Martial: I Started The Technological Revolution In Ancient Times

It was a little awkward.    

"The sword just now was customized by a girl from the Hong family?"    

"Yeah, it's this one. I spent a lot of effort and effort to forge it, and I spent more than half a month forging it. But now, I can't hand it over. What should I do?!"    

Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and said, "This was completely forged by you? Why does it not look like it? "    

"Ah?"    

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and stopped crying.    

He was angered.    

"Why didn't I do it?"    

"Hehe, at least this steel isn't something that you guys can make with your quality. I think it looks more like it's made from the material of the Xiao family's blade."    

"This..."    

The shop owner's expression turned serious.    

"Young Master, you can even tell this?"    

Xiao Yun nodded and said, "It's not hard to tell."    

"Young master is right. We can't make this steel. The young lady of the Hong family got a saber. But she likes swords more, that's why she brought it to me. Let's not talk about knocking on the door. Just the grinding alone took a long time."    

Xiao Yun said," The idea is not bad, but other than the idea, everything else is wrong. "    

" Ah? No way!"    

The shop owner was a little impressed by Xiao Yun, but after hearing what Xiao Yun said, he became angry again.    

"Young Master, you can't say that, no matter if it's grinding or hammering. Every single one of them is a skill that has been passed down for a long time. It wasn't easy for me to learn them. I spent so much time on them. They are all real skills! They are not like you, Young Master. Once you touch the skin of your mouth, you can determine whether it is good or bad."    

Xiao Yun smiled.    

He picked up the broken sword again and knocked on it.    

"Did you hear that? The crisp sound of the Xiao family's blade was gone, right?"    

"It's just a sound, it doesn't affect its usage."    

"It doesn't affect its use? That's a huge mistake, just looking at this sword, you've made more than one mistake"    

"Young master, you are wrong."    

"Hehe, you don't believe me?"    

"Of course not!"    

The innkeeper stood up from the ground and raised his head in disbelief.    

Anyway, he was going to be in bad luck. Now that people said that his skills were not good enough, how could he do it?    

If a donkey did not fall, he would not be able to accept this humiliation for free!    

Old Man Ma was a little unhappy and glared at the shop owner.    

The shop owner felt guilty, but he still raised his head. Obviously, he did not want to admit defeat.    

Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Fine, the first mistake you made when making this sword. The Xiao family's blade was originally very tough. If you want to make it deformed, the shopkeeper said. You can't do it. Also, if you want to make it, you have to do it. It might break before it could change its shape, so you thought of burning it red. Right?"    

" Isn't that normal? "    

"It's normal for it to be normal, but do you know what you need to pay attention to when refining a steel like the Xiao family's ceremonial blade? How much is the temperature controlled, and how long will it take to burn? How to quench it and how to return it to its original state? Do you have any idea? "    

" This... "    

The shopkeeper's expression changed drastically.    

Xiao Yun continued, "Besides grinding, during the process of grinding, did you get wet? If you grind the rough embryo into the shape of a sword, not to mention half a month... I'm afraid that even if you were given a few months, it would still be difficult. You must have thought of a way to use the thickest hard jade. Grind it with all your might, right?"    

"Of... of course, that's the case. Otherwise, what else can we do?"    

"It's still the same saying. The idea is still not bad, but we can't do it at all. After a long period of hard grinding, it was originally a return fire. The fine structure of this steel... After being burned, ground, and several times of destruction, it has already become dilapidated. Therefore, whether it was the sharpness, tenacity, or elasticity, everything had been destroyed. Did you not notice when you were grinding, no matter how hard you grind... Is it not as sharp as the original Xiao family's blade?"    

"This..."    

The shopkeeper's face alternated between red and red.    

He opened his mouth wide.    

He was so shocked that he couldn't speak.    

Old Man Ma, who was standing next to him, also had a surprised look on his face. He said, "Young Master, how did you know that you came here? He saw that Young Master was clearly a scholar, but he actually knew about the matter of craftsmen so well. "    

Xiao Yun said with a smile, "In your point of view, scholars are useless? In fact, there are three types of scholars in this world. One is pure knowledge. This kind of knowledge... There is a meaning to its existence. The other was the path of governance for officials, and it was also the direction in which scholars worked hard. And the last was to understand all kinds of knowledge in the world. And to develop all kinds of new things."    

