After another hammer, the temperature of the iron bar dropped, and Liu Heming put it back in the furnace, and Kitagawa Hideo put it more than ten minutes earlier than him.
Kitagawa Hideo's face also became grim, Liu Heming's hammering speed was too fast, and he hammered the blade more than himself. Moreover, Liu Heming's physical strength is abundant, and after this hammer just now, people didn't even sweat. After putting the knife embryo in the stove, the people went to play with the children.
In fact, in terms of hammering skills, Liu Heming has surpassed Hideo Kitagawa. It is not yet possible to judge the effect of the hammer, which will not be known until the katana is actually forged.
"Daddy, drink water. Alex obediently scooped a spoonful of spring water from the wooden barrel on the side with a small spoon.
Liu Heming took it and drank the spoonful of cold spring water directly. It was called a refreshment, and a trace of fire that had just been forged from the wrought iron was all extinguished by this spoonful of cold spring water.
Alyx, this is not the end, and he peeled another boiled egg from the spring water on the side to Liu Heming. In the heart of the little guy, it has nothing to do with us to compete, we still prefer this kind of little game.
"Okay, you guys strike iron here, and I'll take the trouble back and rest for a while. Sasha said with a smile.
She is also worried about Liu Heming, but seeing that Liu Heming's current state is so relaxed, she has a bottom in her heart, so she doesn't have to worry too much about this matter.
"My forging probably doesn't stop, so don't forget to have lunch at noon. Liu Heming looked at these people who were watching the excitement again.
"Mr. Liu, do you want to keep building?" a reporter approached Liu Heming with a microphone.
Liu Heming glanced at her and nodded amusedly, "As you wish, I will continue to build without rest until the forging is completed." And I can also tell you that the grinding time will also be short. ”
"In other words, I will be able to build this knife by tomorrow morning at the latest, and sooner tonight. Isn't it a surprise?"
Liu Heming's answer really brought a surprise to the reporter, and her original intention was to come over and squeeze Liu Heming, so that he would give up rest as soon as he was impulsive. The craftsmanship created in this way will definitely be affected.
But after Liu Heming readily agreed to her and gave her a time node, it really brought her a "surprise". Agreed so quickly, and looked so determined, what is the reason?
Normal forging takes several months, and it takes a lot of swordsmen to work together. This time, even if the requirements are not so high, and some processes are simplified, is it really possible in less than 24 hours?
If that's the case, before the real competition between the two knives, Hideo Kitagawa has already lost the first half. It was something she didn't want to see, and it wasn't something she wanted to broadcast about.
Liu Heming's voice was not high, but the people nearby also heard it. Those knife-making masters also turned over in their hearts, and they didn't know if Liu Heming was bragging or really had such skills and strength.
It's not that the longer you hammer, the better, everything is just right, and Liu Heming's strength can completely make up for the lack of hammering time.
Now they feel that Hideo Kitagawa has made a mistake in this challenge. The normal knife competition should also be built in your own home, and then you will compete.
Hideo Kitagawa decided to compete together because he was confident of winning and wanted to show off his knife forging skills. But the current situation is that Liu Heming's knife forging skills are not worse than him, and they are higher, which has affected him even more.
If Hideo Kitagawa doesn't find and maintain his rhythm, then the performance of this knife is worrying, and it is difficult to truly reflect Hideo Kitagawa's strength.
But the audience doesn't see it that way, because in their eyes, all the conditions are fair and equal, and under such fair conditions, then the result is also fair.
The mood is very complicated, at least for now, Liu Heming's performance has exceeded their expectations. It seems that the technology is much stronger than when the dagger was first created.
They are all in the industry, so they naturally know where Liu Heming's strength is. Such a relaxed performance now can only be the embodiment of Liu Heming's strength.
The iron bar over there was burned again, and Liu Heming continued to hammer after he took it out.
Now he uses his medium-sized hammer, which also hammers the part where the blade and the blade meet. Without the little baby here, Liu Heming hammered more casually.
The speed was very fast, hammer after hammer, and the sound of hammering was continuous.
Just now, Hideo Kitagawa was only affected a little, but the current percussion sound has too much impact on him. He had to find earplugs to plug his ears, otherwise the knife in his hand would definitely be hammered.
As Liu Heming said, his hammering will not stop because of the loss of physical strength. When he burns iron bars, it is time for him to regain his strength, and he should eat and drink.
