Kawei fully understood all of Rurik’s explanations based on the atom and the whole iron smelting principle, and he has believed in these explanations so far.
Is there anything else to doubt? Is there a more reliable explanation than this?
is his father Clavasson, a teacher who also took care of ironing, and he never told himself these deep things.
Before tonight, Kawei simply felt that charcoal burned the stone, and hit the last thing that was red to become iron. Why is this so? Probably it was Thor's miracle, or Odin's miracle.
After listening to Rurik’s explanation, there may still be miracles in it, but these miracles have become controllable.
The saying passed down from ancestors is that Odin created people in his own image. That being the case, perhaps people have been acquiesced by Odin from the beginning to obtain and use some miracles.
He even asked by analogy: "What if we do not calcinate fifty times, but one hundred times? Wouldn't it be harder?"
"No!" Rurik bluntly denied, "The sword absorbs too much carbon and becomes very fragile. Pure iron swords are easy to bend, and iron swords that absorb too much carbon are especially easy to break. We must use iron. With this characteristic, the best weapon can be made.
To make the whole sword absorb a certain amount of carbon, it has two characteristics, so my sword actually has a certain degree of flexibility. Kawei, you can try it for me. "
"I?"
"Yes." Rurik continued; "You hold the hilt and press down forcefully. You don't have to worry about anything. I can predict that it will not break or deform. It will break like a branch because of your strength. It bends, and it’s restored to its original shape because of your slack.
"Good! I will try."
Seeing Kawei holding the sword with one hand at an acute angle, he began to exert his strength, and under Rurik's attention, the blade really bends. But looking at Kawei's hideous expression, the young brawny also exerted a lot of power.
Kawei let go, and saw that the once-bent sword bounced back to its original shape in an instant, and was really taken aback by the strength of the resilience.
"Wow! It really made you right." Kawei said excitedly.
And Clavasson was even more excited, because this little experiment is an accurate proof of what Rurik just said.
Kravasson said sincerely: "Rurik, I know the iron sword I made in the past. As long as I exert great effort to press it, the sword body will bend in place. To restore it, it must be red. Fight back from the new iron tower! This sword of yours...you have shown me a miracle."
"Haha? Is this a miracle? You made it yourself. Is it a miracle?" Rurik shook his head. "I have already told you that the entire human world is made up of the smallest indivisible things. It’s the smallest atom. Atoms compose new things in different ways, further composing everything we see."
Rurik paused: "I answered Kawei’s question accurately. What happens if you continue to burn forged iron swords? It absorbs too much carbon. After reaching a certain level, Kawei continues to press the sword, and the sword can directly Broken. Even during the forging, the sword embryo broke directly.
As blacksmiths, you have to learn a brand new technique, which is to control the amount of carbon absorbed by the iron sword. It depends on your own feelings.
I ask you to judge a good sword in the future. It can cut off a normal iron sword and be able to return to its original shape after bending. These two principles are the most important. "
The two blacksmiths nodded deeply, and at the same time a strong sense of excitement acted on their bodies, causing their feet to sweat and trembling with excitement.
Until now, Rurik believed that the two blacksmiths had understood the atomic theory they were talking about, and also understood the principle of making a steel sword.
Of course, Rurik’s so-called "atomic theory" itself has a lot of loopholes.
The earliest "atomic theory" was born in Greece in the fifth century BC. Many philosophers discussed the composition of the world. A theory that the world is composed of the smallest indivisible matter was also born in countless discussions and was Organized into a classical theory. I am afraid that this theory can only be regarded as an enlightenment. They even think that flame is also a kind of atom, which is the concept of the so-called "phlogiston".
The phlogiston concept derived from classical atomism has been circulating in human society for more than two thousand years. It was not until the nineteenth century that the phenomenon of combustion had a clear scientific explanation.
Rurik’s so-called atomism is purely to take into account the understanding of the blacksmith, making it more like "ancient Greek atomism". He also directly applied the results of modern atomism, where the actual meaning of atom is equivalent to a proton.
