Chapter 79: Eight Sides Majestic
Now cold weapons have been eliminated by high technology and become a plaything collected by enthusiasts, but in ancient times, a fine sword was not only priceless, but even a symbol of status.
On the basis of summarizing the glorious history of swords, Qianlong gathered the masterpieces of swords made in the Qing Dynasty, and established the "Imperial Ritual Schema", which included the famous swords of military equipment in the canonical system.
Divided into categories, the ranks are strictly stipulated, such as the emperor's saber, the emperor's Jili attendant saber, the emperor's attendant saber, the prince's saber, Shun Dao 1 (for the left wing of the forward), Shun Dao 2 (for the right wing of the forward), the ladder knife (for the Jianrui battalion), the flat knife (for the Han army of the Han Army), and the wide blade flat knife (for the green battalion).
After designing the pattern, Su Yuan took Xu Kui to start his work, and took out a piece of iron ore weighing thirty-six catties, not one out of ten, and only after refining it into steel could he make a two-kilogram waist knife.
"Boost the wind!"
"Hard!"
"Hurry up!"
Su Yuan controlled the temperature and kept using a small hammer to master the rhythm, Xu Kui was engrossed in cooperating, outputting with all his might, and cooperating tacitly.
"Quench!"
Su Yuan picked up the red knife embryo, and at the most dazzling moment of the yellow mang, he slammed it into the cold spring water of the yellow mud, and suddenly the green smoke steamed and the water splashed everywhere.
"Oil quenching!"
Take advantage of the fleeting few seconds, and then insert it into the oil, less than a second, continue to heat, the action is smooth, like an antelope hanging horns, natural.
Xu Kui was watching from the side, and he wanted to say that he had followed Su Yuan for just two months, and his level had improved by leaps and bounds, especially his eyesight, which was much sharper than before.
But I didn't expect the master's progress to be greater, and every time there is a new feeling, whether it is rhythm or control, it can be called a pervert, and the heat is even accurate to the second!
Looking at the master's weightless movements, his calm expression, the stupid big man was like a high mountain, and he secretly doubted more than once: This operation will not be brought out of the mother's womb, right?
Su Yuan had no distractions, he was already immersed in the wonderful realm, not only observing with his eyes, but even his ears could sense the priority after each hammer drop, and the sound of striking iron was crisp and pleasant, which was fascinating.
The swords seem to be the same, but in fact they are very different. Especially in terms of shape, the sword requires a uniform thickness on both sides to achieve sharp lethality.
The knife is completely different, the back of the knife must be thick, the blade must be sharp, and a knife can be cut through thorns and thorns and take the head of the general.
There is a special process for the security guard to fold the waist knife: adding steel back iron. As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade, generally speaking, the cutting edge mainly plays a cutting role, and the higher hardness can ensure the sharpness of the knife, so choose the steel with higher carbon content and greater hardness to clamp on the knife body.
The so-called steel back iron is a layer of iron sheets, a layer of steel sheets, six layers of iron sheets and five layers of steel sheets, a total of 11 layers of superposition, bundled with metal sheets or iron wires, placed on the furnace to be calcined, when the furnace temperature rises to 1300 °C, the pig iron bar begins to melt.
When the steel flowers are splashed, the iron parts are clamped with fire tongs and rotated left and right, so that the soft iron is evenly poured into the steel strip around, and the fire tongs clamp the iron parts and take out the hammer forging into a piece, so that repeated burning and beating, that is, it produces a good carburizing effect, and produces a violent oxidation effect, so that the iron and slag are separated, and the steel is fused into one knife blank.
Then it is the most critical folding, make a peculiar pattern on the knife body, put the knife embryo into the furnace to calcinate, take it out when the steel flowers are splashing, clamp it firmly at both ends with fire tongs, and twist it right and then left like twisting twist.