Master Saito performed live on the side, and as soon as Liu Heming stopped, he would cut some sashimi for him, and it was Alyx's baby who accompanied Liu Heming to feast together.
People were not idle, they set up a small stove on the side and grilled a lot of seafood for Liu Heming. When Liu Heming rested, he put it on a plate very obediently and sent it over, and the tourists on the side were a little greedy.
It's hard work to watch it all the time, and there's no one here to prepare a stool for them. So what now? Let's eat alfresco.
Suzanne beckoned the workers and masters of the inn to make it on the spot, and then set up a small table here, and took up a large area.
It's the way to eat the buffet, whoever is hungry will go over and eat by themselves, and they will eat whatever they want.
Don't look at the people who came with Hideo Kitagawa are people with a certain status, but Suzanne doesn't receive too much preferential treatment here. The only difference between them and these tourists is that they have stools to sit on. If you're hungry and want to eat, you'll have to get it yourself.
Liu Heming's job is very simple, except for eating and playing with Alex in the past, the rest of the time is spent forging this knife.
The current hammer has been replaced by a small hammer, and the blade of the katana is hammered. Don't look at the small hammer, but the hammer sound is much louder than the medium hammer.
As night fell, the lights were lit here, and Hideo Kitagawa had stopped. If he continues to build like Liu Heming, he won't be able to continue building tomorrow.
His expression was very gloomy, he didn't expect that his physical strength was so different from Liu Heming. Now Liu Heming looks only a little tired.
Even if he knew that he should go and rest now, regain his strength, and save it for tomorrow to continue building. But he really didn't have the slightest mood to rest, he wanted to see how Liu Heming was going to build this katana.
Liu Heming did not disappoint him, picked up the sledgehammer again, and hammered the blade. In this way, the sledgehammer, medium hammer, and small hammer are constantly rotated over and over again, hammering the blade, the blade and the blade junction area, and the blade over and over again.
The weather is not cool now, and because of the attraction of the lights, some mosquitoes are also attracted to fly around the lights. But these tourists who have been insisting on watching are a little surprised, because these mosquitoes only fly in the sky and do not fly down to harass everyone.
Even though this is a hot spring area, there is occasionally a smell of sulfur wafting through it, but I have never experienced it in the sky all the time and not coming down like this.
Normally, it's just less.
It was already early in the morning, and Liu Heming's expression became more focused.
The food needed for his body had been replenished in front of him, and now he had devoted all his attention to the forging, and there were a lot more beads of sweat on his body.
Although he has been building for so long, his hands are still very steady, and the sound of percussions is also steady in people's ears. This physical performance is no longer just as simple as being amazed.
This terrifying performance of physical strength is a little scary.
The sky was faint, and Liu Heming finally finished the hammering of the blade for the last time, and put the finished knife into the furnace to heat it quickly.
"Dad, are you done?" Alex on the side rubbed his eyes and asked in a daze.
"It's going to be fine right away, I'm going to help my dad in a while." Liu Heming wiped the sweat from his head and said.
"Well, Alex is going to help Daddy. The little guy nodded and said very seriously.
The people who watched it all night were also tired, but now their spirits were also lifted, and they wanted to see what Liu Heming was going to do in the end.
The red-hot katana was thrown directly by Liu Heming into the sink filled with cold spring water. A burst of mist rose, and Liu Heming picked up the long knife with iron tongs and put it in the furnace.
Alex also ran over, holding a small spoon on the side, ready to go. When the long knife was burned red again, the little guy scooped up the cold spring water and poured it spoonful on the long knife.
Liu Heming carefully observed the blade and blade, and smiled with relief.
Although it is here, although there is no small lake water at home, the effect of these cold spring water is not bad. As in the past, even if it was a long knife that was built, the blade was directly hammered by him.
After the long knife cooled down, Liu Heming placed the whetstone on the side and sharpened it carefully. Between a push and a pull, even if it was just hearing this voice, the last luck in Kitagawa Hideo's heart disappeared.
He doesn't have such skills, and under normal circumstances, the final grinding process takes no short time. But when Liu Heming was hammering, he was able to cut the knife, which he really didn't have.
Liu Heming simply polished it, and then wrapped the blade of the knife with a cloth and grabbed it with his hands.
Under the reflection of the light, a cold light flashed on the blade.
