Chapter 558 - Green Bronze!
Chapter 558
Green Bronze!
The blood was extracted, and the bronze casting was about to begin.
They did not know how long the blood supply in the bamboo tube could last, nor were they sure that the blood quality would stay fresh, so they had to make preparations as fast as possible.
In the casting room, irrelevant people were forced to stay out, and even if they wanted to look, they could only wait outside. Besides the two chiefs and the other three leaders, all the other minor leaders could only walk in circles outside waiting for them to finish. They couldn’t see anything even if they stretched their necks.
They used the slave owners’ method of mud casting where they poured molten alloys into the cavity of the mould.
Most of the moulds used were made of mud. However, it was different this time. Everyone had to be more cautious throughout the entire process.
This was an attempt to use the blood of a green-faced fanged beast and it was an important turning point. If they succeed, the weapons used by the tribe would become more powerful, and stone tools would gradually be replaced. After all, if the new bronze was hard and sharp enough, and could break rocks as Gongjia Heng said, then many people would prefer bronze weapons over stone ones.
The moulds made of mud had been dried for a long time and went through a process where they were repeatedly hammered. They had been put to a temperature test, and the bronze weapons previously made also proved their usefulness. These moulds were not too wet and had no signs of air seeping through. It was suitable for casting bronze weapons.
Shao Xuan held the big bronze sword with both hands, took a step forward, lifted it, then brought it towards the stone thrown into the air!
Clang!
The blade cut harshly on the stone and the fist-sized stone broke in half. It was simple, neat, and smooth!
On the blade, there was not even a scratch.
In terms of both sharpness and hardness, it was really much stronger than the previous bronzes!