Burn once and twist once, and finally reach eight turns of right twisting and seven turns of left twisting, the purpose is to finally present various textures on the cutter body. How to twist what pattern appears depends on the experience and skill of the craftsman.
As for grinding, polish the surface of the knife chamber with a local grinding stone, then tie the cut fresh ephedra grass to the wooden stake, insert the knife into the bale of straw, twitch back and forth and rub repeatedly, and use the chemical reaction and friction of ephedra grass juice to achieve the polishing of the knife body, revealing the Taoist pattern.
Finally, the boiling knife, according to the size of the knife to prepare a pot, put in the appropriate amount of alum and water, put the knife into the water to boil, because the alum has the effect of removing rust and stain, so after boiling for a period of time, the steel that is folded and fused but the hardness and softness are different, showing their true colors.
The iron is white, and the steel is green. The knife hall presents a green and white flowing linear texture, some like flowing clouds and flowing water, and some like pine branches and leaves, which is very beautiful.
One side of the water and soil to raise one side of the people, skilled craftsmen according to local conditions, after using local materials to create brilliant works, many ideas make Su Yuan's eyes shine, especially the cooking knife, it is completely a stroke of genius.
"Open light!"
After a day and a night, Su Yuan took the dragon teng waist knife that flashed with a hint of golden light, and launched the hair-blowing blade, the white light flashed in front of him, and the golden light was dazzling in an instant, and it was directly upgraded to a golden light treasure knife!
Su Yuan let out a long breath and compared Long Yuan with each other, seeing that the former was better. Originally, it was a golden light top-grade, and after the opening of the light, it has now evolved into the legendary purple light sword.
After all, Long Teng is not talented, and he has only reached the golden light standard after the Five Elements Technique and the Blowing Blade, but it is also the first golden light knife that Su Yuan has ever seen, and the meaning is different.
Bite......
Xu Kui watched his latest proud work being cut in two by Long Teng, his face was full of frustration, and he originally thought that he could hold on at least a few times, but the result was still ......
Shoot in seconds!
Sniper!
A headshot!
Emi Yanagi was even more excited next to him, obsessed with holding the dragon, the island people have a better sense of knives, and they came all the way to find a more awesome secret recipe for casting knives, and now they finally got what they wanted.
Su Yuan took out the last piece of iron ore, and after resting for a day, he struck while the iron was hot, and created another Bafang Han sword, which he had a soft spot for since he saw Zheng Huafeng's sword last time.
"It's called Long Wei!"
Majestic, coming from all directions, this is where the domineering of the true dragon prince lies!
Holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the blade of the sword is one meter two long, weighing six catties and eight taels, and the cold light flickers after blowing the sharp blade, and the sword aura is compelling.
Especially the blood groove in the middle, murderous, a sword down, the whole pig was divided into two, and there was no corpse!
Xu Kui picked up Long Wei and couldn't put it down, he was stupid and powerful, ordinary swords were like wooden sticks in his hands, and only the powerful Bafang Han Sword could experience the pleasure of domineering side leakage.
Long Yuan, Long Teng, Long Wei!
Su Yuan looked at the three proud works with satisfaction, two golden lights, and one purple light, and his dream for many years was finally realized, and he felt infinite emotion in his heart.
Next, challenge the heavenly leaderboard!
Su Yuan slowly stood up and looked at the direction of the Famous Sword Villa, the system self-reliance portal has been completed, and the Su Family Sword Shop is on the track, becoming a platform for more and more grassroots sword casters to show their strength.
But halfway through the completion of the task, if you want to become famous in Longquan, or even the entire sword circle, there is only one way, the Battle Heaven List!
It will be the top of the mountain, and the mountains will be seen at a glance.
If you want to be famous for a hundred years, only the heavenly list can stand tall and achieve a century-old prestige. The top three on the heavenly list, two Shen family, one Zhou family, especially the Qinghua sword at the top of the heavenly list, is known as the proud work of the ancestors of the Shen family back then, and the killer weapon that became famous in the first battle!
