Material Empire

Fifty or cost price?

This time, the shock in Man Gu, Ning Mo and others' hearts was completely reversed.

Ning Mo and the others were all overjoyed, secretly admiring Qin Hai for being ruthless and evil, and at the same time calculating how much profit they could make if this dagger was sold for fifty yuan, and whether they could buy a box of Zhonghua in a while. The smoke comes to open the foreign meat.

On the other hand, Man Gu had the urge to go berserk. He felt that the glorious image of Master Qin in his mind had completely collapsed, and he had become a profiteer who cannibalize people without spitting out his bones. When he couldn't put down the dagger, he offered a sky-high price to kill Ge Dongyan severely.

"Master Xiao Qin, isn't your price too unreasonable? You people in the city earn a lot of money, and your monthly salary is only five yuan. How dare you ask Dongyan for fifty for a knife?" Man Gu Can't help protesting.

Qin Hai pointed at Ge Dongyan with a smile, and said, "Uncle Ge, ask Platoon Leader Ge, if I drive 50 is not authentic or kind."

Ge Dongyan stretched out his hand to stop Mangu who was about to refute, and said, "Uncle Xi, you have wrongly blamed Master Qin, this knife sells for fifty yuan, which is indeed very kind."

"What? It's just such a little good steel, it's kind of you to sell it for fifty?" Mangu looked at his nephew in disbelief, and thought to himself, there must be something strange in this dagger, and his nephew was given by Qin Hai. Bewitched?

Ge Dongyan said: "Uncle Xi, you don't know the difference between this steel and steel. The steel used in our army's equipment, according to those engineers, is worth thousands of yuan per kilogram. I used to be knocked out by you. The broken dagger was made of a piece of scrap steel left over from repairing equipment. I paid 30 yuan to the repair shop for it. The steel used by Master Xiaoqin for this dagger is better than my original one. Including the workmanship, it’s really kind to sell it for 50 yuan.”

"Is this true?" Man Gu turned his head to look at Zhang Laosan and asked him for proof.

Zhang Laosan shook his head and said: "I really don't understand this, but I have been blacksmithing for so many years, and I have never seen such good steel. Some good steel used in the factory sells for several hundred yuan a catty. I have also heard that, since Plato Leader Ge said so, it must be reasonable."

"Of course, you don't know, we used all our assets in the factory to make this piece of steel." Ning Mo heard the clue, and hurried forward to brag for Qin Hai.

"Did you make this steel yourself?" Ge Dongyan grasped the core of Ning Mo's words and asked Qin Hai.

Qin Hai nodded and said, "Platoon Leader Ge is a knowledgeable person, do you think this kind of good steel is what our agricultural machinery factory can have?"

"Is it troublesome to make this kind of steel?" Ge Dongyan asked again.

Qin Haidao: "It's hard to say, because the raw materials are hard to find, and it took us a lot of effort to get all these raw materials. But, it's easy to say..."

"How?" Ge Dongyan asked.

Qin Haidao: "If someone can provide us with raw materials such as chromium, molybdenum, tungsten, and titanium, it is possible for us to develop formulas and processes to smelt better steel than this."

"Haha, Master Xiao Qin is really a smart person. By the way, everyone hasn't eaten yet. Master Zhang, is there any better restaurant next to you? I'll treat you masters to dinner." Ge Dongyan praised Qin Hai, and then said Invitations were sent out to everyone.

"Why did he say that Qin Hai is a smart person? What did Qin Hai say?" Yu Haitao asked Miao Lei in a low voice.

Miao Lei shook his head: "I didn't hear it either, Qin Hai seems to just say that if someone can provide raw materials, nothing else."

Ning Mo slapped each of them on the back, and said, "Guess what you guessed, you're right if you listen to Qin Hai. Let's go, the soldier said he would treat us all to dinner, so let's give him a good meal. "

Under the guidance of Zhang Laosan, everyone came to a small restaurant not too far from the blacksmith's shop. Ge Dongyan explained a few words to Mangu, and Mangu took Zhang Laosan to find the restaurant owner to arrange meals. Ning Mo and the others sat down around the table, and Ge Dongyan naturally sat next to Qin Hai.

"Master Xiaoqin, I understand what you mean. However, our troops have a lot of supplies, so we definitely can't provide them to you. What I meant just now was to ask if you could make two more similar daggers. I would like to ask for one each for our company commander and the combat staff officer above. You don’t know, these two people are addicted to knives. If they see that I have a good dagger and they don’t, they will definitely take it from me. I snatched it." Ge Dongyan told Qin Hai like an angry little daughter-in-law.

