When Dongfang Jian and the others arrived at the place where the meteorite had landed, they saw a huge meteorite lying there quietly. Under the illumination of the torch, they could see that the meteorite was still emitting white gas. Dongfang Jian was pleasantly surprised when he saw it. It should be known that ordinary meteors were basically rubbed clean when they passed through the atmosphere. Those that could fall through the atmosphere were definitely extremely hard metal materials, which were commonly known as cold iron in ancient times. A few dozen kilograms of ordinary cold iron was enough to make countless blacksmiths break their heads. Now, this huge meteorite, if excluding a small amount of stone skin, would weigh at least a hundred thousand kilograms. It was enough to make thousands of excellent weapons. At the thought of this, Dongfang Jian hurriedly instructed everyone,""Guards, protect this place well. No one is allowed to enter or leave within a five-mile radius.”The hundred soldiers immediately spread out and cleaned up the scene within a five-mile radius, not allowing a single bird beast to enter.
Dongfang Jian then said to Dian Wei,"Ziman, send someone to invite Pu Yuan, the blacksmith, to come here as soon as possible."?”After receiving the order, Dian Wei immediately ordered his men to ride into the city. Dongfang Jian, on the other hand, walked toward the meteorite. When he was one meter away from the surface of the meteorite, a wave of heat hit his face. Good heavens, it was even more satisfying than taking a bath in a sauna.
Dongfang Jian stood there and drew his sword from his waist. He slashed at the surface of the meteorite, and the stone layer on the surface of the meteorite fell off, revealing the shiny silver iron inside. The sword was broken into several pieces. Dongfang Jian glanced at the sword fragments on the ground and thought," What hard refined iron. Although his sword was not a treasured sword, it was still forged from refined iron. He did not expect it to become like this. From this, one could see the hardness and quality of the meteorite.
"My lord, why is this stone wrapped in refined iron?”Dian Wei and the others came behind Dongfang Jian. Seeing Dongfang Jian's sword slash down, revealing the cold essence iron, they were puzzled. Therefore, Zhang Liao immediately asked.
Dongfang Jian threw away the broken sword and said with a smile,""Wen Yuan, you might not know this, but when I was traveling the world in my early years, I once saw a meteorite falling from outer space. I was fortunate enough to receive guidance from a strange person, so I learned that there are roughly three types of meteorites.”
"My lord, please enlighten me. What are the three types?”Zhang Liao and the others 'interest was piqued by Dongfang Jian, and they quickly asked. Dongfang Jian could not hide it, so he smiled and said,""Everyone, there's no need to be like this.”After saying that, Dongfang Jian sorted out his thoughts and said,""Back then, that mutant was quite knowledgeable about the composition of substances and developed a unique naming method for substances. There were several types of materials in meteorites, and they were roughly divided into three types. The first type was the stone-iron meteorite, also known as meteorolite. The second type was stone meteorites, also known as meteorites. The main component was silica, and this type of meteorite was the most common. " The third type is the one in front of us. It's called an iron meteorite, also known as meteoric iron. Its main components are iron and Ni, and meteoric iron is five to ten times harder than ordinary iron ore. If you use it to forge weapons, it will definitely be a divine weapon!”
After saying that, Dongfang Jian smiled and glanced at the confused generals. He thought to himself, It's like I'm playing the lute to a cow even if I tell you guys. It looks like Dongfang Jian will consider building a school in the future so that they can learn chemistry.
"Big brother, why can't I understand what big brother is saying?”Zhang Fei's habit of being outspoken again. When he encountered a question he did not know, he immediately asked. This time, because the generals were also confused and wanted to know what Dongfang Jian was talking about, no one blamed Dian Wei for his recklessness. Instead, they fixed their eyes on Dongfang Jian and waited for his answer.
Dongfang Jian smiled and said," It's normal that Yide doesn't understand. The knowledge here is too mysterious, and even a sword can't know everything. However, there's one thing that Yide needs to remember. With this abnormally huge meteoric iron, your excellent weapons will be secured."”
