Chapter 5 The confused Queen Mother of Qin
As a qualified modern person, Ying Zheng is quite familiar with the method of blacksmithing.
Plus he doesn’t train like a 13-year-old body, so there’s no problem with wielding a sword.
The only thing that worries Ying Zheng is that he still doesn’t know if the Great Qin in this world has real qualified iron materials.
If you only have the most basic iron ore, it will be a bit troublesome to make a qualified sword. The predecessor Ying Zheng did not have many memories of blacksmithing in his mind
Fortunately, Ying Zheng didn't worry too much in the end.
It didn’t take long for the two guards to bring a complete set of forging equipment.
Including anvils, forging furnaces, hammers, sword-making platforms, sword-smelting pools, a lot of refined iron ore, a few pieces of extraterrestrial iron, and so on.
Even among these things, Ying Zheng found a blower! The wooden structure was not the backward wind bag he had imagined.
In addition, the two guards seemed to have guessed what Ying Zheng wanted to do, and even specially obtained the most standard top-secret proportion formula for casting meteorite iron swords from the palace official workshop.
But after seeing these things, Ying Zheng's worries became more serious.
As expected, the Great Qin I know is not exactly the same.
You have to hurry up.
"Your Highness, everything you want is here." The guard said respectfully.
Ying Zheng didn't say much, he took off his black gold black bird robe, rolled up his sleeves to reveal the strong muscles on his arms, and picked up the hammer to look at it a few times.
"Not bad."
Waving casually to the two guards.
"You have nothing to do next. Go out and guard. No one is allowed to reveal anything about this place without my order, and no one is allowed to come in."
The two guards hesitated. For a moment, he seemed to want to say something, but in the end he quickly accepted the order respectfully.
“Yes! Your Highness!”
After the two guards left, Ying Zheng squatted among the iron materials, selected a few pieces of the best materials, then took out the flint, skillfully lit a fire, pushed the blower, slowly melted the iron materials, and melted a few meteorites. Iron also joined in.
The fire was boiling, causing the temperature of the small side room to rise rapidly.
This is July, a warm spring-summer month. Sitting in the room, Ying Zheng was soon sweating profusely.
But Ying Zheng remained calm, casually wiping the sweat from his forehead, and kept pushing and pulling the blower with one hand to keep the fire stable.
After a lot of molten iron and meteorite melted, Ying Zheng took out the clamp, carefully took out the crucible, poured the melted molten iron into the mold, and quietly waited for the iron to solidify.
After the iron was half solid, Ying Zheng took out the red iron with a clamp and placed it on the iron felt. He picked up the hammer, raised it high, and then suddenly smashed it down!
‘Boom! ! ’
Mars flying!
A dull sound emanated from the half-melted iron block. The originally thick iron block suddenly became shorter!
‘Boom! ’
‘Boom! ’
‘Boom! ’
Ying Zheng picked up the hammer again and brought down three hammers in succession, repeatedly hitting the red iron!
Waiting until the dull sound of thumping turned into the clanging sound of gold and iron, Ying Zheng put the iron block back into the furnace and smelted it again.
A whole day Over time, Ying Zheng continued to smelt and beat this piece of iron.
The iron material that was originally half the size of a human head gradually turned into the size of two fists, and the impurities in it were constantly being knocked out
During this process, Ying Zheng did not let anyone help, and even more Didn't let anyone in. Even when eating, the guards would leave it outside the door.
For all of this, it was actually Ying Zheng's helpless choice.
In today's situation, there are few people around you who can be trusted. Even the confidants selected by the predecessor Ying Zheng are very likely to have problems.
For this first wonder, he had to ensure that it was perfect and foolproof.
It is precisely for this reason that Ying Zhengcai did not let anyone help, but chose to smelt iron and forge swords himself, in order to ensure the integrity of the wonders and ruins.
After a day of sword making, even though Ying Zheng's body had been trained for a long time, he couldn't help but feel sore all over his body, and he slept until dawn the next day before waking up.
Looking at the anvil and hammer in front of him, Ying Zheng sighed helplessly.
“The dignified eldest son of the Qin Dynasty, the next king of the Qin Dynasty, and the only emperor in the ages, is actually forging iron in his own side room”
"If this spreads out, how unbecoming it would be."
Gently rubbing his swollen and sore shoulders, thinking of the benefits of completing the construction of the first wonder ruins, Ying Zheng finally gritted his teeth and continued to stand up. He came to light the furnace and rejoined Dangdangdang's blacksmithing career.
While Ying Zheng was working day and night on the other side to make swords.
On the other side.
Carved balustrades, tall pavilions, and gorgeous golden nanmu form the main body of the hall. Green white jade paved the hall, and a total of thirty-six magnificent pillars stand in all directions, supporting the entire magnificent building. of canopy.
On each of these large pillars, a picture of the country is carved. These patterns are detailed and complicated, and each one is different. It is so ingenious that the characters and animals in it seem to come to life, and are dotted in the gaps. With green jade and agate, it is extremely luxurious.
This is the Palace of the Empress Dowager of the Qin Dynasty.
It is also the palace of Huayang, the current Empress Dowager of the Qin Dynasty.
As the pinnacle of power of the Mi clan and the Empress Dowager of the Qin Dynasty, Mrs. Huayang looks about fifty years old, with slightly gray temples. Although she is a bit old, she is not obviously old.
Her eyes are soft and her mouth is always smiling. Instead of being one of the most powerful people in the Qin Dynasty, she has a kind feeling. At a glance, she feels like she is seeing a rich mother-in-law. , which makes people feel close to each other.
But judging from the many maids who were kneeling on the ground around them and not daring to raise their heads, it was obvious that this was not the case.
Gently sipping a cup of morning tea, looking at Ying Zheng who had not come to say good morning for a long time. After looking at the time, Empress Dowager Huayang narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke with a smile.
"The sun is rising in the west today. What's wrong with Zheng'er? He even forgot about good morning."
As soon as these words came out, the surrounding maids immediately felt it. There was an unspeakable chill, and his head suddenly dropped even lower, not daring to make any move.
After a long time, Mrs. Huayang raised her head with a graceful posture.
"Does anyone know what happened to Zheng'er today? Why don't you come and have a good morning?"
As soon as Mrs. Huayang finished speaking, a figure walked towards the edge of the dark room behind her. , whispered a few words of respect beside Mrs. Huayang.
After hearing this, Mrs. Huayang, who was planning to drink tea, suddenly stopped drinking tea from the cup in her hand and frowned slightly.
“????”
“What did you say?”
"Zheng'er. Are you blacksmithing?"
