Chapter 40 Black Iron Ore

Ye Sheng called Hu Jian’an and sent him this email.

After watching carefully, Hu Jian’an expressed a positive attitude towards the design drawings.

Ye Sheng simply sent the final payment of the design drawings to the engineers.

It is necessary to build an alliance fortress. There are two security levels for protection and no fortress.

A lot of building materials are needed to build a fort, and currently almost only wood can be used.

The alliance fortress project is relatively large, and the wood needed is naturally not a small number. It is obviously unrealistic to cut trees all by oneself.

Many players have limited abilities, and their best job is to cut trees, so the most indispensable thing in trading is wood.

Ye Sheng is not a construction professional, so he left it to Hu Jian’an to choose wood.

Ye Sheng transferred 10,000 copper coins to Hu Jian’an. Hu Jian’an was a sincere man, and Ye Sheng was more at ease with him.

“Of course, if there are other better materials, you can also buy them back. Tell me if you don’t have enough money.”

Hu Jianan continued: “Enough is enough. My brick kiln has started to burn bricks. I feel that this can be done. When I expand the scale of the brick kiln in the future, we will be able to use a lot of bricks.”

Next, Hu Jianan excitedly explained this to Ye Sheng, and Ye Sheng probably understood it too.

Hu Jian’an is going to build the rough frame of the outer city wall with wood first, and when the bricks are burned, fill it with masonry, which can greatly improve the robustness and defense of the city wall.

At the same time, Hu Jianan has successfully burned out cement in the past few days. Although the equipment is limited and the quality of the burned cement is not very good, it can be used and can also strengthen the stability of the building structure.

Ye Sheng couldn’t hide his excitement when he watched Hu Jianan talk about architecture, and couldn’t help but smile. Hu Jianan also really loves his own industry. Perhaps it is this love that gave him his talent as a ‘building madman’.

After taking a rest, Ye Sheng began his forging schedule this afternoon.

He is now quite familiar with the forging process of the Nepalese saber, and it only takes an hour to build a saber.

The score basically hovered around seventy points, but it may be difficult to reach eighty points due to the limitations of drawings and materials.

The trade between Ye Sheng and Du Xuyang is still going on these days, and the iron ore Ye Sheng sent by Du Xuyang every day has been refined into iron ingots.

Anyway, there are advanced metal refining equipment, and it is not difficult to extract iron ore.

In addition, Hu Jianan also used a little iron ore powder to burn bricks and cement.

“Ding jingle bells!”

Ye Sheng was struggling with iron strikes, and he had no forging equipment yesterday. There have been many iron ingots accumulated in the alliance. He just strikes iron frantically now.

[Congratulations to the player for triggering the alliance technology “Practice” in the forging, gaining power +1]

After one afternoon, the sky was no longer so bright.

This afternoon, Ye Sheng built a total of six sabers and was successfully promoted to the third-level forging division.

[Blacksmith, current level: lv3, experience value: 4300. Forging speed +15%, forging quality +15%】

After the upgrade, Ye Sheng seemed to suddenly have a deeper understanding of the forging process, and he also realized the forging technique.

“Perhaps we should find some more challenging equipment to forge…” Ye Sheng murmured.

The equipment drawings in the mall are as expensive as ever. Ye Sheng still went to the forum to find the kind of charging posts for players introducing the forging drawings.

“Tang Dao?”

Ye Sheng saw the introduction of this toll post, and there were several pictures of the post owner forging Tang Dao himself.

The post was well received, and Ye Sheng rest assured that Earthly Branches paid 500 coins to enter the post browsing.

Tang Dao is the general term for the four military swords of the Blue Star in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. The manufacturing drawings issued by the master here are Tang Heng Dao.

Looking at the drawings, Tang Hengdao’s blade is narrow and straight, with a small shank, with a long handle (which can be held with both hands).

The forging degree is more complicated and finer than the Nepal Army Knife, especially the cutting edge requires additional local quenching technology.

Ye Sheng watched for a while, understood and remembered the various steps in it.

Ye Sheng was still thinking about the forging of Tang Hengdao when he was eating dinner. After having dinner hastily, he picked two iron ingots with better color and began to ponder and practice forging.

Although most of the forging processes of Tang Hengdao were not much different from the previous ones, Ye Sheng still took a lot of time because of the additional steps.

When the first Tang Heng knife forged by Ye Sheng came out, two hours had passed quickly.

“It’s only fifty-two points?”

Ye Sheng was quite dissatisfied. He remembered that he scored more than 60 points when he forged a Nepalese saber for the first time.


Forging a Tang Heng knife provided Ye Sheng with 14 experience points. Compared with the Nepalese saber, the efficiency of brushing experience is not so high.

“It’s okay, take your time, the speed and rating will be improved.”

Ye Sheng’s fingers lightly stroked the back of Tang Hengdao’s knife, his eyes full of affection.

Tang Hengdao is nearly one meter long and has a long handle so that it can be held in both hands. Therefore, the attack range of the entire knife is far longer than that of a Nepalese saber.

Therefore, forging a Tang Heng knife requires two iron ingots.

Taking advantage of the iron strike, Ye Sheng continued to forge the next Tang Heng knife.

When the second Tang Hengdao reached the final stage, Du Xuyang happened to send a text message.

Ye Sheng kept working hard, shouting in his mouth:

“Hey, Beckham! Help me read the text message from Du Xuyang.”

“Okay, Master.” Beckham paused and continued:

“Yeshen, today I discovered a new type of ore, which is of better quality than the original iron ore!”

The second Tang Hengdao in Ye Sheng’s hand was completed, and the score still did not reach 60 points.

The news from Du Xuyang made Ye Sheng very concerned, he had long wanted to find better metal ore.

Du Xuyang sent a piece of black ore, and the system marked it as [Sparse Black Iron Ore].

Ye Sheng stunned. He remembered that the iron ore before was [enriched iron ore].

The black iron ore was very heavy in his hand, and Ye Sheng walked to the metal extraction device and threw the black iron ore in.

Ye Sheng moved his hands and manipulated the fire element to heat up the iron furnace.

Ye Sheng’s eighth-level flame magician has a strong fire control ability, and it didn’t take long for the black iron ore to be refined.

Ye Sheng wraps his palm with fire elements, and he is not afraid of getting hot after taking in the black iron ingots.

In the past, a complete iron ingot could be extracted from a single enriched iron ore, but the black iron ingot in hand was only about one-tenth of its size.

However, the texture of black iron is compact, and the hardness is far better than that of iron ingots, and it is definitely effective when used for forging equipment.

Ye Sheng asked Du Xuyang how many black iron ore is still there. Du Xuyang only said that he only has a few pieces now, but he has already traveled to a deeper area of ​​the waste soil, where some similar black iron ore can often be found in this area.

Ye Sheng discussed the price with Du Xuyang again. Du Xuyang still didn’t want copper coins, but asked Ye Sheng to give him more beast meat, preferably with a higher level.

And also specifically requested that no fruits and vegetables are needed.