Because of the special nature of their work, the blacksmiths know more about "natural philosophy" than the average tribal residents. In order to get the useful copper and iron out of the ore, they have to ponder the composition of the ore.
It is very interesting that in order to get more gold, some ancient Greeks began to invent and practice alchemy. After all, the color of bronze seems to be a little darker than gold. If you add certain metals to make it closer to real gold in color, and make it look like a fake, then it is really a huge profit.
With the destruction of Western Rome, the entire Western Europe entered a state of chaos. It took the Germanic chiefs hundreds of years to re-establish a new order under the authority of the Franks.
Those large iron smelting factories in the Roman era disappeared, and science and technology disappeared with them. The civilization of the Western European world regressed greatly. A large number of Germanic blacksmiths only knew that they could burn the ore and beat them to make iron. Many barbarian blacksmiths even had no time to find quenching techniques from the Roman ruins.
Because of the lack of a teacher, most iron swords in Western Europe hope to improve the quality of their products, but there is no theoretical basis to support their desire.
Coupled with the general poverty of ordinary Germanic descendants in Western Europe in the original time and space, there are not many professional blacksmiths, and more iron swords are part-time farmers. Iron smelting and ironing are both extremely heavy manual labor. Blacksmiths must eat more bread to strike iron vigorously. Poor civilians are half hungry and have no financial resources to hire blacksmiths to build good tools. Thought of these things. First release https://https://
The foundation of the Frankish Empire is maintained by a large number of self-cultivating farmers.
Many of these self-cultivating farmers are still at the end of tribal society. The ancient Germanic tribal system was destroyed due to the conquest and rise of the Franks, and the emerging small peasant class had to break away from tribes that no longer existed.
They must personally use wooden ploughs or even their hands to reclaim wasteland to grow food. They use wood to make tools to build houses. The Frankish nobles were their managers, and they also had to collect certain taxes. Poor self-cultivators accumulated their wealth with difficulty, and those bankrupt self-cultivators would naturally become noble serfs.
Craftsmen like blacksmiths are more likely to become slaves to nobles. It's just that the nobles prefer blacksmiths to serfs who farm the land.
Nobles must have a powerful army of their own. Only iron and bronze can make an army powerful. The so-called Frankish nobles, their ancestors are Germanic chiefs, and the ancestors of self-farming farmers are just ordinary residents of the tribes, and they have the distinction of high and low from the beginning. When Frank adopted the system of enfeoffment in an all-round way, this distinction of nobility and inferiority was further sanctified because of the church.
The nobles need a blacksmith to strike iron, and they must also bring a blacksmith with the army when they go out to repair weapons made of wrought iron that is easy to bend and break.
Blacksmiths originated from farmers who lack or lack land. They have inherited this laborious work from generation to generation. They need the support of the nobles. After all, the nobles are their biggest benefactors.
Especially in the current time and space, the residents of Norway and Denmark began to plunder the British and the Frankish Empire on a large scale as Viking pirates. The nobles need the taxes from the civilians to survive, so for their own survival, they must organize an army to counterattack all the Vikings.
Wars began to become frequent, and the nobles needed blacksmiths even more.
The blacksmiths of Western Europe in the ninth century did not understand atomic theory, nor did they understand alchemy at all, let alone the ancient steelmaking techniques from the East that had been culminated in the classical period.
According to the normal historical trend, the invasion of the Mongol army brought a lot of things.
The introduction of some steelmaking techniques from faraway China, and the return of training techniques that continue to spread from the Middle East world, made Europe finally able to manufacture low-carbon steel. The returning alchemists would rather risk being burned to death as wizards, or do some crazy experiments to make gold out of thin air with ordinary things.
The historical development context, finally in 828 AD, a small deviation began to occur.
In the beginning, this was a slight deviation.