He reached out and knocked on the table a few times.    

"Just like your blacksmith shop, after a long time, you can always come up with some new ideas. However, you only know how to do these things. You don't know why. You can only teach your disciples everything according to the method or procedure. It can be considered to have been passed down. "    

"Take this sword for example. Only you guys can modify the blade into a sword. As for how exactly you did it, and what principles are involved in it, you don't know. You can only pass on the entire process."    

"But the third type of scholar is different. They need to find the reason behind this. What exactly is the reason for this? Is it possible to improve? Is it possible to replicate it? Is it possible to use it in other industries? That's all in its consideration."    

Old Man Ma's face was full of admiration as he asked, "That young master must belong to the third type of scholar, right?"    

" Me? "    

Xiao Yun laughed and said, "Me, all three types."    

"This..."    

Old Man Ma was stunned on the spot. After a while, he finally laughed.    

The corner of the shopkeeper's eyes kept twitching.    

In the end, he actually threw out a sentence, "Just saying and not practicing fake moves! Who doesn't know how to talk on paper?"    

"Hmm? !"    

Old Man Ma wanted to turn around and kick him.    

It was already very difficult for him to understand this thing.    

Could it be that he wanted Xiao Yun, a noble young master, to go to the furnace and forge iron?    

Ridiculous!    

But in the next moment, Xiao Yun really walked to the side of the furnace.    

He casually threw a piece of iron into the furnace.    

Then he turned his head and said, "What are you all standing there blankly for? Fill it up, pull the bellows, pull as much strength as you can, and put as much firewood as you can. Don't be stingy."    

The shopkeeper hurriedly turned his head to look at Old Man Ma.    

Old Man Ma was also speechless.    

He thought to himself that this young master probably couldn't be provoked. He would try to prove himself just because someone said it.    

Helpless, he could only nod and say, "All of you, cooperate with me with all your might. As long as young master is happy, everything else will be fine."    

The shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "But tomorrow morning, the young miss of Hong family will come. How can I have the time to play around with him?"    

"Shut up! Why are your words so unpleasant to hear?"    

Old Man Ma glared at him.    

Then he sighed and said, "Don't worry. If it's the Xiao family's ceremonial blade, I have one too. When the time comes, hand this blade over to the young lady of the Hong family. Just say that your skill is limited. No matter what, I can't make it. Just give the blade to her. Although it would be inevitable to scold her, but he had to accept it... It's better than losing your family, isn't it? "    

"Really? "    

The innkeeper was extremely excited.    

Now, it seemed like this was really the only way to solve the problem.    

The most important thing was that the Xiao family's ceremonial blade was too expensive. Old Man Ma was willing to give it to him as a gift.    

So, cooperating with Xiao Yun to cause trouble...    

Not to mention proactive, he wanted Xiao Yun to continue causing trouble. He could do whatever he wanted!    

Together with the shop owner and the shop assistant, they started to act as Xiao Yun's assistants.    

No matter what Xiao Yun told them, although they were unwilling to do it, they would do it.    

With the current mood of the shop assistant, even if he was asked to throw his shop assistant into the furnace to worship the knife, he would still be willing to do so. He would not even blink.    

However, as Xiao Yun held a piece of fine iron between the furnace and the anvil, the sound of hammering kept on ringing, and their moods also changed.    

At first, they felt wronged.    

Then, they looked down on him.    

Then, he accepted his fate.    

And then there was shock.    

He even became frightened.    

When Xiao Yun knocked a piece of iron into a straight iron bar, they immediately cried out in shock.    

They looked at Xiao Yun with admiration.    

"My God, what kind of technique is this? "    

"How can he use a hammer to hammer out such a smooth iron bar? And this color... is different from the usual ones he used to hammer, why is it so bright? It's so white? "    

White light proved its purity.    

However, even though this was shocking, it was still within the scope of their acceptance.    

But in the next moment, when Xiao Yun crushed the charcoal and evenly sprinkled it onto the red-hot iron rod, they were unable to maintain their composure any longer.    

"What... What is this for?!"
