Chapter 837
This time in the dream space, Li Yi didn't stay long, only nineteen years.
But these nineteen years have been the most tiring time that Li Yi has ever entered the dream space.
Based on the material of the monument and the identity of the possessed person, Li Yi could naturally analyze that the inheritance in the dream space should be the metal smelting process.
In terms of metal smelting, the Xu family, as a family in charge of weapons production, has a full set of techniques and can conduct systematic learning.
Even Ou Yezi learned the smelting process from the Xu family in his early years.
It's just that most of the weapons made by the Xu family are made of bronze, which are mass-produced standard weapons. There are not many craftsmen who know how to make iron, and their technology is far behind Ou Yezi.
So, it only took Li Yi one year to master all the techniques related to bronze smelting.
During this period, he received news that the general who went to offer a sword to the King of Chu was eventually killed by the King of Chu on the grounds of sacrificing the sword.
Mo Xie also gave birth to a son, but his appearance was strange. It is said that the distance between the two eyebrows was one foot wide, so Mo Xie named him Mei Jian Chi.
Li Yi couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news.
Others didn’t know what a chromosomal abnormality was, but Li Yi knew as soon as he heard it that the child with the eyebrow ruler was obviously a child with Down syndrome.
The father died, and the mother raised the young son alone. The result was that he was still a child with Down syndrome. It was indeed miserable.
So, after learning about the situation, Xu Qing's father and grandfather couldn't bear it, and sent someone to send some money to help.
Li Yi offered to personally **** the money there to avoid accidents on the road.
Because he comes from a family of military commanders, Xu Qing likes to wield swords and guns since he was a child, and he has developed good martial arts skills.
Although he is not comparable to the generals who have actually been on the battlefield, there is still no problem in dealing with some bandits.
So Li Yi took two of his followers and set out on the road.
After walking for more than a month, Li Yi and his party arrived in Chu State and met his cousin Mo Xie and his nephew Mei Jianchi.
Compared to when they met a few years ago, Moye is more than ten years older and has a lot more white hair.
When she saw Li Yi, she just kept crying but didn't say a word.
The person who killed her husband was the king of a country. It is difficult to avenge a big revenge. She did not want to involve the Xu family.
And this is what Ou Yezi meant.
Ou Yezi is much older than Mo Xie.
The last time he saw him, Li Yi's impression was that he was a strong and powerful middle-aged man.
But when I saw him this time, his head was completely white, as if he had aged dozens of years.
Seeing his changes, Li Yi was very surprised.
Although Gan Jiang is his son-in-law, it won't make him sad like this, right?
At least my cousin is fine, isn't she?
However, Li Yi learned a secret from him after curious questioning.
It turns out that Ganjiang is not an abandoned baby he adopted, but the son he had with a Hu woman.
After learning the news, Li Yi suddenly realized.
No wonder Mo Xie gave birth to a child with Down syndrome. It turns out that the key to the problem is here.
There is a reason why Ou Yezi confessed this secret to Li Yi. He wanted to send the eyebrow ruler to the Xu family and ask Xu Qing to teach him martial arts.
He said that Gan Jiang told him about Li Yi's analysis before going to the royal capital, but he still didn't believe it at the time.
After Li Yi heard what he said, he knew that his main purpose was not just to protect Mo Xie and Mei Jian Chi, but to use the Xu family to cultivate Mei Jian Chi and avenge the generals.
But the object of revenge is the king of a country. This request is indeed a bit difficult, so he was embarrassed to explain it too clearly, but Li Yi still understood it.
Therefore, Li Yi did not agree or refuse, but explained the situation of Tang's son to Ou Yezi. After hearing this, Ou Yezi refused to believe it. He only thought it was Li Yi's excuse.
Li Yi said that he could wait three years and see if Mei Jian Chi was not a child with Tang syndrome, then he would persuade the Xu family to help him get revenge.
With his verbal promise, Ou Yezi felt relieved.
In the past year of study, Li Yi has a good understanding of the bronze casting process, but has not yet started with iron casting.
So he stayed for a few more days and planned to ask Ou Yezi for advice on how to cast iron tools.
The reason why Ou Yezi became a master swordsmith in later generations is because he was the first person to forge an iron sword.
Perhaps it was because General Qian died and there was no successor, or perhaps because he wanted to be with the Xu family, Ou Yezi knew all about Li Yi's questions and answered Li Yi's questions one by one.
However, during the process of answering, he discovered that there were some knowledge points that even he did not know in the questions raised by Li Yi.
For example, adding a certain proportion of carbon powder to iron can forge an iron material called steel.
Steel is several times harder than iron and is an excellent material for making cold weapons.
But he had never heard of such a thing, and there was no record of it in any ancient books.
But Li Yi told him that the so-called steel is artificial meteorite, which is an alloy.
Ou Yezi doesn’t know what steel is, but he knows what meteorite is.
The iron tools he forged were all made of meteorite.
But everyone knows that meteorite comes from outside the sky. Because it has been calcined by heavenly fire, its texture is several times stronger than bronze. If you want to cast magic weapons, you must use meteorite.
He has always believed that meteorite iron was something used by immortals and gods, but fell into the mortal world by chance and was used by mortals.
But he never thought that meteorite could also be made artificially?
For a while, he was full of curiosity about the alloy process Li Yi mentioned, and pulled Li Yi to ask for a long time.
After Li Yi’s explanation, he learned that bronze is a type of alloy.
He understood after saying this, because he knew very well the craftsmanship of making bronze vessels.
He knows exactly how much tin gold and lead stone are added to each portion of pure copper, and what the effect will be.
The so-called meteorite iron is actually pig iron containing some impurities. When it flew from the sky, it was calcined by the sky fire and burned together to become an alloy, which is why it is so strong.
This explanation instantly opened his mind and made him more determined to avenge Gan Jiang.
It turns out that there are no immortals and gods outside the sky, only stones and iron blocks flying around.
It turns out that the so-called king is not a person given by heaven, but a body of flesh and blood, and will die if he is killed.
This is the best.
If the eyebrow ruler has learned martial arts and is close to the king, and the two fight against each other, they may not be able to avenge the blood personally.
After realizing this, he worked harder to answer Li Yi's questions. He also personally took Li Yi to see the Sword Making House and showed him his exclusive secret technique.
Li Yi recognized it at just one glance. It turned out to be a blower, which is also a blower.
The so-called 鐐龠 is a skin bag made from the skin of a whole cow.
There will be an air inlet and an air outlet on the skin bag. By squeezing, a large amount of air can enter the furnace body, accelerate the combustion efficiency of the charcoal fire in the furnace, and increase the temperature.
Ou Yezi said that even meteorite iron calcined by sky fire will become as soft as dough by using this kind of blower.
And this is the secret of his forging the magic weapon.
