Chapter Twenty-Three: A Unique Sword-Forging Genius

"I've heard that there are people who play in the Chinese Seiko team, and there are also people from the Sigong team in Huming County!"

"Ahh Do you mean the oldest and most powerful sword-forging family in the Yunze Kingdom?"

"Yes, it may be that Huaxia Seiko has become so famous these days that it has angered such an opponent. ”

"I didn't see the young master shoot last time. I'll have to see what he says this time!"

This dialogue spread quickly on Hongshan Junxi Street. More and more passers-by crowded outside the gate of Huaxia Seiko, wrapped in layers of already hot environment, making the temperature even hotter.

There are many people who have watched the ironmaking process and think it is too boring, but those who really observe the ironmaking process closely, those who have some insight, will find it fascinating.

In the process of moving the casting hammer up and down, the strength and skill of the craftsman are now completely integrated into fire and water, and a piece of metal, originally made of stone, is gradually transformed and shaped in this forging.

Like life, in the eyes of mediocre people, decades of life are nothing more than a life of toil, life, old age, sickness and death. However, in the eyes of those who show ingenuity, life is full of brilliance, regardless of poverty or wealth, adversity or prosperity.

The four-hole year looks very good-skinned and tender, but it takes hundreds of kilograms of effort to dry it into a box. He looked relaxed when he pulled it up, but it was close to the oven. The temperature made him sweat profusely, and he had lost his childish demeanor.

Cheng Zhi stood aside, but strangely found that this Sikong Nian was sweating, but he exuded a strange fragrance, unlike him, the sweat was sour.

If Lu Zhishen didn't give up forging at first, he could quickly enter the realm of concentration without being disturbed by external things.

This ability is formed, first of all, because he is a clear-minded and strong-willed person who cannot be distracted from elsewhere for the sake of a goal. The second reason is that bionic boxing, whether it is a bear, a tiger, a crane, an ape or a deer, has a good effect on cultivating people's attention.

However, Lu Zhishen did not give up every wrought iron, he always stood on a pile like a bear naturally. Every beating is undoubtedly like a fight with someone.

This may be possible for someone else to do. For example, Sikong Dianwei, once he holds the casting hammer, even if he is not very familiar with it, he can quickly find his state, give up his thoughts, and concentrate on forging.

But if you really want to compare, the commonplace people still don't abandon the good land. Of course, forging competition is not just a competition, the real competition is technology.

But in the almost same falling speed of the two of them, the giant hammer in their hands struck easily, and the blazing sparks spread out in all directions, and they were stunned in the three layers of onlookers, but it was obvious that no one left at this time.

The reason, of course, is that most people are slowly attracted to their skills, while a few are really bored and want to leave. However, they are afraid that others will laugh at them, and they cannot understand them. Moreover, he couldn't go out, so they could only continue to squat and watch.

Although two hundred catties of black iron is smaller than pure iron, it is also a large piece, and the first common idea is to make it into a two-handed broadsword, this kind of broadsword will also be liked by many warriors, in addition to the lethality is not weak, there is also an advantage that the defense is good, after all, the body is wide, like half a shield.

Lu Zhishen did not give up, and what he created was not a two-handed sword. He wanted to make a sword that could be used with one and both hands. Then the body of the sword must not be too wide. After all, in that case, the use of the sword will be affected.

Yes, black iron of the same weight should have the same volume. If you don't make it wider, it will eventually become a cylinder.

The person asking this question is undoubtedly a layman. Accumulation can change the molecular density. Theoretically, it is enough to compress a cubic meter of black iron into a palm-sized amount of iron. Of course, only immortal gods have such terrifying powers.

Lu Zhishen did not give up, but Lu Zhishen did not give up his belief, that is, he had enough strength to complete the beating of black iron that was second only to steel and jade, so he should be able to achieve what he wanted in his heart.

"Look, have you noticed that Sikong Dianwei returned to the stove significantly faster than not abandoning his master, does that mean he has more power?"

"What's your theory? The speed of heat dissipation varies depending on the way you play. Someone who knows little about the art of forging should say, "How can a man judge the technique from the moment he returns to the furnace?"

The other group, who seemed to know a thing or two about forging, stroked his chin three inches. "In my opinion, this does not abandon the master and Sikong Dianwei. I'm afraid they are adversaries. Even if the weapon is fake, it's hard to compete!"

However, as time went on, two hours passed, and the average person could not see why. However, Sikong Nian was a little surprised: "It's been 61 times, and Uncle Dian Wei's physical strength is also showing signs of declining, but this boy is not tired at all?"

Half an hour passed, and the black iron in Si Kang Weidian's hand began to be cast, but Lu Zhishen did not give up, but still cast it.

In an instant, half an hour passed, and the Xuan Tie Sword was fully formed in Si Kang Weidian's hands. But at this time, Lu Buqi was still forging.

After looking at it complicatedly, Lu Sikang threw the heavy sword in his hand into the quenching pool, and then took out the tempering spear with extremely skillful means, seventy-nine, which can barely be called eighty iron-smelting Xuan broadswords, this level is absolutely high in the entire Yunze country.

However, Lu Zhishen did not give it up, and he did not begin casting until Si Kang Weidian successfully completed the blank of the black iron broadsword with a handle one foot long, a body length of four feet, and a width of about nine inches.

Moreover, judging from Sikong Nian's mouth shape, Sikong Dian Wei clearly knew that he had obviously lost one hundred and three times in this regard. But there is no final result, the commonplace Wei Dian still does not believe that the gap between them will be so big, in his opinion, Lu Buqi is likely to be overdrawn for the sake of victory, if Lu Buqi is moldy and unsuccessful because of exhaustion, then Lu Buqi This is a failed forging.

Some people may say, what kind of exhaustion, this time is not over, next time I will rest and play again. In fact, this view is wrong...

In this world, mainstream weapons are often rated excellent based on the number of stacks, as most metals can be stacked to increase density and strength.

However, this reinforcement is applied by an external force in a short period of time. If the forging die cannot be successfully quenched in a continuous time, it will be in vain. Because the quenching time has a great impact on the strength of a weapon, once the pause is too long, then many stacking effects will disappear quickly.

What's more, the awareness of this stacking is quite high when it comes to forging frequencies. If several different craftsmen take turns building it, the greatest possibility would be to build weapons and equipment that are full of cracks. Unless these craftsmen are like-minded people, the collaboration of many cannot be applied to the stacking technique.

Therefore, mastering the skills of folding and striking is the basis of a blacksmith, and a mature blacksmith should know how to maintain sufficient physical strength. Because in addition to the most time-consuming stacking, there are also very technical, energy-intensive small hammer moulds, followed by steps such as quenching and tempering. If a person is unable to do so by insisting on repeated beatings, the casting mold will not be successful, and it is frustrating to manufacture a semi-finished product.

Like Scon Weidian, he's good at it. After the workout was completed, his physical strength was also low. And Tie Xuan Guo Jian is basically completed. After all, things like polishing, polishing, and cutting can be done later.

However, when Si Kangwei went to see Lu Zhishen as an outsider, he suddenly found that he did have a big gap with Lu Zhishen in this regard.

Especially when he saw that Lu Zhishen did not give up the sledgehammer, but replaced it with a small hammer, and smashed the first hammer on the red black long iron, the fire that had been foaming at the mouth of the stove had fallen on him like a wave of wheat blown by the wind.

"PSST..."Sikong Weidian gasped.

When Lu Zhishen did not give up the second hammer and struck it again, the flames fell again, and the heat wave blurred the shape of Lu Zhishen's body. Sikong Dian Wei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief: "No one can compare to the genius of sword forging!"
