Chapter 208 Why Am I so Busy Today?

As soon as Liu Shu walked away, Ye Xuan from the Research Department ran over with a lot of blueprints, "Leader! Chief..."

Hearing ye Xuan's voice, Luo Ji's face was calm. Anyway, he must have encountered a problem when developing the hand crossbow again. Luo Ji, who had already been offline and made up for relevant knowledge, said he was not panic at all.

As a result, when ye Xuan came in, Luo Ji was still shocked. He subconsciously rubbed his eyes, which were a little sore and sore after reading too many reports. The thing in it is a hand crossbow? !

"Damn it!" Luo Ji was startled, counting the time, it was indeed a long time ago, but it was just a sketch before, so how quickly did you make a sample?

He quickly took a deep breath, then took a sip of water to calm down. Then, Luo Ji said in a relatively calm tone, "Ye Xuan, what is in your hand is a sample of a hand crossbow?"

"Sample?" Ye Xuan subconsciously glanced down at the crossbow in her hand, and then said in a subtle tone, "Uh, probably, it's like that."

"Probably? Is it?" At this moment, Luo Ji no doubt clearly felt the change in the other party's tone, and after a while of understanding, there was a flash of clarity in his eyes, and a flash of loss at the same time.

This hand crossbow is really not that easy to make. The one in Ye Xuan's hand is far from being a sample, because there are still many mechanical structures that have not been completed, and things like firing crossbow arrows are completely impossible. arrive.

So this one in her hand is at most a reference. To put it bluntly, no matter how many problems are still unsolved, make a real object first, and then have a real object as a reference, so that you can more directly figure out where the specific problem lies. After that, it was undoubtedly Ye Xuan's question time.

Luo Ji obviously did his homework for the large number of questions ye Xuan threw up, and he seemed to be talking freely. The question became more and more tricky, more and more whimsical, the expression on Luo Ji's face gradually lost its initial calmness...

"But, terrible, is this the real genius?" After finally sending ye Xuan away, Luo Ji, who was relieved, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. On the premise that he had made up for this knowledge, then One tricky question after another made him almost unable to answer.

"leader……"

The sound that suddenly sounded again made Luo Ji's nerves tense again, who had just relaxed. Looking back, his eyes were fixed on the guard who walked in, and he asked angrily, "Who else is there? Here? Why am I doing that today?!"

"It's Zhang Jiqiu, the captain of the fourth team of the reconnaissance team." He had long been familiar with Luo Ji's character, and the guard who walked in to report naturally knew that their leader wasn't really angry, it was just a daily complaint. , so when reporting, he didn't panic at all and seemed unusually calm.

"Zhang Ji?" Luo Ji frowned when he heard the name, "Didn't he take the fourth team and go with Guo Jia and the others? The battle report was just sent back, that is to say, what happened? Emergency situations?"

Thinking of this, Luo Ji decisively interrupted, "Call him in."

After getting permission, Zhang Ji came very quickly. Luo Ji didn't even have time to sit down when someone walked in quickly, "Zhang Ji, captain of the fourth team of the reconnaissance team, see the leader!"

"Okay, let's get up." Luo Ji waved his hand. Although he didn't like this set of things himself, rules are rules, and there are no rules without rules, so similar etiquette was promulgated along with the new batch of laws. Go out, "You came back suddenly, is there an emergency?"

"Chief Qi, this subordinate is here to give this away." As he spoke, Zhang Ji quickly untied the animal skin bag around his waist, and presented the contents to Luo Ji.

"This, ore?" Looking at the contents of the animal skin package, Luo Ji's tone revealed a hint of uncertainty, because it really looked like an ordinary stone.

"Boss, please see the fracture below."

Luo Ji nodded, took one of the stones in his hand and turned it over a few times. Immediately, his pupils shrank. To be honest, it really looks like an ordinary stone, but at the fractured part, it can be seen. Somewhat different colors.

This difference is really not obvious at all. Throw this ore into a pile of stones, and at first glance, it is estimated that there is no difference, but there is no doubt that this is a piece of ore!

"Could this be..." Seriously looking at the piece of ore in his hand, Luo Ji's heart suddenly accelerated. He didn't understand much about ore, but there were a few that he had studied carefully. , and there is a kind of ore, which is more in line with the ore in front of him, "Go, go to the forging department!"

Whether it was what he thought in his mind, he would find out if he took it to the forging furnace of the forging department and smashed it and burned it!

The things that Luo Ji personally ordered were naturally the highest priority. The craftsmen in the forging department resolutely put down their work and freed up a forging furnace to toss this newly discovered piece of ore.

The ore is broken into pieces, then crushed into the smallest particles, and then smelted at high temperature to extract the metal inside. The craftsmen of the forging department have long been skilled, and the whole smelting is completed quickly.

Looking at the copper pot that was exuding high temperature, Luo Ji waved his hand and signaled the craftsman to remove the impurities floating on the surface of the metal liquid. Then, looking at the liquid below that was slowly flowing like mercury at the bottom of the pot, that The ecstasy that swept over in an instant made Luo Ji laugh uncontrollably, "Hahaha..."

It's a tin mine! He has found a tin mine! ! The melting point of tin ore is very low. After simple smelting and removing impurities, it will show a posture like mercury, which completely matches what he sees in front of him!

There is no doubt that his previous guess has been confirmed. Tin ore is one of the few ores that he has seriously studied, because after it and pure copper are smelted together in a certain proportion, they will form a kind of ore called tin ore. Bronze alloy!

bronze! This is a symbol of the Bronze Age! This indicates that once the alloy smelting succeeds in the future, the civilization under his command, which was still hovering at the threshold of the Bronze Age, will officially take that crucial step and become a real bronze civilization! !
