Zhang Deming knew Chen Zairong's temperament of loving swords, so he pointed at him and joked: "You kid, when you talk about swords, you can't even sleep. Wait, I'll get the steel." He turned around and went into the inner room.

There is a stove, an anvil, and some messy debris in the room. The most conspicuous one is a weapon stand, full of weapons, swords, guns, swords and halberds. The most eye-catching one is two kinds of swords, one is a straight-edged double-handed sword, and the other is a long-handed double-edged sword, as heavy as Guan Gong's Qinglong Yanyue Sword, weighing less than a few dozen pounds.

If this straight blade sword turns into a curve, it will be no different from the Japanese sword. This is the "Tang Dynasty horizontal sword" of the Japanese sword, the founder of the Japanese sword. The long-handed sword is the famous Mo sword.

Although Chen Wanrong studied chemical engineering, he has been known about the name of Tang sword for a long time. He knew that Tang swords had a huge role in inheriting the past and opening up the future in the era of cold weapons. There are four types: yi swords, barrier swords, horizontal swords, and Mo swords. The most famous of these four types are the Heng swords and Mo swords, which are the standard equipment of the Tang army and have a large number of equipment for the army.

Later, the Japanese learned the technique of horizontal swords and changed the straight blade into a curve. This is the origin of the Japanese "Japanese sword". Although the Japanese repeatedly claimed that the Japanese swords were invented by the Japanese, they were actually improved from the horizontal swords of the Tang Dynasty. Anyone with historical knowledge knows this.

Mo Dao weighs about fifty pounds, with a handle of four feet long and double-edged. It is a standard equipment for heavy infantry in the Tang Dynasty, and it is equipped with a large number of Tang troops. A Mo Dao costs 50 pounds of high-quality steel. Among the hundreds of thousands of troops in the Tang Dynasty, there are many people equipped with such weapons, and it consumes a lot of steel. Therefore, some people call Mo Dao a "luxury equipment in the cold weapon era."

From this we can also see how strong the national strength of the Tang Dynasty was. At that time, the GDP of the Tang Dynasty accounted for 58% of the world, and was the center of the world and was well-deserved!

The martial arts style of the Tang Dynasty was very popular, and the folk practiced martial arts became popular, and weapons were very popular among the people. In the middle Tang Dynasty, the court ordered the people to prohibit private casting and private storage, and weapons gradually retreated from the people. It is now the second year of Jingyun, and it has not yet reached the middle Tang Dynasty, so weapons can be seen everywhere.

Although Chen Wanrong did not practice martial arts, he could not help but see these two famous Tang swords, and he couldn't help but be happy. He strode up and picked up a horizontal sword. He started with a heavy hand, weighing about ten pounds. He looked at the blade carefully, and his light was shining, sharp blade, and smooth shape. He was first-class. He couldn't help but praise him.

With such forging standards among the people, what level will the imperial weapon workshop be built? It must be better than this! A thought suddenly popped up in Chen Wanrong's mind: I have seen a lot of wisdom of the Tang people. Can I make the chemical equipment I need?

Thinking of this, Chen Wanrong was very excited.

Friends who are familiar with the history of science and technology know that ancient Chinese alchemy was much more advanced than the West, and it was very likely to develop into chemistry. When our ancestors made the first sulfuric acid in human history in the seventh century, Western alchemists did not know where sulfuric acid existed.

The reason why alchemy did not develop into chemistry is that ancient Chinese alchemists did not create suitable equipment. The equipment they used the most was wooden kettles. The famous alchemist Ge Hong was also unavoidable. He discovered some valuable chemical reactions with his simple wooden kettles.

One more important reason is that our ancestors did not create glass, and alchemists did not use glassware. Many precious chemical phenomena slipped away from their noses. They missed one opportunity after another to develop alchemy into chemistry, which made future generations sigh.

In "Journey to the West", Sun Wukong hid in the Bagua furnace. Taishang Laojun did not notice that he was in trouble, but instead he practiced the igneous eyes. We can assume that if Taishang Laojun used the furnace that could observe the inside well, could Sun Wukong still cause trouble? Can he practiced the igneous eyes?

This well reflects how much the ancient Chinese alchemists were restricted by equipment!

Without glass, the use of wooden kettles and the development of good chemical equipment was an extremely important reason why our ancestors gave the honor of alchemy to chemistry to the West.

Chen Wanrong knows more about how important chemical equipment is to chemical industry than anyone else. It can be said that if there is no suitable equipment, Chen Wanrong has a lot of chemical knowledge, but it will be difficult to change the result. He will follow the footsteps of our ancestors. Chemical industry will not take root in the Tang Dynasty and will not develop into an independent industry.

If this is true, Chen Wanrong's life would be just a small fight, and at most he would be respected as a "allier who has achieved great success in alchemy" by Tang people.

Therefore, Chen Wanrong was always thinking about equipment. How could he see such an exquisite horizontal knife? This shows that the Tang Dynasty had high-quality steel and had a particularly strong hope of creating chemical equipment.

Chen Zairong had a special love for weapons. Just when Chen Wanrong turned his mind, he picked up a Mo knife, held it with his left hand, and shook his wrist. A beautiful knife flower appeared, making a whirring sound of wind, which was so loud.

Chen Wanrong thought that even if he held a knife with both hands, he would have difficulty holding it. He danced with the sword in his left hand and did not feel heavy at all. He seemed as relaxed as four ounces of cotton. His divine power was not inferior to that of the ancient generals, and he couldn't help but praise him.