Qin Haidao: "Platoon Leader Ge, if it's just one or two daggers, we should go back and search for the surplus raw materials in the factory, and we should be able to make them. However, I still have some good things here. I don't know if Platoon Leader Ge is Not interested."

"What else is good?" Ge Dongyan's curiosity was aroused.

Qin Hai reached out to take another paper bag from Ning Mo, and put it in front of Ge Dongyan. Ge Dongyan opened the paper bag and took a look, he couldn't help but gasped, as if he had a toothache.

It turned out that what was wrapped in the paper bag was a strangely shaped shovel. This shovel has a collapsible handle that folds down to the size of a book, but unfolds to become a handy short shovel. Ge Dongyan was not surprised by this design. What made him feel distressed was that the steel used to make the shovel was clearly the same as the dagger in his hand.

"Such a good steel, you, you, you... you actually used it to make a shovel!" Ge Dongyan almost wanted to pick up the shovel and slap Qin Hai on the head a few times. What is violent waste, this is called violent waste! The steel used for this shovel can make several daggers, but just now Qin Hai pretended that he had to collect materials from the whole factory to make one or two daggers.

"Platoon Leader Ge, we are an agricultural machinery factory, and making shovels is our specialty." Qin Hai said to Ge Dongyan solemnly.

"But what do you want to do with such a strong shovel? Could it be used to chop wire?" Ge Dongyan asked.

Qin Hai nodded and said, "That's right, this shovel is indeed used to chop wire."

"What do you mean?" Ge Dongyan was a little puzzled.

Qin Hai stretched out his hand to Ning Mo again, and Ning Mo, like an omnipotent robot cat, quickly handed over a small handful of scrap wire. Qin Hai put the iron wire on the ground, then unfolded the handle of the shovel, picked up the shovel, and chopped off the scrap iron wire with all his might.

The hardness of iron wire cannot be compared with that of nails. A dagger made of this super alloy steel can cut through iron nails, so there is no suspense for this shovel to cut through iron wire. With a shovel down, a small handful of wire was cut neatly into two pieces, bursting all over the ground.

"But, what's the use of it?" Having seen the miracle of cutting iron nails with a dagger just now, and watching the performance of cutting iron wire with a shovel, Ge Dongyan could no longer be surprised. He still looked puzzled, watching Qin Hai asked.

"Don't worry, let me introduce the function of this shovel to you." Qin Hai said calmly.

"Platoon Leader Ge, look, one side of this shovel is a blade, which can be used to cut wood or vegetables. This side is a sawtooth, which can be used to saw wood or ordinary steel. The shovel's The face of the shovel can be turned over. This end is a pickaxe, which can be used to dig rocks. If it is turned forward, it can also be used as a bayonet. There is a jaw in this place, which can be used as a wire cutter. Ordinary barbed wire ...Did you understand? There is also a set of bayonet sockets here, which are suitable for hexagonal nuts of various specifications..." Qin Hai skillfully turned the mechanism on the shovel, and introduced it to Ge Dongyan.

"Hey, it's really good." Ge Dongyan sensed something. The functions Qin Hai said were really useful for a soldier. Shovels can be used to dig trenches, and wire cutters, as Qin Hai said, can be used to destroy barbed wire fences. Pickaxes, hacksaws, kitchen knives, wrenches, and bottle openers are absolutely necessary tools for a special soldier to live at home and kill people. ah. In contrast, the military dagger that he loved so much just now looked like a waste.

Things like daggers are used to meet the enemy hand-to-hand on the battlefield. But in a peaceful environment, such opportunities that require hand-to-hand combat almost never appear. Ge Dongyan's original dagger was more often used for digging, and he couldn't even use it during training, because if he wasn't careful, he might accidentally injure his comrades.

But a multifunctional engineering shovel is different. It can be used to cut vegetables, open cans, and repair equipment in the barracks. It can cut trees, dig holes, and deal with wild animals in the wild. A dagger is a short weapon, and an engineer shovel is a long weapon. If you encounter a wild boar or something in the mountains, the combat effectiveness of an engineer shovel is definitely much stronger than a dagger.

"You guys made this too?" Ge Dongyan snatched the engineering shovel from Qin Hai and played like Qin Hai, the look of disdain in his eyes had long since disappeared.

"Of course we made it." Qin Hai smiled, "How about it, are you still in the eyes of Platoon Leader Ge?"

"Great, great, this is simply tailor-made for us. Xiaoqin, I want to order this shovel, so you can make an offer, no matter how much it is, I will have no second thoughts!" Ge Dongyan promised excitedly road.