"Is that so? That's great. I was worried that I didn't have a suitable weapon. Since big brother said so, it seems that I don't have to worry anymore.”The moment Zhang Fei heard that his weapon was ready, he couldn't stop laughing. His laughter was even louder than that of a person who was singing with a microphone in a karaoke room. It seemed that if Zhang Fei continued to practice, he might really kill 7 - 8 battle generals. If that was the case, it would be much easier for him to fight in the future. If Zhang Fei could directly kill a few enemy generals in front of the battle formation, he could then lead the army to kill them for a while. Wouldn't that be a piece of cake...
Dongfang Jian thought to himself, but on the surface, he smiled and said,""Don't worry, this meteoric metal is so huge. I'm afraid that it will weigh at least 100,000 jin. It's enough to forge suitable weapons for the soldiers.”Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they heard Dongfang Jian's words. What kind of concept was this? In this era, ordinary iron ores were rare, and the price of iron was relatively expensive. To forge an ordinary weapon, it would cost more than ten strings of money, including the capital and interest. It was absolutely precious. However, this piece of meteoric iron was five times harder than ordinary iron ores. Wasn't it even more precious? He thought about how he would use the divine weapon that could cut iron like mud to cut the enemy's weapon in half when he went to battle in the future. How awe-inspiring would that be? Thinking of this, all the soldiers revealed looks of yearning and intoxication.
Dongfang Jian found it funny when he saw them in a daze. However, it was not good for them to be in a daze like this. If they were to be like this on the battlefield, they would be doomed. At the thought of this, Dongfang Jian immediately coughed lightly. When the generals heard this, they immediately came back to their senses and thanked Dongfang Jian repeatedly. Dongfang Jian waved his hand and said,""Gentlemen, as a general, you should be on high alert in case of any accidents. If you were to be in a daze like just now, wouldn't it be a mistake if you were attacked by assassins? Therefore, I hope that everyone will be vigilant and not be tempted by benefits that will endanger your lives.”
Dongfang Jian's words were sincere and earnest. When the generals heard it, they felt extremely ashamed. Their faces were as red as Guan Yu's as they lowered their heads to accept his teachings. Just as Dongfang Jian was comforting his generals, a voice was heard from afar."My lord, Pu Yuan the blacksmith has arrived.”
Dongfang Jian raised his eyes and saw that his trusted soldiers had already brought Pu Yuan over. He hurriedly walked out of the crater with his generals and went up to meet them.
When the bodyguard and Pu Yuan saw Dongfang Jian coming forward, they quickly dismounted and bowed.""Greetings, my lord."
Dongfang Jian hurriedly helped them up and said,""There's no need to be so polite. Master Pu Yuan, please take a look at this meteoric metal.”After saying that, he pointed at the center of the crater.
Pu Yuan looked over. When he saw that there was a meteorite with a diameter of about ten meters, he was so shocked that he was tongue-tied. He didn't think that there would be such a huge meteorite this time. This was something he had never seen before.
"Milord, can I come closer to take a look?" Pu Yuan asked in surprise.”
"That's good." Dongfang Jian nodded.”
When he got close, Pu Yuan noticed the corner of the refined iron and was shocked: "Coldsteel?" In his impatience, he immediately reached out to the meteoric iron that was emitting traces of cold air. He did not care about the heat emitted from the surface of the meteoric iron at all. It seemed that his years of forging had trained his body to be immune to heat.
As soon as Pu Yuan's right hand touched the surface of the meteoric iron, a cold air entered his body through his fingers, causing Pu Yuan to shiver." It's indeed the Coldsteel from the outer sky, my lord. It's indeed the Coldsteel from the outer sky."”Pu Yuan shouted excitedly, his eyes revealing a fanatical expression.
"Coldsteel? Was this what the Three Kingdoms called meteoric iron?”"Master Pu Yuan, may I ask what is the Heavenly Coldsteel?" Dongfang Jian muttered in his heart.”