However, when the blacksmiths of the Ross tribe fully understood the core principles of making carbon steel, many things became different.
Because of Rurik, he is not just a little angel who provides steelmaking. For him, letting a blacksmith make a steel sword is not for a bit of wealth. The blacksmith has a completely new understanding of the world based on the "Rurik-like atomism" he developed.
Although Rurik still claims that the world was created by Odin, as to how Odin created the world, it is no longer the inexplicable and incomprehensible thing.
Carbon steel has elasticity, which did not exist in the metal weapons used as weapons in Western Europe in the past.
Since it has good resilience, it can be made into a better weapon, such as a crossbow.
When Rurik saw Kawei struggling to bend his dagger, he thought of the possibility of the steel crossbow in an instant.
At the end of the Middle Ages, Genoa is most famous for its steel arm crossbow made of steel. Its strength lies in its ability to pierce the armor of a plate knight with a heavy arrow within a certain distance.
Although the steel-armed crossbow has its own problems, it was manufactured in the 15th to 16th century, when the matchlock was just starting, it is another weapon that can effectively strike heavy armored units.
Weapons, in a country with frequent wars, all forces will generally choose the most cost-effective equipment. The monarch does not require weapons to be so fancy, it must be able to achieve the result of defeating the enemy by its own army at a small price.
The overall climate in Europe is relatively humid, and the black technology of the ribbed composite bow is prone to embarrassment in a humid environment, which forces Europe to have to use a single straight wooden bow.
However, in the ninth century AD, throughout Western Europe, the use of bows was not common, not to mention the high-tech crossbow.
As for the Nordic world, the Vikings called barbaric by Western Europe, they don't even need a bow. Throwing weapons are of course also available, that is, spears.
Humans have used spears as throwing weapons for tens of thousands of years. All humans in the world have this kind of innate ability to throw javelins and spears. The Romans played javelins and spears to the extreme.
Do the Ross tribe need to develop long-range weapons? Of course it needs.
It's a pity that he is still too weak. He always has countless ideas in his mind, and he has many ambitious plans. He also knows the reason why too much stride and hurts his hips.
He is the kind of person with a calm temperament that is unique to the East. Even if he desires that the Rus tribe that he will be in power has stronger technology, he can't do it overnight.
Rome was not built in a day, the stone road leading to Rome, each stone slab is also piece by piece.
Lurik’s most feared thing is that as he gets older, some of the most basic and important knowledge is accidentally forgotten. Starting
The night is already very deep, and in a few days it will be Hanukkah, the biggest festival of the Rus tribe. All tribesmen will have a carnival to welcome the "longest night".
After the new Hanukkah, the tribe must have a new beginning, Rurik deeply thinks so.
Now, Cravason and Kawei have understood a lot of the so-called "Knowledge of Odin."
Rurik looked at the two blacksmiths who were contented and confident about the future, and said profoundly: "Odin used one eye to acquire knowledge, and then turned the giant's corpse into countless atoms, using knowledge to create us. The human world. We are all Odin’s creations, so we can also understand some of Odin’s wisdom ~ www.novelhall.com~ Now you have made new swords by yourself."
"Yes!" Kravasson said excitedly: "For this reason, my son and I will become very wealthy. I have decided that before Kawei goes to Novgorod with the leader, I must build a The steel sword (stelsvard) serves as Kawei’s saber."
"Dad, I will make it myself, so you don't need to worry about it." Kawei believes.
"You? You'd better go to Novgorod to find a good woman and give me a few more boys. Since our family got the wisdom of Odin from the next leader, we must carry it forward."
"I will, it's a big deal to grab one back."
heard them jokingly and bickering, Rurik didn't smile more. Robbery is also a traditional skill of all Viking Nordic people, this kind of behavior is not a good thing. It's not just that robbery is a crime that will accumulate resentment, but purely rationally speaking, it is obviously more cost-effective to improve the efficiency of the production of materials for this ethnic group than robbery. In selling high-value-added materials, this method is traditionally used to make a fortune. The Viking Business Noble Group will also be born from this.
