1207 Forging a blade (1)

After sizing up his surroundings, Tang Zhen extended his hand and beckoned. Soon after, a fist-sized brown rock landed in front of him.

Tang Zhen extended his hand and broke off a piece of rock. After forcefully rubbing it into powder, he gently shook his head.

Tang Zhen had already discovered these scattered iron ores and he believed that the abandoned people were also very familiar with them.

However, as they did not know about smelting techniques and lacked the inheritance of knowledge, the abandoned people did not even know that these ores could be extracted into wrought iron, which was definitely more than enough to be used to forge weapons!

The main reason why war would cause civilization to regress was because of the destruction of productivity and the loss of a large amount of knowledge!

what's so good about this broken stone? can it be turned into food? "

Morris saw Tang Zhen looking at the iron ore in his hand and felt very strange, but he didn't open his mouth to ask.

In these two days, Tang Zhen had asked them many questions and seemed to be very interested in many things.

What puzzled Morris was that there were many questions that were common knowledge that every abandoned person knew, but Tang Zhen seemed to not know and listened with great interest.

God knows where he used to live. How could he not know about these things?

Although Morris 'heart was filled with doubts, he could only watch his mouth because of Uncle Jim's warning to avoid Tang Zhen's dissatisfaction.

"Morris, do you want a metal weapon of your own?"

Tang Zhen tossed the iron ore in his hand a few times before turning his head and asking Morris with a smile.

"I want it, of course I want it!"

After hearing this, Morris "eyes immediately flickered. At the same time, he looked at Tang Zhen with an extremely expectant gaze, as if he was filled with desire.

Living in such a world, every boy yearned to have a metal weapon of their own. Unfortunately, for most people, this was just a wish that was destined to never be realized.

Unless they had enough courage and luck, they would not be able to obtain the materials from the monster City and create a weapon of their own!

When Uncle Jim and the others heard this, they kept looking at Tang Zhen while they were working. The abandoned people already had some understanding of his mysteriousness and strength over the past two days. They knew that he had a special ability that exceeded the imagination of ordinary people.

Since he had said that he would give Morris 'weapon as a gift, he would definitely be able to do it!

Their hearts were filled with envy towards Morris. At the same time, they were also filled with curiosity. Everyone was waiting for the moment Tang Zhen took out the weapon.

It was just that Tang Zhen did not conjure a weapon out of thin air as they had imagined. Instead, he handed the ore in his hand to Morris.

I need stones like this. If you want your weapon to be longer than Jim's, then try to collect as many as you can!

Morris took a glance at the iron ore and immediately jumped up from the ground. He ran to the entrance of the cave and started to search.

In the huge pit formed by the explosion, there were a lot of scattered iron ore. Morris had seen a lot of them before, but it was a pity that they were basically scattered outside. Before this, no one had paid much attention to them. At most, they were used as throwing weapons.

As for the iron ore in the cave, it was just that the abandoned people had accidentally brought it in and then left it in the corner.

Morris rummaged for a while before he returned with a pile of fine ores of different sizes in his clothes. He carefully placed them in front of Tang Zhen.

"Sir, this is the only thing in the cave. I've brought everything!"

At this point, Morris still showed a regretful expression and said in a somewhat unwilling tone, " "There are a lot of such stones outside. If you had told me earlier, I could have definitely found a lot of them!"

this is enough. You can just stand aside and wait.

Tang Zhen's voice had just sounded when he casually picked up a piece of iron ore and casually crushed it into powder.

Upon seeing this, everyone gasped. They naturally knew how hard these stones were and how difficult it was to crush them.

Uncle Jim's heart was beating wildly. After witnessing Tang Zhen's terrifying strength, he was even secretly rejoicing. Back then, he did not injure Tang Zhen with his knife in a moment of desperation. Otherwise, he might have already turned into a corpse.

Ignoring everyone's shocked eyes, Tang Zhen crushed the iron ore in front of him one by one. Soon, a large pile of powder appeared in front of him.

Using his spiritual force to lift up the powder, Tang Zhen snapped his fingers and a ball of flame appeared out of thin air in the cave.

The ball of fire did not seem to emit any heat, but for some reason, Uncle Jim and the rest felt that it was extremely dangerous, as if it could easily burn people into ashes.

Under Tang Zhen's control, this cluster of flame slowly approached the ore powder. After which, it completely wrapped around it.

Then, as if they were watching fireworks, sparks kept flying out, and the powder floating in the air quickly turned into an orange-red liquid.

Under normal circumstances, the extraction of iron ore would have been completed. However, for Tang Zhen, this was only the beginning.

The residue of the smelting fell to the ground, and the flames wrapped up the metal solution again, then continued to refine.

What Tang Zhen wanted was not high-purity iron because its texture was too soft. It was not suitable to be used to make weapons.

After the metal solution changed its color again, Tang Zhen took out a crystal from his storage space. He reached out and crushed it before throwing it into the flame.

&Nbsp; as the powder seeped into the liquid, the liquid's color rapidly changed. There was even a faint light shining from within, making it look like a transparent pearl.

Tang Zhen ignored the metallic liquid suspended in the air. He extended his hand and wiped it on the rock on the ground. Immediately, the ground became as smooth as a tile.

The abandoned people who were already dumbstruck felt their hearts convulse when they saw this. They subconsciously touched the Rocky ground beneath them.

In a cloud of dust, a simple mold appeared on the ground. It had the shape of a battle sword, and it looked very ordinary.

He controlled the metal solution to fall into it. After it was completely filled, a battle sword was completely formed!

Due to the limited conditions, Tang Zhen had chosen the forging method. Moreover, after he had refined it with his special technique, the elements within the battle blade had been arranged in an extremely even manner. It wasn't inferior to the forging blade in the slightest.

Even compared to powdered steel, it was not much worse!

Moreover, Tang Zhen had added special materials from the loucheng world into the metal solution, which greatly increased the toughness and elasticity of the battle blade. The sharpness of the blade had also been greatly improved.

No matter how one looked at it, this was a treasured saber that could cut through iron like mud!

Morris had been watching Tang Zhen's forging process without blinking. When the battle blade gradually cooled down in the mold, he couldn't wait to immediately rush forward and admire it.

Uncle Jim and the others also recovered from the shock. Their eyes were also filled with anticipation, wanting to see how sharp the weapon was.

Tang Zhen didn't let everyone wait for too long. As a ball of cold air wrapped around the battle saber, the temperature of the metal's surface rapidly dropped. He then extended his hand and took the battle saber out of the mold.

To be honest, the appearance of this saber was really not flattering. If it was not for its obvious shape, outsiders would probably think that it was an iron plate!

The Battle Sword was slender and the handle and the blade were one. Tang Zhen asked Uncle Jim for a piece of cloth and simply wrapped the handle before casually throwing it to Morris.

"From now on, it belongs to you!"

Morris, who had received the Battle Sword, was extremely excited. He did not care about its ugly appearance at all, and his expression was one of adoration.

In fact, the blade that Uncle Jim regarded as his life was even uglier. It was merely polished from a piece of iron. On the other hand, the blade that Tang Zhen forged out of boredom was much stronger in terms of both quality and shape.

The other abandoned people's greedy and envious expressions also illustrated this point!

Just as everyone gathered together and touched the saber as if it were a treasure, a scream suddenly came from outside the cave that was blocked by rocks.

When Uncle Jim and the others heard the sound, their expressions changed. They looked at the entrance of the cave in unison, looking very nervous.
