"Of course I can make knives. How can I be called a knifemaker if I don't know how to make knives?"

Gao Yuan looked very confident. Wang Hu liked Gao Yuan's confident look very much. He waved and said, "Come, sit down and tell us, how do you make knives?"

Gao Yuan spread his hands and said: "This question is too broad. There are too many ways to make a knife. I don't know how to answer your question. To put it simply, you can make a knife by forging or grinding. Forging is

The blacksmith's method is to punch the knife out of steel and then quench it. In this grinding method, the steel plate is cut into a knife shape and then quenched, or a knife is directly ground out of a heat-treated steel plate."

To use knives against the Patriotic Association, Wang Hu must have used knives as a soldier, but they know how to use knives but not necessarily how to make knives. This is like eating eggs without knowing the hen that laid them, or using a refrigerator without knowing how the refrigerator is made.

a principle.

Wang Hu nodded and said with a wry smile: "I know bayonets are made in arsenals, but I don't know how they are made in arsenals. Now, we are thinking about how to deal with the weapons of your volunteers. Use

As for guns, we soldiers are all experts, but if we want to use cold weapons, then we have to think carefully about it. Xiang Dui is an expert in using cold weapons, and you are an expert in making cold weapons. So, based on your opinions,

host."

Xiang Weiguo gestured to Gao Yuan, indicating that he should listen first.

"What I'm thinking of is a set of two long knives that can cut a person in half with one blow."

He made a slashing motion towards Weiguo, and then he said in a deep voice: "Stab to death and chop to death, but I won't go into details about the characteristics of zombies. For zombies, it is the best long knife that can guarantee a fatal blow.

suitable."

Wang Hu nodded repeatedly and continued to Wei Guo: "Also, zombies are not humans. They don't know how to dodge or fight back. Therefore, in order to ensure the power, the knife can be appropriately heavier and longer."

Xiang Weiguo's words were mainly meant for Gao Yuan, because he and Wang Hu had already discussed it.

Gao Yuan nodded and said: "Uncle Xiang, Brigadier Wang, I understand what you mean. You called me here just because you want me to tell you how to make this knife right."

Wang Hu smiled and said: "It's not about how to do it, but how to do it simply. It needs to be a method that can be done on a large scale based on our current conditions."

Gao Yuan said without hesitation: "Then the forging method can be ruled out. Forging has lower requirements for raw materials. No matter it is long or short, round or square, as long as it is steel, it can be used to make a knife, and it can even be used

It can be made by clamping steel with iron, such as construction steel bars, and the raw materials are definitely easier to find, but the problem is where are there any blacksmiths now, so mass production is impossible."

"Well, let's talk about a simpler way."

Gao Yuan was so confident that he didn't need to think about it because he had done the same thing too many times.

"The simplest way is to use car spring plates. This is the easiest material to find, right? You can even use iron plates with sufficient thickness. Of course, steel plates would be the best, is there any?"

Wang Hu shook his head and said: "No, the spring plate is the most ready-made, but is the performance of the spring plate good?"

"There is absolutely no problem. Spring steel is manganese steel. As long as it passes the heat treatment, it has very good toughness and hardness. The only problem is that it tends to rust."

Gao Yuan was confident now. He smiled and said: "When looking for vans and small trucks, the thickness and length of the spring plates can be used directly. The spring plates of large trucks are too thick and wide, so it is more troublesome to process."

"Tell me about the specific processing conditions and requirements."

"It's very simple, first anneal the spring plate completely, and then find a way to cut it into the required shape..."

"Wait a minute, don't talk so fast, please be more detailed. How do you cut it into the required shape?"

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said: "Wire cutting, water cutting, gas welding, or even an angle grinder. When it's hot, use a punch. Use whatever you can find. I think the most feasible method now is gas welding, right?"

"

Wang Hu wrote down Gao Yuan's words in a notebook, and then he said happily: "Yes, it is difficult to solve other problems, but we do have acetylene gas welding, and liquefied gas welding. This is good, this

completely fine!"

Gao Yuan smiled and said: "Okay, cut out the shape with gas welding, then polish it with a grinding wheel, and the blade will come out. Then use gas welding again. Of course, electric welding will also work. Weld the blade body and the iron pipe together, and a knife will come out."

."

Wang Hu was stunned again and said: "It's very simple!"

Gao Yuan spread his hands and said: "Of course it's simple. It's not difficult in the first place. This kind of knife must look ugly, but can you believe that it can be regarded as a treasured sword in ancient times? What's better is that this kind of long knife does not need to be sharpened.

It's too sharp. Let me put it simply, you can use it by grinding it directly with a grinding wheel. There is no need for fine grinding, which saves time and labor."

Wang Hu nodded to Gao Yuan and said, "I think it's very feasible. How about you being responsible for making the knife?"

"Okay, actually these are very simple. You can master them once you teach them. Just arrange for someone to watch me do it once. However, there are some requirements that must be met. For example, the quenching step is very demanding, but I think there must be some people among the survivors who are engaged in it.

It would be great if those who work in heat treatment can find someone who is professional in heat treatment.”

Wang Hu smiled and said: "You and Team Xiang decide on the type of knife. I will be responsible for arranging manpower and equipment for you. Once the equipment is in place, we will start working on it, so that you can have weapons available earlier. Xiao Gao, you have given a very mature idea."

The solution is great!”

Gao Yuan exhaled and said helplessly: "You must be mature. This is how I played in the beginning. I made the knife with the simplest materials and the simplest method."

"I'm just curious. Have you always been a knife maker?"

Gao Yuan shook his head and said helplessly: "I wanted to be a knife maker, but unfortunately I couldn't do it. I had to go to work in the end."

"Why not? Is it illegal?"

"It's not that it's illegal, it's just that the courier won't send it..."

Wang Hu was a little stunned and said: "Why do you have to send it out?"

"Because it was bought by knife lovers from out of town, and there are only a few knife lovers in the local area."

Wang Hu still didn't understand. Gao Yuan smiled and said: "The knives we play are different. They are high-end goods. You thought I made pig-killing knives worth tens of dollars a piece. That's okay.

"

Wang Hu became even more curious and said: "High-end? How high-end?"

Gao Yuan thought for a while and said: "Well, I'll just sell it for a few thousand yuan. I don't make long swords. If I make long swords, it would be more expensive, but I'm not good at it."

Wang Hu was extremely surprised. He said with a surprised look on his face: "A short knife costs several thousand yuan? That is indeed high-end."

Not a typical reaction for a knife lover, Gao Yuan smiled and said: "It's just fun, the things you play with are expensive."

Wang Hu looked like he couldn't understand or accept it, but he still said with a face of relief: "Back to the topic, I have been worried about this knife for a few days, and now I finally have a mature solution. Gao Yuan, you will