During this night, Kawei and Kravasson made it clear that they would develop the technology of "Hundred Steelmaking" and fulfill the contract with absolute honesty.
But Rurik didn't want to end this simple.
Tired, he asked Kawei: "You can get me another plank."
"what's happenin?"
"I want to carve something about what Odin created with atom. I carve it on a wooden board for you to learn."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
Kawei fully understood all of Rurik’s explanations based on the atom and the whole iron smelting principle, and he has believed in these explanations so far.
Is there anything else to doubt? Is there a more reliable explanation than this?
is his father Clavasson, a teacher who also took care of ironing, and he never told himself these deep things.
Before tonight, Kawei simply felt that charcoal burned the stone, and hit the last thing that was red to become iron. Why is this so? Probably it was Thor's miracle, or Odin's miracle.

Iron smelting and ironing are both extremely heavy manual labor. Blacksmiths must eat more bread to strike iron vigorously. Poor civilians are half hungry and have no financial resources to hire blacksmiths to build good tools. Thought of these things. First release https://https:// The foundation of the Frankish Empire is maintained by a large number of self-cultivating farmers.Many of these self-cultivating farmers are still at the end of tribal society. The ancient Germanic tribal system was destroyed due to the conquest and rise of the Franks, and the emerging small peasant class had to break away from tribes that no longer existed. They must personally use wooden ploughs or even their hands to reclaim wasteland to grow food. They use wood to make tools to build houses. The Frankish nobles were their managers, and they also had to collect certain taxes. Poor self-cultivators accumulated their wealth with difficulty, and those bankrupt self-cultivators would naturally become noble serfs. Craftsmen like blacksmiths are more likely to become slaves to nobles. It's just that the nobles prefer blacksmiths to serfs who farm the land. Nobles must have a powerful army of their own. Only iron and bronze can make an army powerful. The so-called Frankish nobles, their ancestors are Germanic chiefs, and the ancestors of self-farming farmers are just ordinary residents of the tribes, and they have the distinction of high and low from the beginning. When Frank adopted the system of enfeoffment in an all-round way, this distinction of nobility and inferiority was further sanctified because of the church. The nobles need a blacksmith to strike iron, and they must also bring a blacksmith with the army when they go out to repair weapons made of wrought iron that is easy to bend and break. Blacksmiths originated from farmers who lack or lack land. They have inherited this laborious work from generation to generation. They need the support of the nobles. After all, the nobles are their biggest benefactors. Especially in the current time and space, the residents of Norway and Denmark began to plunder the British and the Frankish Empire on a large scale as Viking pirates. The nobles need the taxes from the civilians to survive, so for their own survival, they must organize an army to counterattack all the Vikings. Wars began to become frequent, and the nobles needed blacksmiths even more. The blacksmiths of Western Europe in the ninth century did not understand atomic theory, nor did they understand alchemy at all, let alone the ancient steelmaking techniques from the East that had been culminated in the classical period.According to the normal historical trend, the invasion of the Mongol army brought a lot of things. The introduction of some steelmaking techniques from faraway China, and the return of training techniques that continue to spread from the Middle East world, made Europe finally able to manufacture low-carbon steel. The returning alchemists would rather risk being burned to death as wizards, or do some crazy experiments to make gold out of thin air with ordinary things.The historical development context, finally in 828 AD, a small deviation began to occur.In the beginning, this was a slight deviation. However, when the blacksmiths of the Ross tribe fully understood the core principles of making carbon steel, many things became different.Because of Rurik, he is not just a little angel who provides steelmaking. For him, letting a blacksmith make a steel sword is not for a bit of wealth. The blacksmith has a completely new understanding of the world based on the "Rurik-like atomism" he developed. Although Rurik still claims that the world was created by Odin, as to