Traveling through troubled times: Princess disguises herself as a man and becomes a soldier to earn

Jiang Li put down the work in his hands, stood up and looked at the furnace. After confirming that the furnace was full of molten iron, he began to work on the next step. The others watched him busying himself, but could not understand and could only stand aside.

There are still several steps from molten iron to molten steel, and then to steel plates, steel sheets, and finally to sharp blades, but when it comes to steel plates, you can basically tell whether it has failed or not.

If it is too fragile, it will obviously not work. It needs to be tough, light and sharp. All of these are indispensable. Otherwise, how can it gain the upper hand on the battlefield?

He clapped his hands and said, "Okay, you guys watch over here. Call me when it becomes molten steel. Also, be careful and don't get burned. That thing can melt a person if you're not careful."

Several people were frightened by his words, shuddered, and melted?

The boss knows how to scare people.

After Jiang Li finished speaking, he sat back on the stool and continued to draw the pattern. After the pattern was finished, he could teach them how to play Landlord. It would be a fun way to kill time.

Mu Qingchen looked at the furnace, then looked at him, a little curious about what he was refining, iron or something else, but the Iron Man would absolutely not allow it. He couldn't be trying to rebel, could he?

"Hey, tell me the truth, it's not from the military camp, it's a serious crime to smelt iron privately, if you're caught, your entire clan will be implicated."

"Oh, it's okay. My entire clan won't be implicated."

Are you kidding? She is from the royal family. Even if the original owner's father was incompetent, he couldn't kill all nine generations of her clan. That would mean killing himself as well.

Mu Qingchen frowned, not quite understanding why he said that.

Jiang Li glanced at him calmly and said, "Doctor Mu, you should know that if you keep your mouth shut, look less at what you shouldn't look at, and say less about what you shouldn't say, you can avoid disasters."

"Besides, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, who can know."

Seeing his worried look, she waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, there will be formal procedures. Once the experiment is successful, it will be reported. It is definitely not privately refining weapons, don't worry."

Mu Qingchen rolled his eyes when he saw his nonchalant look. This guy was really unbridled. Anyone who could report must be from the military camp. I wonder which prince's man he is.

After thinking about it, it still doesn't seem right. The imperial court keeps a close eye on several princes, fearing that they might rebel, so how could they allow them to refine weapons?

I opened my mouth and wanted to ask something, but swallowed it back. He was right. It was better not to know some things. Knowing too much would only bring disaster in the future.

When the painting was almost finished, Jiang Li stood up and stretched, shouting, "Wang Meng, hurry up and get some food. I'm starving. Your boss is almost starving to death."

Mu Qingchen glanced at the stars in the sky, stood up and said, "It's getting late, I'll go back first. When the bamboo plaques are ready, don't forget to give them to me."

"Well, go back. When it's done, I'll have someone deliver it to you. Just a friendly reminder, try not to come here if you don't have anything else to do."

"Oh, I see."

The contents that follow are probably secrets, so he cannot read them anymore. If he continues to read, he will probably be the first one to be silenced.

Wang Meng brought the food over and said respectfully, "Boss, you can eat now. Please enjoy. We will just watch over the stove."

"Doctor Mu, will there be any problem if he sees us smelting iron today? If he tells others, then we..."

Jiang Li shook his head: "No, he is a smart man. Because he is a smart man, we can't hide the iron smelting, but we must keep the steel smelting secret."

"The Mu family is a century-old family. If they were stupid enough to not control their mouth, they would have been gone long ago. He poses no threat to us, so we don't need to worry about him."

"Starting tomorrow, this area will be fenced off and no one is allowed to come in."

Wang Meng nodded: "Yes, I understand."

next day

Jiang Li looked at the formed steel plate. It looked the same as in his previous life, but he had to try again to see if it was hard enough. He tried to bend it with force and it broke with a snap.

Wang Meng looked at the board that was half a finger thick and was broken so easily by him. His heart was pounding and his eyes were full of shock. He was worthy of being the boss. He had great strength.

All that food was not eaten in vain, but his face doesn't look like he is satisfied.

Sure enough, it was still not enough, too brittle and not flexible enough. It must be that the proportion of charcoal added was wrong.

Damn it, even if I fail, I still have to keep trying.

Wang Meng saw that he was emitting an aura that said "keep away from strangers" and swallowed his saliva: "Boss... Boss, are you okay? Are you feeling unwell? It's okay. If it doesn't work this time, we can try again."

"It's definitely not that easy to refine a magic weapon. Let's not rush. Just take our time."

Jiang Li threw the board into the stove and shrugged: "Well, I know, keep going. It must succeed within three months. If not, we can't delay here any longer."

"...Yes, I understand."

"Well, just watch me while I go to the woods to look for some inspiration. Maybe if I find it, I can do it right away."

When Wang Meng saw her angrily walking into the woods, the corners of his mouth twitched. Looking at the startled birds, he knew that the wild animals in the mountains were going to be in trouble again.

Alas, the boss is unhappy, and is using those beasts for training.

After a stick of incense, Jiang Li came back, dragging something behind him.

Everyone didn't see it clearly, but when they got closer they saw it clearly and took a few steps back in fear: "Boss, Boss, you went to the snake den, how did you catch such a big snake? It's too big, you are worthy of being the boss, you are so awesome."

What's so great about it? That thing was in her space. She just went to the forest and fought with some wild beasts. She didn't kill them. She just wanted to find an excuse to take the python out.

There is so much meat. It would be such a waste if we don’t eat it.

"Come here to skin it. Send the snake gall and skin to Doctor Mu. He can do whatever he likes with them. Don't send the meat. He won't eat it."

Several people were busy processing the python. After eating the delicious stewed snake meat, they kept nodding their heads. They were still very good at eating. This thing looked scary, but unexpectedly it tasted quite good.

Jiang Li ate half of it by himself, touched his stomach and burped. The supernatural powers in his body were active and he felt very satisfied.

The days passed slowly, and half a decade passed in the blink of an eye. After repeated tests, the steel plate was ready. Jiang Li could bend it at will instead of breaking it.

The qualified steel plate has been produced, and what remains is to make the steel knife, which is much simpler. Just pour it into the model. It is relatively simple and can be left to Wang Meng and others to do.

Jiang Li looked at the ten steel knives that had been formed and asked them to try.

Wang Meng took one and looked at the armor. A silver light flashed and the armor instantly shattered into pieces. When everyone saw the power, they looked at the man with a calm expression with shining eyes.

As expected of the boss, he remains calm even under pressure.

He said excitedly: "Boss, you have done it, it must be done, this is too sharp, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a magic weapon."
