How I Pampered the Tyrant Into Devotion With My Space-Chapter 627: Superweapon
Then came the forging stage.
The material of the metal is one factor, but the forging technique also affects the hardness and sharpness of the weapon.
What he is eager to forge now is the military knife that Pei Shu’er had previously brought out.
That little thing is so sharp, if transformed into a larger knife or sword, it would certainly be extremely sharp.
Of course, it emerged from the production line, and their skills are not yet mature. There are still many components they haven’t figured out, and they are currently in the learning phase.
Then they found related forging videos.
It was discovered that using the video’s forging method, the sharpness of the military knife is much superior compared to those produced by machines on the production line.
Tang Zan had previously watched forging videos; he learned while watching them in space. He had memorized the skills, but was still somewhat inexperienced.
Tang Zan said: "Everyone, watch my technique and forge along with me."
The blacksmiths were initially puzzled, not understanding why the War King would personally forge.
When they saw the unprecedented forging method, the blacksmiths exchanged glances. Could this technique truly forge an indestructible legendary weapon?
Until they saw a knife slowly taking shape, with a color and shape distinctly different from other blades, yet clearly a fine blade blank.
The blacksmiths dared not slack off, eagerly learned forging from Tang Zan.
Tang Zan was drenched in sweat, his clothes soaked, clinging to him, hindering his performance.
So Tang Zan removed his upper garment and set it aside. As he forged, his fluid muscles revealed themselves, exuding a strong masculine aura.
Even as Pei Shu’er watched, she couldn’t help blushing and her heart racing.
She had to turn to books to study the machines for producing weapons on a production line.
After all, tens of thousands of people lacked weapons; relying on manually forging each one would take forever.
If machines could be made, it might even give them a strategic advantage and catch Yan Hengyin off guard in real combat.
That day, Pei Shu’er organized all the key points into a notebook.
Tang Zan also completed the knife he was forging.
Pei Shu’er went over to check, and it was a knife with a slight bluish shimmer.
Tang Zan struck a sword made earlier with the knife without using any inner strength, and the sword broke instantly.
The blacksmiths were stunned; the earlier sword was made with new iron, with the same materials.
Just by using a different forging technique, the power of this knife was so much greater.
The blacksmiths found direction in their efforts and eagerly began forging using Tang Zan’s methods.
Though not as skilled as Tang Zan, they were seasoned blacksmiths with decades of experience; the techniques were quite basic.
Only the steps were different.
When the swords were finished, they could cut through swords forged earlier.
At that moment, joy shone in the blacksmiths’ eyes.
They had forged weapons all their lives but had never seen such a rapid improvement in quality before.
Even with the same metal material, the hardness should not differ greatly.
But Tang Zan showed them that forging techniques could also make weapons sharper.
They wanted to forge more, and more powerful weapons.
The first batch of weapons were distributed to the commanders, totaling ten blades.
Ma Zhong raised an eyebrow as he held one in his hand.
"I already have a knife."
General Zhao said nothing and directly tried a technique on a tree with his sword.
The tree, the thickness of a bowl, creaked and fell to the ground.
General Zhao was stunned; he hadn’t used any strength, how did the tree fall?
He then felt thankful; good thing he hadn’t cut a person, or they would have been severed in half. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
He hurriedly sheathed the sword.
Ma Zhong, unconcerned earlier, was also stunned, uttering: "Wow," and walked over to inspect the fallen tree closely.
The cut surface was smooth and freshly made, clearly just cut.
He swallowed hard, no longer dismissing the knife in his hand, and cut another slice of the tree trunk.
Quickly, another section detached from the trunk.
He glanced at General Zhao, a smile slowly spreading across his face.
"Damn it, doesn’t Yan Hengyin boast that his troops have the best weapons? Let him see if his weapons can compare to ours now."
They both laughed heartily, imagining the destruction their weapons could cause against adversaries.
And how the survival rate of the newer soldiers around them would improve.
Some hundred households, not yet armed, were envious too. In battle, good weapons are extremely important.
They borrowed the blade from the two and tried it themselves, discovering the weapon was indeed excellent.
Then Ma Zhong, who had been dismissive of the weapon, specifically went to ask Tang Zan.
"Your Highness, why aren’t more people being given them?"
Tang Zan casually glanced at Ma Zhong, who touched his nose, realizing his intentions were seen through.
No longer beating around the bush, he straightforwardly asked: "Your Highness, when will the others have weapons like this? Many still don’t have any weapons."
Tang Zan replied calmly: "Wait."
Ma Zhong left, feeling dismissed, touching his nose in frustration.
With a hundred blacksmiths, even the fastest could only produce about three weapons each a day, totaling three hundred a day.
With the pressing situation, a battle could break out at any moment.
So everyone eagerly anticipated.
Meanwhile, Pei Shu’er and Tang Zan were researching how to make the machines.
Forging weapons required not just one machine, but an entire production line.
Manual labor could also be employed in certain steps.
The two studied intensively for five days, making progress with their minds combined with books and videos, finally creating the first machine.
Within a month, the production line was successfully completed.
Tang Zan began selecting people for training and commenced weapon production.
All of this was done in a secret location, unknown to anyone, with personnel carefully selected.
The first batch of weapons had some failures, leading to a second batch of experiments.
It wasn’t until the fifth batch that success was achieved.
Tang Zan then melted down the previously wasted materials, re-smelting them in the furnace.
With this production line, fifteen hundred blades could be produced daily, plus the three hundred from the blacksmiths.
Currently, fifty thousand people lacked weapons.
Within less than a month, they could be forged.
Though the quality can’t match those crafted by a blacksmith, it far surpasses existing weapons.