When Pu Yuan heard Dongfang Jian Xiang's question, he said excitedly,"" My lord, you may not know this, but the Coldsteel is the hardest metal in the world. My ancestor once obtained a palm-sized piece of Coldsteel by chance. He used it to forge a weapon called the Heavenly Halberd. The Heavenly Halberd is extremely sharp, a divine weapon that can cut hair with a single blow. However…" Pu Yuan sighed, his expression somewhat gloomy.
"But what?" Dongfang Jian was puzzled.”
" It's just…" Pu Yuan said," It's just that an innocent man is guilty. Because of that Heavenly Halberd, Yuan's Ancestral Master was murdered by evil people and died tragically at home. His wife and children were no exception. They were…sigh!”As he said this, Pu Yuan looked up to the sky and sighed. His expression was filled with indescribable loneliness and grief.
Dongfang Jian sighed slightly. No matter the time or place, as long as there was a group of people, it was hard to guarantee that such a thing would not happen. There were many stories in history about killing people for money, so Dongfang Jian was more open-minded. The Heavenly Halberd. In the Three Kingdoms, only Lu Bu's weapon was called the Heavenly Halberd. However, he had never expected that Lu Bu's Heavenly Halberd was also made from the Coldsteel of the Heavens. When everyone heard that the Heavenly Halberd was made from the Coldsteel, they all turned to look at Lu Bu. Lu Bu knew that it was because of the Heavenly Halberd. He explained,""When my master passed it to me, he didn't say that he knew about the cold iron from beyond the heavens.”Everyone knew that Lu Bu never lied, so they believed him. Besides, so what if he didn't believe it? If he fought, everyone present would probably be his opponent. Besides, even if he knew, what could he do if he didn't say anything?
Dongfang Jian looked at the generals and knew what they were thinking. However, he did not say anything. He only patted Pu Yuan's shoulder and said,""Master Pu Yuan, the dead are gone! Please cheer up." Pu Yuan only sighed with emotion. After all, he had only heard about this matter from his master, so he was not that sad. After listening to Dongfang Jian's consolation, Pu Yuan composed himself and said,"Daren is right, this lowly one will naturally pull himself together.”
After saying that, he turned around and touched a handful of meteoric iron. He said excitedly,"Milord, with such a large amount of Meteoric Metal, it will be much easier to forge a divine weapon. I hope Milord will hand this task to me. I will not disappoint Milord.”
Dongfang Jian smiled and said," I originally intended to hand this mission over to Master Pu Yuan. I hope that Master Pu Yuan will work harder. If you have any needs, feel free to ask. I will do my best to cooperate."”When Pu Yuan heard Dongfang Jian's words, he was moved to tears. He immediately knelt down before Dongfang Jian and kowtowed thrice.
Dongfang Jian was shocked and quickly helped him up." Master Pu Yuan, why are you doing this?”Blood seeped out of Pu Yuan's forehead, but he didn't cry out in pain. He said excitedly,"Milord, being able to forge a divine weapon is the dream of every blacksmith. Now, this lowly one is grateful to Milord for not abandoning you and entrusting such an important task to this lowly one. This lowly one has nothing to repay you with, but can only swear to complete the important task that Milord entrusted to me with my life without any complaints.”
"Looks like blacksmiths have their own dreams!”"Since that's the case, everything will depend on Master Pu Yuan." Dongfang Jian sighed and smiled.”After saying that, Dongfang Jian said to the generals behind him,""Gentlemen, since I have such refined iron, I will naturally prepare suitable divine weapons for you. If you have any weapons that you like, you can draw the blueprints and forge them for Master Pu Yuan. Of course, offering is excluded.”
Hearing Dongfang Jian's words, all the generals were overjoyed and thanked him profusely. Lu Bu did not say anything. After all, he already had a weapon that he could use. After discussing some details, Dongfang Jian ordered a few people to stay behind to guard the place before returning to the city with the other generals.
