Chapter 2757: Promote national prestige
When everyone heard this, they were all stunned by Dongfang Wuxiang!
Didn't expect Donglin Kingdom's iron smelting technique to develop so fast?
Especially Emperor Hongyuan, he immediately understood the meaning of Dongfang Wuxiang giving him this sword.
Dongfang Wuxiang used this sword to promote the iron smelting and forging skills of the Donglin Kingdom. On the one hand, it demonstrates the military strength of the Donglin Kingdom, and on the other hand, it promotes the national prestige of the Donglin Kingdom.
He also wanted to use this sword to tell everyone how powerful he Donglin Kingdom is now, so as to deter Chu Kingdom.
Seeing this sword, Emperor Hongyuan felt very uncomfortable, and his face was ugly.
If he had known so long ago, he shouldn't have accepted this gift.
Chu Xuanchen saw such a sword, but he looked wary.
This look is a peerless sword, I didn't expect Donglin Kingdom's iron smelting skills to be so powerful.
The most important thing in a war is the soldier, and the weapon is the soldier's hands. If the soldier does not have a good weapon, how to win the war?
Most weapons are smelted from steel.
Good iron smelting can create more durable and sharp weapons; if iron smelting is underdeveloped, there is no good weapon.
Without good weapons, it is easy to lose in a war, and this country will be bullied at any time.
Now that the iron smelting technique of Donglin State has developed so rapidly, his iron smelting technique of Chu State still stayed more than ten years ago.
It seems that the Chu country must catch up and try hard to improve his iron smelting skills so as not to lag behind others.
At this moment, King Zhao couldn't help but stood up unconvinced: "Prince, you said your dragon bird sword is a magic weapon, a hundred times more powerful than ordinary swords? This king doesn't believe it."
Dongfang Wuxiang said contemptuously: "If the lord doesn't believe it, you can use your sword to compete with the dragon bird sword!"
Wang Zhao said coldly, "Okay, no problem."
Dongfang Wuxiang looked at the warrior and said, "Abu, you come and compete with him."
"Yes." Abu said, squeezing the sword firmly, and the sword suddenly shot out a cold light of Dawson.
Wang Zhao looked at Emperor Hongyuan, and said, "Father, please allow your sons and ministers to invite swords to the palace and compare swords with him."
According to regulations, the swords of civil and military officials cannot be brought into the hall.
Before entering the hall, they had to untie their swords before they could enter. Therefore, if King Zhao wanted to use the sword to compete with Abu, he had to consult Emperor Hongyuan first.
Emperor Hongyuan glanced at the Dragon Sparrow Sword coldly, nodded, "Quickly play."
"Thank you, Father." After Wang Zhao finished speaking, he asked Ah Zhen to go out of the temple to get his sword.
Yun Ruoyue looked at the dragon bird sword and found that the sword was magnificent, gorgeous and exquisite, and it looked really sharp.
But no matter how sharp it is, it is also an ancient sword, far inferior to modern military knives.
Suddenly, she remembered that she had a Swiss army knife in her medical space, which she had bought for outdoor adventures.
The Swiss Army Knife is made of alloy steel. It is strong and durable, very strong, and very sharp. It can see blood in the throat.
The ancient forging techniques and raw materials are not as good as modern ones, so Dongfang Wuxiang's dragon bird sword is not as strong as her little Swiss army knife.
Thinking of this, she changed the Swiss army knife in the space into her sleeve as soon as she moved her mind.
Then, she took out the saber and observed it secretly there.
"What are you looking at?" At this moment, Chu Xuanchen's low voice came from her ear.
As Chu Xuanchen said, he had seen the knife in Yun Ruoyue's hand, and he couldn't help but was taken aback, "Yue'er, what kind of knife are you?"
"The hand, the scalpel, I used to perform the operation." Yun Ruoyue didn't know how to explain the origin of this saber to Chu Xuanchen, and simply called the saber a scalpel.
Besides, you can't carry a big knife in this hall, but she can carry a scalpel, so it is better to pretend that this saber is a scalpel.
Chu Xuanchen looked at the knife suspiciously, "This scalpel seems to be different from the ones you used before. Was it your master gave you?"
Yun Ruoyue hurriedly nodded, "Yes. My master and her old man are amazing. She used to like to travel around. I don’t know where she got this knife. But what I can tell you is, don’t look at this knife. It's short, but it is stronger and sharper than Oriental Wuxiang's Dragon Sparrow Sword. If you use my scalpel to fight the Dragon Sparrow Sword, the Dragon Sparrow Sword is not the opponent of this scalpel at all."
"Really? Such a short sword is even more powerful than the Dragon Sparrow Sword? Show it to this king." Chu Xuanchen curiously asked.
Yun Ruoyue handed the saber to Chu Xuanchen from under the table, and whispered: "You are a person who understands the knife. If you don't believe me, you can try it!"
After Chu Xuanchen took the knife from under the table, he took the table leg and stroked it lightly, and the table leg was suddenly cut into a deep slit.
He didn't use any force at all, and the gap was so deep. If he used internal force, wouldn't this knife easily cut the leg of the table?
It can be seen that this scalpel is really powerful.
And based on his feel and perception, he found that the scalpel was very tough and strong at first glance.
If Chu can forge a large number of such swords, wouldn't they be invincible and omnipotent?
Thinking of this, he handed the saber to Yun Ruoyue and asked softly, “Yue’er, you have always been very knowledgeable. Do you know how this scalpel is made? If you know the method, this king can order people to forge it in large quantities. Only then will Chu's iron smelting skills improve."
Yun Ruoyue said: "I know, but it is more difficult to make a knife of this quality. It requires the most suitable ratio of various mineral raw materials, and the raw materials are not easy to find. The existing iron smelting technology is also consistent. No, but it’s easy to make a weapon stronger than the Dragon Sparrow Sword!"
"Really, it can be more powerful than the Dragon Sparrow Sword? As long as it is better than the Dragon Sparrow Sword." Chu Xuanchen was full of surprises.
Yun Ruoyue nodded, "Of course, the dragon bird sword is indeed a good sword in terms of the existing iron smelting technology, but it is much worse than the weapon I want to forge. But we need a lot of raw materials, such as iron ore and carbon. Only then can you forge weapons, so you have to send someone to find these raw materials."
She studied medicine and studied physical chemistry. She naturally knew how to combine chemical elements to make a strong and durable sword.
Chu Xuanchen said: "Okay, I will send someone to do this when I go back."
If you want the country to develop, you must not rest on your own feet. You must always be vigilant and work hard, otherwise you will fall behind.
If you fall behind, you will be beaten, the country will be plundered, and the people will not have a good life.
He knew this truth well, but Emperor Hongyuan didn't care about it. Emperor Hongyuan only knew about ease and enjoyment, and didn't give him much power.
He doesn't have enough power in his hands, he is restrained everywhere, and he can't do much for the people.
Therefore, he was helpless sometimes, so he could only watch the foundation created by the ancestors of the Chu family gradually decline and was at stake.
