Chapter 308 Chapter 310 Arrival at Xitang
Rong Xianxian didn’t know what was going on with Lan Shuang, but judging from her mental state, she was on the verge of a complete collapse!
Even if someone could see the problem with Lan Shuang at this moment and wanted to erase or hide the inserted memory for her, that person would not only have to have a mental power far beyond Rong Xianxian's, but also depend on whether Lan Shuang's sea of consciousness could withstand the impact of external mental power.
After Rong Xianxian reunited with Cui Lie and Wang Lin, they returned to their camp.
"Sister Rong, come and see, Brother Ming is about to start the furnace!" Jiang Jie shouted excitedly when he saw Rong Xianxian and the others coming back.
"Are you going to refine weapons? Can you make a big sword? I have a model here!" Wang Lin put the bucket down with a clang and ran over like a gust of wind.
On the upper layer of the grill were grilled skewers of meat and a few strings of golden and plump mushrooms. On the stove next to it was a pot of steaming white porridge. Ming Tianlei took out his blacksmith's furnace and set it up, preparing to start the fire.
"Brother Ming hasn't lit the fire yet. There's no point in you getting anxious. Let's eat first." Xia Kai said to everyone.
After dinner, except for the personnel on duty who were responsible for patrolling and monitoring the safety of the camp, everyone else gathered around the blacksmith's furnace to watch Ming Tianlei forge weapons.
The charcoal fire in the stove has burned red and hot, and the burning flames illuminate the area brightly and brilliantly.
As the saying goes, experts see the details while laymen see the excitement. Rong Xianxian and the others watched Ming Tianlei throw several materials into the blacksmith's furnace, including the iron armor on the monster's body and the sharp light red horns on the monster's head. The vigorous fire instantly devoured all the materials.
Ming Tianlei stood aside with a long pair of tongs in his hand, turning the materials in the fire from time to time. The burning flames made a whirring sound, and when Ming Tianlei turned the materials, the sound made by the tongs when they touched the armor was slowly changing. When the materials were calcined to a temperature that satisfied Ming Tianlei, he deftly used the tongs to pick up the black and red materials burned in the fire, placed them on the iron heels beside him, and quickly picked up the hammer beside him and started hitting them. Sparks flew amid the clanging sounds, and the originally hard armor kept changing shape under his hands like dough. In this way, he repeatedly fired and forged all the materials. The originally independent pieces of hard armor and the long sharp horn underwent magical changes under his hands in the fire. The materials in the furnace gradually merged together and became a large round cake. If you look closely, the originally sharp long horn is always embedded in the center of the cake, surrounded and entangled by other materials.
Jiang Jie helped to pull the bellows and occasionally helped to pound the materials. Xiao Luo watched from the side and was eager to try.
Rong Xianxian just looked at it for a while and then went to study the talisman technique. Ming Tianlei should be using the simplest mundane smelting technology now. The techniques in the book "Introduction to Weapon Refining Techniques" that she had given him before have not been involved. After repeated hammering, calcining and some other complicated processes, the pieces of iron armor and the long horn of a monster finally turned into a scimitar about half a meter long with an upturned tip. The entire blade is jet black, and the blade is glowing with a light red.
Ming Tianlei also used scrap iron to make an exquisite scabbard with carved patterns for the knife.
This scimitar is light in weight, has a sharp blade, and has strong defense-breaking ability. It is a good weapon.
When Ming Tianlei handed the weapon to Rong Xianxian, he said solemnly, "Doctor Rong, I am studying the book you gave me before. There are some parts that I haven't studied thoroughly yet. I am afraid of wasting materials, so I can't use it in practice for the time being. Once I study the book thoroughly, I will definitely be able to create a better weapon."
"Brother Ming, this weapon was made by you, so you should keep it for yourself. When we get to the capital, we can open a shop together." Rong Xianxian said with a smile.
"Doctor Rong, if it weren't for you, my leg would be crippled, I would not be able to get rid of those people's control, and I would not be able to avenge myself. God let me meet you when I was most desperate. This is God's will. I am a technical person, not good at other aspects, so don't ever mention the matter of opening a shop together in the future. You open the shop, just remember to pay me." Ming Tianlei said seriously.
Ming Tianlei is not stupid. When he was in the Taijing'an area, before he met the Sky Eagle Team, he made his own weapons and took them to the market to trade. However, since it was a mobile stall and he was not good at business, he could not sell his weapons at a high price and could only make a living. Even so, he was targeted by the Sky Eagle Team and they tried every means to plot against him. If he had not met Rong Xianxian later, he would probably be disabled now and still be a money-making tool for that group of people and could not escape.
This is the case in the Taijing Security Zone, and the situation in the capital may not be much better. If you don't have the background and strength to run a lucrative industry like selling weapons, you will only attract jealousy and calculations, and you won't be able to do it for long.
Rong Xianxian saw Ming Tianlei's firm attitude and sincere tone, and knew that this was indeed his true thoughts, so she took the scimitar and said, "Okay, Brother Ming, since you said so, I wish us a happy cooperation!"
With Ming Tianlei here and so many materials taken from monsters stored in Rong Xianxian's space, it would be a good idea to open a weapons store after arriving in the capital.
In addition to the weapons shop, Rong Xianxian also plans to open a medicine shop and a talisman shop. No matter whether it is weapons, medicine, or talismans, they are all things that can greatly improve combat effectiveness and are definitely hard currency. Rong Xianxian plans to use these things to complete the original capital accumulation and cultivate personal power, so as to obtain more resources for future practice and create more favorable conditions for her children.
On this day, Rong Xianxian and his companions entered the Xitang safe zone with the mercenary convoy.
Xitang Province is a heavy industrial city and a major energy province. It has many large and small coal mines and one of the largest oil fields in the country.
Needless to say, the oil field was definitely under official control and was under strict security. The most important thing was the crude oil, which she had no use for. Along the way, the gasoline in the bag had been consumed and replenished. Now there was probably more than half left, which was enough to use in the capital.
There are some small coal mines that you can explore. Coal can be used for heating in winter or as fuel for starting the furnace tomorrow.
We have just arrived in Xitang. The living conditions of the people in the Xitang Safety Zone are much worse than those in the Taijing Safety Zone. As a major energy province, the Xitang Safety Zone has a developed economy, a sound industrial system, and a large population density, but the arable land area is very limited and the grain output is insufficient. This also makes the food crisis in the Xitang Safety Zone more obvious.
