Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 63 Forging

In such an environment, one can find a surgeon who has received modern medical training and has formal medical experience and practical surgical skills.

Qin Ziwen felt like he had struck gold.

As for medical malpractice and such, we can't ask for too much. As he said, he believes that there will always be some accidents in this world that are beyond human control.

Just like this journey through time.

Seeing that Qin Ziwen didn't care about the stain on his career, Zhao Pu relaxed a lot.

Zhao Pu said, "Mr. Qin, were you injured during the conflict? If so, please treat any wounds immediately."

"Who's injured?" Qin Ziwen asked, turning around.

Li Tieshan blinked. Injured?
All he remembered was that someone tried to come in, so he smashed the hammer hard and chased after them.

The man kept running, and he kept chasing.

Then the person suddenly fell down.

Li Tieshan looked at his arm and suddenly realized, "Brother Qin! I was running too fast and my arm hit the wall, that's why I have this bruise."

Deng Guang recalled that he followed behind Qin Ziwen. After Qin Ziwen stabbed the man, he hit him with a stick, and then he didn't have any further conflicts with anyone.

He shook his head and honestly said, "I'm not injured."

Qin Ziwu puffed out his chest smugly, "Dealing with these petty thieves is no big deal; there's no need to get hurt. I can easily handle them."

Zhao Pu glanced at Qin Ziwu. He remembered that this was the man who had come to tell them to go out and clean the floor; he seemed to be Mr. Qin's younger brother.

He stepped forward and examined the bruise on Li Tieshan's elbow. "I have some safflower oil at home. I'll apply it for you later, and it will be fine in a couple of days."

When Zhao Pu's gaze fell on the fine burn scars on Li Tieshan's arm, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

What does this person do for a living? A welder? A cook?
If I had used more scar removal cream, I wouldn't have ended up with so many scars.

After resolving the matter, Qin Ziwen returned home, where he prepared to conduct an experiment.

Close the door.

Have Li Tieshan forge ironware in a level 1 blacksmith shop.

He listened in the corridor outside, observing whether the sound of hammering could be heard in the corridor.

The house is very well soundproofed, and with three doors and a space of several hundred square meters as a buffer, the sound is almost inaudible.

The faint knocking could only be heard by pressing one's ear against the door.

Then he went upstairs, and from 602 he could hear even less.

Perhaps because the blacksmith shop is located within the folded space created by the expansion card, it forms a separate space, and the propagation of sound is somewhat limited here.

"It's daytime now, I wonder if the sound will be clearer at night."

Qin Ziwen pondered, but based on the current experimental results, Li Tieshan's blacksmithing at home during the day would not cause any noise to travel outside.

Li Yue hasn't come up with the formula yet, but we can start casting it now, since there's plenty of iron ore.

The most urgent task is to have Li Yue forge a few suitable long weapons.

The best weapon to deal with wild beasts is a long weapon.

An inch longer, an inch stronger. The wooden stick was only a backup when there was no other choice. In Li Tieshan’s opinion, the “simple spear” he had made by gluing together a rope and clothesline was not strong enough and would easily break if it encountered a large wild animal.

Qin Ziwen instructed Li Tieshan to first forge spears. The spears had to meet four key requirements: hardness, a certain degree of toughness, a sharp tip, and ease of wielding.

Aesthetics are not important if these conditions are met.

Li Tieshan gave an approximate timeframe: "Sir, it may take about five days."

"So long?" Li Tieshan said, "Sir, the smelting takes the longest time. This is all raw iron ore. It takes about two days to forge the raw iron ore into pig iron, and another day to turn the pig iron into wrought iron. Then, forging the spear shaft, shaping, and polishing takes about two more days."

"The most time-consuming part is iron ore smelting, right?"

"Yes sir."

"What if we have raw materials?" Qin Ziwen took out some extra pots, pans, and bowls.

Li Tieshan examined it carefully and said, "It can shorten the time. I can make a good spearhead within two days."

"Okay, you can start now. Just let me know if you need any help."

"Yes."

After saying that, Li Tieshan picked up his bucket and went to dig coal.

In the afternoon, Guo Xiaochun came to visit.

"Brother Qin, Brother Qin, something terrible has happened!"

Qin Ziwen welcomed him to room 602 and poured him a glass of cool water. "What's wrong? Sit down and tell me slowly."

Guo Xiaochun took a sip of water and shook his head: "It has little to do with you. I guess no one will pay attention to your affairs in the next day or two."

The day before yesterday, Wang Mingchao caused quite a scene, making the altar matter public.

After his death, the matter had temporarily subsided, but today, someone revealed the location of the altar that Wang Mingchao discovered, and there was more than one person who revealed it. Now, people are recruiting all over the neighborhood.

According to what I've heard, a group of people, including Wang Mingchao's former teammates, formed a team and agreed to take turns obtaining the cards. However, a traitor among them secretly took the cards the next day. Both sides accused the other of taking them, and to find out if there was a traitor or an outsider, they guarded the altar all night, but no one came to claim the cards until morning.

Qin Ziwen's expression was subtle; the more he listened, the stranger it seemed.

This sounds so familiar.

Guo Xiaochun cleared his throat and continued, "Now the truth is clear. Unless the person who stole the cards the day before could predict the future, they couldn't have come to take them on the first day and then not come back on the second day, could they?"

So someone on the inside must have leaked the information, allowing someone to take the cards ahead of time. Now their temporary team has disbanded, and everyone's forming teams everywhere, preparing to snatch the cards tomorrow.

Good guy.

Qin Ziwen truly hadn't expected that group of people to be so ruthless, not returning to the residential area at night but instead lying in wait there.

If he hadn't received intelligence that someone was watching his family, he might have really run into trouble.

Of course, with harpy eagles around, they might be able to spot anything unusual beforehand, and they might not necessarily get caught.

But that would be a wasted trip.

Moreover, using a harpy to steal cards is not feasible. He had tried summoning cards for the harpy to catch, but the harpy could not touch the cards.

Not only the horned eagle, but Li Tieshan also couldn't touch the cards.

Guo Xiaochun shook his head, "Brother Qin, there are probably quite a few people going to rob the cards this time, at least several hundred. It's going to be lively there tomorrow, and I wonder how many people will die."

Guo Xiaochun asked, "Are you going tomorrow?"

Qin Ziwen chuckled, "You've already said it's going to be so lively, so why would I go?"

Several hundred people went.

Why bother joining in the fun?

The risk is too great; it's simply not worth it.

Today has already been high-profile enough; if it continues to be high-profile, it may become the target of public criticism.

He decided to try a different approach and make good use of the harpy eagle's ability to carry a mobile phone to record videos.
