double-sided stirrups can fully exert their maximum strength to throw javelins on horseback, and there are those Qiang and Hu warriors among them, but they can also fight on horseback.
If such a tiger and wolf division goes out, what will happen?
How to shock the enemy's nightmare But now, those Xiliang cavalry who can't ride and shoot no longer need to feel inferior.
Although the throwing distance of the javelin cannot be compared with the shooting range of the bow and arrow, it is powerful and heavy, and the damage caused is much greater than that of the arrow.
Moreover, the javelin does not need to be aimed, it is easy to repair, and can be used repeatedly, which is really rare. weapon Ma Chao felt that he could also make some throwing axes in the future.
The power of the throwing axes was greater than that of javelins and the damage they caused was greater.
However, casting tens of thousands of hand axes requires a lot of iron.
Ma Chao's current financial deficit means that he simply cannot get that much.
Iron, so we can only settle for the second best and use javelins, which just solves the problem of secondary use of these discarded gun barrels.
"instigate" Ma Chao jogged a few steps and threw the javelin forward fiercely.
The nearly two-meter-long wooden handle trembled rapidly, making a harsh sound as it broke through the air.
The sharpened spear blade drew a cold streak in the air.
The coldness swept forward like a silver snake.
"Duo" The javelin shot out like an arrow flew dozens of steps against the ground, and then pierced into a soil wall like a sharp arrow.
After a muffled sound, the javelin pierced through the soil wall several feet thick, and its remaining momentum was not exhausted. , You flew forward dozens of steps before falling to the ground.
Ma Chao walked behind the soil wall, picked up the fallen javelin and looked at it, then frowned a little.
This power is enough, but at the same time, the tip of the spear is also destroyed.
What's more serious is that Ma Chao is still trotting.
If he throws the javelin with the momentum of the horse, it is obvious that the javelin will definitely break into three or four pieces.
Pu Yuan and Zheng Hun also discovered this problem, and Zheng Hun obviously had more management skills than Pu Yuan.
He immediately ordered his team leader: "Go and inform the blacksmiths to rest for the next few days.
Wait until someone solves the problem.
After solving the problem, we can start working again.”
"Slow" Ma Chao stopped the team leader who was about to pass the order.
He already had a solution to this problem: "Mixing lead into the spear tip can solve this problem."
Zheng Hun, Pu Yuan and the team leaders' eyes lit up, and they couldn't help but praise in their hearts: The young master is really quick-witted and thought of a solution in an instant.
He is really a god.
But Ma Chao laughed: Nonsense, those Roman soldiers' javelin tips were mixed with lead to increase the weight, thereby increasing the penetrating power.

I just copied it. s: The play between Chou Ge, Mu Yuanfeng and gay friends is so warm and touching.
But God, I was so busy in the afternoon that I finally installed the air conditioner.
The weather forecast said it was going to rain heavily.
Are you trying to kill me?