how Odin created the world, it is no longer the inexplicable and incomprehensible thing. Carbon steel has elasticity, which did not exist in the metal weapons used as weapons in Western Europe in the past. Since it has good resilience, it can be made into a better weapon, such as a crossbow. When Rurik saw Kawei struggling to bend his dagger, he thought of the possibility of the steel crossbow in an instant. At the end of the Middle Ages, Genoa is most famous for its steel arm crossbow made of steel. Its strength lies in its ability to pierce the armor of a plate knight with a heavy arrow within a certain distance. Although the steel-armed crossbow has its own problems, it was manufactured in the 15th to 16th century, when the matchlock was just starting, it is another weapon that can effectively strike heavy armored units.Weapons, in a country with frequent wars, all forces will generally choose the most cost-effective equipment. The monarch does not require weapons to be so fancy, it must be able to achieve the result of defeating the enemy by its own army at a small price. The overall climate in Europe is relatively humid, and the black technology of the ribbed composite bow is prone to embarrassment in a humid environment, which forces Europe to have to use a single straight wooden bow. However, in the ninth century AD, throughout Western Europe, the use of bows was not common, not to mention the high-tech crossbow. As for the Nordic world, the Vikings called barbaric by Western Europe, they don't even need a bow. Throwing weapons are of course also available, that is, spears. Humans have used spears as throwing weapons for tens of thousands of years. All humans in the world have this kind of innate ability to throw javelins and spears. The Romans played javelins and spears to the extreme.Do the Ross tribe need to develop long-range weapons? Of course it needs.It's a pity that he is still too weak. He always has countless ideas in his mind, and he has many ambitious plans. He also knows the reason why too much stride and hurts his hips.He is the kind of person with a calm temperament that is unique to the East. Even if he desires that the Rus tribe that he will be in power has stronger technology, he can't do it overnight. Rome was not built in a day, the stone road leading to Rome, each stone slab is also piece by piece.Lurik's most feared thing is that as he gets older, some of the most basic and important knowledge is accidentally forgotten. Starting The night is already very deep, and in a few days it will be Hanukkah, the biggest festival of the Rus tribe. All tribesmen will have a carnival to welcome the "longest night". After the new Hanukkah, the tribe must have a new beginning, Rurik deeply thinks so. Now, Cravason and Kawei have understood a lot of the so-called "Knowledge of Odin."Rurik looked at the two blacksmiths who were contented and confident about the future, and said profoundly: "Odin used one eye to acquire knowledge, and then turned the giant's corpse into countless atoms, using knowledge to create us. The human world. We are all Odin's creations, so we can also understand some of Odin's wisdom ~ www.novelhall.com~ Now you have made new swords by yourself.""Yes!" Kravasson said excitedly: "For this reason, my son and I will become very wealthy. I have decided that before Kawei goes to Novgorod with the leader, I must build a The steel sword stelsvard serves as Kawei's saber." "Dad, I will make it myself, so you don't need to worry about it." Kawei believes. "You? You'd better go to Novgorod to find a good woman and give me a few more boys. Since our family got the wisdom of Odin from the next leader, we must carry it forward." "I will, it's a big deal to grab one back." heard them jokingly and bickering, Rurik didn't smile more. Robbery is also a traditional skill of all Viking Nordic people, this kind of behavior is not a good thing. It's not just that robbery is a crime that will accumulate resentment, but purely rationally speaking, it is obviously more cost-effective to improve the efficiency of the production of materials for this ethnic group than robbery. In selling high-value-added materials, this method is traditionally used to make a fortune. The Viking Business Noble Group will also be born from this. During this night, Kawei and Kravasson made it clear that they would develop the technology of "Hundred Steelmaking" and fulfill the contract with absolute honesty. But Rurik didn't want to end this simple. Tired, he asked Kawei: "You can get me another plank." "what's happenin?" "I want to carve something about what Odin created with atom. I carve it on a wooden board for you to learn."
