Ruins of the past

Regarding the power issue of the blood pool, Chu Qiguang planned to go over and take a look with his own eyes later.

Now he continues to lead tours of the workshop.

Arriving in front of the large pool full of energy and blood, Zhu Fashan, the head craftsman, began to introduce the current process of making bone tools.

Yaoyin Village has been creating bone tools for nearly a year and a half, and has accumulated a lot of experience in this regard.

Especially after Chu Qiguang’s guidance on standardization and mass production.

As the saying goes, if something is good at the top, it will be very bad at the bottom.

The craftsmen put a lot of thought into this aspect. By making molds and measuring tools in a unified manner, infusing Qi and blood in batches, etc., the apprentices can operate and ensure the unified standards of the bone tools.

Chu Qiguang looked at the way the bone tools were being made bit by bit after the blood washed into the mold, and thought to himself: 'This method... is completely different from the original iron and steel making. ’

'As long as there are a sufficient number of operators and blood pool power, this mode can continue to expand. ’

‘As for operators, they must at least be literate and numeral, which requires continuous training in schools and more students and teachers. ’

'In terms of the power of the blood pool... you have to feed the blood pool more, and the restriction comes from food and meat...'

'If this model continues to evolve, it will also require R\u0026D personnel such as craftsmen and warriors...'

For a while, Chu Qiguang couldn't compare this model with the original forging, steelmaking, etc., which one was better.

But at present, it seems that this model may be more suitable for this world with martial arts and Taoism.

‘We also need to consider monetization... After all, Yaoyin Village has invested a lot of money, but there has been no return. This will not work in the long run. ’

In Chu Qiguang's original consideration, using blood power to weave could be a way to monetize his work.

But today it seems that this kind of bone tool may also be sold.

‘If the monetization model can be perfected, Yaoyin Village can expand rapidly and truly become a big help to me. ’

Chu Qiguang not only needs a lot of training resources for himself, but also his subordinates Lei Yushu, Qiao Zhi, Chen Gang, etc. all need a lot of resources to develop.

Only by having more strong men and stronger force can we protect the development of the forces in our hands.

The larger the power develops and the more resources it occupies, the more powerful people can be cultivated.

Just like the current Lei Yushu, Qiao Zhi, Hao Xiangtong... if they have more training qualifications, they can improve faster and hope to reach the realm of Taoism as soon as possible.

At that time, Chu Qiguang didn't have to run around as busy as he does now.

Thinking of cashing in, Chu Qiguang picked up a bone hoe and asked Liu Yao, who was still surprised, "What do you think of this hoe?"

As the inspector of northern martial arts and a descendant of the Seven Kills School, Liu Yao has been immersed in swordsmanship for many years, so he naturally has a lot of knowledge about various weapons and forging.

He took the hoe, stroked it and struck it a few times.

Then the muscles of his arm shook, and like a skilled old farmer, he dropped his hoe to the ground.

With a soft bang, a small hole had been dug in the ground.

Liu Yao looked at the hoe that was still intact and said with surprise: "Is this hoe made of bone? Its hardness and toughness are far superior to ordinary iron tools."

"If weapons can be made, I'm afraid the quality will not be much worse than the master craftsmen of Yuyang Iron Factory."

During Liu Yao's introduction, Chu Qiguang became more aware of the current situation of various weapons, armor, and iron forging in the Han Dynasty.

Because of the increasingly serious demon dyeing and the monopoly of the aristocratic family, it is very difficult for ordinary people to obtain all kinds of knowledge.

In recent years, the human race has not made much progress in iron smelting, forging and other technologies. No matter how powerful the iron tools are, they are often not as good as the fangs and claws of the top monster beasts.

And if it can be made with certain parts of the body of a Taoist demon, it will be the best of the best.

It is said that Taizu received treasures from immortals and weapons and armor made of dragon bones and teeth, making him almost invincible.

He was able to fight his way into the midst of thousands of troops and still remain unscathed, creating brilliant achievements one after another.

Such weapons and armors all have names and surnames, and they belong to legends in history.

The weapons and armor made from the body materials of uninitiated demons, although slightly inferior, are mostly better than iron weapons.

Many craftsmen and warriors call this weapon a magical weapon.

For example, the knife that Yisiman presented to Chu Qiguang was made from the teeth of the monster Qiongqi.

As for ironware, it all depends on the level of craftsmanship. Some people are masters, some are very good, and some can only make it for farming...

Listening to Liu Yao's analysis, Chu Qiguang summed it up directly: "Well, let's give a simple classification, that is, legend, magic weapon, master, excellent, ordinary, and inferior."

He looked at Zhu Fashan, the person in charge of the workshop, and said, "This is how our village will be graded from now on."

Liu Yao on the side always felt a little weird when he heard the classification, but he couldn't say anything to refute it.

Chu Qiguang continued: "Then this bone tool of ours is almost at an excellent level?"

Liu Yao said: "Absolutely. Weapons of this excellent...excellent level are no longer common in the military."

The operating conditions of the imperial court's ironworks and weapons factories completely followed the policy. Smelting was started when needed and stopped when not needed.

Craftsmen at all levels are also experiencing serious turnover due to poor treatment and lax control.

It has been gradually declining for more than two hundred years.

On the contrary, private iron factories, ironworks factories, and blacksmith shops have always been prosperous because of their pursuit of profits, and there are various wealthy families behind them.

Nowadays, the various armies of the imperial court need to be equipped with weapons, and their own weapons bureau is often unable to satisfy them, and they have to find private iron factories to purchase them.

Chu Qiguang nodded secretly after hearing this: "So our bone weapon should be marketable?"

Liu Yao thought for a while and said: "If we only judge it by quality, it will definitely sell well, but I'm afraid it will cause conflicts with other aristocratic families."

Chu Qiguang nodded to express his understanding, and then took everyone to visit the blood pool again.

The blood pool at this moment occupies a third larger area than the last time he saw it, almost as big as half a football field.

And the qi and blood in it are getting deeper and deeper, and I don't know how deep it goes underground.

‘This thing was originally created by the powerful Taoists of the Immortal Dao in the past. If we want to study it in detail... I am afraid that at least it must be a Taoist strongman to study it thoroughly. ’

Chu Qiguang observed the operation of the blood pool and sighed in his heart: 'I am afraid that ordinary craftsmen can only study how to apply it. ’

So Chu Qiguang ordered: "After increasing the amount of food, feed the blood pool every day, and find a way to make the blood pool's output higher. You must also study more ways to use the blood pool, and give me a detailed plan... …

Next, Chu Qiguang and his party visited the labor camp, farmland, granary and other places.

After giving a series of new instructions on the construction of Yaoyin Village, Chu Qiguang returned to his yard in Yaoyin Village and began to ask Wang Cailiang about the current situation in Lingzhou.