Chen Zairong became more excited. He raised his head and thrust his chest, and smiled: "Brother, what's this? Even if the key points are, I will dance like a straw. Brother, this Modao is very popular in the army and is a weapon of heavy infantry. I don't know how many people can dance Modao like me."

He had a deep study of weapons. When he talked about weapons, he couldn't stop talking: "Modao was improved from the horse-knife used by the Yulin Army in the Han Dynasty. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to our Tang Dynasty, China was threatened by the northern grasslands all the time. The enemies on the grassland grew up on horseback, skilled in bowing and horse riding and shooting, and could live on horseback for a lifetime. They had many horses, fast cavalry mobility and strong impact, and pose a great threat to our China. The Huns in the Han Dynasty burned the Ganquan Palace and the Turkic soldiers were on the bridge during the Emperor Taizong of the country, because the enemies on the grassland had too many horses.

"Therefore, dealing with the enemy's horses is the key to winning in China. There are many ways to use a crossbow to suppress the enemy's riding and shooting. Although the enemy is familiar with riding, it does not have the crossbow to shoot farther than our crossbow, and it does not have the crossbow to shoot accurately. This method has a very good effect.

"When the enemy rushed to the front, we have to fight with the enemy with real swords and guns. Brother, imagine what would it be if thousands of people like me hold Mo Dao and wait for the enemy's cavalry to rush in front of us and chop the Mo Dao at the enemy together? Needless to say, people must be overturned and their limbs fly horizontally, and they cannot form an army. Although the enemy's cavalry is powerful, they can only be slaughtered in front of our Mo Dao.

"At that time, Emperor Taizong destroyed the Turks, defeated Tuyuhun, and defeated Tubo, Modao showed his power. He fought well, and he fought well!"

After speaking, my heart was fascinated, and my face was flushed with light and my eyes were shining. I held the Mo Dao tightly, as if I was galloping on the battlefield.

His words were deeply rooted in Modao. The prosperity of the Tang Empire was invincible. Modao made great contributions. In the key battle between the Tang Dynasty and the emerging Arab Empire for the Western Regions, the "Battle of Talas", the deputy general Li Siye used Modao. According to historical records, "those who were Siye's swords were broken," which shows its power.

During this battle, the Tang Dynasty dispatched more than 80% of the troops in the Western Regions, with the core being the Han army of 20,000 people. It was equipped with a large number of Modao. Once it launched an attack, it was invincible. In this battle, Arabs dispatched at least 100,000 elite troops, but after five days of fighting, not only did they not take advantage, but they also suppressed the Tang army.

If the traitor had not let go of the side and the Arab Empire sent cavalry to seize the Tang army's retreat, the Arab Empire would have probably failed in this battle. It was the Arab battlefield commander who knew the terribleness of the Tang army and did not dare to pursue it when the Tang army had to retreat.

Zhang Deming came out of the house, holding a piece of high-quality steel in his hand. He heard Chen Zairong's words clearly in the inner room, pointed at Chen Zairong and smiled, "You boy has such good conditions, it would be a pity if you don't join the army."

These words were the same as Mr. Huang's comments in the county hall. They suddenly touched Chen Zairong's thoughts. He couldn't help but look dark, and he sighed inwardly, put the Mo Dao back to the weapon stand.

Chen Zairong's change did not escape Zhang Deming's eyes, and asked curiously: "Have you encountered something unpleasant? I heard that Anbei Protectorate is recruiting talents and brave men. Why don't you try it? If I have the strength and martial arts, I will definitely go."

This is like sprinkling salt on the wound. Chen Zairong's eyes turned red, tears rolling in his eyes. Zhang Deming's eyes rolled: "Your parents are not allowed to go? Anbei Protectorate has been fighting for twelve months a year and ten months. If he goes, it's really hard to say."

He really told him that it was accurate. Chen Wanrong had a smile on his face, as if this was not the case at all: "Where could it be? Which parent doesn't care about his children? His parents didn't let him go, but they support him in the army very much. But he is still young and only sixteen years old. If he read some books, learn some strategies, and wait for the older he went to join the army, wouldn't it be better to serve the court than to go now? Huo Qubing has been famous throughout the ages. Didn't he go to fight the Huns at the age of eighteen?"

Chen Wanrong has no idea that "family scandals should not be made public", but like a country woman, she will talk about family matters and talk about them whenever she meets them. That is too unstable. If you solve the problem at home, who has no worries at home?

Zhang Deming agreed very well. He patted Chen Zairong's shoulder and comforted him, "Zairong, your parents can see far. You are smart, have strong comprehension, and have skilled martial arts. You are a little younger, only sixteen years old, so you should take advantage of this season to learn more about military skills. Think about it, from ancient times to the present, those famous generals were not people who read a lot. Our young Duke of Wei studied and practiced martial arts, and discussed military skills with his uncle Han Qinhu. Han Qinhu praised him for his ability to discuss military affairs with Sun Wu. Who else would he be the other one? Later, Duke of Wei assisted Emperor Taizong to determine the world. Did the Turks be so powerful? Isn't it for him to destroy them? It's right to listen to your parents."

Duke Wei was the stunning and talented general Li Jing. He made outstanding achievements throughout his life. He fought in Jiangnan, pacified Lingnan in the south, destroyed the Turks in the north, defeated Tuguhun in the west, and was granted Duke Wei. He was a great hero in the minds of the Tang people. His story was widely circulated and ordinary people could tell the previous part. If the Tang Dynasty had a storytelling, his story would definitely be very popular among teahouses and wine shops.
